| Did Akihito just teleported or something?!?! Mirai had to hitchhike all the way over there on top of a truck to get where the Hollow Shadow was... anime logic ftw :D |
 |
| Best episode so far but I still feel like it's missing something. The new girl seems interesting though, I'm guessing she's got something to do with the girl that Kuriyama killed. |
Progeusz said: yeah that has totally never been heard of before the -monogatari seriesI think all the fetish dialogue in this show is an attempt to imitate Monogatari. A very sad attempt. Nisio is leagues above whoever wrote KnK. |
| this is it! hollow shadow has show up :3 and mirai.. what is she doing there? ~ kinda confused with the story.. :p well nice senpai back :3 |
| Wow, really good episode. The animation is amazing, as always. Really cool ways to deal with the demons, like those fights. , and now I realize that this will most likely be a favorite of this season. 5/5. |
 |
| Gears of war style anybody? ahahaha xD Good episode went really really quick so I would have to say it was pretty enjoyable. |

| Well, I guess this should be 'silence before the storm' episode building tension and but it was kinda meh for me. Not to mention that first part was full of needless scenes like 'take these money-i don't want it' and armpits again, that was so lame. And they are introducing new characters (sisters Sakura and Yui and some internet prodigy called Ichinomiya Iori) without proper introduction they deserved and were not explaining everything - also, telling two things at one time (story of Inari family and preparations for Hollow Shadow coming to the city midway through the episode) doesn't work quite well, call it bad story planning or scriptwriting. So far, this only confirms my previous thoughts that KyoAni knows well how to do moeblob but they fails really hard when it comes to some drama or action. |

| am i the only one that noticed dat d*ck shaped cookie ? love the ED |
 |
| That chainsaw sword of Sakura reminded me of Gears of War. |
 |
| The only problem I have is I'm still somewhat lost. Like, what do these people do and who was Akihito(?) standing over at the beginning of episode two?! I like it though! |
| Sorry! I must admit I am confused most of the time. Feel free to recommend anime to me, or tell me to shut up. |
| So this is kind of confusing. Who is this Sakura girl? Or did she just debuted? The end just lost me. |
| So, uh... how did the MC get where Mirai was when he was in his apartment just a shot earlier? Can't get myself to like the main pair at all after all. At least that black-haired girl in the Literature Club is cool. |
silkie said: the only thing i dont like is how the MC Akihito has no powers to fight the youma :( Yeah, I wish MC could fight aswell, it would make it alot better IMO. |
 |
| Just loving it! I believe this show will be the best of the season for me! |
 |
| I loove this anime so far~! & lol at Mirei's "I can't take it!" while holding the money |

| Loved this episode! If it keeps up like this, I may continue to watch all episodes. |
 |
| I don't feel anything for Kyoukai. I just watch it, I don't experience it. It feels... weird. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| 4/5 Episode much more exciting, we have not only the usual bickering between lovers, the protagonist and the protagonist, I meant! But also what it takes in a dark fantasy! The action! Yay! * _ * I would like an apology but also more plausible that leave you speechless, not these childish excuses alleges that Mirai! For now, the characters are going well, each with its own characteristics, so to speak, even if they could make them more serious! LOL Plot, for now, not yet intuited. Narration much more interesting, I hope we can keep a pace like this, and not just words ... words ... words! More facts, really! XD Rating of 4/5 for not giving valid explanations and extended time devoted to the two. |

 |
| that was an awesome episode again. |
 |
| KyoAni can't write for shit. A facade of character depth is worse than no depth at all because a facade gives me false hope. Next time, try making characters that aren't so damn hypocritical, and stop shoehorning these stupid ass, unnecessary, and unjustified character quirks when you've already established a somewhat serious story. I'm staying until this big black cloud thing is dealt with, then I'll decide whether it's worth continuing. |

| I called the Hallow Shadow being swooped by someone...classic. just classic. other than that part, I loved this episode. I gave it a 5/5 but that plot almost put it at 4/5. I want this to be better than my expectations. |
| KyoAni. I have come back. Please, show me more!!! D: |
| woah sakura's gunblade was sweet |
| I REALLY love this series, all of the characters are so wonderful :D! |
 |
| I don't hate it. It's just "flat", uninteresting and literally boring. One word to describe it: soulless. |
| Hoping they will focus more on the dark side of the show instead of the comedy |
| The second half of this episode was much better than the first half. Araby said: I'm going to more or less agree with this. The OST this episode was very good.Terrible plot, dialogue, and characters. Great action and OST. The dialogue is cringe worthy though. When the dialogue doesn't center around exposition or plot, it's just god awful. Here's every single conversation: "Something something glasses!" "You're a pervert." "Something something sister." "You're a pervert." "Something something fetish!" "You're a pervert." Annnd rinse and repeat. News flash: lame fetishes do not substitute personalities. "Pervert" is not a funny, original, or interesting insult. Repeating it over and over again makes me want to sucker punch you in the fucking mouth. I just really hate how every show nowadays seems incessant on treating its main character like shit. I don't think he had one conversation this entire episode where he wasn't talked down to, insulted, patronized, or otherwise treated like scum. I love that foreshadowing though. "If you want to defeat the shadow, you're going to need more lives than a cat". Hmmm... what could that possibly mean? Oh! I know! You're going to fucking die a lot if you fight this thing! And which character do we know can't die? Yayyyy Akihito! Can't wait to see him become a human punching bag next episode. I wonder how badly he's going to be torturously maimed, and then his suffering completely dismissed. That's going to be original and fun! Even in the preview he gets stabbed. Woo hoo. My thoughts on the characters so far: Main: Not enough personality, still has potential, but as of now, exists solely to be everybody's punching bag. His glasses rants are annoying. Mirai: She's a bitch. Her personality contradicts itself, and she's just overall a really terrible person. Black haired girl: She's a cunt. Scarf guy: I don't really care about him. He's too bland. The sister fetish made me roll my eyes. The other characters are unmentionable. Dat ED tho. Gets me every time. |
 |
| It was a fairly good episode, I enjoyed it anyways. |
 |
| soo firstly i thought it was cute how Mirai feels she doesnt deserve to be friends with aki and he chases her, the BL between Aki and Hiroomi is killing me, its cute, but i always expect hiro to tickle him. the moment i layed eyes on Mitsuki, i immediately thought, shes bursting out so much moe, it reminds me of mio. *favs* |
| Mirai + Money created a delightful scene ^^ Good episode. So we have an kind-off debate on fetishes ( Siscon vs Megane) Ok ?! I can't blame Mirai for her choice back then killing off her friend ( giving out the actual situation it's normal to act liked she did and also she's so cute so...) That dreamshade sure look dangerous also am i the only one who would like to have a spirit killing scarf ?. Nice fight and save scene in the end. |
 |
| Lol @ endless talk about fetishes Oh ED, why it's so beautiful?? Lol @ End card.. No expression at all |
"Signature removed"   |
| Wait wut, who is this Sakura girl?! o_o |
| cool episode! those action scenes |
 |
| Sweet episode with an interesting backstory and some great development! |
 |
| I like this series more than I want to admit xD Also, the angle shot on the way Nase was eating the giraffe animal cracker and the topic she was talking about was brilliant, ahah. |
 |
| bitch had a lancerXD why did she attack her??? I'm a little confused ahhh sleep time for me Ill have to wait even though I dont want to D: |
 |
| Good episode. Let's see what happens next. |
| Curious about this Hollow Shadow hype. |
