| So glad that Hokuto is alive and is actually a shikigami!...so so glad... The Cgs are getting pretty good, great even. Suzuka isn't that bad afterall, still not fond of her as she is a killer, at least she is repenting for now... He so loved Hokuto, damn OTP... So Hokuto was Natsume... Oh God, that's so ugh- surpising... I was so sure by the time the tradition was brought up and then he said that he got everything. Seriously, that was awesome. So my OTP i.e. Hokuto x Harutora is the same as Natsume x Harutora, hahahah. Harutora is so hopeles and dense xD Lol, Hokuto haters were actually hating Natsume coz apparently she was 'tomboyish' that's what you get for going for looks only :p I am really enjoying this trolling moment and I can't stop my laughter imagine their dumbfounded looks when they found that out XD But for some reason, I love Hokuto x Harutora just a bit more, I mean I know they are the same persons but don't know, maybe it's the voice?... Shipping is weird thing for sure. But still I loveee both of these pairing almost equally |
 |
| Something is still amiss and very confusing there. :S Hokuto is Natsume shikigami, but they act similar so it kinda seems that Hokuto can maybe be a part of Natsume soul or something like thet which she sent so she can be around Harutora while away from him in Tokyo? Kinda split personality but literal ? :S But then there is dragon who is also called Hokuto and that defies my first reasoning and conclusion. Everything seems paradoxical to me! I am over-thinking it it now :S Mind fuck ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :v P.s. and that white fox chibi at the end who is counting till she is shown in anime is voiced by Kugimiya Rie! <3 Or i am tripping that also? :S |

Well I mean he ended up just borrowing power, That sword and the cabinet of blood had nothing to do with and kind of his own power they were just doing what they were designed to do. It was promising to see the whole "overcome with will power" thing that happened with the blood talismans but other than that haven't seen any actual power of his own. And knowing anime he won't show any until the last 2 episodes. Doesn't really make much sense. Those weapons are just tools end, how they are used is what matters. This goes the same for any power Harutora in the future. Hell Natsume is actually trained magic unlike him thus much stronger and yet she bulks in highly critically situations where it be the most useful opposed to Harutora's decisive thinking and actions. Power isn't everything and neither would have made it without cooperating. He was certainly far from useless. |

| Natsume was cute at the end of the episode. It's as if Hokuto still lives inside her. They are basically the same person. I knew it ever since episode 2 when Natsume knew that Harutora kissed another girl. |
 |
| Way better ep than last 2, the action is great! The main guy is still an idiot but hes sweet i guess(i still punch that blonde loli though). Can't wait for the next arc. |
 |
| Bakatora really is a fitting nickname for our MC, I can't believe he is that dense !! |
 |
| Haha, I kind of thought she was her familiar. :P Again, only the MC doesn't fucking get it, lol. |
| Touji just became my favorite character in TR XD Valegard said: I'm curious about the correlation between the ribbon that Horutora gave to Hokuto and the Ribbon that is on Natsume. Anyone have any ideas? You remind me of Bakatorra XD The whole scene at the end was supposed to tell, to those who still didn't notice it, that Hokuto and Natsume are the same person (thus, it is the same ribbon) Hokuto is Natsume shikigami, but they act similar so it kinda seems that Hokuto can maybe be a part of Natsume soul or something like thet which she sent so she can be around Harutora while away from him in Tokyo? Kinda split personality but literal ? :S But then there is dragon who is also called Hokuto and that defies my first reasoning and conclusion. Everything seems paradoxical to me! I am over-thinking it it now :S Mind fuck ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :v I think it is simpler than that: Hokuto was simply directly controlled by Natsume. The fact that they share memories and personality doesn't really leave much room for Hokuto being her own person. |
 |
| I knew it, Hokuto is Natsume's familiar after all. Hokuto pretty much got her personality from Natsume herself. Hopefully, the anime becomes better after this introductory arc. |

And knowing anime he won't show any until the last 2 episodes. Wasn't Harutora supposed to be the "untalented" one in his family? he didn't even want to become a shaman in the first place. I think it makes sense that he doesn't have much power if he barely trained as a shaman. In the end all of the shamans we've seen were mostly using tools as you said. They fought by using their familiars, weapons (so far we've seen guns, sword, bow), seals.. I bet Harutora will have his own shikigami later on, probably that white hair fox girl in the preview |

| Three eps. and I still don't see any ravens. |

EDIT: I haven't read the light novel but the evidence does seem to point to Natsume being the animator of Hokuto the girl familiar. Especially since she knew who Touji was. Happy to say I couldn't give this episode anything other than a 5/5. Best of the 3 episodes so far especially because they seem to have improved the fluidity of the CGI scenes a bit compared to episode 2. |

| Everything about this episode was predictable. I couldn't enjoy the fight because of the shitty CGI. Also ffs, how stupid do you have to be to not notice that Hokuto was Natsume's shikigami? |

Seriously, there is no reason to insult others just because you figured it out, connection was hidden quite well enough that hard to notice unless looking for specific details or were manga/lLN reader. |

Umm, I meant the MC, not the viewers. It should be fairly obvious to him with all the similar lines from Hokuto and Natsume and the fact Natsume has a dragon with the same name. I mean, come on... |
| Hokuto = Natsume? Yes? Bakatora is stupid LOL Even I understood that. :P Kise Touji's funny. I'd like to see more of him. I'm glad they fixed some of the audio volume issues this time, but execution still lacks a bit. It just seems irregular to place a big fight scene in the third episode when none of the characters have gotten any development yet, nor do I care about them that much. I'm not quite sure why Suzuka was in the midst of this arc - she's not very interesting, other than being obsessed with her onii-chan. |
| Anime of the season that look on Touji's eyes xD |

| hurrrrrrrtora |
 ^ Why isn't this updating... |

I see. However he already asked her about Dragon's name though and she simply lied. Harutora has no reason to distrust her before why would he now? Furthermore Hokuto is a common name anyway. Her lines themselves don't mean anything on their own. |

| Bakatora indeed. At least the characters are aware of that. Sensing a running gag... |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
| Shenron!! The fight was ok and looking forward to the new school they're going to! Baka-tora indeed :) |
 |
| so wut happened to the loli... shes like the only redeeming char. natsume not bad but this MC useless as fuark fucking OP box though |
    |
Kurogashi said: so wut happened to the loli... shes like the only redeeming char. natsume not bad but this MC useless as fuark fucking OP box though Harutora is certainly dense (which is amusing), but how was he useless again? |
| Bakatora after all those hints he still doesn't get it. But its good to know that Hokuto was Natsume herself. |
 |
| It's a shame this show has pretty awful CG because I am actually really enjoying it so far. Already had some great moments. |
 |
| I think the graphics are really cool. except the contrast may be a bit weird but it's like my ideal world ( yeah make me into an anime character). anyone know what happened to Suzuka? |
 |
Andyis said: I think the graphics are really cool. except the contrast may be a bit weird but it's like my ideal world ( yeah make me into an anime character). anyone know what happened to Suzuka? Omitted from the anime, but Onmyou Agency took her into custody afterward. Not to hard to guess. |
| So Hokuto is Natsume's familiar, not a big surprise, since they call Harutora the same nickname, and after the dragon showed up it was pretty obvious. |
 |
| DAT DRAGON..!! XD holy.. it was a great... no awesome episode so far..! XD bakatora ~~ XD I was really suprised when know if natsume is the one who controlling hokuto.. XDDDD damn it is really amazing story from the beginning :3 yes!! our hokuto is back,. I mean new hokuto lol :3 XD it is gonna be more funny if bakatora know what natsume means :p |
| That works. Natsume fans and Hokuto fans alike can rejoice. Touji gets even cooler even with screentime like 3 minutes. Bakatora is an unparalleled baka. And now I'm even more certain that Bakatora is the reincarnated Yakou. |

Him being Yakou was my best bet. Or maybe Natsume is the reincarnated Yakou and Bakatora is his reincarnated lady familiar? That works too. |

| What is in the box? It is too convenient just throw in the wooden box and yey all done wtf Been looking forward to this show but wth And why is natsume so uselessly noob? Wow 2\5 |
| Really liked this episode. Nice and intense |
 |
| MC is pretty oblivious >,> |

YoumuKonpaku said: Akanezora said: The end of the ritual was so predictable, didn't you learn anything from Edward Elric? So, Hokuto was Natsume's shikigami? Kinda unexpected. I think it is extremely funny that you found that part predictable but somehow didn't see the shikigami thing coming. I know right? |

Wow 25 The box contains ancient spell charms kept by the Tsuchimikado family. When it hit the spirit vein/link it overloaded it due to share power. Furthermore Natsume isn't weak, just inexperienced in combat. Nothing wrong with that. |

Everything is not that simple as you thought parfaited said: If Touji was the MC instead of the other idiot I would have given this show some extra points. Anyway I don't really care for this show. The story of my life is that I get hyped up for so many shows and when I get to watching them they don't appeal to me anymore but i'm glad some people are able to enjoy and put up with everything. It must be nice. Because you don't understand the purpose of why they choose the idiot as main char and you don't accept that kind of character so you accidently ruin your enjoyment with the show and think it bad even thought the show is good |

Harutora has caught on to Natsume's odd behavior several times, but other stuff usually happens to take his mind off it. There are MC's way worse in denseness than him and unfortunately aren't played with for laughs. |

| Episode was good though it was kind of predictable when Suzuka's is resurrecting her brother, I knew something bad is going to happen. Also the CG in here kind of dull but I'll get used to it later on. Oh well the fight was pretty good. Natsume's horse and dragon looked cool when fighting against those machines and kind of intense when the brother is strangling Suzuka. Well at least the ending looks lively for the characters and Natsume blushing everywhere. Huh Harutora is remembering something about her ribbon wonder what that could be. |
