So, we finally got to see some full blown action, but Mai's arc is finally starting to get interesting now...

Back in 2002, the episode that showed the events of next week's episode was extremely confusing. A lot of supernatural stuff occured with very little explanation. It was a low point for the Toei Kanon. Hopefully this time we'll get a much better explanation. Honey bear honey bear!

(Mai's new idiosyncrasies in her speech are frikkin awesome!)

I wasn't terribly fond of this episode until they went shopping for Mai's present, which was great. Sayuri with the anteater on her head = uberadorable!

The last bit was pretty dang awesome as well. So the demons are after Yuuichi, eh? Interesting~

Yes cute characters just like her are just too awesome!!
Is there a word(strereotype) that discribes female characters like: Ayanami Rei, Yuki Nagato and Tabitha(from Zero no Tsukaima)?
You know the, cute-loli, cool, powerful(varies), yet shy and not very social veriety?
And yes, this is a VERY interesting arc indeed.

Anyway, I rate, since I see no Poll for this, this episode at 5/5.

I'm not sure if there is a name given to the archetype itself, but amongst moe fanboys its moe appeal is often referred to as "Silent Moe".

Sansei!!! (Agreed)

This new Kanon is great!!
They changed well some parts that had little explanation or were confusing.

But WTF, Mai throwed a fire extinguisher on Yuuichi!!! She's just insane ^.^'
I still like her anyway!!

5 demons after yuuichi
5 "important" girls in the anime
maybe the demons are Yuuichi's memories of the girls or something?

knowing key,there is an 80% probablility of not being a coincidence...

anyway,i'd better let the anime unveal in front of me,rather than trying and elucidate wth is happening here...

this episode was ok,Mai started to talk yay :)
PS:it seems that i was wrong,Mai's arc is coming next...Ayu later :/

I love Mai, but couldn't she at least have provided Yuuichi with a real steel sword instead of that wooden practice sword (a "bokken" right?). Still, they shouldn't be underestimated, as seen in High School of the Dead.

It's going to be an interesting meet with Mai's mother next episode, I wonder if she's also her sensei?

That's likely EXACTLY why she's fighting in a corridor- they can't get away as easily. And since she's smaller than the demons, that means she's got more room to maneuver than her opponents. Strategy, sir, strategy :)
Just my two cents.

They ARE sisters! poor Shiori... anyway i love Mai! she's my favorite character ^^ i loved the story on how they became friends... and that present was an amazing gift! its so big i want it!!! well it great she didn't get expelled! i really don't like that Student council guy... i liked it though that she told him to "Shut-up" and why did Mai and Yuichi get in a fight? it was pointless... im glad he's fighting by her side now... but why are they after him? oh and i loved his training! "The dog goes Woof Woof." "That was the boar, Moo." lol oh and im so happy she FINALLY killed 2 of the 5 daemons! anyway it was a great epi!

Very interesting episode. I'm really enjoying this series. The mystery is great, and I love the supernatural elements in this series. Both of which I wasn't expecting to be as important to the plot as they are.

Quite interesting attribution to the story, So mai get's saved by Yuuichi and Jun "where in the 2002 Version Jun barley had any role at all and where Mai get's expelled" here they both save her so it's some nice twist in the main story!

Also interesting is that Ayu went to Mai and it seems Mai knows what she lost but to protect Yuuichi she won't tell him "yet"!

Bucket?! Woof!

The ending was also a bit different than the 2002version though the stuffed ant eater stayed the same so that's a plus, though I'm actually happy they didn't put the ending in from the 2002Version!

Oh snap, I wonder if this has something to do with Yuichi's loss of memory. It's really weird how fast the anime turns from being one type of genre to another.

A lot of action, weird for that kind of anime but I don't really care. My guess is that these ''demon'' are somehow representation of Mai regret or repressed feeling. She doesn't seem to remember Yuuichi and him doesn't remember her too. I really want to know what happened between them in the past.

Kitagawa's here to save the day! xD
That president is really a big douche.

Ayu seem to continue to lie. What his she hiding? It must be big. Maybe she is even persuaded to say the truth, but in my opinion, what she say have too much inconsistency to be true.

Shiori mystery doesn't seem to advance... I guess we just aren't in that arc yet xD
Kaori is so cold suddenly... It make me uncomfortable :S

i just wish yuuichi was like okazaki (clannad)
this guy is too soft and i really wish he punched the student council president

also i'd like him to end up with mai, but ofc he will not, cause just like in clannad he will just have to ignore every beatiful girl around him and pick nagisa, i mean ayu*
