----------------------------------------
At long last, both forces of Hiyakawa and Erika meet, and what a confrontation between the both of them to gamble control of Mikado. Especially for Erika since she can curse people, she's a necromancer.

The scene of Mikado getting more "training" by Hiyakawa is just about the most BL thing ever to spew out spirits.

Mikado is getting more freaked out by seeing ghosts within people that the Average Joe can't see, this time servicing a client couple whom the wife feels like she's being haunted at and cursed by her mother by bringing the marriage upon themselves.

I get it that this show is less BL and more freaky, and balance is crucial, so at least more of learning about Mikado's family is good I guess.

It's quite interesting that this show managed to be BL and scary at the same time, quite a rare combination.

This was pretty good balance of horror and BL

I just really wish Hiyakawa would discuss what he plans to do with Mikado

The contrast of Mikado and his mother, to Erika and her mother, I can't help but think those parallels might just have more to them

At least now we're learning more and finding out about a possible organisation who uses spirits for their own gain

I find it fascinating how Mikado's past experiences with spirit sense so closely mirrors the experience of being in the closet. Having a secret side to yourself that no one knows, learning to read the room to appear like everyone else, afraid of being found out and ridiculed, and feeling isolated from other people.

I think most stories with secret identities can be read with a queer lens, but "Sankaku Mado" differentiates itself by actually having a gay relationship front and center. So the gay subtext and the gay text get to run along side each other.

The rare combination of BL and horror works so well, considering the history of horror and queer subtext.

The pacing is more decent than previous episodes. This is probably the first episode I genuinely found interesting. Mysterious and intriguing new characters appear, but the intrigue grows bigger around the detective.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

They are cutting so much content to the point that things are not even making sense now. I don't mind small things being changed, as long as it works. Here, it doesn't work at all.

The OP and ED are so forgettable. They don't blend with this anime at all, and so I can't think of them when thinking about this anime. xxxHolic's OP would fit this anime much better!

At least the voice acting for Hiura Erika is good.

Now the cases went way beyond what was usual they were investigating but this one really was bizarre.

Eh, kinda bored by this one. The opening doesn't really fit the genre of anime in my opinion, or atleast only feels like the boys love part of it. Also, the further we go the more I just dislike Hiyakawa. He just feels like the typical possessive character that's really just poor representation.

So Erika is doing what she's doing because someone is threatening her?! This is getting more interesting!

The audacity of Mikado's former classmate, he's the who called for help then he got mad?! TF!

Hiura Erika doesn't seem to be that kind of an evil person.

That ex-classmate instead of being thankful he acted like a shit even though he called Mikado to use his power to help him...

This show gets more and more interesting as it goes, I’m actually enjoying it a lot now lol, don’t worry, I haven’t been converted into a BL fan, I have just looked past it or find it as part of the charm. And it turns out there’s more to Erika than meets the eye (as expected) but her connection to Mikado is bit clearer now. I’ve found myself liking her a lot too.

So it's actually not BL, just fanservice? MAL tags are so misleading. Might as well put Free! under BL.

Omg I like Erika. She’s so mysterious & creepy lol

I didn’t really understand why that guy was such a dick to Mikado?? Wasn’t he the one who asked Mikado to come but yet he was so hostile for god knows what reason even after they helped & tried to solve things. What did Mikado do to him zzzzzz

I love all the Erika scenes. That ending was so creepy!!!! Her mum ignoring her & clearly displeased & that creepy man wtf......

AND DID HIYAKAWA EAT THE CURSED OBJECT AGAIN OR AM I TRIPPIN







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there
