| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Well, I'm glad we're getting more back story to the manga. It makes their Kagura and Yomi's relationship a lot more meaningful. I'm starting to think an opening will never show up though.. Anyway, ep 3 gets a 5/5, like the first 2 eps. I'm enjoying this series a lot more than I expected to. |
| Why do the teddies look so worried in Kagura's room? now that I think about it, Yomi's hair is exactly like my friend's. ... Kagura sure has grown up, btw. So much more open and extroverted. And lots more confident. Huzzah. No time to finish watching the ep tonight though; I suppose I can edit this reply later. |
 |
| a yuri play? anyway this episode expands the black history briefly mentioned in manga successfully. |
 |
| Kagura will not died, she is the main heroine of the anime. If she actually died it will not be any story. I don't think there is so much Yuri :S |

| The "long" awaited background/flashback episode is here. It felt a bit strange that noone died in this one, lol |
Kvakond said: It felt a bit strange that noone died in this one, lol Seriously! This show is whack, I'm so lost! I like the animation/style and definitely the uniqueness... but I'm getting a bit tired of being COMPLETELY lost.. the next ep better shape up in the explanation department. |
| I really like this episode and how it is presented with the way this series started. Also like how it is slowly being revealed how the characters are all related. |
 |
| the episode was really nice and the relationship with kagura and yumi was great but how could she killed/attacked her?! |
 |
| awesome episode. |
| great episode, loved to see the interaction between the girls |
    |
| Okay.... still confused as all get out.... what the hell is going on? |
| finally! we're starting to see some plot. I gotta get OST for this when it comes out. maybe after 4 weeks we'll finally have an OP & ED & a cast that will stick around from week to week. |
 |
| Nice episode - good to see some back story between Yomi and Kagura |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ep3 doesn't dissapoint. :) And I agree....I can't understand how Yomi could turn into such a merciless killingmachine. |
| episode 3 was better then the other 2, maybe because i got to see me character development xD 5/5 for episode 3 |
| Loved this episode, so next one will explain why Yomi stabbed Kagura? |
 |
| They only show such lovely characters, to throw me off again next week, being depressed for some hours.-_- If it's brutal let it be so all the time. |
^_^  ^_^ |
| really nice ep. Kagura and Yomi really had a good relationship before huh.. |
     |
| ED song is pretty good! Of course Kagura can't be dead. they even mentioned Byakuei in this episode. It probably means Kagura will use Byakuei. In other words, she can't be die by Yomi's hand yet... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Boring.... Nothing happened other than showing the past and showing how close they were which we got when she kept saying "sister" in the 2nd ep... |
 |
| i must say that i'm rather confused about what is going on... not to mention a bit bored. they start this with that crazy first episode and now... it all seems pointless to me. i really hope this picks up again because i'm not really liking this... |
 |
| nice episode.. glad we actually got to see their past... i wonder what made Yomi so mad that she would actually want to kill Kagura... it seemed like they had such a nice relationship |
 |
Yokurama said: episode 3 was better then the other 2, maybe because i got to see me character development xD 5/5 for episode 3 Agree with you 100%... Tbh, I didnt really like the first episode much, second was abit better, but this one was way better... |
| They are finally getting into the story. It's very interesting to see how deep really was Kagura's and Yomi's relationship, because we don't get much backstory in the manga. |
| Plot-wise the episode was pretty good. Though I would have wanted more action. |
| So, what do we get with this show? A girl in school uniform fighting a girl in school uniform...seen about 100 times so far. Besides great animations I am disappointed. Episode 1 gave me high expectations, and episode 2 took all expectations away....Because this episode was only flashback I have to watch episode 4, but if nothing happens after that one, I am dropping this. |
| Great episode, even though it was just a flashback Absolutely my favourite series this season, besides Kannagi. |
     |
| Heh, Nabuu & Nabuu. Those guys are seriously awesome. Other than that, this is starting to shape into an actual story. |

Maharet said: Didn't you just mean YURI? LOLgreat episode, loved to see the interaction between the girls Anyway, an interesting background to connect to the first 2 episodes. We'll see how thing will turn out next episode. PS: If I didn't see the first 2 episodes before this one I would have like Yomi a lot T_T |

You mean getting a little backstory to show how strong the bond was between the two is pointless? Doesn't that make you even slightly interested as to the reason that she would try to kill her? Anyways, great episode. And I swear that Nabuu is voiced by Wakamoto... o.o |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Was a boring episode, but it at least lets you know somewhat of what the fuck was going on in previous episodes lol. |
WinterNightsFall said: Anyways, great episode. And I swear that Nabuu is voiced by Wakamoto... o.o They are, you can tell from the enunciation if not the voice itself...and ANN seems to be a bit more current with their character list: ANN |
| Yomi is already dead and become an evil spirit, that's it. That way her personality changed. |

| I can understand why episode 2 was there but what about ep.1? Did they just show a team of kickass exorcists in ep.1 for Yomi to kill so they can tell us how powerful she really is? ep.3 was great, now am properly interested in this anime. |
 |
| the direction in this anime is AWFUL hope it can get over such a terrible flaw, because the visuals are pretty cool |
| Heh, to much background information in one episode, which makes it boring. I hope that they will be back on track in next episode. |
| hm this ep makes me wonder wat happened to yomi to make her such a bitch in the future.... now the picture/thumb for this series seems kinda misleading considering the whole cast from the 1st ep was already killed off >.> |
 |
| YAY ! this anime is getting exciting for me though :D hahas . ant wait for the next ep ! ^^ hahas . but i odnt get y YOMI wanna go to the other side . anyways . let's hope they explains it ltr on (: |
 |
| Awww this episode was soooo sweet! They had an awsome relationship. It's so wrong to think that Yomi can actually become like that and kill Kagura. I'm dying to see what made things like they are in the current story time. |
 |
| After seeing their relationship, I too wonder what the hell happened to Yomi? |
| This series is a total mess. As someone else on MAL mentioned, everything wrong with anime is on show here, ranging from super-powered school girls with swords to elite special forces of youngsters (well, mostly) who happen to be the last line of defence the world has against evil. School girls need to be banned from any Japanese animation that isn't pornographic. The first episode had a likeable (enough) cast of generic/copied characters, but it was all mindless (and physically impossible) monster killing until close to the end. The terrific ending saved the episode, leading viewers to believe the mostly average episode had been so average on purpose in order to hit them with a falcon punch at the end - it was the best ending to an opening episode I've seen. I was left eager to see more of the cast and the events that lead up to the finale of the first episode. After the 'What the fuck!?' ending, I had hoped the next episode would delve into the past of who I assumed to be the main character, going back to the very beginning of the events that lead up to his and his friends deaths. There had been more than enough flashbacks in the first episode to suggest that would be the case. But that wasn't what happened: episode 2 presented the viewers with an all new cast of generic characters, this cast being lead by a sword wielding school girl (very original). It ended up being even more inferior to the pre-ending sections of the first episode; it only offered completely uninteresting characters and poor to decent action sequences. The third episode did manage to repair the damage a little by giving the series some back-story, with the relationship between the two sword wielding 'sisters' getting explained in detail, starting from the time they first met each other. It was a nice change of pace from the mindless action that had been shoved down my throat prior to the episode. But seeing a nice little story about how two female characters bonded (no, not like that - perv :/) and become close wasn't enough to make me forget most of the first episode and all of the second...and anyway, I know the boring action is likely to resume in episode 4. I'm going to watch the 4th episode later. If it doesn't make me want to see what happens in the 5th then it's going to be the second winter anime dropped by me. |
| Now that that's out of the way, let's get back on track with seeing Yomi killing more people. :] |
   |
| This anime can only make the manga even better. Rather than Yomi being your typical 'badguy' of the arc, we can actually see her being fleshed out. She played an integral part on how Kagura develops as a character and the production team definitely made the right choice of delving into this! Have high hopes for this, just sad that Kagura isn't as cute ='( @aionic Read the manga...this is called a prequel for a reason. |
| That was a really good episode, the ED is very nice as well. Can't wait for more. |

| It seems I was right. They tried to blend us after the end of episode 1 and lead us to a false believe in episode 2. It wasn't really cleared in episode 3, but after they went through so much trouble to explain those two characters to us it seems pretty obvious who the main characters in this show are. Anyway, necessary episode. It was fairly interesting and the first few notes of the Ending (I believe it will actually be used as the Opening of this show from now on) blew me totally away. Great stuff. |
   |
| Interesting episode. Yomi is great. And the ending song was awesome. |
