I loved this!

OP rocks
Interesting main protagonist
Demons have dual forms
Beautiful art
Harry Potter music
and this kinds reminds me of Tactics - so not bad

Shame that it will only have 24 episodes :(

I was really sceptical, but I really liked Episode 1 !

And it has the potential to get very awesome, imo ! ^^

^.^

The way they did this episode actually played to all my weaknesses; i loved it. I had put it off for a few days because i didn't think it would be this good. Of course if it becomes like a true shounen then that will change fast. I was interested in Fairy tale, not as much, but i dropped it very fast... And i can't stand dropping things >.<

I don't really need to see him go bad ass, though it is welcome, i just care about the interactions of the characters. I think they pulled off all the stops in the first episode. Might be hard to keep it up. Plus Kana <3.

Episode was ok,That guy that with gramps seems shady.

This show gives me a feel of inuyasha with a mix of harry potter

Pretty decent first ep. Kind generic shounen, but that's what I expected. Still, it's got plenty of potential. Will be sticking around a while.

It's always the big 3 and Reborn who are dominating the shounen anime but now some of the other works of WSJ are getting animated which is a good change. NuraMago, Bakuman(where I learned about NuraMago. They mentioned it was a good oneshot turned manga), which is airing this Fall and the recent announcement of Beelzebub getting an adaptation. Now if only Psyren could get an adaptation, I would be a really happy fan ^_^
You mean the Big 3, Reborn and Gintama :P. Also, the announcement for Beelzebub is only an OVA, unless there has been another announcement...

awesome beelzebub becoming an anime ^_^ hope it's a series and not only an OVA

I personally liked it. It makes me want to know what happened four years ago and what happens next. I hope that Rikuo isn't a flop as a character. His demon self seems cool, but his human self... well he's just average so far. I hope that the pacing isn't too slow as there's only 24 episodes, usually shounen are really long.

Guess it was pretty entertaining, but it doesn't really make any sense.

Wait, what am I saying? Shounen never makes sense.

It started like typical shōnen. I hope soon will be more action.

Yuki-Onna in human form is kawaii :D

in this episode, you will die horribly... *laughs just as shion*

A relaxing one... Somehow it's nice to watch it on a quiet evening(which I did...)
Anyway, finally one of my fave WSJ manga is now an anime...
The episode is a bit laid back and I liked it...
Looking forward to the next one... This is one of those anime that starts out slow I guess...

Not great but I enjoyed it which considering I almost didn't bother watching this ain't too shabby. I thought it was fine as a first episode, sets up the clan and Nura's current situations well. Nura's running himself ragged to try and avoid the spirits was pretty funny. I"m a little disappointed we didn't get to see his night version again but his power being unleashed to protect someone would be a little predictable, maybe it'll be done in a more interesting way later on.

Average episode, nothing interesting but I like Yuki Onna:D The character designs, especially their eyes, looks like Vampire Knight which pisses me off. But it was an interesting anime, never read the manga, like the OP, ED is okay. Looking forward to next episode.

It looks good..Not great..I pointed 2 things..Firstly, Nura's voice in his yokai form is exactly like Lelouch's and that's why i love it!!Secondly, the music reminded me of harry potter!!

I wasn't expecting this to be too good, but I rather enjoyed it. It's very simple overall, but it has a good set up for a lot of possibilities. The character designs were all interesting--they reminded me of xxxHolic and Natsume Yuujinchou, though I suppose that shouldn't be a surprise, considering they're youkai and whatnot.
I'm curious to learn more about the main character and his two halves. I didn't feel I got much personality from either in this episode, but it may just take a bit more time to see. First ep was mostly just plot setup after all.
Gonna keep watching, and hope for the best. I usually don't care for fighter shounens, but maybe this will be one with decent pacing and a strong plot? (crosses fingers)

Also, I LAWL'D for the ending theme. Wasn't expecting chibi singing. XP

Finally I like where they start the story, because the earliest chapters were kinda boring!

Anyway this is freaking scary household!

No way that manga need a good animation, 24 episodes won't do I mean to get into the good part we need at least 60 episodes if the cut all the useless part and go right into actions!

Hm, have yet to figure out whether I like this or not..
Definitely not fond of rikuo's "normal"(human) chara-design.. why didn't they make something more.. special/better looking? :| he's also so young .. :/
will probably leave this on-hold.. i might just read the manga ^^

edit: totally forgot to add, nice voice actors though!

I'm surprised on how much different it became.

The 1st episode skips on the first chapter completely.
Fine by me, but the voices seem miscasted as well. Not to mention Tsurara was relegated to a supportive character rather than main, while Kana just stealed a main character position.

I can't let my favoritism win over me, but still, quite the weak start.

“I just wanna be an average human” “I just wanna live my life as a normal human”
I have to say, it's getting kinda old. I guess maybe if he already had dreams he wants to follow it wouldn’t bother me so much, but saying he JUST wants to be AVERAGE, that he JUST wants to be NORMAL makes it sound like he has no hopes, dreams or ambition. It's almost like he's saying he just wants to float along through the system all his life and eventually fade away.

Sorry about that I guess mid rant I started ranting about all the main characters I've seen in anime over the years, but seriously though when are these guys gonna start showing some balls (metaphorically speaking).
I like Hentai, you like real life.
Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me.
