Why the hell is Kana jealous about Oikawa when she doesn't even want the human Rikuo?

Well originally she was jealous of Tsurara before she meet night Rikuo a second time. She might have psychic powers and know that they are the same person. *shrug*
So Grandpa is so terrifying he is invisible to those who are lesser than him. O.o

i have to say i didn't expect Kana to get her face licked... She is such a damsel in distress.

Having a crush on Night Rikuo doesn't stop her from still being interested in Drikuo.

Also, Kana and Tsurara naturally just don't like one another and consider themselves to be Love rivals. In anime it was downplayed, but Kana started throwing at Tsurara dirty looks ever since she noticed that Rikuo and Tsurara know one another.

Next is recap episode? Might have to drop this series in favor of better ones. This just confirms my theory that battle shounen should avoid being adapted in a half-assed way.

Honestly speaking, the voice acting and the animation suck really bad.

She laughed twice. Both times were epic XD

I could just hug tsurara for eternity. She must be one of the most cutest characters out there.
Thought NuraYura would be a little on the emo side but her character seems different from previous episodes.

Recap with details..hmmm...not that excited, though young Grandpa is hot XD

Actually it hasn't been confirmed that this is 24 episodes long, The Producers said if the TV Ratings are good they will make it one of the long series like Naruto with over hundreds of episodes, I am checking a TV Rating thing in Japan for Animation and Nurahyon is really high its around where Naruto and Reborn ratings are thats in the top 15.

Even though Tsurara was jealous of Kana and vice versa, the ending was quite Rikuoxkana...I didn't quite liked this little detail, but i really like how Tsurara wants to monopolize Rikuo for herself...
The rest of the episode was okay, but i really have expectations for this arc...

As much as I loved Tsurara's laugh, her flags, and the Tsurara vs Kana catfight, the one thing I loved more in this episode was Grandpa Nurarihyon being so badass. The change of color to black and white was a good effect. The music also blended in perfectly. Grandpa's face was so epic there. It exceeded my expectations there of that fight.
So this is where the concept of "fear" being used in combat was first seen. I really want this show to go to second season where it gets further developed. Oh how I wish...
And we also got introduced to the new enemies. It gets better and better now. Excellent episode.

But why will we get a recap next episode? And it's about Gyuki again? Wasn't his story done? But I guess I should have seen this coming. I had doubts how Shikoku arc will fit in the remaining episodes and recap eps are to be placed to make it fit. Let's get it over with. I hope there's something in store there that won't make it boring.

Nurarihyon's power does not really work this way but they did not explain the fight of fears yet, and that is but a tip of his power, he can do many other things too.

I want to see Matoi but I don't want them to animate the kyoto arc yet ._. . Hopefully they'll take their time for the inugami arc and do kyoto in a s2.
Since the first op was mostly about the gyuki's arc I hope that there will be a change op next episode or the one after.

I don't think they'll reach Kyoto arc here. There's barely enough episodes for that. And they really are taking their time, since next episode is a recap :|. Hopefully this is just one episode.

Oh yeah, it's time for OP change. Maybe that will determine the content of the second half of the show.

Me want Matoi too :<

annoying....pacing annoyed me again.
Stuff was covered but felt like barely anything is revealed yet again.

I'd forgive it if Rikuo was cool in the ep at all...but his whole reaction towards the end of the ep (first with the girls than with the new enemies) was a little on the weak side

His grandpa's fight didn't really wow me much either, though his interaction with Yura was kinda funny....

Gyuki's henchmen warming up to Rikuo a little was kinda "d'awwww" too

yes i already ask someone that can read japanese and it clearly says noto mamiko
at least we can hope for S2 because if there is anime in super jump anime tour that the manga/animeis popular maybe we need to wait until this fall to see what happen in super jump anime tour
anyway i think kyooto arc can be added in this season if this season isn't 24 episodes because tha manga(chp 123 chinese raw anyway i just want to see the story while waiting the english one) already entering climax for kyoto arc

Already 12 episodes in and I don't have much stuffs to watch on Sunday/Monday anyway. And it doesn't fail as hard as Fairy Tail anime. But just like you said, I really feel I'm wasting my time.....more so since I read the manga and like it better....

More episodes = lower budget. You can see they are saving budget on this one.

Hopefully the Beelzebub adaption will not fail...

all i can say is we're really not in the position to nag about the budget and about how they adapt it, we're just enjoying everything leisurely for FREE, if you have problems on how the anime looks, just drop it no prob, and let the others that appreciate it "like me" enjoy it. That's why i hate some manga readers who always compare everything if it gets an adaptation. The ANIME industry and the MANGA industry is different so don't expect everything to be the same. ^^

Me getting it for free =/= it can be bad and low budget. They are two totally unrelated matters.

As a reader of the original manga, I have to right to point out some flaws. I'm not saying the adaptation is 100% bad (I would have dropped already then). But I have a serious problem with the voice acting (human Rikuo by Fukuyama is really getting on my nerves) and the pacing.

There are good adaptations and bad ones. Obviously you have to compare them. If the adaptation fails, it fails (see Dance in the Vampire Bund for instance). Being an anime instead of manga is no justification for that. Someone who did not put many manga on their lists should not start judging others (general statement, not personal offense)

Like you said, go appreciate the series as much as you want. I'm not appreciating this series that much and I am stating my opinion. No one has to care about my opinions. This is a forum so it's free-for-all. So let's stop trolling each other :P

So just to confirm: Nurarihyon's power has something to do with invisibility and "fear", right? So the more scared of him you are, the less likely you are to see him? Or something like that?

Oh, I like this new head villain! Hopefully he sticks around for the rest of the show (I'd prefer a slow-burn showdown).

Wish Kana would just go away or something, she's really not adding to the story at all and all she does is fawn over Rikuo. (Well, I think the exact same about Yuki-Onna too, but at least she has some powers... although she's not very strong.) And surely they'd have to explain everything about the yokai to Kana by now? She's already seen too much.

You actually just fail to notice him. It is weaker then invisibility but the more advanced version of that ability (which unfortunately will not appear in first 24 episodes) is even more useful then ivnisibility could have been.

Wish Kana would just go away or something, she's really not adding to the story at all and all she does is fawn over Rikuo.


Unless the director adds some additional Kana scenes, you won't see much from her anymore. She gets as much screentime as those other two (breastier) girls from Kiyo Cross Squad.
