| Really enjoyed this episode. Plot progression is nice, though it's just creating more questions at this point. Great moment at the end between Zakuro and Agemaki. That embrace was very nice and was exactly what he should've done at that moment. And the post-bath Zakuro look is the best! |
 |
| so, the guy (agemaki) is the dense one of the pair, huh.. for some reason he's got the tamaki aura...without the i'm king attitude.. :)) |

prismheart said: Good, we have a bad guy (or girl). I like how Zakuro opens up a bit to Agemaki, let's hope that improves. Ah, I agree I hope it does too [: |
shanimebib said: Jigoku-n3ko said: Take note, crappy shojo producers, this is what a GOOD story with LIKEABLE characters and BELIEVABLE relationship progress looks like. I guess you have to be able to write shitload of Yaoi to actually come up with a good romance anime in the later stage of your career. at least thats how the story goes for Hoshino Lily. I dont recommend though, since yaoi/yuri/shounen ai/shoujo ai are all shit to me. Yaoi was all she did in her life. and not a single one was animated. Otome Youkai Zakuro was her first Seinen creation and the only original work converted to anime. good thing is that her current ongoings Yumemiru Koto and Heart Tsuranuite have more natural romance, i mean between opposite genders. she never wrote a story where there has been a female protagonist before these. ironically. Good to know that Lily has kept writing Seinen, as she appears to be quite good at it! I find it interesting that so many people think this is Shojo based on the art style. The story telling is firmly in the Seinen camp, not to mention where the manga is published. Evidently Seinen romance is frequently mistaken for shojo... It is only a little bit embarassing that many of the shows I love the most are ones that people think are aimed at my daughter when I describe them. But, then again, I am a sucker for romance. As for this episode. Best.Episode.Yet! The hug at the end... PRICELESS! The tension and the action, breathless! For those that thought the Black Widow was dead, pay attention! Villains don't disappear laughing when they are dying! (Though Zakuro did give her quite a scar!) I love this show, and if this is actually in volume 3 of the manga, it looks like they might be completing the currently available source material in 13 episodes. That is OK, as long as they put together another season when Lily has volumes 6-10 done! I can wait for something this special! (It might even mean a new OP from Sphere! I can listen to Aki-chan's voice all day every day!) |

mizsphinx said: Zakuro is what a perfect tsundere character should be. I enjoy how she shows her soft, emotional side now and again and that it's not always 'rawr rawr I'm angry, I'm a bitch rawr rawr!!!' And Agemaki is so good for her...and Riken and Susukihotaru are a perfect match as well. This episode was very enjoyable, especially the new half-spirits. I hope they'll be able to free themselves as I'm sure they desire... Can't wait for episode 9! Yeah she's really a very nice tsundere and i also felt sorry for that half spirit with the tattoos, she seems to be kind of a prisoner to that evil woman for the sake of her sister. That's why Susukihotaru probably felt that pain. That couples in this show are all lovely and now we just have to learn why are they after Zakuro and what is it about her that makes her special. Btw Zakuro should really leave her hair more loose, it seems every time we see her with a different more loose hair style than the usual she looks even prettier. In the end quite a good episode and it was nice that they managed to combine plot advancement with romance advancement at the same time. that white fox and the elephant know the truth about Zakuro but they ain't talking, they are starting to get on my nerves. |
zensunni said: Yeah this episode happens for most of vol. 3, up until nearly the end. I said the same for Kuragehime (which as a similar situation to Otome Youkai Zakuro) but your option of them completing the current stuff in this season and making a new season when more manga comes out would be ideal.Good to know that Lily has kept writing Seinen, as she appears to be quite good at it!

helur said: Plot movement for the win. This time they incorporated it with the development between the couples. Riken's hug was overshadowed and short so Zakuro stole all the spotlight this episode. The fight animation wasn't bad for a romance. I guess it is suspected that the humans are worthless, hell Hotaru even refused his noble sacrafice. The good part is that they try to be as helpful as they can. (Very Good 8/10) Agreed. As much as I'm enjoying the romance, I'm glad that the plot is starting to pick up as well. |
 |
| Well, I won't say it was a great episode like the previous 4-5 episodes, but it was just as interesting as them for the most part. The battle scene could have been executed better. But the emotion was definitely there. Looking forward to the next! |
| I really liked this episode. I seriously love Riken-sama. I liked how it switched the pairings because up to now there hasn't been much interaction between the characters outside of the pairings. I want to see more of Ganryuu and the twins. Riken and Susukihotaru's ED is my favorite of the three. |
| Everything about this show is looooovvveeeeee |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| I like how they shook up the pairings a bit this episode. Shows how much progress everyone's made, even Agemaki X Zakuro. And like everyone else I'm glad the plot is moving forward bit by bit. I also liked the seeing the Spirits pull rank on each other. Ha! Very good episode.  |
 |
| Lady Rangui, so evil, yet so... |
| Zakuro to the rescue again =D i want to know more about these new half-demon sisters... Riken and Susukihotaru would make such a cute couple ^^ |
 |
| Oo, shit got real this episode and loved that epic embrace by ours truly |
 |
| I like a show good strong female characters, but why are all the males (except for the big guy) just plain useless? Aren't they also suppose to be soldiers? |

TonyC1994 said: I like a show good strong female characters, but why are all the males (except for the big guy) just plain useless? Aren't they also suppose to be soldiers? More like cadets, but yeah, that's Zakuro's point in the beginning of this ep :) My money is on our friendly Lt.H for a masked man... Zakuro is one adorable tsundere. I usualy don't like them much, except for comedy. Here I see a complicated, but good-natured maiden that fortunately had found a gentleman like Agemaki who can give her security she needs for her dere side to blossom, doesn't realy tastes cliche. I like how relationships here don't have complications but have emotional depth and sincerity. The plot comes dangerously close to being flat, however. I hope we do not have a villain simply for the sake of having one and for the drama it can bring. I have same sentiment for battles in Zakuro. It's good they don't make a filer of it or make it a focus point for an episode and steal from romance, so far so good. Two epic hugs in this episode, and twins are also given some attention - nice!

No good leaving Zakuro and Riken lonely, yes? :] sakR9 said: Maskonna said: Am I the only one who's into Susukihotaru x Agemaki ><.. I love them too!! And Riken and Zakuro :D Hahaha~ That would be bizarre, you know :D GintokiSan said: Woah the cellar and fresh air was literally 1 step away... so after waiting for the cellar to flood, they could have just got out of there in under 30 secs? vucubcaquix said: I wonder about that, because if the force of the water is strong enough, it could very well have knocked them back hard enough to get knocked out. Drowning then becomes a very real possibility. Yeah, they could swim out as soon it was flooded and the door was out of the way but the initial wave could hit them hard with debris. Agemaki may be fine with that but Susukihotaru is rather delicate girl. PookxSumire said: loved the scene of zakuro and agemaki face to face after saving em, followed by the last part This. ArcticMech said: And the post-bath Zakuro look is the best! And this. P.S. This show is so beautiful it can make me cry. |
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| Ahhh that Zakuro-Agemaki moment made me squee! Just hook up already damn it. |

Maskonna said: Am I the only one who's into Susukihotaru x Agemaki ><.. I thought it was just me!! I ship them too x) I like Zakuro x Agemaki and I don't particulary like but I see the point of Susukihotaru x Riken, but I definitely prefer Susukihotaru x Agemaki!! (and in bonus I love their VA so it's fun to see them together and it increases the shipping) I usually don't like characters like Riken, and since I really like Susukihotaru I don't like their couple at all... but I love the song they sing together in the ending! + I'm a huge fan of character crossovers so I loved this episode!!! |
