Still cliche, but significantly better than the previous three episodes. Looks like the gap between Benio and Rokuro is becoming smaller already.

They worked as team in the manga and they also skipped a full out Benio blush :(

Nice episode, I liked how the relationship between Rokuro and Ryogo was portrayed. Didn't think he would ask Benio for help giving his character but nice moment there as well.
Happy that the fox pet thing was not shown this episode, but still hearing and knowing it is there annoys me.

I was hoping there would be more development with Benio and Rokuro since it's only 12 episodes but there hasn't been much yet. I mean she saw some greatness in him, and Rakuro bought her some food but she never thanked him for that.

Pretty Cliche episode but I still enjoyed it

it was a good episode overall. not really something great compare to the previous episode imo but i can say this episode was good. The relationship between Rokuro and Ryogo somewhat didn't hit me or interest me. maybe because it's a cliche (?)
but DAMN! that creppy creature with two head scare the hell out of me. something like jumpscare i guess (?) seriously, i got scared AF.
the fight was still very good as always imo. glad to see Rokuro fight again.
Next time the headphone guy will appear, looking foward for that one :D

Nice seeing some interaction between Rokuro and Ryogo. The episode was stereotypical, but was entertaining and the fights against the Kegares are good. On another note, young Ryougo looked similar to Gon.

They added a bunch of stuff that wasn't in the manga between last episode and this one, but so far they have all been good additions. (except the mascot). Although... who the hell is the red haired guy in the episode preview? I don't recognize him from the manga...

He first appear in the middle of the 17 chapter and he is relevant in the manga current arc. I dunno why he gonna appear next week, he also appeared in the episode last week after the ed sequence.

this episode was kinda lame, enjoyed the first two episodes much more
"My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where the villas are, and i am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and i get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but i occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get 8 hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last checkup."

I did not enjoy this episode.

There are reasons why manga are adapted into an anime and i would like to believe it's because of its relate-able characters, strong likability and of course a good and compelling story NOT FOR FOR HOW MUCH THEY MAKE IN SALES because it was like this there would be a lot of novels that make way more than this that would've been given the green flag for an adaptation.

As much as I had hoped that they would stick to the content with a few minor changes would be acceptable it seems its already the 4th episode and they're trying to cram what they can for character development by rushing the show.
'
I do hope that these huge changes, at least by the time the anime stops airing would make use of the time they had to justify the changes they've made.

OH one more thing Rokuro was so much more cooler in the manga for this scene than in the anime as he was made to seem inferior and requiring assistance from Benio to fight. Even though they fought side by side Benio seemed more put together than him as he looked like he was lacking in the fighting skills department.

They've adapted 3 chapters and we're already being introduced Shimon in the preview and he was a foreground character in the previous episode.

He's making his entrance before Seigen that for me sealed it as rushing it.

No it isn't. The director is just rearranging scenes like he did with Mayura. He mentioned it before in an interview that he wants to introduce the 12 heavenly commanders sooner then the manga. So the battle with Kamui, Seigen and all that stuff will happen after Simon's introduction is done next episode.

Completely ignored by the director. You don't have to be a literary genious to write a script but a good script needs to at least understand the basics. I really enjoy the manga and I want to enjoy the anime just as much and when it's just only 4 episodes in and for some scenes that are being butchered because of director's interference I can only hope that his direction is good for what he have to work with.

Feels like the MC was a little inconsistent this episode. For him to just immediately go begging for help and stating he's scared feels like a huge jump from previous episodes. I suppose it's justifiable with all the given past story, but it's a big leap nonetheless. I'm thinking they just had to brute force the relationship along.

In the actual fight they barely made the situation dire enough for Benio to be there. Yes they showed him getting swarmed, but 99% of the time that's when we see the hero buried under a mountain of baddies and then, BOOM!, they all go flying.

Still a fairly good show. Will keep watching. Head Exorcist still needs a few teeth knocked out for whole testing thing in ep2 though. Still kinda pisses me off.

Yeah but if you read above this shimon guy next week doesn't get introduced until chapter 17 if only 4 chapters are adapted either they are re arranging the materials or trying to cram in two arcs or more story than they can handle next week can really make or break the show.

I guess if the director really is rearranging the series it's really ruining it for manga readers who have read ahead which is why I'm pausing the manga until the anime is over cus I don't want to ruin the anime cus so far I had read up to chapter 6 but the anime keeps leaving a bad taste in my mouth and I can see I'm not the only one although for a one cour it does seem to make sense to indroduce characters early or not at all other wise you get a major character showing up last episode and everyone's left curious or wanting more that's why long running anime work best even 2 cour could pull it off

Weakest episode by far. One thing I did like about this episode was Benio coming to understand Rokuro and revealed that she respects him if even the littlest. Then it was ruined with them going back to their usual routine. I absolute hate that this happened here, especially because this is not a comedy. I guess childish banter is a part of their relationship, eh.

Even if the story is not mainly a comedy, it's still supposed to be somewhat a romcom among other genres; not to mention that Sukeno's previous work was a comedy....he probably didn't want to let go of adding in humor in this story because of that.

SO far this anime has been an average Shounen for me. Compare to the other few episodes this one was lacking in story, I did enjoy the story about Ryougo but it wasn't that great. I am soo happy that stupid pet didn't show its face this episode, I just want to punch it.

I'm pretty sure it's just Shimon and Seigen. They haven't shown the designs of the other commanders.

Not really sure how they're going to integrate Shimon this early in the story though.

Scriptwriting isn't the job of a director and I don't see how his interference has butchered some scenes. I'd say it's quite the opposite and has improved some aspects of the story here such as improving Mayura's character by introducing her sooner and show her bond with Rokuro, making the relationship between Ryogo and Rokuro more impactful through the addition of anime original content and the subtle development between Benio and Rokuro by cutting some overreactions and unnatural dialogue.

Yes some addition are annoying like the fox but I just pretend it doesn't exist.

At the end of the day the director must accept the script that was given to him. Do i see some improvements? I can't say because its only 4 episodes but my own opinion is that they've changed a couple things that didn't need changing. I get that for a time frame and trying to wrap things up for 12 episodes there needs to be some changes but like i said previously I can only hope that this adaptation works.

There should be no reason at all why we should pretend that something doesn't exists when it clearly does. I'm looking at you fox spirit. I can't believe they sat around a table and came up with that idea.(I'm speculating though its probably what happened anyways)

Components for a good episode:
- Adapting the source material while expanding upon it, instead of diminishing it.
- Less talking, more fighting.
- Good interactions between characters.
- AND NO GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING FOX.

Seeing as how this episode actually did some of those things, I'd say this was a pretty good episode.
And yes, I meant that.

Haven't watched the episode yet but skimmed through it to see what was the same from the manga. It seems they adapted the rescue Ryougo arc pretty well for the most part (With a few added scenes) but next week they're introducing Shimon before even Kamui or Seigen!? Wow.

Now I'm convinced for sure we're getting more than 12 episodes. We haven't even done the "Basara" battle yet and we're already almost halfway through the supposed cour. According to the opening theme this should go up to at least the Yuto battle, and with the current pacing there is no way we're getting to that fight within 12 episodes (Even with re-arranged scenes and added content, there hasn't even been a full 5 chapters adapted).

;What can I say...At first, I thought that this was a generic anime too, but, after I went to the manga, bro, I love it!

So, give a chance to Sousei..u can read the manga (its better).
"[...]I have to admit I'm not a big anime fan. Most anime that makes it over here seems to be either about schoolgirls with supernatural powers who battle evil, or adolescent boys who - for some convoluted reason - wind up having to pilot big giant robots...although, today, you just need to put some boobs or harem and fantasy and it'll be 10/10."
