tezann_t said: Not "again" -- that hasn't happened yet, the himegami has only been possessing Izumiko, not manifesting herself.But the himegami says to never allow her to come into existence again? |

AshLily said: Wow, the Soudas are powerful. I liked the Miyuki/Izumiko moments. Masumi was pretty awesome, I like how he kept slapping that Takayanagi guy. That's what you get for unnecessarily hurting others. But man, I felt a little trolled. I thought Masumi was a girl lol. But he's still a cool brother :) Also, I didn't expect to hear that rockish bgm in the beginning. I liked it. I love Miyuki and Izumiko moments...that last part where Miyuki blushed was adorable! I'm liking this more and more. I want to know what's up with that himegami. |
 |
| kinda a mysterious ending, kinda lookin forward to the next episode. Also im liking the romance development. |
nyansensei said: sure.But is he a boy or a girl? nyansensei said: didn't seem necessary to me.When he gets 'called out' does he have to possess someone in order to come out? nyansensei said: Well, Masumi IS a powerful spirit - I assumed Masumi took whatever form felt most appropriate at the moment.We see him wearing a girl's uniform, then he changes to a male look when taking out Takayanagi, but then he reverts back to a female look when he's watching Mayura sleep. So exactly what is happening here? nyansensei said: And you *trust* what Yukimasa says? ;)Didnt Yukimasa just say that they need people in contact with gods so that the earth WON'T get rid of humanity? |
|
| Great episode. She looks better without braids or long bangs. |
 |
| loved the way Masumi slaps ppl |
 |
| I feel like this anime doesn't explain much and just throws it all at us expecting that we'll pick it up. There are a lot of things left unexplained in my opinion and I think I'd be liking this anime more if it elaborated on them. Somehow I can't bring myself to drop this despite how disconnected I feel and bored at times, I'm overall somehow enjoying it. The art is unique and nice and so is the story. Though I can't say I really like any of the characters simply because of the lack of development. I hope I can get into it more. |
| I love that multiple slap scene.. haha.. He really deserves it. |
| expecting tragedy now ;_; really enjoying this series |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
nyansensei said: Basically Masumi is a boy but apparently likes to cross-dress. From what we see, he clearly does not need to possess anybody or anything to come out. And since he is not human, I think he can change his appearance at will which is why he can look all male when he fights Takayanagi but in the next moment has that cross-dressed look with long hair. Saying I was confused would be an exaggeration. First of all, exactly who is the third Souda sibling? We know they're triplets, Masumi died, and apparently the other two can bring Masumi back from time to time? (Since we know he's not human). But is he a boy or a girl? When he gets 'called out' does he have to possess someone in order to come out? We see him wearing a girl's uniform, then he changes to a male look when taking out Takayanagi, but then he reverts back to a female look when he's watching Mayura sleep. So exactly what is happening here? nyansensei said: That voice of god is the same as the one by Himegami in an early episode though. Here I think you get confused because you expect when a god possesses someone he/she will change the clothes which are worn by the person he/she possesses, but that is not the case. The person will still wear the same clothes before she is possessed, and because she is wearing the clothes that the former student council asks her to wear to perform the dance, she is still wearing that when she is possessed by Himegami. Near the end, when Izumiko is possessed again, I get the feeling she's possessed by another god, not the Himegami, since if she was possessed by the Himegami wouldn't she be wearing the same kimono we saw last time as well as a similar voice? nyansensei said: This is something for us all to ponder about. The thing is it looks contradictory but it is also possible that both sides are right. It all depends on who this Himegami is and what gods (bear in mind "gods" is in plural form) Yukimasa has in mind.And, wait a minute, this god tells Mizuki not to let Izumiko become the next Himegami otherwise the earth will get rid of humanity? Didnt Yukimasa just say that they need people in contact with gods so that the earth WON'T get rid of humanity? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| ok,this is slowly becoming epic. |
 |
| I'm kind of sad to see the low score on this show, since I'm actually really quite enjoying it. I love the serene atmosphere mixed in with moments of tension, and I love watching the spell scenes. I'm also really liking how the characters are developing, and the way the romance is being integrated into everything feels subtle but effective. This show's sense of subtlety is really a nice element, including in the way it handles plot twists. My one real complaint about this show so far is that we often just get tossed into situations with too little explanation and almost no material to infer from. I'm not sure why it's done this way, but I feel like we're expected to just accept everything that happens and how they happen. But honestly, that has really deterred the series from doing some really good world-building. I wish they could've gone more into the mechanics of the spells and building up the world in which the characters are in. I guess this flaw is what's preventing me from thinking that this show could be something truly great, but I still enjoy it very much nonetheless. |
| The third twin, Masumi, isn't a girl? And what the! Izumiko must not become the goddess!? :O |
eminagnam said: I would hesitate to call the second manifestation of Himegami as "filler" though.It felt like a filler. Not much developed. |

| That.Last.Scene. |
 |
| I felt every single one of those slaps. |
 |
| :I awe that was really pretty/cute the slapping scene was really weird tho XD |
 |
KingCez said: expecting tragedy now ;_; I kinda feel that way too. The end of the opening credits as she fades out while smiling and crying seems really similar to the way Nagisa fades out in the Clannad after story credits. Im liking this show as well. Hoping Miyuki and Izumiko have a happy end. |

| Guys, I'm calling it now but my guess: Something/someone is going to try and trigger Izumiko's transformation (probably Yukimasa) and the way to stop her transformation is connected to her hair. They mentioned how hair holds "spiritual power" and she hasn't cut it since birth (besides her bangs which triggered her transformation) and her hair always comes down when she is being possessed so my guess is there will be a Tangled like ending where in the heat of the moment someone will cut her hair preventing her ability to channel the Himegami thus saving the world etc etc. I'm actually kind of hoping it's not this ending and that all of the hints given thus far are red herrings (I adore surprises but have a knack for predictions, go figure) but even in the first episode Izumiko mentioned how she wanted short hair like her friend's and her friend said she'd take her to a hair dresser and that didn't happen. |
| Lol at the twin trap and Myuki going tsundere. It was a good episode though. Unlike others, I can't sense the tragedy at all... I guess I can't read the atmosphere well, lol. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
eminagnam said: Won't call the second manifestation of Himegami announcing her reappearance can destroy the world as filler though.It was cheesy. Just a filler episode. |

| For me it was boring. |

| I can not believe it! O_O It's a boy ... Another episode that I enjoyed the story and the plot, the main character made up and very pretty, but I can not stand to see her already wagging his tail behind the protagonist! Wait a bit, even if there are only 12 episodes! LOL Screenplay great, beautiful character design! |
 |
| I still don't like Miyuki or Yukimusa, but when the Himegami said to not let her come back caught my interest, so I think I'll continue watching. |
| So correct me if i'm wrong, the spirit divine, Masumi, is actually the spirit of Mayura and Manatsu's third triplet brother? I like him, he is nice and funny. For a second there I was going to say that Miyuki was actually nice this episode, but I was only halfway, then not a minute later he is a jerk to Izumiko again. I was like of course. I don't like this "romantic" development that users before me are mentioning. I don't like him for Izumiko. I rather her be with the Souda brother. Mayura barely appeared this episode :/. The goddess appeared once more and told Miyuki to not let Izumiko develop her goddess powers or something...to let humans perish. whaaaa 0.o? |
 |
| Best Episode until now. The fight was interesting. |
 |
| I thought this episode was pretty interesting and entertaining. And that was cuteness overload at the end! |

HidoiSan said: I do have a feeling that when people feel bored they start to use the "filler" word which is the wrong usage. Whether it is a filler should be easy to determine - take the whole episode out of the series and see if the anime still makes sense in terms of story, character development and introduction or departure of character. This episode clearly does not fit that definition. It is not just an opinion but fact.eminagnam said: oh? but it wasn't a filler... fillers would be defined as "episodes that were not part of the original story line, and serve NO PURPOSE in furthering the main story line"symbv said: To you, it was not a filler.

XD it's 2:30 AM here and I couldn't stop laughing well let's just leave it at that... before the fire spreads further :D |
...if you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear... |
| Apart from the end, very boring episode. New characters coming and going and I am really not sure who has what intentions now, the situation is not very transparent right now. |

| Another great episode. I'm really enjoying this show. Doubly so since it doesn't seem that there are any shows to watch each week from Sunday afternoon until this comes out. While the show is still simmering, I like how it doesn't waste any frames. Characters interact for a reason. Our two leads are babes in a dark wood where there appear to be many agendas. Events are being pushed along relentlessly. And of course, the special guest appearance on the dance floor made for a riveting scene. I wonder if Hayami Saori does both voices. Wonderful artwork after the ED. I think the artists did a masterful job of capturing the light from the lowering sun after the rain. It made it easier for Sagara to finally react to Izumiko, to literally see her in a new light. Scenes like this, or the one on the dance floor reinforce my decision to resist watching the web editions. |
| This show continues to amaze me. a) because I love Mel Kishida's art style to pieces b) because I really like Izumiko (even more now without them glasses) c) because the whole atmosphere... tension, maybe a bit of foreboding d) the romance seems nice (Miyuki turned from a Jerk into a Tsundere XD) Also, about the scene where the Himegame appeared: Izumiko looked not good with makeup at all. But when she switched over into himegami mode, it looked actually appropriate on her. Also, Izumiko DID look beautiful when she turned around in the end (when Miyuki mentioned her lips being red. Looks like he was struck by moe, too ^^) EDIT: no matter how much I want to see how the story unfolds, watching this beautiful anime in preair-quality is not a crime but a sin IMO |

| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Great ep , deserved the wait :D |
 |
| Izumiko is really beautiful without her glasses and her hair down. She should let it be like that. She's like a princess But then again, she'll attract a lot of guys wherever she goes. Ang Sagara will have more rivals. lol |
| Pretty good episode, I'm really starting to like this. Every episode has this "The First X" title, I wonder if something bad will be inserted there eventually. The plot has potential and it looks like there'll be romance too. But how will they do all of that in just 7 more episodes? VictorVonDoom said: Suzuhara looked ridiculous with that makeup on. Yep. |
