| Yandere Eiko all the way. She wants to keep the curse for the sake of their ties? Keitaro can't escape her anymore. He has no idea. Well, it's not like he hates it. Now he's willing to go as far as to go along with Yayoi's supernatural schemes. |
 |
| That smile at the end, it did things to me lmao |
 |
| I thought this was a nice episode especially for Kei. It's about time he got to man up and face the reality of his situation. He's resolve to remove their curse and save Eiko even if they're not family member was a nice touch. |
MaroMangas623 said: I think the emotional / feels good part is adapted well but as usual the horror part adapted very lackluster. I really liked this episode and it was adapted really well. I have to commend the guys at OLM for adapting practically 84 pages of the 2 chapters of today's episode into a singular episode |
| there's more relationship progress in this single episode than there is over multiple seasons of most romance anime. |

CrimsonTome said: oh that makes sense if one thinks about how she likes it when kei saves her from ghosts and stuff.TsutanaiFuun said: this one was at least a little creepy at times. ep 5 was nothing on the horror or creepy scale. they put a little suicide thingy and that's it. is that supposed to make it creepy or disturbing? eiko's reaction at the end was too over the top lol. nice that they confessed though. Taking into account How Eiko is, her reaction makes sense. She is feeling exilarated now that Keitarou confessed his love for her and that he will dive into the supernatural world. As for episode 5, it depends from person to person. Suicide is a delicate and morbid topic for a lot of people, plus, the story of the complex in the anime was actually based on a real event. Search for Takashimadaira House Complex and you'll see that more than 130 suicides took place there. i didn't know that the ep 5 matter was based on rea life. will look up some more about it. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |

Mr_Fudgee said: Eiko defintely pulled the strings. Good luck Kei, my boy. This one has ALL the screws loose. Fr bro... I won't be surprised if she's the reason that Yayoi's parents die. |

| Get away from that girl Kei-kun she's a thrill seeking hedonist and she's planning on dragging you. |
Undefeated Bahamut |
| I am really curious now whether or not Eiko's personality is being influenced by the ghost/curse. Its kind of hard to tell, but one things for sure is that her obsession of Kei is on the abnormal side. |
 |
| Burst out laughing in that scene lmao. Can't wait see the many faces of Eiko |
 |
| I wonder if the scene with Eiko in the water and Kei on the shore means she´s already part of the "other side"? Since water is commonly used for the "world of the other side". And when Kei got dragged into the water, he showed that he is now willing to get involved with "them". ...Or maybe I just overthinking it. |
|
| This episode was slightly hard to follow with the whole plan bit being so complicated sounding how it was presented even though it wasnt that tricky. Didn't expect a mutual confession there. I called it before about Eiko having set up Keitaro to tutor Yayoi. I usually don't like yanderes where I could feel they could be waifu material since a lot of them are abusive in dynamic but I feel like Eiko wouldn't be so bad, she hasn't tried to restrict any of Keitaro's actions or anything at least so far she just is intense in how she feels and has been privacy invasive out of concern. A little creepy cant hurt. I sort of like the thought of being the object of over the top romantic feelings (when reciprocated) even if it can get scary at times since isn't love scary already? |

| The more we progress on this , the more idk what Eiko's intentions are. She's more sus than ever this episode, im having a feeling that she's some kind of spirit or something |
They can't end it with wholesome huh? I mean.. Yayoi becomes my fav character in this series, she really doesn't play around when it comes to those evil spirits.  |
| Eiko has got to be the cutest and most wholesome yandere i've ever seen, on one hand she is bat shit crazy and on the other she's very cute, that confession scene was so wholesome and cute. |
| Oh hell no. Yandere Eiko!! |

Like when you confess successfully with someone you're in love with, when you get back home, wouldn't you secretly become a bit crazy/ stupid/ possessive when there's no-one watching you? |
| Getting kinda episodic/repetitive now. Hopefully it'll get broken up a bit. I guess at least there is some development going on with the unrequited stalkerlove from Eiko. |
| . |
| Finally, they express their feeling :) |

| Bitch is pyscho af! |
 |
| I accept this kind of yandere. Anything but the one who filled with bloodlust to anyone but the MC without caring about MC's opinions or feelings.. |
 |
| That was okay; hopefully the show shakes this new habit of rushing the ghost battles and explanations. I am happy it finally had Eiko and Keitaro admit their feelings for each other, though I'm not sure Keitaro understands what it means to have a girlfriend. Hopefully Dark Gathering actually goes deeper into their relationship and doesn't just leave it superficial. Then I'll proclaim victory for it; though it's true anime can take forever to allow any relationship progress at all, such that the mutual confession we just got almost never happens only six episodes in, that's not really that great of an achievement. And it may be that Dark Gathering actually obliges, because it's putting effort into having Keitaro think about conducting his life in ways that consider Eiko. Meanwhile, Eiko is taking a page out of Francis Bacon's Novum Organum and planning on applying scientific torture to the supernatural. This actually explains a great deal: Eiko is a scientist—and not the sterile, mechanical Commander Spock kind, but the passionate, crazed Faust kind. And this kind is truer to what science really is than the Spock kind. So fine, we get more yandere Eiko smile; this time we got her crazy science speech, which is what I'm looking for: If I were in an anime I'd be the kind of character asking my boyfriend if we could cross the river Styx, hand in hand, so we could disembowel supernature and study its innards. |
| I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour and who then asks: Am I then a cheat? – for he wants to perish. |
| Kei got a bonus out of this adventure - he got to change Eiko out of her wet clothes and she didn't remember anything, other than some "familiar warmth"... LOL |
| ohhh noooo lol EIKO got her boy in one of the most cursed wholesome confessions now look forward to seeing how more insanely happy she will get |
 |
| Leave it to Eiko to take a nice confession and make it fucked up |
| Eiko's yandere face gets me everytime. I hope she doesn't purposefully ruin chances at surviving the curse just to be with him longer in this afflicted state. |
| While it's nice that both Eiko and Keitaro have feelings for each other I can't help but ponder if Eiko will do something that ends up being worse than the curse that has already affected the both of them, hopefully not. On that note I'm not sure if even Yayoi realizes that Eiko has set everything up between the 3 of them. Anyways, Yayoi's knowledge of the supernatural is uncanny but Eiko... (that girl is crazy). |
| The 2 of them being together was quite cute but eiko's obsession with keitaro is on another level. |
 |
| wait where was one of the best openings this season |

Embient said: This contradict what she says later on though if we go by what you're saying. I don't know if that is an error or not. It's clear to everyone here she gets off on danger and pretty loves this whole situation and conflict because she gets to be with Kei-kun. Yes, I know she is a Yandere but it is clear she is just using this situation to keep themselves together. It's a very unorthodox approach if you ask me but this woman is good at putting on a show. Eiko actually said "lovers' suicide" at the start. Hidive man. Aahh man, I was hoping for a confession there. Oh well. 12:07 ooof that must've really hurt. With a rope like that. Interesting, so Yayoi sees spirits with her eyes, but Keitaro has a sort of sixth sense for them. 15:44 "Omiki (お神酒) is an offering of sake or other alcoholic drinks offered to gods in Japanese Shinto." CONFESSION WOOO LET'S GOOO what is eiko planning to do with him now 21:37 Ooohhh she said "tsukamaeta" here which can mean "to catch; to capture; to arrest; to seize; to restrain" Yandere be yandering. 22:08 animation error lol 22:56 So she wasn't lying at the start of the episode damn 23:11 This animation tho Really good episode! |
| I got a Masters degree. I don't have to worry bout school anymore. |
| damn! Yayoi is really on a different league! once she gets to be an adult, and maintain her wicked spirits stuff, she could be well-off a grandmaster exorcist! 5/5. |
 |
| Keitaro got to wake up and realize that he has been manipulated the entire time. |
