| 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... |

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. |
| Eh, just gonna read the manga. Seems like the best way to go with this series as opposed to watching it. Tired of the boredom but at least the soundtrack is good. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| 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. |

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. |

Rafaello_Myles said: It was an okay episode. I guess it was fun? I don't really know, I but I did enjoy it a bit. It's sort of funny to me......this person summed up the episode as well as I could have written. 6/10 |
 |
| I'm still in love with this series, glad to see Rokuro is starting to face his fears more now for the sake of protecting his friends/family. |
| Brotherly bond OMG T____T |
Cody said: 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. 2/5 |
 |
| Was overall enjoyable but the plot is Kind of lacking something interesting.. Also I find it Quite annoying how Rokuro always has to say her full Name when Adression "Adashino Benio".. 6/10 |
Chicken is love, chicken is life ~ ♥ |

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. orbbie said: I was going to mention this in my previous post so here it is. Beginning--middle--end.

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. |

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. |

| This is just a bromance episode it had good fields to it |
 |
| I've always felt that A6 pieces of paper were too cumbersome. Always running out of them just when you need them. |
| Aaaahhhhh that was a nice episode. I was actually considering dropping this anime. Just wasn't feeling it. But this episode made me happy -w- |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| It was better than the last episode for sure. This show just seems really generic so I'm going to drop it. |
| 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). |
 |
| Well, that was good, the battle that is. Overall, meh episode. |

MattKitsune96 said: It was better than the last episode for sure. This show just seems really generic so I'm going to drop it. ;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." |
| Pff this show feels very cliché to me. Not sure how long I will keep up with it, but might drop it if it stays like this. |

| An okay episode focusing on family and shit. Rokuro's arm reminds me of Allen Walker's arm (from D.Grayman) for some reason. |
| ่ญใ- |
| The show is getting progressively worse, probably going to end up as one of the worst shows of the season |
| Gah I really hate that they changed the story around in the anime. |

| This episode was a bit boring and it seems like it was shorter than the others. Only liked the moments between Benio and Rokuro but that's all. I don't know if they intended to make us feel emotional with that vassal story but it didn't work on me. Seriously, if the show keeps going like this, I might drop it. |

| Probably one of the more interesting episodes as of yet. Really made me like Ryougo more and it was nice to see how much he cherishes the MC. It was pretty touching. |
 |
| Nit as good as the first three but still a very good episode! |
King_Oriax said: The show is getting progressively worse, probably going to end up as one of the worst shows of the season Lol no, it's going to get much better. Actually wait for the villains to be introduced and for a main plotline...I can tell you it get much better, that is if the anime follows the manga. |
|
| Not good enough, unfortunately. Was a complete bore |
| The future couple are getting closer and closer to each other !! |
 |
| That was an awesome episode in my opinion |
 |
| I like how they develop the characters. Good episode, Rokuro seems to become more and more an Onmyouji |
| Benio-san blushing was cute to see. |
| On a slight downhill for me... Hoping for the next one to be better. |
 |
| Kinako is irritating as fuck. I hope some monster kill that little bastard soon |
Stay in yesterday ๆใๆญขใใฆ |
| Sorry I was a bit late but well, never mind that. :) Anyway, yes from the beginning of the episode (Episode 1) until here just got more interesting. Finally, I'm glad that at the nearly end that Rokuro has opened up his heart a bit for Benio. Although, Benio doesn't give much response but she did replied to him nicely. The fights are still great but I'm really hoping for more while for the relationship of Ryougo and Rokuro has been explained though, but not that much. So, the story needs to develop more than the previous one. |
| Alright episode I guess |
 |
| A mediocre episode...Ryogo almost a fodder but at least the two saved him... 3/5. |
