So Suzuha died.. I thought those wolve creatures were visualisation of how those painful words feel..But still death is tragic :c

I Don't know do I like or do I not the thing that they remove facial features when character is far , they look like slendermans then..

Imagine Yukine's reaction to friend's death..omg

i just love these characters. This arc seems more interesting and I liked Suzuha.

This was a good build-up episode, I especially liked how they enhanced the overall effect of some scenes- like when Suzuha died and the promise of blooming Sakura obscured him from view.

Sucks that Suzuha was killed off already. And right after he and Yukine's friendship was really taking off. I also enjoyed that mini-fight between Yato and Kugaha, and it looks like he and Nora are scheming to take down Bishamon.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Quite the buildup this week. Really sad that as soon as Yukine makes a friend they die.

Wonder what'll happen with Bishamon. Kinda makes me want to read the manga.

WHAT. Suzuha, an excellent character who had good potential for further development and attachment. You cant commit character slaughter on someone like that!

It looks like this regalia Doctor guy is able to control a few phantoms and is siding with Nora.

I see what they did there,
this is basically prequel
to the OVA



Well, a snake has
appeared, eh?



Hmmm, let's see if Bishamon
will be able to overcome the
upcoming trial in a sense
cause you know having a large
number of followers has its
disadvantage

Honestly I thought the second episode was leagues better than episode one...I kinda feel like episode 1 was more like a filler compared to this one and looking forward to watching more since the build up for whats going to happen next is really pulling me in XD

The opening is starting to sound really good btw O.O

This was somewhat sad, especially how Suzuha was forgotten, not so much for his death, as it just sort of happened.

Bishamon's family isn't much of one to be wanting to be any more of a burden to Bishamon. I hope this doesn't turn to something like a regalia massacre.

Suzuha made me cry again. His story really reminds you that Regalia are dependent on both their masters and normal humans yet humans forget them easily and even masters themselves don't always call their names.

It's also really nice to see Yato show his badass side during that fight with Kuruga after all that teasing from Hiyori and Tenjin lol

I noticed they cut and rearranged some events from the manga. No wonder the pace felt a bit rushed. Not to say it was a bad thing but I just hope they don't fuck it up. Anyways, this was a nice episode. The part where Yukine mentioned about Hiyori forgetting them was quite emotional; I teared up a bit haha. Oh can't wait for the umbrella scene next episode.

Holy shit I was not prepared for Suzuha's death :( I can't imagine how Yukine will react...I figure Yato will be the one to tell him since he sensed it and all but gosh I don't know if my heart can take it!

Bisha's nice and all but all she's doing is creating a fake family. Everyone forces themselves to act happy in front of her. That's gonna bite her in the ass. And now the regalia are already starting to lose respect for Kazuma. Shit's getting real.

This sums it up quite nicely. I wonder why the blight on her neck disappeared? Or was that an illusion that Kuguha was playing on Kazuma? Who knows. But yeah I understand Bishamon's sentiment but when you have so many people to take care of and draw strength from at the same time just one weak link can fuck the whole thing up. I wonder why Kuguha is specifically targeting her though...does he feel like she isn't rutheless enough, and that Yato can somehow bring her down? Guess I'll found out his motive later.

I hope Hiyori realizes that Yato and Yukine need her and gives up on wanting to be "fixed". I wonder if she can choose to stay in soul-form. Them being together forever would be really nice :)

On a side note... I know Nora is... what she is, but she's also quite... interesting.

I've been feeling the same way about Hiyori for a while. Although I'm sure having your soul pop out of your body is quite annoying, I feel like it wouldn't be too bad if she could control it better (because it seems like she's still having issues from what I saw in the first ep). It'd be a lot to ask from her but Yato and Yukine do need her, and if she were to disappear now it would be big trouble for them...

I am loving the way they are adapting the story this season.
This arc is so important to the story and I was really worried if they would handle it well, but so far so good.
I can't wait to watch some scenes animated, it's gonna be epic!
For those who haven't read the manga and are talking shit about Hiyori you really have no idea of what you're talking about. Hiyori is a very important part of the story, just wait and see.
Anyway, great episode!

Suzuha's backstory was so bittersweet. He had known that girl for years ever since she was a little girl and eventually became a beautiful adult. He hadn't seen her in years either so seems like she truly has forgotten about him. I can't believe Suzuha died like that though, so sad. I really don't like Kugaha. Of course we all know Kugaha was the one that pretty much killed Suzuha but it was really Nora's wolves that had eaten him up.

Yukine and Yato are now worried that Hiyori may eventually forget about them. Darn, my heart wasn't prepared for this. Yukine will break so hard once he ever finds out about Suzuha's death. ;~;

It definitely won't overtake the manga, they're right at the beginning of the Bishamon arc which is around chapter 17 or so, and there are like 60 chapters in total.

Been wondering where to begin reading for this particular arc, so thanks for that. :D

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

I was bored after first ep as there was nothing new in it but now the story picked up a lot. But this episode was so evil. First we get the Suzuha back story just to feel for him and then feel bad seeing him dead. Well, it was clear that there won't be a happy ending for him, it was 30 years after all.

Maybe it's because I've read the manga I find this a bit boring. It's nice and all but knowing everything already just meh. Or maybe it's because I never liked this Kugaha guy.

That apart I am waiting for some parts in this arc a lot and yeah. I am excited for things.

Awesome ep. Poor Suzuha, Tomoko was so cute, sucks that she kept forgetting him and sucks more that he was killed like that. Holy shit his death scene was brutal.

Lol'd at Yato's &quot;Fawning over Yukine much&quot; XD So Jelly.

Bisha's nice and all but all she's doing is creating a fake family. Everyone forces themselves to act happy in front of her. That's gonna bite her in the ass. And now the regalia are already starting to lose respect for Kazuma. Shit's getting real.

Loved the Yato vs Kuguha. He can kick ass even without a Shinki like a BOSS
of course he can kick ass he has been god of calamity for centuries that's a lot of tine for becoming perfect in killig
