Whoa. This episode made me consider putting this show in my favorites. Fake Yayoi's face when she grabbed Keitarou was peak horror. I wish more shows would know how to get it right!

This episode was nice, the plot twists regarding the Castle H Spirit being evil/not evil were interesting to watch. She's very sweet.

I've heard a lot of things (and spoiled myself some) about tunnel F, can't wait for next week!
I'll make it with the power of cute

Everyone prepare! Old F tunnel is much more terrible than H Castle Ruins.

Oh shit Hayamin is behind the castle H ruin spirit, and she's actually that pretty spirit! Now that's how to seal the episode onto a great one...

Also, not expecting the way they battle the high level spirit like that, especially since the High Priest of the Devil Tongue use such an aoe kind of attack like that. But damn, almost its backfired themselves pretty fast, especially since Keitaro tends to always lowered his guard off like that. I shake my head after he once again getting caught by the sutra curse. Glad that our little master spirit girl manage to handle the situation well enough by those thumb she carried helping too. Then yeah that's it the s-rank spirit has been neutralized, and i do curious which terror they find next....

what was up with that star in eiko's mout at the end? it reminded be of the stars in the other girls eyes? or am i going crazy and it was just meant to show how excited she was?

It was just a visual effect. The stars in her mouth appeared in previous episodes as well.
@InNeedOfAName ah, okay. i just never noticed it before so i pointed it out. thanks for letting me know

We are on to cour 2 now. Get your belts ready. It gets darker from here on out. People who say H Castle was dark is in for a ride. Next ghost might need a warning label lol.

I'm glad to finally see a spirit that isn't malicious. Them deciding to let her stay behind presumably at least semi-free (I'm guessing she's bound to the general area of the stuffed animal now instead of the site itself) as well as getting rid of the evil talisman was great. It's even better that the spirit willingly offered to help them after recognizing they weren't just there to attack her.

Hope Yayoi was exaggerating when she talked about just using her split spirits as shields in a semi-cruel way. I can get her desire to use spirits for her army but I'd really like if they kept at least some that are overall benevolent and willingly helping them (bonus points if they have at least one/a few sign on specifically to help defeat/seal evil spirits).

It’s amazing how this show is actually making me like such a bland looking protagonist.

Holy crap, what an underrated gem.

That high priest sutra is pretty wild

Actually nice to see this spirit got to be set free of it's malevolence. And she's cute too.

I wonder how deep that cut on Keitaro is if it just goes through the skin or all the way to the trachea. I assume it only got to skin level. Probably needs stitches not just bandages he got.

I am still confused why Keitarou doesn't seek to get stronger from his grandma. She has abilities and knowledge as she's able to operate on his curse and keeps sealed spirits at her shrine... there has to be something she could teach him. At the moment every time Keitarou agrees to go ghost hunting they barely make it out alive and yet he still chooses to go in blindly just expecting Yayoi to figure it out. Seems too haphazard.

I feel like the last episode was how Keitarou perceives the world and this one was Yayoi’s view. His world is much scarier. I’m proud Keitarou has made such strides in his character development.

oh damn! just successfully capturing an S-Rank is already a very tough ordeal and they need more! just how powerful is that (god spirit) Yayoi's currently gonna duke-out! oh my!
probs it would be 2 eps per 1 S-Rank! damn! i hope we get an ultra banger fight with all those S-Rank that they are gonna collect!
5/5.

I wonder what the backstory behind the Buddhist high priest is, who exactly he was in actual life while mortal, and what led to him ending up that way. When you stop to think about it it's such a blasphemous and sacrilegious concept which plays perfectly into the ingredients and logic behind what makes horror effectively tick and get under many people's skin. The inverting of the sacred is textbook stuff.

He reminds me of the case of Saint Hakushin, from Inuyasha, if anyone is familiar. I wonder if a malevolent youkai also led him astray in his last days.

Never thought of ghosts backstory, but now that priest ghost got my attention!

Well.......this she is getting real. I am loving the character growth and development of Kei. The people acting like he needs to be a Shonen main character when my man is more grounded and realistic. This shit is no game and is legit a every man. He doesn't want to do this but he rather not deal with cruses fucking with his life.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

That priest is pretty OP, though probably not strong enough to bring down a "god".
