INteresting,
Was Natsume listening when she was told "if worst come to worst, go to Saotome Suzu for help"? I mean loli sempai would have probably come up with a way to help Harutora without having her sacrifice her life for him.
Not likely since he is a bit sissy, but Harutora better beat the crap out of those guys and especially Takiko.

They adapted this segment surprisingly good. Except for CGI's though.
The soundtracks from end to finish is also nice. I want the full length now!

Wow, that episode played out really well. It was nice to see the start of the series from Natsume's perspective as well as how Hokuto came about. Even though there was no OP/ED, the insert songs tied the scenes together nicely.

Well just reading comments in this thread here is enough to spoil yourself. I mean the freaking 2nd poster apparently felt the need to post what happens next, in a spoiler tag or not you'd think people would see the "THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE" bolded on the top, especially when they're the 2nd poster. Shit man, no one fucking asked.

And the chain quoting spoilers above could have been avoided if they simply had post on their profile comment section or message each other.

That was a really good episode with a really great send-off for natsume in the credits. Stuff still needs to be explained better in the next couple episodes but if that happens we might be in for a pretty good ending.

They didn't, right? They just didn't kill the best girl in the anime, right? When they played the ominous insert song instead of the OP, I felt something ominous going to happen.

Damnit! i should had known from all that foreshadowing you know something bad is gonna happen when relaxing acoustic music plays!

what makes it all worst that's twice harutora has lost someone (even though it was kinda the same person) with the lost of Nastsume this feels like the start of a bigger arc but we only have like a month left

I knew what was going to happen but it made me sad anyway :( Awesome use of that music during the flashback, it felt so peaceful it was definitely the calm before the storm.

And now...did those onmyou agency bastards not even consider that maybe Harutora won't join their side with all the shit they subjected his friends and family to? Especially now that Natsume is "dead," I expect some serious payback.

With all that has happened, what I'm really excited to see is the animated version of
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

Kon post-credits are probably not needed anymore, episode 21 to 24 will be full action for the most of the part. I doubt if we will see more of them though.

Well as for the spoilers for the thread, can't be helped because some people just don't understand the stuff mentioned in the first post.

It's pretty obvious there will be some ass pull with Natsume's revival. Main characters rarely die in series like this. Otherwise I'd be pleasantly surprised and rate this show much higher for breaking the mold.

In the first second, I knew something was going to happen, due to the flashback and the wonderful calm song, also there was no opening, what always means that something is going to happen for Sure.

The firework was wonderful, I could have watched it a bit longer, also Suzuka was really cute this episode, who would've thought, that it would make her that happy, to see the fireworks with her friends.

It was an obviously outcome, I already knew, that Harutora would be the reincarnation of Yakuo, I also knew, that Natsume and Harutora exchanged places.

Takiko got the Raven Coat and used it on Harutora after casting a spell, but it was actually a surprise, that the Raven Coat is a familiar instead of a coat.

The outcome was really sad, Natsume broke the seals on Harutora which actually sealed his spirit seer abilitys. Natsume already broke the half of the seal after Hokuto died and she made Harutora her shikigami. After sacreficing herself she undone the whole seal which her father placed on him, you can call the seal also a curse.

I realized something after seeing Hokutos death Scene. While Natsume died, she exactly said the same things as Hokuto while she was dissapearing. It's seriously is sad, that he had to lose 2 important people of him, while they both were actually just one. So you could say, he lost one important Person 2-Times.
In the end, while you saw Natsume's thoughts, that really was wonderful. Not only that Piece minded Face of hers, but also when Hokuto said, good work, for her telling him, her feelings.

Yakuo's sentences also are amazing, you see them in the end of the episode, they really are very awesome made.

I can't wait for the episode next week, this cliffhanger was placed perfekt.

This Episode deserves 10/5 seriously very perfect episode.

Oh okay Harutora was Yakou that was obvious enough after episode 17 but...They just killed NATSUME?!!?!?!? Seriously? SERIOUSLY??? Kiilling the best girl? ;___;

WTF is wrong with Takiko, what the hell is she to Yakou anyway? Suddenly showing up and then forcing the crow on Harutora. I just hope Harutora gets his revenge now that he has the coat. What was Yasuzumi thinking to seal his son and then using his adoptive daughter as a decoy? He's partly to blame here too.
God damn I wanted to see Harutora's real mother but they just didn't showed her at all.

This episode was 10/10 even if they kill Natsume. It gave me all those feels and that insert song. ;______;

Damn it...I hope Takiko dies now that they have killed my only favorite character..

Oh wow I just read something about Natsume in another episode discussion thread. Her real parents are still not confirmed (not even in the Light Novel)
Is she really a Tsuchimikado?

Yes because those who complain about no one dying are the ones complaining about people dying.

They started this episode beautifully with Natsume's narration. The OST was good too. Them it turns out Harutora is Yakou's real reincarnation. And then they just killed her off like that.

Its just as easy to not click on the spoiler tag too - its there for a reason to contain spoilers if you dont wish to see them.
