A recap episode... this also happened with Shingeki no Bahamut, I guess because they messed up with the budget too.

Zed saying "See you tomorrow" is really to make us think that there won't be a tomorrow for Leo, right?

I'm pretty sure this episode was 90% comedy only to prepare us for the tragedy that is going to be the ending. I wouldn't be surprised if Leo ends up either killed by Black or giving his eyes and probably dying then but that's gonna be heartwrecking... Leo's character development is one of the best I've ever seen and that really got me attached to him so yeah DON'T DIE PRECIOUS LAD.

Still asking this thought: if Leo gives away his God eyes, does he still have his normal human eyes or nah?

Why are people saying the episode is like filler when it was basically from the source material? Do some people not understand this series is episodic which is why we get these Sol moments. It's not filler it's apart of the series.


For a while I didn't understand that since it was tying together the anime only material as well as the source. It wasn't until I did some research that I found out that Black and White were anime only, explaining why interaction with them always seemed so separate from other moments in the show. Which is better than them trying to shove it into the middle of source material and making a mess of what's there.

Also, the introduction at the beginning of every episode obviously tells the viewer that the show's format is episodic. Not to mention the first episode where Leo sends a letter to his sister, pretty much telling her about all the things that have happened to him in Hellsalem's Lot. I guess people didn't really pay attention to that though.

Poor Leo. God of Chow has betrayed them all.

Damn, here's the Leo, White, and Black confrontation scene.
What would Leo even do in a situation like this?
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Pretty much this. I mean that letter that was sent to Leo's sister Michella in episode 1 was basically about all the random and fun hijinks he has done with Libra throughout the series which we the viewers are seeing. That's why in episode 9 Leo didn't know what to write in his letter which all connects back to episode 1 because he finally accomplishes it.

Seriously it's all these little details that makes me love this series so much, too bad some people don't realize it.

Restaurants in Jeusalem's lot are the most strangest and weirdest places that I would not go to. It's really sad that Kekkai Sensen is ending too soon, I just hope Leo will save Black and date White by the end of the series

I thought this episode was okay. The stuff with Leo and company were funny enough. I feel like this show does have problems tying it's plot together sometime and can feel a bit jumbled. I also don't really feel much for the other characters because they really only devote a lot time to a few. Maybe a possible season two will fix that.

Yeah, 10 episodes and people still don't get it.


Maybe because in most series this stuff IS filler? I don't really understand how you guys are surprised that people think it is. Personally I think this show is trash, using the guise of being episodic to be random but that's just me. The reason I say guise as well is because it really isn't episodic. There was a continuing story for the last two or so eps.

Your concept and use of words are really funny, I have to say.

Maybe because this isn't the "most series". Go count how many "plot (yuck, it's really disgusting when people use this word for that purpose)" episodes are there in episodic series like Cowboy Bebop and others. This show is about the life in Hellsalem's Lot with sometimes frosting and icying of shounen battles. That is the content. Also, episodic does not mean it must not contain any "plot (yuck)" elements and continuing episodes. (Almost) Every story needs a finale, whether it's episodic or not.

On a side note, I really don't understand why those anime watchers have the tendency of using tags like "plot (yuuuck)", "character development", or "fillers" mindlessly as a means of excuses for covering their lack of expressive abilities. Just "this was boring" or "not my taste" would rather come much more genuine, seriously.

How can they miss all but one lunch place exactly behind them all the time?? Poor Leo, chew god is punishing him XD

Never I though this anime would be really entertaining for me, and how pity it only get 12 episodes (not including recap episode), I don't read the manga so I don't really know how much this anime conveying the original. Will there ever be any chance for a second season?

Noragami is getting a second season and according to the estimates of BD/DVD Kekkai Sensen is going to sell a lot more, so I think is possible.

How exactly would it be considered filler if it's all things that actually occur from the source material? It's pretty blatantly stated that these are the events that occur around Leo and Libra. By now, I wouldn't even consider these events random. In fact, why would you? It's not as if any event that occurred hasn't been explained, besides it's Hellsalem's Lot where there is always something happening. It's obviously episodic, sure there was Z's Longest Day but other then that ever other episode just has its own story (minus the anime only moments).

I think it's because they want to give a reason behind disliking a show that puts it in a bad light, like instead of just simply saying "I don't like the taste of bananas," they'd much rather say "bananas lack any expressive flavor compared to other foods. It uses its excuse as a fruit to stand out from other foods but that doesn't mean much if you don't express your taste."

I think this formula, a good way to narrate events. Despite not having almost never a serious moment, they managed to reach the predetermined point; some may argue that reaching the climax had the right pathos, this can not give him almost wrong. The feeling that you would expect, is that the question point-blank, but it is not. The rest is always exquisitely beautiful and well done, humor and beautiful designs remain unchanged. I can not wait to follow the next episode. I hope that there is by return a second season of this show, too much fun the atmosphere.

Black is even more interesting now. White pushes through to taking Leo's eyes.

Exactly this. It's amusing how people try to sound all high and mighty only because they can't say a simple "this show isn't meant for me".

I'd love to see whether the LoHOS guys are really that good or corrupted by Black already. Apart from that, a typical Kekkai Sensen episode: Stylish, crazy + godly soundtrack.

Most people use the term filler without actually knowing what it means.

Having a continuing story doesn't mean the series isn't episodic. It can be episodic in nature but still have an overarching storyline that connects previous episodes.

A hilariously crazy episode once again!
It cracked me up seeing that Leo, Zapp & Zed couldn't find a find place to eat, without any disturbances or wired crazy fucked-up alienized purely gore random restaurants!
The end of the episode is also a despair filled scene. Leo is in deep trouble especially his all-seeing Eyes op the Gods.
5/5.

Oh man, poor Leo and Zapp and Zed not being able to eat ANYWHERE ... then getting interrupted when they were finally gonna eat :P Zapp got food poisoning from the tuna too ... ahahaha XD
So a little more background on the Casters and they were chasing down a rogue shipment ... also, the "original" couple went missing and then their children? Would that be Black and White? It said that one of them was a Caster too so ... what? Well in any case White just straight up asked Leo for his eyes ... didn't think that'd be how she went about it :O
Uh, so is next episode actually a recap episode? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT IN A 12 EPISODE SHOW???? T_T That sucks ... I woulda preferred even a random filler :(
