| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was amusing with the way Ushio and Tora. I mean, it wasn't an actual fight but whatever. There's no way he can defeat him at the moment even with that Beast Spear imo right now. Nice to see Hyou's presence this episode though. I think his voice fits his character quite well so far as well his personality. His thirst for revenge really brings out his character. And imo, I think Tora should sometimes listen to the advice of others. For this episode, perhaps from Asako. He took quite a beating this week.. |

| Hyou had a very dark past with both his wife and child getting killed. Hopefully we will see more of him in future episodes as well as the monster that killed his family. |
| Hyou is so great. I think we will see him again with his family's killer soon. |
 |
| This was probably my least favourite episode from the original series, and this new adaptation wasn't much better. But thankfully the next episode is the so next week should be a lot more enjoyable for me. |
 |
| Atleast Ushio now has a badass scar |
 |
| Asako <3 Another good character intro episode. Hyou is pretty cool :v |
 |
| Hyou-san is pretty awesome as an exorcist. Battle scars are cool! |
 |
| Hyou of the darkness flame. The fight was good. He better get a ton stronger thou since he can barely beat a weakened tora.  |
 |
| Eh, I didn't really care about this arc in the manga and I didn't care about this episode either. |
| yup, still going strong, love my weekly dose of ushio to tora! |
| :3 |
| Hyou is a cool character, although he was being pretty unreasonable; wanting to fight Tora even after knowing that he wasn't the one that killed his family. I guess rage got the best of him for that moment. The fight was great, and hopefully we'll see him again soon. Asako putting Ushio back on track was nice to see too. |
 |
| Best episode so far, this was really good. |
 |
| Somehow, i can't feel the 'Broness' that was suppossed to exist between Ushio and Tora. Their relationship in general is one of the weakpoints of that anime. |
| U just gotta love how tsundere Tora and Ushio are to eachother Loved Hyou. BA addition to the cast. I can see him contrinuting to a lot of the battles later on. That Tora vs Hyou fight was amazing. Lasted a whole damn day lol Nakamura ship is sailing smoothly and Tora really did love the burgers XD |
 |
| Such a great episode, Hyou is such a good and strong character, his presence made it even more amusing and interesting, what happened to his family is really unfortunate! Ushio though, I was really pissed of with his childish act at first but then he beutifully made up for it, it's just not like him to cause harm to someone who's actually innocent even if it's a monster let only Tora, and well this accident will help making their bound stronger now, Tora should try eating Pizza sometimes he won't need to eat Ushio |
| holy shit this new dude is badass |

vodall said: i like how the Chinese guy somehow managed to find Ushio within 5 minutes of coming to Japan best girl of the season continues being best girl Melon. anyway, really digging it, it's old style, that's obvious, but after reading a couple chapters of the manga, i can say the anime is quite damn better, yet, if thye were going for a "hit" like with HXH2010 or kiseiju.... they ain't gonna get that, this would be more on the levels of kyoukai no rinne regarding amount of fans, maybe even less, but imho it is better. |
| Even if an episode isn't much enjoyable I get this weird satisfaction from watching this show. It's probably my favorite not just this season but in a while. Still unsatisfied with the MAL score. |
| Although his backstory was nothing super original, Hyou's past was still pretty tragic. He's a cool character though. And I'm glad we got confirmation that Tora enjoyed the hamburger he got in the previous episode. Lol at Nakamura: "Hit me!".....and then she proceeds to run away before Ushio can hit her |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Hmm, I'm interested in finding out who the real monster is that killed the man's family... This episode was pretty awesome. I always enjoying watching the quarrels between Ushio & Tora. |
| So a little progress to chalk up in this episode: Asako so obviously likes Ushio that I think we can chalk up an easy win for the childhood friend (although romance clearly isn't the focus here), and Ushio and Tora appear to be moving the marker into the "frenemy/allies despite themselves" category. Meanwhile Tora has expressed his fondness for Inoue's "hamburgers"... Megaphy said: Still unsatisfied with the MAL score. At 7.65 currently it is .45 better than the original series, which isn't bad for a reboot with a retro style. Also MAL Score Progressions http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1399634 shows it making steady progress each week in the ratings. I think you'll find out this will end up in pretty good shape ratings-wise by the end of the series. After all it's not ground breaking or based on a current hot manga/LN, it's a very entertaining reboot. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Really like Hyou, his style of exorcism is badass. |

| Those 3 should've just sat down and have hamburger picnic or something while exchanging info on the spear and offering help to track down that youkai |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Best episode yet |
 |
| Damn, I really like this Hyou guy.....Sucks what happened to his family though :( Dude's pretty impressive, especially he fought Tora for over a day and actually was one step away from winning....The fight in itself wasn't any spectacular but I will say that it gives them both some cool feats Seeing Ushio realize (With the help of his childhood friend) that he actually likes Tora and appreciates everything that he's done for him and vice versa with Tora was really great |
| lol Hyou. -"Guys, stop hurting kids" -Beats the shit out of Ushio |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| We meet Hyou Dark past filled with revenge The one has three claws. Tora has four Next is the sea ayakashi episode Asako is the best |
| Best episode so far, I honestly never thought that this would be one of my favorite anime of this season :) |
| Really solid adaptation thus far. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| I hope this anime progressively starts getting more and more Asako each episode. vodall said: Well, going to the area a monster was spotted around Ushio's school and having Ushio run into him in a park near his school isn't really that far-fetched.i like how the Chinese guy somehow managed to find Ushio within 5 minutes of coming to Japan best girl of the season continues being best girl |

vodall said: i like how the Chinese guy somehow managed to find Ushio within 5 minutes of coming to Japan best girl of the season continues being best girl He did that Feng Sui water divination thingy in the airport toilet so it probably gave him general direction. |
| Enjoyed the hell out of this. I really like Hyou's character, he's an interesting addition. Ushio and Tora's bond is becoming stronger : I still can't get the image of Yuma out of my head whenever Ushio speaks though.. That VA. |
 |
| Bros before Hyous. This time I felt this was weaker than the manga version, which is a shame because I really like Hyou's introduction. |

| For revenge, killing the wrong person is murder. And if its the right one, is it not murder? ZoroZoldyck said: I really like Hyou's character, he's an interesting addition. Ushio and Tora's bond is becoming stronger : burger is the key!! |

| Good character development for both Ushio and Tora. I feel that this isn't the last we'll see of that exorcist, since we don't know who's that Tora look-alike that killed his family. Man I hope the romance between Ushio and Nakamura happens! |
 |
| How is Tora gonna get those burgers though? Can he shape shift? |
Shrimperor said: Somehow, i can't feel the 'Broness' that was suppossed to exist between Ushio and Tora. Their relationship in general is one of the weakpoints of that anime. I actually find Ushio & Tora's interactions(and Tora interacting with the world in general) to be the strong point of the anime. Of course you can't feel the broness because it's not even there yet. However, it's slowly building up, which can make it all the more satisfying. Not like it doesn't have plenty of eps to work with. |
| Holy shit, the show is finally starting to pick up! Best episode so far. The action was pretty good, a step up from the mediocre action in previous episodes. I'm hoping that an actual plot gets introduced in some of the later episodes, because the monster of the week formula is not my cup of tea. 4/5 |
| God fucking damn. Hyou's the man. Perfect voice for him. Was really hoping he'd train Ushio a bit though. Maybe later. |
| Damn, I can't wait to see more of Hyou. |
 |
| Tora is the only tsundere youkai I don't mind watching. |
| 臭い- |
| Religious zealots and officials are always my favorite type of characters, definitely looking forward to Hyou. |
