| I really felt the story lacked substance, not many things happened other then introducing the cast and some of the gadgets being used. As much as the silliness from the damashigami, and the other "villains", while enjoyable, it almost became filler-like to the point where things were starting to be ineffective due to the repetitive nature of the so called problems and issues. Like how at the moment the damashigami is the main antagonist, things are just a routine for Rinne, and the big boss (Rinne's dad) manages to get away every single time. I just can't imagine how I would be satisfied with the damashigami organization being shut down, either by force or from mutual understanding. Whilst the "clown-like" episode has it charms, it definitely brings the faults too. I'll watch the second season, as this was entertaining , but I can't reiterate enough in a sense. Sakura feeling lonely, that's a start. All in all a good show, despite my rant. Some good laughs every now and there. Can't help but to compare this to Inuyasha, though, which in itself brings a cycle of negativity T.T Ohh, negativity... Begone! |

| The idea of the candy was interesting, but since I already knew from news reports that there would be a second season of the series, it lessened this aspect because I already knew that she would be returning to seeing spirits one way or another. But it was fun seeing Sakura being oblivious to all of the evil spirits targeting her, though. The running gag of Tamako rubbing Rinne's temples whenever he called her grandma got old really fast. At this point, I might be willing to watch the second season when it launches in Spring 2016. It's just going to depend on what else is coming out then and whether or not I can fit it into my schedule. |

| What can I say? It feel so random now. Well, even if there is a second season, I will have to pass. Start off good, but later on just not so good. Go from 8/10 to 6/10 |
 |
| This last episode kinda reminds me of the good 1st episodes of this series, but it turned on kinda boring, I hated Rinne's dad arc so much and after that Kain's arc was not so good either, I will pass the 2nd season, I am actually mad that this got a 25 episodes show and got a 2nd season while other good animes didn't... 6/10 |
 |
| This episode wasn't bad... But what good does it do when we have like 13 (or something) mediocre episodes. Shame, it could be so good... I like it more when there's some genuine romance hints. Also, some fresh comedy. At its worst, it is just repetitiveness at its peak. 5/10. I am out (unless the S2 is like really, really good) |
 |
| Yup, I'm not coming back for a season 2. It started off enjoyable, then bearable, then just rapidly went downhill. Dull characters, no plot, boring overall as a series. 4/10 |

| lol that announcement at the end. Really well done. Was Hoping for more of this so I'm totally relieved we got to hear an announcement so soon :D |
| Well that's a good way to end this season. And I somehow enjoyed watching this whole season. I might watch the Season 2 next year. But for the meantime I need to catch up with the manga. Anyway, I'll rate this anime a 7 out of 10 score overall. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| wtf man not enough of Masato and Sabato ESPECIALLY MASATO AND HE TAKES UP QUITE SOME SPACE ON THE FUCKING COVER too much fucking boring almost every ep is about a random character who won't even appear ever again SHIT WHY WAS THIS SO GODDAMN BORING IT'S RUMIKO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN |
| Whoa. I totally didn't expect there to be a second season. I didn't think it was that successful of an adaptation. I'm still currently reading the manga. |
| 臭い- |
| They thought Rinne had a Mamiya Sakura sex doll. Nonchalant even when a second season is announced. |
 |
| LMAO that has to be the best season 2 announcement ever. The first half was very damn good, but it really fell flat in the second half to the point where it got boring. There were like 3-4 really good episodes in the second half, but that's about it. Season 2, i will obviously watch though. 6/10 |
| Overall, this anime was a breathe of fresh air, considering all the pure shit animes I had to trug thru to get to this one. It was very enjoyable and easily one of the best animes of Spring 2015. The first 12-13 episodes were easily a 9 for me, then the latter episodes brought it down to an 8. And the reason for this was simple: Mamiya Sakura. The charm this anime had was enough to carry it for the first cour (if you will) but the character of Sakura started to get irritating and she alone dragged everyone else down. The no emotions, no reactions bit just stopped working as it did at the start. What I wanted was more emotion, more emphasis on the romance, Sakura actually having some character...., at one point, I started questioning if this was really a shounen and not a shoujo. My greatest fear for Rinne and its 2nd season is simply this, how long will the charm of the other characters and the story in general last and will it be enough to maintain this being a good story...., the potential is definitely there and one key factor is that the romance needs to take center stage more. All in all tho, for what it was Rinne was great, I totally enjoyed it and can see myself rewatching it all a couple times. Looking forward to season 2 and the great adventures to follow. Rating: 8/10 |

| I loved the way they announced a second season at the end. I was a little sad the series ended, and then that letter at the end just made me laugh xD This was such a cute series and it was fun to look forward to every week. |
| damn a second season, I guess it's really popular in japan. |
| I wish there were more episodes of the series like this where it wasnt all just comedy, it was a really adorable episode for me and it really beats the kind of tiresome jokes about everyone failed attempts at pursuing a relationship. hithummah said: Well NHK is basically the japanese equivalent of PBS, so you have been watching a kids show.how come this show is popular enough to get a second season yet there's no signs for any doujin. I think I've been watching a children show then. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Notice Samara from Ring crawling out of the well, nice spoof :) I'm so happy it's getting a second season. |
| All Rokudou had to do was take the cloak off if he wanted to see her. He also missed his chance to get a peek up her skirt. smh Why have the real Mamiya Sakura when you can have a sex doll. lol See you next season, legendary no facial expression Mamiya Sakura. |

| This episode: 7/10 I like random episodes like this. The comedy is similar to Ranma, and the main protagonist's characters are quite unique (from animes I've watched so far) that's why I totally dig this anime. I'm glad there's season 2. With season 1 over, I'm gonna go read the rest of the manga; can't wait for spring 2016. |

| Good to have season 2 announced. Like the others, I love how they did the announcement too, I also like Rinne and Sakura's reaction towards that. This season so far has been a hit or miss for me, some episodes were really boring and felt really stagnant (fillerish), while others were enjoyable. The lack of proper character development, romance development, and keeping everything the same feel like they were done in order to drag out this comedy series, which is a shame because if done right, this could be a really good rom/com. The soundtrack is also pretty meh overall. One thing I really like about the series is how it doesn't take itself too seriously, which make the series more enjoyable to watch imo. Hoping for the best of season 2. |

| Awesome anime. Well it had a good start, I'll definitely follow season 2 (now airing) Overall: 8/10 |
   |
| It was an okay series I guess. Really inconsistent in terms of comedy, and it really started to fall apart in its second half. But the characters were likable and at times, it was really funny. On to season 2! 6/10 |
 |
| surprised this has such a low rating. It's possibly the only anime under a score of 7/10 that I genuinely like. First few eps were pretty boring, but it slowly grew on me. Love how a lot of the comedy revolved around rinne being poor. The romantic comedy was hilarious as well. 8-9/10 |
 |
| Well I enjoyed it pretty much, but what I'd like to know is "Where is dat so called romance dude?" Season 2, I'm coming! |
| Sakura couldn't see any spirits this episode, kinda sad for Rinne who had to protect her but it all ended nicely with that bentou. |
 |
| This was a good season finale. Glad it focused on the relationship between Sakura and Rinne. And also the main plot point of Sakura being able to see ghosts. My overall thoughts about this anime: I think it had a strong beginning but kinda fell flat about halfway through. This felt like an experimental series from Rumiko Takahashi. Her last work before RINNE was Inuyasha which is still the longest series she has ever written. I'm guessing it exhausted her and she wanted to write comedy again. But instead of just doing what she did with Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 again, she did it a bit differently, with more "dry" humor instead of her usual exaggerated slapstick. And I like it. And I probably would've loved it if I was reading the manga. I didn't read the manga but I feel like the anime adaptation completely fails at adapting the manga's comedy into anime. Manga and anime are different mediums and it felt like this anime did almost nothing to take advantage of the anime medium to retell Takahashi's story. It just feels like a lazy, run-of-the-mill anime adaptation that fails to deliver and execute the comedy in an interesting way. It seems like the original Urusei Yatsura from 1981 is still the gold standard when it comes to adapting Rumiko Takahashi's comedy into animation. Another thing is, the main character Sakura Mamiya is a meek girl. While I like her a lot, most young anime watchers don't really like these sorts of female characters which impacts the popularity of the series outside Japan. That being said, it blows my mind that THIS show was considered mediocre back in 2015. This implies anime has been going downhill since then if not from before. Something that you can observe when you look at most seasonal anime these days. Anyways, I hope Season 2 is better. With better animation and with better direction. I think it's a good series but if I were to compare it with other main Rumiko Takahashi series I'd probably put it at the bottom. |
