I got to say, I wasn't really diggin this series so far but I was very satisfied with this Ioryogi based episode. However, they gave almost all the information at once which seems kind of lame.

Ioryogi-san is a tsundere.

Ioryogi is cool in this episode. Surprised though at Ginsei. I thought he was angry at Ioryogi but then he's obsessed? Oh well... I hope some seriousness would be on the next episodes. I loved this episode.

One of the best episodes since the beggining. And finally Ginsei ! \o/ I love Kohaku's imagination at the end x) We'll see her the next week.

Yes! An Ioryogi episode! I've been waiting awhile for one of these because, honestly, I'm more interested now in his backstory than Kobato's.

I can't really take a fight between a weird rabbit and a stuffed anime seriously.

Kohauku's misinterpretation of the fight was funny though.

...I wasn't really expecting some epic animal battles to go down this time, but it was fairly interesting nonetheless. It was kinda lame how they explained /everything/ in the span of one episode like that, but it wasn't so bad.

Currently, it's a good series. I'm enjoying it.

Yes, finally! The anime makers are back from their holiday breaks :)

Anyways, this episode was a little bit boring in the beginning (I'm kind of tired of this whole helping out at Yomogi thing), but Ioryogi made this episode for me. It was so awesome to see his character developed, and it was about time, too. I think he's the person who started to develop last. Anyways, it's nice to see that Ioryogi is getting softer when he spends time with Kobato :)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Boring, yet important episode. It's a shame that we just now get an idea of the structure of the world in episode 12. I kind of wish we got this instead of the other Ioryogi episode first.

Finally, we get even just a bit of development. The first half was pretty pointless, but at least the interaction between Ioryogi and Ginsei in the last half gave us a better understanding of the Kobato world and added another layer to Ioryogi's character. It's just a shame we don't see something similar happening with Kobato, the main character, who is so far pretty one-dimensional and, frankly, boring.

If I watch this show with the set mind of a child, I swear it's even MORE INTENSE. I was like "NOO! GIVE BACK THE GLASS", that bunny guy was pissing me off. Iryorogi knows what he's doing, this bunny is just jealous. The fight was funny to watch, silly stuffed animals.

Glad we do finally get more of an understanding on this world and others though.

well, the conversation between ioryogi and ginsei did make kobato feel alittle more mysterious, but that's about it.

It's one of my favorite episode so far! I love how it focus on Iorogi/Ioryogi... It shows that some bond really had grown between Kobato and Iorogi/Ioryogi!

This episode makes me more curious on where Kobato really came from..... I really wanna know. :x

I wonder what Ioryogi and Ginsei looked like before they turned into their current forms...

I bet Fujimoto had a crush on Sayaka in the past. >D Or does still. (just a guess though, of course.) And what is this? Competition for Kobato? (Haha though the romance aspect of this anime is close to zero...)

The whole explanation about how their worlds are structured and stuff... Yeah. That would have been useful to know way back at the beginning.

Oh, this was a good episode though. I'm satisfied.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WE TALKING ABOUT PLOT ADVANCEMENT NOW SON. A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE MAN. This must be the best episode for me as of yet. Ioryogi is probably my favorite character next to Kobato. Also, I loved how he blushed in the end after Kobato told him that she's thankful for him, lool.

Okay so now we talking about Heavenly world, Underworld, Human world, and Spirit World. Damn son now that's what I'm talking about. Now I'm really really curious about Ioryogi's true form. Must be a total badass or something.

That Ginsei guy is an interesting character. Does he hate Ioryogi or he just wants him to get back to the Spirit world so they could live together again? Hmm I wonder. He was shocked since Ioryogi changed because of Kobato, nice.

Best episode so far. Some explaining which I'm very glad for and a nice little fight between Ioryogi and Ginsei.
I hope that they won't turn this anime into a fight between the worlds though (like Nether world - Celestial world). I wonder what world Kobato belongs to, because I'm sure she is not really a real human, I mean she obviously doesn't remember her past if she has one and she doesn't even seem to eat :D
I can only guess that she died with some kind of regret and now wants to fulfill what she really wanted to do.
Also, I hope they will show Ioryogi's true form later, I can't wait to see it.

This was epic, I didn't except this kind of seriousness at all.
I really like this story though, I hope it will be finished in the anime because I will (probably) never read the manga. Ioryogi was really funny this episode. This has been the best serious and best comedic episode so far imo.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

That scene in the park was pretty emotional, seeing how Ioryogi really does look out for Kobato and how despite always getting on her case he cares about her to the point where he would beg. Kobato is clumsy and ridiculously cute as always. I bet she seemed like a quack to Fujimoto screaming "Ioryogi-san!!" in the park.
