----------------------------------------
Oh sweet, Seigen showed up. I can barely take his personality seriously but it's about time he appeared in this series. His relationship with Rokuro is rather bizarre so far. I have to admit that he has a decent amount of abilities, definitely not someone to be underestimated.

I think this episode had less humor compared to the others though especially with Mayura's life in danger again. Gee, what a surprise The revelation about Rokuro's past as well..

So Mayura's "concern" toward Rokuro is now more than just a friend. It become more clear after that debate and Rokuro's "confession" about what he want to do for now.
And that Mayura's father, he's definitely on a different level from Benio and Rokuro. And YEAH, he has no resemblance with Mayura. LOL

This was the most interesting episode of the series till date. First half was pretty average but the second half really made up for it. Finally some insight on Rokuro.

Seigen's pretty cool, Like how he's testing Rokuro conviction.

The Hinatsuki tragedy seems very interesting, From what I see i the PV I'm guessing all the children were corrupted and turned into Kegare leaving Rokuro no choice but to kill all of them.
I hope Benio-chan doesn't overreact to this and start hating Rokuro.

So does this episode mark the start of the first major arc? Cause everything upto now seemed episodic.

The flashbacks showed that Rokuro's arm was like getting ripped apart. (in Episode 1)

I think the Kegare corruption has something to do with the Hinatsuki tragedy.
At least justify your opinions instead of just saying "it's my opinion". It would've been more polite.

I was so hyped for this series, with these 2 exorcists together figthing monsters, but what happend?

They just hate each other, there is another useless annyoing girl with big boobs and fukn green hair, annnd there are so many just boring episodes.

Episode 7 where they did something together... I just called at the start, they will offend each other at the end... and what happend? Exactly that.

SPOILER I guess: And now... Rokuro killed Benio´s brother?

What reason does she have now to like him?

If they don´t stop hating each other... the series is done for me.


just read the manga. the anime is a sorry mess it's complete bs so far

How?

So far, it's done a pretty good job by adding more characterization for the side characters unlike with with manga

This episode should have happened earlier but even so, it still adapated the important bits quite nicely....They perfectly nailed Seigen as well

Probably because it's not his fault. As much as they are trying to make it sound bad for him right now, of course there's going to be a legit reason why this happened. Rokurou is going to blame himself for it regardless though, because it was 'technically him'.

I don't believe Rokuro killed his friends at will. Probably something happened that forced him to kill them. Probably that will be revealed in the next episode.

Seigen is badass. I like his lazy tone. And voiced by Junichi Suwabe. Simply great.

Best episode so far.

I kind of like Seigen, for some reason I really like characters with a "give no fucks" type of attitude. Then again, it could also be because I don't really care for just about any of the other characters. Whatever, I want to see more of his abilities because he seems like he'd be a badass in combat.

Looks like we're getting into Rokuro's backstory. He obviously must have had a good reason to kill everyone (they were probably afflicted with that Kegare corruption) because I seriously doubt he would simply kill them in cold blood. While this show is still painfully average, things seem to be getting interesting.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I wonder if Benio can forgive Rokuro for that. Marrying each other seems even more less likely now. Not that we would've seen it anyway since they're kids.

Benio and Mayura clash over Rokuro being an exorcist, but Rokuro stands his ground.
Mayura has potent powers cause she's from a good bloodline and Captain Levi archetype arrives XD

i like this episode. the first half was okay and as it went to the second half, it was getting pretty scary xD when a scary kid started to grabbed mayura's hand. that one was pretty scary imo. and the second half........mind fuck.......xD well that was only the beginning tho. the main event for the mind fuck is in the next episode. and i was pretty suprised and didn't see that coming. i thought Kegare killed all of them but i didn't expect instead he killed all of them. now that is a one hell of a pain.

kinda looking foward for the next episode :D

Lots of background information on everyone.....Eyebag Man.....Green Hair Girl......Whiny (but improving) MC......and female MC (only annoying thing about her is her familiar). It seems like most folks have a reason to dislike our MC at this point in the series so we best come up with an explanation for his corruption back then to soothe the savage hordes! 7/10

Wow what a huge reveal, I suspected Rokuro lost control of his powers and went berserk but I never would have guessed that he also killed Benio's beloved brother. It's going to be interesting to see how she will respond and be able to forgive him for it.

Wow this episode was rushed, lol.

Pretty sad they cut off Seigen's full introduction and Rokuro's reaction to seeing him back, which in the manga was him dashing away the instant he saw him. Was more amusing.

Well, lets hope whats gonna happen next episode is what I hope will happen, at this weird pacing.

I still dislike Mayura, she reminds me too much of that useless 3rd wheel girl from Shakugan no Shana.

To be honest, they took a bit too long to reach this spot. 8 episodes in and we finally get to the beginning of the main storyline. Not that the previous 7 episodes were a complete waste of time, but they could've definitely compressed some of the stuff down by at least one or two episodes.

Now unless this show goes for more than 12 episodes, we really won't be seeing much in the way of plot development.

Fantastic episode, finally back to adapting the manga. It's a bit odd we're getting Seigen and Hinasuki tragedy backstory before the Kamui fight but so far the re-arranged scenes make sense since they're making this a 50 something episode series.

Well, they certainly dropped a bomb on this one...

MC is now a mass-murder, is (forcibly) engaged to the sister of a victim, and living a fairly free and happy life... and his master let's his daughter still associate with him, even though he knows what happened.

Not sure how they will glue this back together. Rokuro at best seemed like he was just sad about a past tragedy, but now he's revealed to have played an active role in it. Oh I know he was 'corrupted' and that's how they'll spin it, but really he's not been living a penitent life. He's been going to school, asking out girls, and just living with what up until now is just survivor's guilt. What an awesome counseling and therapy program they have to get him to that point in just two years.

This whole situation is just bad on bad. I'm gonna say they'll excuse it as a "not his fault" or "he's at victim too", maybe "boys will be boys(?)". Expecting a cheap way out.

Nice development overall, Seigen didn't seriously looked like Mayura's dad though.

The OST during the battles in this anime are just fantastic, you can just see the battles for the music alone.

A bit more about Rokuro's backstory and what really happened there was great, now I think I can understand why he would just space out during every battle till now.

But there is more to the story and I hope the backstory just gets richer and more deep so we can understand everyone's emotions and maybe even root for them.

All of these characters aren't likable at first, but they develop later on...though I can't say the same for Kinako since he's an anime original lol

Also, the anime might mess with everyone's characterization so I'm only vouching for their manga counterparts

Nope....After this episode i suddenly feel like i don't want to watch this show anymore...

-Episode 8 and mains' relationship didnt improve at all
-Annoying side characters,villains,etc...
-Barely saw plot
-There is not "1 thing that makes me want to watch more"...It was the possibility of a romance which is nonexistent now

Dropped...Dont take it as an insult tho,i dont usually watch shounen stuff like these,so its my bad...


Thanks for clarifying that one...Was a little stupid tbh...
