Very good episode!
I was actually expecting the person, who was possessing the doll to be an adult, since Ayami said there were only spirits of children, and also because the doll drove away all other adults.

I was expecting it to be something about a witch. But I guess this is where they throw in a curve ball right? I've got to say it was creepy and the sounds were what spooked me out the most. The sounds of the children were pretty terrible I've got to admit, sent shivers down my spine.

I was glad when they finally burned the doll because that thing was by far the creepiest thing! I hate those types of dolls, they look too human!

The only problem I have with the episode was that our first look at the ghost who's controlling the whole thing isn't as 'good' looking as all the rest of the spirits. I kept expecting something bigger, scarier but what can you do.

I agree with you that dolls are creepy looking but remember that one didn't burn. That gave me an even bigger creep factor. ^.^

Haha, I only started watching this with my cousin who is a guy, and he already wants to change anime after the 5th episode. XD

He's more creeped out than me but I love this kind of thrill.

Yep, I immediately thought that this must be the other way around - not a child's spirit that was supposed to look for its mother, but a mother who was looking for her child.
But damn, I got pretty scared this time, maybe because it's gotten dark in the meantime xD Haha, it's more fun this way...but I bet I'm not gonna get much sleep tonight.
Btw, Monk-san is pretty badass to just stand amidst those spirits, chanting weird prayers x__X

I finding the show and the material it covers interesting but..not all that scary. It's a good show, but I feel as though everyone else is over reacting or something.

Pretty good episode. Don't see how people are scared of this anime; guess I've been desensitized to horror.

The ghost is a mother looking for her child? Reminds me of the Marowak ghost from the Pokémon Tower in Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow. Good times.

Yes I have though of that too 0:

And lulz at the monk wearing a black shirt with a skull on it. bwaha.
1:29 am. Not stopping though :'D I am highly entertained.

I hate it when these horror things start messing with children and dolls. I think I might have screamed if I had my headphones on. *scared easily*

Really? There is going to be third part of this case? Hm.

Anyway, this episode was great. There was some very interesting moments, like the part where the children's spiritis actions arose in 02:00, which is the spirit hour in Japan. The catholician exorcist actually succeded in his exorcism... I was very sceptic about this part. And the Monk's mantras succeeded in a way too, that was just great(now these guys don't seem like just some cheap scammers.

The Shinto woman is still useless tho.

This episode was quite good! The story behind the doll was really interesting and the girl at the end was so creepy. When the doll started moving and shaking, I was like omg.

But yeah, I like how it's not just one case per episode. I should probably sleep because it's nearly 3AM but stuff like this is only good to watch when everyone's asleep. c:

Things get interesting. So the responsible of this was the spirit of a woman. And it look like she's calling for a child. Maybe after the first child died, she killed herself and now she haunt the house?

I'm pretty sure Hara threw herself on Naru on purpose :P
It looked not natural as fuck.

Man, the wailing children was a nice effect. Pretty sad though that all of them died, probably because of the evil spirit, and have since been trapped in the house because of it :(

"Don't move out, the poltergeist which has haunted this specific house for a long time killing all young children living here MAY follow you." WTF is wrong with him, and with "Sissy" for listening to his bullshit? And then without explanation he has them go to a hotel after all.

He says "may" because it's happened in the past and is a valid concern and one worth considering and as a result, pausing before taking further drastic action, but it is not a certainty. He needs more information before making any further assessment and he is just communicating that fact to her. Urging her to delay any life-changing actions until the situation is more clear.

The hotel part isn't contradictory, since there's still a chance that it won't follow them there - marginally reduced chances of being haunted versus guaranteed prospects of being haunted in the house. And getting a hotel room for a night or a few nights is not a comparable drastic action to selling your entire house/property and buying a new one; a major life event and upheaval.

Another creepy episode. I'm glad they managed to at least exorcise the doll since it not burning in last episode was quite scary. I'm really loving the atmosphere of this show so far, it's hard to find actually scary horror anime, but this show is pulling that off excellently. I end up looking around me all the time because I get the feeling that something stands behind me when I watch this show ._.
This case is more engaging than the first one so far too, I hope that will keep up throughout.

I didn't expect the main spirit to be an adult, although it makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. My hypothesis was that it might be another kid that had bad relationship with their parents, maybe due to some abuse, and that's why they just choose other kids. But a saddened mother is a lot more sensible scenario.
