----------------------------------------
Kyouko Machi is such an adorable character! I love the character chemistry between her and Tetsuo this episode. In particular, she is shy but is able to talk to him like a normal character. I think it's because she's a dullahan that she has a hard time socializing with others.

Also thought Machi's VA did a good job at portraying her personality in this show so far.
I think her character chemistry with the others in particular Hikari was entertaining to watch.

Another informative episode with some very funny moments which was nice.
I liked how sensei helped out the girls like that or more specific Machi.
Hikari helping out in her own way was funny as well tho she did take the change to mess around again, she is very playful.

I really enjoyed this episode. I absolutely adore Hikari and the scenes with her and Machi's body had me laughing.

The over analytical part of my brain had me thinking that if there are only 3 dullahans in the world why isn't there more hype about Machi. Shouldn't she famous or something being so rare?

Very fun ep, especially with the scenes between Hikari and Machi's body.

Or maybe it's because they walk around carrying their heads and there's so few of them that people probably would be freaked out rather than be hyped. If there were more dullahans, they'd be more of a common sight so it'd be more likely people would be able to adapt. With vampires and snow women and other demis shown in the show, it's not so obvious what they are unless they tell you.

Another interesting episode, with lots of expansion on Machi's character and some hints about Yuki as well. Hopefully we get onto her interview soon, but it seems like we'll be moving onto the succubus teacher first, which is perfectly fine by me.

Nice episode and this anime really portrays all the problems they would face pretty well if they were a reality.
Why does everyone like Sensei's arms, haha? But in all seriousness, he's a really respectable guy.
Looks like next episode is the Succubus :O

Very nice episode.

Lot of spotlight on Machi's character and it was really interesting to hear her talk about the things she faces.
The date in the second half was really amusing and fun to watch.
Hikari is quite the mischief maker, her interactions with Machi's body was pretty funny. xD

Was nice of sensei to get approval for Machi to carry a backpack. :)

Looking forward to the next episode.

Maybe hype wasn't a good word choice. Recognition of who she was, or at the very least what she is. There wasn't that much of a reaction from the public aside from when she started screaming thanks the Hikari messing around back home. Like, a middle aged man is just casually holding a talking severed head and having drinks with it, no big deal.

This anime is really funny, mature and hart worming, I think having your head separated from your body gave you advantage and fun thing to do , you can do two thing at the same time in two different places maybe your body can't see but it's really fun idea..and itchi things lol as hikari said .
And sensei helping her without telling her was really nice even if it was hekari idea I think .

I think in real life also people with disabilities really would like other to deal with them normally, people think That they are considerable but I think it is not the case.
Of course that doesn't mean not helping them when they have problems related to their disabilities.

Macchi is way too adorable....Such a nice and respectable girl she is :)

This episode was beyond cute and fun and I am loving the interactions between Sensei and these girls...Also it looks like Succubus Sensei is starting to come around (I kinda want to ship those two together =3)

Great episode overall and I really appreciated the info that we got on Dullahan's and how much are there in this world....It's also really nice to see their teacher try to make their life in school more easier and fun and most of all fair towards them

Machi's character is fun and sweet, and i don't mind her puppy love for her teacher, but Takahashi-sensei is pretty dense if he can't see how inappropriate their "experiment" was.

Still fun tho. Very curious about the other girls.

I don't think i am gonna continue this. Might stay up till the
to see how the show executes that but so far this is underwhelming.

The director is clearly interested int he completely different things in the manga than the manga itself is interested in and catering to the wrong crowds. Thankfully so far they did not go all out with tasteless fanservice but I am worried about next episode. Teacher's plot is SO EASY to get wrong :/

After the way they handled the previous episode there's lack of continuity in terms of Hikari's behavior in this episode. Last episode she was all friendly friendly with the Dullahan and in this episode she is borderline malicious in a lot of it(which makes sense as she does not know her as much yet). The progression of character interactions feels out of order. Which is a problem as strong focus of this is


Not to mention the directing style continues to be lacking to the point of a lot of scenes I liked in manga end up just feeling dull here. It lacks that more somber tone and understated comedy moments and the comedy is played up quite a lot compared to the manga.

The show so far feels like it is taking pages from the manga and just adapting them while adding some anime original comedy and playing up the comedy from manga. There's nothing done to evoke style or to focus on actual interations and conversations. Its not quite Ace Attorney level of meh and there's quite consistent quality through the show but there's clear lack of effort in terms of story-boarding and scene composition. Yet again, this would have been a perfect show for Shaft to handle, not A1.

Instead of having its own identity like manga does, Demi-Chan adaptation ends up feeling like your typical "cute girls" school life show. I can't quite put my finger on WHY but a lot of this feels a lot more tropey than in manga and characters feel a lot less real. Is it the pacing? is it the lack of stylized visuals? I am not sure. But a lot of this feels very "off"

Fantastic episode, could easily be the best anime this season.
I liked thinking about the intimacy in trusting someone with your head. You're completely helpless and defenseless in that situation and would need COMPLETE trust in the person you're giving your head to. What a dramatic situation it would be for someone to kidnap either your head or body.
Also can not wait to see what happens if a succubus falls in love, should be fun.


HE DIDN'T ASK THE OBVIOUS QUESTION!
How does the food dullahan's eat get from their head to their body. The only answer I could think of, it's converted to pure energy in the form of radio waves and transmitted as data like wifi to the body. The obvious problem is it would be way too much energy to transmit and her head would end up glowing with gamma ray radiation killing everyone within a mile radius of her.

So most likely, it's just magically teleported. Since there are so many other magic elements it's no big deal.

I find hilarious Macchi decided to wear pretty clothes... when she planned to bring only her head to the "experiment".
Amusing episode, it was very cute and Hikari troll moments were funny. I would have liked to know more about how dullahan's biology works, but the series has more episodes, so I somewhat expect to know more in the future.

Takahashi-sensei must be one of the best anime teacher ever, he even took action to made Macchi carry his head more easily. He is great.

Next one will be succubus teacher. I'm pretty interested to see how things will turn with her.

I just kept thinking about how the detached head could be exploited... see, if the body is elsewhere you could just do whatever you want with the head with no resistance, right? This and that... >>

Plus how did people not freak out at him holding a head. I would instantly think it was either a prank or murder...

Also, I laughed so hard when the fire on her neck hit the ceiling. Sensei's reaction. XDDDD

This was a great episode. Learning more about Machi was nice. The joke she made was hilarious. The chemistry with her and Tetsuo was very good. It was heartwarming when they hugged. The "date" they were doing was nice. Hikari interactions with the body was funny. Pretty cool of Tetsuo to have Machi carry a backpack instead of a bag.

This episode propelled this anime to my favorite so far for the Winter. I mean I know there's some great anime out there this season but man this episode had everything. Happy, Sad, Perverted, Funny, and Embarrassing moments, this episode had it all.

The hug...THE HUG!!!!! So good. Although Hikari kind of interrupted it, that face had me in tears though.


The Date was sweet though, even with Hikari "Poking" fun towards Machi constantly *wink wink*

Takahashi-sensei is such an awesome dude. Even though I am sure it was Hikari's idea, Takahashi was able to confront the Principal and convince him into letting her get a backpack. Satou (the Succubus) was able to see Takahashi not only showing how much he cares about his student's but also his Co-workers when he mentions to the Principal about having Machi's homeroom teacher take the credit for it. Plus she clearly see's that he has a strong interest and caring for monster girls.

I absolutely love the atmosphere this series delivers. The show has a lot of shortcomings but in the end I've come out of both episodes extremely pleased. It's nice to see both sides learning together, and it is even nicer to see a MC who has a reason to be dense (in other words, the behavior caused by his density is expected of somebody in his position).

I'm surprised he didn't bring up anything about how the food gets to the body. She was sitting there drinking a sundae or something and there was nowhere for the drink to go. One could assume the content teleports from the head to the body, but I still find it odd they didn't prod into how.

One can't help but feel a little sorry for Machi. Talk about enduring loneliness. Imagine walking around carrying your head while blue ectoplasm erupts from your neck!

I wonder what the deal is with Yuuki? Is she afraid of Machi?

Hikari, the chatty little pest, does a good deed in a half-malicious way, but she's being helpful.

Despite the episode being about Machi, the Hikari parts were the best thing here. Thanks to god damn Hikari, I ended up thinking about some weird dullahan stuff... And I thought of a generous amount of techniques too. Dammit. And then Hikari didn't like a date going too perfectly. Lol when she poked Machi's nipples with full force.

Apart from the glorious Hikari, the episode was still good.... And a bit creepy.... Takahashi hugging a head, carrying a head around, Machi wanting a boyfriend who would carry her head around on dates, a headless body going to the bathroom, a headless body traveling by train (okay the parts about the headless body were hilarious). Also, where the hell was all that juice going when her head was with Takahashi? Also, Machi has normal human parents. How was she born? Pretty important question. Bet the doctors were scared out of their minds lol. They should go a bit more into how these people become demis.

For Machi, being a dullahan isn't a disadvantage; she probably wouldn't have it any other way. There are some inconveniences but she gets around them. The only real problem she's having is that people feel a bit uncomfortable around her. Machi wants to be treated like anyone else, which means that she wants to make jokes about her state and wouldn't mind it if others do the same. People avoiding topics about her headlessness makes her feel like she's being treated differently which she doesn't want. I would like if they go a little more deep into this and show some relatively serious things. It's good enough this way too, but I think they can afford to go into somewhat serious waters. The opening sequence does hint towards some relatively serious stuff with those dull colors after they show each girl.

The romance bit feels a bit off to me. I think they can do well enough without the girls falling in love with their teacher. This feels even more off considering this is only the second episode and Machi is already in love with Takahashi. I would understand if the succubus sensei does ecchi things with Takahashi, but not Machi especially only two episodes in. It could have been better if they showed something like Machi confessing to some other guy she likes and then how that plays out.

Overall good episode. Loved Hikari. Good comedy. Now the succubus will be in focus. Also curious about Yuuki's case.
