"Oh my God!"

He let her go. -.- Come on that is something i would expect from a standard shounen. He should of at least interrelate her or something. There wasn't much of a battle really this time either.

Loved how they took a shot of gramps in the hot spring relaxing. I was also pissed at how the humans are so easily contained in that mansion. Have they not been there for a few days already, and they are just taking notice now? >.>

lol they are children. kids tend not to question things when they are in an environment they find tolerable, or otherwise relaxing.

he should have talked to her....but i think he is trying to keep his distance....they are natural enemies you know, and he has an image and a clan to maintain.

that cyclops dude will betray them it seems....he will probably die a horrible death too.

Night Rikuo is always awesome; beat Kagibara-Onna with just his "fear" if that's what they're calling it.

Good episode overall, but I want to see some Shikoku yokai ass being kicked soon.

I absolutely HATE Hitotsume!!! That one-eyed bastard is nothing but a bitch ass yokai! He was the first one to start screaming like a girl during the first attack...and now we discover that he can't keep his mouth shut and unknowingly gave secrets to the enemy. Please kill him off!
Night Rikuo is HOT!!!

The last two episode were filler episode.
Hari-onna never had any role before the actual final battle, neither was it mentionned that another person having a high position in the Nura clan was attacked and killed other than Hihi I beleive.
Same goes with the last episode, in the manga Kappa's first fight is actually in the final battle against shikoku.
I understand that they want to develop the interaction between the shikoku youkai and the Nura clan but as far as this episode goes I think that they are doing it wrong.

Nurarihyon shouldn't be relaxing taking a bath right now.
Anyway I hope it goes on track soon, since Tamazuki told Inugami that he want him to do something I guess it should soon.

Yeah, Kejourou action <3. I wish they'd cut out Kana's useless kitchen scene and afterwards to give Kejourou more time to shine. Hitotsume being an even more useless dickhead in the anime makes me chuckle, serves him right.

As for the question of filler or not, I do recall something about the author working with the staff to expand some things, so I'm guessing the Shikoku arc's additions were all his idea. I'm not complaining, this sort of expansion is better than actual fillers, kinda like how D.Gray-man did things.

All of this so called "filler?" episodes is the "Almighty" Hiroshi's idea. Ever since before the anime started airing,it has been said that Hiroshi will be collaborating with the director to expand the Shikoku Arc,.i mean,why would they bother doing these event changes from the start if there are not approved by Hiroshi himself,and besides i wouldn't call this filler episodes cause they are still plot related anime original episodes those manga readers haven't seen before :P
And of course with the disease that lingers w/ this manga readers being biased on what they have seen first,they are sure to start nagging.

Someone need to calm himself.
Filler is filler because it is material that wasn't in the manga, not because of whatever other reason you are assuming whatever if the mangaka is actually working on the project or not.
As to why they would do change ? Seriously you probably haven't watched many manga to anime because it happen often.

Also yeah I have been saying that the anime is crap since the start not because it is an anime but because it has low productions values.
The animation is average at best, the seiyu aren't fitting for the most case and they couldn't capture most of the essence the manga have.
Some adaptation are good, some aren't people should get over it and stop labbelling everything genius because it has the name of something they like on it, that would solve a lot of case actually.

So they're pitting off the ones that will face off at the final battle in individual faceoffs with this "extending" of the Shikoku arc. Not bad but I must say I'm getting bored with the happenings. The meeting of the higherups are getting old, the Kiyoutsugu Squad is useless and unfunny and they're abusing Rikuo's transformation. His transformation is suppose to be unpredictable and he's not supposed to change every single episode. I also don't like how Yura is seemingly weak here. She's much stronger than this. Although I like it that they're kind of hinting Rikuo's potential. But as far as the events go here, I don't like it.

Next episode seems to be on track a bit with Grandpa finally arriving at his destination but I feel we're going to have more individual faceoffs like last episode and this one, with Ao being the next contender. Gonna lower my score for this in the meantime.

Cool episode, but why the hell did Nura let that spiky haired bitch go?...I would of sliced her head off!

and she was asking who the hell he was....did she forget that the nura clan have a leader?

I didn't read the manga. Is the next ep gonna be a filler one?

cause the old nura is still way up in the mountains, taking baths while the others are fighting their butt's off

I guess it's gonna be half filler. Grandpa taking a bath is just for the lolz and is not in the manga. The preview showed that he arrived at his destination which is in the manga and should have followed the scene last time when he commented that the mountain was too quiet. The other half may be another pitoff between a Shikoku youkai and one of Rikuo's just like the previous two episodes. My guess is gonna be Aotabou.

because she have only seen Rikuo in his day form and haven't got any idea of how Yoru Rikuo looks like.

well,aren't we lucky,having rikuo unpredictably changed in two consecutive episodes,.it's just like what happened in the incident w/ kyuuso,.the yokai side of rikuo felt needed that's why. And in the case of Yura,.it's like your forcing an injured middle schooler exorcist to fight her ass off,.she's just overpowered cause of her injuries in my perspective. We still have kids as protagonists here ^^,

Night Rikuo is reallly HOOTTT! Wish i could've seen more action though!

And the pace of the episodes lately have been to slow, wish i could see more action in one episode! There really is nothing much happening in an episode and i think this annoys some people....like myself. Not complaining the episodes are fillers or whatnot, just sayin they should up the pace a little.

I haven't read the manga and thought it was ok because new 26 ep or 12 ep animes are all just a boring story with awesome 3D movie like quality animation. And among those boring animes this is quite enjoyable when u have nothing better to do.

as i gaze back into this comment, i finally realized that his complain is the answer itself. Why? couldn't Rikuo transform into his night form in two consecutive episodes, you've already said it is UNPREDICTABLE.,

Filler or not it didn't feel like a filler at all so shut up manga readers. I don't know if the manga is better or not and if you want to object about manga feeling better do so but after you do there is no reason to analyze every fucking scene that different simply because it's different and not because it was horrible.

Anyway am kind of disappointed he let that woman go. I know shounen heroes are annoyingly moralistic but wtf, this guys are supposed to be demons. Demons shouldn't give a fuck about killing an enemy.

I expect hard action to start because we are already 16 episodes into this series and haven't seen a decent fight yet.

God these Yokai are so soft it's irritating. I know it's because Rikuo(despite his appearance at night) is only 12 but come on. An enemy just tried to kill your friend and tried to kill one of your comrades. He let's her go anyway. Really hope he gets a little more ruthless. I'm also hoping we start seeing less and less of the middle school kids(Besides Yura obviously). They're really annoying.

Action was pretty great, but I think Rikuo is being a little too altruistic... I don't think returning someone induces more fear, especially if they are unscratched.
Nonetheless, the art was pretty nice, some scenes were really well detailed.
