Well, the action was nice and all, but I still kidna miss the comedic version from manga :(

And two big changes concern me:

That sunset was not convenient. The kid getting stuck in the ruble was not convenient. The door getting jammed was not convenient. The third light bulb going out was not convenient. Wow, so much shounen fail. I expected better. What i would give for a show that would allow the protagonist to keep his identity without having amazing luck or mentally incapable friends.

The battle was not bad, but they didn't live up to the build up expected. We got two minutes of him being sliced up easily, yet again, and the other half of the episode of the guy freaking out. You would expect more when he turns into a giant and slaps around the other youkai. Nice to see night Rikuo in action again though.
(Very bad 3/10)

This was complete BS. Not only did they change the scene but they completely changed my favorite backstory in Nurarihyon! I'm really not the type of person to complain over fillers but doing this to my top favorite series is annoying. Very Lame

I hope to god they can make this up.

And he was suppose to. Inugami should be no more by now. I have no idea why they let him live and what will this do in future episodes.
And no Tamazuki transformation either.
And what is up with that sunset? Fast forward? Inugami's holding Rikuo up high that long huh.
And no history about how Inugami is created.
At least Inugami's transformation was good, and they kept Night Rikuo's appearance in the curtains. Fight was ok, wish would have been longer. The change of locations just to keep Kiyotsugu in the dark was lame.
Not a bad episode, but I still prefer the manga version of this part.

Ah me too and then he just shows some protective soft side O.o I have a feeling that the ending is going to be very different than the manga.
I like the anime and I love the manga, and although I understand adaptations are needed because it's only 24 episode, I think they did not need to change the episode so much.
BTW, wasn't episode 20?
I don't want the anime to end though :'(

Just to clear things up, this is episode 19. The Gyuki arc summary episode (that everyone hated) is not episode 13 but Episode 12.5. The official website is the source.

Pretty dissapointing. The inugami-fight during the school-festival was my personal higlight of this arc in the manga.... but they just ruined it. And no funny Kubinashi-scene where inugami tried to bite him in the neck :(

1/5 'cause the animation wasn't that bad.

Getting really annoyed with how they are dragging out each episode. Almost reminded me of watching DBZ as I was yelling 'get on with it!' Hope that the last few episodes picks up the pace, and stops wth the pointless interludes

Does the human rikuo always this useless, i know he is weak but come on he can at least do something against inugami instead of just waiting for the night time to transform and the fight was weird i mean they both slice each other up but how come i don't see any mark or blood at least (especially on inugami the fact that he did get a few cuts from rikuo).

However i like about a short scene on how inugami become attached with tamazuki, inugami survives and the part where shima saw kubinashi head flying over him that was just funny.

this whole episode I was just listening to Inugami, thinking "geez, how emo is this kid??". from here I see either Tamazuki killing him off or Rikuo "reaching" him with some sappy s*** and getting him to renounce his evil ways. if not one, it'll probably be a combination: Rikuo "reaches" Inugami and Tamazuki atempts to kill him only to be saved by Rikuo causing Inugami to be eternally grateful for his kindness.

As far as I remember, in manga Day Rikuo took care of his bad sides by using cunningness. But for some God knows which reason, the Director thought that Day Rikuo must show his useless side to be deeper -_-;
I mean, the Gyuuki arc was supposed to show that Rikuo can take care of himself.

Oh, Kubinashi, you sexy floating headed yokai!! You arrived just in time and you represented!!
Tamazuki is an ass and Inugami needs to just die. He is nothing but a big jealous crybaby and is disgusting to look at.

I find it kinda lame, every time the bad guys get away and no one dies.

And what happened to the spider-looking yokai chasing Yura and the others?
Did they just magically disappear? >.>

The people who are making the anime are idiots why would they choose now to diverge from the manga especially when the way things went in the manga were a thousand times better than the shit they pulled in the last two episodes.

This part of the story was supposed to show that Rikuo can transform during the day as long as it dark where he is and that the Tanuki dude doesn't care about his allies. The dumb asses making the anime failed to do either of these.

Also Inugami is supposed to be dead how much more can the plan to do with him.

Sorry this episode just pissed me off and I needed to rant.

Fortunately, I did not have the expectations very high since episode 3-4. I think it's a big failure in terms of animation budget, sound effect and plot line. It just fails miserably compared to the original manga.

Depends on the sales, not quality. While the sales were not top-notch, they weren't horrible either.
Also, the mainvillain of the next arc already got a VA so it seems that S2 or a immediate continuation is already in works :P

hey! where'd the revelation that rikuo can transform even when it's day as long as it's dark part go? where'd the inugami history go? where'd the tamazuki kills inugami part go? and where'd the tamazuki transforms into his youkai form part go? too many important things got removed!
they shouldn't attempt a second season.
i'd rather have another studio animate this from the start, stick to the manga plot's greatness, and try to cover the whole story even if they have to make fillers to make sure they don't catch up to the manga.

The scene with Yuki-Onna and night rikuo was kinda cute, loled at Karasu-Tengu crying. I don't have s ingle thing to complain about really but I must check out the manga when this finishes, must be epic.

Tsurara protecting Rikuo was the best part.
She definitely deserves him after that, that and her practically laying on top of him.

Tsurara activate's Frost's snow globe, super effective!

Of course, antagonist waits for night to come before attempting to kill target for the sake of plot convenience.

Saori in uniform is a hottie. I love her boobies. How come Shima or Kiyotsugu aren't sexually interested in her?
So foolish of Shouei to charge in alone when he's not strong. I thought he could take out some demons and at least wound that giant.
