- they over-dramatized the scenes before the final battle. The manga version was simple, but epic
- Tamazuki must have been working in Cirsuc or something before... him jumping around before the battle was... ridiculous...
- the battlefield didn't feel realistic at all for some reason
- am I just senile or did the anime turn Tamazuki into a pathetic weakling?
- Tsurara searching so long for Rikuo here made no sense: they were just few meters apart yet she lost him after noticing him...even tough he didn't move?
- Tsurara raging at Rikuo was cut out. Not really surprising, the scene had too many comic expressions and this anime doesn't use such -_-
- Rikuo&Tsurara vs Tamazuki&Yosuzume felt much less epic and not exciting at all here
- Tsurara vs yosuzume was completely senseless: why did Yosuzume wait for her to finish? In manga, Tsurara lured Yosuzume so she would miss slashing Tsurara for a centimeter and used the time of confusion to freeze Yosuzume

The battle had more mysterious feeling then it had in manga but feels much less realistic and epic in return... not sure if I am liking that -_-

Would someone just go ahead and kill Tamazuki already??? Why stretch this out into another episode??

Best episode in a while, even though it's nowhere near as good as the manga. Anyone know if they're going to animate the Kyoto arc?

Was a rather mediocre episode until Tsurara stepped in. What happened to this anime? It was so good in the beginning.

This episode is fine but i kinda felt is weird for shouhei to hide from the fight and just glaring the enemy,he is big but why can't he do any kind of action !?

So Demon Rikuo is aware of Human Rikuo's memories, but it seems like Demon Rikuo has more experience than Human Rikuo.

Some details were bugging me.

When Yukionna wanted to get near Rikuo. It seems like she got farther and farther.

the "I'm gonna protect" "I'm gonna heal everyone" "I'm just gonna stand here" "I'm gonna do what you ask me to" ...was kind of pointless.

the sword is pretty weak as well.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/nurarihyon_no_mago/c043/17.html

as far as i can see in comparison bet. the anime and the manga in my opinion, they're both the same, and Yosuzume did not wait for her demise in the anime, Tamazuki told her to stop and at the same time she was caught and was already being blown by the blizzard during the casting of yuki-onna's technique and have been completely blown away and frozen upon it's completion.

Hm, might have not seen that because of low quality of the video (I watched a stream). Will need to recheck the scene again.
While we are at it, is there a torrent or DDL link anywhere? It didn't appear on Animetake yet.

So Demon Rikuo is aware of Human Rikuo's memories, but it seems like Demon Rikuo has more experience than Human Rikuo.


Both Rikuo's share memories now. It was Day Rikuo's denial in earlier episodes that made him "senile".

When Yukionna wanted to get near Rikuo. It seems like she got farther and farther.


To make it worse, the whole battlefield seemed small.

the "I'm gonna protect" "I'm gonna heal everyone" "I'm just gonna stand here" "I'm gonna do what you ask me to" ...was kind of pointless.


I think that was one of good parts: at least everyone knows his role during the battle.

the sword is pretty weak as well.


You have yet to see Rikuo's and Tamazuki's swords in action. Those are some mighty blades ;) (and you will see might of Maou's Hammer in next episode).

Needed more YukiOnna scolding Demon Rikuo scene.

And with so many demons in the city, you'd expect people or the police to be getting involved and dying all over.

Lol. It's pretty funny to think that there's some sort of medieval armies fighting in the city. It's kind of like a weird gang war.

Are there any demons that use guns?

and yeah, Tamazuki is a pussy.

Last 5 minutes were interesting. Before that, direction was so weak and dull that I really wished I skipped to the end of the episode.

I envisioned the tag team to be a lot more.. idk... interesting? Nice to see yuki-onna in action but after all this filler it could have been better.

Both commanders were pretty weak this episode. Tamazuki feel for the fear, and Rikuo got tricked easily.

They could have used all that filler time to put fights inbetween the other people as well instead of boring build up.

Yeah. Considering how Rikuo was always presented as almost flawless, he should have at least had some defense against this low level trickery. that was kind of annoying.

Well it was an improvment but sill far too slow for me. Considering how much he bigged himself up, Tamazuki seemed far too much of a wuss against Rikuo in this ep.

The part where Rikuo started to walk towards the enemies was kinda lame(this was the one I was waiting for). The battlefield also seemed really small so the effect was lost. Though it was a bit good when Tamazuki was complaining that no one was seeing Rikuo then they crossed swords. It kinda cancelled itself.
The fights of the youkai also was unrealistic for some reason.
And why did they place Gozumaru and Mezumaru infiltration here, then put off that quickly? That should have been in the earlier episode when Shuhei was beat up for being stupid.
And was there a need for Kana and Yura fanservice? I like fanservice in general but it's a bad timing here.
But I agree with Jacut. Last 5 minutes were the best ones of the episode.
Yuki-Onna ftw!!

Episode was good but not what I expected from the climax of the arc.
Next episode should wrap up the battle. Wonder what'll be the last episode.
Teaser for second season? I doubt this'll get one but I hope it does, hopefully with better directing.

second season? unlikely and not a good idea. a manga-faithful reboot would be much, much better like fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, only that this show's reboot should avoid skipping or compressing events already shown in this version. the reboot could end up a long series like bleach minus the boring/lame moments.

Me too. Kurotabou FTW.

It took me forever to catch up to this point since I had no motivation for this show, and now that I'm finally caught up things are getting interesting. Maybe I should have slacked off until this show was completed then watched it all in one go. ^_^''

The only reason I watch this show is Yuki Onna. She was awesome in this episode....although not so much at the beginning of the fight, but she made up for it. I really hate them for teasing me with Yuki Onna and Nura.......I wish that other girl would just disappear.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Sad fact that Nura without Tsurara couldn't act cool. Tsurara is the best woman in this series. Ok maybe she's so strong because she loves Nura, love makes her even stronger!

It was an alright battle. I was expecting more from Tamazuki after the show hyped him up from the start. His performance was lame, and he relied too much on Yozuzume's abilities as if he didn't have any cool abilities besides that sword.

The episode threads aren't numbered correctly again? Is this supposed to be the Episode 23 thread? For Christ's sake.
