Wow. This anime is like a satirical parody disguised in a "moe" wrapping. They took so many different animes, themes, and archetypal characters and stuffed into Boku x Inu.

We have the tsudere ojousama who is the spitting image of Yuuko from "Kamisama no Menochou". Her demon form is a parody of "oniko". Then we have the overbearingly loyal butler from "Kuroshijitsu" who turns into a traditional fairy tale fox deity (Wagaya no Oinarisama + Inuyasha), the yuri/hentai/megane bodyguard, who's like a Rin (Mnemosyne)/ Sacchan (Gintama) mix, and not to mention, the maid who looks, acts, and sounds exactly like Yui from "K-ON!" This is just the beginning! I looking forward to a lot more cheap laughs and witty parodies Inu x Boku has to offer in the episodes ahead.

Anyone else spot an associating character/anime in Boku x Inu that I missed?

It was better then the first episode but still having doubts of this Anime.
Even tho the girl was less of a spoiled bitch then the was in the first episode she is still way to arrogant.
And the Golden Retriever reference really matched to servant guy man he is creepy, he is totally obsessed with the girl.

Τhat makes the series unique, the characters are flawed but they are unique and interesting. Their flaws makes the series funny....

2) The loli protagonist is arrogant and kind of spoiled in the surface but deep inside her she is just a lonely person that wants to be loved. She is a good person but she is hurt psychologically because of her past experiences...

2) The Servant dude behaves like a stalker but not in a sexual way. He respects her very much even if he is very attached with her

If you read the manga many things are going to change...Anyway I am not going to spoil

Stalker.

Not sure if I'll keep watching this. I don't like that kind of relationship where one of them is obsessed with the other, though maybe in the end he will be a more mature character and that? Hope this is what the series is aiming for, to surpass those damn clichés, that would be amazing.

I hope the fox guy changes. He is really annoying and has no personality besides being devoted to her. It's nice to have a female tsundereish character who doesn't make me want to punch them in the face. But it doesn't help when the male love interest has no personality besides being annoyingly clingy.

And Honestly this episode was worse in comparison in the first episode. There was a whole lot of nothing going on.

While the plot didn't progress much this was another good episode and this show in general seems to be a pleasant surprise. It seems that next episode will be a school episode which makes sense considering her age so I'll look forward to it; the texting at the end was touching and funny; i wonder if he ever responded or made her guess if it ever went through till the next day.

Wait a second the eye color and face does not match too well with Yui. Voice? Shit it is the same one as Yui. I expect some good goofy/comedic moment then. Expectations went higher now of this series.

I think she's there due to a crush on the obsessive fox. Oh and her eyes turned green when the ayakashi blood revealed itself.

BTW, Shoushi has yandere potential.

Alright, lets start with the good: First of all, we get further insight into Ririchiyo's character and why she is the way she is, in the first episode we had a little but it was very basic, and this episode has added quite a bit that I really enjoy. Second, the whole demon action show thing that the show needs to maintain is used much better here, it doesn't feel shoehorned in like it did in the last episode it worked very well. Also seeing the Youkai design of Ririchiyo was really cool.

My main problem is still the same: I cannot like Soushi because of just how fucking creepy his obsession is, it's downright disturbing. He's supposed to be the deuteragonist but I just dont want to watch this guy, I seriously hope we get some solid answers about why he is the way he is, or I wont be able to continue with this show.

Overall, I liked this episode, the action was better, the comedy was pretty good, and I like the characters (...mostly). Oh and this opening is fucking great, the song and the artistry, its the best one I've seen so far this season

As someone who has read the manga, Soushi has perfectly good reasons for being the way he is towards Ririchiyo, and as the anime seems to be taking it one chapter an episode, we'll get to his backstory around episode 7 or so I reckon.

Can't wait, especially for Kagerou to show up.

Hinomoto Oniko is pretty accurate, from the weapon to the oni mask, but the rest is normal japanese folklore i think.

Good episode. 4/5

It's good to see that Soushi being around Ririchiyo is building up her self-esteem, however, I hope she won't end up in a relationship that makes her too dependent from him.

I adore Ririchiyo's other form! I wish she stayed that way all the time.
The texting scene was adorable.
Even though Shoushi is a character I typically wouldn't like I jut can't help myself.
I REALLY want to know why he is so attached to her though.
I have to stop myself from reading the manga because I want to be surprised.
This continues to be one of the better anime this season.

Soushi is attractive and Ririchiyo is confirmed for best tsundere.

This is going at a slower pace than I expected it to, but I saw earlier in the thread that this seems to be going at one manga chapter per episode, so here's hoping that the plot at least kicks up soon. That's really my major complaint with the series. However, I'm still enjoying what I'm seeing, even if it's just in the setup phase right now.

I agree about the plot being dragged out, but I'm still enjoying this series very much so far.

Hmm...the show continues with the cuteness of Ririchiyo and the comedy sparkles of the bishounen looking guy.
Yes it's still sweet but if the humor consist of that guy stalking her all the time it might get kind of tiresome.

Too be honest I'm getting a little sick of Soushi's clingyness and melodrama. So far this series hasn't really entertained me, but we'll see. Ririchiyo is great however. Nice to have seen her use her powers too.
