Oh the little girl talk was cute. That talking crow is annoying though.

That drawing though...LMAO. The music was fine again this episode but that form, a teddy bear? *face palms* It looks a bit creepy even.

This is cute with Hamaji going to school the first time, and guys are worrying about her.

That "Bannin" was creepy, but was unexpectedly kind. Seems like Bannin/"roommate" is voiced by Hiiro no Kakera's Tamaki.

Seems like more new characters showing up next ep.

Was an okay episode.

I liked the little songs in this episode and the last one.

Only 3 more episodes to go, what are the chances of a second season?

Oooook that bunny-bear was actually creepy when it started walking/teleporting towards them. O.o'

An episode with Kaname is always an awesome episode. @_@ <3<3

Yeah seriously right? They did such a great job with the song XD Shino's so funny for being scared of a walking doll. And Hamaji with her books about poison. All the characters are so very interesting.

This was a surprisingly interesting ep, this mystery was almost perfect.

The insert song creeped me out and send chills down my spine. They were able to render an effective "ghost-story" feel as well. I love it!

This episode was ok, the music was nice, and the bear was really creepy when he was walking blink by blink lol.

Can't wait for next episode, finally the guy who is fighting Shino in the opening is appearing.

This episode was good. I liked it pretty much, I thought Usakuma was cute.

I wonder why this anime isn't that popular. It's kind of disappointing, because it's actually pretty good.

I REALLY liked the insert song! This episode was ok, because it focused on Hamaji, my least favorite character... The other episodes made me fangirl more (>3<) heheh
The bannin was...!!! Interesting! Hehehe

Slice-of-life-ish episode, but the part about the "scary" ghost was well done imo. It really cracked me up.
I'm loving the OP and ED, hopefully they're mastered well... If that's not the case it'll be an one-way trip to the recycle bin.

Oh Kaname, why are you so cute? Getting so gloomy. Him and Hamaji are adorable together.

I want a plushie of the guardian.

Also, I couldn't help but giggle during the preview. Kobungo you dork.

That was actually kind of sad. Her first real friend there wasn't even real.

It's not popular because some people saw 1 or 2 episodes, called it yaoi and dropped it.

Certainly an odd assortment of characters in this show. Kinda neat how Hamaji figured out quickly about the 'rabbear' Suzu and was cool with that.

I think Shino and the crow have the same VA. The songs of the Usakuma seems to describe the secret of each person it encounters, I think that's what disturbed Keno.

I actually enjoyed this episode compared to every other episode. I found it a bit sad, yet Hamaji still smiled in the end.

Kinda wished she would meet with the guy who seems to be her brother from the previous episode already.

I thought so as well in the beginning, but then the crow's strange noises began to resemble Bakuman's Niizuma Eiji, so yeah it's actually Nobuhiko Okamoto who voices the crow, not Shino's VA :D

I quite liked this episode and it's plot twist with Hamagi's roommate :o!
I do kinda wish the story would get back more on topic, unless that's foreshadowing for a second season, that is ;)

I loved the song in the background, the lyrics are pretty awesome I wonder if an OST is released for this anime. I should probably check it-

Genpachi wanting to buy a stuffed animal for Shino is just adorable, he really has some sort of crush huh? He's taking it seriously too.

So Shino wished for it and thus she found a guardian friend xP hehe I really liked the songs the guardian sang. The other half of Sousuke's soul must be the one that killed Keno's family and the one that Keno wants to kill.. awwww nooo :(

Can a plushie toy be scary? Yes, yes it definitely can!

Me too! That song's lyrics actually have meaning behind them, and it's related to the person it's singing to.

I don't know but I felt a little sad as well in the last scene with Hamaji.

5/5

Insignificant to the story, perhaps, but the episode is so pleasant and melancholy, and it is always well decorated with drawings and OST engaging.
Sou-chan heartthrob!
They are much more inclined to promote that give a negative vote, because I liked it too! How many laughs I am made when I saw the sketch of Shino! XD

A bit scary but nice lullaby.
Either way it was a bit confusing, as to why that 'Guard' would be no human but some spirit that were to keep the girls safe when they were in need one by one?
