Seeing her friend being sad about "losing her brother", she wishes (I used wish because it's part of the title) to search for him. So her dance is the key to break the seal.

Leviathan look-alike is souled one? Wow, his black wings! This time Himegami didn't possess her, and tamed it. Her mother sounds like Paku-san (and I was correct)!

I don't get what the guy said about the guy twins (about being alike). Could anyone explain it to me? (If NOT, then I will consider it not important at all because I don't plan to watch sub anyway))

FUUUDGE...

So much Miyuki and Izumiko scenes in here *-* I LOOOOOVED this episode.
So THAT'S WHAT IZUMIKO'S MOTHER LOOKS LIKE...No offense but she doesn't really look like Izumiko at all...:P But still, I loved this episode.

What happened at the end with Miyuki? He's talking about Wamiya and all that...then Izumiko is like "EHHH?!!?"

i think Miyuki is asking Izumiko to summon Wamiya because of he is curious why Wamiya and takayanagi looks alike .-.

I need moarr Izumiko x Miyki moments xD not satisfied with this one, i hope there will be more in the next 5 episodes~

Izumiko from this episode to present, Don't braid Your hair cause you look great with that epic long hair xDDD (since she can tame the himegami already)

Can someone explain to me why did Masumi turn to that giant snake like creature? I got the hint that his some part of that god and got reincarnated into Masumi but im not sure.

Also why did Izumiko's mother say they cant stay together? Im pretty sure that its because since they both can communicate with the goddess, its easier to kidnap them both together so they stay apart. Well thats what i get so far but some clarification would be good.

Kuzuryuu Ookami-9 heads dragon, is an ancient god land that been sealed inside the Heavenly Rock. One of its head stay outside and had a dream where it was human and that is Masumi. That also why Masumi staying around Masumi able to staying around as divine spirit. When the rock was unsealed, the head awaken from it dream, return to it body, thus Masumi will disappear. In the end Kuzuryuu follow Himegami's words and return to the rock. One of the head stay outside and continue to dream. But since Masumi stay as himself by have both Mayuara and Manatsu thinking the same about him, so from now on it depend to them if they can still think of him as before.

Izumiko and her mother can't stay together because both of them are Himegami's vessel and Izumiko's mother can control her power but can not retain her for much longer. If they stay together, Himegami will leave for Izumiko sooner but Izumiko as you see, far to ready for this.

I dont think he will normally have wings. It was him and the spirit/ raven/ Wamiya thing, that together helped Miyuki fight the crystal dragon.

I think Miyuki is a little jealous that Izumiko has a "type," and he doesn't fit it.

Overall a good episode that cleared up a lot of questions in the last episode, however it has also created some new ones.

That was Wamiya's wings. Wamiya give some of his power to Sagara. He want to follow Izumiko but can't take human from in Tokyo and Sagara want power to protect Izumiko so they join force. That why Sagara had also been expelled from the room by the purification dance in eps 7. Mayura's dad is a sharp person to relize there is something special about Sagara though that isn't his power.

So it wasn't Manatsu in the Celestial Rock but Masumi. Whoa Sagura has Wamiya's powers XD. Hmm Izumiko's mother sealed the Ookami. Glad Mamatsu returned. Same with Masumi. It is best for her mother not be around since their could only be one Himegami. What!!!? Izumiko likes people with Takayanagi's face. 0__0. Too bad for Sagura

Glad the twins problems have been resolved so hopefully we can get to the real meat of the story finally.
Glad to see Izumiko and Miyuki together and getting along alot more, though really, next to no indication of romance between the two. Hopefully it won't be one of those anime where the romance between the two mains happens in the final 2 minutes of the last episode.

Glad the triplet "arc" is over... next is all about izumiko and her becoming stronger and stuff, I guess. nice to see Izumiko's mom. When Sagara was commenting on how she's so cool, it would've been funny to see Izumiko become all jealous or something :P

I loved the Sagara wings they were epic >.<

SAGARA x IZUMIKO ahhh the romance is finally blossominggggg!! ^.^ EXCITEMENT!

Another slow episode for a slow show. Ah well, the sagara x izummiko romance is what I'm just waiting for, anyways. These slow episodes build up their relationships better. I think Sagara likes Izumiko. Seriously now though the show is starting to hint on it.

Not going to happen, there is a purpose keeping it bound up: it restricts the power of the god. This is why her braids burst when Himegami descends upon Izumiko. Much like Samson in the Bible, Hair in Japan contains a lot of spiritual power. This was why her trimming her bangs was such a big deal in the first episode.

Shaving one's head (for men) or cutting hair (for woman) is a means of apologizing in Japan. This is what happened to Watashi in Jinrui or that AKB48 member who was caught coming out of her boyfriend's apartment.

Suzuhara: ah, you have wings
Sagara: It's just your imagination

Not sure why people are "happy this arc is over." Seems to me there was a awful lot of development of the two main characters here. - This all had to happen somehow. To me the way it was done was pretty interesting.

And that was a very interesting line of questioning he was giving Suzuhara at the end there ;)

Nice episode :O the thing with Manatsu/Masumi was resolved rather quickly, and wow, was it just me or did that kuroyuu ookami (or whatever it's called) really pretty? And definitely wasn't expecting Izumiko's mother to be so cool haha. I love all the Miyumiko scenes <3 Looks like someone's a little jealous at the end. I'm looking forward to what's next, probably the last arc since we're already so far into this anime. Btw, did Izumiko's seiyuu sing the ED this time? It sounded much nicer than the original :D

So what was Manatsu's purpose in the end ? Was he just sad and wanted to get away from it all or ? Masumi said he didn't force him or anything but was he lying since they said he was trying to get away (the dragon thing). I don't understand if Masumi still exists and why he tried to break away or if it was even his fault...can somebody explain it to me ?

So Sagara and Wamiya join forces. That's cool.
And Izumiko's mom appears at last, out of nowhere (really) to save her by invoking Himegami. And then she goes away cause they can't stay close for very long (since they're both vessels).

Omfg, so much Miyuki x Izumiko shipservice, great. I loved this episode. Jeez, Manatsu's an idiot for thinking that way. I'm glad Mayura didn't do the typical thing and punch him on contact.

The end though. "Basically you like guys who look like Takayanagi, don't you?"

Why.

Miyuki.

Are.

You.

JEALOUS?

I'm glad to see the story (and the romance) is developing more. Can't wait for the next episode. I really love the ED though. I like both versions of it, but this one slightly better because her voice is just softer. Better than the OP (which I also like), imo. :3

I enjoyed the arc as a whole, mostly because I really liked the idea that Mayura and Manatsu had to think of Masumi the same for him to keep his form, how hard on Mayura that was because of the boys' stronger bond, and ultimately the decision Manatsu faced.

I really liked how the conflict played out in this episode, and watching the powers of the different gods and spirits between each other is just fascinating to me. It definitely could have used some better pacing and build-up though. There are some elements and concepts in this series that are just so promising, but the execution can be rather questionable. But I'm really liking how the characters are shaping up, particularly our two leads.

I loved the alternate version of the ED in this episode, by the way.

And this. I'm still grinning while typing here. I am loving the development between Miyuki and Izumiko. I'm really looking forward for the next episode. I used to wait for the hi-res version but seems I can no longer go back. :D

BTW, can anyone enlighten me how did Miyuki break into another layer/barrier, in following Izumiko where Manatsu is? Was it also with the helped of Wamiya? I know the wings was from Wamiya. So, does that mean their cooperation started from that scene already?

The characters and the story are intriguing enough to me that during my travel last week I finally went to buy the full set of the RDG novels, all six volumes of them. In fact the last volume only came out a few months ago and so has only hardback edition. Slipping through it only got me a bit puzzled. The event in this episode concludes volume 3 of the novel and the anime series has only 12 episodes. 8 episodes for 3 volumes means that the anime will end at the middle of volume 5 which could be quite awkward as the real climax only starts with the School Festival from volume 5 (volume 4 is about the preparation work). Ending the anime right in the midst of the festival arc seems odd . Now I really wonder how the anime is going to end... Is it going to rush through the climactic festival part of the story?

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

8 episodes in and still in development stage. I'm frankly surprised. I wonder how popular it is in Japan -- it doesn't feel like it's the type to garner huge sales and warrant a second season. Because this sure isn't getting a satisfactory ending in 4 episodes.

Well, no, that's not my point. My point was if the show's producers *plan* for a second season they don't have a particular need to 'wrap things up' with a first season final. Now, whether it sells well enough to justify a second season is a different matter entirely. But, just because the first season doesn't "sell" doesn't invalidate that the producers choose to not try to end the story at the end of the first season but instead plan to carry over to a second season.
