----------------------------------------
Pretty decent episode.

Interesting to see Zadan jutsu used by Ouri. Now we see that Ouri is no longer useless and managed to destroy few Keisei puppets.

Makina's new power seems a bit overpowered, but at least Ouri will suffer the consequences if overused. But taht makes two of the Shichisei destroyed...

lol at boob queen becoming shikabane. She fell under the power of the balloon Shichisei, which is to manipulate people's heart. But interesting to not that one of Ouri's friend was very sharp and noticed right away that there is something wrong with her.....

The face Saki made was really priceless....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

This episode was pretty jumbled. It feels like they tried to do way to much, and as an effect, it skipped around a lot and didn't come off as cohesive.

Other than that it wasn't a bad episode. Oori all of a sudden using Zadan techniques was necessary, and the explanation was lame enough, that I'll just accept it. I'm interested to see how this will all end now that we're halfway through.

Strange episode overall, there were very good scenes with great direction and the usual dark atmosphere really well rendered, and also really lame scenes with cheap animation and problems of coherence. But developments, especially those concerning Oori and O-mune sama, were good. I only wish they had a bigger budget and could do this series properly (like a GAINAX only production for example), I'm pretty sure it could turn out much better than it already is.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

@wakka9ca - Booby queen isn't a shikabane or even dead yet. The Shichisei wrapped a balloon around her to manipulate her true desire which is death. This is why she asked Ouri to kill him....she's not dead yet.

This episode was pretty interesting. The head of the Kougonshuu is the only one that can make shikabane. I wonder if he knows about the cat :P. Another thing that seems to pop in my head every time I see him is that maybe he too is a shikabane or a similar living dead as the Shichisei. That would explain why he sides with the shikabane.

The cat is still a mystery. I still have a feeling Ouri made a contract with it on accident when he was a kid. But then again after finding out that the head of Kougonshuu is the only one that can make shikabane this leads me to believe that if Ouri did make a contract with it, then maybe he too has the power to make shikabane. However if the cat is not contracted to him then it's most likely a living dead similar to the Shichisei. We have no way of telling if the cat is bad or good at this point. We can only assume that it's trying to help Ouri because they made a "promise" about something.

It's hard to tell what the cat really is. Considering that Ouri is the only one who can see it, I tend to believe it's somehow a "part" of Ouri. It only appeared after Ouri started coming out of his coma-like state. Perhaps it's a buried personality or some unknown power that has taken form.

Is everyone forgetting Makina could see the cat?
I could have sworn she saw it when Oori had it with his bike a few episodes back (by few that could me 7 or 8).

I think this episode is most romantic of whole SH.
And, you know, it is one of the best anime episodes I've ever seen. May be not in TOP-5, but TOP-10 definitely.

Finally, Oori starts calling Makina by her first name. About damn time.

I always wondered what Kasuga's (the highschool girl with a crush on Makina) purpose was in this anime. She's so stupid getting herself killed and turning into a corpse. I wish she would've listened to Makina's advice in season 1.

He is probably the most disturbing one of the Sichisei in my opinion. He needs a bullet to the brain. Doctors orders.

wow ouri actually beating the bad guys up and using his head. This transfer body guy sure isint the sharpest tool. I mean why leave all your extras out in the open. So this dude was a psycho who killed a bunch of pretty people to make the perfect body. Oh noes balloon demon person got to the crazy big boob girl. ha at saki poking fun at as its out wish line. Im guessing rika had a thing for keisei to. well big boob lady is undead now and killing people. well thats alot of blushing from both sides. I guess ouri was feeling he cant replace keisei.

Huh. In that monk assembly, you could tell which characters were important to the show if they had hair.

I hope MC doesn’t go the talking bullsh*t route with Nozomi… she clearly made her choice and she even got innocent people involved & killed, hope MC & Makina put her to rest for good.

I like the development between Makina and Ouri, but ugh Nozomi is gone for good now.
