Dat bike.

Ah, Touji and his past sure wasn't pretty. I guess being a former delinquent was never pleasant anyways. Oh shit, his new form though...Time for some falcon punches. I bet Touma would be proud.

Kagami's familiars were unexpectedly humorous. A bit reminded me of karasu tengu from xxxHolic. Interesting to see the building that had appeared in Devil Survivior 2 as well.

I'd like to see Toji going fully berserk sometime.

Nice ep :)

Damn that beginning was just pure brutal with how Touji beat the hell out of Harutora O_O...Really surprised that Harutora didn't get scarred for life after that happened XD

The fight between Ogre Touji and Harutora was pretty awesome. For once I thought Harutora was cool with his preaching and his trust that Touji won't punch him and how he was smiling throughout hehe. Lol'd at how he punched his lights out after Touji got everything under control. Poor Touji XD

Shit seems to be getting real on Natsume's side. But the Divine generals seem like BAs so this shouldn't be that much of a problem. Let's see hoe they kick ass nxt.

Flying Kon was cute as usual <3

I liked Touji full orge form. It looks just like my boy from Onimusha Dawn of Dreams. Episode was good its finally past the manga.

This is who Touji looks like.

I find this show very boring and unenjoyable plus i find almost the whole main cast extremely unlikable they really just suck and so does this show makes me sad that this got a 2 cour season when its not good in the slightest. so many better choices out there. Also the whole friends forever shit is so cheesy and lame makes me want to vomit.

Well, at least Touji didn't go on a rampage when wondering through town on his ogre form, but stopped by the power of his friend, Harutora.

Things are getting intense on Natsume's perspective view.

It seems as though all the drama built up from Touji being an ogre went out the window, unless of course something happens later. I don't know why but something Harutora said made me curious. 'I'm too old to be caught up in your youthful passions'. Could this be foreshadowing something? Harutora's not exactly old so it seemed a little odd. Maybe I'm just over thinking it.

Houji's ogre form looked like a Samurai.

Good episode, it shows the kind of dynamic relationship that Harutora and Touji have. Harutora can be liken to panacea that allows Touji to retain his humanity and cope issues. It's also helps that Harutora isn't the kind of person to filch at an Ogre.

The new Divine General that showed up Zenjirou Kogure seemed like a pretty chill guy and much more approachable then Kagami.

Those Tengus actually look to belong to Zenjirou going by they dialogue.

His problems with the Ogre spirit aren't over. Harutora didn't cure him, only brought back to his senses. He just puts it straight to Touji, keep struggling to win over it so he still live the life that he has now, if not for himself then everyone he actually cares about.

It was a good episode. I loved the conflict between Harutora and Touji it really shows their true bonds as friends. Though I really kind of wanted to see Touji fully transform into the Ogre and become the first creature that Harutora had to seal. (I might be a bit messed up) Though if it does happen at least this forms contrast.

The part at the end left a nice cliffhanger for us to wait for.

Those Tengus reminded me of Nurarihyon no Mago ;p episode was OK, just wished to see some more power coming from transformed Touji. His ogre form looked little pointless. Anyway the opening scene was quite surprising with all that blood. Can't wait for the next episode.

A little cheesy, but I liked the scene between Touji and Harutora at the end. At least now we know Touji's not just some one-dimensional character who makes snarky comments all the time. And Harutora isn't so dumb after all!

Pretty sure that's not how blood splatters unless his head were completely crushed like a pancake. Meh.

Who do you think you are Touji? Date Masamune?

Touji sure is emo. That's teen angst for ya. Harutora's "Youthful passions" was quite the apt description.

It's official, the twelve divine generals are way more interesting than our lameass main characters. Another wasted potential in which perspective to show of a universe.

Touji's getting more interesting, thankfully, and I'm glad to hear that he was actually a delinquent. His ogre form's pretty disappointing, though. I'm not really surprised that this anime just decided "ogre" means a bishie gets some glowy eyes and new long hair, and the face veins were a nice touch that most anime wouldn't bother to add, but the fact that a demon taking over your body would leave it looking mostly bishie is fucking dumb. I was at least hoping for some body changing, fangs too big for his jaw to sustain, shit like that. Bishies just... staying bishie when they're meant to becoming monsters is such a pet peeve of mine. Can't they at least look like monsters instead of the same skinnyass girl-baiting pretty boys? jfc

The episode ending was signalling this anime going downhill again, with all this ~*~power of friendship~*~ bullshit. Some of the episode seemed to start distracting from actual action for... pretty much no reason, too. Did we really need to see a flashback about giving Touji sweets literally about 30 seconds after that actual scene took place? No, we didn't, and it dragged on long enough for me to groan at the screen and audibly complain about it. Thank fuck for that ponytail guy and his rampant spirit disaster unleashing.

This anime's definitely getting better though, but the start was still shit, no matter what delusional diehards are gonna shout about it for the second time in two weeks lol. Get a hobby, this anime's not perfect, and I'm gonna say my opinion for as long as it's still somewhat worth watching.

Oh, okay. I didn't see your post before, now I really want to see Kagami's familiars. Kagami seems the best Divine General to me currently but that could change soon, we still have atleast 8 more to be introduced.

Personally, I like that Harutora's not particularly strong. It's nice to have a protagonist who isn't super powerful and goes around always owning his enemies. It's not often you have that in an action genre.
