This last episode was truly awful. The comedy is the only thing it's still got going for itself but this horrendously cliché plot, with the recent addition of "they might ninjas" coupled with the most basic mary sue's/gary stu's characters is really getting to me.

I like how they handled this episode, the switch from Slice of Life to something.. weirder.. was really well done, my interest has been peaked. This has quickly become my favourite show of the season.

Kind of a bland episode.. loved seeing Kobeni and her telling Hakuya's different "faces" apart lol. And some development behind Hakuya's family? Wonder if it has something to do with dogs...

I'm glad this series didn't end up being a generic RomCom SoL. (It helps that Benio is pretty much allergic to RomCom clichés.)

I thought that this was just going to be a regular love-comedy, with slice of life, I'm surprised that there is supernatural elements in here too.

I can't believe how late I was watching this. Anyway this episode was quite nice. They transitioned the light hearted comedy into what we see now rather smoothly.

You don't honestly want that in the show itself do you? I'm fine with it being in the opening so long as the show itself doesn't have too many of those moments. Honestly the show does fine without them.

Wow, I can't believe so many people are surprised by the revelation that they're neither humans nor aliens. I thought it was clear from episode 2 that they are dog spirits.

I mean it keeps showing that their home in the mountains is a shrine, and when she remembered in episode 2 she said "who was there with me?" or something along those lines and it showed the figure of a dog. Also a lot of times it's shown Mashiro "wagging" her hair like a dog wags its tail, and her hair looks kinda like dog ears (of course that's not uncommon in even normal anime but still it adds to the signs). Episode 3 she also said something about there being something fluffy at that time.

It must just be because the title and opening/ending is misleading that it's so surprising for most. Could be because I watched it all at once, but it was mainly episode 2 that made it seem like they're dogs, and of course the fact that she kept relating him to a dog this episode.

Anyway, I'm guessing it's the girl in the kimono who's going to be coming to check on things... or the girl with the camera which would be pretty funny.

Putting this on-hold.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

5/5

Another good episode, the jokes while being soothed clash so much with the environment seriously as to suggest that they are almost fabulous.
Plot that takes a very favorable way to the many detractors who were looking for a story in which the main protagonist was the relationship between Kobeni and Hakuya.
Narration nice, I enjoyed mote times during the episode.
Drawings and animations of a good standard, sin backdrops are not as flashy as well as to hear the context participant in the story.

The story has gotten a lot better, now we're knowing what happened. Some great development between Kobeni and Hakuya.

In that case, Hakuya made it even better with that arrow catch.

Hakuya reminds me of Ryuuji from Toradora who everyone thought he was bad because of his weird eyes xD

They had some cute moment. I'm glad that they got closer.

What's about their family? Are they in the mafia or what?

Exactly what I thought.....but I didn't want to accept it because.....I think it doesn't fit with this kind of Anime somehow. I mean, they presented a normal RomCom, but then it will turn like this?? It's alright with me though, and if they are really half werewolves or something like that, it's funny how Mashiro is scared of aliens ahahaha. The English translation of the title is also "Engaged to the Unidentified" which is saying something, right??

Lol so wolf-people? I mean wasn't it a bit weird how Mashiro moved her hair on it's own in ep 3. I thought of it being like a dog's tail but until the episode ended I forgot about it. I wonder now.. xD. But I don't mind this twist.

nail in the head with 2 little flash back scene from EP 2

they're dogs of the family and were sent to kobeni's house b/c the guy (dog) is actually about to die from saving kobeni and wanted to be with her as long as possible

his wish was granted somehow so he's here with her but not for long..

I really liked the fever subplot and learning more about the incident. Sad that everyone blames themselves, especially Benio. No one's really responsible, but if I were to be in that situation the person I'd want to be the least is Benio since that basically started it all.

Also. Plot twist: Hakuya is actually the Flash and he and his sister have been trying to conceal his identity this entire time.

I understand that what happened to Kobeni in the past is what shaped Benio's siscon personality but i can't help but find her annoying as hell.

Benio and Nadeshiko have really good relationship, aren't they.. Well, if it's not one sided, though..
Why is that weird pause after Kobeni's remark that Hakuya runs fast..
Well.. At least we're learning more about Hakuya at last.. But he's still weird..
They are half-blooded?.. What?.. What is this - Harry Potter all of a sudden, and Hakuya actually has magic power to run fast or something?.. Well, probably, nah, but still what's the deal with blood..

Mayura early in the episode: "I wonder if Kobeni staying home is why Hakuya looks so down."

Her later in the episode: "What? I can't tell the difference between Hakuya's expressions."

Since this is used as a jumping off point to talk about how close Kobeni and Hakuya are getting (because she can read his expressions), is it too much to ask that the author puts a little effort and/or consistency in how they write the romance? Stuff like this puts me off so fast -- and Benio lampshading it by calling it a "love-comedy" development to dismiss it just makes it worse.
