I thought this was a pretty freaky episode, especially the part in the beginning where that "tall black thing" kept reappearing and running in front of a truck, I would of been freaked out too if I saw something like that happen in real life lol:P
I also found it really interesting how Masayuki was able to blast that "tall black thing" through his game even though he was having an out-of-body-experience.
And oh yeah first it was the counselor that started seeing things and now Masayuki's dad as well, things are getting more interesting, I'm really looking forward to the next episode^^,

Yeah, pretty strange

"weapon select"

And wossname going into beast form.


Funny how they mentioned Richard Wiseman at the end, because I just listened to the SGU podcast only a few hour before seeing this episode and they had him on as a guest. Cool guy.

Strange episode. What's up with the lady who's always spaced out playing video games at Masayuki's house? I wonder if she's his mother or his sister?

Oh my god, freaking awesome episode! It looks like theyr'e going to become a bit more functional in their spirit bodies after all. Very odd how masayuki blasted that guy, then got beat up later on thinking hes tough. xD As always, can't wait to see more from this series. Very interesting that all of a sudden other people are starting to see things. The guy running into the street is one thing, he seems to be tied to that location repeating his death, but the stuff at the end of the episode was just weird.

That was such a wicked episode. It really freaked me out, and that doesn't happen very often. I love where the plot is going and it just seems to be getting better and deeper.

lol windy didnt' notice that >.<, that could finally be the dog i was wondering about for a while D:, also i don't think masayuki thought he was touch, just he took the beatings because he didn't want to see a repeat, or similar, of his past. the whole episode was full of win

Awesome episode.
Ghost hound form and Masayuki video game powers were great. Wonder what kind of powers Makoto will get... Badass ghost guitar sound wave blasts?
And normal people starting to see things from the other world is definitely strange.

Can'twait to see more, that's for sure.

Great episode; there were some really freaky scenes and a good amount of badassery coming from Tarou and Masayuki.

I thought at first that the brown dog-like creature in Episode 8 was a "Ghost Hound", but that doesn't seem to be the case. Moar Miyako please.

Great episode. The black giant running into the truck got kind of irritating after a while. And damn, Tarou's 'ghost hound' form looks cool ^^

I also wonder how the guy who got 'cursed' in the beginning looks like now after his hair cut =]

That was a weird episode. I'm also glad that the story seems to be picking up. So hopefully the introduction of weird interesting things episode are at an end now and the plot will finally go somewhere. I'm also glad to see Masayuki attempting to make a fresh start, standing up for his classmate.

Now that was pretty awesome. I totally love the characters, Tarou is so cute but his Ghost Hound transformation was really unexpected and interesting. I love how Masayuki managed to kill the ghost with his game weapon. There is definitely something at work here, and it appears to be influentiating a lot of different people. This show has really gone beyond my expectations.

Whoa so the fault now is not on the individual, it's Suiten itself that's strange. Why the transformation, btw? I'm still pretty shocked at how their astral bodies could suddenly do unexpected things.

Still want more info on both Makoto and Masayuki's background. WTH is wrong with Masayuki's mother anyway. Moar wanna see moar.

Probably my favourite episode so far.
And yeah, I'm thinking that there's more to the 'ghost hound' title than just a reference to that ghost animal.

HOly SHIT

That was fucking awesome. So in the "soul" form, they can actualise thoughts/memories and can change their forms based on emotions. Interfesting. But now I see why it's shounen, or at least the manga is.

Story is going nowhere so far, but all this knowledge is always welcome.

The scene at the beginning was pretty creepy for anime standards,other than that there were some weird and confusing stuff going on, of which I can't make out much. Maybe it's not good to watch a show like this after 4am xD.

I've just finished episode 9, but I'm kinda lost. Where did they find out that Sukua is the culprit? Who is Sukua? Can you point me out which episode and at about what time? I tried to find in episode 7 and 8 but I don't find that. Thank you for your help

I still don't understand what's going on with Masayuki's family.

That spirit encounter was kind of weird with how Masayuki suddenly shot a fireball or whatever that was. I'm getting the feeling that the mountain has a unusually strong magnetic field around and that's why all these things are happening to this village.

Sukua is supposedly the kidnapper but when the cops found him in the building, he ran away and was killed not long ago by a passing truck so the case was closed. Now he is stuck to that place. But I still have my doubts if he is really is the kidnapper so I'll have to see.

Those are some interesting powers their spirit forms get. They can transform or invoke video game powers seemingly at whim. Masayuki's family is odd. His mother/sister (not sure which it is, guessing sister) is transfixed with tetris while his father seems to be hallucinating spirit larva or the like.

The more the shows avoids giving them super powers to fight lame ass fights against other ghosts, the better. Aside from that, it was a pretty good episode, like the rest of them so far.
