Really don't feel like we needed a flashback episode to show where those two came from. It was at least fun to see some new yokai.

Finally, the reveal! They took their time getting to it this episode. I feel like the pacing has been very slow for the past couple episodes. I mean, it's certainly better than if they rushed through things, so I won't complain. That said, I do want to go back into the manga and see how many chapters they're doing per episode. Still very happy with this adaptation.
Lol, they love using the blood on the shirt to turn him into Santa. Also, someone needs to keep an eye on Shiori at all times, because she is making those bombs way too fast. Maybe she'll turn out to be an elf! Anyway, this show continues to be buck wild and I love it. The animation is a fantastic adaption of Paru Itagaki's fantastic style. Can't wait till next week!
I had forgotten about that twist! Ugh, they really are killing it with this show. It is so satisfying to see all the scumbags be annihilated. Can't wait for Godwin's turn next week!
Well now I'm fully bought in. This show seems to be so well put together. Hopefully the payoff by the end continues the trend, but for now I'm all in. The character interactions are excellent and tense. It feels like everything is slowly building. If they are able to tie in all the threads, this will truly be an amazing mystery show.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite short form animes. It's just so human and chill. Although it might not be winning awards for the animation, it's so much better than expected. Looking forward to this one next week!
I know that he has a lot of shockingly violent films. Almost snuff-esq from what I've heard. Though I've never seen any, I know that Ichi the Killer is well known for a disturbing amount of violence.
Now I feel silly for having high hopes for this show. I'm all for them highlighting the different relationships that they have in the future with the whole ehlsea stuff, but it turns out it is really just an excuse to have a harem. I feel like a harem (or should we say ehlsea) ending could work within the culture of the world, but if that's all there is to this story, it will be truly disappointing. Hopefully they will wrap up this whole incest mafia boss polycule storyline and show more of the admittedly interesting world they made.
Another Thursday, another good episode. I think this week's episode was a little bit slower than the previous two, but we finally got the concrete backstory for Hinako. We basically already knew everything, at least broadly, but at least Shiori knows now. Very excited to have Miko pulled more into the story. I think the relationship between the three of them is the strongest part of this story, so I'm looking forward to next week. Still wishing this one was adopted more in a way that The Summer Hikaru Died was rather than a standard adaptation, but I'm just so glad we're getting this adaptation at all.
Been like half a week since I watched this episode and I can't remember much about it... Probably means that this show will be a drop soon from me. I just remember being disappointed by the way this premise was used. The escalated way too hard in the first episode, and showed that everyone in the show is just an idiot. Now, that can be fun, but it makes the conceit of the show suddenly lose all stakes. The gags aren't funny enough, there is no chemistry between the leads, which makes the "romance" creepy at best, and the one conceit that pulled me in has no stakes at all since the guy could probably watch her lose an arm, bleed out, and then cry to the butler that she's out of oil.
Sigh, I had forgotten how annoying this story was. The guild members are kind of fun at first, so that's something. But unfortunately, everyone and everything have to point back to how Sam is the most important person ever. I had to laugh when they literally pulled an "and then everybody clapped" moment when they were talking. I think I'm going to drop this one now. Guess I'll leave it at Sam airing her grievances and just assume that no more drama occurs, and it all works out.
Another good episode. Although I think the flashback scenes taking up what felt like more than half the episode is a bit much, I'm still staying enraptured by this show. Also love that Miko's true form is still creepy as hell and not some cutesy fox. Now that that big secret is out, I'm looking forward to some more spooky yokai to show up. Looking forward to next week!
