This story is beyond confusing. Can anyone who's read the manga care to explain what they're doing wrong here?


1. Discarded key events from the manga
2. Mangled the order of other events
3. Nerfed the ecchi parts and instead introduced gratuitous gore that isn't in the manga
4. Disregarded the important part of the plot and gone for a pretty generic treatment which will undoubtedly have an anime original ending

So basically screwed it up completely--read the manga, it doesn't have that many chapters and it is ongoing.
Please don't feed the trolls!

All of that being said, I have to disagree with everyone who says that Suseri is better than Sakuya. She is better in no ways at all, unless you're judging solely on the size of her rack. Sakuya may be childish/immature, but so far Suseri has proven to be completely clueless- I mean her actions since her first appearance have been nothing but stupid decisions stacked on top of bad stupid decisions. She rolls in all tough, "I can handle anything and everything all on my own", doesn't bother to follow common sense or proper procedure, and when she starts getting her ass handed to her the only answer she has for everything that goes wrong is begging some guy she's just me to kiss her over and over again. Purple hair and big tits does not a good character make.


So in other words, a less annoying Sakuya... They both suck at their job, they both rely on Shinichirou to be of any use at all, and they both have a disregard for the lives of others. That said, Suseri isn't a bitch, so by default she's better.

Also, hating on the only likable character in the show so far, Tamako, invalidates your opinion.

Is Sakuya the same in the manga? Because she's a much bigger issue to my enjoyment of the show than the plot. It wouldn't matter if the plot was Shakespearean in the manga if Sakuya is still incredibly annoying.

Dear god ... I feel like every week Sakuya gets worse and worse D: They've kissed practically every episode already ... ugh >_< Not to mention THEY WERE FACING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER HOW THE HECK DID THEY MANAGE TO KISS ON THE LIPS OTL Makes sense her true name is Isuca since it's the title of the anime and all, but ugh ... I wonder if that guy who gave her the bird is her father? Obviously the ring has got to mean something ...
Well at least we know how Shinichirou can find people's true names now ... by kissing them :P At this point I'm glad we're halfway done ... maybe they can TRY to salvage what's left in the remaining episodes?!

Just call me weird...Sakuya has very nice body :)

I hope Sakuya would have a better personality later. She is annoying, but attractive :)

For a show with 10 episodes, I get that it has to be cut down and rearranged to fit with the time given, but why the need to introduce so many useless no-name characters (both humans, and monsters-of-the week) that are only there to either get killed or be mutilated immediately after? This feels like Ga-Rei Zero all over again. It's like they intentionally making every episode a freaking filler with only hints of the source material sprinkled in.

The manga had blood, sure; but never this much goddamn gore or useless fodder in it. Though granted, it seems like they swapped out the some of the fanservice with excessive violence that wasn't as prevalent--both of which is needless, but without either, this show doesn't really have much going for it.

Ok, so he found out her true name...which is Isuca. Also apparently the birds name is also Isuca....but wait. The main villain girl is ALSO listed as Isuca on the character list.

...how many fucking Isuca's are there in this show?
One's true name is based on one's own innermost feelings and desires. Isuca is the name of the bird, and it bears a special meaning to Sakuya, while also representing her desire for freedom.
The villain is also connected to the Shimazu family, and her name probably stems from the nature of that connection. Therefore, it likely means that there's a deeper connection between Isuca and Sakuya.

And if you think this is silly, wait until you hear Suseri's true name :P


Suseri's true name isn't Isuca too right? *fingers crossed*

Arrived in episode 5, I realize I follow the series only for Tamako which is the only consistent character of the series, apparently... but we don't see much and it's unfortunately not very useful for the story.

Of course I have to talk about the ecchi which is particularly embarrassing and stupidly introduced into the series in almost tragic scenes (after a person is killed in a car controlled by a demon)
And every time Shinichirô accidentally slips on a girl, his head touches the breasts or girl's ass.

The story is full of inconsistencies, for example in episode 4, why the western witch doesn't kill them when she could do it?
And in episode 5, everyone is surprised when the teacher declares that Shinichiro has the ability "to reveal the demon's names, while each of the girls asked him this same question in previous episodes.

Horrible episode, there were so many things wrong with this I don't even know where to start. Not even some good fanservice to enjoy at least something. Also can somebody kill that blonde bitch already, what an annoying brat...

So, Isuca was Sakuya's real name? It must be really difficult for her letting a strange guy suddenly became so close like that and controlled you by knowing your real name. The male MC was so aggresive on this episode, became more curious to kissed someone. Ah, the rest of the episode was so painful to be watched, i must aggree. Especially with that spider shit trap, easily trapped them all like that. The plot decision on that scene was too forced. If only the situations of a stupidity not happened to be like that, Isuca name couldn't revealed as easy as like that, and the MC characteristic never expected to be worst than garbage like that. Oh well. Even they forgot about the sword from their previous episode. Lmao.

Sakuya pantsu, once again, never erased like any other uniform she wore. Its really dissapointed with that decision too. Because, its just only their chance to make the ecchi tag keep hanging. I take back my statement from some of the previous episode. This show is so bad when talking about the story wise, characterization wise, and my enjoyment. The only good thing was their forcefully fanservices. Even if it just openned with a half effort, so far. The art, animation, and sounds somehow just reach a so-so level. Whatever. I just want to finished this asap. Lmao.
