It's weird how the first half of the episode is everyone being happy and going on with life, then a complete plot twist at the end. x.x

Deja-vu much? But now I' sure that they're not just filling the holes of the first arc,they're presenting a new one. And probably there will be more arcs! ^^
I have no idea how the end is going to be presented...I can't wait to finish this anime!! I'm intrigued o.O
Loving it too so far! I've never seen anything like this before :o

Whew this just keeps getting better... it definitely seems like a completely new presentation with the same characters, but will there be something that ties it together at the end?

And here we go again.D:
The whole curse thing changes a little with each "arc" it seems.
So I assume it's not in anyway based on any real place or shrine in Japan.

Here's the episode that proves this is a whole new arc. The storyline is pretty much the same what with the Shrine God and all. Shione is kind of annoying though. Not sure I see the point to her, except to make Mion jealous. I love how this arc and the last arc are basically the same, but is still just as enjoyable.

Interesting. I assumed last episode was a sort of time shift, but these events seem to be actually different. I wonder what exactly is going on with this narrative!

I think I'm understanding this a bit more.

It is a seperate arc, but the key factors still fall into place and its adding more information to the previous arc

like how they said that everyone in the town has demon blood in them that can be awakened in this arc. (unless they said in the first and I missed it)

I'm a bandwagon whore

Indeed I was wondering exactly the same, first I though it was a walkman or something but after a few looks you could clearly see it is a gun.

Anyway I'm curious how Keiichi will die in this arch :P

I liked the first "Arc" better, shion is scaring me XD
Its getting less gorey =O So I suspect they are going to hype up the gore again in the next few episodes :D
The cutesey episodes kinda annoy me now, they are too "Filler-ish" XD
but still, this anime is amazing!

I have a mess in my head because of that in the previous sections Keichi talked with a photographer at the river, in the evening about the Oyashiro-sama curse, and now? Now they talked about it in the afternoon.
Mion, Shion part is also weird. And Oishi, wasn't the first time they met in the school when they talked about the curse and his friends?
weird, weird....

This is my understanding, so far.

So in this story arc, sounds like Shion and Keiichi are going to be demoned away or something like that. But in their case, just for entering the shrine when they shouldn't have? Or more because they decided to keep Takano's intentions a secret? This is getting very interesting.

What is this Groundhog's Day?! It's like the same things are happening again, just with a slightly different twist. Most of all I don't understand Shion, she's acted incredibly weird this whole time. How do you know all about the curse and the consequences, but just so easily and openly walk into this situation. Not to mention Keiichi is acting like an idiot at this point. He was lead around so easily. There's no point in blaming Shion when they're obviously both in the same boat. Man up you moron, you're about to die!

By the way, anyone else annoyed that no one in this show seems to notice that Mion carries a gun with her?

But the suspense is building up, straight to the next episode I go :P

Um, yeah. There's a legitimate reason for it though, but you have to wait until the very end to know it.

Back to the suspense filled plot in this episode. I'm really interested as to what Takano has to do with everyone in the village because we don't really know anything about her up to this point.

Oooh, plot twist. Nice! Although it only increases my suspicions of Shion's involvement...and what the hell is up with Mion? She's like a totally different person! Guess I'll have to wait a few more episodes to see what's going on...
