Well, it's feeling a lot more like the manga now. Looks like the rest of the series will be focusing on the Kagura and Yomi relationship, as well as


Episode 4 gets a 5/5 from me, and I love the OP and ED sequence.

Good opening.

This series is starting to look like a good series... Though ep 1 was horrible, and ep 2 wasnt much better.

Good visuals, great soundtrack paired with weak and cliched plot...oh well, I'll switch my brain off when watching this anime. 3.5/5

what the? 180 degrees genre change from the first two episodes.

I wouldn't say it's good, but it's definitely more enjoyable this way

love the anti-demon boiler XD

The spider demon reminds me of "war of the worlds"
Yes, there was the bad censor (that's one straight line of steam)
then there was the tentacle rape, which was uncalled for..

The story finally begins, The animaton for the OP was very good even though both songs are quite bad. Kagura's father's release of Byakuei didn't look as good in the episode itself.

Fun episode, as others have stated the OP is excellent, and I absolutely can't get enough of it. I enjoy it, it may be a little cliche, but it's not that bad. Arguably the best soundtrack of the season so far. With any luck, people may start translating Ga-Rei after this, too.

I am one of the people that really liked the first two episodes purely for the mind screw factor. I don't hate this episode but I'm disappointed that the show seems to be moving away from it nature, which despite the over-the-top action, was fairly serious. The jokes seem really out of place to me. I realize that humor is a good way to get the audience attached to the characters, but does the swordsmith really have to be naked? It's not really funny.

As far as knowing the ending ruining the series, I completely disagree. Finding out what happened to Brandon Heat in episode 1 of Gungrave didn't stop the series from being incredibly awesome. It's interesting finding out how all these people got there. I just hope we find out more about the cast from episode 1 and not focus solely on Yomi and Kagura.

So, fanservice episode.

And WTF was that monster at the beginning, a Strider? I felt like it went from Japan to the outskirts of City 17.

Michael-sensei was just stupid and annoying during his first 60 seconds. But after that, I kinda got used to his appearance and funky accent. I think he's supposed to be some American Japfanatic (otaku, maybe?) who makes weapons, cosplaying as a 16th century peasant.

Looks like I am the only one not liking it.
I just can't like having 2 girls in school uniforms fighting for no apparent reason whatsoever. Ep1 was awesome, it looked like something different, and then it went back to classic japanese show, quite sad...for me at least, since everyone else seems to enjoy. Maybe I am just requesting too much :)

She just mentioned about valuing your life more cause you don't think there is no consequences with Ga-Rei Nue??? GUESS WHAT....demons and evil always want a sacrifice.......so I am not surprised if Yomi sold herself to evil!

Maybe that's why she is easy to control through demons that might belong to the same family as Nue.

An OP finally! The song is a win for me, can't stop listening to it. Fighting w/ an iron. Some plot unfolding. The yuri & fanservice are a plus, but I felt they were kinda forced fanservice. Wonder if this series is going the way of Berserk & showed us the end of a series & then shows up what lead up to it?

4/5 & win for the OP, animation & soundtrack.

Edit: & Aero is doing a good job w/ the subs.

yay, finally an opening and ending
so im guessing the ppl in the orange jumpsuits in episode 1 are nothing right?
why the hell did they show part of that guy's past if he was gonna get killed right from the start? STOP SCREWING WITH MY MIND

im thinking that there's gonna be a 2nd season since this is ZERO and manga is about the girls

pretty good episode but i have to admit that this is looking like another supernatural anime fighting against evil spirits.. o well
-_- michael-sensei...
and i would have soooo picked the chainsaw .. what was she thinking lol

Thats mainly because the people that read the manga bitch and scream about how the show doesn't follow it or how the show has original content in it that explained something different from the manga. The people that haven't read the manga have no idea what to expect so they base their feelings and expectations off the first few episodes. If a show diverges from those first few eps then those people flip out, at least some do.

Personally I loved the beginning episodes simply because the "heros" are real people and can die. I hate most supernatural shows where the main character or characters have power that somehow allows them to survive fatal blows or injuries. As for the current episode, I still liked it a lot since their pulling a Godgrave type story. I love seeing a flash back type story only to learn in the end that the main character is about to die. It gives a sense of "will this happen to be when I'm about to die" type feeling (ie. flashbacks of your life).

So far I think the shows one of the best of the season.

You know, that honestly shocked me too. Not to say that upsets me or anything, I'm quite glad, especially since sMi appears to be defunct.

I still really frickin hope this inspires someone to translate the manga (unless someone really is, and I can't find it, and if they are can you point me in the right direction?), because I'm afraid I may have a mental breakdown of they don't.

Well, that's mostly due to the fact it's becoming quite apparent that the first two episodes were the end of the GRZ, which takes place sometime before the manga plot begins. It's only a 13 episode series, so we should be rapidly approaching the return of a lot of action. They were even talking about how there were more disturbances lately in this episode, so it's only natural that the action increases little by little. At the same time however, since it's a prequel their creative writing room is a little small, so it's explaining the leadup to why Yomi ended up where she did in those first few episodes and giving more of a backstory to Kagura. The action'll be back shortly, if not... I'm wrong :D

One word: Disappointed.

I was expecting so much from this show, I was looking forward to every single episode and then... I get this. Gave it a 2/5. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a 1/5 was the OP and the fight scene.

I really thought this would be the show of the season. Anyways, still hoping for the characters in the 1st episode to return. Yomi's really cool but I liked them a lot more. Kagura's rather boring.

I'm going to watch a few more episodes to give my final verdict.

If this episode is "like the manga" then I'll definitely have to stay away from the manga.

After 3 pretty cool episodes, this one was extremely typical. Hated Kagura's whole, "Oh noes! I can't kill these zombies because they used to be human!" thing. That scenario comes up way too often in anime. The excessive fanservice was kind of annoying too.

Pretty good episode, don't see why people are hating, but oh well, everybody's different.

Yeah, the "I can't fight the zombies because they used to be human" stuff was cliche and all, but oh well. I really want to see why Yomi turns evil. >:|

And finally, an opening. Also, the kissing scene/"You have a tight ass" part was good for a laugh.

Aero is doing quite a good job actually, and they have decent release speeds, so. :D

loving EVERY episode, including this one! I thought Michael-sensei was just hilarious ^^ And the opening - I just had to rewatch it a few times. Now I wonder when the manga's main character's gonna pop up, that is, assuming the production team wants to make him the main protagonist.

and yup, really curious about why Yomi became evil. I want the week to speed up!
