| 4/5 The series thanks to this episode resumes at large, even if the plot does not offer that much in terms of news and remains on a linear track and devoid of originality of its kind. Narratively something interesting you notice it, but on the occasion of the clash between Mana and Kurumi, the scene of bloody even if I wanted to look at it, too bad. Good also the starting point in the house of Shidou, one more point almost always deserve the series thanks to the drawings almost always cute and perfect, as well as the colors are really beautiful and hit the spot! I hope this bow is fun, but so captivating and not only characterized by the harem and ecchi lowered! |
 |
| the imouto quarrel was cute!! i hope Kotori will remain as Shidou younger sister instead one of his harem she's the best like now for me |
| that bitch wants the D |
| I think I'm in love. |

| Wonderful! When you look into her eye,you will always know what time it is ! |
| A heterochromic yandere? Sign me up! If she gets conquered...man I'm looking forward to seeing her all cute with Shido =P |
 |
| It has been decided Kurumi is best girl |
| Once Bitten, Twice Shy |
| one does not simply dislike the yandere girl. |
| I'm still not sold on the new spirit. |
| Yes. This girl is what this anime needs. |
 Zandatsu (斬奪 - "cut and take") |
| The new female soldier is one of the best AST soldier and she has killed a spirit. Well, that is . . . good? I do not know. I always imagine that all the spirits are just innocent entity that did not what to do. So, maybe it is bad? Another new spirit became a transferred student. I got the feeling that this spirit is one of the bad spirit. And considering that she has killed/ate several people, threatened to eat Shido . . . Yeah, she is definitely bad. Another little sister for Shido. That is surprising and confusing at the same time. So Shido likes durian fruit just like me. Nice taste you got there, Shido!

flame_tiong said: Perhaps the spoiler you read does not spoil that much then... When Origami asked Mana about the spirit that she so famously killed, there is a reason for her being ambiguous.. and this has to do with Kurumi being weak yet only apparently so. kinda "huh?!" when they show shido the video, i know the spoiler, but i didnt expect "that kurumi" was that weak, or mana was that strong... but more shockingly, i never expect such bloody scene in this series... Fallenkingzero said: I wonder what hype you heard about Kurumi then, because one of the oft-mentioned hypes is how she is a mass killer and yandere that can still pull you in without you knowing it. Well there was definitely way too much hype for Kurumi. Maybe she is better in the novel but she's definitely not what I was hoping for(sorry guys but her attitude toward those losers in the street repulsed me FallenGreek said: Think he watched it when it was being broadcast in Japan TV, via some keyhole TV feed. Without subtitle of course. Just bear in mind that there are people who love to catch an anime as quickly as possible for whatever reason, regardless of whether they speak the language.The episode was awesome.. but 1 question... How the hell did you watched the episode yesterday since the subbed version got released today? o.O |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change?

| i'm gonna love this arc... she finally appear... "full-blood siblings can't marry each other" -Kotori LOL xD |
symbv said: I wonder what hype you heard about Kurumi then, because one of the oft-mentioned hypes is how she is a mass killer and yandere that can still pull you in without you knowing it. She was hyped because she managed to break the tiring "monster of the week" format this series was approaching and she has her own hidden agenda thing going on. She is also not a yandere, but it seems that 90% of people on these forums can't seem to comprehend what it actually means. |
MarlyTT said: Hmm.. . I don't really see there is "monster of the week" in this series. The are arcs for each spirit that lasts a few episodes and so I do not see how it becomes tiring. If anything Kurumi is just the third arc here. The pattern is still there.

As for yandere, well, from the behavior she is taking now, there are clearly the dere part (very strong in fact) and then there is the yan part (all those killing, which is probably aimed at Shido as well), and I guess if we do not limit ourselves to a narrow definition of yandere, then the combination of yan and dere elements for Kurumi can mean she is a yandere character, though I would agree that her case does not fit into the orthodox definition of the term. |

It becomes tiring because it's formulaic- A spirit is introduced while being completely clueless about their surroundings, and it gets captured. Rinse and repeat. symbv said: As for yandere, well, from the behavior she is taking now, there are clearly the dere part (very strong in fact) and then there is the yan part (all those killing, which is probably aimed at Shido as well), and I guess if we do not limit ourselves to a narrow definition of yandere, then the combination of yan and dere elements for Kurumi can mean she is a yandere character, though I would agree that her case does not fit into the orthodox definition of the term. The correct term that you're trying to get at is a "yangire." I thought the implication was already pretty strong this episode that she doesn't actually 'love' Shidou in any sense of the word. As mentioned in the last part of the episode, she's after his power and plans on 'eating' him as she did with those thugs on the street. |
MarlyTT said: Maybe, but that does not mean she is not "monster of the week" that you were talking about. So far we see 3 spirits and each is a bit different from the rest. Even the first two share the part about "being new to the surroundings" but the two react to their situations in very different ways. And if just two, where only part of the story is similar, is enough to call it formulaic and tiring, I guess it would be really tiring for you to watch most anime. I understand you find the character of Kurumi much more appealing but I don't think it means you have to diminish the previous arcs at the same time.

Yeah, I know she does not actually love Shidou, but from an outsider's point of view, without privy to the revelation she is giving to people like Origami, she does indeed look like she has a crush on Shidou. And that is the dere part, at least she is giving the impression of being dere in public and on surface. |

I understand you find the character of Kurumi much more appealing but I don't think it means you have to diminish the previous arcs at the same time. Twice is fine, given that they have enough differences to justify it. Thrice not so much. Hence I initially claimed that the series was "approaching" that route with the 'tiring' and 'formulaic' route I was referring to, instead of claiming that it already was at that point. I suppose it also helps that the third spirit has an actual motivation to her actions, so it is a drastic change in what would've been otherwise 'tiring' and 'formulaic.' That being said, I suppose our standards for what would be categorized as a "monster of the week" are different. symbv said: Hm? Is "yangire" a Japanese term? I read Japanese anime blogs and forums all the time, and I don't recall seeing this term. "It is a portmanteau of yandere and kireru (切れる?) meaning to snap or lose one's temper, referring to a character who is mentally ill and snaps instantly without showing affection for the victim of their outbursts." symbv said: Yeah, I know she does not actually love Shidou, but from an outsider's point of view, without privy to the revelation she is giving to people like Origami, she does indeed look like she has a crush on Shidou. And that is the dere part, at least she is giving the impression of being dere in public and on surface. I suppose she does give that impression vaguely, but I feel that the fact she's obviously mentally not so well and her previous murderous actions (including the scene with the thugs) give more than enough context clue as to what she actually is getting at by her wording. |
MarlyTT said: Yeah, perhaps. I use "monster of the week" only when I watch shows like PreCure. And things would need to go really repetitive and similar to each other before I use strong words like "tiring" and "formulaic". I guess I just want to be generous when it comes to patterns in different arcs.

| I haaaaaateeeee Kurumi. Seriously. Since the first time I saw her. Although the bloody scene was amazing, I like when an anime presents a situation that I wasn't expecting. |

I didn't make it up myself- I wouldn't be so pretentious as to correct people with the term that only I would know since I made it up.

And I was just trying to explain why it is not really wrong for someone to say that she is a yandere kind of character because the behavior on the surface could give such impression. Fair enough. I guess I'm just too used to dealing with people who throw that term around in a case where it wouldn't be appropriate in any context. |
MarlyTT said: I guess I am. Back in the days when I watched Kamen Rider and Mazinger Z, that was the really formulaic "monster of the week", but later shows are much less likely to fall into such really repetitive pattern. Even Sailor Moon and PreCure would shift out of the "monster of the week" at some point in the series, but since they are long series, just the "monster of the week" part can easily take 15 episodes or more. That is when I would say the risk of getting tiring is real. Of course the same also applies to shounen battle series... For a midnight anime with 12-13 episodes like this, it is hard to get into such stage. Maybe you're just too used to it that you became more lenient about it. MarlyTT said: If among the many places you have seen it used there are Japanese sites, please let me know what they are because I am interested to find out more about this term and how it is used in Japanese context.I didn't make it up myself- I wouldn't be so pretentious as to correct people with the term that only I would know since I made it up.

| Kurumi seems to be quite the psycho. Mediocre episode overall. At least it was way better than last week's. |
 |
| http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteAndPsycho?from=Main.Yangire Basically,yandere is always crazy because of love,yangire isn't. Kurumi kinda missed the "obsessive love and jealousy" part so she fall more on yangire. |
| This series is going uphill and looks like that is going to be the trend. |

zakkun89May 15, 2013 8:44 AM
| Yeahhhh Kurumi! |
zakkun89 said: It gives a Japanese writing of the word, ヤンギレ, but does not provide any information about its usage in Japanese language setting. All I can derive is how the word should be understood when used in English language context. One thing though: Its example sentence mentions Higurashi, so it is possible that the word was once used by some anime fans in Japan when Higurashi was aired, but has since gone out of usage in Japan. I just did a search of Japanese sites using ヤンギレ and not only very few websites showed up, information about its definition all dated back to between 2006 and 2009 when Higurashi was at the peak of popularity -- I gus this backs up my postulation. And yet the word somehow limps on among western fans. Hence the word becoming more a western word than a Japanese word in terms of usage.This? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Yangire People rarely seen this word because it has always being grouped with yandere in general. |

| Fan service abound. But with Kurumi being introduced, it finally looks like we'll have an actual antagonist of sorts, which is great. She's killed so many people that she can't possibly be included in Shidou's harem...right? |
Here, fanboys. |
| lets say this... kurumi is a psycho but not created by jelousy it doesnt matter the word to descrive her she is NOT a yandere dot finale |

| I wonder if Kurumi has real feelings for Shidou or just really wants to eat him? |
| I didnt read the light novels, so i dont know what happens, but it seems like theyre leaving out dialogue between Shido and Tohka. Still, this was a pretty good episode, so this is the kurumi everyones been raving about aye? |
astrocorgiMay 17, 2013 2:07 PM
| Lol i feel like this Kurumi chick really just wants to eat Shidou, will say i like how aggressive she is not sure how shes gonna fare with the rest of the harem. |

cephilis said: She wants to eat him right after they just met? What a slut i see what you did there ! |

| Good episode. Starting to get into the mysteries of this series. |
