Ha, Nase is just so mischievous. I can barely read her even though she's there to observe.

I'm still liking the dark atmosphere of this show though and the flashback. I don't blame Mirai for killing someone back then though. I don't think she met to anyways. Intense/5.

It was so so. Didn't know Akihito was obsessed with glasses. He should set up a meganebu. Mirai looks cute with glasses.

Sakura's gunblade/saw has to be one of the weirdest weapons around and I wonder how and why Mirai knew of her. Mitsuki is surprisingly hot in glasses, I'm also surprised at Akihito's glasses fetish.

??? The show opened with his saying he had a megane fetish, and he repeated this several times during the first two episodes. It's his defining personality trait and why he likes Mirai.

When I saw this episode, it felt like I skipped an episode or something... but apparently I didn't. So basically, the family of Mirai who adopted her and became friends with the daughter (Yui) who was possessed by the youmu, and now Mirai killed her (assuming it is self defense), now she is trying to avenge her death, and then we get this Sakura girl who might be angry against Mirai since she killed Yui.

Looks like the MC will battle/be battled. Can't wait to see it.

Totally agree.

Next episode, since MC won't die, probably we get a nice ending to this Hollow Shadow.

The beginning of the episode was alright, but I really enjoyed the action in the later parts. It was nice seeing more characters in the series using their powers. Especially how Hiromi was using his scarf. Sakura's weapon was pretty cool. Akihito with the clutch save though.

A major step-up from the last few weeks. So far this show succeeded a lot more at building up tension than at its attempts to be funny. Glad that not much time was spent on Mirai angsting about her past, it was kept just short enough to make a point rather than getting overbearing.

Good episode but it introduced a lot of stuff with not much explanation like the girl fighting Mirai, how her childhood friend came to be possessed by the hollow, and how Akihito got to Mirai so fast since it seems like she was transported into a fake world inside the big, black youmu. Still loving the animation, though.

Cool new character introductions, and can't say that Mirai's past is anything too special (how she killed someone but it's not entirely her fault). But yes I agree that at least they didn't spend too much time on her angsting over it. Love all that action and beautiful animation once again. And of course Akihito comes in at the last minute, looks like things won't go well with him there though next episode :(

I feel they're trying to do too much at one time. I was really bored watching this. The christmas cakes were nice to see again though. This was one of my highest anticipated series for this season but I might drop it

  • After three episodes this series look good, but pretty much par for course for KyoAni. Expectations were probably too high for this series coming in.

  • loli-Mirai too stronk.

  • So Mirai basically bounces around the city like a ninja and surfs on cars to get to the Hollow Shadow and somehow Akihito who is sitting at home playing Food Channel is able to track her down inside some alternate plane no problem? Does he have some kind of GPS bug on her?

  • Healthy Mitsuki continues to be healthy.

Pretty good episode, got some backstory on Mirai. I didn't know who Sakura was when she first appeared and started attacking Mirai, but I think that was just me, I wasn't really paying attention. That's the only problem I have with this anime so far, it hasn't been able to keep my attention well at certain parts, and I end up missing important things, but I think this is mostly just my fault. Next episode looks action packed, so that'll be nice.

KyoKana's ED is definitely the best in this season, with Golden Time and Kurobas coming in second, tied.

Anyway, a much better episode than the previous. Glad to see some action going on. Also, more Hiromi is good. He has cool powers. I still don't like the comedy or Mirai-moe but it's definitely an improvement. Her motto "It's unpleasant" is quite annoying though.

Very, very good episode. It's like it keeps getting better. Can't wait for next week. I have a feeling that Akihito has some kind of power besides his immortality that either he's been hiding, or doesn't know about yet.

Agreed on all counts. Really don't care about the plot or characters at all. Great animation and music but... not sure that will be enough too carry it for me. Far from a favorite this season which is too bad, had high hopes for it.

This is one of my most anticipated animes this season and it's letting me down, but I am going to watch up until the next episode to see if this show turns around.
The humor isn't funny and jokes are prolonged for too long.
The characters all seem to be stereotypical and bland, like I feel no connection to any of them whatsoever and Mirai's character is getting annoying with her "woe is me" attitude.
The animation is pretty and the fight scenes are done really well.

My expectations were way too high for this show. I was holding back on saying too much about characters, story, and so on because it was only a few episodes in, but by the third episode there hasn't been any improvements in those areas. The dialogue is still uninteresting and is making me roll my eyes with how typical it is. At least this episode isn't riddled with as many bits of "humor" as the first episode. I'll hold back a bit more about the story and wait to see how it unfolds.

Still looking forward to the action scenes though.

Man...I really like Akihito...I know he can kinda be the cliche "nice guy" is anime but I do. The animation is so beautiful. Love Hiromi as well and from the preview for the next episode is Akihito going to be possesed?! well...SHIT.

Mirai is getting more and more annoying as the episodes go by. That was all I could think throughout the episode.

I agree as well, but since I'm already watching it, I'll just complete it anyway. Mirai is not helping though, she is kind of annoying :/
Sakura's weapon reminds me of the RWBY weapons and how its Melee+Gun. Inspiration from RWBY...? Excuse my ignorance if this is a fairly common weapon choice xD

btw, how the hell did Akihito even find Mirai? Wasn't she in the middle of nowhere?

Kinda getting tired of the whole "you wouldn't understand my pain" theme... I feel like it's been played out too much with these kind of anime (that deal with like youmu). Next episode will probably have Kuriyama realize the pain that Kanbara went through as a half-youmu and half-human. And Kuriyama will definitely join the literary club, so it's kinda frustrating that they're playing that out too... "I'm not like you all," or "thank you for the offer, but I'll have to reject."

Long story short, I'm still expecting something else from this anime, because I haven't seen anything different in terms of storytelling from anime by KyoAni.
