| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Jealous Haru spotted~ The episode almost felt like a date lol. Ah Haru you silly. Hope your relationship improves with humans in the future. Overall decent episode. I can understand why those kids wanted to scare humans. |

| Those monkey heralds sure love to play pranks. Lots of Haru getting mad, jealous, and crying. |
 |
| A bit noisy with the monkeys... |
| Shohei's family and the temple/shrine surrounding are very interesting The monkey heralds Fuu and Fuku are just like Son Go Ku from Journey to the West Playful and pulling pranks |
| That didn't have the neat conclusion that the previous episodes had, but perhaps it is better that way. Some problems aren't always things that need solving. Sometimes just coming to accept the situation is a better way of dealing with it. Takuan - thanks for that information. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| That was a chaotic and light-hearted episode after the more somber serious tone of the last three. Fuu and Fuku were pretty funny. Haru's jealousy and fits of crying and rage in this episode were hilarious, especially when she comments on Makoto that 'human women can't control themselves." Haru had the least control out of all of them! |
| Those monkeys were quite loud and add Haru into the mix meant I had to turn the volume down... Twice! lol. Thank you Takuan for the backgroung history. I always find this sort of thing interesting. |
| Nice to see a little more information on Yumi and Shouhei to flesh out their characters a bit. Actually Shouhei looks a lot more reasonable as a boyfriend after this episode, particularly as he is the one looking after Yumi's cat. In the end though, this episode really was an interesting look at the relationship between Shinto and Buddhism, and how they co-exist. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Nice episode, although I had to turn the volume down b/c of the three high-pitched voices. I realized that I like how this series is done, maybe the content. It's like there's no real conflict, maybe it's just an approach I don't see too often. |
 |
| The three kids are fun to watch but they're too loud xD Anyhow, I enjoyed this ep~ |
  |
| Those monkey heralds were awesome pranksters. I enjoyed this episode. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Fun, soothing episode. They are the bridge between humans and heralds. Awww |
| Satoru's blushed! I ship Satoru X Makoto!! This episode was really fun to watch! :D |
| Good episode overall. Next one will be Funabashi centred, can't wait. Kurini said: I ship Satoru X Makoto!! I can't help but agree to your shipping. |
 |
| This was a nice and fun episode. The monkeys sure made things lively. |
| Fun episode! Loved seeing Makoto and Satoru together. :P Also, the older monkey looked badass. |
 |
| This episode hurt my ears at certain times lol. I love Haru, but three high pitched voices was a little too much. Haru is so cuuute though, seriously. I love it when she's traveling on Gintaro, or when she's clinging onto Satoru ^^ Satoru is also a fun character to watch. I remember learning about religions in Japan in my Japanese art history class so it was nice to see it here, Buddhism and Shinto, especially how the head priest respects the heralds despite them being from a different religion. |
| The only episode I didn't really like so far. Mostly because I couldn't stand the two monkey's voices. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
Kurini said: Satoru's blushed! I ship Satoru X Makoto!! Yeah. I noticed there was quite a few moments in the anime. But what topped the lot was this: Click! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Haru sitting on Gin's head looked so adorable. As always, her jealous outburst is funny. It really looked cute too when the two monkeys and Haru were running around Gin XD Mako x Sato! I laughed at Yumi's reaction :P @Takuan: Oh...so that explains it. Thanks for that background info. At the beginning of the episode, I was wondering why there was a shrine and a Buddhist temple on the same grounds. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| That monkeys were actually quite annoying. :| Thanks Takuan for a little background. :) |
| Good for the anime to show a bit about the co-existence of Shintoism and Buddhism in Japan (indeed in Japan it is not too hard to find examples of Shinto shrine and temples in the same compound. As said in the anime, Japan is very flexible in terms of religion. Though as Takuan_Soho said there was a period when Shintoism reigned supreme and was used to server the purpose of nationalism and government. And I now know why monkey is a symbol for victory..... |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Loved the energy this episode had. Very fun, and nice romantic teasing. If this was a 2 course anime I'd expect some romantic development. Sadly I don't think that will or necessarily should happen. |
 |
| I bursted out laughing at this scene: http://puu.sh/5lYDd.jpg |
Takuan_Soho said: Akanezora said: Good episode overall. Next one will be Funabashi centred, can't wait. Kurini said: I can't help but agree to your shipping.I ship Satoru X Makoto!! Too boring. Now that Ore Imou has crossed the incest taboo as a mainstream animation, I am rooting for Gin X Makoto, because they really do make the cutest couple in the show and we must be progressive and knock down all those artificial societal barriers. Seriously though, the real barrier to that ending should be that both Makoto and Satoru are set to inherit their individual shrines, and as such marriage would be pretty much out of the realm of possibility in Japan. These sort of things are taken very, very seriously in Japan, where responsibility has a far greater emphasis than individual freedom. But the end has already been shown. Will spoil even though I am only guessing (haven't read the manga yet), but I am pretty damn certain on this one and hate to wreck things for others, if you want to talk about it, please spoil: Now I'm even more eager for a second season. |
 |
| Funny episode. Three kids fighting and chasing each other. But I'll have to agree with Gin that it was a ''pain in the ass'' (-_-) |
 |
| I was having doubts about this show before, but now I'm not. Really good atmosphere and setting. Enjoyed this episode fully. Cute Monkeys and cute OTPs <3 |
| That was a fun episode. It made me laugh so much that I don't feel sleepy anymore, and that's going to be my problem because I have to sleep already because it's already 2:30am and I'm going to have a class this 9am. :D Oh well, I just love this episode so much.. Satoru and Makoto looks cute together esp. when they both blushed at the same time. hahaha ^______________^ plus, Gintaro just got mad. XD and lol, Haru.. at the past episodes, I really hate her but in this episode, she's too cute at being mad. poor her though because of those monkeys. |

| Haru is ruining this show ;_; |
| Mischievous monkey heralds? Well, it was good to see somebody or something giving Haru a difficult time. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I actually liked Satoru X Makato :) Those monkeys were irritatingly loud, had turn down volume too XD |
| Badass grandpa monkey. Those mini monkeys were cute, though annoying at first. I just learned a bit about Shrines and Temples from this episode and this thread. Gotta love Gingitsune <3 |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
tingy said: This episode hurt my ears at certain times lol. Hahaha, this. so much noise in this episode. |
| I haven't seen more badass monkey before. Somewhat boring episode, maybe because I cringe at Satoru x Makoto and there was plenty of it. Yumi is golden as always, altough I really don't get why the hell she considers Shouhei her boyfriend. Maybe my outlook on couples is way too pinkish and sugary, but they remind me of children in kindergarten that keep fighting over toys which is almost as romantic as dead fish. |
| ANNOYING MONKEYS! |
 |
| Pretty okay episode, those monkeys were rather annoying but well it was okay in the end! |
 |
| I like that monkey heralds pair, lol'd @ Haru. Glad to know more about Shouhei, and not just leaving him in the dark. mayukachan said: Kurini said: shanimebib said: Kurini said: Satoru's blushed!

| Their pranks are exasperating a little but .. they do have a good reason for it . Pretty good Episode !!! Smile for "Victory" !! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Episode nice, new heralds were hilarious. Storytelling fun, not a whining as previous episodes. Plot that moves forward slightly, but it's interesting anyway. Drawings and animations good. OST catchy. |
 |
| I couldn't help but think of that one Inuyasha episode while watching this one. Those little monkeys were obnoxious but kinda cute. I don't think it was intended, but the ending seemed kinda sad to me, with no one at the temple able to see or really believe in them. |
| Oh man, a little too much high-pitched squealing in this episode for me >_< The two monkeys WERE pretty cute though :P Playing pranks because they wanted people to laugh and nobody could see them ... kinda touching tbh :') Pretty cool that Shouhei's family is also related to this kinda stuff and they have a monkey shrine in their temple. Also everyone thinking that Satoru and Makoto were on a date ... ohoho, what could they be hinting at?! ;P |
