The anime failed because they didn't portrayed KOOL K in his brainstorming "how to kill Teppei".
First, Keiichi never goes and kills Teppei on a whim. After Satoko's breakdown, Keiichi couldn't hold anymore, but rather doing a murder, it is an assassination.
Keiichi didn't ask random advice, but surely wondered how to perform a perfect crime. As result, with the "no prologue" part, he understood that if Teppei dies under a specific condition that no one would care, it is safe.
And guess what? it is the Watanagashi festival, the fated day where "murders become accepted". Keiichi knew it, because of how he deduced from the "curse", which he didn't really believe. (this is even more proved as he was pleading for Mion to "make the curse targets teppei" )
Therefore, That explains how the Yamainu cannot kill teppei and how Keiichi could. Simply, the police is too busy to keep watch on the festival, and many holes can be found.
Remember that Takano said they can't move until the police mark is removed, and she said it is probably during the Festival.
