I find it fascinating that I keep watching this series despite it leaning heavily into the "monster of the week" syndrome. The fight scenes continue to leave me "heading to the kitchen for a sandwich" but I do like watching the character interplay.

17's the only ep i can recall thus far, except maybe ep1, that was a little too serious in nature. not to say it was a bad ep, but for a series that's been a very good balance of comedic antics and seriousness, it was a little out of character...still it was good to learn about some background information on a number of characters.

Gentle note: complaining about fansub release schedules can be a bannable offense on the AS forums.
People who create fansubs do it as a hobby and they usually have jobs, classwork, and real life to contend with. Its remarkable that fansubs come out weekly rather than once a month ... and sometimes it can be several months between releases. Patience and having-other-things-to-do is the antidote though ... no argument one can spin in circles hoping for the next fix of an episode.

I also help them by giving out donations. It's just that I should have taken Japanese lessons instead of Chinese. In that way, I can be able to watch the raws without any problems. I'm too preoccupied with work so I can't study anymore. Reality is indeed harsh. |

A new ED will be used starting episode 19.
Title: Shiawase no Kotodama (シアワセの言霊) Sung by Kuu, Kou, and Gyokuyou It seems to be an ED where "cute" deformed characters dance and sing... Spoiler for sample "deform" characters:
Wonder why episode 19...? Maybe the last arc starts on that episode.

So caught up to episode 14.
Looks like denying being the Mizuchi's head didn't help this time. But man talk about a bad day. You go with the high hopes of a cute girl wanting to meet with you and you get some guy who then proceeds to kidnap you. How depressing. Can't blame Kuu for the capture of Noboru. Since every time something has happened the target has been Tooru. Not that they want Noboru in particular just as a hostage to get Shiro-chan. Since it was pretty obvious that the tattoo girl they were after was Shiro, just with that charm completely wrapping her up no way you could see them. Time to go to the rescue! Don't mess with the people Kuu is out to protect or your going to get burned.[/Spoiler]

I agree with that feeling. The "daily life" aspects of the series are really more interesting and entertaining to me than any "battle boss of the week" or "series climax" -- so I'm not wringing my hands if those things don't really pan out.

Episode 15
Well glad the subs are really getting closer now. But somehow I felt disappointed at the end of this one. Was expecting a good fight to rescue Noboru, but in the end just handed him off without much fuss. Sure got a bit with that fire enemy, but a quick collapse of the ceiling ended that rather fast. Though the series most entertaining times have been interactions with the characters rather than battles.
Kuu had to hit the nail on the head though . Though really they could have kidnapped him at any time. There is really no security put around Noboru except when he's at home. Whether he was lured by a note that he thought was from a girl or not its sloppy protection as well. Still nice to see Mubyou get a minute of air time . Enjoyed having her around though doesn't seem like she will have much to do with this one. Kind of feel for Tohru. Built up a connection with Shiro and she's just handed off. Sadly that's how it went down and one person will just have to deal with that. Kuu made the call though I would have rather had the Oni taken down . Would say the preview sounds exciting but....With the talk of fake previews and missing epic battle scenes. I don't have great expectations there.

Uwaah! Kugimiya Rie!
Congratulations, Bekira and Tsukyomi, for being the most unlikable characters in this anime (arc character-wise)~! ...... Spoiler, the animation gets great at times. Spoiler, if you watch this episode, you'll get to see a mini-skirt miko-san. Spoiler for ep18:
