Amatsuki (あまつき)

Not a bad trick being pulled with the ethanol in order to get back at that jerk. Having that kind of knowledge can make things pretty interesting. Long as you have the ability to pull it off. That guy will be having nightmares for quite some time .

Reminds me of a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court, along with a host of other stories in a similar vein. Very enjoyable seeing it again though. So far I have to admit I'm enjoying this show. Definitely very promising start.

Why is this series so hard to understand >_<

ep 4

Spoiler:

From what I can see, Toki has some special ability which is so much more than being able to see demons.

He talks to the "angel" guy about something (seriously...I pretty much got nothing from that scene ).

Afterwards he wakes up to find a loli sitting on top of him. After being attacked by a bunch of mikos, feathers started to pour out of his broken eye (freaky).

The leader of the temple is a doll...even more freaky.

Kuchiha reveals her true form (a giant wolf ~ this is what Horo should have done instead ).

She goes on a rampage but was stopped by Toki who visualised bonds onto Kuchiha which surprisingly came true. So in the end wolf Kuchiha was tied up in giant iron shackles.

Maybe watching this ep half asleep wasn't such a good idea

[vorpal83]

How many high school kids would know how to do that, though?

[maika_chan]

lol, Tokidoki is a weird name... but almost all of the characters in Amatsuki are named after Japanese colors, so "toki" is reddish pink, "kon" is navy blue, "kuchiha" is brown, etc.

yikes! And Kon thinks that Toki's name is a 'tough' name...

Anyway, I was going through the 1st ep again before watching the 2nd, and I noticed something this time:

Spoiler for ep 1:

Aren't they Toki's classmates or something?! What are the chances that they too got sucked back in time...I mean their appearance there must mean something since they also appeared in the opening theme...

He means that Toki's name is "tough" in the sense that it would be problematic. Blond hair and a weird, modern-sounding name stick out too much.

None of his classmates besides Kon go back in time... in the manga, his school friends show up in the first chapter as comic relief, but that scene was cut from the anime. I'm not sure why they're in the OP, really.

There goes my theory....kinda disapointing tho cuz they (the classmates) seem to be an interesting bunch. Perhaps the producers might wanna insert a filler episode about Toki's school life...maybe as a DVD special or something...

[The Chaos]

Well I Liked The First Two Ep...Look Interesting Anime To Watch
Witting Ep 3 Sub ^.^

[Westlo]

I enjoyed episode 2 and it was nice to see Toki repair his relationship with Kuchiha after his comments in the first pissed her off. Question for manga readers..

Spoiler:

Is there any romantic developments between Toki and Kuchiha? This is published in a shoujo magazine so I'm guessing while it's obviously not a focus there should be some developments at least. Though whether it's between them two or someone else is the thing.. Just a yes or no answer will do... thanks!

[Shiroth]

Episode two was a nice watch, especially for that damn wonderful smile from Kuchiha. It's one of those smiles that would lighten my whole day from the morning --- absolutly wonderful.

If possibly, could i reguest a few Kuchiha avatars from the first or second episode?

I've only read up to chapter 22 (manga is up to chapter 44) but...

Spoiler:

IIRC, Toki and Kuchiha do have a few moments... so I would say yes. I do get the impression that Toki has feelings for Kuchiha. Not sure if anything causes their relationship to change in future chapters though.

Anyways, when I watched the first episode, I thought Kuchiha's voice was a bit low since I imagined her with a higher voice while reading the manga. But it's nothing that can't be remedied with time.

I too have that problem when characters from manga & books that I've read are not up to what I imagined them to be when converted to the big screen or TV.

Regarding episode 2, I was quite taken aback by Kuchiha's smile at the end...just not what I would expect her to do. A pat on the back is more like her.

p.s. At first I thought Kuchiha's voice sounded like Rukia's (Bleach), but a quick google check proved otherwise...

*had forgotten to look up VA list-- googles* Wow, I had no idea Paku Romi voiced Kuchiha. I guess that explains why her voice sounded like Temari (Naruto).

Knowing that Romi-san voiced Kuchiha, it's a pleasant surprised. This has got to be one of her highest pitched voice, ever.

I'm just glad that she didn't pull a Toshiro on us.

Well, I've caught bits of Naruto where Temari's featured. Again, one of her higher pitch voices. See middle comment for "gratitude".

Spoiler:

As far as I have read, no. Especially that Kuchihaa left the group later on. Toki also end up hanging out with Banten's group a lot more.

[Esper 28]

I just figured I'd throw in my two cents about this show. I was just kind of looking at the main page trying to find something I could jump into and this one sounded the most appealing. To my surprise, it was actually really enjoyable. I really enjoy the characters, especially Kuchiha. While Kon seems to be all sorts of badass, I find myself disliking Toki. Like, actually disliking him to the point where I think the show would be better without him. I think as time goes on, my opinion of him will change, but hey, it's only two episodes in.

Seriously, though, Kuchiha is awesome.

[Kaijin]

WooHoo! Episode 3 has been subbed and released by Ureshii!

[Molenir]

I was sad to see some of the developments in epi 3. That character at the end... Anytime theres a character like that introduced, you can always tell, the plot is heading in a bad direction. Not bad as in, oh no horrible things are gonna happen. I'd actually prefer that, but bad as in bad choice of characters, bad choices in plot developments. Just bad!

Hopefully things won't turn out the way I'm thinking.

[Esper 28]

It wasn't a bad episode, but there were some odd things. When Toki first mentioned his eye patch, I thought, "Did I miss an episode?" And the scene where they come to the basket and then it splits, I wasn't crazy about their reactions. They were ready to just split up. I just think that some of the pacing of the episode wasn't the greatest.

And, yeah, I agree with Molenir, I'm not that fond of the villain introduced at the end of the episode.

[Deathkillz]

Indeed, the pacing was rather bad but the way they did introduce the villain in the end isn't necessary a bad thing, but more of a cliche. Though this time, it was used in a rushed way...and just shows how clueless Toki is when he can't sense danger at all. This is also the same when the time he followed the little "monster guy"...in fact, I am still freaked out by his rapping O.o
