QUICK TAKES

it's noted the great budget behind of the episode, the animation get better here well is the beginning of the season so, they have to show the best from the beginning, at this episode it's really notes , not just in the animation if not in all the little details

Aku suka banget pembukaannya langsung nyambung sama season 1 kemarin, visualnya lebih cakep juga sama lebih creepy yang season ini.

It's just the first episode and we're already treated to some really cool action scenes. Momo is also very strong and can handle the situation a bit. But the ending wasn't really what I expected.

The episode is great in terms of animation and action scenes, I think it develops an interesting lovely side of Okarun and the fights are more funny than chaotic but it stills takes the attention all the time.

An explosive return that throws the trio straight into chaos. The hidden mountain town, creepy landlords, and sudden giant cryptid reveal make this feel bizarre in the best Dandadan way, with the ending turning genuinely unsettling.

That giant snake sequence was pure eye candy. Science SARU is flexing so hard with the fluidity and that eerie, folkloric vibe. Okarun and Momo’s chemistry is still unmatched—the perfect mix of chaotic and wholesome. We are so back.

Starts pretty abruptly, straight into chaos again.
Both spirits and aliens showing up together felt a bit much.
Still engaging though, didn’t feel slow at all .... I am loving this hehe

it is a strong comeback, Pacing is fast and wild right from the start, throwing you back into the chaos. And i guess animation is even better than S1, smoother action, insane creature designs, and those signature exaggerated faces. Tone is the perfect mix of horror and comedy

Jiji usually feels kinda clueless, so him suddenly reading the room felt a bit weird. And Turbo Granny just being there out of nowhere was random but kinda funny.

Visually stunning with one of the best soundtracks ever. Gripping storyline and fantastic action. The weird depiction of the Kito family takes the cake for me. Mongolian throat singing for the backing track!! Somebody cooked here. Cliffhanger ending is perfect!

The episode dives right in where last season left off with the house and weird family. The episode esthablish the current threat that will be the antagonist for the next couple of episodes.

The chaotic energy is back!! The animation in the opening fight scene is absolutely good and stylish.

The transition from the high-stakes combat of S1 to the domestic chaos of the Ayase household is seamless. That opening sequence alone proves the production value hasn't dipped. Who else caught the Yokai foreshadowing in the background art? 👻

Season 2 dives right in with that classic Dan da dan energy, everything feels crazier, stranger, and more alive than ever. The trio is back in danger and it’s impossible not to be hooked again.

La temporada arranca con Momo enfrentándose a una complicada situación en aguas termales, mientras que Okarun y Jiji viven una tensa situación con la siniestra familia Kito. El episodio mantiene un ritmo rápido e intenso, estableciendo una temporada prometedora.

It's ridiculous, over-the-top, and somehow still meaningful, perfect start to the new season. peak horror vibes. The fight choreography is insane, turbo granny is still a mood, and the anime blends comedy, action, and horror like nothing else.

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the Season 2 premiere, this episode picks up directly from the first season's conclusion and wastes no time establishing the new trajectory — Jiji's ancestral home and the Kito family become the focal points for what's ahead. It functions as both a reintroduction to the core trio's dynamic and a launchpad for escalating supernatural stakes. By episode's end, the groundwork is clearly laid for the protagonists to be pulled deeper into increasingly dangerous encounters across the remaining eleven episodes.
