QUICK TAKES

was entertainment, the lore in this universe are the supernatural powers, the series in this point tray to make equal all those series of superheroes, but this with supernatural powers, at this by far feels a something wasting , when i heard about this series, i expected something more humble about the human relationships with the lore paranormal and uppernatural, but at this point the become in a mimic of superheroes

Jiji keren banget pas berubah mana baik banget lagi si Jiji tapi emang sedih banget sama masa lalu villainnya huhuhu. Actionnya bagus banget mulus.

This episode is crazy chaotic. Jiji has taken all the spotlight. It's really cool but it's a bit odd to see why the transformation looks like that.

Very chaotic scenes and fights where nobody knows what to spect. I found amazing the cliffhangers of this episode, it explains a few about certain topics but is still pretty good.

This episode mixes horror and tragedy beautifully. Evil Eye’s backstory adds surprising emotion, and Jiji’s compassion gives the conflict real weight, making the final possession twist feel both heartbreaking and dangerous.

Jiji is the absolute GOAT for holding it together while his friends were losing their minds. The Evil Eye’s backstory is straight-up devastating, but that final kick-to-kick clash with Okarun? Pure hype. Science SARU doesn't miss.

Okarun’s transformation comes in at the right time.
It still looks odd but works better now in fights and hes getting better in his fights
Could’ve lasted a bit longer though but still our boy got power ...

Pace keeps you engage with battles and backstories of evil eye and then the animation is fluid with the worms movement and captures the characters expressions. There are some funny moments here and there but it is intense.

That escalated way faster than I expected, things got intense real quick. Some of the shots looked really clean too, didn’t expect it to go that hard.

Fast paced, intense storyline. Character design for the worm and the evil eye is top grade nightmare fuel. Love the subtle humor. Impressive work throughout. Chills in the horror scenes. Jiji's fight sequences with the worm are so good!!

As the title of the episode suggest the focus is The Evil Eye, the yokai haunting Jiji throughout his life. As with all the ghost and yokai introduced in the anime, Evil eye has tragic backstory that explains how and why he haunted Jiji.

A bit of a breather episode focusing on the school life and the awkward tension between the leads.

It’s rare to see comedy and genuine tension balanced this well. What’s your take on the new VA? This episode’s focus on facial expressions during their 'not-a-date' dialogue shows peak animation!

The stakes creep up fast here. You can feel the world getting bigger and odder, but it’s delivered with that wild humor and tension that keeps you glued.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Directly following Episode 1's setup of the mission to exorcise Jiji's family home, this second episode escalates the supernatural threat considerably and introduces the Evil Eye as a formidable new antagonist. It functions as a pivotal early-season turning point, deepening Jiji's role in the narrative and establishing the darker, higher-stakes tone that will likely define the confrontations ahead. With ten episodes still remaining, the groundwork laid here signals that Season 2 is building toward something significantly more intense than its predecessor.
