The spiritual action animation in this episode is executed with perfect pacing—fast, dynamic, and packed with eye-catching visualizations of mystical aura.
They look so happy, Especially Hamaji, Because Sousuke has finally woken up. This episode is about love and friendship. It feels good when you have very good friends.
It was terrifying, there were so many rats it gave me the creeps. Shino was hilarious he was even more scared than a woman.
Shinobu is so lucky to have someone looking after and taking good care of him. I also remember back when i used to look after a child who is all grown up now and they thanked me for patiently taking care of him when he was a child.
It's a good thing Shinobu has a friend like Hazuki, who is ready to defend and loves him. We are lucky if there is someone who loves us and is ready to defend us.
Shino is funny, He even takes a bath with his bird, It’s a good thing that Shinobu still has grandparents looking after him, it feels wonderful to have grandparents who care for you, even in their old age.
Akihiko is sad because his mother is sick, This episode is about love and sadness, I feel like I can relate to it.
As the song says "I get by with a little help from my friends" and brothers. What an intense and extreme conclusion to this story. With amazing soundtrack and characters and landscapes designs, it proved to be a wonderful show. Shall the adventure continue?
Despair. Anger. Helplessness. Shino and his companions face a truely hazardous situation. A powerful and unexpected antagonist takes control of the course of events and freezes time. Fighting and shimmering lights set the mood for a tight resolution.
New doors are open. Eyes locking and unlocking meaningful sight conditions. There's something about amnesia that reigns this series and troubles the mind of our characters. Are we aproaching an epic battle?
Hazuki and Kagetsu love for Shinobu is strong. Confrontation with Ao is unavoidable and fierce. Amidst the fury and tension we can enjoy some wonderful nighttime sights with bright colours. Powers awaken and more uncertainty is deployed.
Tension is palpable. Amazing night scenes, full of colour and mystery. A crucial event reffer to Shinobu and his origin leave us with a handful of questions. Amazing character design and photography. The music soundtrack is even better from one episode to another.
Absolutely emotional. Wonderful plants and flowers landscapes. The music pierces through the soul as we try to know what happened to Akihiko. The mountains and Torii archs drawings amazed me at first sight.
Wonderful snowfall and town sights. It turns a bit shady with the appearence of a dark character with not so good means. Memories seemed erased as time went by and life change. The music is remarkable and fits just perfectly with the scenes.
The adventure continues. We see Kaede having fun and problems, two in one. Funny moments through town and some emotional passages. The design of the sacred beads is amazing. The drawings are always carefully designed.
Drama, passion and tension on every turn. Yana feelings leave us one step closer to tears. Amazing drawings and visual fx. Orchestral music sets the mood to make the experience absolutely gorgeous.
Quite an intriguing episode. Yana and Ao bring a bunch of expectation to the story and leave us wanting to know more about them and what awaits in the near future. Amzing temple drawings and harp/koto music.
Tenderness rewrites itself by letting us have Kaho. Shino struggles with this newly asigned task of his, but I think he could handle it well. Peaceful sights and lovely storytelling submerge the our minds into a beautiful world.
This one had a bit of everything. Beauty crashed by darkness. Wonderful visual fx full of colours and sights carefully drawn. The tenderness of the singing really moved me.
Lot of questions araise from this chapter. Shino and his group face some mysterious signs along their quest. Daikaku seems like a gentle man. Amazing tree blossoms sights and a hipnotizing melody.
