Episode 6

Too weird, spoiler[tanuki is actually a good person]. The spoiler[fake Kohina scene and walking] were killer.

This show is unusual yet very cute the same time. I wonder what other supernatural-like beings will be introduced in the future Shocked

Aww, so spoiler[Shigaraki can actually be a really good person when he wants to be.] I had a feeling that would turn out to be the case, but it was nice to see it happen.

Speaking of which, has anyone found an English TL of the OP lyrics?


The full version of the song apparently came out a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't been able to find a translation yet. Since I was curious, I attempted to do one myself (just of the TV size version). My Japanese is not nearly good enough to come up with a full, completely accurate translation, but I think I got the basic meaning of it. It's mostly Kokkuri-san talking about how good he is at housework ("Perfect at cleaning! Perfect at doing laundry!"), but also complaining that he's not appreciated for it (at one point, Inugami says "Work harder! Everything is for the sake of my darling!", followed by Shigaraki saying "Everything is for the sake of my NEET lifestyle!"). The chorus is mostly nonsensical, like "talila talilalila dance dance dance".

Thanks for the tidbits! Smile

Episode 7

Maybe my favorite so far. Loved the water bottle and mother-in-law hits. Very Happy

I would of preferred if Kokkuri-san stayed as a spoiler[girl].

And speaking of girl, that spoiler[new character named Tama really does act like a cat. Get a ball of yarn and she'll be begging for mercy Laughing]

Episode 7

Insane zany that only this show can give. Comedy anime are good things.

Firstly the cat. In true style it is not what it wants you to think and the cat spoiler[god girl is indeed a psycho with a crazy interest in dolls]. Not sure what standout parts to focus on, but the scary possessed dolls in Tama's possession are a place to start, along spoiler[with one being swapped with Kohina with Inugami and Shigaraki not noticing]. Tama spoiler[getting psycho and the group (plus freaky doll) trying to get Kohina back, especially using Google and planning to sabotage them through bad reviews]. Laughing

In the second part, number one joke has to go the spoiler[cursed box having forbidden so much that someone will have to ope it, and the letter inside including "lol"], perfect fit. Oh, plus Kohina spoiler[being pretty unaffected by it and telling him that it ruins his standout character traits]. Also I rspoiler[ecognise female Kokkuri-san's] voice, its the same one as spoiler[Hayate], which was creating a weird dissonance.

Extra cute mention of animal form Inugami carrying oversized guns.

So, Tama...she's cute, both in and out of cat form, but those dolls...I'm not really sure what, but something about that spoiler["Your mother has come to visit, but she's a shamisen now"] joke was particularly funny to me.

Since the possibility had been brought up more than once previously, I was expecting that eventually, we'd see spoiler[Kokkuri-san as a woman.] I'm surprised they seem to be carrying this storyline over into the next episode, though.

With hilarious out come at the end.

Seriously, it is a shonen style show, its always going revert back to its original form. Anyways, i think ancestors have particular sense of humor.

I like the female Kokkuri, but it wasn't meant to be.

It's a wonder Tanuki-san didn't get tossed out of the bath for his tats.

Episode 8

Female Kokkuri-san is actually in the OP now, she was among the other girls that included the bully, Tama, and Female Inugami, and at the end where she replaces regular Kokkuri-san. That end also includes Tama, and Inugami is in male form, I think he has shifted back and forth.

Also kind of funny of Tama getting involved, and how she acted as foil for Inugami.

I could see spoiler[it coming in the end, that it would be hilarious if a kiss was what broke the curse. It would have been] sad to not have Daisuke Ono here anymore.
