You have to love the cliff-hangers of this series. For the past episodes, they’ve always brought some kind of new twist. This episode gives a bit of a humorous side to the twists, which works out quite well, if I say so myself, even if it’s a bit mean. ^^;
This episode was mostly building up as usual again. After the previous episode, Tarou gets a new sort of therapy recommended by the councillor: Thought Field Therapy. I’m not yet sure what that means, but we’ll probably find out in the next episode, because Tarou really needs this after being exposed to the figure of the guy who kidnapped him and all. It now also seems that the councillor took the things that happened to him rather seriously, and is still frightened of the strange time-leap he made, two episodes ago.
Also, one of the questions that was raised in the OP has been answered: remember the Fox-like creature? That’s actually Makoto in Ghost Hound-mode. After seeing Tarou, he tried to move into the same form, and succeeded. In the meantime, the bully-side-story still isn’t over, when the bullies have now decided to make Masayuki into their victim. Luckily, Makoto prevented any real casualties in this episode, but things have to go wrong at one point.
Meanwhile, Masayuki finds out about Tarou’s crush on Miyako. Cute moment, by the way. Miyako seems to be really wary of her father, by the way. He just takes out one beer and she notices and gets annoyed. Could this have to do with her schizophrenic side, that was mentioned a few episodes ago?
Overall, I’m liking the quiet moments of this series more and more. It’s interesting enough for me to just see the different characters interacting, and that’s one of the signs of a good anime for me. Let’s see what this series will have in store for us once it enters its second half. Ghost Hound is an excellent recommendation for this season.]]>
Ghost Hound – 10
I agree to the many things you mentioned regarding this episode, also with the previous ones xD
Thanks for blogging this amazing series by the way. While the subs are not up, I couldn’t understand what’s going in in watching the raw episodes ^^; Ehehe. Now I get more idea on what’s going on ^_^
Ghost Hound is definitely one of the best this season ^_^
Has anyone kept track of whether that mysterious truck has had a cameo in every single episode? ^_^
I must say the “evolved” versions of the ghosts look a lot better than the original babies! It will be interesting to see where the show will go now that things really are starting to happen.
I like to read your reviews. Easy, simple and fun. But i’ve only one request. Could you please put more pics about the episodes? 4 isn’t enough, i guess. Thanks again for all the hard work so for.
mesaclin: well, in the past I used to put six pictures per post, though taking these screenshots proved to be a bit too time-consuming. I’ll think about it, though, and I’m glad to see that you like my entries. 🙂
I can’t wait till this is subbed, it looks really interesting. BTW does anyone know where I can get the manga?
