Compared to Fate/Zero, this anime seems pale. Not just in terms of the artwork but also in terms of the character development. But we will leave that for some other time. Let's look at the gist of this episode.
In this episode, Kubinashi and Kejoro are fighting against Sutendoji (one of the elite kyoto yokais) while on the other side, Aotabo is fighting against this insect dude. For the first battle, we are briefly introduced to Kubinashi's past and how he came to join the Nurarihyon's group. On the other hand, we are exposed to Aotabo's past and what made him the way he is today. Riko is only given a mention towards the end of this story. This episode focuses more on the side characters in the Nurarihyon clan and for a change, the anime actually followed the timeline of the manga, which I am particularly fond of. Compared to the first season, the second season provides more life to the side characters and not just leave them out. This is a good development for this anime and I am sure there will be other better episodes to come.
The only thing I don't like about this anime is how powerful the enemies are portrayed to be. I mean seriously, if the enemies are as strong as how the creators stipulate them to be, then it would be literary impossible for Riko and his comrades to take them down. As far as I am concerned, none of them can even come close to the level of the Kyoto Yokais. I am really anticipating the ingenuity of the creators and see how will Riko overcome this issue. If it is something overly exaggerated, then boy, this will fail.
So, until next week's review. See you~ ^^
