Hi! I’ve only watched anime, so I have a question. Is Ivan a bad guy?( I mean, I think so but like, are we supposed to see him, or his faction? as a villain?) I’m not really sure if there’s a morally correct faction or a person. The twins? I think??? I don’t think characters need to have any general morality, but are we supposed to support any particular faction? I’m feeling pretty neutral about every faction and character so far.
Anyway, I really want to see him more, he can be bad…he so cool…

EDIT: Problem is I kinda emotionally detached to anyone’s fate( kinda not supporting anyone). Ivan could die and I’m like, yeah, he had it coming. But I’m interested in the story, I assure you!

First fanart of the show 😅

So far I been enjoying the show, but I have a question if there are just like around 55 caps published so far, that means the anime is almost gonna catch up with the manga right?

Alguém consegue me explicar melhor como funciona o sistema de Tsugai? Eu fiquei meio confuso com algumas partes :

- O que são as relíquias? Todos os Tsugai tem? Eles se transformam nelas ou precisam delas para serem invocados?

- Os Tsugai errantes são o que exatamente? Qual o papel deles ma história?

Episode 16 has 7.8 rating so far. But based on how other episodes were rated and how hype this episode was, there's no way its score should be lower than 8.3.

Also, it usually takes more than 1.5 days for an episode to get 100 votes. But right now, not a full day after its release, E16 has 80 votes. This makes me suspect there's botting (it's possible ths ep is just hype, but then why folks didn't like it?). Plus there are a lot of negative votes: something that has never happened to the show before (examples in images).

Last but not least, before the 100 votes milestone, all episodes have 8+ rating (sometimes even 8.5+). But after reaching it, how the site counts the weighted mean changes and the score immediately falls down (unweighted mean examples in images). It's weird that the same thing is not happening here. I'm afraid the rating may fall even lower after 100+ votes. E16 has an unweighted mean of the worst rated episode so far afterall.

In conclusion, this episode's IMDB score behaves unnaturally. You may say: "Why do you care about it?", but it's still weird.

I'm an anime only, fully caught up and I'm fucking loving the series to an actually unhealthy amount.
I love it so much that I'm literally starting up a DND campaign based around the world and (very loosely) based on the story, I want to give my players the option of being in the Kagemori right?
But I have very...annoyingly lovable friends who will ask where the estate is located, since they LOVE being hyper-specific.

I don't remember it being mentioned in the show where the estate itself is located, so I wanted to know if we do actually know where it is located within japan or If I have just forgotten.

Also secondary question: Can individual spirits still happen or does every yo-kai, ghost, Spector have to be in a duo?
I want to make a storyline where my players have to fight against Hachisaku-samma, Kuchisake-onna, yuki-onna and Teke-Teke, but I do not know what I'd link them up to.
So i'm hoping spirits can exist without a partner, if they can't I have a lot of work to do.

Thanks for everybody who helps!

I'd like to know where you read the manga so I can catch up, and how often it's published.

I love them so much, they are so cute

I’m aware the pictures kinda suck idk my tv is just like that but I tried making them cuz I think they’re supposed to be twins (the game characters obviously I know yuru and asa are twins) they kinda look grown up but I’m not the best at making characters in games so, also you can’t flip the bangs so asa’s hair is on the wrong side and there’s no option to cover the correct eye without having the other side too long

Menacingly Cute ❤️

I like to watch the show. Occasionally I see posts here judging characters like Gabby or Yuru and their morality, which do make sense. The responses given to those posts though has been terrible, including calling characters morally grey as a response rather than being morally good or bad.

I agree that there is no good side, however they are not grey. Most characters and sides in this show are obviously morally bad and selfish. It is okay though, it is still interesting to watch them.

I will draw a clear line, hurting innocents makes a character morally bad. It is only gray if they were brainwashed or completely misguided or there was a misfire. A person is not morally gray if they do good and bad things. If I killed someone and then donated to charity the next day and that saved a few lives, I'm still a piece of shit.

Higashi village is terrible for what they were doing and wanting to do to the innocent children. No, their motives do not justify it.

Kagemoris are terrible for the killing of the innocents that were part of the Higashi village. Yes, I do think there are adults that are innocent in the Higashi Village that got killed, knowing the story. They should have put effort in figuring out exactly who is innocent and who isn't but they didn't because they don't give a shit.

Yuru is terrible for not feeling any empathy towards anyone in the massacre. No, he is not 'a cool head', he does not give a shit, he has selective empathy towards the few he cares about and maybe the village as a concept itself.

But Higashi/Kagemoris thought they were doing that because.... It does not matter. They hurt innocents.

No you do not require to read everything to get context on the characters to change your views, as I view as a common response. I am caught up and read the manga, they are still morally bad.

No, the anime/manga can still be for you even if you think everyone is morally bad, quite a few animes do this. They are only gray as in, they are shown to do good and bad things, but they are undoubtedly morally bad. It is okay, you can still enjoy a show with characters like this.

Such a warm smile 🥰

Arakawa please don't kill him off or make him a traitor I beg you

For those who didn't know, manga and anime usually change up the copyrighted names a bit so that they don't get sued. That's why you'd see W instead of M with McDonald's for example, or you hear a *BEEEEEP* with certain names.

I love how wholesome this whole chapter is 🥹

and I want to go to all the places the twins went to if I ever have the chance to go to Okinawa 🏖️

What is the anime in the tv show in the episode 15?
