Miko-minidress with gartered thighghighs, a naginata and adorable Hanyuu horns?

YES RIRICHIYO YOU ARE THE BEST YOUKAI EVER

Can we have a show of her and Soushi kicking ass? I bet that would be awesome.

Ririchiyo continues to be the cutest heroine of the season. Souchi is starting to annoy me a little with his attitude. I do love the childhood friend's super-laid back approach to things though.

Nice to see Ririchiyou's yokai form though...definitely more humanish than the others.

Happy that the little epilogue features our cute main character in her amazing sleepwear.

Can we have a show of Nobara making sweet love to Ririchiyou and Kurata? That'll be even more awesome.

This show just keeps on getting better and better. So Ririchiyo and Soushi go shopping, and Soushi can't bear the thought of being away from Riri. It was just so cute how everything went down. Then there is Karuta not returning home, and then suddenly re-appearing once again and acting really cute towards food. All of this was done to throw a surprise welcoming party. It was amazing how everything went down, and Riri is quite the youkai while Karuta is acting totally moe and Nobara highly approves.

So far, this is the best show of the season so far, and I plan to continue watching this.

Ririchiyo outfit counter:
+1

Only one outfit (that counts) for the episode. I is disappoint.

Total: 5

Wait, you say, isn't that the same number as last time? Yes, it is. As I was rewatching the previous episode to screencap it, I realized I shouldn't have counted her bathrobe. For my purposes, an outfit only counts if its being used as "regular" attire. In other words, the kind of thing any other show (other than Kami-sama Dolls) would be using the default character outfit for.
----------------------------------------------------

Oh wow, we get to see Ririchiyo's ayakashi form already. I was expecting the show to hold off on that a while longer and it would turn out to be some big deal. And her ayakashi form is amazing, somehow managing to look bad ass and utterly adorable at the same time.

Ririchiyo learning to use her cell phone was adorable.

Also, meganeko Ririchiyo.

That maid sure loves her job. I also noticed on the rewatch that she was having a blast cleaning the bathroom when Ririchiyo was being shown around. I also thought I saw a rather manly looking maid, and this episode confirmed it.

Now we get the real ED. ..... Aaaaaaand suddenly, after that last scene of the ED with dozens of Ririchiyo pictures including one that's about five feet tall, Soushi's adoration of Ririchiyo seems a hell of a lot creepier.

I'd much rather have Ririchiyo and Kurata making sweet love with Nobara nowhere in sight.

- “Are you really going to leave and discard me” No… Soushi, Ririchiyo only want to go to the toilet!
- It’s a scene part where Ririchiyo wants to know more about Soushi to find something she can do for him.
- “Hey! Hey! You flattened me!” But you are already flattened!
- Karuta hasn’t come back home???
- Ririchiyo’s youkai form sure is awesome… simply the best!
- Ririchiyo welcome party!!!
- Yeah, Ririchiyo…right…nice way saying it!

Lot of shows surprising me this season…this one is no exception!

[something]

Episode 1:

- I decided that Ririchiyo was amazing and that I love her the moment I saw that zettai ryouiki. And then we got the rest of her, and all of it was also lovely. Art looks really fantastic in this series at first glance.
- Wait I need to gush about Ririchiyo more before moving on. Short cute girl with nice zettai ryouiki, long black hair and those lovely bangs... a character design tailored to drive me crazy with glee. Hidaka Rina's voice is up to the task of matching that design too. Man, what else did this character designer work on? ...Ookami-san, Tamayura, and Umimonogatari? Shiiiit no wonder I love the designs so much. Fantastic chibi/sd moments too. Conveys the mood perfectly.
- She's also very self-consciously tsundere. Man, it's like Alice from KamiMemo got a second chance at life with a good show. That's what I thought as soon as I saw her.
- Nakamura Yuuichi~~ <3 BLACK SPARKLES! Hahah I really like him already.
- Oh god Ririchiyo waking up after that nightmare, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that was sexy.

- Hanazawa Kanaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Bwhahaha, Karuta is fantastic. Befriending with... whatever the generic name of a "Bugle" is. Cone-shaped corn chips. Whatever.
- Hahah, Soushi is such a great character. He seems oblivious but is clearly quite stubborn. He and Ririchiyo are definitely going to be one of my favorite protagonist pairings of the season.
- I hear a Toyosaki Aki! Yes, she's a cute maid~
- Hikasa Youko too! This is totally one of the seiyuu porn shows of the season. Mainac! Her character seems to understand my taste in anime girls too!
- Haha and wow she is blunt about her intentions.
- Ririchiyo backstory. Pushes all my moe buttons. ;_; I swear someone made Ririchiyo just for me.
- And a sweet scene with Soushi. Yeah they're really awesome together.

- Then shit goes down, and... wow. Fucking top rate production values in this show. Everything flowed beautifully. Soushi is awesome, Nobara is awesome, Karuta is awesome (haha, I was expecting her to show up naked after she disappeared, but I guess a enormous demonic skeleton works too). And that scene with Soushi holding RIrichiyo's foot, holy crap, too hot.
- ...Next morning, Ririchiyo is totally wearing HomuHomu pantyhose. =D
- I wonder how long they'll make us wait to see Ririchiyo's youkai form.

Whelp, looks like there's a very good chance I'm importing 5 again this season. I guess that's the new normal for me. The only better first episode than this was Nise, and if I weren't such a huge Mayoi fan I would quite possibly say this was better.

I am also incredibly pleased by how this show is doing fanservice. They're not shy about it, but it all feels very very sexy and even... classy. Yes, including the pantyshots. That is SUCH a hard balance to strike and it was done with what seemed like the utmost ease in this episode, which excites the hell out of me if they can maintain this all season.

Episode 2:

- I am torn between wanting a lot more of Toyosaki's character Chino on the one hand, and on the other thinking it would be hilarious if every one of her scenes was just her cleaning at high speed, laughing and giggling happily all the way.
- Hahah, Ririchiyo comparing Soushi to the dogs keeps amusing me.
- I swear Hikasa's Nobara half sounds like Inoue Marina instead. And I want me some Nobara x Karuta!!
- Heh... I just find Soushi infinitely amusing. His ability to spin everything into a paean to Ririchiyo's glory and altruism doesn't seem like it's going to get old any time soon.
- Renshou is pretty awesome too.
- ...Ririchiyo with glasses. ::convulses in joy::

- Oh no, something happened to Karuta?
- ...Wow, Nobara. Wow. XD
- Anyways, off to fund Karuta!

- ...Oh. My. God. Yes. Ririchiyo's youkai form is a million times better than I could have imagined. She looks incredible. And pretty damned powerful. Yessssssss. I love her even more now! (And it's really hard not to make Shirakiin/Dovahkiin jokes.)

- Hahah, okay. There's no way around it. Chino is Yui (couldn't get a good matching shot with eyes open, yes they're different, but she wears contacts okay?) This is obviously just Yui's part time job while she's at college (she... just filled out in the chest a little. Or a lot.). She thought it looked like a nice place to work, and just took it without asking any questions when they showed her the maid uniform. She's utterly oblivious to the nature of Ayakashi-kan's inhabitants, which is why she's always running around giggling happily, without a care in the world.
- In really have to think that Soushi's attempt to decline the party was his way of giving Ririchiyo an opening to accept it. Well played, man.

Hahah, ED was pretty hilarious.

Post-ED:
- That open shirt... those legs... goddamn Ririchiyo what are you doing to me?
- That was the sweetest text message scene ever. ;___; Oh god I love love love love love them so much.

I'm impressed that this is Tsuda Naokatsu's debut as a lead director. He's done individual episode directing on a number of other shows so he's not new, but being in the lead has to be entirely different. So far, it's all brilliant. Already my #2 show of Winter.

So mean, What did Nobara ever do to deserve being left out from a yuri threesome? ;_; At least let her film it!

This show is for me, without any doubt the biggest surprise of the season and the biggest surprise since a very long time. I never thought it would be that good. Episode 1 just blow me away... This is without any doubt the best show ever done by David Producton!!!
