A fairly strong welcome back to the series. The first half of the episode was pretty much just shameless recap, though they didn’t recycle any animation, so it wasn’t all that bad. The second half was where it shined. Constant jumping around from person to person as they fought their opponents, and rather well animated to boot. I’m pretty sure that most of the masked Kenbu people were just puppets controlled by one of the others, so it looks like there’s about four or five new people with similar powers out to fuck over our demon hunters for this season. At least so far.

Also, anyone know where the subbed version is?

Hopefully some light will be shed on two characters we were teased with for the entire first season. The teachers Inugami and Maria both clearly know what’s up (maybe less so with Maria. It isn’t clear, but she does seem to have a part.) Since the name of the series Tokyo Majin Gakuen can be translated roughly Tokyo Spirit Academy or Tokyo Demon Academy it would be interesting to know if the school and its teachers play into the story more than we now know. Inugami did send them to Dr. Iwayama when Misato collapsed, so he at least seems to be on the good side. An ‘inugami’ in Japanese folklore is not necessarily a good thing, though.
