| 2:10pm | Kekkaishi ep. 10 |  | | | [Episode 10: The Shikigami Chocolate Battle] [Enjoyment Value: 9/10] [Thoughts] I laughed so hard while watching this episode. The entire thing with the Shikigami was just too priceless to resist, especially when he performed his special move. xD I was wondering if he had any power at all since he was... | | |
| 5:10am | Kekkaishi ep. 9 |  | | | [Episode 9: The Dangerous High School Teacher Shikigami Choco Battle] [Enjoyment Value: 9/10] [Thoughts] Typical popular teacher who turns out to be anything but. It was interesting to find out that he himself wasn’t responsible for what was going on but rather it was some insect-like Ayakashi.... | | |
| 4:05am | Kekkaishi ep. 8 |  | | | [Episode 8: Yoshimori-like Days] [Enjoyment Value: 9/10] [Thoughts] Very awesome episode. There may not have been much in relation to plot progress but there was plenty of action. I tend to like episodes like this a lot since it usually shows a character’s growth in skill, strength, and experience.... | | |
| 9:30pm | Kekkaishi ep. 7 |  | | | [Episode 7: The Best Cake] [Enjoyment Value: 8.5/10] [Thoughts] The confectioner from episode 5, Masahiko, returns and Yoshimori wants to take an active role in helping him pass on. Much of the episode is about helping Masahiko speak to his brother and in the end they manage to get the little brother... | | |
| 8:40pm | Kekkaishi ep. 6 |  | | | [Episode 6: Sakura at night in Karasumori] [Enjoyment Value: 8/10] [Thoughts] It was about time Yuri had some spotlight. She’s been shown to have the ability to see what others can’t see for a while after all so I suppose it was only a matter of time. It was a pretty fun episode though despite... | | |
| 5:31pm | Kekkaishi 21 - Shishio makes an entrance! | | | | Yes! Turning point of the storyline is here. This week, we get the introduction of Shishio, the slitty eyed dude that we have been seeing in the OP and ED that has that bigass claw hand that is insanely powerful. He hails from Yoshimori’s brother’s division, and is here basically for... | | |
| 10:55am | Kekkaishi #21 | | | | “I’ll never be cruel to a Gen and tonic again.” | | |
| 5:34am | Kekkaishi Episode 10 - Shikigami Chocolate Battle | | | | While Yoshimori uses a shikagami to try and get some amazing chocolate cake, Tokine’s cockroach phobia gets the better of her.Despite the somewhat brief description, this is a really, really good episode. Sure, it’s still “filler” per se in that there’s no plot, but | | |
| 12:10pm | Kekkaishi 19 | | | | It really speaks to the infamy of this series that it took over 2 weeks for a decent raw to get from Share to a torrent for episode 19. | | |
| 5:42am | Kekkaishi Episode 9 - Dangerous High School Teacher | | | | Guess what? There’s a dangerous teacher at the high school!This episode was mildly entertaining, despite Yuri’s bizarre vocal antics, mostly because despite being quite clearly filler (I hope the show’s not going to get too bogged down in going nowhere) I can hope that the | | |

| 6:25pm | Kekkaishi Episode 8 - Yoshimori-like Days | | | | Filler of the highest order here as Yoshimori and Tokine team up to take down an ice-wielding kitsune with a rubber kekkai.Sure, it’s filler, but it’s actually quite nicely done - it’s nice to see that the kekkai powers allow for some variety in methods etc. as there was some | | |
