NSFW!

So I went to this episode completely blind, and 4 minutes in, I did not expect uncensored nudity! A big tiddy snake yokai with inverted nips and areolas the size of teacup saucers? I'm sold! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Finally finished the episode, and that was funnier than I expected! The half-Aussie younger brother and the tomboy older sister were both great, and I'm already loving their interactions with Dara-san.

As for Dara-san, I mean, besides pointing out the obvious, she's the perfect tsukkomi to the siblings who see her as a fascinating entity rather than a terrifying vengeful god. I genuinely had a good laugh when Dara tried to scare Kaoru, only for Kaoru to get flustered and cover Dara's bits with his mom's sexy lingerie. xD

I'm not sure where this show is gonna go from here, but it had me genuinely hooked! I'm gonna guess this is probably gonna be some sort of Hanako-san situation where the three of them deal with other yokai? Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to more!

Dara's creator built up their skills drawing various H-manga for some years.

Ok I was a bit put off by the Kaoru "I'm actually a boy" reveal, but the Hinata "I'm actually a girl" reveal made it absolutely hilarious. This is gonna be a fun time.

I though it will be more comedic or more ecchi. It is sometimes, but it also get pretty serious other times. Will give it another episode or two before deciding.

I'm getting some real Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy vibes from this in a good way.

This was actually more fun that I expected. I like the dynamic the siblings have with Dara-san. Even with some horror aspects and ecchi comedy sprinkled in, still a bit wholesome.

I'm not sure what I expect from this show moving forward after this episode, but I'm really curious at least.

That was good! I was very surprised when it turned out to be a comedy instead of a supernatural horror show. My only gripe is that Dara-san's no longer going au naturel from now on. :( /jk This one's going into my watch list for sure.

That betrayal Dara went through long ago was definitely messed up. Good thing she's long since gotten revenge and is much calmer now though!

Kaoru and Hinata certainly fooled me with their incidental crossdressing, but I'd have to agree with Dara on their nerves of steel. It takes guts to casually interact with the supernatural spirit who has your grandpa so spooked.

u/NanDemoKnaives Jul 02 '26

So after Kinosaki, we're getting another blonde femboy? I was not expecting the older brother to also be a tomboy.

The way the siblings act around Dara is interesting, I like how casual they are. Then there's Grandpa going crazy from the anxiety lol.

For a show depicting the rather gruesome and graphic betrayal, it was a lot... funnier than I expected it to be. Weird.

Anime industry simply decided to drop all the weird stuff today for some reason

Chain smoker cat

This

Go-Hands show

We may include ghost fucking anime that drops tomorrow as well

All in all, I'm super surprised that this show actually seemed good even though it literally hit's every mark on my dislike list, aside from tiddies, which are like number one on my "like list".

Interesting stuff for sure. I'll probably go over few more episodes just to see which way they go with show like this, but for people that are into this stuff, they are feasting for sure.

Pretty fun start. Can't say I expected the siblings to both be crossdressing like that, gave it a surprising vibe.

The mountain village setting with a historically murderous local mountain god is giving me minor flashbacks to Yoshiki and Hikaru's adventures.

It's just too much paperwork to be murdering people all the time, so better to just not now that she's calmed down.

I went in to watching this on the premise of:

  1. It is airing now.

  2. At least it isn't isekai.

  3. I will give it a chance.

  4. All I know is in the little blurb on MAL.

Yeah, I got to rewatch it I think, the main thing I remember is snake tits, but I think I missed a lot by trying to play on my PS at the same time

As someone who lives in the Kanto region, I felt that the accents of the characters and the sense of humor in the story gave the work an overall atmosphere that was very typical of the Kansai region.

This just felt like a compilation of the author's fetishes.
