those butterfly demons are actually pretty terrifying once they start using those transformation spells and watching miko try to protect the seal case while her sister was in trouble makes you feel really stressed out
ptilol_385
The music during the sisterhood moments is actually decent but everything else about this chapter feels like a step down from the original series
gigai_ghost_476
the music got really creepy when that seal case started acting up and i thought miko looking actually scared for once while those butterfly demons surrounded her and her sister was a lot to take in
moe_justice
this episode was way too slow and the way they keep recycling the same tentacle stuff is getting boring because the mahoroba demons dont feel like a real threat to miko at all anymore
meninas_486
the whole plot about the shikima brain feels like a lot of talking for a show like this and it would be better to see more of the sisters fighting off the butterfly demons instead of all the lore
ami_mizuno
I really struggled to follow what was happening with the Mahoroba plot this time because the version I found had so many weird cuts and jumps in the middle of the action and it feels like half the episode is missing and it makes the sisters look way more helpless against the demons than they usually are
corkus_the_cynic_192
The way the butterfly demons just pop up out of nowhere to grab the seal case feels lazy and I wish the sisters fought back harder
futakuchi_onna
I think the way Miko handles those butterfly demons is cool because she never gives up even when things get weird and the animation on the mahoroba powers looks better than the first two chapters
saix
That first look at the Shikima Brain was okay and it definitely adds more to the scale of the universe even if the animation is sketchy
mikasasimp
Miko getting overwhelmed by the butterfly demons in that cave was the only part that felt like the stakes were actually high for the seal case
pamelas_father_280
It is so obvious where the censors hacked this episode apart, and it leaves the Mahoroba motivation feeling completely empty without the explicit parts to bridge the scenes.
nabooru_268
The animation during the Shikima Brain explanation looks so much older than the first OVA series and it really takes the weight out of the Mahoroba threat
kittan_bachika_188
I thought the Shikima Brain lore was actually kind of cool even if the show is mostly just trashy

Watching Miko and her sister get cornered by those butterfly demons was actually pretty tense, but the edited scenes make the pacing feel super choppy.

I hate how much they cut from the UK version because the butterfly demon stuff makes zero sense without the full scenes and now Miko just looks confused for no reason
james_345
It feels like the plot is finally moving toward the Shikima Brain now that the Mahoroba have made their move against the sisters, Miko usually handles herself well but seeing her struggle against the butterfly demons was a change of pace. The animation holds up well for the genre and the music during the fight scenes keeps the energy high enough to stay engaged
raifort
The scene with the seal case almost being stolen made me so nervous because Miko was completely pinned down by the Mahoroba
sakurabloom
Watching the sister get caught in that trap was pretty rough because those butterfly demons do not play around at all
xxpogchampxx
The way those Mahoroba villains keep coming for the seal case is getting repetitive and they need to just get to the Shikima Brain already
zashiki_zenin_96
I really liked seeing Miko fight off those butterfly demons near the end and the animation for the tentacles was actually decent for an old ova
EPISODE CONTEXT
As the third of four episodes, Chapter 3 sits at the critical turning point of this OVA series — the conflicts established in Episodes 1 and 2 now broaden significantly with the introduction of rival ninja adversaries who bring their own agenda against the Shikima world. This episode directly escalates the tension and expands the narrative scope, functioning as the primary setup chapter that positions all major players for the finale in Chapter 4.
