Episode 5 - HS

I think we could have survived without a sasuke, but I guess a rival was the only thing that could really fire up the MC now that he has got over his total dislike for the exorcist work. His wife didn't seem to do the trick, despite what the series description says, even if she can exasperate him in other ways, but a male rival apparently could. I just wish it had been something else than a sasuke. At least there didn't seem to be a triangle.

Seems like he does have a lot of catching up to do. He's fortunately not a total one move wonder, but obviously he's lagging behind with his years (?) of doing nothing. He also needs to do something to conquer his trauma.

I thought this episode was a step back. There was no need to make him an inept Exorcist. I mean, I don't mind that he needs to catch-up and what not, but at no point has it been hinted that he was this useless and inept as he was shown here. Felt too forced, pilling everything on unnecessarily.

He wasn't really much of a likable MC (quite annoying to me) to begin with.
