Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan - Demon Capital
ぬらりひょんの孫 千年魔京At first glance, Nura Rikuo seems like nothing more than a normal middle-schooler. In actual fact, he is grandson of Nurarihyon, master of a youkai clan. Having only recently resolved the hostilities between the Nura Clan and the Shikoku Yokai, Rikuo finds no rest as an ancient enemy of the Nura Clan, Haguromo-Gitsune, resurfaces. After 400 years of inactivity, Haguromo-Gitsune suddenly sweeps through Kyoto with overwhelming power. (Source: AniDB)

Damn you Netflix, why do you start on Season 2?! And only have half of the season?!
So confusing.
Let me save anyone looking into this anime a bit of time – Netflix only has the first half of Season 2 available (on Canadian Netflix). If you decide you like the anime enough to continue through all 24 (26 with recaps) episodes, skip 13 and 26 because they’re re-cap episodes (only wasted the 20 minutes the first time), and find Demon Capital / Sennen Makyou.
As for the actual anime, I appreciated the animation style, the characters, and even the bit of humour they threw. I enjoyed this anime – not my favourite, but a cute watch even for missing the first season!
I am terribly conflicted, however, on Nura Rikuo’s character. In yokai form, he’s a grown adult, but as a human he’s only twelve. I feel like a pervert. 😓

I was one of the few that did enjoy the first season. I loved the premise, the characters introduced, and the plot line. I admit, there was a fair amount of fluff because of the lack to character development, but that all changes 2nd season.The 1st season was one of those " Wow, the main character has it all, and he has it easy! All those super powers just come to him, everyone loves him!" But that was precisely the flaw.However, what the 1st season lacks, the 2nd season fleshes it out into completion. Instead of having it all easy, Rikuo encounters harsh realities that make him realize, "Maybe he isn't the shizz." He needed this humbling, and it allowed him to develop as a character, in order for him to even be considered the 3rd Heir.The characters are brought back in this season, with a few interesting additions, and a lot more background information. It may seem tedious at first, but it's apparent that this information is necessary, and soon develops its own charm.But there's always that 1 episode that serves to recap everything. Just a little bit annoying, but I can't wait to watch the next season and see Rikuo's continuation of his journey to become the Third Heir along with his posse.
