The preview made me go WTF? If there is a Yaoi scene (kissing or something) i'm automatically dropping this.

Are you serious? Oh come on! Surely there is more in this anime serie than a one scene of this....

He was about to rape him but then he stopped and went back to normal.

I guess I"m slightly more interested in this now. I really want to know what the fruit is for.

L5 ftw!

That was way too creepy x_x; Usually homo scenes are funny, but this just went way beyond the limit.. I hope that medicine Hiroshi got isn't some drug that makes him wanna kill himself..

I'm predicting that the girl in the wheelchair will be the next person who tries to rape Hiroshi.

Well now we know what role the hassaku play. This episode gave me mixed feelings about my previous assumption. Now it seems apparent that the towns people are either being experimented on by the head clinic or they all somehow got infected with a virus that causes them to act like wolves. I'm still not sure what the old side of the town is all about. Originally I posted that I thought they where the only real humans but now I'm not so sure.

At least it was different. The almost yaoi rape scene scared the shit out of me.

However, I understood the possibility of him being attracted to Hiroshi since he looks like a girl and is voiced by one.

I'd appreciate it if we got more than just a few flashes of scythe girl at the end of the episode cause she's the best part of this show (besides figuring out just wtf is going on)

Oh yay, more crazy yaoi next week.

The scene between Nemuru and her grandfather reminded me a bit, still wondering about the why behind what causes everyone who was born in the area to be attracted to Hiroshi...But not so much his sister. There's probably something yet to be revealed, the Sakaki man from the Bio Technology scene seems to hint at more along the lines of how Higurashi ran...

Although goodness, first the swimsuits, then Issei's infatuation with the sweater...Geez, I know Ryukishi's plots are known for their gruesome view on violence, but this is a whole different creeper territory in my book...Slightly paranoid about how far it'll be taken, because too much and I think it might make people completely lose track of the plot...><;;

Heck, unless that's what it's supposed to do. In which case, a well-planned move. ^^;

The purpose of hassaku was hinted at in this episode. And I assume there is also some sort of experimentation going on in the background. I'm guessing these wolves/people are trying to become completely human. What I don't get is, why all the wolves/people are only interested in Hiroshi, not his sister, dad, or Kaname. Is it just because Hiroshi smells better? Answering that sometime soon would be nice.

I'm sorry...how exactly is this show creepy? This has now gone to B movie bad. So it's greatly entertaining on that level. But, then to come here and read some of these comments is just icing on the cake.

That aside, I guess we've narrowed down the relationship between the hassaku and the townspeople. I don't see how the people are being experimented on (directly turning into wolves), since I feel like everything is pointing in the direction of the people using drugs (with essence of hassaku...since they're orange too...hurr durr) as a suppressant of the (let's just say) animalistic impulse (see what I did there). Nemuru's job is most likely to ritualistically dispose of particularly psycho ones that pose a threat. None of this, though, really factors in the old side of town. They're the wild card.

edit: I kind of like Annisa's theory.

This episode: Awkward.

Starting to get annoyed with the lack of central plot progression. Let us get back to how episode 1 ends and take off from there, thank you. I really hope that this whole anime isn't going to be devoted to the main guy little girl being chased around while being protected the entire time while he does nothing but complain.

He was barely able to swallow a pill without looking like a priss. :L Seeing as all the other notable characters in the anime are girls or apparently homosexual, I might as well be watching a shoujo. *headdesks*

How I'm seeing this is that the large jouga wolves that Hiroshi's dad was talking about, somehow found a way to become human through the local hospital and that odd technolyze company to stay on their land, or actual normal humans would take it over and take it from them. Yanno, the whole 'can't-beat-em-join-'em' stick. The hassaku are being used in medicine as a suppressant like Dhero said, and this is reaffirmed by the doctor guy talking to the girl who's obviously the scythe chick.

I'm just wondering where the interesting part is going to come in and whether it will before Hiroshi gets raped by Issei.

This, for the most part was another boring episode save the homolust scene which was hilarious. It does seem that the Hassaku has some sort of weird effect on some of the townspeople though, seemingly it must keep some of them from going crazy.

I also like the theory with the wolves becoming humans, and Nemuru's job is to take them out if this gets out of control. But the big picture is still shady, I still think there's much more we don't know about.

LOL @ that, and I reveiewed it here.

This episode was good for plot progression. I copied this from my blog, but here's a list of stuff I know now:

1.) Dr. Kushinada = Nemuru’s uncle, and he has something to do with the murders, as he seems to order Nemuru to do them. There’s always that nagging possibility that it isn’t her, though. This is Ryukishi, so showing her in all the suspicious scenarios in the world doesn’t make her the culprit. Just a thought.

2.) The hassaku. In the first episode, when all the students were “circling” Hiroshi, the wind blew and they stopped. In the second episode, Isuzu stopped coming on to Hiroshi after the wind blew. And in this one, Issei stopped coming onto Hiroshi after the juice container thingy broke open. The scent of the oranges keeps the “wolves” at bay, and since the hassaku harvest was poor this year, (as stated by Dr. Kushinada) more “wolves” are showing up.

3.) Mysterious man = Sakaki. I still don’t know why his medical business stuff is relevant.

4.) Issei has to take some kind of medicine, perhaps for his severe love of shotas? LOL, but seriously, he has to take it for something. And his sweater sniffing is creepy.

5.) Isuzu annoys me.

6.) Hiroshi completely and utterly fails at fishing.

7.) There's now one person in the ED that hasn't been shown yet.

That's really all I got for this episode. I'm looking forward to the next one =)

so i'm guessing everything has to do with: wolf deities who ensure a good harvest through sacrifices or something, and hassaku has a calming effect on them

Painfully obvious. Either that or Ryukishi's trolling.

Are you serious? The guy almost freaking raped you and you just let it slide with 'I'm joking'? What is this I don't even

Also, was that Madao as Nemuru's uncle? And yay, they finally introduce the whiskey guy.

I mean, look:


Izusu is the new Yuka. With her ugly voice, horny personality and fat ass, she is either is a whore or just born to be. UGH.

After watching 3 episodes of her, I feel ashamed to be a girl : (

I get the feeling that tsumuhana is the wolf tribe......If this is true,then hassaku festival have more meaning in it.
I now only notice that the 12 chinese zodiac is carve on the blade of the scythe.
Hiroshi seem to be targeted(observed)....during the fishing,hospital also...very mysterious~~
(actually the plot is easily grasp(example camera focus,sound effect,color and etc).....unlike Tatakau Shisho )

The scythe girls are on the move and the hassaku festival is coming......hehee
i bet Nemuru is the scythe girl and the government is observing Hiroshi because he has something to do with the wolf clan <<( this is a very wild guess )

I'm wishing a certain character is going to be killed off down the line and that seems to be the only reason I'm grasping to right now to continue this show.

"Hopefully certain person will be killed off later....and then I'll laugh. HARD and then celebrate cuz the show will be in a better place"
<---oh yeah....that's what's going through my mind right now in terms of the ONLY motivation I have left to watch this show....at this point....

I think the real question should be who are those people in the old town, are they human or wolves? Since we have mixed people in the new town and it doesn't seem there is any Hassaku tree in the old town either. It could be like by coming the new town they believed that they can live more like a normal human but instead they are being trapped in this Hassaku tree cage. And the Hassaku itself is also a questionable, it is a normal fruit or a experimental fruit?
