O.K., these girls scare the shit out of me... I like it.

The way their eyes are changing when they go in ''psycho mode'' is disturbing.

I wonder who's that guy that tried to kill him. He seemed like a regular Joe.

Next episode, I'm sure we'll see the scene we saw at the very beginning. The setting is perfect : alone in an house with four crazy psycho girl and bloody bat. I wonder if he'll win this duel, even if in the end, he doesn't really have proof against them.

THIS!! And it's 3:34 AM now -.-

Keiichi signed his death flag after writing his "will", it's worrying me. Damn, how could Rena changed from being afraid to being scary when she walked home with Keiichi, unless "something" took over her mind. Ugh, Keiichi's fucked now, the cop should have sent him some bodyguards.

I actually really enjoyed this episode, it was a big improvement over the last two.

While it wasn't really all that scary, it was still pretty damn entertaining. Also I have to agree that this MC is a bit of a wuss. Kid needs to grow a backbone, these girls are half his size for Christ's sake lol.

Yes! Exactly. He needs to carry a small knife or switch blade with him.

But who can really blame him? Seemingly teen isn't a good time to develop that kind of skill.

As far as the girls are concerned, I would be shitting my pants every time I see them. I mean, there's still some doubt but there's hardly room for it considering those demonic eyes and their demeanor.

This anime is really good. It feels like I'm right there with Keiichi; although, I probably wouldn't make the exact same decisions as he does.

It has progressed very quick in 3 episodes. The only non suspicious girl is the one with long blue-purple hair - but knowing this anime I'm sure she'll start acting creepy too.

Why am I watching this so late in the night... I'm really frightened now, lol.
My heart was pounding really fast during the whole episode, is that any good?
Anyway, the girls are so scary. So scary. I would move the hell out of that village in Keiichi's place.

Is just me that saw that the green-haired girl was carrying a gun when she was with the other girl visiting the protagonist..??
And more, he really didn't see that something was written on that baseball bat..?

This anime is annoying me...

-The protagonist acts like a dumb sometimes and says dumb things sometimes, an example: "I didn't say nothing about you"... C'mon...
-They act like mad and highly suspicious but later they talk and act like nothing of that happened..

WTF?! -.-"

Blood pressure rising. Tingling sensation. Cold sweats...
Am I having heart failure right now or are all these symptoms of a great suspense show?

I almost died at the scene when Mion held that squeaky frontdoor.
Well, it certainly doesn't help that I'm watching this demonic shit so late at night :(

RUN KEIICHI! RUN!!!

How can the girls be totally cute n innocent in one moment, and then totally intimidating the next?
The eyes are shown differently in these two situations, in the first, they are shown as normal anime eyes dark in colour, but when they are being scary, the eye colour can be seen, with slit like pupils.. I don't know if this means anything though.. Maybe they are being possessed?
On the other hand I keep thinking that its the inspector who is the main bad guy, and that the girls look suspicious because we don't know their side of the story.

I like how mysterious everything still is, having the girl just be plain evil seems like an obvious red herring, so there is probably more to it. I like the atmosphere this anime creates, even though it is kinda too colourful and happy for my taste still. But I assume that will change quickly at the finale of this arc :P

My my, are the girls possessed? And similarity with Satoshi means something doesn't it? No matter how cute the girls are, they are fucking creepy. Also the fact that Rena followed Keiichi. WTF?

I got to appreciate Keiichi for what he did. I wouldn't have had the guts to do the same. Also the realism in this episode.

I HAVE to watch the next episode. This just might become my binge anime after a long time.

Well, seems like Keiichi is actually targeted by the girls, yet the girls don't act strange at all until their eyes go blank. My theory is that all of them have some alternate consciousness that works as "the curse," basically a supernatural consciousness. Thrilling episode.

This is the first episode of this series i have voted a 5 the suspense is killing me. The needle it the food would of been enough, i would of been long gone. At first i wasn't a big fan of the girl character designs but now i feel how having cute innocent girls as the main suspects adds more of a eerier vibe.

I can't seem to stop watching! Damn, this is nerve wracking. But those two girls are seriously dangerous.

The way their personality change and that needle on the food and the van. Seriously, Keiichi will be killed!

But Keiichi shouldn't show how vulnerable and scared he is. And If will be in his position, I will make a way to get out of that town as soon as possible!

I actually though the food was poisoned, so I really questioned his intelligence when he started eating after they went all crazy eyes on him. They definitely did a good job with this show as a thriller though, the suspense is quite intense. I wonder if it'll really make sense in the end though, Rena and Mion being the bad guys seems a bit too obvious at this point.
