Best anime of the season so far, imo. Fumika's cool, and I like how there's so much depth to the characters. I actually like that the series seems to be in 2-3 episode arcs. Short but well executed stories help keep my interest. :P I too don't like Ali Project--Shigofumi could've had a better OP. ED suits it perfectly, though. |

Bah, I hate being right when it's about such sad things as poor girls being molested with porn and modeling, booo. But, I concur, this episode was really good and almost brought tears to my eyes. She was an awesome psycho, but well-deserved and so loving towards her sister and totally awesome with the short hair. I really liked this episode, makes me sad to hear that the third one will be altered. |

Yay for PROJECT ALI opening song. The instrumentals is always good for a dark mood like this. Definitely my favorite winter season judging from the 2 episodes so far. Hopefully, episode 3 is as good due to that recent events in Japan. This anime have a good chance get picked to air on North American TV but it's only 12 episodes. Still, I'm expecting more out of this series. Wonder what's next for the kawaii imouto? |

Interesting premise. I wonder if we'll begin to get more of a plot, or if it will just continue to go around with letters being delivered. Hellmonkey said: My sentiments, as well.I don't think this is as great as everyone says it is but it's still pretty good. I'm going to keep watching. |

kashim said: So far a 7ish show to me. Nothing awesome to it, in my opinion. I have grown accustomed to 'shocking' themes. Elfen Lied was a landmark, it seems. Shame is that it'll probably turn out to be 'double' or 'triple' episode anime with no main plot. Opening theme was just plain annoying. Still, good animation but plot needs polishing. You just like to suck the fun out of everything, don'cha. |

A real good episode. I have to say the show is not letting me down at all. |

These first two episodes are the strongest opening salvo for a series I've seen in a long long time. I'm a fan of J.C. Staff's work and I hope they can keep this level of energy and quality up. I am perfectly happy with a show made up of individual unrelated stories about people getting letters delivered to them. It reminds me of Kino no Tabi, not just the character designs, but the feel of the story as well which is a big plus in my book. |

I'm really liking the way this series is turning out, the music, the animation, the character interaction, it's all absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to see more! |

The difference being the OP song for Noir was actually good. After Rozen Maiden, every anisong Ali Project has done has been pretty crappy, and this one is no exception. Sigh. I used to like their stuff too. |

Ditto. tungwene said: It reminds me of Kino no Tabi, not just the character designs, but the feel of the story as well which is a big plus in my book. I was thinking that too... Fumika reminds me A LOT of Kino and that staff is a long, skinny version of that motorcycle, right? ...Well, I really liked Kino's Journey, so I'll keep watching this for a while too. |

Great ep. I didn't expect her to die like that, but when I saw the tarp covering the rocket I instantly knew "she is going to get shot I know it" AND she did. Lmao. Good episode can't wait for the next one >_< |

Great episode indeed, I find it oddly paralyzing that the roof on which Shouta worked on his rocket belonged to the very same building the pictures of Asuna were taken in. Loving it, can't wait for more. |

this episode was a nice ending to their story. I honestly though she was going to kill her self or something before watching this ep but once the cops where introduced then I figured she would get shot or something. Its interesting to see that the shigofumi letters don't have to be letters they can be physical objects too, like a Gun lol. |

Fuhrer said: Everything was done really well from the animation to music. Im not a fan of the OP however since Im so sick of ALI project having the same damn sound to everyone of their songs. haha agreed. I said to myself, I heard this somewhere before..then I see it's the Ali Project. Yay, the rocket flew! Crap, they both died. |

O_O That short hair was pretty cool. I like somewhat more ''heavy'' anime so now and then... That gun is pretty cool. I didn't know some people can see Fumika. Anyway, I wonder what Asuna's letter said... Poor Miku. I recognized the OP as the same feeling as the Rozen Maiden OP's and I was right xD It doesn't really seem to fit on some sort of way. Oh well, it's not that bad... |

Oh well, it's not that bad... I'm guessing her letter told her sister that she was the one that killed their dad, since during this episode she mentioned something about it being time she told her sister what happened. I feel bad for the sister, shes alone now with no one :(. |
