| What's up with all the disappointment left and right? This episode is amazing. Much much better than the first one. Heck the pacing is pretty good and 10 episodes left is more than enough to cover everything. They are going for one song per episode so it makes sense Jin only focus on Momo in this one. |

I don't exactly have a problem with introducing one character per episode/one song per. However, it is short, and depending on the next 2-3 episodes it'll really show how the pacing will be. Due it only being a 12 episode anime, it certainly will be interesting. |
|
| i actually liked this episode It was kinda draggy a little in the beginning but it was still a good episode |
| Not bad at all, not bad. I'm only watching this because of SHAFT. But I must admit that I do not dislike every episode about a character and its "powers". |
 |
| very good episode the animation style blends perfectly with the plot also liked the voice of Momo, and your answers in test kkk next episode already presents the Makakushi Dan and so the story will make more sense I really liked the opening and the ending _________ episódio muito bom o estilo de animação combina perfeitamente com o enredo também gostei da voz da Momo, e de suas respostas na prova kkk proximo episodio já apresenta o Makakushi Dan e assim o historia vai fazer mais sentido gostei muito da abertura e do encerramento |
  |
| Not as good as the first episode, but still decent. |

| Eh... what? The first episode was going for a mystery, then suddenly it changes focus to this new girl doing absolutely nothing, and we get barely a glimpse of the mystery at the end of the episode. Seriously? |

| Momo Kisaragi introduced An idol and someone who catches almost everyone's attention. Lol Momo's imaginating being a first year again xD Wow, she managed to get a 2 on her test? lolol. Uh, she ate the book? LOL. That song while they were getting chased around was pretty good. Wasn't bad, but felt very slow. |
 |
| This was so good, I don't know why all these haters are bitching oh and that opening <3 |
 |
| Where's my Ene?! |
| Episode began with Momo running and getting greeting left and right. I felt that this scene dragged long and the animation wasn't even that good. OP plays. Daze. Enhanced graphics and Ene's photobombing the entire OP :D Momo and Kenjirou talk - Kenjirou doing head tilts Momo's past revealed - it seems that her father died while he saved her from drowning? Momo's weird powers started affecting people Art Club President wasn't impressed with her powers. Aww feels, the curse of attention. I really like how a musical player takes the form of the person and the shadows shows how they act. Either this is art or just lazy animation. Momo went to outside in a hoodie and met an unnamed boy (who probably is a main character since he's heavily detailed compared to the others) Unnamed boy calls Momo an 'old hag' XD Then Kisaragi Attention plays and they start running. Kido appears and seems to be targeting Momo? Animation is definitely better than the first episode lol Episode 2: Kisaragi Attention 7/10 for me |
| I liked this episode more than the first one. Momo is great. |
 |
| It's really just my preference (probably) but holy shit do I hate the backgrounds, I think I hate everything about the art except for the artstyle of the characters. I'm pretty sure that Momo was supposed to be going to school in that scene with Kenjirou and her awful grades but that building did not look like a school. I think I got more reminded of a freaking subway than a school, except that it's way brighter and makes no sense! Seriously, every damned building just looks weird, in what time period is this story set in?! At least there was more color in this episode. Ranting aside, I think that this episode was better than the first one for the fact that it showed a lot about Momo but even then the flashbacks looked so weird, why can't things look normal, is that too much to ask? Being a fan of the songs, I wasn't as mad as I should've been for the screentime wasted on Momo and Hibiya running away while Kisaragi Attention was playing. It's like watching Utena go up the stairs in every duel: it's just as boring. Speaking of wasted screentime, that conversation between Kenjirou and Momo took too much time that could've been well spent on more important things like Mekakushi Dan and the actual continuation of episode 1 but oh well, I guess that'll only happen in the next episode if we're lucky enough. Even though I said all of that, I really liked the insight into Momo's past, it's easily the best part of the episode even when I'm biased towards Momo meeting Hibiya because of Otsukimi Recital. I honestly like the Opening more than the Ending but that's really just my preference so whatever. For now, I can only hope that it gets better... ^^' |
| The scene where they were running away from the people with the song playing reminded me of Scooby-Doo |
| What did I just watch? :/ I am confused. |

| This is very Shaft...too much of the symbolism goes over my head. Seems that many people were replaced by devices that play voices in place of dialogue. Also, I'm having too much trouble trying to figure out what kind of show this is, what it's about, and what's going on. This episode was about an idol character and the previous one was about a NEET and his computer's AI. They have nothing to do with each other. Maybe the first few episodes of this show are meant to introduce each character separately and then their lives will come together later, I don't know. Usually something this enigmatic is a sign that the show is either gonna be a masterpiece or random crap. |
 |
| Okay first of all some info before any of you continuing whining on how this is completely ruined by SHAFT. 1. Story is created and supervised by Kagerou Project original creator; Jin 2. It will not follow the manga but it will have some similarities. 3. For the newcomers, the first and second is completely different than each other because of reasons to come. What are they? You will know soon |
| Don't attribute maliciousness when stupidity is enough to explain what happens |
| Damn it's been a while since i seen people this salty having not heard of Kagerou Project i can't say if this was bad or good compare to the Manga but i'm still interested things i know so far the people all have their own story lines so i guess at some point there gonna tie together they also glow red eyes i guess on a basic understanding its whenever they show emotions to something they don't like? Finally i'm supposed to not know what the fuck is going on right now. |
 |
| Those symbols... Does somebody care enough to explain it to me? |
WE SHOULD ALL GET ALONG~! >:3 |
| For me the episode was really boring although I guess it is necessary to slowly introduce each character. I will watch a few more episodes but I think I might drop this. |

| Momo failing her test when she thought that she aced was funny. The wind blowing on the teacher was just as good. I felt somewhat bad for Momo, how she can't live normally. The story telling thing at the end, it makes me curious... I can't help but bring Chobits into mind for the story telling. I almost thought this was a different anime, until they showed the hooded girl. |
 |
| Better than the first episode - more composed and interesting but still it feels disconnected and lacks a direction. Is it going to be the same throughout? A bit of an introduction to each character and then onto the next? That's like Starry Sky. :/ I love the ED btw. Never change it. |
| WAAH, I thought Momo was supposed to like, go to the mall where she also sees Shintaro? And she helps hostages escape..? Or something? Idk can't remember. Wth was with the first half o.o Honestly, I feel Shaft is spending way too much effort on Nisekoi and barely any effort at all for Mekakucity Actors. |

| Ugh, I hate characters like Momo. |
| Let's wait before we complain. I know Shaft has his reasons |
| The animation is kinda annoying me and I'm disappointed with this episode, but I really loved the music part, it was awesome. Well... next one. |
| Do I have to have knowledge of the source material for this show to make sense or be more appealing? Because honestly, I'm not enjoying this at all :/ |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Better than the first episode, mostly due to Momo's backstory. I felt like the art style and music were perfect for the flashback. That being said, I still think they could have tied this in to the previous episode and cut out some of the unnecessary conversation. It feels like they're trying to build up to one decisive moment, but for now, the anime is lacking (ironically) the style and energy per chapter that the manga had. |
xchee said: Do I have to have knowledge of the source material for this show to make sense or be more appealing? Because honestly, I'm not enjoying this at all :/ Not really. They've only adapted the songs "Jinzou Enemy" and "Kisaragi Attention" with a bit of "Lost Time Memory" and "Death God Record" It shouldn't make sense up until Episode 3 when everything ties up. The backstories of the other characters would piece the puzzle altogether. I doubt Jin would write an anime filled with questions without answers. |
| I don't really get the hate, besides the fact that the show can be a little slow. Personally, I thought the episode was great and told Momo's story well. |
| I got so happy when I heard Kisaragi Attention in the background as Momo was running, can you believe how excited I was when the song actually started playing! N-no, I didn't get teary eyed watching the ED. They kinda dragged this episode along when they could've already introduced the Mekakushi Dan and told Shintaro what happened when he was held hostage. iLostReason said: Can't blame R4vel too much though, Kisaragi Attention didn't have Hibiya and a few of the scenes are similar since they mixed both songs into the anime. This is probably confusing to non-fans.No no.This is Otsukimi Recital, the song from this episode is Kisaragi Attention: http://youtu.be/rk-wPp9Ru3I |

| I excepted a lot worse from all these nasty comments, but the episode was actually pretty ok. I kinda liked how they added more scenes for Momo. |
| wow gay |
| love how KagePro gets an anime.but... it gets shafted. |
  |
| Haven't listened to any of the songs or read the manga/LN so I'm going into this blind. Definitely better then the last episode, but still confused... Hope they can clear everything from last episode and this episode with the next episode. Curious what the "red eyes" and the girl in the 1st episode talking to Shintaro is about. :] Like the new opening but some parts felt better in the previous version, ending was nice and calming. Can any Kagepro fan tell me how the adaptation is so far?, from a non-fan perspective it feels like its going slow since these past 2 episodes were a setting up the story for the upcoming episodes? |
SrachcII said: Kind of off topic but w/e, went to the US premiere of 3rd madoka movie and we got to ask the president of shaft why every one of their shows are "monogatari" esque. It's because everything is directed or art directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, so rather then it being "monogatari" its more just Shinbo's very noticable art direction and style. Or to generalize it further, its the "shaft style", since Shinbo basically directs every show produced by Shaft.Why is this show monogatari? It is almost the same thing. |

The adaptation is doing well. Episode 1 adapted the song and manga part "Jinzou (Artificial) Enemy" which is basically Ene's first song. We get some foreshadowing of Lost Time Memory too. Episode 2 adapted the song and manga part "Kisaragi Attention" which is basically all about Momo. "Death God Record" aka the Monster Story at the end of the ED theme is also there. Episodes 1 & 2 make up 2/3 of the first light novel "in a daze" Everything's doing well and I suppose it's meant to be slow as hell. Aside from the animation (Shaft's doing a great job but they could've done better like Shidu) and the slow-pacing AND Ene's Out-Of-Character-Virus, it's well done :33 |
| meh, still don't like the whole animation style. seeing the people replaced by objects was especially annoying. but aside from that it was alright i guess. though not really much happened.. |
 |
| Why shaft.. :| the strange portrayal |
