Apparently 1983 was a very good year... for MURDER!!! *DUH DUH DUHHHHN!* Holy sh*t! All that talk about how he wasn't gonna go down as easily & he was taken right down. I have a feeling that I didn't pay enough attention to all the names and circumstances leading up to this. Sh*t! I was all set to hate on this show. Now I've fallen right into its trap.

I've already seen a few more episodes of the anime, read reviews, etc... And now I know the series is based on a visual novel with multiple endings and one arc of the anime shows only one of these. That's why the story seems to end after 4 episodes.

I think knowing that is necessary to understand the 5th one. Otherwise you'll get confused. :)

wow they are already dead. Man this just keeps getting better and better every episode!

Really full of suspense. And also its really fast paced. IT fits about 2 episodes worth of stuff in every episode. I like it.

Absolutely brilliant. Superb pacing, genuinely frightening atmosphere of being shut-in, the sinister crying of cicadas...everything falls into place. I really hope the quality won't drop as this goes on because so far, this was enthralling.

possessed? Rena and Mion are scary... and finally, all the leads are dead

So, 4 episodes in, 3 main characters dead...that sound about right! Right?! XD

But seriously, this series just got a whole lot more interesting...even if Rena's laugh was just a bit too 'super-villain'-ish for me to take totally seriously :-/

Ok so after watching the 1st 4 ep i can say the only part that I found uncomfortable was when the girl told him the fate of the previous owner of the bat. Besides that, i have been laughing pretty hard through this whole story.
After watching this first arc i have the feeling that the girls really didn't want to kill him. But they just couldn't tell him the reality as he would go balls crazy... which still did happened since he learn everything from the old police officer.
Anyways fun stuff
huh?

These people know how to do horror and make you feel it
I really liked how they zoomed out the camera when she was standnig outside the door.. or when they focused on her hand when closed the door in it
That was some epic minutes of horror

oh.. and did anyone notice how they react to lies..?

WTF? O_O
Seriously, what happened? Is there really a supernatural being making people suicidal? Or did they actually inject that thing into Keiichi before he beat them up to pulp? Anyway, those facial expressions were priceless. Disturbing and creepy (especially Rena's) but absolutely amazing.

Damnnn, whaaaat.

It always sucks in every show kinda knowing that the main character is bound to always survives. Way to twist things around. Kinda shocking to see this development after 4 episodes. Gotta watch at least 1 more tonight.

Fantastic episode.Just - at first I thought it was ridiculous for Oyashiro-sama to exist.But it's so obvious that characters are possesed by something.All that mood changes can't be normal, and it happens to so many characters.
I kinda felt that Keichi will face the destiny he faced-although he killed Rena and Mion he will cut his throat somehow.I just assumed and it happened o.O
Characters will came back for sure xDD I heard that this season is confusing :'D
Also this first chapter wasn't so horrific.It was more like thrilling :)

Sigh, so the cause was an all powerful, all knowing supernatural being that controls and corrupts people. Yawn.

When the antagonist is eons ahead of the protagonist in terms of resources and knowledge, it just becomes no fun to watch.
And despite the broken english, that ending theme is really fitting.

I dont get it 2 main killers and 1 protagonist are dead and there are still many more episodes to go. This show is super suspenseful and so confusing in a good way.

Wow. Just wow. Normally this kind of thing takes half a series to unfold. After 4 chapters he already has beaten the 2 girls to death.

So this curse they keep talking about is the cause I'm assuming and it just takes control of different people. Either that or the girls just have split personalities, perhaps they're unaware of it or not, not sure. Definitely interesting.
