| Too slow to really mean anything. And not even a single thing was explained in this episode. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| And now it's time for everyone's favorite new game show: "Who Won't Get Raped Today?" I'll be your host, Spookt. We have a fine selection for you, so let's get right to it! Contestant One is a megane douche with the personality of a soggy cardboard box and the emotional age of a boy half his age. Two characters already have the hots for him and those two are brother and sister (I smell threeee-waaay). Please welcome "Little Red"! Contestant Two is a nameless schoolboy who exists only to create a false sense of dramatic tension and a continuity with the killings we keep seeing. He's that mysterious plot device that says "hey! don't these sequences intrigue you enough to hang on for just-one-more-episode?" Please welcome "That Dude"! Contestant Three is a sweet little thing. Plump and juicy and just waiting to be split open and sucked dry. Please welcome "Hassaku"! And the victims are... Looks like our winner goes on to play another day. Will anything of any consequence occur soon? Tune in next week and find out! |

| If you see it, you'll shit bricks. ..wait, wat? (ﾟ⊿ﾟ) Hmm.. I just hope nothing bad'll happen to Kana-chan, that would be disastrous （・３・ア Oh and I kinda like Nemuru more and more as well, dunno why, if I remember correctly, I tried denying that previously or so ( ﾟ,_ゝﾟ) But Issei, seriously, go die or something (¬_¬) And really, he's got quite a bitchy sister, doesn't he? ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ So then, as has been stated by many already, during these episodes, the people of the old town, are strange. ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／ Mana Mana, sounds kinda cool ʘ‿ʘ And Kaori is sooooo suspicious ヽ(´Д｀ヽ) Woah, and the same goes to say about Isuzu and Issei's mother ಠ_ಠ "Issei-sempai, I like you." "Too bad, but I'm gay and I like young boys, so get lost." ┐(-｡ｰ')┌ Oh.. This was.. So, how come this guy knows Kaori, and how does that work? No, please don't answer that, I'm talking to myself （´・ω・｀） So, if you fall in love, and you're a local, you're screwed （￣ー￣） Anyway, the most stupid thing is that Hiroshi ran away after seeing the girl get killed. I mean.. Technically, the wolves should've followed him when they see him running ┐(-｡ｰ')┌ Though knowing that this is an anime, and that Hiroshi is in fact the main character (However unlikely it may seem).. They just had to let him slip by unnoticed. He even tried his best to be seen by being so un-stealthy ┐('～`；)┌ |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |

| im glad i decided to keep watching this is show its starting to get interesting now. But on another note im even more curious now of what the rules are and why they are in place, this show produces more questions then answers, but still great episode. |

Then again, the traveler guy believed him so my whole argument is invalid >.< |

| this is what I think: The town/city are half wolf / human and since they made the city bigger, and new people started living in the town / city the elders of the half wolf / human decided that they are only to be in love and have children with their own kind... so if they find ya with a normal human they will kill you. I hope this is not the story tho because it would suck... I probably know the ending too =/ |

seizonsha said: It's more or less an amalgamation of several VN arcs into a new anime original one. This is no problem, because the different arcs were mostly about showing what happened at different places at the same time, even though of course Hiroshi's different actions made them slightly different. Ah, interesting. I was wondering if Ookami would follow a similar storytelling pattern as Higurashi and Umineko did. So without getting into spoilers, how did you like the original VN? Did you think it reached the Higurashi/Umineko level? |
| looks like those kind of ppl cant fall in love ... if they do they will be murdered i guess o-o |
     |
| so the brother guy starts freaking out again; and for some reason those red eye guys are after people in love, wonder why? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Probably the best episode so far. Still uncertain on what exactly is going on aside from the growing expectation that Issei won't be sticking around for much longer. |
 |
| Hmm...the plot is getting more interesting... _Summer said: in this episode the workd 'ookami' was translated as wolf, thus the name of the anime would be better translated as 'hidden wolf'. Overall, I like the action that they showed because it invites me to watch the following episode. Actually, according to one site, the English translation could be "Wolfed Away". since 'ookami' (or also 'okami') means "wolf", and the word 'kakushi' got it from the word 'kamikakushi', which means "spirited away". Combine it together and remove 'kami', now it's Ookami Kakushi. But hey, I just got it from some site. |
RandomPerson4 said: YES! FUCK YOU LIGHT YAGAMI! FUCK YOU!!!!!!! |
in this episode the workd 'ookami' was translated as wolf, thus the name of the anime would be better translated as 'hidden wolf'. oh, really...? since Onikakushi means "Spirited away by demons" or "abducted by demons" wouldnt Ookamikakushi mean "Spirited away by wolves" or "abducted by wolves"...? yeah i guess thats it... |
| ^^Nah, pretty much every site has it as "Wolfed Away" now. |

Neilikki said: Woah, O_o that is scary to think about....being taken away by a wolf just because you love them...why not think of it was those being wolves want not to be like that anymore and be in love normally like their human partner...why not? in this episode the workd 'ookami' was translated as wolf, thus the name of the anime would be better translated as 'hidden wolf'. oh, really...? since Onikakushi means "Spirited away by demons" or "abducted by demons" wouldnt Ookamikakushi mean "Spirited away by wolves" or "abducted by wolves"...? yeah i guess thats it...

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Since the 1st episode it really gives me the creeps whenever night is about the set in. Well atlast it explains what is going on but not totally |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| I can't bring myself to like this. It's weak from animation to plot to voice acting. Blargh. |
rabbitpoets said: Ah, interesting. I was wondering if Ookami would follow a similar storytelling pattern as Higurashi and Umineko did. So without getting into spoilers, how did you like the original VN? Did you think it reached the Higurashi/Umineko level? Well considering that Higurashi and Umineko themselves have pretty different standards, not even by levels but just because I find them difficult to compare, it's hard to say. I would say Ôkami lies a step beneath those, not because of bad writing, but just because it's not as intricate as the other two were when he thought them up. At times I have a feeling he recycled some ideas he had while writing other projects, but that would be no surprise considering that Ôkami was released only 5 days after End of the Golden Witch. So it's safe to say that he didn't put his complete effort into Ôkami. What I DO have to say is, that I found Ôkami as a VN much easier to read than Higurashi, because you could see that he learned to weave lighthearted everyday life and gloomy atmosphere closer together. It didn't have those hard cuts anymore between light and dark, which led me to skip almost every club-game scene when I read Higurashi. |

Kleeyook said: Exactly a similar shock....the clean up crew must either be magically good or efficient to do that. For God's sake! All the blood and body is gone, but left that hairpin! :( seizonsha said: Really? Well sometimes simplification = more enjoyable and it looks like it was in your case for some elements. Personally complications only sometimes result in frustration because of lack of understanding untill all is explained and it's "aha" or "so that's it" kind of reactions. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| No more Hassaku commercial TT~TT does anybody has a gif about that wolf xD? or a video, I don´t know just looks so funny This is getting better |
| You know what's bothering me? Ookami isn't very graphic. I mean, when people got murdered in Higurashi and Umineko, it was really really graphic. But Ookami's like, ''Hey we'll show you a moving scythe and some blood, then a first person shot through the victim's eyes, WITH MOAR BLOOOOD!''. Sigh, I wish it'd be more graphic. Then this anime wouldn't be so cute anymore. :D |
 |
| Wonder what on earth happened at the end there. |

| The gayness in this ep for some reason made me happy instead of hating it.... So happy to see the happyku and so happy to see some bitch getting axed... The music is happy, and I'm sure that bitch is happy too.... Happiness is happy....<333 |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| I hate this show so much that I'm beginning to feel sympathetic towards Umineko. |
| WHY DON'T THEY HAVE NOSES??? |
| As the series progresses I understand less and less about it :/ |
 |
| Quite a good mystery/surnatural episode there. The atmosphere is darkening and the plot is slowly unveiling for the better. Probably the most interesting episode of the series so far. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| so....hes the boy who cried wolf eh? a bit poetic isn't it? i guess they will leave the explaining till later. clearly they don't have a "more humane" way of dealing with.....troublemakers. |
| I'm starting to think Nemuru, based on what she said, "To enforce the rules," exists solely to keep the worlds of gods, spirits, and humans separate in a town where they are starting to mesh together. Perhaps the wolves (spirits) really do want to become humans and this is breaking the boundaries. Perhaps when they fall in love with a human, they unknowingly devour the human soul. This could possibly explain why people who knows about this move to the other side of town, to avoid "dying" in a sense. Looking at the OP, assuming it's translated correctly, I think the lyrics pretty much illustrates the difference between one side of town and the other, and how these wolves (spirits) cannot love humans. "I'm sure I met you on the other side of time. I'll go with you to our far away hometown. Love cannot be seen as we travel under the illusive night sky." All that said, this was a rather exciting episode. I'm interested in the newly introduced Kaori and how she'll play into the whole thing, although I'm under the assumption that she is the dead or missing (whichever) Mieko. |

| Bleh. |
 |
| Just like higurashi, episode 4 was epic as. I found it really exciting and didnt want this episode to end, im really looking forward to more ookami kakushi now >_< and i absolutely love the theme that plays when the girl with the scythe comes out to reap people =] |
 |
| finally, some higurashi vibe really surfacing. but, for ryukishi-sensei's protagonist, compared to Keiichi or Battler, this Hiro looked very wimpy |

| OK, I'm starting to hate this show. |
| -Fixing- |
| I've been wondering, for quite sometime, why on earth I'm still watching this. The episodes barely manage to keep my attention, this one included. Maybe it's the adorable Mana-chan, or Yuu Kobayashi's voice? In this case, probably Mana, so I shall somehow put up with this series to the end, if only to see Mana-chan. |

| The pace is so slow. This anime feels like a 50 episode anime series |
 |
| Eh it was all right. A little bit more interesting I suppose. If Nemuru turns out not to be the head of the group killing people I will say ho ho ho~ Ryukishi you troll |
