NorikoW said: You say it's slow, while when I watched it and it ended i was like "Eh? So fast?" So mark my words, it doesn't have to be action packed to be interesting, or to be fast to be entertaining.Yup it's freaking slow. But I will hope for something good to happen soon or I might be dropping it. |
| The build up is amazing i haven't felt this trilled about a horror anime since i watched Ghost Hunt. It's just slowly building up and becoming more creepy. I think this might be the best horror anime of the season if it keeps this up. |
| Natsuno is such a prep. Poppin' his collar 24/7. I don't think he was especially mean or rude to Kaori. It was weird that she got all hyped up just seeing him at the funeral. He probably only went cuz his parents did. The postcard Megumi wanted to send him was cute and made me like her a little bit more, even though the entire time they were mourning her death, I was thinking, lol. She's dead. I hope the blond guy in the opening isn't Megumi come back from the dead after a sex change. |
| I have been wondering, about the opening when it shows the two figures about to kiss or kissing, the outline of it looks like Sunako and Yuuki. Are they...suppost to get together? |
helur said: Megumi dying way to fast supports zombie resurrection though the fact that she is buried is a heavy counterargument. Hey, good old school vampires needed to die first, you know :D A victim is bitten, dies from blood loss, is buried and reanimates after dawn / one night / three days and three nights / etc. I don't have my copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula with me, so I can't check how it was done in this classic, but vampires are definitely dead. That's why traditional vampires need coffins. I hope this show incorporates a more traditional view of a vampire, who cannot go out in daylight =w= And seeing a vampire with only one nostril would also be fun. As for the episode, it was great. I was surprised how fast the characters understood there's something going on. I thought they would show more people dying first. Nice. :3 |
| How many more episodes until Megumi returns? =P Either Yuuki's imagining things, or someone else has picked up where Megumi left off. Dude can't catch a break, I guess. And yeah, the old woman was creepy. |
| Kinda slow, but managed not to bore me completely. I'm really liking the opening song now, specifically the second half. And I want to see the little girl from the ending song. Couple of creepy scenes...mainly the old woman's exclamation and the feeling that Natsuno has that someone is still watching his house. I think Kaori is a likeable character, I hope she doesn't die :3 Same goes for the nurse who was speaking to Natsuno and the doctor. Not sure how I feel about the monk...and Natsuno is kind of mean (lol), but I don't mind him being a main character. I would root for him :P |

| Great anime but i cant get the patience to wait for the episodes release. So i've read the manga. Everything's spoiled for me. The anime is loosing part of it's charm that way, but still damn great anime! ;D |

supersayen said: This. Unlike the first episode, this one clearly had a creepy atmosphere, and the events in this episode were much more interesting.This episode was 10000 time better than the first one. Maybe because Megumi was dead and didn't see her annoying face. |
| This far this show has been very much to slow paced for me. I dont want it to go all action like, but this far nothing has really happened. I guess they are building up the story, so i'll stick with it for another EP or 2 and see how it goes. |

| My god, Megumi looks absolutely lovely with such pale skin... |

SirensRequiem said: Works of Buck-Tick are never a failure.The OP for this is SO awesome. Imagine Atsushi Sakurai as a seiyuu ♥ I also find it a bit odd that the old lady clearly said "don't call the doctor" as her neck cracked all creepy like. That scene really scared me.Lilgnomy said: Don't judge vampires by Vampire Knight.Vampires usually in animes looks gay. The incorporation of music in different scenarios was a bit hypnotizing, it made me want to concentrate on the show more. Oh well maybe I am just talking nonsense XD I guess the slow pace of the show makes it more creepier. |
 |
| Major improvement over the first episode. Interesting throughout with a couple of really creepy moments. |
 |
| I enjoyed it quite a bit more than the first episode. You could call the pace slow but I thought it was perfect and loved the episode. The series is keeping things close to the chest and building suspense as things escalate without clear explanations yet. Just makes me that more excited about the upcoming episodes! |
Lilgnomy said: I want zombies, not vampires :D Vampires usually in animes looks gay. even vampire knight? aside from that, slowly paced episode,,, kinda creepy |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
Linalee-Stratos said: The incorporation of music in different scenarios was a bit hypnotizing, it made me want to concentrate on the show more. Oh well maybe I am just talking nonsense XD I agree with this but there was one scene in Yuuki's room where they kept playing beatboxing music and I was like "Uhhhhh, what the hell are they playing right now?" |
 |
| Sorry Megumi, but no one likes you. It's the truth. garfield15 said: I agree with this but there was one scene in Yuuki's room where they kept playing beatboxing music and I was like "Uhhhhh, what the hell are they playing right now?" Yeah, that part lost me. And then it suddenly stops and I'm like "...wtf was that?" I really want the soundtrack now. It has some nice creepy tunes. Slow start is slow, but I'm hoping this series comes in with a surprise. I'm just waiting for it to happen....later on that is. |
| I'm thoroughly enjoying the show so far. It gives off a Higurashi creepy-ness feel to it. And at the end, I just kept thinking "don't open the window, don't open the window." |
Onegai said: I think you have the wrong impression. It won't go "all action like", this just isn't that type of anime. If you are waiting for action you can just not bother to stick with it for another "EP or 2".This far this show has been very much to slow paced for me. I dont want it to go all action like, but this far nothing has really happened. I guess they are building up the story, so i'll stick with it for another EP or 2 and see how it goes. |
| Died of anemia huh? I really hope the tl;dr of this show isn't "Kyūketsuki existu! Uu~" |
Beks said: And at the end, I just kept thinking "don't open the window, don't open the window." SAME!!!! I was like ahhhh.... and the creepy old lady cracking her neck... WTF! Pretty slow episode... i actually liked the first episode more, but I like how the suspense is building. |
  |
Beks said: And at the end, I just kept thinking "don't open the window, don't open the window." I thought he would for a second. I prolly would have yelled if he had. XD |
| This is a very slow anime just so everyone knows. If youve read the manga you will know that this starts off at a snails pace and starts to pick up as the story goes on. If you are thinking of giving this one up, just have some patience, the story is very interesting and very well told. As for the episode, because i know the story i cant say anything but it is doing a very good job following the manga, but it is diverging at some points which is making it interesting. The story is slowly picking up, and with each new episode i cant wait for the next one in a week. |
 |
| This is pretty slow paced, but I'm alright with that. It gives it a more mysterious feel. Natsuno is such a little brat. Regardless if you didn't much care for the girl or not, it's pretty rude to leave in the middle of someone's funeral. /: I miss Megumi, but she's listed as a main character so Hopefully she'll return next episode (I didn't see a preview so I have no clue what to expect, haha). |
| Hmms, with the second ep, I'm sort of getting used to the pace this is going at. I might read the manga soon. LOL Well, without the manga my guess is these people turn into vampires? ------- Just found where I'm at. Anyways; this is what you missed: |

| I'm fine with a slower pace for the beginning of a horror (as long as things pick up), but I don't know if I can get past the ridiculous character designs. The hair! That's a horrorshow all on its own. |
| As many people mention it the episode was so slow and melancholic and the interesting and scary moments was in the middle of slow actions . Hope it will get really interesting and can't wait to the next week ... Maybe i will catch the manga no matter I like animes most . Natsuno looks so suspicious in this story ... hope if he is not connected to have some kind 'of justice ' to his patetic to Megumi's dead . In the first episode Megumi's life and sense was only of his existence . |
| The show does have a slow pace, but I don't think it is bothersome..After all we 're still in the 2nd episode..it's pretty impossible to have all the explanations so far...So, we should be a bit more patient..After all, the whole chain of deaths and the mysterious impregnable castle really build up the mystique of the village.I storngly believe that this anime will have a great development.. |
 |
| I'd say : "time to call House MD" :p |

| i liked this EP even better then the first.realy enjoy teh slowe pace..reminds me on some asian horror flicks ive seen. that some crazy shit.. i got scared a little when that old woman turned her head and said" dont call the doctor". for me the show is in the top 3 summer animes already n i hope it keeps goin on like this. there are not many good real horror shows(not gore crap) with great atmosphere that can send a shiver down ur spine! cant wait for ep3..lovin the show already |

| This episode creep me out especially the scene where the old womens neck suddenly turned >__< and if I was Natsuno,I'd rather not open the window at night. So this Anime is all about people getting infected by some sort of disease and turns into something later just like resident evil? I'll keep watching this since it's really good . |
 Love is filled with mystery |
| I actually like how it's slow! It fits the atmosphere, it's called building up tension. >.> The doctor is cool and Natsuno continues to be a cool but heartless jerk. I still like him for some reason though. I got to say that some hairstyles are beginning to annoy me (Kaori wtf? O_o) but I'll bear with it. I really like this atmosphere! ^^ |

Bunny-kins said: Sorry Megumi, but no one likes you. It's the truth. ^ this I simply loved how they showed the weirdness of the victims , especially the cracking sound of the old lady's neck xD , also the sounds they used to describe Natsuno's feeling of getting stalked were so damn creepy <3 ~ Can't wait to see ep 3 >_< !!! |
| I wonder what's happening to the village. It's so freaky the way the old lady turned her head. >.< |
darkerealm said: It's so freaky the way the old lady turned her head. >.< lol..i think thats something most of us find to be very disturbing ^.< |
| This anime made me lol at some parts. 'spcially the part where the purple hair dude was sitting in his room and all of a sudden some weird samba soundtrack starts playing. God, that was so random. Guess it was another okay episode. Kept me entertained, but they should step up the pace a little. 4/5 |
 |
| Much better than the first episode. I'm beginning to really love the slow pace. And the art style is just gorgeous. One of my favourite opening sequences this season too. |
| 頭脳は子供、見た目は大人！ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ |
| This continous very "good". Well made, awesome atmosphere and I wonder in which way the dead will come back, if they will. Myabe they wont (but Megumi is a Main-Character. Main-Characters don't die in the first Episode.). |
Mamuru said: and make him work with Bones XDI'd say : "time to call House MD" :p |
|
| Much better than the first episode. The pace felt perfect to me; neither too fast nor too slow and I was left wanting more at the end of the episode. It's not really creepy (yet), but I like the atmosphere nonetheless. I just hope the revelations won't turn out lame - for some reason I expect them to... My favourite show this season so far, anyway. |
 |
| What confuses me is? An aneamic girl grows weak and dies during a hot summer, is that really a huge conspiracy? I speak as somebody who is aneamic and has fainted a number of times in the summer. Yet I must remember however, this is a tiny village.;) Still, the other deaths seem shiftier? Back to the point, I like the idea of; (possible) vampire through virus, as zombie is the cliche now-a-days. Pheefa said: Much better than the first episode.

I can't wait to see what is going to happen next. These two comments are perfect.;) This anime reminds me of Natsume Yuujinchou; not story-wise, yet simply because... - Both are very mellow - The art style is pretty and eerie (dewey, autunm mist/haze is my description) - They move at a slow/steady pace, yet still mangaes to get the story across to the viewer |

| better than the first one but seriously wtf is up with their eyes? so weird and that ugly creepy dog. |
