shanimebib said: I will continue this one and hopefully it will deliver. not amazing for a first episode (like bakuman or star driver) but could be one of the best anime of this season. ^_^ agreed. i think the first episode of bakuman was better but as u said, this could be one of the best anime this season |
 |
| Oh my...this was really bad. I see "generic" written all over it. Generic characters, generic plot devices, generic everything. One of the worst starts this season. |
| A definite fall season win! Can't wait for the next ep! |
 |
| Wow that was fast. O.o I feel like they crammed a story for an entire series into one episode. O.o I hope the pacing slows down a bit. It was pretty good though, I liked it. Characters look nice and well-developed. The story for this episode seemed good, but it just felt a little rushed. They could've made this an arc of like 3-4 episodes. If they slow down this can get really good. ED is gorgeous. |

Can't help but second this. My thoughts exactly. It somewhat reminds me of the Ghost Hunt's first episode, same characters and all. It was weak - that's about it. I hope that it will get only better, because even though this wasn't enough to make me drop the series... if it gets any worse, I'll drop it immediately. |

| I liked it. Like you said, it wasn't an instant win like Bakuman, but I'm looking forward for the next episode. And Yakumo is hot u.u |
| very very good first episode but lets see what will happen with the two red eyed guy |
 |
| As for first Episode, I like it! I'll watch it till the end. 5/5 ^_^ |
   |
| I'm already loving this :) It can continue this way :D |
| Badges here :) |
| I'm ok with this anime; it is not the "OMG BEST ANIME EVER", nor the shittiest one. It's pretty decent and watchable. Will keep watching until the end (hopefully?!). |
| At first I was like ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ. But then I was like ┐(￣ー￣)┌. |
| this is most definitely an interesting anime! |
| One of my favourite genres~ Loving this already! |

This one definitely has some of the most potential, behind Bakuman. |
| It would have been a lot of better if they slow thing down a bit. Not that I am confused or lost but they are just too fast to really feel anything at all. And this show is just so like Bee Train. Oh well I am prepared for the worse. |

 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Decent episode, it was a little too fast paced but I think the plot is interesting and the characters are likeable. I'm gonna keep watching~ |
 |
| Looks okay. Didn't remember the pink hair though. |
| Wow, that felt like a recap episode. Not only it was rushed, it actually looked like half of the scenes were missing. The characters arrived at conclusions very fast and rather randomly, but it was still kinda predictable because we weren't given any other options to consider before getting straight to the point. I'm kind of let down by this. :/ I hoped for a nice, dark and thrilling Fall anime, but this reminds me too much of Ghost Hunt... which I didn't like. |
| im loving this so far its kinda giving me a ghost hunt kind of feel and i love that |

Angel_-_Lily said: I didn't like it..and It wasn't what I expected!! They skipped a lot of things of the manga {>-<} yes they did skip lots of stuff but they created a beautiful atmoshere with AMAZING music and really good animation and voice actors. At last a show that doesn't have pantsu and other stupid fluffy stuff every second of it! I was waiting for it with anxiety and it didn't dissapoint me in the slightest. Actually I dare say the feeling here is better than this in the manga. At least so far.. 5/5 from me. It looks like a hell of a ride! :) |

| I'm kind of excited for this... it looks like it will be pretty good... I love the animation I must say... its quite my taste... and I LOVE Yakumo's single red eye... very sexy... Not sure if I like the pink-haired girl however... |

| This much better than what I expected :) I love the whole atmosphere & the characters are interesting. Definitely following this. Hopefully this will develop into a great story despite having much complaint from other people regarding the pacing & music that i think it's ok but could be do more work though. |

| I swear, Yakumo looked beautiful from every shot. :D |
 |
| My fave genre. Supernatural + Mystery = Awesomeness. |
seishi-sama said: you are funny ^_^Oh my...this was really bad. I see "generic" written all over it. Generic characters, generic plot devices, generic everything. One of the worst starts this season. |
| Great opening. Sucked in right from the beginning. |
| Urgh, this episode was... lifeless. I remember the manga version having more soul ot it. Especially with the little sister. It's like they zoomed past that part to get on with the bad guys or whoever they were (haven't read that much into the manga). I don't even think the bad guys even show up that early in the manga. They also trashed the whole part about her and his eye bit. Maybe they'll toss that into the beginning of episode 2. However it's not so bad. COmpared to the crappy ecchi line up, it's SOMETHING to watch. |
 |
| It seems to me that the only people who didn't like this first episode were readers of the manga... personally, I liked this episode. It served as a good exposition for a 13-ep series. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

You know, I would be funny if only the fact so many people enjoyed this piece of crap wouldn't be so sad. Though, seeing that most of them are apparently teenage girls that drool at the very sight of a bishounen with heterochromia or whatever other crap in one of his eyes, I probably should've known what to expect. |

| good enough for me... and I already knew the culprit is the teacher... Japanese glasses teacher who always neatly dressed always bad... |
| Its awesome. 5/5 Looking forward to the next episode. |

| I love the OP song But the first episode was weak imo I do hope it gets better |
| nice 1st ep :) watching the nxt ep without a doubt |
| Meh. Average. Will continue watching since its marginally better than some of the other crap I've seen so far this season. |
| First time I watched this, Code Geass and Deathnote suddenly popped out in my mind.. I really wanted to see supernatural + psychological mystery genre like this.. Though the 1st ep was kinda generic, I hope that it will get better next eps.. |
| Plain, boring and predictable. That's how the first episode was. I thought it would be really awesome, with creepy supernatural things and the guy being all detective-like. It's boring when you can tell who's the culprit when you've only watched 5 minutes of the episode. Too bad the art was ok. And I am pretty sure that Yakumo would do better without that annoying girl around. =____= Hope it gets better. |
| it was an interesting start :) |
 |
| i was hoping for the art to be like the other manga but oh well. and they are changing it a bit T__T i'm kind of disappointed but will continue watching. |

| I can see this being a favorite of mines this season. Yakumo is such a tsundere but I love it! Gonna be lots of interesting things going on, I can tell. |
| I loved it... x3 Im really looking forward for the next ep Plus Yakumo is hott x33 But im going to have to see more epz to make sure thatz how i really feel about it but yea so far i love it.. lol hope i make sense x...x |

| Wow, this was just plain bad. I don't have any other words for it. It had some serious pacing issues, along with shitty background music. Yakumo looks like a creep and a total ass and look what we have here, a useless female protagonist! Urgh, I hope this gets better. |
 |
| I really enjoyed it, can't wait to see the next episode! |
 |
| This was a pretty interesting start. I'd like to see what Wesker is up to there at the end. The protagonist reminds me way too much of Light Yagami for me to like him. The female lead is cute, though. Also, the music sucked. It took the punch out of several scenes. |
 |
| D: loved it so so so much!! looking forward to this, totally my thing |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| great episode!! looking forward to this, I loved the main female :D |
 |
| this show should be renamed Psychic Detective Light Yagami |
| I thought it was pretty good, but I really don't think the color of Yakumo's eye would scare the teacher (who had a bludgeoning weapon) enough to run away and torch the place. He could have just hit Yakumo again or something. Or at least knocked the bitch out. |
| Good ost. Anyone else immediately think of Gankutsuou when the sister played piano? That song sounded just like the Gankutsuou OP. anyhow, I thought the episode was pretty bad, actually. AHHH OH MY GOD HE HAS A RED EYE RUN AWAY |
