| OMG! My eyes! The art is gorgeous! Loved it and i must say i LOVE characters with black hair and red eyes. Totally eerie. I hope the characters won't be too cliched. Once again great atmosphere when Sakikabara and Misaki are on the rooftop of the school I give it 4.6/5 I'm really impressed by the 1st episode. Everyone are suspicious and scary. The male teacher the most. |
| Cool episode, bro. It felt really like a movie because of it's animation. Guess i except much from this one. Haven't seen Horror in a long time. :O |
     |
| I was looking forward to this anime, this first episode was quite good. loved the art as well. looking forward to the next episode. the OP could have been better. didn't watch the ED. will have to do that later. 4/5 |

| So here's my thoughts after watching the first episode. I haven't read the manga (is this a manga adptation???) so please don't confirm if I'm wrong or right xD I believe that the whole Class 3 is already dead. And so is the main character. I believe he died at the beginning when his lung collapsed and the whole thing is a big troll XD But I'm probably wrong...oh well. I like how they gave each classmate some kind of personality and different look! And strangely the thing that bothers me the most, they don't show the grandparents faces!! Either there's something really wrong with them or like I said, the main character is deceased and they're still pretending that he's alive, like they did with Misaki! |
tsubasalover said: It's thought that it brings bad luck so it's similar to the number 13 in Western culture the difference being that 13 isn't written as death.Appel_stroop said: ryanagamis said: Aah didn't know that but does that mean they never use the number 4 in things like these or is this just an exception?Appel_stroop said: lol just notices that at about 8.30 minutes there's a scene with the elevator showing the floor and it goes; 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. because number 4 is a number of misfortune, it shares the same word with dead(shi). In the hospitals, yes (never using "4"). About the Anime. It seems interesting and i wonder if it can bring be the same type of thrill Ghost Hunt did since it's been awhile since i had that feeling. From what we saw this episode there a few interesting things. First of all the strange class and the general atmosphere there, people where nice to the main character but they also seemed to have a form of distrust not just to the main character but also to some of the other students. Then there was the greeting in the hospital which is just strange he hasn't even been to class and there already greeting him in hospital. The handshake was also a bit odd from what i understand it's unusual in Japanese culture and the reaction of the other students in that room was just strange. The homeroom teacher didn't seem to care much and gave a depressed impression like he didn't want to be there at all. Also the fact that they where trying to change the subject when the main character ask't where the girl was that greeted him in the hospital suggests that they are hiding something. Not to mention that the class doesn't seem to interact with any of the other classes in the school they look completely isolated. And the greatest question of all is that girl Misaki who seems to be one big mystery. She gave the impression that being send to that class is like a death sentence. The condition of the school wasn't really good either the seats on the courtyard and the courtyard seemed poorly maintained and the metal on the roof was rusting allot. It seems like they haven't been maintaining the building at all which seemed strange since that school should have a large number of students just judging from the students in that one class. |
| Holy crap that was amazing! The visuals are stunning, the lighting effects add in to its horror factor while the stills make it creepier, and the soundtracks, my god, they just amplify the mood a hundred times more. Now it's up to the story to make it or break it. If there's something that I didn't like though then it would be the OP by Ali Project. I mean anything done by Ali Project sounds the same it's getting old. Aside from that, with proper pacing and storytelling, we have a sure winner here. I've waited so long for this and it's well worth the wait. |

| Damn it, Ali Project. |
| I like the character design, main guy's design reminds me of the guy from Higurashi. The settings is good too. Mainly because it's a small town and in the year 1998 with not too much influence from modern technology. The classmates and teachers look hollow and miserable at some points, but when spoken to they are lively enough. They're clearly hiding something, and I'm looking forward to find out more. |
| I'm currently reading the novel and the manga right now. The anime so far is different in opening than both (when he meets Mei), but I'm really loving the character designs, music, and pretty much everything. <3 |
 |
| Episode one is not scary, as I expected. I don't think the whole class is dead, but I really wonder why so many people are sick or hurt. I think at least one student would get hurt everyday that's why the ponytail girl was absent. Well... I think. And the animation and the background art is soo beautiful! As expected from P.A. works |
| creepy first ep D: did anyone else think the opening sounded similar to one of code geass r2's opening |
| please make my breakfast every morning for me sweet cheeks! *bowling position" |
truesoul said: did anyone else think the opening sounded similar to one of code geass r2's opening All Ali Project songs sound identical to me. :/ I'm not a fan of their style. This show sounded so promising, and so far it's living up to my expectations. I can't wait to see how this turns out. |
| This episode was slow, but interesting. Good introduction to the story. I will see next episode |
| Ahh, it's been so long since I've had a good horror anime. I hope this one is good all the way through. The only thing I don't like is the Ali Project song, because I see they still haven't managed to compose anything different. |
| I really can't form any opinion about this yet. It gave me too much "Higurashi" and "Shiki" vibes... Hope the next one would be better and less similar to those series. |

I was thinking about that and then misaki appeared right behind Kouichi and I was like O.o Gosh >.<! xD I'm a scaredy cat so I'll never watch this during night >.> even though it certainly has more Mystery than horror and I liked that. 5/5 looking forward the next chapter! |
 |
| it's frickin' creepy, I love it |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| Interesting first episode, 4/5, why does every interesting thing air on mondays fuuu |
Appel_stroop said: lol just notices that at about 8.30 minutes there's a scene with the elevator showing the floor and it goes; 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. yeh i noticed this as well. i hope this series isn't a boring mystery, but one that keeps the attention, since it is only a 13ep series i don't think there is much possibility for that+ it isn't looking like that at the moment. i have high hopes for this series and i am looking forward to next week! |
| wow... its okay... and that ending was beautiful! |
Appel_stroop said: lol just notices that at about 8.30 minutes there's a scene with the elevator showing the floor and it goes; 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. I know 4 is a bad superstitious number in Asian countries. It's known as the "death" number. So, they don't like to mark the fourth floor in buildings and skip to 5 instead. It's similar in US and parts of Europe as well; their buildings don't have a 13th floor. ------------ I like how this show is starting. Even though nothing happened yet, the vibe is already ripe with a dark creepy undertone. They did a good job making everything feel "not quite right" as Kouichi is trying to figure things out. The animation is amazing. The BGM is also very good. The voices are good as well. The only thing that was out of place was the OP and ED; the OP seemed wonky and silly; the ED was a bit cheery looking and sappy. Other than that everything seems top notch. definitely a show worth watching. |
| Wow I loved it! The OP was alright but it wasn't bad. The animation is really amazing and the story seems interesting. Can't wait for more episodes. |
| wow that was actually kind of scary |

| Ep was quite boring and disappointing, too many pseudo-horror-elements, which don't really let me take this serious. OP-song was crap, all these 'ali project'-songs sound the same... Still, at least, the ep was a bit interesting. Gonna watch at least the next ep. |
| Wow, impressive visuals. It also seems rather dark, which is a nice contrast to the rest of the anime this season. Also, I noticed during the elevator scene that they skipped the number 4. It's pretty interesting because in the Chinese language, the number 4 sounds like "death". Hence, there are some places that don't have a fourth floor.

| It was all right kinda boring to me tbh. Though it's interesting and I am a sucker for scary shit so I will probably stick to this unless they do something really really really stupid. Also that bird was rather creepy. e_e |
   |
| Wow the sounds in this anime gives me chills |
 |
| An interesting start. Sounds and BGM feel a bit like horror films from the 80s. |
| Okay, I abso-freaking-lutely loved this. I have a feeling it's going to be my favorite anime of the season already. XD |
| Good start so far. I'll definitely keep an eye out of this. |
| #PrayForKyoAni |
| Going to love this! |
 |
| Really good first episode, aside from the generic character design and some jarring camera pans. Sound effects are really top notch. I don't care much about Ali Project, I find the ED to be more out of place than the OP. |
| Wow, I really enjoyed watching this, art was so beautiful. And lovely creepy atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like was op song. |
| <img src="http://hinata.taigaforum.com/?sigid=82610" /> |
| > They changed some stuff from the manga It's a novel adaptation so big chance that in manga some parts were changed |
 |
| Good first episode,the atmosphere is awesome and me being a Mystery/horror fan i already can tell i will love this. |
| These Mystery Genres are getting better every time. I really liked the OP because its sung by one of my favorite people and the ED was great. I can't wait to know more about what's happening |
 |
| Woah, what can I say? The first episode was pretty creepy and the atmosphere just blew me away, I'm liking it so far. The opening was alright, sounded like Code Geass and the ending was calm, a nice way to end an episode. I love the concept and I am curious to how the plot will roll. I also like all the characters so far, Mei looks interesting and I'd love to know more, and even the classmates too. I'm one of the many people that love thriller or horror animes so I will be sticking around to see the action! :D |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| Very interesting start there. It being a horror show, can't exactly expect it to ramp up the pace any faster. First episode sets up a very nice mysterious atmosphere with class 3 and the death of Misaki. |
 |
| As expected of PA works! i was waiting for this i have a good feeling this is gonna be a slow build up and shit will hit the fan within the last few episodes,and i like the way some people are thinking that maybe Class 3 is already dead but i think if it isn't that it's gonna be based around the deaths of them because after the creepy part when he entered class it was showing what seemed like every student in class 3 but i dunno lol i don't trust anyone in this show right now after watching Higurashi and i'm curious to see where they go with this. |
 |
| So far, so good. |
