Can't say I'm digging the overuse of supposed creepy music. Rather than amplifying the mood it sort of ruins it for me, making it come off as malplaced. I do however find the eyepatch-girl interesting and nice cliffhanger, yes.

Studio M could stand for Misaki, so grand-daughter or something?

Anyway, a cliffhanger!

Yeah I agree a little bit there. That and the "don't tell the new kid" treatment by the other students is rather annoying. Seriously, tell him what's going on, damn it. The whole buildup of suspense thing is getting a bit out of hand.

And of course the episode had to end right there. The main character being a bit of a stalker just adds to the creepiness.

That episode was much better than the last one, it had a much more chilling and creepy atmosphere to it. I did jump though when Sakakibara's phone vibrated. Plus, that's a REALLY irritating cliffhanger.

I think we need to know more about the lead character's personality or at least his thoughts. Until now he seems kinda sad, and pretty ignorant towards the fact that his classmates are hiding something important from him.
He's really drawn towards Misaki, like a magnet to an iron-ball. At this time he might be aware that she is a ghost, the information from hospital proves it. Even with Misaki's warnings he still seeks her out, because he feel a need to get to know her secrets.
He even goes as far to enter a creepy doll shop and proceed down to the the cellar basement. Very bold thing to do pal.

I've read a little bit of the manga and know who the first victims are going to be, so it's interesting how the anime is trying to foreshadow the coming tragedies.

This episode overdid the use of eerie music a bit. It's like we are supposed to be scared and uneasy all the time, it's just too much.

Nice episode. I kinda like this feeling the show gives me. And that doll shop gave me the creeps. I really want to see the next ep. Like, NOW.

Also, Misaki IS cute :)
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

Another awesome episode,even better that last one.

The atmosphere is getting better and better and me being a huge fan of terror/Thriller i am loving it so much!!

I am liking a lot the characters specially Mei her creepyness is awesome,also that nurse its kinda cute.

Kouichi its kinda an idiot by not noticing that they are hiding something for him,or maybe he is letting it go since he is so attracted to horror stories,and that's why he is so attracted to Mei as i would if i find out something i am seeing can be a ghost.....

The Doll house was creepy as hell....love it! still i probably wont go down to the basement.

^These two comments pretty much sum-up the episode for me~

Wordsmith said:

^I'll agree with this, too, though. The thriller guy in me is really starting to dig this girl, and I adore her voice for some reason that I can't quite place; it turns out the seiyuu voicing her, Natsumi Takamori, is apparently a newbie from what I gather, so that's pretty cool~

heterochromia?
is she just embarassed being a heterochromia?
or there's something else with that blue eye?
i think there must be something with the blue eye...


It might have something to do with the heterochromia, there are different forms of it the one we usually see in Anime is a very rare form about 1 in 250.000 that is inheritable but harmless. Then you've got other forms which can be harmfull it's possible to basically become blind on one eye because of heterchromia. So maybe she has to wear the eyepatch because of some kind of medical reason (even though she might already be death.).

Interesting, it's a bit slow but I don't mind. Shows like that are partly meant to draw you in with anticipation and creepy atmospheres. Can't wait to see how he reacts to what's under the eye patch.

Ugh why why why does there have to be a cliffhanger? D: Oh well makes it that more exciting, but I really want to know what's under the eye patch now. The dolls are creepy, especially when they appear at each scene change, but i'll get used to it. The music is terrifying and it makes the anime more darker, it gives me chills and I love it.

I want next episode!

They seem to be heavily hinting on twins, and I'm not sure I like that direction. The school situation is moving way too slowly, but I'll see where this goes. Still, not a bad episode.

Misaki said those doll hugging each other are calm and relief.

Doesn't look like it for me lol .They look like suffering and envy the life of human being,their expression is sucking my life right now >.<"

Those student did give warning to Sakakibara.... I kinda felt sorry for Sakakibara's classmate, it is hard for them to tell him the truth as well.They can't blame Sakakibara as well.

...The novel front cover(the ONLY illustrate) can be also a spoiler now for this episode.

If you read the manga, you will understand how this doesn't even compare.

No it really isn't creepy watching random dolls flash across the screen, it's not predictable or anything, it's just stupid and uninteresting.

And the music they play, in my opinion sets the mood for a horror blood-filled type of anime, this is more mysterious than horror.

Totally disagree, this was creepy. I had to turn the volume down a few times because of the creepy atmosphere + music, I was scared something would pop out or something.

Also, this show and its fucking cliffhangers. The time goes by fast when I watch this, it's just so interesting.
