| 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. |
| Really good episode and creepy of course!!! I love it :) Nice cliffhanger, I can't wait for the next episode... |

Are you kidding me? dont ever compare this to Blood-C, please. And are you sayin these dolls are not creepy? the atmoshpere is not creepy? 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. |
| Whoa. Whoa, whoa whoa whoa.... I'm liking this, this could get really good. Am I the only one that finds Mei kinda cute, regardless of the fact she's dead...? |
 |
| I almost pee my pants :s |
 |
| Seriously... why can't his classmates just tell him the taboos if they are that scared of the curse!!?? and... I quite like the dolls... not as creepy as I've expected and I would say they are quite beautiful~ |
| First I was like >_< Then I was like 8| Dat face right before taking off her eyepatch! |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| whats under the eyepatch????? D: |

Nimed said: I almost pee my pants :s okthxbaii said: This is not creepy whatsoever tbh. LOL - it's all based on what one is used to. I like the show, I'm VERY curious about Mei, and I like some of the atmosphere, but it's not high on my "creepy" scale - at the part where Sakakibara thinks the doll might be talking to him I was simply thinking "Mei is a doll? Curious. That might explain all the random doll flashes." However, I'm sure that scene would freak out a couple of friends of mine who don't have my same interest in "oddities". |
|
| Interesting atmospheric episode once again but development is so scarce that it's difficult to even make a comment about it. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
Lulexiaa said: AHHHHHH!!! I WANNA KNOW WHATS UNDER THE EYEPATCH!!!! DDD; ^this I kinda knew Mei was going to be in the store, but when I heard her voice I jumped a little >_< |
| Cliffhanger... |
| She has.... a geass!!!!! |
| I'm really intersted in why people are so vary of Sakakibara and try to act nicely concealing anything Misaki related while talking with him. I wasn't particulary interested in Misaki's eyepatch, i didn't even think it had any bigger role than just an eyepatch covering a lost eye due to accident from when she was alive. But how they made their way to let us see it as something more was great, this great bgm, creppy dolls in shop with creepy old shopkeeper, brilliant i call it. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| watching this in the dark with gaming headphones on all the way up made all the music and sounds ten times worst mainly at the part were mei was about to take her eyepatch off! lol,still i think the episode was good i have a feeling it's still gonna be building up phase for the nest few episodes. 1+ for making me feel uneasy the whole time 1+ for reminding me of my fear of dolls |

itsvero said: She has.... a geass!!!!! no, it's sharingan |
| WHAT A COCKTEASE AT THE END!!!!!! Can't wait until next week. 5/5 |
| Well...He's quite determined to follow her around. |

| Some character analysis: First and foremost, Sakakibara-kun keeps on badgering Mei with questions because he's a HORROR FANATIC. He is drawn to the mysteriousness of Mei, so I think that is why he just couldn't resist his curiosity. WHY THE CLASSMATES CAN'T TELL SAKAKIBARA-KUN ANYTHING? Because there MUST be something wrong with telling him. In this episode, Misaki said, What Teshi-kun said MUST be the reason why they couldn't tell him anything. Anyway, as to the direction, I feel so-so about it. I'm just happy there's an anime for this. But the reason why it's so eerie unlike other anime is that IT DOESN'T SHOW US INNER MONOLOGUES so far. If there are some that I'd missed, they're very few. That's why I feel it's sort of silent, and they fill in the silence with misplaced music. The 2 episodes have insofar never revealed inner thoughts of the characters, so I believe it wants us to think of it SO OBJECTIVELY. For now, to those who just watched the anime, the only things to rely on for character analysis are facial expressions, mannerisms, and dialogues. Furthermore, I don't get why some kept on saying this is like Blood-C all over again. I know the director is the same, and I can say the direction isn't to my taste either. But, it doesn't mean the story is. The author of the story is a very good mystery author, and I believe the storyboard is great. If the novel's contents remain in the anime, I would look past the direction AND SEE FOR MYSELF WHAT THE STORY REALLY IS. This anime is slow-paced. It doesn't rush things like in GUILTY CROWN to the point of desperation. |

| Graaaah! Can I endure a week without spoiling myself... |
| . |
| Great atmospheric music to keep my attention. I love the suspense, however it is moving a bit too slow I think. I hope after episode 3 where it seems some secrets will be reviled the pace will pick up a tad. |
 |
| Worst P.A. Works anime to date. Fails to interest, fails as horror. Even spoilers don't make it interesting. Opening is godawful earcancer. |

Welp Another has here already 5 reviews, four of them rates this anime "9", so I hope you agree that theese reviews are worth shit. those people are idiots too, you can judge a show till its done, i guess if its an ongoing show and past maybe the halfway point or something its more excusable but still notIf series doesn't do anything interesting means it's bad. |

| Surely, you can judge/rate a show before it's finished. I would agree though that 2/11 episodes is premature. |

Might only be on Vol 4 all really gets revealed. That means around episode 8 all might just be in your face for info. Who knows. So far all is good with me.Kurimu-chan said: Creeeeeeeeeeepyyyyyyy and awesome :D Loved the second episode too. Also, MAL... Seriously D: Possible spoiler? Can't wait till next week :D 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... |

| ahhhhhhhhh~ i love this anime ,its so "awsomely creepy" |
 |
| What you'll find under the eye patch is... another eye patch! xD |
| God I hate waiting. I really want to know what was under that eyepatch. This pretty much tells you I'm hooked into this. I'm really liking this show so far, could be one of the best this season. |
  |
| Damn cliffhangers! |
  |
| Creepy dolls. I wonder what is under her eyepatch. D: |
| Nice and creepy episode :D Sus twin tail girl is sus. :D 5/5 And dammit cliffhangers. |

Works anime to date. Fails to interest, fails as horror. Even spoilers don't make it interesting. Opening is godawful earcancer. Someone doesn't know what they are talking about. For starters, Blood-C was NOT a SEQUEL whatsoever, it was a COMPLETE separate story. Another is not original either, it was made off the manga and novel adaptions. Plus, Mei is just like Rei from NGE, one letter word difference in their names, gee I wonder. Also Mei looks like Ohana without curly hair and an eyepatch, yeah, VERY original. As far as judging it, have been reading the manga and it doesn't even compare, so I think I have every RIGHT to judge it. |
|
| inb4 she has geass and the Blood-C comparison was hilarious. Stay classy MAL. |
| The constant random flashes of those dolls are getting really annoying, other than that this anime has left me intrigued. |
