| You know, I'm up to date on the manga and the anime... and I've thought before "Teiichi could so score with Yuuko-san, but I never really wondered "What's it like to have sex with a ghost?" hahaha. It's got to be an out-of-this-world experience~ Kirishima Yuuko seemed to have more intense emotions in the manga than this episode, and her Akahito-san was much more obscure than I was hoping for. I was hoping they'd give Kirishima those intense emotions, I wanted to watch her wallow in despair. :'( |
 |
| For some unknown reasons I like this series :) and with each episode I find new things to enjoy in it - this is kind of surprise I appreciate (another in this season is Girlfriend X) this ep was creepy with all of art directing... or maybe it's that this school is not for normal people as it seems that those who see Yuuko are most sane, and of course she is too and that romance or rather chemistry between characters - I like it, so now Teiichi needs to die so they can be together |
| And that's why I like Silver Link. Oonuma Shin did a great job with this episode. |
| New character hates ghost stories Less fan service and more horror Great art directing in the taunting scenes |
| Kind of a different atmosphere this episode but it was still good. |
| This was a solid episode even if it did go a little over the top with the cult like atmosphere of the students. It's like the students instantly took the rumors blond Yuuko start as hard fact. I mean even if they did believe though it's a little hard to believe that they would all become so instantly creepy and psychotic together. Although I guess it did help to hammer home the theme of the episode so I won't complain too much about it because it was still an enjoyable episode. I really like this show when it tones down on the fanservice and instead tries to tell a more horror driven story. Episodes like this are my favorite kind of horror story because the scares are derived from the people's irrational reactions rather than the supernatural. It makes you question is there really anything scarier than humans and their imaginations? As always the animation and artwork are drool worthy and in this episode it was quite well used. Portraying the students as a group of faceless individuals really showed the group mentality driving their actions. The individuals lost themselves to their fear and became part of this sinister group mind. It's interesting because while this episode was extreme, a group mentality like this is a very real thing. I just wish there were more episodes like this one and episode 3 and less of the fan service. This show has the ingredients to be great but it normally doesn't fulfill it's potential. Every episode does tend to have a few moments that make me sit up and take notice but this episode was gripping all the way through. Although I feel like this episode could have been even better if they had started building it up last episode. |

| Well that was fast. They blazed through this whole arc in a flash. Though I could appreciate a little buildup like Kirishima showing up in the previous episode as a cliffhanger. The content was still pretty good and thrilling. Okay I guess. |
 |
| Pretty good episode, I'm glad they decided to take this arc into use ^^ Very well animated, I was really impressed with this episode, hope they keep up with this quality! :) Although the animation and the episode generally were top-notch for this anime so far, I feel like there was something missing for this comparing to the manga... I just can't quite grasp of what it is. 4/5 for the episode because I was left with the kind of feeling that something important is missing, otherwise would be 5/5 Looking forward to the next episodes, finally some development with |
 |
| That ending is weird. I lol'd at all those students running for their lives. There was no Akahito-san. lol |
| This episode was a bit more serious than the previous ones where before they just rode on the anti-climax trope. This time they dealt with people's blinded way of thinking and mass hysteria, which may have even ended in murder had it not been for our protagonists/main characters. I'm actually glad to see more serious elements being implemented, and hopefully lead to more backstory to Yuuko's past, and the potential outcome of her future (maybe with Teiichi). |
| There was too little build-up and as a result a great sense of disbelief to overcome for me concerning the arising paranoia of the students. Still, I appreciated the experimentation with different artstyles and the peculiar use of lighting. |
 |
| The effect a rumour can have is scary people will believe allot when there scared and they won't know what there doing anymore. Paranoia is a scary thing and people suffering from it are dangerous. It was a nice episode i really timed Kirishima Yuuko for some reason tho she should have just ignored the rumour it would have been better for her. |
| Was this episode directed by a first-year film student? There's nothing worse than horror that tries to be avant-garde for the sake of being avant-garde -- because that's missing the point. Between the use of a film damage filter, a sepia filter, some black-and-white scenes, distortion effects, subtitled dialogue, and random words splattered in red across the screen, this episode was a mess. Sure, you can justify each of those techniques individually, but some things you just don't stir into the cooking pot together. (That being said, I still love this episode's use of contrast, as I have for every episode so far.) |
| Creepy is one of the main thing I love about this anime !! |
 |
| good ep. good manga adaptation. stupid ass girls. dont seem that much differnt from my school |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
Wow, this episode was so creepy. I liked it !  |

| Whoa, that was a good episode! It felt different from the previous ones and actually seemed to have some horror in it. It also had much less comedy as compared to the other episodes - also a good contribution to the atmosphere. |
| Great ep. Very different from previous ones. TBH I wanted the golden haired Yuuko to get killed by those kids lol. Anyone that sets up silly false rumours like that only to have it turned against you deserves what comes to them. Scene @ the very end of the ep was interesting too. Can't wait for next ep! |
 |
| Teiichi: Isn't it painful for you? Yuuko: Painful? |
 |
| It was a good episode, didn't expect it to be animated, really xD |
| Quite a nice episode ~ Looks like we're finally gonna get some info on that shadow |
| Golden haired girl or yellow w/e, isn't afraid of anything? Uhm I wonder if she has connections to something. (Typed this while watching it) Also next episode we get to see that shadow thats been lurking. Curious to what will happen. Can't wait. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Wonderful dark tone episode and a nice showing of what fear can do to human mentality(Hello US citizens) and how things can get out of hand or have unexpected consequences for those playing them. That scary black ghost seems to be especially haunting Kirie. I wonder why. |
| Can we get some progress already? =/ |

| what a turn of a event in this episode, someone called yukko that alive and hellbent at frist to get her name cleaer by make up some false story about "The Red Women" the whole studentbody there must be a bunch of idiot, beliving her but fear set in and make people do crazy thing and see something that not there, when they came busting in on the club house i was like o'snap these people are crazy, thought they where gonna find yukko body but they grab Teiichi instead but was glade to see Dead yukko save em and with a bat noless haha, the other yukko plan straight back on her, saw that coming just for the sole reason that she was messing with dem crazy's paranoid girls, so all in the end Dead yukko has to save Living Yukko from being sacrifice by her own rumor and in style i might add haha, was great to see the end, end like it did with peace made just wondering if the living yukko with have anything to do witrh the story? PS: Dat Fan-Service haha had to mention it it wouldn't be a ep witrhout some at lease 5/5 |
| Damn, needed more lovely REAL Yuuko. Blonde Yuuko isn't that bad either, but definitely no Yuuko, Yuuko. |
    |
| I really loved the whole concept of the two Yuukos. I hope the ending scene wasn't just teasing again and we will see some continuation in the next episode. 4/5. |
| Students who willing to kill a fellow class mate due to a mere rumor..... There are no teachers to stop them..... Mmmm.... Nice..... |

| Sigh... I was really hoping for a good actual horror anime. Those are very rare and this anime proves once again that good horror anime are almost nonexistent. Another incredibly mediocre episode, I don't think this show will ever get really good. |

| Damn these idiots they went ahead scared themselves shitless and almost committed murder. |

Then its time for you to stop wasting your time on this anime and start spending your time watching something that you enjoy... There's nothing wrong with dropping anime (or anything else) that you don't enjoy... |
deathbusters said: How many ghost stories can one school have? Seriously I can't believe how gullible and easily manipulated those students were- one person got 'attacked' and they go crazy screaming about how they don't want to die Remember, you've got a bunch of 12 and 13 year olds here, not adults. (Not that adults in crowds are necessarily any brighter...) |
| I liked the episode from an artistic point of view even if it was trying to hard sometimes but it didn't do the manga arc(s) justice. The previous arc was missing in which the living (blonde) Yuuko was introduced and where we already got a glimpse at her twisted character. The rest of this arc also felt horribly compressed, especially since they cut great scenes like Teichi and Yuuko spending the day together at the fair despite nobody else being able to see her (which leads to a multitude of funny scenes). The background of blonde Yuuko was also explored in more detail which made her actions at least somewhat understandable for the viewer. What seriously annoyed me though is that the episode didn't manage to convey that Ghost Yuuko was seriously pissed at the blonde girl and initially refused to help her. She only relented for Teichi's sake which was another small character development detail. I still gave it a benevolent 4/5 because they did the best they could with the limited time they had. |
| Really interesting how the students were portrayed as monsters because of their desperation. Unrealistic, but hey, it's anime :P And wow, that girl has gorgeous hair. 5/5 - Great episode. A little too much fanservice, but whatevs. |
| This episode reminded me of Kirishima's hair is nice, and she sorta got what she deserved for starting up all of these rumors in the first place. Tbh she had some good potential to be a nice character though. 2 Yuukos in the club would be cool, more girls to get the real Yuuko jealous too haha. Thats the 2nd time a weird shadow has appeared to Kirie, hmm I guess this is the true mystery of this show. |
 |
| Well at least something actually happened in this episode. Still don't quite like the plot or art in general though.. 3/5 |
 |
| That was one hell of an impressive episode, the visuals and the direction sucked me in but this story was better handled in the manga. Everything happened quite fast and I felt no connection because of that, especially Kirishima's character should've got more time. ZeroZx said: This episode reminded me of Same here, Another made me so angry with that. |
That was beautiful! I enjoyed this episode very much. It was darker and the comedy element was less in it. Though i enjoy the funny side of this anime, they can show and the dark side pretty good. |
| Yuuko Kirishima finally appears... later than expected. Sucks that a 3-chapter arc got compressed into one episode after practically skipping an entire volume of source material. Anyway, visually, the adaptation of the Akahito-san arc mystery looked good to me. |
| Wow! That was unexpected! A sudden art blast from Oonuma-sensei!!! Purely magnificent directing this episode! There's still a way to grow but he's definitely heading the right way and is a true Shinbou follower! |
| Finally a good episode! No trolling this time, I think. Oh stupid people overreacting to stupid rumors. Save them? Nah. They bullied Yuuko-san. I refuse to help. |
