Very impressed. Intriguing characters and a plot that grabbed me at the end. The animation was great, the backgrounds were amazing, and the CLAMP designs even looked less lanky. I'll be watching this to the end. 世界は美しくなんかない。 そしてそれ故に、美しい |

I'm a bit confused here. Why did that girl have to die? |

yFANTgirl said: I'm a bit confused here. Why did that girl have to die? But yeah.. I must say that I'm relatively confused, too... Regardless, I agree that the show seems to be promising. Animation/art is certainly grand, but who can expect less from CLAMP (I say all they're arts rather unique and amazing)? ;/ |

I heard that the plot is going to be like kind of detective story in the latter parts of this series, and there will be no more yuri ....:( Anyway the animation is really amazing and I like the artworks very much,,, except that the ED is so…… |

I'm not completely sure but I think the event towards the end had something to do with the zit and the girl talking about how she was going to be youthful forever and never age. The zit probably represented maturity or puberty, something in that range. |

Marimite + mystery + dancing + BAD END = Mouryou no Hako? I thought it was a very good first episode, with smooth pacing and an interesting atmosphere. Hints of Code Geass's ugly down-turned mouths remained, but overall the character design is quite pleasing. The voice-acting was excellent, Tomatsu Haruka is definitely the seiyuu to watch for this season. I hope this is one series that'll start gently and slowly draws the audience into its mystery, episode by episode, until we're perched at the edge of our seats desperate for more clues or a resolution. |

The zit probably represented maturity or puberty, something in that range. I think it just represented aging in general and how even Kanako's seemingly perfect being isn't immune to it. Still, quite an overreaction on her part, but I think it's just part of her plan for the naive Yoriko. |

Wow, both the art and animation are unbelievable, almost OVA-like. If you add to that the perfect atmosphere, you obtain a very unique and intriguing series. I'm looking forward for the second episode since this first one was truly outstanding. |

Weird stuff. But I can't say I'm not interested in the story. A cop's nightmare and girls dancing in the moonlight were the best scenes. |

well this was weird, but weird in the must-see way. Extremely good animation, great sound and voices, and what looks to be a great plot line. I was really creeped out by the mothers mouth when her daughter tried to close the door. ~five exclamation marks is the sure sign of an insane mind~ |

I think it was bec angel999 said: I think it was because she was all "LOLZORS I'm a little night stroller girl! I'll never, ever grow up!" And then got a pimple and realized that all the crappy stuff she saw around her was going to happen regardless of what she did, so she offed herself.yFANTgirl said: I'm a bit confused here.

This was a good watch, and it definitely shows a lot of potential. I hope this really develops into a wonderful seriously creepy mystery story. This first episode set the atmosphere nicely, so I'm definitely looking forward to more. btw, this feels like Code Geass meets Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, kinda xD Nightmare OP and ED is always good, as well. |

Very captivating first episode, unique and a bit unpredictable. I was really looking forward to this series and the first episode did not disappoint. |
