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


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.


Exactly, she was smart but at the same time dumb. She assumed she would be attractive forever and then went nuts when she found out she had a pimple. She clearly didn't die at the end though. The cop said she was still breathing.

Putting aside the abuse of the lighting effects and cherry blossoms and my slight shock that the characters looked human this was a surprisingly good first episode. I was hoping that the plot and characters would be strong given that it's a novel adaptation and so far that seems to be the case, but the animation production was way better than I expected which was an added bonus. Hopefully the level of quality stays high as we delve deeper into the story.

CLAMP x Madhouse = Win

This anime season sure is awesome, probably the best in couple of past years.

This is interesting. Was a really strange and beautiful first eps. It was kinda slow and weird, but at the same time is was almost mesmerizing. I'm definitely waiting for more, I'm curious how everything will turn out.

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.


ME TOO ME TOO! I got chills acutally! VERY RARE for me to get it suddenly.

Yeah that was totally freaky O_O And the whole ep was strange.. god dammit I didnt understand much.. but it got me interested and I guess that's what matters eh?

Three worlds.

What the Fuck?

The one thing I really want to make mention of here is the environment bound by the music, quickly shifting from calm and tranquil, to dark and rather melancholic, which is probably what made this so weird. The sudden, yet frighteningly natural shift kept me hooked on, as it likely will all season as this builds up. Admittedly, this wasn't what I expected in the least, though honestly, I'm not even sure what I was expecting. In the end, what more can I say than, "Well, I'm confused, yet still somehow massively intrigued."

Anyhoo though... Yay for dismembered school girls stuffed into boxes while somehow still alive!

Wow. The graphics/art and animation are very nice. Yeah, CLAMP + Madhouse = Amazing.

Well, confusions and weirdness in this first ep = prompts viewer to look forward for next episode.

Oh my, there was slow parts there and I thought I felt like I am watching it more than 24 mins(?).

Though I'm not fond of the character designs much, the artwork was still amazing. Banzai Madhouse~!

Looks like I have another horror type this season, along with Chaos;head and Shikabane Hime Aka.

First half the series looked like a drama and yuri anime but in the end it looked more like what's expected of it. Clamps character designs aren't as freaky as in R2, as in they don't look all that fucked up which is nice. Beautiful animation as well as some of the best music for an opening episode this year. This season looks good on horrors/supernatural at least.
