| The two "punishment" sequences so far have featured generic horror-type stuff, like blood spurting from a faucet -- the series will grow trite if the episodes continue like that. Instead, I wish the punishments would run parallel to their sins. In this episode, for example, the Chief could've been "stalked" by death in the same way that he stalked Ryoko -- like opening a door and being buried under a mountain of dead hamsters or insects that tumbles out. I love the concept of the series and I've loved the concepts of the first two episodes, but the scripts and storyboards of those episodes were just going through the motions. |
| It was so obviously that he was the stalker the whole time -_- |
| Great and interesting, will this anime be like one story per episode? Either way it's quite interesting little but quite compact story's! Didn't liked the OP that much but the ED is still quite nice! |
 |
| Man, another bystander has to go to hell, after there death... in this episode, it seem the offender pushes the victim into making the deal. Her life was threaten and she had to pull the string to save herself. Kind of debatable situation. Let say you live to 100 yr, but probably burn in hell forever... note* in certain religion, you burn in hell for a certain time and get a second chance in the reincarnation cycle again. Maybe first off as an animal etc... Looking forward to Emma Ai background, hopefully a personality. and OMG@ plot twist, did not expect the old dude to be the offender. |
 |
| I love the ending |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| Lol 2 episodes in and I already know its not my thing, too repetitive for me.. Might watch one episode at a time |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| 1) Oh ok.. I get it now.. Ai and her partners are the main characters.. I didn't realize that in episode 1 XD 2) Is it just me, or does Ai doesn't seem to enjoy her job.. but it looks like the other dudes do 3) I wonder if this whole anime is just going to be about victims getting punished for getting revenge on their attackers.. or if the later episodes will gradually focus more on Ai and the crew.. or perhaps someone actually tries to fight the punishment or something.. or even fight Ai or something.. hmm.. Will watch the next o.o |

| I need to say for this girl there was really no option other then making the deal she was about to get killed or raped or what ever. still don't know what this show got to bring but so far so good. I think people will try to fight back later on but also think its useless cause the person they need to fight is not even alive so how you kill it and comes from the deepest parts of hell what you gone do all I can say I wish them luck. |

| What year is this anime set in? If it's present day or so (2005 when it aired), it would be possible for the girl to block that number and any other number the stalker sent messages from :P My cellphone is more than 10 years old, and I can block numbers if I want. |

| ^ Well.. never know how stalkers think. He could just get a new anonymous number and keep going. Okayy.. the guy trolled me.. I didn't thought it would be the other detective. *nice one* That little kitten song is creeping me out.. hahaha. Too bad she had to pull the string.. torture that bastard for eternity man. Enmai Ai.. you are beautiful. I can't take my eyes off you. <3 |
| Personally, this episode was immensely boring. Is this supposed to be a horror series? Because it sure doesn't feel like it. Also, was that supposed to be a jumpscare where Ryouko actually has the face of a skull? ... It's so predictable. I was excited about watching this because it had great reviews (that I'd seen, at least) but it's been nothing but a disappointment. I'll probably watch one more episode before dropping... |
 |
| Another good episode. ahxiian said: Enmai Ai.. you are beautiful. I can't take my eyes off you. <3 XD |
| Well this episode was much better then the first one, though I can see this series getting really repetitive if it continues like this. The detective being the stalker actually surprised me, wasn't expecting that. Glad he got what was coming to him, though i felt bad for the girl in the end. Also that box of bugs he sent her was disgusting >_<. |

| If this is going to be episodic, I might be wrestling over who deserves what each time. It didn't take long to find someone who deserved what was coming, but now I feel a bit empty knowing that Ryouko has to pay equally to her stalker for acting out of self defense. |
 |
| Pretty decent episode! Did not see the head of the police being the true culprit. I seriously almost cried tears of joy when the dad was alive at the end. I loved seeing how supportive her family was for Ryoko. I am still really entrigued by Ai and her gang! Hope to learn more about them at some point.~ |
| ok but on the real note that demon guy with the fringe is so hot |
| The dub voice for Ai is so shit it hurts |
| That was a pretty sweet episode. Did NOT see the other police officer being the stalker coming at all. I've been meaning to check out this show for quite some time, but never got around to it until now.....I'm not too big on eposodic anime, but I assume with it being 3 seasons and what it's rated as it should be good. |
 |
| dat plot twist |
 |
| i haven't done anything wrong they all say it. |
 |
| It was an alright episode. Way too predictable for my liking, you could easily tell it was the 2nd inspector from the voice on the phone at the very start :/ |
 |
| That's a great episode. So it seems to be really a one-episode thing. It is interesting though the way they scare the bad guys. |
 |
| Freaking stalkers and their creepy shit. This case was different to the first in the fact that her life and parent's lives were in danger so she didn't really have much of a choice but to use the doll. Had she not done so, she would've died and after finding out her dad was still alive the stalker would've just gone to the hospital to finish the job. Enjoy your time in hell you POS. Also, the fact that the stalker was a member of the police force is pretty disturbing. You never know how many times that's been the case in real life. Woah, didn't notice that :o Nice catch. |

opal909 said: ok but on the real note that demon guy with the fringe is so hot Haha word! I felt even worse for Ryouko because unlike Mayumi who COULD have told the truth to her teacher or parents (I know it's very difficult, but the option was there) she sort of had no choice as to whether to pull the string and condemn herself to hell or not -- if she hadn't, he was going to bash her brains in with a shovel :< I quite like watching an episodic anime from time to time but so far I'm not sure if I really like this one or not lol. Only two episodes in I guess I can't say for sure yet. |
 |
| I know others have said it, but I hope that this story doesn't use the same formulas for 26 episodes straight. It's been good so far but I don't want to see 24 more episodes that all use the exact same framework. |
 |
on 
| Damn that plot twist :o you know what they say too much love will kill you, hoping for that girl to not untie the red string sad she did though :( |
| Take that stalker! Too bad it's basicly double K.O. The girl didn't deserve that. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Serves the captain right.. |
| Another very strong episode. That stalking was way too extreme... Jesus all that hardwork. Kinda unrealistic tho, it seems. Why would a SUCCESFUL detective go that far? he is basically diging his own grave for an underage?????? dunno about that. He also turned out to be a psycho as he tried to kill her dad and probably killed other detective who led the case. And yeah i 100% agree with the girl to call the Hell girl (the desperation was real) mind you she was also really really scared of that man and for her parents even if she knew about hell she took the offer. Ippen shin demesu is great as always. |
| Great ep, even if I know from the artr it was him xD I was watching the ep with a friend and just pointed my finger: I think its him lol Still really great episode, he got what he deserved. Preview for next ep ... I cant imagine what its about ... but I will surly see soon by myself |
 |
| The OP was nice. I never expected the twist i the stalker. Also the fact that the kitty cat badge of the detective provided a clue as to the real identity of the stalker. I think studio DEEN in 2005-06 had a really simple animation style. Compared to other studios, they really didn't bother much with the animations. Even in Giurashi that's the case. Wonder why. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |

| It's really obvious from the moment he entered the room that the older police is the stalker, this is a really cliche trope ... I am bored with this first two episodes, the plot is so stupid, why the hell that stalker must go that far to kidnap the girl by attacked the father and young detective ? He could do better knowing that he could send a dress to girl's bedrooom ! And the last action of him by infiltrate the hospital is even stupider ... I wonder if I will get at least decent episode ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| I feel like the detective did not get punished enough or is it just me? |
 |
| Another story, but more fucked up. I still dont know if this is going to be episodic or something will happen at the end with every character. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
WolfWood37 said: I feel like the detective did not get punished enough or is it just me? did u forgot where she is dragging him? this was just a warm-up |
| Was a nice episode, but it relatively reminded me of episode 1. And now I'm feeling like the scares could go abit farther. I sorta hope they start switching things up more |
| "We brawlers are sustained by willpower! Even when mocked as reckless and crazy!" |
| Oh wow, I didn't expect it to be the other guy. What a weirdo, serves him right. Too bad Ryoko has to go to hell though. At least her dad was okay. |
