----------------------------------------
Ok, so this was another confusing episode after being somewhat clear from the last one. Maybe this show is meant to be watched with a week between maximum, because every episode, I feel really insecure about my knowledge, and build back up to security in knowing what's happening.

From what I understand, the secret that the movie star is actually kidnapped girls mother, but didn't we know that already? Maybe it was strongly inferred. Also, it seems that Yoriko went to meet the man with the white gloves. Isn't he the guy she said that she saw push Kanoko into the train? That was really stupid of her.

Mr. White Gloves is clearly creepy, wearing a blac trench coat in the middle of a sunny day like that, manages to trick Yoriko, and...well, I'll just presume that she's dead.

What I don't understand is why these guys wanted to hide these connections from Kiba. He is the detective, and was there for most of what happened, so I don't know why they wouldn't want to swap info.

To top it all off, Yoriko's mom is a believer in Onbako, which makes sense given the priest who came in to Yoriko's house after she met Kanoko blessed the four sides of the living room.

I feel like there is a clearer way to say everything, and the bouncing around/ never getting to see enough of a character at a time to make differentiations makes things extra murky.

Yeah, Yoriko just jumped into the wolf's maul ! Well, having its head inside a box for eternity isn't a bad way to end, or is it? This episode felt pretty clear to me, all the pieces are now put together, we just have to take some guesses and understand the logic of the killer, and everything seems at hand. Let's hope that the detective team will reach the solution soon ;)

Apart from the script, the animation and art are still top-notch and the music fits so well with the atmopshere of the show it's absolutely perfect. Really a fascinating series, I really love it.

I think I understand the logic of the killer. Wasn't that heavily parced in the past two episodes? When I say clear, I think I just mean that I understand what's going on, but if you ask me to explain clearly, everything is jumbled. Like with the killer, they've explained it, and I understand, but trying to explain it to you, my thoughts don't know what to process to come up with everything.

I'm really liking this series so far. It's very different from many anime I have seen before; I actually have to think lol....but I'm enjoying it. "Yeah, Yoriko just jumped into the wolf's maul !" lol yeah...she actually believed that the psycho-white-glove-man was going to draw her? Didn't she notice anything once she took one step into that cold and dark room? Ugh...anyway...yeah this series is interesting. The only problem I'm having is finding the rest of the episodes subbed; hopefully they'll come out soon.

Yeah, i really like the convoluted narrative this show has. I also feel like it would be less confusing if i just watched all the episodes in a row, and not once every 2 weeks.

even if we now know, or almost, about the killer of the cutting girls up case, there is still a lot we don't know. i would never be satisfied until i know the meaning behind that "when i die i become you" thing between the girls in the first ep, and the mental deal of the main character, and the history of the doctor and that "hospital" and what happened to the disappeared girl. i have a feeling the end of the story is when we find out weather that girl is alive dead, and where she is. but there is so much mystery with every character i just can't be satisfied until everything is told. i'm the most curios about the main character of course. he is the most likely to become crazy in the near future and do crazy things. i can't wait.

Wow wow wow *too excited* I love this anime so very much, it's just brilliant. And now many pieces are finally put together. Yoriko was pretty stupid for even following that man. Do you normally follow random men on the street who propose to draw you and stuff? I mean he has "suspicious" written all over him. Whatever happened to her now is her own fault.
That atmosphere is just something else, the artwork and background music are both stunning. I love LOVE this anime, can't wait for next episode *o*
