Kineta said: It may be. It's just not the logical step in the usual plot. Maybe I'm weird... but it wasn't THAT much of a twist for me. I was thinking she might go psycho, but I didn't expect it at that moment. I wonder what happens to him now though... |
 |
| I was more surprised when it was revealed that she killed her father, after finding that out I kind of guessed that anything was game for her. Plus, the knife scene was a big hint for both stabbings. |

Plus, the knife scene was a big hint for both stabbings. I assume the knife scene was when they were packing boxes? When I first saw that, I had thought she would need to be put on suicide watch rather then suspect her of murder O_o |

| Wow, this show pulls a nice boat on the first episode? Pretty awesome. |
 |
| Holy crap that was so awesome. |
  |
| Wow... One third of Shinigami No Ballad, one third of Kumo No Mukau, Yakusoku No Basho, and one third of unbelievable plot twists in the end (actually, the one that shocked me most was the letter and not the stab because I REALLY didn't saw that coming and that's absolutely rare that I don't see this kinds of things coming ;)), no doubt that this first episode was awesome. I'll keep watching very enthusiastically I think, if the rest of the series is as good as that. I rate it 10/10 right after the first ep (how long has it been since I saw such a great first episode, Death Note maybe a year and a half ago ?) ! Oh, and the art is ridiculously good too, the music is just perfect and Tatsuo Sato is such a great director, in fact the only annoying thing is the speaking-staff :p |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

| Phew.. For a moment i thought that boy gonna be the main char but he got wasted in the episode which got me lol'd there. Definitely a must watch for me hehehe.. |
 |
| Poor Shouta. D: I was quite impressed with this. It tunred out differently than what I thought it would be. Very excited about the next episode. |
 |
| That staff needs to shut up. D: Eh, I was actually pretty underwhelmed with this episode, but I'll give it a few more and see how it goes. |
 |
| Wow I sure dind't see that plot twist comming at all o.o I was expecting they would form some weird accomplicious relationship, or it would turn out that she had a real good reason for killing her father. But what happened somehow definitely upped my interest a whole lot. I wasn't very interested at the beginning but now I'm almost holding my breath for the next ep! >_> |
 |
| yeah she was all cute at firs then, BLAM. stab. |
| The show was looking to be a bit mediocre until they pulled that ending out - I'm kinding hoping Shouta will stay dead, he's far too generic and I have a deep suspicion he's likely to angst a lot if they keep him in (after all this is a supernatural themed show and death probably isn't that much of a boundary). Also - the staff has the potential to get annoying, im more interested in ms stabby and whats driven her to do what she has... Will definetly check out the next episode - this series could get quite interesting, or it could become very lame :-( |
 |
| I'm loving the show. Wasn't quite surprised by the letter, but the ending...well. The most pleasing aspects of the show for me, was the musical score, animation and overall concept. |
 |
| All I have to say is... Owned. |
| Simply a Stunning episode. In one single episode they recreate with upmost acuracy one of the most complex feelings, the love, and what a person feels when it is inlove (even when the "ending of the ep" happens). Shigofumi has a lot more mature feeling that i was really expecting. I will track this one down. Simply amazing EP 1. |
| Finally is an understatement. I think I've been holding off on beginning Shigofumi for weeks now, and boy, I was damn impressed with the ending. |

 |
| Wahaha I love Kanaka XDD~ Really great Anime, I loved Shinigami no Ballad so I'm sure I will love this anime too :D Ayase was scaaaryyy at the end |
   |
| Holy crap I wasn't expecting her to do that there at the end.:O |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| omgosh this episode i thought was pretty innocent to begin with, and didnt understand why it was called psychological, but by the end of this episode, i now understand fully why it is!! whaooo |

| looks like an intersting and promising anime i think il keep watch it.^^ the ending was totaly unpredictable! by the way its is reminding shinigami no ballad,but lets see if it just look like it or more than that. |
 |
| Gosh, this bored me a bit at first but the mindfuck in the end was just awesome! |

 |
| Excellent and unpredictable final. This series promises... |
 |
| I was like "wtf?" o.O promising anime so far... |
| I just have watched first episode. Ending of it was quite... surprising... But also quite depressed... However, I like it ^^ I love anime like that :D :3 |
| http://fairy-end.myminicity.com - please click me sometimes xD |
| wow what an interesting first episode to a series. Totally mindblowing in the end and quite dark. Ive read a few reviews of this of people saying how the first episodes of the series were great but the latter werent as good and ending pretty much downgraded their ratings. For me i just hope its not too bad of a last impression in the end. |
| Just finished watching it and I'm quite impressed! It's very cool in terms of sound, video and cinematic techniques. |
 |
| That was an amzing first episode and so not what I was expecting. I thought the letter would be the usual please look after my daughter crap but holy sh*t I was not expecting the my daughter killed me so turn her in thing. And at the end my jaw hit the floor when she killed him. I'm so glad I started watching this I hope the next 11 episodes are this good. |
 |
| I didn't expect that. It still doesn't mean that he isn't a main character. On to the next episode. |
 |
| What a twist!!! Was not expecting that... Anyone else kinda reminded of October Sky with the whole rocket thing? |
| I think I'm in love with Ayase. |
| My god, that was amazing. DAT ENDING, FUCKING AWESOME TWIST. |
 |
SamTheNayru said: My god, that was amazing. DAT ENDING, FUCKING AWESOME TWIST. It sure is |
Stupid 3rd World Country |
| I get the feeling I am going to be so hooked on this series... I love Fumika and her sidekick staff. <3 Anyways.. |

So it wasn't just me! >D XDDD Wasabi said: Wow, this show pulls a nice boat on the first episode? Pretty awesome. I LOL'd hard. And regarding the episode, I'm not really like, "OMG WHAT A TWIST AWESOME" at this, though I like the idea and I kind of expected her to go nuts and for him to get stabbed at that moment. However I was not expecting her to be the one who killed her father - her character seemed so untarnished with me having no suspicion for her at all, so I guess that's the one good thing. And also that I was going, "No. They're really not gonna end it right there, are they? No... They are... They did. Well, shit." I like Kanaka. Talking staffs > talking plushie-like mascots. |
 |
| Wow, what a shocker! The ending really took me by surprise and made me hook to the anime from there on. Hope its gets better, and more interesting. |
| O_o Woah! Poor guy got stabbed because he was blinded by his love of the girl, I won't get to see his "Nice Rocket " fly anymore? LOL Looks very interesting for a first episode. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I was taken by surprise in the end! did not expect such a twist o.o Great episode, 5/5 |
| Oh well. |
| First thought: Very similar to Jigoku Shoujo in terms main premise. Very good, I love the idea. Plan to marathon this today~ |
| Woah, didn't see that coming. (Ayase being the murderer, not Shouta getting murdered) :D |
 |
| Really surprised me when I first watched this, one of the best series I've watched last year. |
 |
| Impressive first episode for this series. I can't wait to continue; this seems like a promising anime. |
 |
| Started off looking pretty weak and not very interesting. Then the ending woke me up. Well, alright, let's see where this show goes. |
