Woah, cool opening song.

I found Masayuki Nakajima's oddly familiar yet I could quite place it. Fukuyama Jun. Of course.

Very beautiful ending song.

seems to be very slow paced, which isn't a problem to me so... Interesting atleast :) Could be good or could be horrible.

Whoa, this was creepy ^^
I was scared because all time I imagined what can appear next. And even if nothing appeard, I was still thrilled ;)

And, this psychologist looks suspicious.

Hard to say how this will turn out, but I got a good feeling about it ^^
So far I quite like it, especially the Opening is great :)
I probably regret this post by now.

Its pretty interesting, and boring at the same time.
But still will be watching it, just to be sure if I'll like it or not.

Ok, so we got an astral Traveler with a childhood trauma that reminds me a little about Mysterious Skin + Mystic River, a seer, a creepy psychologist, two other main characters with infos yet to be told, and a remote area setting.

I think I'll like this. I'm a sucker for creepiness anyway.

yeah quite slow, thought the beginning was creepy, also the kids astro projections were cool/wierd also, think this might need a few more episodes to get into, but overall its not too bad!

Big thumbs down for the OP thought, hated it :/

I'm surprised to read that a lot of you guys found this episode creepy. In which way? It wasn't at all for me. The only thing I thought that was creepy is how much the animation looks like Jigoku Shoujo's. Wow. I can't believe it isn't even the same studios. We don't care? No, we don't.
So, it's a pretty average beginning... A bit slow. This is neither a beginning that makes you feel like dropping the anime, nor continuing it. At the end of it, you feel neutral. Well, at least, regarding to me. Actually, not a lot happened. We don't know anything. If I hadn't read the synopsys I wouldn't be able to totally say what it is about.

Yes, the sounds o_O They were definitely creep and suspenseful...I don't know what to say really, because not much really happened. We learn that the main character Tarou was in a traumatic kidnapping incident with his older sister. Unfortunately, she did not survive. Since then, he's had narcolepsy and has lucid dreams. Interesting start, nevertheless.

Very interesting and mystical start, with the few glimpse we got from his past this also seems to be rather dark, with them being kidnapped and I fear the worst for his sister... but well this sure is an interesting start so let's see what's next!

Some of you need to learn what Psychological means. This was NOT Psychological, at all. It was just artsy-crap. A horrible attempt at post-modern BS. The story didn't go anywhere. Horrible first episode. It's like some of you see it as "it's so weird and completely retarded that it MUST have some deep and psychological meaning to it all."

I bet this show will turn out to be a pile of crap, because Mushiuta was. And this show reminds me a LOT of Mushiuta.

That was rather boring, for the first three quarter of the episode. The last quarter got a little bit interesting, but overall it was meh, it didn't intrigue me or anything. I hope that this is as good as the reviews say.

The moments with Taro drove the whole ep for me. His discomfort with his family. His memories detailing his and his sister's kidnapping. And what is happening to him like the dreams and what that other girl is all about..

Ogami brings a similar interest due to his father's connection to what happened.. If there was ever a time to grow a anti-social personality, that'd be it.

Nakajima could use a Gibb's head slap but I think he's gonna help get the ball rolling with that curious attitude of his.

4/5. It is interesting so far.

Looks like this could be a pretty intense show, interesting so far. I really like the opening theme.


that's how i feel!

i came to this by a clannad DVD i got from netflix, and the special features showed some anime trailers. looked interesting, and it is.

hmm...the atmosphere doesn't feel like it will have a lot (or even the tiniest bit) of comedy.

oh wow, the backstory or taro looks pretty horrific. i really like the ED as well. however from how low-key (depressing?) this episode gave, it seems like this won't have a happy ending.

and i just checked if it was an original, which is. it felt like it to me. which could be weird for others...

I am impresst,this was one of the best first episodes of psycholgical anime and anime in general I had wached from long time.
The artstyle and the atmosphere of this series are blended really good.Slow speaking and not so bright colors give to the viewer this dream like fealing that grab you to the end of the episode.Opening is unique and ending is beautiful,sound effects are amazing.
From 1st to the last minute of this episode I felt so uneasy,cringe and confused,that make this episode so good.
This anime looks or I must say feels like combination of Higurashi,Monster and maybe Serial Experimental Lain.I am so excited and maybe will watch first 5 episodes at once !!

as a first impression, i really liked the opening song. it's weird, but it's my kind of music and reminded me a bit of shiina ringo.

that said, this looks promising. gave me a bit of the same feeling shinsekai yori gave when i first started watching it - which i never finished - and later i felt a bit of a lain vibe. it's certainly intriguing and i don't really mind it being that slow.

but the sounds. the sounds are amazingly done and i have a feeling that is gonna be the biggest triumph of this series.

That was one long introduction. Makoto looks like an interesting character and the psychologist looks too weird and awfully similar to the person who put Tarou in that coffin-like space.

Slow, creepy asf, but with a hint or two that there is something there underneath several layers of psychological mumbo jumbo. Don't watch this if your tired/sleepy or annoyed in any shape or form.
