| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- We got 2 episodes back to back! Oh boy, we're getting some of the darker and supernatural stuff now too. One thing is not to mess with Kirima and another is never to go into some dark room without expecting what's ahead. Quite unpredictable in terms of some of the characters' actions. The feeling of fear and anxiety continues to develop. I'm also curious to see how much Boogiepop will discover about the nature of human emotions. Also want to mention that the OST works really well for the episode. |

Crunchyroll. Bonchoooon said: This show is interesting so far, hope they release another 2 episode next week. Nope, one episode next week (and other weeks too). Anyway, this anime is very interesting. |
| i am kinda disappointed of how awful the animation was for a premier episodes, and that coming for madhouse studio |
| Having a bit of trouble telling some of the characters apart at the moment- it might just be because so many got introduced all at once, but I'm not sure the designs are distinct enough either. It took me a bit to realize the brown-haired guy helping the manticore was not the same brown-haired guy who talked to Boogiepop. ...I gotta learn some names too. Otherwise, it was pretty intriguing. It's got an awesome soundtrack, for sure. I'm a little worried about the animation, but it wasn't bad enough to put me off entirely if the story continues to pull me in. |
| Oh well, rip Naoko. One thing that I prefer in this new adaptation is that it is less confusing compared to the 2000 series. Admittedly, it wasn't necessary to spoonfeed us so many infos right from the beginning, but it's better than being lost almost all the time. The atmosphere on the other hand was way better in the older series. The tone here isn't bad, even kinda good, but nothing compared to how extremely intense the other one felt. I'm still satisfied overall, let's see how it goes. |

| This got real so freaking fast and I love it For starters, the guy working with the Man-Eater is one messed up dude and even though I despise the fact that he's the mastermind behind all this, I'm very intrigued to learn more about him and see just how much more twisted he can become Nagi is a badass and I can already tell that she's probably gonna be my favorite character lol but man I REALLY wanna know more about her. It's pretty cool how her dad is like a famous serial killer/horror novelist so naturally a mystery like this would be right up her alley since she probably studied her dad's work a lot but I really wanna know where she's getting her physical capabilities from I had a feeling that Keiji's friend was dead, but I still was holding on to hope that she was gonna be one of those girls that Team Man-Eater was keeping alive, so seeing how she died made me sad since she seemed like a pretty cool girl....And seeing her short time with Echoes only confirmed that she was too....Man I wish that she could have stayed alive, because her relationship with Nagi and Echoes would have been fun to see explored further on in the series And as for Echoes, I did not expect to see that he's an alien sent to observe humanity....And of course the fucking government are gonna be the ones to fuck everything up and be responsible for this Man-Eater situation....Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing where his character is going to go and how he, Nagi and I'm guessing Keiji and Boogiebop will deal with all this stuff But overall, this episode was great and I'm especially loving the tone and soundtrack....The horror aspects are done really well too and it really made me realize how much I miss watching a good horror/psychological story, no wonder this series is so beloved and influential towards other LN's But now I'm left wondering wtf Boogiepop even is and how he came to be so I'm all in with this series now....Can't wait to see more |

| Interesting. Really interesting. Have no idea what the fuck is going on but it is interesting at least. |
| Okay yeah, this episode was awesome. Loving the narrative structure here, it's like we're being presented with different pieces of the story at different points in time that all get pieced together gradually. It creates a really nice mystery to it as well. I wasn't expecting Naoko to die this early though, I really liked her. Interesting revelations about Manticore and Echoes but we're still in the dark about how Boogiepop fits into all this. Is he another 'creation' or is he(she?) actually a supernatural force? I wonder what pulled Saotome towards working with the Manticore though, it's not like she forced him but rather he joined her of his own will. Does he just hate the world or something? Looking forward to more. |

| I like sound and the atmosphere. Tough I'm not fan of the visuals, they seem bland to me. It was also hard for me to differentiate between characters. Story is pretty intriguing so far. There were a lot of characters introduced and a lot of jumps in these two episodes so it was bit confusing and hard to follow. Tough it will probably become clearer as it goes. Definitely interested to see where this is going. |
| I'm confused over all the time jumping and flashbacking but it was interesting. |
| Enjoyed, got to pay attention or you will get confused. So many characters introduced then r.i.p slightly confusing or hard to follow unless as I said you pay attention. Enjoyed it though. |
| Is this rushed or am I just too dumb? I just can't follow. |
| This is reminding me of Kara no Kyoukai with the protagonist, atmosphere and the shit load of "I don't understand"s. I love it. |
| damn this is getting confusing, you have to keep track of the characters and their experiences/scenes lol |
Chapterhouse said: That is good to hear about the adaptation....But I think I'll watch Phantom after this anime is done just to see what you and everyone else are talking about in regards to itIt's extremely faithful to the light novel so far. Tbh I miss the dark washed out art of Phantom, but the story does take place before the main event that caused all the messed up stuff in Phantom. |
Roy_Cybertron said: I think Boogiepop is being told in an out of order fashion like Baccano yep the story events are told in out or order alright thats why it gets confusing |
| What i really needed to grasp is that the copy (Manticore) of Echoes took on the form of the girl, otherwise i would have been lost here about that first meeting of Saotome and what i thought was Echoes. Otherwise i could figure out that this is intertwining with the events of episode 1, just from another perspective. They are using time jumps really heavily here. It makes you think more about what's happening here and i'm liking this approach. |
| Well, the mystery thickens but the lack of distinctive detail given to each of the Characters is really making it hard to distinguish the Characters here making it all the more confusing for me. Seriously though, the theory of an alien coming to Earth to judge the humans or whatsoever and the clone of whoever that was turning out to be a man eater sounds all ridiculous but I’m curious to see how it all play out in the coming episodes. I’ll probably rewatch the two episodes tomorrow morning to gain a better grasp of everything that’s happening. Can’t say I’m fully hooked into this just yet, but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how this all unveils. |

Sometimes is not even flashback but just a skipped scene. |
| The first episode was interesting, but it was confusing. This episode really made things clear. I am really loving it!! I had to watch the two episodes repeatedly to memorise the faces and the timelines. Thank god the two episodes were released on the same day. Or else it would have been too painful to wait! |
Mattinator95 said: Just by the first two episodes you can tell this is what inspired monogatari's authour Inspired him the way to NOT tell a story you mean. |
| Another good episode. Was confused for a bit so i rewatched the 1st and everything clicked. Looking forward to this. |
shiro_kai said: It's like they think that going back and forth all the time makes your story more cool. Boogiepop would simply not work if they told it in a linear fashion. Reasons for this is because each chapter or episode shows different characters with different POV which sometimes their actions causes a chain reaction in the story |

| This episode was much more interesting than the first one since things were happening instead of 20 minutes of dialogue/exposition. I don't think it was that confusing since the majority of the mystery was explained and all that's left is to see how it will be resolved. Didn't quite meet my expectations but this is fine as well. Can't wait for the next episode. |

Roy_Cybertron said: Don't you know non-linear narrative is a thing? Ever heard of series like Baccano my dude? If you don't like this kind of storytelling , it's better if you just drop because I think it's gonna continue like this and you'll be more disappointed by it. I do know, and you couldn't be more right, I dropped Baccano because of that and never finished, its a pain in the ass. But I gonna wait a little more. |

Reasons for this is because each chapter or episode shows different characters with different POV which sometimes their actions causes a chain reaction in the story What about the scene where Kirima Nagi atacked the girl in the street, they could have just continued the scene but instead they cut to a girl being killed in a alley. There was no need for that. |
| The old adaptation was also non-linear, but it was significantly easier to follow in my opinion. This new adaptation would be better if the characters didn't look so similar and if it also included time stamps like the old one. Still, it's hard to find series with intriguing elements like this one, so I'm watching it all the way through. Probably gonna briefly rewatch these 2 episodes or at least episode 2 in order to make sure I understand everything so far. |
| I went into the anime completely blind, only hearing the hype behind it and I'm a bit disappointed, especially in the first episode. Episode 2 was better, but it was a boogiepop-less episode, which is a bit worrying considering the name is in the title of the show. We'll see how it will go on, but I'm gonna let my expectations go lower, since we only just started and the animation was already meh. I could barely recognise that the guy in episode 2 was a different one from episode 1. |
| I'm glad I rewatched the 2000 series a little before this new one started, this way I at least remember some of the concepts and can tell who the characters are (despite their looking very different from the old series). I enjoyed the first two episodes, they were interesting. |
