| Pretty poor. I think Shaft could do a bunch of pretty characters tilting their necks and people would swallow it up and call it a masterpiece. I hope this show improves soon. So far I'm not impressed. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Have no idea what's going on plot wise Teacher convo was pretty funny I like how her classmates and the idol recruiter were all portrayed as some type of music player. It was really eerie but creative. Does she have some sort of supernatural power of attracting attention? decent episode |
| Guys I can promise everyone it picks up next episode. As the preview clearly implies, next episode she meets the Mekakushi Dan which means we're finally going to connect back to what happened in the first episode. It will be a lot more interesting and a lot of confusion should be cleared up. I personally liked what they did with the OP because it seems more lively now. The ED is very pretty. Overall I liked the animation in this episode better, though I wasn't that fond of the running montage with Kisaragi Attention. I definitely agree that it felt dragged out, but to me that means next episode can only be faster-paced. I didn't like Kill la Kill until the third episode either -- they call it the three episode test for a reason. |
| I really like Kagepro, but this episode fell very flat and the entire eye power thing hasn't been elaborated on well enough for new viewers to understand. (Well, it takes a lot of explanation, but even for a base idea of what's going on...) There sure was a lot of filler between Momo and the teach. Hopefully the plot will become clearer next episode. Mekakushi-dan next episode? |
iLostReason said: Hibiya instead of wind? what.I actually like that idea for cameo, it felt more natural, and its going to give a better feeling to Otsukimi Recital if they animate it.I just didnt like that Kido didn't actually approach Momo at the end of episode.If that happened i would have less complains. btw. I see lots of people complaining.Is it because everything seems confusing, because of SHAFT or any other reason? just curious. No no.This is Otsukimi Recital, the song from this episode is Kisaragi Attention: http://youtu.be/rk-wPp9Ru3I Both were playing.. An instrumental/off vocal of Kisaragi Attention played in the very beginning to start off the episode A cover of Ostukimi Recital was used as an insert song during the chase scene. |
| As weird as the first half of the episode was, I liked the second half (Kisaragi Attention!). Honestly from the pacing I can see it picking up in the next few episodes, but then again this is SHAFT so who knows what will happen.. Looking forward to next week. |
| The only thing that was actually well done was the ED. Everything else was disappointing and didn't do much for me. |
 |
| I think the anime is a great addition to the kagepro universe, so I think the weekly complaints are kind of missplaced. But perhaps after the one shared the link to otsukimi recital it just put me in an amazing mood, precious Hibiya in that and then in anime and everywhere, love. |

| Kisaragi Attention was not sung by Momo's seiyuu, it was sung by Haruna Luna. Strange that Lia didn't sing it but she did sing the ED, "days". |

| This Ep started good, but it became slow very fast. I read the manga (as far as I can find chapters) but this is not what I've imagined when I found out about the anime. But I guess we all were warned in the first episode. I hope that they won't focus on one characters introduction per episode, some how after (only) two episodes they focus more on one characters than the over all plot development.. or at least that is what I think. Hope episode will pick the pace a bit! |
| well that was very random, I had a few laughs at the beginning but thats it |
| Well The OP was beter then the first episode this episode was amazing <3 just same as the manga the ED was sad. Hiyori-Chan <3 |
 |
| next episode is do or die for mine. there has been no plot advancement whatsoever. |
 |
| Since the manga and novel have pretty high scores I was expecting this anime to be really good, but it's plain boring (are the songs supposed to be the good parts of the show or what?). The only interesting moment was when Kido was looking at Kisaragi from above. I'll continue to watch this series until the end and it gets a 6/10 from me at the moment. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| now I remember why I stopped coming to MAL, majority of people who like the episode stay hidden while the boards are filled up with mostly complaints >.> ahhhh overall this episode was great~ :3 I can totally seen now at this point the anime getting another season if it's only 11-12 eps this season. there's too much source material, and given the fact this was slowly paced, seems to me there's even less of a chance for them to complete the story this season. Oh this episode was much better than the first one, was less choppy and flowed better. also loving how they gave Momo more of a backstory ^_^ I'd much rather have them do this slower pace over a few episodes rather than try to squeeze everything into 1 episode, but finally next ep we get to have some information on the story~ that Hibiya appearance was so random, but nice I suppose~ but for those who aren't sure but want to stick the anime out, don't worry, this series will have some pretty interesting things happening sooner or later :3 |

| This is so shafty that I might start calling Momo Karen.. Pretty nice ep. Really like the pacing, because it's, once again, really monogatari-sh. Also, I really like the Kirisagi Attention part. It gave me chills. And I think I'll faint each time I see Kido. I don't get why so many people are disappointed. It's Shaft's way of doing things - it'll get better in the blu-ray release anyway. (spotted the date on the wall :p ) |
 |
| So she is going to be recruited into the gang. What is that gang called anyways? Great episode!!! |

| as a long time kagerou project fan i'm pretty disappointed with the show so far. the fact that the plot is this slow and that the series is only 11 episodes makes me worried. the kisaragi attention montage was a nice touch though (i think yuikonnu's version is better). don't let me down, shaft! >< |

| This could literally have been anything, it doesn't matter what. Shinbo's influence just overpowers every single aspect of this show. |
Rashkolnikov said: Is just me or this doesn't make any sense? LOL no, you're not the only one feeling this way I started it because of all that hype before it aired but I honestly have no idea what's going on or even what they're trying to do or show so far this show is my least favorite of the season, I'm not even attracted to the songs.... |

| What's up with all the disappointment left and right? This episode is amazing. Much much better than the first one. Heck the pacing is pretty good and 10 episodes left is more than enough to cover everything. They are going for one song per episode so it makes sense Jin only focus on Momo in this one. |

I don't exactly have a problem with introducing one character per episode/one song per. However, it is short, and depending on the next 2-3 episodes it'll really show how the pacing will be. Due it only being a 12 episode anime, it certainly will be interesting. |
|
| i actually liked this episode It was kinda draggy a little in the beginning but it was still a good episode |
| Not bad at all, not bad. I'm only watching this because of SHAFT. But I must admit that I do not dislike every episode about a character and its "powers". |
 |
| very good episode the animation style blends perfectly with the plot also liked the voice of Momo, and your answers in test kkk next episode already presents the Makakushi Dan and so the story will make more sense I really liked the opening and the ending _________ episódio muito bom o estilo de animação combina perfeitamente com o enredo também gostei da voz da Momo, e de suas respostas na prova kkk proximo episodio já apresenta o Makakushi Dan e assim o historia vai fazer mais sentido gostei muito da abertura e do encerramento |
  |
| Not as good as the first episode, but still decent. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Eh... what? The first episode was going for a mystery, then suddenly it changes focus to this new girl doing absolutely nothing, and we get barely a glimpse of the mystery at the end of the episode. Seriously? |

| Momo Kisaragi introduced An idol and someone who catches almost everyone's attention. Lol Momo's imaginating being a first year again xD Wow, she managed to get a 2 on her test? lolol. Uh, she ate the book? LOL. That song while they were getting chased around was pretty good. Wasn't bad, but felt very slow. |
 |
| This was so good, I don't know why all these haters are bitching oh and that opening <3 |
 |
| Where's my Ene?! |
| Episode began with Momo running and getting greeting left and right. I felt that this scene dragged long and the animation wasn't even that good. OP plays. Daze. Enhanced graphics and Ene's photobombing the entire OP :D Momo and Kenjirou talk - Kenjirou doing head tilts Momo's past revealed - it seems that her father died while he saved her from drowning? Momo's weird powers started affecting people Art Club President wasn't impressed with her powers. Aww feels, the curse of attention. I really like how a musical player takes the form of the person and the shadows shows how they act. Either this is art or just lazy animation. Momo went to outside in a hoodie and met an unnamed boy (who probably is a main character since he's heavily detailed compared to the others) Unnamed boy calls Momo an 'old hag' XD Then Kisaragi Attention plays and they start running. Kido appears and seems to be targeting Momo? Animation is definitely better than the first episode lol Episode 2: Kisaragi Attention 7/10 for me |
| I liked this episode more than the first one. Momo is great. |
 |
| It's really just my preference (probably) but holy shit do I hate the backgrounds, I think I hate everything about the art except for the artstyle of the characters. I'm pretty sure that Momo was supposed to be going to school in that scene with Kenjirou and her awful grades but that building did not look like a school. I think I got more reminded of a freaking subway than a school, except that it's way brighter and makes no sense! Seriously, every damned building just looks weird, in what time period is this story set in?! At least there was more color in this episode. Ranting aside, I think that this episode was better than the first one for the fact that it showed a lot about Momo but even then the flashbacks looked so weird, why can't things look normal, is that too much to ask? Being a fan of the songs, I wasn't as mad as I should've been for the screentime wasted on Momo and Hibiya running away while Kisaragi Attention was playing. It's like watching Utena go up the stairs in every duel: it's just as boring. Speaking of wasted screentime, that conversation between Kenjirou and Momo took too much time that could've been well spent on more important things like Mekakushi Dan and the actual continuation of episode 1 but oh well, I guess that'll only happen in the next episode if we're lucky enough. Even though I said all of that, I really liked the insight into Momo's past, it's easily the best part of the episode even when I'm biased towards Momo meeting Hibiya because of Otsukimi Recital. I honestly like the Opening more than the Ending but that's really just my preference so whatever. For now, I can only hope that it gets better... ^^' |
