| Just finished this episode, then I watched the music video. So, what the hell are you complaining about? What would you have liked different? It's kinda hard to adapt a music video into a decent animation. Though, I haven't read the manga either. Just enjoy, the damn show? |

ed_armz said: Is it just me or does this anime have minor similarities to Monogatari. Not plot wise but the animation and directing view. Both are produced by SHAFT. |
| The second half was amazing. I was like "oh, groundhog day"... then Shinbo did what he does so well. Hiyori was kind of a b!tch... |

| Why not kill the stupid kitten? ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ Every episode feels really damn random, I hope there is a reason for seeing all these random characters, it would be stupid if they will never be mentioned again... |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| well, i haven't read the manga and i know basically nothing about this show (as in what will happen), but i really, really liked the second half of that episode. the first half was okay, but the second half... i really love such scenarios where the same thing happens again and again and the mc tries all different kind of things to find a solution how to change the outcome, but it always remains the same (usually until the mc has to accept it or kills himself). it reminded me a lot of steins;gate. but i have to admit i probably wouldn't have liked it that much if i hadn't seen (and liked) monogatari before. the art style was so crazy, it would've probably completely confused and distracted me. another thing i really enjoy so far is how they're all connected. like in the first episode shintaro is being held hostage and in the third episode we see what happens afterwards. or like in the second episode we get to know momo and in the third episode she appears in the same mall as her brother and helps him to escape. or like in the second episode we see how hibiya and momo interact and in episode four we seehow his life continues afterwards. well, you get my point. it's kind of a crazy show, but i enjoy it so far. |
| Damnit i was really waiting for this but now i've seen it....meh. I prefer the original song T^T aw well. Screw you cat. Lol |
 |
| Was actually happy that Hiyori keep dying :D I also loved the part when Hibiya woke up the third time. It's very similar to Homura's reaction in Madoka Magica |

| Recommend me an anime |
| Could not get what his power is, for me it is something like changing what happened but when he changes there's consequences, like "butterfly effect" movie. Anyway, could not get what was going on... |
 |
| Currently at episode 7, this episode remains the best of the show yet. Namely for the excellent last few minutes. Really powerful stuff there. |
| Not sure what the hell is going on, really... Still, liked the boy. Ha. |
| I really love how all the people who are saying the music videos are better keep calling the song Kagerou Days. It's priceless. This anime is mediocre because the source material is mediocre. The music videos are cool but they are (and this is going to sound crazy) fucking music videos. The fact that this looks like monogatari gives people an easy way of pegging everything of Shaft, as though they intentionally made this shit just to piss you off. The creator of the MVs and LNs is on the staff. He checks every episode before it goes out. Stop crying like little girls. And before anyone says it, yes, I'm a Shaft fanboy. And regardless of how much you cry and moan because your teenage boy fiction novels got adapted poorly, Shaft will continue cashing the madoka checks. #JELLY #RAGE@SHAFT #TEAMSHINBOU #GOTEAMSHINBOU |

| Hiyori is fucking annoying. |
 |
| One of the better episodes so far. |
 |
| First half was decent, though Hiyori was a bit annoying. Second half made zero sense. |
| Wow. I can't say anything else. 5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Hiyori is extremely fucking annoying. I can't stand her attitude. Snobby as hell. |
 |
PrincessAhri said: i agree Hiyori is extremely fucking annoying. I can't stand her attitude. Snobby as hell. and i do not know what is goin on in this anime but it's interesting |
| Was that a ginga nagareboshi gin reference, it was slightly hilarious Otherwise, I have no idea what is going on. |
 |
| Ayano is still mysterious, for me. I like Hibiya, he's so adorable. Konoha is also a cool guy. Hiyori is kinda annoying to me. Time loops, time loops everhwhere. Oh, before the ending credit, on the truck scene - my heart stopped. |
 |
| Whenever Hiyori dies in Hibiya's premonition, she's sort of mumbling something. What is it? I've finished the show but those were never revealed. |
| OH my god... I am watching this right now and I am near the point of dropping this show. This new guy, wahtever his name was, is fucking abused to HELL by that girl. How the HELL does he still like her? I'm assuming that he knew her BEFORE this event? He must really like getting his D stomped on then, because the amount of shit this girl throws at the guy is unreal. He cooks a delicious looking meal, he buys her something, he betas out, and she gets to bitch. Holy crap. Add that and the autistic guy and you get a happy and dysfunctional family right there. Bada bing bada boom. And the the way the guy acts, "OMG city is so scary! OMG! she is gonna fall for me!" I am sure its a stage that most people go through, but the combination of these characters just made this cringeworthy to watch. That was a really boring episode. First of all, the repeats were near endless 8 level and I had to skip them. Second, the "metro" background design that they used for monogatari is not a cure-all. It sort of made sense here since these characters are suppose to be song characters, thus wearing all those J-hipster(I don't have a better to describe them) style clothing. But the background and the abstract signs were REALLY boring to look at since there was virtually no dialogue. Its good to make characters stand out to say that they're special, but this kind of scenary just kind of... had a boring feeling to it. No dialogue + the backgrounds = time passing by slowly. Also didn't help that the characters were irritable. |

| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| This is the first episode of a show that I actually bothered to vote 2 before... The problem lies FAR beyond just the characters. It lies with the very approach with the show. |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| As someone with no background knowledge of the series, I'm vaguely reminded of the set-up of Mawaru Penguindrum during some of the more mind tripping scenes of the series. But to add that MP is better than MCA so far. Going to leave the rating open for now, as I hope the series picks up somewhat. Not my highest priority, but I am curious. |
 |
| This is getting much better, did he really die? I feel sad now. . . I feel bad for him too. . . . |
| Kid was damn cool. Now I am interested in this Kagerou Project. Edit: Shinbou should really stop with his head tilting fetish. |

| I'm still a bit confused and can't really see how this will become easier to understand. Although I'm starting to like some of the charas. Aaah, Ginga Densetsu Weed reference :D |
 |
| Mekakucity Actors episode 4: The episode has a split-personality, i.e. Shafted. "We've branched together two plotlines already, so we'll branch out another again" is their thinking. |
 |
| great! an annoying ungrateful loli bitch who is in love with an albino robot and a mashochistic prepubescent and equally annoying dumb pathetic kid... am I supposed to be entertained with this? and the abstract art? that's not unique that's just plain lack of budget and laziness. |

VanishingKira said: Hiyori was already my least favorite character from KagePro and this episode didn't help seeing how annoying she was.Make me almost not cares that she was run over and killed (atleast in the anime,my image of Hiyori in the songs hasn't change,she didn't seem like a total bitch there). This. This exactly. I only watched the music video for Heat Haze Days in preparation for this show... AND SEEING HIYORI HERE MADE ME WANT TO DROP KICK HER. I literally listened to her and kept saying "WHAT A BITCH..." And I knew it was coming with her. And I still didn't care, whereas in the video itself, I was like "Oh... :(" |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
| Well this sure had a total different atmosphere around the episode but it sure was interest, so let's see what's next! |
 |
| Im glad this wuss is dead; he was getting on my nerves "serves you right" - love this quote |
| So wtf is with this episode? Did Hiyori tried to commit suicide every single time or is this some steins;gate shite where she is suppose to die? |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
ihusmal1234 said: My head is just full of "what" right now. I'm not sure what that craziness was but at least the song was good. Haha me too. This is considered one of the trippiest episode I had ever seen. I kept on saying "what" out loud a lot, too. Lol when I first saw Konoha in this episode I immediately said, "Are you a Vocaloid?!" out loud in front of my computer. Lol |
 |
| So uh...contrary to majority, I like it. My favorite part is definitely the beginning though. It's driving me insane though because I can't find the song that plays while Hibiya talks to whatserface scarf girl in the beginning. |
| Interesting episode. Even though I didn't quite get the last sequences. Was that all a dream? Or was the last scene where he got hit by the truck reality? Damn, I'm confused. |
 |
| I wish they would stop putting insert songs in the episodes. You are not cool, Shaft. 2/5 |
 |
JewellTH said: 64SuperNintendo said: I wish they would stop putting insert songs in the episodes. You are not cool, Shaft. 2/5 The song is to heavily show how this is based on a vocaloid series.  Yes, I know that this is based on a Vocaloid series, but I think Vocaloid is dumb. I just started watching this because the premise seemed like it had potential (even though it is so far really not delivering on it). If I wanted to watch music videos, I would watch the actual music videos. The rest of the anime is poorly-made anyway, so this is a minor complaint. |
