| HAAHA... They 'tarantinoed' the first episode! I love it! The monster was kind of rediculous, and the voice i wasnt too fond of but i like the concept so far. oh and leave it for the faggot guy to try to "STOP THE VIOLENCE!!" good god i really wish they could put a plug to these worthless character types. In the end they always end up fighting anyway. |

  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| I've never minded these character types myself. Anyway, wow, I knew it was going to be good, but damn. This is gonna be awesome. Too bad it's so late coming for me. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| I'm probably the last person on earth to start watching this series. But so what? I enjoyed the first episode, despite the weirdness & that guy getting in the way. I have a feeling I may not like him in the future. |
 |
| I liked this episode. It was very cool. @DonKangolJones: I just watched this episode today. So you are not, I am. |
| LOL just watched the first episode in english for fun... no one can replace kugimiya rie, its so funny listening to english |
     |
| so yuji is a zomibie. lol the animation wasn't really what i was expecting. and i didn't really like the ed song. but i like where this is going so far. |
| It was okay but a little confusing.. |
| Little bit confused about everything that's going on, but that'll probably change in 2 or 3 episodes. lol....yuji's a zombie. |
| Seems interesting...I'm kinda getting a Soul Eater vibe from this series and that's a good thing. |
     |
| wow this anime seems pretty good i hope it is.. |
 |
| Good series, but a little confusing. |
| I hope that dumbass doesn't turn out like Shirou Emiya from Fate/Stay night. |
| woah..... that was ... kinda scary at some parts o.O it could be just because its 2 am and i have no lights on but really wow. definitely going to continue this anime |

 |
| I love this episode! when I saw this episode, I already got addicted to this anime :) |
| Amazing OP & ED, some good action and looks like a promising story. I'm loving this already. Reminds me of Pandora Hearts, with all the evil dolls and alternate worlds and stuff. |
 |
| he died |
| really cool series. I like Shana's character so far and the opening songs awesome. the plot's a bit weird but I like that way. x3 |
 |
| Weird episode so far. But it will probably become clear in the next couple of episodes. |
| What can i say? Im confused. |
| weird episode......<spoiler> ur already dead and u don't even know it...... </spoiler> but i love weirdness ............ :D |
 |
| Man this was a pretty nice way to start it off. Loved the animation, Shana is cute indeed and the story draws you in nicely. |
 |
| It was average. The character designs are kinda childish. That guy certainly didn't look like a high school student. Maybe because he just enrolled. Anyway, nothing here that said, "You gotta watch the next episode". For some reason, the XviD quality of [Eclipse] release also was mediocre at best. Although I don't really care about this aspect as much but I guess I noticed it too much because everything else was average. The animation too was normal. Still I'll give it a couple of episodes to pick up and sink in because I liked the concept of replacements. |
 |
| Okay, so I purchased all 4 DVDs today and watched the first episode. For an anime rookie as myself, "experienced" with lightweight anime about nothing, this one was like a... Don't know, electric shock, or something like that. Main character turns out to be dead, the whole world is in danger because some spirit-eating monsters are on the loose, and they're being beaten by an unnamed girl, slashing them with a sword. Later, that girl, Hirai, who in my early opinion was going to be one of the main characters, gets her spirit damaged and becomes a Torch, only to completely disappear later on. Seeing Yuuji's efforts to prevent her from "dying out" made me think that it may turn out that he possesses powers that give him ability to "re-lit" any Torch. Sadly, I was mistaken. Will continue watching - I'm really curious how it all is going to end. |

| Interesting... Seems like a very different concept, somehow, even though I've seen other anime with "living dead" people. Wonder when Yuuji actually died then? I also liked the OP and ED... :> The OP more than the ED, but they're both good either way! |
| Woah. that baby doll thing was pretty ugly. Looked like a baby form of the joker without the make up. I swear I thought they were gonna pull my leg and say that Hirai was actually Shana but it seems they are two different people. decent opening for an anime rated fairly high. Looking forward for next. |
  |
| xDD I just started this anime today woot 2011! x.x but anyways looks like it's going to be a really good anime so far, but I found it a little tad bit hard to follow. x] |

| Crazy start to a series and i love it! |
| A good start. I want to get caught up before the third season begins in October. Of course I'd watch it just for Kugimaya Rie..... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Hmmm... I'm rewatching this show and realize that the first episode is really stupid. They leave the impression as if Hirai likes Yuuji, and Yuuji protecting that rinne made also no sense. But hey, they have to do something to make a story. It was funny though that Shana said her first "Urusai, urusai, urusai!" to Yuuji while he was cut in two. I really did forgot about everything. |
| Finally got off my lazy ass and started watching this. Loving it so far! Shana looks really cool when she's not talking.. :P |
| It was okay. The enemies are quite strange, but the songs were pretty cool. Not another cry baby MC... |
| This episode was more weird than cool. Not really sure on what happened but hoping there is a good dead people parallel world story going on. |
 |
| lol at unfitting art style |
| Last? Naw not really, but I think its funny that this discussion started like 4 years ago. On another note, WHOA. My brain is full of f*** after that episode. |
| So we have a massive angry baby and a talking ball of heads who eat souls. And the main character, who has those stupid Clannady eyes I hate, was broken in two because he's a zombie? This show better live up to the credit it has cause I'm not convinced so far... |
| "We're nothing more than fools and whores with sad highs" |
| nice 1st episode |
 |
| I'm almost confused. I hope they will explain why Sakai is a Mistes. |

| As someone who had never of it before watching it, I don't know what the hell I watched. I wonder it will go, but for now, I'm just confused. Also, the MC look a bit boring, I hope something will change my mind. |

| People recommended this show because it has a small red haired tsun-tsun girl in it. Hopefully it's a good show and will it clear things up, because for now it's quite confusing. |
| dont know what to think about this show, it was okey, but its fail in getting me exited |
| Nice episode! ;) |
