I loved the entire scene with Sunako & the monk.

Masao gives me the creeps yet annoys me at the same time. I want him gone.

I really like Tohru. I hope he doesn't die. (Though it doesn't look good for him right now D:)

ANYWAY. TOO MANY CHARACTERS. I can barely remember ANYONE'S name.

Lol. I thought maybe it was just me. I only remember like a handful of characters' names so far. The rest are 'Old Woman #1' or 'Girl with the Weird Pigtails' (etc.) to me. XP

So far this anime is like a scale. It's bad, then good, then bad again.This episode had me thinking in a positive way. However, the story seems almost too familiar. Well, I must forward myself to watch more. Looking forward to the next!

OMG, Masao is sooo soo creepy-looking-psycho.
I hope that with Natsuno will be well, i started to liked him, totally.
Sunako looks pretty awesome and is strange and interesting. I really like the way it she's speaking, I don't mean her voice (although it's good) - but her sentences, they've got unique style.

Masao is probably the most hateful character ever created. Really, such a psycho egocentric little bastard. He acts way worse than a 3 year old kid when it comes to jealousy and on top of that, he's ugly as hell. On the other hand I really like Tohru. He seems to be the coolest guy around in that village. At least he accepts everyone as they are - no discrimination for strangers either.

The plot is developing well imo. I finally made up my mind about this anime and I've decided to keep watching since I'm loving it so far.

Sunako's scene was amazing, I loved her conversation with the monk (can't remember the name right now). He seems an interesting character as well.

When they first mentioned Megumi had nothing but insect bites in the first episode I didn't make the connection :( Now it's obvious. And really, there's something obviously wrong about the Kirishiki family. How come people don't notice that? Just look at the women's eyes - creeeepy. Anyway, do they only attack when they're invited? It seems like it. However, how is it possible that the deaths started before they arrived?

Masao is ultra creepy but he's interesting. Least he's a confirmed human. Sunako's creepier. God little kid ghosts scare the hell out of me.

I LIKE GOLDY BOY! I don't want anything to happen to him...

I think I'm starting to get the gist of things. Perhaps all the victims were ppl who unwittingly invited the outsiders to visit them, or who were unfortunate enough to meet them when they were alone and vulnerable. I'm getting used to the pacing and the story seems to gradually be coming along.

So they won't go to your house unless you've invited them? This is so familiar but I forgot the movie where this concept came from. Hmmm

That guy with the backscratcher is funny. XD
I giggled at the last scene when he said he would come by soon.

And DOH. See those bite marks on Nao? I sense vampires. :3

I think vampires need to be invited into the house. Not sure if I'm right.

He's out to get you, Natsuno! Run, run, run for your life~!

there is indeed a pandemic going on, and it seems it's occurring whenever someone from the eastern castle visit and folks.

i wonder if they're the ones inflicting the disease.

Masao is one creepy guy O______O

the Sunako girl is creepy, she look spoiled to be honest :P

that muroi guy is cutting his wrist for some reason?!?!?!

overall amazing stuff.

the scene at the end is scary as hell!!

Chalk up another Masao should die vote. Talk about a creeper. *shivers*

And forget vampires, I think the real worry should be that someone's hair is going to come to life and start eating people. XD

Yeah it looks really stiff...and just weird.

And why is Masao such a creeper? He's definitely got some social issues. Mutou is pretty awesome though, glad he became Natsuno's friend, though I had a really bad feeling that he's going to die soon after inviting that cat hair guy.

Younger Masao is like a metrosexual goblin, damn he's always creeped me out. He is a nice comic relief though. It's just hilarious how Natsuo nonchalantly throws Masao off.

The fuck, Masao dude annoyed the fuck out of me, someone kill him already...

What up with those weird eyes? They look like they lost their eyeball. It's not scary, just disturbing.

Also, Sunako made such a weird sound after she told about Muroi scar.

So another person is dead. I thought Nao case would advance the doctor research a bit but it look like he's still as confused as before...

The guy at the end have such funky hair, I can't help but laugh when I see him xD

So far it's interesting. I find the messy hair to be both a nice change of pace from casts with perfect hair... and incredibly annoying.

I also hate many of the characters so far. I find the main character Natsuno to be obnoxious and painful to watch. I just want to smack him. Masao is of course gross, and the doctor is an idiot. The only characters I somewhat like are the priest, nurse, and tohru.

The premise is neat, but I hope the characters stop being so damned annoying.

Masao reminds us we're in the countryside : you can easily see the result of inbreeding... It's the only explanation for his character, appearance and psychology both.

And what's up with the vampires eyes... I mean go outside like that and people are bound to ask questions... They don't ? Ah right, it's anime logic.

The weird hair continues!

I LOVED the atmosphere of this episode. The vibe was enough to make my skin crawl.

I'm gonna second that there are far too many characters; aside from Toshio, Toru, and Yuuki, I can't keep track of who is who and what the relations between characters are. But I guess at the rate people are dying, that won't be an issue within a few more episodes.
