Kaioshin_Sama said: It's amusing to see the different reactions between people that are mainly watching this show for Shaft gimmicks and because they're popular right now and people that are watching this show because they liked the source material. The priorities and appraisals are so different lol. What about those of us who are watching it for the show itself? Is this whole thing going to be episodic? Not that I mind much if it is, but at the current rate it will be a long time before the characters all come together, which can make it hard to appreciate them. oh and...

| But Momo and Shintarou could be related? Since they're both named Kisaragi.. And they were presented one after the other I had this sense.. |

| that ending.. I need the full version omfg |
[right] |
| Ah, so MUCH better than the 1st episode. I think i'm gonna enjoy this anime more than what i expected. And of course, side ponytails <3 |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Really liking it so far but as much as I love SHAFT, I hope they tone it down a bit. The atmosphere feels rather dull since the surroundings are mostly colorless and lifeless. And a little bit less of crazy would be good too ^^, you know like...teddy bears and stuff. Beautiful ED~ |
| I wasn't really impressed by that episode. Felt a bit useless. Even unimpressed by the version I watched, it looked like it was traducted by a 13 years old autist... So we have met another one of these red eyes people. Her power is hellish, to be followed whenever, everywhere :/ The boy wasn't affected by her power, probably because he too have red eyes. Felt a bit confusing that there wasn't any mention on what happened on the first episode. The ending was so underwhelming, I expected some explication... I hope there isn't too much character. After five main characters, it get hard for me to get attached to them. |

| So I guess we get something different each episode... I wasn't blown away by this one... but it certainly wasn't bad at all either. I do like Shinbou's directing style when it's not rom-coms. |

I do like Shinbou's directing style when it's not rom-coms. It's more like they are doing character songs.. since the original source is the song series "The Kagerou Project" songs can be divided into character songs and non-character songs. Character songs such as Jinzou Enemy (First Ep) and Kisaragi Attention (second ep) focus on one-two characters. Non-character songs such as Children Record (One of the most famous KagePro songs) and Mekakushi Code (third episode) will focus more on multiple characters and bring characters together. |
| I quite like the 2nd episode over the first one. Probably there's more movement of the character on the 2nd half of the episode. Which i was so happy to see. Ending song... BEAUTIFUL cant wait for third ep. |
| Wow. Seems I need to do some research into The Kagerou Project, will each episode be about different characters? I didn't feel like the first episode really finished, and the whole idea is a bit confusing, but dat Shaft quality. I actually kind of like how they don't explain everything, makes you want to look into it, adds to the atmosphere and makes you want to rewatch the episodes to gather more detail. Not sure if I'm just biased as hell, don't think I'll be able to hate anything Shaft produces - I just love their approach, really turns just a regular anime into an art form. Though I have the feeling that this'll be a confusing ride without gaining some background information I'm off to find the songs, and start on the Manga before todays episode comes out! Guess this is what I get from going into this without knowing anything but |

| I really don't know why I'm enjoying this so much. I guess just the eyecandy may suffice. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
Rydako said: It gets even better! Yes Yes Definitely! |
| I feel like the minority here, but I actually really like the adaptation... Idk I'm just a big fan of the style it's done in. |

| "what" episode 2 |
| What happened to the guy from episode 1? Is it a new character every episode? |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| She ate her textbook? Lol Nice Teacher. That company name "Nature Enemy Products" seriously...? Fun song when they were running away from the crowd. This is so strange :P The animation is the main reason, I haven't seen many shaft anime, other than this just Arakawa under the Bridge and Nisekoi. |
| Funny start to it, but the rest of episode was ok. First episode was better imo. So much Shaft style this time. |
| 5/5 After Red and Blue, it's time for Orange. Main plot still dark, I am confident, no problem in waiting for clarification! Oh well I'm biased, my judgment is a bit spoiled, the episode was not great, but there was not enough time to describe the character. Narrative that has as its point of contact with the previous one, the only choice directing and scenic. Good designs, animations, ditto. Let's see if you start with the next goats a little more. P.S. I do not know anything else besides what I'm seeing through the anime series. ^ ^ " |
 |
| Really bad. Why do i even bother.. |
 |
| Well this was completely different to episode 1 |
| What a horrible episode, it felt like SHAFT doesn't care about this anime. I remember reading manga and it wasn't so boring and bland like this episode. Complete disappointment :/ |
| Awesome. Love how abstract the animation is. Especially love the part where the girl was crying about not able to win. |
| What the fuck is this anyway. Maybe this show is "style over substance", oh the irony. But I'm not sure, may turn into something? May not? Not a big fan of the art though, very simplistic/abstract... |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| hope every ep isnt gonna be a different story |
| Average episode. I didn't really dislike, nor liked it. The monster's story at the end is awesome though. |

Complete disappointment :/ I didn't read manga, but I don't get these opinions. This series is just different, not much plot but I'm curious what will happen next, I'm totally not bored. It ist 10000000000% better than overhyped ngnl. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Hello to the new character, Kisaragi. I like the symbolism this anime shows. I thought at first when I started watching this and Bakemonogatari, the executions, art and animation were weird and kinda low budget. But now I understand that these shows want to portray something to the audience. |
 |
| This was such a horrible episode and I didn't need to read the manga. It felt like it's dragging on forever. The first episode was so much better. . . |
| Success Acting out , Fail academics in !! A "curse" given as a "gift" !! The most popular idol is in the town !!! Loneliness in the center of attention .. !! The Eyes of Captivation and attractiveness !! Onee-chan meets new boy !! Pretty Great Episode !!! |

| Mekakucity Actors episode 2: All over the place for the sake of being all over the place, i.e. Shafted. Some semblance of what is supposed to be the plot was sighted briefly. |
 |
| SHAFT and their annoying signature head tilts..zzzzz and they're trying way too hard to have a unique way of storytelling but guess what? it sucks!. And Momo's voice is freaking annoying it hurts my ears oh hey she's annoying too it hurts my eyes.. And aside from being confusing this is also boring. Momo doesn't want to get people's attention but Momo is a freaking shotacon so when she encountered a kid who obviously want nothing to do with her she did her best to butt in in his business and out of idiocy she blows her cover and the people around her found out who she really is therefore ran towards her so Momo had to run but being a disgusting shotacon as she is she grabbed the kid's hand and ran away with him and an annoying and unnecessary background song played while they're running to god-knows where.. how fucking dumb was that? |
 |
| Pretty fun episode, but I really wonder how this story is going to be told or where the connection point of this anime will be! Either way let's see what's next! |
 |
| what is the name of the song that shows up while kisaragi is running away from the crowd? |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| And, is there any way to find the piece of music it was played during Momo's nightmare about being a Second-Time-First-Year? |
| God that was painful to watch, I am praying now that the rest of this series isnt like this pile of shit episode. |
| The worst anime I've seen |
| Generic, and the insert song was gay, but it was better than the first episode. That's not saying much though. Also, I find this hilariously ironic.  2/5 |

| Unrelated to the previous episode :/ but it was a good story and nice Lia ED. Nice to hear her outside a Key anime ^_^ |
| Must be tough to be that popular. The girl can't handle it :p. |
| This anime is for a small amount of people who can follow it. You have to pay attention in every small detail, which is hard to do. Re-watching it now is so easy to uderstand it. Finally the group is going to start gathering. I also adore the characteristics of the characters. It is pushed to the corner, it doesn't need to be real, after all it is an anime. |
| This really is starting to remind me of Monogatari series. Poor Idol. |
| Confused though I am as to the overall direction this anime is headed, I enjoyed this episode more than the prior one. I wonder if next episode will introduce someone new or if it will bring together the characters we've already seen. |
