| ...Oh well... will be watching it anyway since it's only 4-5 mins per week. Maybe I'll just go to read the manga. |

| I'm so sad lol at the very least it should have been funnier |
| After reading the first 15 chapters of the manga, this is NOT what I was expecting. And it's only 4 minutes on top of that! Character designs are good, but I'm not too keen on the animation. I'll keep watching. Guess I must be a masochist. Sent with Mal Updater |

| It's funny how much hype has built up for this. Especially when everyone already knew it was gonna be 5 minute episodes adapting a trashy manga. They shouldn't have even bothered airing this if it was gonna be censored considering there is nothing to this show other than the gore. Not disappointed at all with this episode since I already knew it wasn't going to be good. I'll keep watching. |
 |
| I'm not familiar with the original story, but deciding to splice this into 4 minute episodes doesn't seem to fit the premise at all. It's a shame, because this seems fairly interesting story on paper. But watching the first episode just feels like I've just watched a trailer for an upcoming horror show. |
| WTH is that??!! the manga is waaaay better -____- |
| Well... Did something happened? 4 minutes? I hope another episodes would be longer... Great art and music but that was too short! I can't give it positive rate... A lot of people waited for this. I'm dissapointed. :) |

| Didn't even realize it was censored. Liked the ED. Will keep watching in hope of wincest cannibalism. |
| Was looking forward to it....got disappointed. 4 min. long, censored, rushed. Dropped. |

I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| What a let down... |
 |
| I waited for this since fall, and I get a 4 minutes episode. I'm pissed it turned out like that, I was expecting so much better. |

| better start reading the manga then. |
 |
| * facepalm * There is an uncensored gorn - DEEN making the adaptation. Seriously, what was the hassle about if they were going to make garbage of it any way. |
| 4 minutes (3 without op and ending) is more than not enough. I'd understood nothing, so got some Pupa manga. It was good I can say without doubt: anime is sh***! |
Haine15 said: The most disappointing thing of 2014 after my sister is unusual . I couldn't understand what's happening around in 3min ??! but that was creepy :| My sister is unusual is great. It doewnr try to pretend its anything more than ecchi. This show however pretends to have a plot. |
| 5 min eps and horror genre, hmm. Interesting. |
 |
| Hmm... I was waiting for so long- now I had to watch it whole :3 I'll be waiting for very next episode :D |
| We're all mad here |
| i can't believe i was actually looking forward to this :( huge disappointment. why censor a 5 minute anime ugh |
| Idk what's going on shayney said: because TV shows are always censoredi can't believe i was actually looking forward to this :( huge disappointment. why censor a 5 minute anime ugh |
 |
| Don't tell me I've waited 2 seasons for that. Once again, DEEN, you betrayed me. Also I laughed pretty hard when Yume turned into a demon thing. Was that supposed to be creepy? |

| We waited THIS long for 4 minutes... I shudder at the thought that they delayed it for -what, 2- 3 months?- a whole season. And it's not like it is a 20 minute long anime episode, it's 4 minutes. No, wait... it's even less than that. Oh my God. Yes, I'm almost fully disappointed by the first episode. They cut out important stuff there. (people who read the manga know which parts I mean) They just showed a glimpse of something, but... it was too quick, way too fast-paced for me to actually enjoy it. The animation could be better and the soundtrack was ok so far, mainly the opening (is it really catchy or is it just me?) Anyway, though it's full of flaws, I'll keep on watching it. I'm just wondering what will they manage to show in 12 episodes of (less than) 4 minutes. |
| “In all things, the heart must take precedence. The heart rules over all things, and all things come from the heart.”  |
| Why everybody was hyping about this. They should have realized that DEEN can't ever make a master piece with a low budget. |
 |
| *sigh* I really hate the studio for making this only a 4-minute show, one minute of which is taken up by OP and ED. I was kinda hoping it would be like micro-fiction, packing a lot of plot into each line of dialogue. So far I haven't been that impressed, though the censorship on the gore is really lame. Very creepy so far, I'll give it that. I'll probably keep watching because even if it ends up sucking, it's less than an hour of my time all told. |
| I knew it was 5 minutes long so I didn"t expect much things to happen in the first episode. But I like the art :) So taking in consideration it's 5 minutes long, I gave it a 5/5. I'll keep following it ! Even if most people seem to dislike it... |
 |
| What the fuck did I just watch? |
 |
| oh man. i was so excited when i heard the manga will turn into an anime because the manga's been on my plan to read list for a while now and a good horror anime would be awesome. but i had a bad feeling when it got postponed and when it was official that it'll be a five minute anime. /oh man/ okay, first of all i didn't expect too much. five minutes per week are just nothing. but this was... i'm disappointed, let's just be honest. they're not even bothering with a nice scenery or anything. sure, it could destroy the mood, but come on, this water color effect looks rather cheap. and then it's censored and the monster looks ridiculous. the only things i liked so far are the character design and the interesting op. but nothing was too outstanding. i'll definitely continue and finish that anime, but atm i don't think it'll be good, unfortunately /sigh |
| People being disappointed about this, is like medieval people being disappointed that the weekly public torturing and execution of prisoners was canceled. Or that they didn't get a good view of the soon-to-be corpse being maimed. |
 |
| Sigh, I really did wonder how they were going to stretch the manga into a one-course anime series. Five minutes... Maybe I overhyped it for myself but I was disappointed. ;__; The first episode didn't do a good job at introducing the characters (in fact, did it even?). And like how everyone else is saying, the animation and backdrop is really ugh. Disappointing, disappointing. Hope the next episodes will be better animated or executed. ;3; C'mon Pupa, I loved you from your trailer and manag <3. |
| wtf did I just watch |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Was that supposed to be scary? For some reason I was laughing....very disappointing. |
| I read the manga after watching this episode, ten chapters of it. I can't fathom why anyone would think this could be any good: the manga is incestuous gore-porn, nothing more. It at least attempts to give it a story and after this, I rather disliked the omission of their father, which explains why they're so close (kinda). Four (technically, three) minutes worth of crap is at least less painful than a full 20+ minutes. I'll just continue watching it, despite knowing it won't get better. |
| I have yet to watch the anime, but I did read a good bit of the manga and I definitely wasn't impressed. I was hoping with the anime they'd try to take a completely different take on the story, but based on what I'm seeing...that isn't the case. Welp, guess I'm not watching it (especially not with the episode length) :/ |
| Just chill out and concentrate... |
