There are 5 volumes until now. The names are: Vol. I -in a daze-; Vol.II - a headphone actor-; Vol. III -the children reason-; Vol. IV -the missing children-; and Vol.V -the deceiving-
I havent read the entire Vol. I of the novel, just some chapters and summaries, but it's is almost the same thing as the beginning of the manga, just with Shintaro's and Momo's narration. It's cool read what they are thinking XD
- kanopener's master post about kagerou Project: http://kanopener.tumblr.com/translations
- Renna's translations of vol. II and IV: http://renna-translations.tumblr.com/index
- 6010's translation of vol. III(scroll down): http://diagonal-6010.tumblr.com/post/51152609122/6010s-erh-ehem-translations-lol
- the novels' illustrations you can find on the kagepro's wiki
-unfortunately I havent read the vol.V yet, just some summaries telling what happens, but there are some random translations on tumblr...i shall search for it later...
I hope it helped and sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning.


Wow, thank you! Will check them out now. It's a shame that uni is starting again for me soon, doubt I'll have the time to get on top of all those volumes before the anime finishes, but I'll definitely get them all read eventually! Haha

Yeah, best episode so far, but I still think I enjoy this anime only because I'm a fan of the songs and the manga. Otherwise this would probably hardly catch my interest with this execution. How can I say it.. it needs to get a bit more lively, for now it feels like I'm watching one of those psychological mysteries like Lain and... that's far from my experience with the songs/manga.

That aside, this episode was really far more amusing than the ones preceding it, and I liked especially much the part when the song played until the end of the episode. I don't mind the changes compared to the manga as well.

I actually really enjoyed this episode! Some of the manga readers are saying it was rushed, and it may well be a rushed adaptation, however I haven't read the manga (yet) and I felt the pacing in this episode was fine. Nothing was too hard to comprehend either.

Seeing as how SHAFT are the studio doing this, I was expecting a wacky animation and/or art style, so I actually don't mind it and kinda enjoy it. The red eyes really do POP right out at you with a monochrome colour scheme.


KAGEROU DAYS IS NEXT AND I AM ENTIRELY READY!!!

That plan execution was pretty good, this was much better than the last episode. Didn't even realize they were siblings o.o, liking the characters so far. HanaKana is everywhere now 0_0

I'm sure they'll do a Marry arc. She's a VERY important character to the plot after all.

With Death God Record playing at the end of each ep, getting Ultramarine Rain and Imagination Forest animated is more possible than ever.

These english names hurt
They may just combine Shounen Brave with Kuusou Forest, since it is almost the same story, different perspectives.
Gunjou Rain would be nice since it never got an official PV

Blindfold code was nice~

The ending though- I had to rewatch it to realise what happened... so basically Shintaro probably got shot or something, assuming that the broken monitor was done by gunshot.

They aren't like the Mangekyou Sharingan since the eye abilities are relatively weak when compared to that.
I mean a person with a Mangekyou could easily handle the terrorists, but the Mekaku-Dan had to combine all their eye powers to defeat them.
I guess a better comparison could be a normal sharingan.

So I don't quite understand what happened there at the end... but it was awesome.

The music is definitely adding a great dimension, too.

It's also amazing what simple stories can do. I felt so sad listening to the post-ED sequence this week.

Episode 3 gave me some confidence on episode 4. I've put down my hopes for a moment there after watching episode 1 and 2 but maybe they're just saving their budget up for later episodes(Dem climax) and I'm happy if they did. Now we just have to look forward to Kagerou Days getting animated.

btw act 03 Mekakushi Code was way better than I expected, it's just simply wow

It bugs me that you didn't catch Kido's explanation of everyone's powers...
Kido - Can divert attention within a set distance from herself
Momo - Can draw attention and is able to know where everyone is attending to
Marry - Can freeze a living object in time for a few minutes
Kano - Can alter everyone's perception of him
Seto - Can selectively 'hear' people's thoughts

Hi, I'm a bit confused,

1. Why were they laughing at Momo's brother? What resemblance or was that a joke?

2. What was Marry's role there in that last sequence, her eyes were closed and then opened when it was all over?

1. Because Shintaro is a pathetic human being with no social skills whatsoever. Check out these manga pages, the whole situation is completely understandable there.

2. Mary can freeze people if she wants to, that's her eye ability. Basically, Momo attracted everyone's attention to them so Mary could freeze terrorists and rescue everyone.
