IMO the cool thing about this anime is that it "seems" like a detective fiction, but nothing is what it "seems".

At least this what I expect it to be.

Holy crap when Rena was yelling I got creeped out. When she was looking outside his hous I got even more creeped out. Seem like the positive ratings are being honest. Definitely will continue to watch this (no point in not sinc I have both seasons anyway lol)

off topic a bit but damn. The voice actress that us narrating after the ED is definitely tamura. Love her voice (especially after watching da capo). I can already tell there's a new character coming soon just by noticing that.


Edit: I jus realized that rika had the Same voice so nervemind lol. I wonder why she is the narrator though hmmm

I love it, the main character dares ask "the question" 2 episodes deep, in a mystery series: "Are you lying to me?"
Even better is that it completely backfires.
I have high hopes for this series, great build up so far.

I started watching this because I liked 'Anothe' and 'Shiki' so people said I'd love this. The animation is certainly dated and the 'happy' parts are a bit distracting, but there's certainly suspense and a palpable sense of terror in this episode. I wonder how they'll keep this up for 25 episodes.

After months and months i drop this, Didn't even know it will get intersting! Big mistake when I drop it.
The animation looks bland.Why does the girls height look so small? Don't like that.
This wasboki thing is getting even more mysterious. Wow dangerous!
I like this guy taking clues.
Rena is quite creepy.
Like the op.

Dayum! Boy, do I love a good ol´mystery story!!!

I´m having high hopes for this one, the girls are really creepy. The way the guy died was really disturbing (clawing your throat with you own fingernails, bet he had ´em bitch-long) and the whereabouts of the lady.

This kinda reminds me of good suspense pictures. I don´t really believe Rena is evil, though. Call it a gut instinct.

Apparently, every year during the Cotton Drifting Festival, someone gets murdered and someone disappears.
This year, the victim is Tomitake and his female friend.

This has been happening since the first murder that happened in the dam.
The Curse of Oyashiro and being Spirited Away By Ogres are connected to this.

Last year, Satoshi Houjou was the one who disappeared. I think he's the brother of Satoko.
And he seems to have been friends with Mion and the club before. There's really something up those girls!

Especially Rena. In the end, Rena was eavesdropping on Keiichi's conversation with Ooishi.
Rena gives me the creeps. She adds the suspense and the tension to this.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

I'm going to being the ignorant person and forgot all my years of anime experience so I can say This.

This Anime Is Good,but IT'S NOT NORMAL (in a good way), it's like some so twisted joke is being played here yet it's only the second episode, I just wonder how far down the rabbit hole to go down to get truth.As the plot thickens it becomes more TENSE, but still hides under the Facade of a peaceful anime *presses both hands on hand* It's too Innocent! Tense.

Now time to watch the next episode ~hopefully it doesn't attempt to creep me out. (Probably still will

Holy fuck, things get serious. This show creep me out, I like it :)

I have a feeling that this Oishi will be found into piece in the discharge xD

Rena is such a fucking creepy stalker killer.

I only wonder how Keiichi got to the point that he had to kill Satoko and Mion with a baseball bat in this iteration... It was incredibly brutal and his eyes were crazy.

I don't know how many times I said this but...

I can't believe such a big disappointment this was.

I had so much hopes for this show...

This is NOT horror.

It's a mystery with gore and a mystery that lacks any and every quality of mystery, like making you WONDER!

I love horror and the only thing this show did to me in this 2 episodes was HORRIFY ME WITH ITS BOREDOM.

Such stupid characters, such stupid animation... In the past year I've been watching dozens of horror movies and some of them were pretty average, and even they had me interested because of my hunger for horror. But this did NOTHING for me.

This is incomparable to Another... Another had me interested in 1st minute! I guess that was the first and last horror anime I've ever enjoyed...

Dropped.
