Really helped more draw together the sequel of events too, though did love the somewhat achronological storytelling.This was a pretty good recap episode. They go over Kyogokudou's hypothesis of the Toorimono in a bit more detail and managed to make it a more unifying theme... |

| This helped alot as there was a huge gap between episode 12 and 13. grapeofdeath said: +1.Whenever they bring the book thing it confuses me....it's hard to know if Kubo is writing just as abstractly as Sekiguchi. |

And this sister of Kyougokudou, Atsuko, seems like an extremely interesting character, it's a shame we didn't get to see more of her in the main anime. Anyway, great watch, I hope we'll have more stuff to watch from the staff of Mouyou no Hako and Aoi Bungaku's Hachire Melos soon, especially Ryousuke Nakamura. |

| Really liked this recap episode, a little bit brought things together for me for a better understanding of the series. Also I loved the ending scene when Atsuko drew why did she write articles. I also wanted her some more role in the story and poor thing she hasn't shown up much~ |

| This recap helped look at things from other perspectives. What a strange case. I feel like reading the novel now. |

| The artwork improves but the story/presentation was pretty mediocre |

| Nice little wrap-up of the main show. Wish I'd seen more of her. |

grapeofdeath said: Contrary to you, I actually really liked that. It was fun watching her interacts with her brother.The only thing I didn't really like was the portrayal of Atsuko. The CLAMP version of her is just a bit too cutesy. She's supposed to be a bit more of a rough around the edges tomboy, but I guess it can't be helped. |

| Dismemberment case in Atsuko's perception! The arakawa dismemberment case incident involving the wife killing her husband was pretty gruesome, the way it was told. Killing your violent husband because you're tired of living with him, as he spends all your money, was pretty hectic. Leave the bastard, instead of killing him like a butchered animal :-D Anyways, this special sort of filled the missing blanks of the show. Like understanding the psyche of the perpetrator, the darkness and motive. The end scene was pretty much Melodious. The series needs proper attention, not missing one aspect of the dialogue. Then you'll get how simple it is. Don't expect action or anything fancy. |

| Ah, this explains why there were these dream scenes of Sekiguchi as Kubo during the first half of the show. It was a brilliant way to confuse the viewer. It made me think of Sekiguchi as the culprit back then. It also means that Sekiguchi is susceptible to Mouryou. Does he become a villain in future novels? That monologue, in the end, is kinda relatable. As someone deeply interested in dark and disturbing stuff and susceptible to Mouryou, it's only a matter of time before I encounter a Toorimono. I constantly struggle against my inner demons to avoid committing a crime. Haha Interesting way to recap and further explain the figure of speech concept of Mouryou. I thought they would be battling demons and possessed people when I watched the series. |
