| Lol, garfield15. I...I don't know. The show tries to do so much in one go, that it's very disengaging. They packed in a lot of episode relevant content into 20ish minutes, and I kind of wish the stuff with the teleporter were done in the first episode. Then the bad comedic elements and sappy power of music elements (even for a musician) are just too heavy for something that doesn't feel as light. The show is really struggling with it's tone for me. It still has great potential, though. |
| pretty ingenious to use music broadcasted out-loud to pass along secret coded messages |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I found this episode a bit boring maybe I was too tired or something like that ; ) I also couldn't follow every aspect of this episode. But nevertheless I will follow the show because I like the setting and the characters |

| Did the Russian guy bite his own tongue of, or was it the pills? |

| I like the concept and I can follow what's going on, except I don't remember a single character's name. Is that bad? And it's not my problem. They barely try to introduce these characters. Okay, I see their background history. That's great and it's emotional with the rain and the deaths and the awfully sad music, but if I don't even know the character's name and recognize that this is so-and-so we're adding depth to, how do I even feel anything? |

| I totally enjoyed the music in the ep ^^ Can anybody tell me the name of the pieces played please + is there a full version of the ending ? |
 |
| Wow subs are out? I wasn't finding any so i gave it some time to check later but it seems i was a little late. Jacut said: hikky said: I found this episode dreadfully unengaging... I understand how you feel, this show seems to be quite complex and the themes, background and characters aren't properly introduced for now, which make it really confusing and difficult to watch. At the same time, I also feel there's something more to it and there will definitely be some good developments, so that's why I'm still watching it. Yeah That's how i see it too. Everything is still confusing and not explained properly but the characters seem interesting the whole set-up seems intriguing and i love the artwork. I have to admit i felt for the old guy. He really loved his music. In the end they never really learned what information he was passing through and who huh? Hope things will get clearer as we go. Yukina playing violin was nice. For some reason i find beautiful girls playing violin, very hot. Axilla said: The super powers put me off. Probably because I wasn't expecting them to be a part of this anime. :/ Decent episode. Truth be told, the way this series is presented, super powers really don't seem to have been all that necessary. They could have made this whole episode exactly the same with out the use of super powers. It makes me wonder what is the reasoning behind them. |

| This show is soo awesome! |

Japanese James Bonds that are the X-Men who are in tumultuous Shanghai speaking crappy Mandarin (but excellent Russian) Lol, that definitely WASN'T excellent Russian. In fact, the main character's seiyu spoke it so badly I couldn't even understand what he was saying half of the time. The violinist, though, spoke almost perfect Russian (though the intonation was really weird, as was his vocabulary). Still, the best Russian I've ever heard in anime, hands down. (well, excluding Origa's songs :D ) Oh, and the ep itself? Beautiful music, both in OP/ED and the ep itself, story's a bit slow, though, especially for a 13-episode anime. |
| it was fun ;) |
| About 3 or 4 languages in this ep, if I'm not mistaken. Nice OP. |

Decent episode, I wasn't terribly interested in it though. |
 |
| It was an interesting episode, however for me the proportions of the characters drive me crazy. When you are zoomed in close to the characters they look normal, however any time you look at something from more then 6ft away they look dreadful. Usually with length of arms or height of surrounding objects. |
 Where there is no imagination there is no horror. || Arthur Conan Doyle || Happy Halloween! |
| Hrmmm . . . This series is kind of missing something, hopefully that will pick up (since that is what I have heard I'll choose to believe it will) |
 |
| Death by cyanide pill...can't win them all, but now I'm curious about her brother. |
 |
| Quite lovely episode in general, quite liked the Violin play! Let's see what happens next though. |
 |
That was AMAZING. No idea why people are being negative lol. |
 |
| Well, the only good part is that dude killing himself to avoid being captured. Everything else is rushed, random flashback there, random flashbacks here. Chill. They have powers but why? |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper.
