| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The plot line was kind of basic - I'm going to assume they are still setting the stage for the entire series with this episode and keep pushing forward. |

stars4evr09 said: I like this anime so far.. a little confusing but very interesting. Reminds me of Pet shop of Horror. I just hope it ends with more to it then that series! It does seem like petshop of horrors. The mysterious shop owner, with the shop full of smoke, granting your desires. |
 Higurashi: Retroactively asserting why scary and cute sound so similar in Japanese. |
| Liking it so far. XD |
| I like this, semi-serious tone mixed in with great humor :3 |
 |
| Good so far, little bummer the women didn't get it, but there is still a chance. I like it so far |
| My anime list |
| Watanuki is starting to annoy me, the guy bit.ching a lot just do whatever the mistress ask man.. -_- The girl with problem is pretty cute, but too bad she has to end that way.. |
| i like the way this anime interprets the symbolism that comes with it. (black smoke, putrid smell, and restriction of movement is to frequent lying) pretty neat so far. |
| Oh nice episode... Indeed... what's best of this show is the symbolism deep within the actions and feelings and words the characters express... Lies are something not easy to convey with... To live with... Lies can topple you and become a burden.... Just as they were to this girl.... I'm amazed of Yuuko's words... Especially the ones at the end... She really surprises me with such conversations.... And the one about the love interest of Watanuki is interesting too!! I know what happens next 'cause I've read the manga... yet I wanna see it animated :P Signs, Green |

| LOL actually kind of hard to beleive someone can lie that much |

| I'm really enjoying the aura of the characters, the plot, and everything about this anime. It feels like I'm put into a trance when I watch it. (o.o) But still, I'm loving it nonetheless! Looking forward to the next! |
Trojun said: I'm going to assume they are still setting the stage for the entire series with this episode and keep pushing forward. I'm just going to follow suit... though, I liked Watanuki in this episode. And I actually could tell right away that the girl was just a liar. XD I figured she was lying about lying - her habit - and saying she couldn't think of anything. Yay for being right~. Ahem, it was a good episode, though. I can't believe how lies just flowed from her mouth... and I'm actually surprised that Watanuki didn't get angrier at Yuuko, but perhaps that's why I kind of like his character. |
| The dialouge that the Mistress expresses in this show is what I like most about this show, so far. I have always been interested in parralell univereses and the infinite possibilities that they have to offer so what she was saying about Watanuki's future was very eloquent. I am interested in continuing on with this show and have a feeling it's not about to disappoint. (; |
| Quite decent episode, the story of the girl was quite interesting, I'm assuming this will go like every episode another customer or so! Lets see in the next episode! |
 |
| Hi all. I think the episode was a good, if not great. Introduction of Himawari and Doumeki. But I didn't get the "why we need the little finger" part. Can someone explain that to me? |

| Great show so far |

But anyways, as for the episode, I really enjoyed this one. Interesting concept though I'm curious how they're going to keep this up for 24 more episodes. xD |
 |
| Doumeki reminds me of Levi from SnK lol. |
 |
Trojun said: Yes. Interesting, nevertheless. Hope for more character developmentThe plot line was kind of basic. further in the series and some change in that 'basic' plot line ^______^ |
 |
| Everyone in that shop's kind of being a bitch to Watanuki no? I kind of feel sorry for him :/ |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I like what yuuko said about future in the end. It make sense. I've learned few things from yuuko in this episode. |
 |
| Pretty underwhelming so far. The "cute" sidekicks are also getting on my nerves. |
| Well the whole plot is still vague at this point.... |
 |
| Hm. What a nice way of teaching ppl not to lie lol |
| I can't see why Watanuki couldn't just stop that girl. But I kinda guessed from the beginning that she was lying, but when it actually became true, I was surprised. pacuuuuu3 said: LOL actually kind of hard to beleive someone can lie that much Even I was a bit creeped out by how many times she lied in a day. I think it is okay to lie once in a while, but not EVERY once in a while. When she was talking to her acquaintance on the street, I was like, whoa whoa, that's too much, please stop. It is certainly a problem for girls to be single when they are nearing 30's(I appreciate the show pointed this out) but sometimes you just got to stop after a point. Yuuko's actions are debatable. But I kinda think that she didn't point it out because the girl wouldn't accept it easily. After all, if you tell someone they are a liar, they will be more likely to deny it by lying again and say that that is not a reason for her pain. I believe that Shizuka is in love with Watanuki(if you know what I mean). Every time Himawari wants to talk to Watanuki, Shizuka cockblocks him and also he calls him an idiot. Typical tsundere. He also ends up taking all the credit for the goal stopping. Yuuko is quite hot in her revealing outfit. Also, why does Watanuki still work for Yuuko? Is the not seeing spirits a time related thing? Some questions are unanswered. @YusakuGodai Maybe because is a liar?In all seriousness, you make a pinky swear with your little finger don't you? |

 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Perhaps the rhythm a bit too bland has turned off a bit the euphoria that was there after watching the first episode, however the narration from the mysterious tones, makes it pleasant to watch this episode. Watanuki still can not fully emerge as a character compared to Yuuko, but at least you can already see the other characters that were glimpsed in the film. I already like the opening more than last time, perhaps because of the rhythm of the music. |
 |
| This episode really stepped up this anime. Wasn't sure if I liked it yet. I hope to see more of this kind of thing. She needs to do more seducing of him tho :) |
| damn this bitch was capping so hard smoke started coming out of her ass |

| I am liking it so far, I wonder where it will go. |
| check out odd taxi |
| It’s getting more interesting :D Can’t wait for the character development |
| Haha that lying thot got exactly what she deserved. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
Skydis said: This is CLAMP's signature design. You can check their other works :)Is it just me or are the character proportions really weird, they all have super long limbs xxx I really like this episode. Himawari is kind of sussy and even though Watanuki is complaining, he still cooks for Yoko lol |

| It seems like Watanuki has become a chef now. I don’t like how Maru and Moro keep repeating phrases it’s a bit annoying and not really funny. This episode was good, but they didn’t develop the girl who tells lies very well or explore the theme of falsity deeply. Homunculus handles that concept much better. |

| Himawari voice = Morishima-senpai voice 🤣 |
