| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- i would say it's not too bad. i didn't plan to watch it cos i think the graphics weren't fantastic XD. i ended up watching due to the plot. it's actually pretty interesting. parts such as seeking the murderer through reading the memories of the victim's memories. i would say it's a series that is worth watching on. at least for now. =p |

| I expected a bit more if I'm honest, but the episode was pretty good. I like the music, too. |

| i enjoyed this more than i thought i would. the concept is quite interesting. very much impressed. |
 |
| It's an interesting moral question anyway... but, I'm wondering what the main conflict of the show is going to be. Wouldn't you think that every case would become pretty easy to solve now? |

Wouldn't you think that every case would become pretty easy to solve now? Well, obviously different scenarios will be employed and the characters will most likely question their values (especially Aoki). And then there's the semi-mysterious director who sleeps with a gun hidden in a book so he can shoot himself in the head at any time. |

Wouldn't you think that every case would become pretty easy to solve now? Well the brain can only be read easily 48 hours after death, so if you have a victim lying in a ditch for longer then that, the case becomes much harder...there's also the question raised before the OP (i believe) of what happens to the 'souls' when a brain is read? Interesting animation style, well i don't hate it, i take it its a carry on from the old manga? |
  Dibs on Ishida! |

Yeah, that's his reason I guess. He's one of the people who know this system best, he knows what would be done to his brain. |

| Interesting show, brain part was kinda weird and sparked my curiosity. |
 |
| That was kinda...awesome. But that Maki guy, he really looks like a woman. I was pretty sure he was... |

I loved it, ranks right up there with Kurenai with the best first ep of the season. the music's great but sometimes inappropriate. I love how we don't see the typical high school protagonist in what is about 90% of all shows airing this season. |
    Sam is my sweet peach |
| I really liked it. I expected more to be honest, but it was still really good. So I'm waiting for the next episode. |
     |
| so weird o_O I liked the animation.. but not so much the idea of peeking into dead ppl's brains... >_> I also think they should've switched the roles of the two main seiyuus... I think NamiDaisuke would've been better as Maki and Seki as the megane guy. I should become a seiyuu casting director, I have much complaints about casting lately xP |
 |
| I expected more. I like the whole brain concept thing and everything, but I hope the cases become more complex and actually difficult to solve. I'm guessing that it will improve as the series progresses though. |

| Would be cool if this anime became reality at some point.. preferably while I'm still alive. Being able to up- and download information from ones brain! I'd be among the first to test and/or buy some kind of PDF interface for my brain! gg, biologic technical research! @Anime: Not very interesting, imo.. but maybe because I'm pretty genre biased. |
     |
| i can already tell this anime is not going to be interesting to me. while the concept is rather interesting it cant really go beyond this episode without being repetitive and far too predictable. the concept of reading the brain like that is not too far fetched. after all, your brain is nothing more than muscle and synapses[sp]. its really a matter of designing a device to capture those impulses. closest thing we got is MRI's and the like but with a few years of tech research we could read the brain externally. the issue is the moral side of it, and that can change with time. |
| The music made me lol, seemed extremely unfitting at times. I really like the concept of the show, and the characters so far. It's too bad it has kind of a low-budget look at feel, but I'm very interested nevertheless. |
| I really enjoyed it. Madhouse did it again. The characters are also pretty interesting. |

| Good first episode and promising show. Still I can't befriend this damn unrealistic zooming of pictures. You often see it in sci-fi and shows how uber technology is but I hate it. Soundtrack was also noticeable. :) |
 |
| Pretty interesting. It was totally different from what I had thought it would be, but it was good, nevertheless, despite the fact that it seemed 'forced' at times. |
| the zooming in was pretty funny. the music upset me because like stated earlier i wanted to lol at times and ended up kinda upset when it took away from the episode (i.e. when they found the dude in the park). i'll keep watching i'm a sucker for a unique plot. |
 |
| While my sky-high expectations for the first episode weren't quite reached, it was still a great first episode. Looking forward to the more complex cases. |
| This anime is pure win! Now, NOW this is what I'm talking about. Finally, an anime that delves deeper into the human mind - even comes in the literal sense. A very promising epic of the season. This should've gotten more attention than that Soul Eater. Well, it's always like that anyways. The real good ones are underrated and those anime that are just stereotypical and pretty shallow are the popular ones. *sigh* |
| sweet plot, the horn music kinda ruined it for me during the mri part lol. also tryin to get over the dude with lipstick, but the plot is super interesting. |
 |
| Found this to be pretty good, this anime has a really interesting story (brains! =P). |
| I was expecting something a little different, but it's still nice to see an original theme. I'll definitely keep watching. |
 |
| Didn't care too much for the art & animation though it was ok I guess. I did like the premise of the show, and they seem to take it in an interesting direction. I hope for a bit more "police work" in the future, but either way, it's a show I'll be watching. |
| well, I'm really interested in which way this will develop ... although the concept itself is promising, I was hoping for something more interesting than 'plugging cables into the brain' seriously ppl, have some imagination >_> what an amazing trap-chan O.o I mean, you can't get more convincing, without dressing the guy in a skirt. all in all, I'm optimistic. funny factoid: this series is a shoujo (or josei, if you will) |
 Beware! For I wield the chair leg of truth! |
| It was an interesting first episode. Animation is slightly below what I expected, I thought that Maki was a girl, and Aoki is not very interesting looking. I hope that some more mind explosive cases happen later on in the series. ...kinda excited to see what this series has to offer. |
 |
| Don't know about this. The concept is interesting, but the mystery this episode was way too obvious. From the second we saw the picture with that other guy i knew it was him and most of the circumstances around that person(being the lover of the girl before and all). Hopefully the next mysteries are better. |
| Read the manga before, but did not complete it due to the incomplete english scanlations (too lazy to read the chinese ones)... But I really enjoyed the series... kinda up my alley! And the animation is more mature, a fresh change from busty school girls or bishies. |
 |
| i just got around to watching this episode, and I found the show and the premise pretty interesting. I'll see how it goes! |
 |
| I began watching this series on veoh but cannot find it anymore, I'd appreciate it if someone can let me know how I can watch this series online subbed in english/spanish please? |
 |
| not a great episode,but still it had its good parts,i remember when i saw a summary of this anime,before it was released,it made me think of Minority Report but it is very different from what i imagined,it actually has some elements that are closer to another movie,the final cut(quite a bad movie imo),but still there are not many detective anime and as i love mystery i will continue watching this anime |
 |
| I would have dropped it after 10 minutes if I didn't know that the anime is based on a manga of one of my favourite mangakas. The brain thingy and the whole plot don't seem too promising, but I expect some nice character developing, that's why I keep watching it for now. |
 |
| I thought Maki was a woman from the picture but I guess I am wrong. Anyway I am sure I want someone scanning my brain after death jeez I want all my secrets to die with me :P Jeez there is other way to find a criminal I don't agree with that method, anyway does that guy always wear sunglasses. For a first episode it was pretty dull I hope they do a better job in the following episode. |
| Quite a straightforward case. It was solved too quickly for my liking. |
| snorefest.. will give it a couple more cases.. |
 |
| Interesting concept. It was kind of obvious who the culprit was the moment they showed that picture with the other man. I hope the next case would be a bit more complex. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The concept for this show is quite interesting and I really like it. However, this particular case was pretty boring. Hopefully they can come up with some more interesting cases. |
 |
| A nice introduction to this show. I love how the Director has a gun and bulletproof vest, obviously because he knows what will happen if he's killed. At least this way he can destroy his brain if needed, and not get killed as easily in his chest for example. xchee said: Interesting concept. It was kind of obvious who the culprit was the moment they showed that picture with the other man. I hope the next case would be a bit more complex. Yeah it kinda was. Glad they were able to see the wife's final words though, she wanted to be with her husband and kids anyway :) |
 |
| It was obvious who the killer was. The anime doesn't look bad, but let's see how the story will develop. |
 |
| I know there's gotta be a newbie so that the rest of the cast can explain things to him, thereby explaining things to the audience, but the way the protagonist reacts to things is ridiculous. He applied for this job and started, knowing exactly what he was going into, supposedly did all the research, and yet throws up at the thought of holding a box that contains a brain? Then gets surprised about searching for the hippocampus for memories? I'm assuming everyone going into this job has got to have some level of professional understanding about the human brain, but it seems this guy has gone in blind. Also, for him to have a moral dilemma right at the critical reveal... I know it's for dramatic effect, but it's rather annoying to see someone who's supposed to be working in the field behave like that. I hope he develops waaaay beyond this because this is going to get really old really fast. ALSO... Did Section 9 (ghost in the shell ref?) not have a lip reader before? How on earth did they conduct their searches before? And why can't audio be retrieved from the brain along with visual? Nitpicking aside, I liked this episode enough to continue with the series. The director reminds me of Johan from Monster at this moment, and it's likely he'll be a favourite. |
| > Super advanced technology that can recreate visual, but not audial memory? Visuals are a lot harder to deal with than audio. They just needed this to get lip reader... > The husband doesn't want to let them recreate the memory for no reason, but only to extend the plot for few minutes > Convenient amnesia which doesn't happen in real life > The culprit decides to kill his lover even knowing that so much time has past? I mean, kill her husband - maybe. Kill himself - possible. But why kill his love interest? No one would do that in that situation. The plot is super bad. |
