AmberFebruary said: Because A) He's a freaking actor. B) It's likely either him or the woman. And C) He looks like Ladd Russo from Baccano with his white suit and blonde hair. XDhow come everytime i look at the actor it gives me the vibes that his the culprit. AmberFebruary said: I just went and rewatched that scene. 5 people were in when they lowered the boat, but when the wave came upon them there were 6 heads like you said. Studio fail? o.Othat's what i saw first, but when i watched again and slow mo the part (it's like only a second so you have to pause) when their lifeboat will be struck by the wave, i saw six heads, but the other scenes showed only 5 of them in the boat, that's why i draw back that theory but i'm glad someone here noticed it, maybe the six heads i saw is because of the fucking low quality vid rip from CR, i can't wait for Victorique's 720p. |

| Did anyone else notice that the first guy who tried to run out of the room, who got shot in the head; there was no blood on the floor right? Did he really die? |
| Wow! I'm loving this show. I liked the mystery in it, and Victorique is even more adorable this time around. I love her sarcastic laugh ^^ The ED song is win. I will definitely stick around for more. This will probably be my favorite this season if this keeps it up. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

While re-watching this scene I did notice when he got shot in the head he landed with his arms out, but when they showed him again his arms were to his sides. Another studio fail? o.ODid anyone else notice that the first guy who tried to run out of the room, who got shot in the head; there was no blood on the floor right? Did he really die? Also, the blood was underneath his head and not running down his face or anything like that. I can only guess that spear-like thing went through his whole head to cause that, but still. To simply answer the question: I'm pretty sure he did die. |
|
| Ok...this is the Yakumo of the season... |
| I think the woman is the culprit. She stayed behind when she was the only one that witness Victorique stepping on a trap like she expected it would happen. She also complimented Kujo on saving Victorique maybe because it reminded her of someone saving her back then when she was a kid on the boat. |
  |
| An entertaining episode. I find it funny when Victorique busts out a pipe but doesn't actually do anything with it. |
| the pacing is really fast well ep was nice but after watching over 600 DC ep i'm not really impressed with the detective/mystery part... |
 |
| "Ha ha ha ha ha ha" LOL Victorique. I think it's pretty obvious that the girl is one of the people who survived from 10 years ago. |
| Ohh, this episode was really good! I wonder who´s the hunter dog.. :o |
| This is definetely getting more interesting! I'm 100% sure that Kujo is alive but what I want to know is how he managed to survive. |
| Awesome second episode, it was way better than the first one. The setting of a hares hunt is something I'd like to see more often. Btw my bet is that the woman is the culprit. |
| Victorique "cute" moments ep1: rolling on floor (twice) ep2: wohohoho laugh (twice) moe. just MOE. oh well... i also think Julie is the culprit... first time she appeared i fin her suspicious already... she looks like one of those kids 10 years ago... and she looks like the fortune teller's granddaughter... though Maurice himself is very suspicious... if he knew about the Queen Berry incident, then what's his business in this 'reenactment' one decade later? |
 |
| First of all, I just love the way Victorique is laughing - I just couldn't help, but smile. The whole episode reminded me of two visual novels: Killer Queen (battle royale) and the first chapter of Umineko. But so far it really does everything correctly - no boredom, no major mistakes that would help you solve the intrigue (after all it's only the second episode, what would be the point in making everything obvious now, it's a damn detective story), everything is fine thus far and that really makes me glad that I've picked up this series. |EDIT| By the way, if Julie proves to be "the one", I will lower the score by one. That would be just too transparent. That's unlikely to happen, though, I believe that we'll see many a plot twist in this show. |

| "Children killing each other." It really reminded me of Monster. That Julie is one of those children 10 yrs ago so chances are high that she's the culprit. I hope this shows will pull a lot of twists. Also, is it me or just the events are happening too fast? Anyway, I'm not complaining though. And Victorique's laugh is just priceless :D |

| Very good second episode and loads better than the first. Kujo, while a tiny bit annoying, complements Victorique very nicely. And that laugh is terrific. |
 |
| OMG her fake laugh is so cute! |

| Really good episode. Reminds me of Umineko somehow, minus all the magic and general crazyness. |

KFC said: This episode reminds me of a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie - "Ten Little Niggers". I thought the exact same thing! xD Great episode, I have big hopes for this show ^^ |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| The woman is the culprit. I never read the light novel but I am 100% positive she is the culprit. 1: Shes the one who always finds something wrong. 2: She said the door was locked but when someone else tried it the door opened. 3: She warned people about the boat. Afterwords walking away with a "I told you" 4: She never reacts to anything even if someone dies. 5: Every single line she says is suspicious. 6: In the flashback there was her clear lookalike. Seriously, if it isn't her than I will be very surprised. The actor may be in on it as well as he also has a lookalike in the flashback. I don't think the mysteries in the show are going to be very difficult. Hell when compared to Umineko, mystery like this is cupcakes. |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| Can them call her "ve-ro-ni-que" and not "ve-ro-ni-ca"? |
| I disliked it. Main characters decide randomly on taking that invitation, don't tell anyone (I guess?). They're let in despite the invitation was written for one person only. Nobody at the dinner says anything about 1) their behavior, 2) their age. Then there's one person extra but nobody else says anything. Victorique's revelations were obvious. Maybe the mystery will buff up in next episodes... I hope at least the mystery will not disappoint... Kujo is seriously annoying. What was that speech about Victorique being a girl and therefore weak? He's the one who's been screaming his head off every few seconds. Oh come on. :/ I watched the entire episode with u_u face. |
| "Have a roll, quibbler." I don't understand all the dislike of Kujo. Sure, he's a bit generic, but I think that makes him a good straight man for Victorique. Victorique herself is just plain awesome, she's made me laugh more than once in both episodes so far. As has already been pointed out the mysteries are pretty weak but I like the art and the series has a neat atmosphere even if it's not necessarily breaking new ground. |
| This one is all in for the win. I love the Characters, art, and writing. I really like the cliff hanger endings. So far though it has been a bit predictable though. Let's wait and see how it progresses. |

kleeny said: Can them call her "ve-ro-ni-que" and not "ve-ro-ni-ca"? I am pretty sure they say Bi-Ku-To-Ri-Ka (Victorique). Her name isn't Veronica... |
| Yeah this reminds me of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians" it would have been cool if it was more like it thgough. |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
| Great episode as always... wait Orochi, it just started, right. Loved Victorika's Yeah, i know it's wrong, but it's sounds like that to me. Their fault for saying "ka" at the end of her name. laugh, story's development is to my liking and... overally it was great what to say. ED. <3 |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Her laughter has to be the funniest thing i've watched in the whole episode. It was so funny. |
| With a loli and a weak male lead, I couldn't take this anime seriously. The predictable plot/mystery isn't helping either. |
| I bet the old dude gets shot. Maurice is a freaking nutjob |
| good job kujo xD thats all victoriques emotionless laugh was win xD |
     ~Nyaaa~   |
| Her laugh is too epic. Good episode, but isn't the plot going too fast!? |
     |
| I hate cliffhangers. Kujo cannot die though he is one of the main character per se. They eliminated half of the people on board, greatly reducing the number of possible suspects. Hmmm... maybe they just want start the story with something simple. I also think the woman is also the culprit. I can sense her being concerned about the kids. |
| this episode wasn't that good imo but her laugh was the highlight of the ep ;D |
| I had wondered why the directing for this series was so awful, but then I saw it was done by the same guy who directed Heroman. When you combine that with the terrible writing (particularly when it comes to the characters whose motivations are bad even by anime standards) you have the biggest bust of the season. |
| Good episode.... I'm finding Kujo very annoying though. And the old man is a big suspect. |
| Umineko anyone? |
  |
| The ED is amazing... 433 play count on iTunes wtf. |

| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

Maybe the mystery will buff up in next episodes... I hope at least the mystery will not disappoint... I assume Victorique took the invitation because she thought/knew there was more to the mystery. As for why they were let in, I think it was likely because they were what people considered to be the "hares," which is why no one said anything. And I can only guess that no one else noticed the extra person; after all, they were all too busy freaking out over being drugged and realizing they were actually the hares. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from. And the mysteries definitely were obvious. otakuthon49 said: I don't know for sure, but I think this show might be about a series of mysteries and not just this one about Roxanne, the maid, the ghost ship, etc. Likely it will go into another arc after this one is done.Good episode, but isn't the plot going too fast!? Teufel said: As our male protagonist he is kind of pathetic, which is why people dislike him. I don't hate him, but I really do think they could have given us a more interesting lead to go along with Victorique. Then again, if the male lead were better Victorique might not shine as much.I don't understand all the dislike of Kujo. Sure, he's a bit generic, but I think that makes him a good straight man for Victorique. |

I don't think the mysteries in the show are going to be very difficult. Hell when compared to Umineko, mystery like this is cupcakes. They both could be in on it, but I think the woman is just playing along. Notice how she looks protective of everybody. It's like she's warning them. I think the real culprit is the actor. The woman is probably out for revenge. Maybe he was the true killer from the past and she holds a personal grudge against him. But as far as i'm concerned, this is becoming quite interesting. The mysteries might not be as difficult, but i'm looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. |
