| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This pretty much sums up the episode. XD   Recently, it looks like Kishida Mel's characters are getting abused more and more. |

| I 'r' shocked~, none the less the art is pretty good |

| nice introduction, plot, detail, sound,animation,direction.... perfect 5/5 10/10 |

| I'd say it's like Victorique + Lain + Detective Conan |
notsureifsrs said: I'd say it's like Victorique + Lain + Detective Conan ^ this 100% + sket dance like what Yumekichi said; anyone else getting a DRRR impression from this, maybe its just me >_> I thought the way Narumi narrated the first episode was quite similar to how mikado narrated the first episode in DRRR First impression wise, it's pretty well done, the character intro were done in a decent manner and omgz another anime with Dr. Pepper-ish drink 8D Yondaime = another heiwajima shizuo = Ono Daisuke = win (may or may not play an important part in my earlier impression in relation to DRRR LOL) All in all, looks promising; I hope they don't rush anything (seeing as there is no known info on how many episode this is going to be unless I'm blind) |
| I really want to watch this, but I don't want to be disappointed by another terrible JC Staff light novel adaptation. Decisions...decisions... |
| Ok™ |
notsureifsrs said: I'd say it's like Victorique + Lain + Detective Conan From what i got from the got from the gg realse (which aparently is jsut half of it), totally agree with you. But is still to soon to determine whether it will be as good as any of the previously mention. ^^ Ohh JC Staff.. The art is impressive, like it clearly shows how much effort is going into this but so far I not liking any of the main characters xD As HiyuuT says it also has a DRRR! feeling to it, maybe because the presenting two different sides of the story at the same time and ties between characters on different factions in the story. Yumekichi11 said: According to the following spoiler This I found strange. If I recall correctly in Japan, if a girl prostitute herself, the only person going to jail would be the one acquiring the service. I find it strange in an anime which (so far) selling point is the use rational/intelligence of characters, they never consider calling the police to deal with the guy. Further information could have been squeeze from him later on but by putting himself on that situation he got hurt (could have been worst) and the other girl jumped out of the window (I wonder if it wasn't just suicide and she just got lucky). |

| huh? |
| I have some other interesting points but it might be long since this is a double. About OP,
About the first part, some minor things I will point out,
About Yuuko's room,
About second part,
About the preview,

| Who did J.C. Staff outsource the animation to? Both the art and animation are actually really impressive! |
| Unfortunately, I've only watched half the episode, but a few things, Art looks a lot like Hanasaku Iroha (Narumi almost reminds me of Ko, a bit of Minko in Miku (guessing thats her name)). This makes sense, since the character designs were all done by the same person. Learning things every day. (This is a good thing, since it looks pretty great so far.) Strangely enough, the first 12 minutes really reminded me of some SHAFT, too, especially after having just finished Denpa recently. Quick angle shifts? I don't know, probably me going dumb at 1 AM in the morning. Looking foward to the second half to see how this thing ends. (Yes, gg subs.) Was it just me or was that turning scene when the computers go on really odd to watch? |

Yumekichi11 said: Yes they could call the police, what guarantees that the guy will still be there. Well, i thinking more of like "Hey i think i guy is getting it on with an underage and here... could you please follow up" kinda conversation withe the police and then let them do all the breaking and all that jazz. I agree on the jump, it was out instinct. Still the point im trying to make is that both could have gotten seriously injured, if not worst. Anyways I haven't watched the rest so i really shouldn't jump conclusion just yet, maybe they where looking for something else as well. |

choyos said: NO she jumped out of the window because of perhaps PTSD after she saw that guy being hit by that pedo guy, she panicked at the site of the way he looked with that bloody ashtray.

Giving out a pic of this guy in Tokyo may prove hard to get him. Chikans are easier to get in trains because you have police as soon as the train stops. Not in this situation but yeah I agree with you that sometimes it's better to leave to cops. Yumekichi11 said: Yes they could call the police, what guarantees that the guy will still be there.

| i watched only 5 minutes skipping most of the episode, cant say i find this very interesting... why cant they have some older more mature characters in these sort of anime? why must it always be high school kids for every single anime? why cant they seem to do anything different? where is the originality?!?! |
 |
| It's been a while since an anime has had me this hooked in the first episode. :D |
 |
| I'm about 5 minutes into the episode, and I've seen the glasses guy with the gun for a total of about 3 seconds. I despise him completely already. |
 |
| Very good first episode! This one looks pretty promising. shadesofblack07 said: It's been a while since an anime has had me this hooked in the first episode. :D ^ This |
 |
| really liked the first ep. |
 |
| The moment I saw a kawaii neet girl I was hooked lol. |
| I think I'm hooked too, but I've got a question. What are all those scenes and spoilers that weren't in the 24 minutes of the show I saw? Was this a double episode and the anime providers I use just didn't get the second half? |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Yes |
| Only a light novel could make a synopsis as intriguing as Lain's into something as tedious as this. |
| Hmm hmm~~ Interesting interesting.... the first half bored me. Though it had a few interesting bits here and there. The second part was pretty good. Yuuko (Alice) is very interesting... I am really liking her so far.... I will definitely keep watching, for now. Might have something...might not... too early to tell... |

| It's... okay. By the way, I watched the pre-aired episode that was subbed by gg and they didn't capture the preview. http://imgboot.com/images/zad1111/sp1.jpg was from the preview right? Had a Lain/Gosick/DRRR! feeling. |

RandyW88 said: Is this an hour long show we only got 30 minutes of it, where the other half... It's actually 48 minutes (watched the RAW) don't know why GG decided to split this, it just ruins the continuity. Of course the 1st half is boring, it's Character introductions.. why do people hate character introductions, would it make it more interesting that we jump into the actions with faceless characters instead?

No it's not, this "half" part 1, is actually half of the whole episode, which is 48 minutes. gg decided to split them for unknown reasons. That scene you showed is at the final minutes of the whole episode |

| This is so much better than Hidan no Aria last season, J.C. Staff is back with their regular way of doing good shows like they did with Toaru Majutsu no Index. Still, it lacks a bit of originality: Neet-sama resembles Victorique from Gosick and it is both about detectives. And Alice looks even more like Victorique with those goth clothing on. Also the art is exact the same style as in Toaru Majutsu no Index II, but I don't think that's bad because that was pretty great. Overall a great show and this 50 minute episodes dragged me into the story, maybe other studios should let their anime start this way as a way too to attract more people to watch further. I hope it's gonna be 2 seasons long. Unfortunately episode 2 will air in two weeks so basically this means that this were actually the first 2 episodes. |
| I wasn't going to watch this but it looks interesting so I'll give it a chance. |
| Quite liked the first episode. Alice = almost Victorique, but since I loove Victorique I like Alice too. Not really hooked or anything yet though. Will however continue watching this. first impression + screenshots Also for the people who've only seen half, EveTaku has the whole episode subbed (In one piece) |
| This is pretty interesting and i wonder how the rest of this will turn out. The main character is pretty typical for this kind of anime but i think in this case that is the best for detective work you need someone that doesn't stand out. The girl who called herself a need detective was also pretty interesting tho she needs to come out of that room from time to time staying in there is bad for her health. I also wonder what her electricity bill looks like at the end of the month. The girl from school was pretty forceful and i found it interesting that she knew what that of guy the main character is usually people aren't interested in people who don't stand out. I also like the know what more she would at to the show. And i feel sorry for the girl in the hotel she was helping out solving that case and she ended up half naked on the street which seemed to be very hard on her. Those guys should shame on themselves for making a girl do that kind of thing, and the guy who was taking pictures on the street needs a good beating. |
| Look like it will be interesting, though I can't say too much since it's by J.C. Staff. Just hoping it doesn't turn into shit like Ookami-san or rather, cause this really has potential to be a decent show. Liked the fact that it started with a missing persons (suicide) case, could mean there's some really good cases down the track. |
| I still kinda confuse why Shouko want to become prostitute just to hurt herself.Her parent and friend always expect her to be perfectionist... but does being a prostitute will help her release her from the suffer? Did I miss hear that Shouko's corpse doesn't have the sign Livor mortis when it is found... sigh...i really need a sub for this sort of Anime ,maybe i just read for the discussion in the forum instead of re-watch -.-" |

| Where could I see part 2 of this? |
Courtesy of Paul |
| Right when Alice puts on her lolita clothing, I thought of Sunako from Shiki and Ai from HellGirl - she seems like a combination of both, so I'm liking her so far. Anywho - Interesting first episode - characters seem pretty likeable, none of them seem ridiculously useless(so far). Animation & music are pretty good aswell. Looking forward to see how this show continues. |

| Correct me if I'm wrong... So Shouko committed suicide because of pressures living up to everyone's expectations. She started hurting herself at first by doing prostitution, however I'm confused about how her BF Satoshi plays a role in this. She says "I've been defiled. I defiled myself for him.". It seems Satoshi genuinely loves her, trying to preserve her body with ice and all. I don't know. Any thoughts? |
Ovindel said: Really? That's nice and I did not notice that at all.Also the art is exact the same style as in Toaru Majutsu no Index II, but I don't think that's bad because that was pretty great.

| J.C.Staff does a LOT of butchering with their shows recently, but this one has a lot of potential. So far, this is a VERY GOOD introduction episode. Looking forward to episode two two weeks from now. (This is the pre-airing sadly.) (I've watched the one in animedreaming.tv and looking at the comments here, I think I did miss stuff from the first episode.) |
     |
| It's ok, a good mix of serious and fanservice fluff, the characters are average though. I'll see a few more episodes before I reach a decision to keep watching or not. |

toneytigre said: A lot of times this is done indeed to relieve pressure permanently. When you cannot do anything else but to suicide yourself. Personally I see a pressure problem in Japanese society and I see the escape being rather narrow and hard to escape from. It's a fact that Japanese people have lots more pressure than even New York city workers.So Shouko committed suicide because of pressures living up to everyone's expectations. toneytigre said: I think it's not hurt but she though of that at first maybe in regards to her virginity. IMO sex is more than anything a pressure relief means.She started hurting herself at first by doing prostitution, toneytigre said: however I'm confused about how her BF Satoshi plays a role in this. She says "I've been defiled. I defiled myself for him.". It seems Satoshi genuinely loves her, trying to preserve her body with ice and all. The death medium by ice is more than anything a means to show how cold she was towards him. The preserving body would apply in this case only to a freezer scenario should it involve ice. I think on what she said (I only watched RAW but shall watch again soon with subs) means more than anything that she challenged her BFs patience and in the end it got him depressed (that I proved already). toneytigre said: I got some quite good thoughts and let more discussions stem out.I don't know. Any thoughts? |
