I liked how Count D points out that Jason doesn't actually love Eva, but actually feels bad for what happens and his guilt makes him believe that he loves her.

Cool. Very amusing. Eva sure was like that fish. Once she tasted the feeling of being loved, she couldn't get enough of it the same way the fish couldn't get enough of flesh. And Jason, I guess...

I guess you're right.. v.v And btw Leon and Count D are really amazing characters, whose stories I'd like to see more of. :3

The character designs (specially the women) are absolutely gorgeous. The music and the general mood were pretty good too. Not much horror though

This episode broke its own atmosphere with some particularly overdone and distracting sound effects, and wow, that dirty cheesy sax. The 'siren's song' was particularly grating - neither all that haunting, and far too short to be replayed so many times.

The clash between the detective 'reality' side and the supernatural side of these stories has been particularly awkward so far - how are these monstrous murderous creatures explained away?

The mystery wasn't satisfying, the horror was underwhelming, the thematic 'Aesop' was rather unrealised, and the whole thing was far too similar to the first episode, minus the element of surprise.

On the upside, there was gorgeous art here and there, and the work on the mermaid was particularly striking.

hmm the concept for this crime sounds like the natalie wood case. well that was a grusome death. Is the moral here dont be a dick? Also I wonder if eva really did love him. I mean she did kill herself.

A repetitive yet soothing song followed by a naughty bit of sax. It's a heaven~

The biggest moral so far is to always turn on the lights so you wouldn't be tricked into seeing your loved one. Count Dessert reminds me of Michael Jackson in a way xD

Detective and his half-assed instincts lol

I actually accidentally watched this thinking it is episode 1 lol,because of a mistake in downloading i made XD

was really quite good tbh,although the result of him being eaten was predictable. also,i am confused how the fish that happened to eat Eva also happened to have metamorphing powers,then that same fish happened to come across the seller who happened to know the woman's husband >_>.

Another very curious case! Eva turned into a mermaid and ate her lover, so she could stay forever with him.

So how was that a mermaid? All I saw was a big man eating fish. Any way I love the tragic romance in this episode, I guess it was teaching us about two timing people.

Oh Iason! You wanted that fish Eva to eat you because you felt guilty for betraying her and that's why you didn't feed her.

I actually had to sit back and think about this one's message. It was definetely more subtle and more complex than the previous. At first I thought it was about cheating but then realized it was about something else.

It was a very confusing but an interesting episode. Why did the mermaid wish Eva from the start or become any woman she eat?

THE SOUND TRACK IS ALL I HEARED THE ENITRE EPISODE.
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.
RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING.
