Wow that was certainly something... different. I'm hesistant to watch the rest of the season, why does it even need the other 12 episodes? It seems pretty much finished, except for maybe some background info on the 2 creeps and the whole curse thing.

I just can't imagine the plot stretching enough to keep me entertained another 12 episodes, if it were 11 episodes in total (with then 10 left) it might've been better. Anyway I'm very curious what will happen from now one since well, her hair got cut and they seem to be pretty close already.
What kind of foe/enemy CAN show up in a setting like this? Someone who's bald? Most likely it'll be someone with anther Killing Goods (or what was it called) but yeah, how are they supposed to "fight"?... I have absolutely no idea but I am interested :)

i kinda skipped this anime for a while cause i didn't know what to expect...

it's good though, a guy and girl who seem to both be cursed by something find each other and will now be trying to save themselves from whatever's in store. sounds like a btoom and mirai nikki with a little more of a softer touch in romance if anything. not bad but i do hope they make the drama good and entertaining.

"You're the first one to 'kill' me!"

They met. And so it begins. A pretty faithful first episode, I'd say. I quite liked the color they gave to Iwai's eyes. Several unfamiliar names among the voice cast. I thought they did pretty well for this ep, so it's good they got a chance to land roles here. Looking forward to the adaptation of the next chapters.

Whoa, this is creepy. Not oh-I'm-scared creepy, but wtf-are-they-doing creepy. Will watch the next episode to see if I'll come to like it, but I'm very close to dropping it on the spot.

I may be alone here but its not the fetish in and of itself that is the entire problem (although it certainly is weird). What's even more disturbing is the male protagonist doesn't seem to realize that he has a problem, doesn't seem to fully realize that what he is doing is not socially acceptable.

He is detached from reality, more akin to a villain than a protagonist and I think the show has chosen to present him that way for a reason but obviously we will see in the later episodes. Look at the way he interacted with the grandpa: the anger outburst. That, although it could be uninspired directing, is a sign that the MC is a bit unhinged and not a normal male protagonist.
I have a feeling that every character who bears a "killing goods" has some personality or psychology issue. The MC definitely has his hair fetish issue but the girl who wields an injection syringe is far from normal either. So what we have is a bunch of abnormal people, some more psychotic than others, fighting among themselves for a final goal, be it to protect or kill or monitor the long-haired girl. In a sense, it is a bit like Mirai Nikki, and also like Mirai Nikki one of the two protagonists is clearly not normal and often not portrayed as likeable. But it does not stop it from building up to a tense and entertaining manga/anime and get a lot of readers/watchers to like the protagonist at the end.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

reading the plot summary from the anime site i watch anime at, this anime is giving off a very intense similarity to Mirrai Nikki in the sense a young boy is throw into a Survival Game after meeting/interacting with a girl, and must now fight for his life to survive through the dark Path that has now been set before him. episode 2 preview is pointing that its gunna get Bloody in episode 2 with their first encounter of other Killing Goods holders. tho i would assume crime edge has a more Stable romance relationship then Mirrai Nikki did. Hope Crime Edge elaborates on the Story behind this game involving the "Hair Queen".

There is so many thing that I hate on this anime, the style, the way they talk, the progress of the story (don't know why he didn't use his scissors at the beginning and why did the girl lend him her scissors why he has one his hand; the reveal that his ancestor is a killer, doesn't seems appealing to me; the killing goods and the killing game at least seems interesting) and the emotions that each character processes. The thing that I like in this anime is its ost (especially the ending).

Gonna drop it for now but might check later on if the score improves after the anime finish.

The dialogue in this is so full of narm. Or maybe it's the plot. Or both. I'll keep watching in case it gets more interesting.

Whenever she complains about how her hair is uncuttable, I just think about Kara no Kyoukai's Shiki scoffing and using her fingernails to cut it.

Wow, that was a...pretty good first episode. I really liked it. Okay, so maybe the way they randomly met and somehow got so close in a number of days for me is strange, but I guess I'll shrug it off...But, oh my gosh. Kiri-chan's hair, she looked so cute when it was long. But now, now that it is cut short, she doesn't look so good imo. I guess I'll have to tolerate it.

The people with the killing goods? They don't annoy me...I guess. But the guy at the end? Woah guy your so random, will see what happens next.

It bothers me that those are thinning shears, not scissors, and they do not work that way. He'd have to have chopped at that one lock of hair at least 10 times before most of it would cut, and it would not be even.

Otherwise I didn't hate this episode and will continue watching.

Also the MC with a pair of scissors right of the bat.....running seems to be a good idea, Now the question is in what way will he use the scissors.... (Bankai?)
**Unless he is good at spinning and cutting i just see the scissors as a basic weapon/tool.

So, the main character, Kiri Haimura, is a guy who likes cutting hair...
This is further noticed when Kiri not only sniffed, but also touched the main heroine's hair and started blushing and breathing slowly.

The main heroine, Iwai Mushanokouji AKA The Queen Of Hair, likes being touched by the main character. Also, her hair is cursed and cannot be cut.

But all of a sudden, Kiri's scissors, now named Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, can cut Iwai's hair. And they're both happy.

But soon, a killing game has started and they might all die.

The Byouinzaka sisters are mysterious, I like the music, I like the shiny eyes, and that's about it.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

So Kiri ancestor is Grayman?

I kinda knew Kiri scissors to be able to cut her hair.

The whole concept that some people have a hair cut fetish totally bewilders me; perhaps its because I'm the complete opposite; I love super long hair and hate to see it cut. Even setting that aside it just doesn't make much sense and kinda gives off a serial killer-esque vibe (makes me think about an old X-Files episode about a guy who collected hair and fingernail clippings off of dead bodies).

And I suppose the whole show is over now because he cut her hair in the first episode? In the next episode does either our MC lose all interest in her because he's already cut her hair, or does he go even further and insist that he shave her bald?

Goes to show that even for the most ridiculous concepts imaginable, there's an anime out there for it. The guy whose obsessed with haircuts just happens to come across a girl with hair longer than her entire body, whose hair can't be cut, yet he happens to be the one person with magic scissors who can do it? So ridiculous...

Iwai has no security at all. Apparently all entrances to her house are unlocked and easily opened from the outside (including the windows), and killers can freely walk in and out at their leisure. How does she live on her own like this?

Ignoring that detail, I'm interested. Even the main character's hair fetish is feasible, so you can just roll with it.
