| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, that certainly didn't disappoint. In fact, they did a pretty good job, even tough the story went wondering for a while. At least it was much better than Kurenai (so far). I didn't like how they changed Juu's design, but Ame's scenes were definitely moe. Now, where's Yukihime. I want my cosplay scene! |

| It didn't disappoint, but wasn't what I was expecting either!!!!!! I thought this was in the school, drama, sci-fi genre, but it turned out to be a murder mystery, and a pretty disturbing one! D: That said, I really loved the atmosphere throughout, in a creeped out way, especially Ame for at least half of it. Considering the inital implied set up, that's definitely one way to get rid of a possible harem situation ^^; |
 |
| Mamoru Kanbe's direction was splendid and the original script by Kure-nai's Kentarō Katayama was great, especially dialogues. On top of this, animation and art direction are top notch (thank you Brains Base), although I don't really like the chara-design. No, really, a good piece of work, mixing elements from Kure-nai, Elfen Lied, Higurashi and the Type Moon universe, I loved it ! |

 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Loved it. Nearly everything about it was good to me. |
| Seems.....quite interesting really. Went into this not really expecting anything and was pleasantly surprised. Went from school, stalker, murder mystery, harem and then Higurashi all in 40 minutes. Looking forward to more. Btw wonder what happened to higurashi girl. |
 |
| i enjoyed it alot. im hoping they make more episodes for it. |
| Haha, very Higurashi like IMO. I love it so much that I already gave the series a ten. |
| i loved the first episode, it was kinda... cute. except for the yangire part, juu and ame's interactions were very sweet <3 |
| Episode was good and freaky. I did not like the whole rape part. |
| Weird stuff. Anyone any idea when the next one's coming out? |
| Well that was really cool. Shame it's such a long wait for the next episode. |
 |
| That was awesome. I loved how unsettling it was! It wasn't what I was expecting at all. |
 |
| What does this have to do with Kurenai...this was good in its own right...except for the design of the main character, but I'm not getting how this is in the same universe. |

Three of the thirteen "Hidden" families were included. Ochibana, Ame's family. Kirishima, Yukihime's (Volume2) family. Endou, Madoka's (Volume2) family. Also, Jyuu's mother is Benika, if you remember who she is. |
IiotokoMay 10, 2009 3:35 PM
| I don't think I even remember there being 13 big families. Jyuu's mother is Benika!? She had a son! Wow. I wish they would have alluded to that. |
noteDhero said: I don't think I even remember there being 13 big families. Jyuu's mother is Benika!? She had a son! Wow. I wish they would have alluded to that. Maybe I shouldn't have calledl them "big". Remember Yuuno? Her family is one of them. You see Benika in volume 2. Kicking her son's ass. |
IiotokoMay 10, 2009 3:40 PM
| Yeah, I remember Yuuno, I thought it was just them and the Kuhoins. As for the 2nd volume, unless you mean the second episode of Kurenai, I don't read manga...or novels. |
noteDhero said: Yeah, I remember Yuuno, I thought it was just them and the Kuhoins. As for the 2nd volume, unless you mean the second episode of Kurenai, I don't read manga...or novels. The Kuhouins is one of the other 3 families that has absolute power in the world, mostly with money and fame. Houzuki and the other 12 families also controls the world, but half of them are either gone because of their bloodline or had given up. All of the families excels physically and mentally compared to normal people, and each of them has their own secret special abilities and supernatural powers. I would assume that they would make another one for volume 2. |
| That right there explained more about the world than all of Kure-nai ever did. So what are the Kuhoin's power? Or do the 3 main families not have powers? |
noteDhero said: That right there explained more about the world than all of Kure-nai ever did. So what are the Kuhoin's power? Or do the 3 main families not have powers? I'm pretty sure they don't. |
| I didn't expect something like this. That was a pretty entertaining watch. Looking forward to more? |

| That was some right SHIT> dam u gotta love girls with hidden eyes, kinda similar to the girl from mysterious girlfriend x. But yea awesome ep.... also next one will most likely come in Fall 2009, if were lucky Summer? |
| I really liked it, since it's pretty obvious the author took A LOT of inspiration from Higurashi. I mean... stalkers, baseball bats, tasers, red-haired girls, blue & white uniforms, mysteries, murders, lol. 07th Expansion anyone? Can't wait for the next episode desu. I just hope in a bit more of originality. |

Iiotoko said: Funny thing is that, the novel came before Higurashi. Hai desu. The light novel of DTNK came before the light novel of Higurashi, but the game of Higurashi came before the light novel of DTNK, so Higurashi was actually created before. Not to mention that the DTNK anime came 3 years after the first Higurashi series desu. So who actually inspired who, kana? Kana? Not that it really matters, since they're both great. |

     |
| Well, this OVA seems like a lot of fun. More so since it's got Hirohashi Ryou voicing our weird girl with bangs. Also, dem crazy girls - can't get enough of 'em. |
| Woah, this was awesome. Didn't expect the twist at the end of Miya being the killer's brother. I wish they'd shown what happened to her after the confrontation... And Ame is awesome :3 |
| I just watched this for the second time and i gotta say i really enjoyed it even more so since the first time i watched it, it was from some crapy fansub group with shit quality. Really wished that this was more of a anime series and not just OVA's but still looking forward to the remaining episodes. |
| Pretty nice, as I came into this not really knowing what it was about. Definitely looking forward to more. |
     |
| I really enjoyed watching this - A LOT. I wasn't expecting much but I was shocked that it was good. Reminds me of Higurashi, lmao XP I can't wait for the next~ |
Animanga Blog: -ALPHANoX- PROJECT Like anime, manga, otome games or other fandom? Then why not join me in -A-P and be one of the co-authors? ;D PM me if interested xDD♥  Love me, Hate me, I don't care as long as you're with me |
| Holy shit. That was pretty good, not really what I expected, but very good. Looking forward to more. |
| Great, entertaining, has yanderes and romance, whats not to like? |
| Enjoyed everything except for the leads character design as somebody mentioned earlier in the topic. Also had a good laugh at the poisoned melon: |
 |
| Just watched this on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Will be looking forward to the next episodes whenever they may show up. |
| this was awesome tho for but i dunno for other but they did pretty good job on it *Thumb up* look for next ep ^^ |
| Sad to admit it, but I have enjoyed this OVA along with Kara no Kyoukai a lot more than most Summer anime series thus far.... |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| Love everything about his OVA so far except for the lead character design. His design is scarily similar to the main lead in Midori no Hibi. |
Nayah said: Love everything about his OVA so far except for the lead character design. His design is scarily similar to the main lead in Midori no Hibi. Huh ? I personally can't understand how your vision works so permit me to ask: Do you mean their personalities & their Harem situation that they are in ? Because other than that, they share nothing similar in design except for the same blond hair... Juu was frigging taller, is like a tank type of fighter unlike the" K.O in 1 hit" MnH main lead; Juu looks more like a model dude than a delinquent while MnH main lead is more manly & delinquent like... <_< |

| Pretty nice start, although it seems episodic, as the first episode ended quite cleanly. |
| I love the music. This was good! |
| This looks extremely promising. If they manage to somehow continue this delving into human insanity and so on, then it will be really good, but i hope it doesn't somehow lose momentum. So fucked up, though. |
| Ame is soo kawaii =P lawl, Great episode, by the end of it, seemed like a 1 episode ova, now wished ep 2 was subbed, or how many eps in total btw? Know that it hasn't been confirmed, but anyone have a clue? The story is pretty interesting, nice concept, haven't watched anything like this in a while. btw...lol @ the taser scene lol |
 |
| Intresting.... I really like this ep... cant w8 for ep.2 |
