| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode is a trap. A trap I say! They lure you in with the cute girls and the cute animation, but then BAM! I bet episode 2 ends up being a bloody mess >_>; lol. Good episode none-the-less. They did a good job of foreshadowing evil things to come. |
 |
| Seems interesting. |

| I'm kinda nervous watching this now. But well, I can hear Chidori Kaname's voice w/c really freaks me out, when she is angry to Sousuke. I'm also nervous. LOL! |
     |
| This first episode really freaked me out.(though I'm sure, the rest will be worse.) What really threw me out of my seat is the blood and...stuff at the beginning, then pretty flowers at the OP. :D |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| Wow... It started out awesome with the baseball bat... and then there were flowers and a murder and cards and an axe!!! No clue which way this is gonna go!!! But I hope it goes towards bloody murder more than cutesy shoujo =D |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Heh, I'm glad for the evil in this. It would be a pretty comedy drama otherwise. I like the pacing from normal happy and playful to discovering evil. How they keep it fun and lighthearted but don't make you wait more than one episode for the horror stuff I was expecting to happen. And yet the don't give away too much in the first episode, but just enough. Good balance. This show has good balance. And it definitely got better toward the end of the episode. If the whole show was like the beginning I'd be in for a boring ride. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |

| Yeah, this episode is definitely made to deceive you a bit. It kind of implies what's to come, but without knowing anything about this series, it appears to be relatively normal. I think that only makes it darker. |

Good episode none-the-less. They did a good job of foreshadowing evil things to come. This anime is based after a "soft doujin" visual novel, right? The whole murder idea mixed in with cute girl characters seems very interesting to me. And, yes, next episode appears that it'll become a whole bloody mess! :3 |
| Interesting episode with the small village and the murder. |
| There's something so adorable about mass murdering little girls brandishing deadly weapons with a smile. |

| Well first episode is not so great, but the ending was interesting. I heard from my friends that is a bloody fuck later. Lets see how it goes. Silverhammer said: There's something so adorable about mass murdering little girls brandishing deadly weapons with a smile. lol pretty much. |
| So far... I'm not a big fan of the art or the character designs... especially not Rena's, but also not the green-haired girl or the guy. I like how evil their little club is, but Rena's repeating things and the one kid who hates the main character have been getting on my nerves. I'd probably be dropping this except for the bloody horror they keep foreshadowing. That was not what I expected. I expected to like the cuteness and comedy, and watch it in spite of the blood, but apparently my tastes have changed. O_o Mainly in that I can take dark and violent stuff better than before, and my standards for cuteness and comedy have gone up, I think. |
| Just saw the first episode, right after I finished Elfen Lied. From what I hear this is less bloody than Elfen Lied, but just as dark nonetheless. First episodes not nearly as f*cked up as the first ep of EL (but then Elfen Lied started off with a bloodbath that is unparalleled by any). However, the "cute" elements really set off the darker and more disturbing elements in the episode really well (the girls here are so moe that they make Mayu and Nana from EL look like chain-smoking grannies in comparison) |
 |
| Oh I love the opening :) I don't know even why I like it so much. |
 |
| I don't like most of the characters, so i don't mind if they die. I like the mystery aspect, and that will make me continue watching. If it was just another harem, then i probably would have dropped it after the first episode. |
 |
| The beginning was a nice edge but I felt that the episode as trudged on really slowly. I guess they did that on purpose to make it seem like another school life harem. And at least the foreshadowing was good On with episode 2! |
| Wow some of those girls have really annoying voiceovers. Hopefully it gets to the gory parts soon lol. |

| woah....the first scene was scary ^_^ |
 |
| Delicious. I know I'm hooked :3 |
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| Quite interesting episode. Waiting what will happen next. |
| I love this show with a passion. :D |
| MourningFall☆ All problems in life can be solved with Opeth. |
| First episode was pretty good. The atmosphere is amazing. |
 |
| Oh gosh, how evil, the very first ep is disguised as a harem show. x'D Although the beginning kindof gives it away... Before starting this, a friend showed me a video of the famous nail-scene on youtube. How I promised myself I'd never watch this anime, but I couldn't resist. x'D But I do dislike the artstyle... |
 |
| ok this first episode was quite boring actually ~ i immagine that the "doll" is actually a dead person...and i guess that the murderers are the little girls and that this anime will get gorry as hell :-s i just finished death note,and i have really HIGH expectations from this one,i really hope it will be good :) |

| The good reviews prompted me to watch this series. I wanna check it out :) |
 |
I'll be honest. Besides a few creepy moments, this episode bored me. But I know I have a long way to go so I'll keep going. |

| I thought I'd change it up a bit and watch something non shonen/harem/comedy/moe for a change. |
 |
| I bet Rena will find Keiichi's corpse cute XD. |
| weeeelll... when it begun I thought it is a little boring. Just a little. It was fun and nice, but I have expected horror from the very beginning, so I got pissed. And then - BOOM! Yaaaaaaay, at last - murder!!!! ^^ And it now looks veeeeeery interesting for me! |
| hmm..kinda suspicious start |
| Well it started in a shocking way..Then almost the whole episode was so boring,school things, happiness, blah, blah...But, the last minites were like wtf?????A little girl holding an axe, that she happened to have nearby????Looking all innocent and happy but then she gave that deadly laugh,as if she were saying "it's your turn now"...I want more!! |
 |
| lol i loved the funny moments with him "If I have free time" and the arguing at lunch... the junck yard thing was cool... i was laughing so hard when the KCF guy was discovered jus like KFC ahaha XD and the man was so funny when he was like "That incident was horrible..." i wonder what Keiichi was thinking... i would be pretty shocked... and the fast replies like "No" was awesome when he asked what had happen... the game thing was HILARIOUS though!!! all in all i love the anime X3 |

ghyup said: To be honest it was a bit boring at first... Eh... See what happens next. same well im gonna continue and see whats all the BUZZ is about |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Seems normal...for now. Im scared if i keep watching ill poop my pants lol |
| I've heard good things about this anime and it definitely seems interesting from the first episode so I'll keep on watching. |
 |
| Honestly, I feel they could have done better for the first episode. Although it's clear they want to lull you into a false sense of security and make you think the show's a romance/mystery or something like that, they've already kind of spoiled the surprise with the epic beginning. So...because of that, this ep kind of falls flat when everything else after the start seems fairly rote and boring (animation isn't extremely eye-catching, either). Oh well, at least the ending gives you a chill. |
| What a great anime , i like umineko so it got my favorite spot i cant stop watching it |

| Cute and murder does not go well together. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

| Yappari, I shouldn't watch any anime in which most characters are little girls with big eyes. They annoy the hell out of me -_- Waiting for the gory parts... |
