I thought this anime was going to be a light mystery anime with some blood thrown around, but after the first half of episode 1, it already feels heavy. There was a dread and horror at what is happening and perhaps what will happen. This isn't a light story, the elements in here are heavy, the themes humbling, and visuals disturbing.

I like it, I like the characters, i like the setting and atmosphere.

Yeah, it's hot stuff. I've not played the game, but I'd be willing to bet I'd be glued to it pretty hard as fast as some of the arcs progress...especially after the very first arc has you going WTF AGGRO RESET.

Watching episode 7 right now and after ep6 things have taken a very interesting route.At last,all these different realities fro the 1st season get into an order.Can't wait for Ayu to fansub episode 8!!
And something that I found out:Hanjyuu's voice actress is the same one who played Ayu in Kanon 2006.There's no way I can forget that sweet voice!!

So, episode 26 left off with somewhat of a "good end" and it would've been okay, except for the ominous omen with Rika. It could've been left there, but then you realize that there's a season 2 and you think, OH SHIT! what's going to happen now? and then you watch the first episode of season 2 and you realize, fuck! that wasn't a "good end" at all.

Also, having handled large blades the size Rena's blade, I can tell you that striking downwards at that angle with any amount of force is going to break bones and tear skin. Even the blunt side would've cause mass brain damage and hemorrhaging. That was a surreal moment for me. For such a gory arc, I half expected Shion's brains to be scattered all over the floor. I wanted to puke.

It's too bad for you Keiichi, and you Rika. Just when things were beginning to make sense, just when you could start changing things around, the story ends.

The uguu power is absolute!!

Today I watched ep8(couldn't resist waiting and I downloaded it from Shinsen Subs) and it seems like ep9 will have interesting stuff.Let's see what Keiichi has in his mind...

Episode 10 is out and subbed. Keiichi keeps showing that he has guts and brains, he even threatened some very powerful people. The village escalation movement is getting bigger and powerful pieces are moving around the board to make things happen for Satoko.

It's too sad though. They're all going to die anyway. This can't be a "good end" arc. We still have 14 more episodes. Something is going to fuck this arc up. They're going to die. Rika is going to die. Rika has to die, if not in two days than shortly afterwards. You can't spread this arc's material over 14 more episodes.

It's too sad. This will be a bad end.

I also believe that this will be a bad end since we still have one main arc left.Based on AniDB:
The anime will consist of the last two solution arcs "Minagoroshi-hen (Massacre Chapter)" and "Matsuribayashi-hen (Festival Accompanying Chapter)".
The Kai series will also consist of an anime exclusive story arc: "Yakusamashi-hen (Another Increase Chapter)".

We're still in the Massacre chapter...
