TBH since the manga hasn't ended (or atleast from what I know it hasn't), I'm glad they are showing stuff prior to it. This gives more time for the manga to progress. This show might even have another season since they are showing prior stuff that gives em more stuff to work with and more time to reach an ending point.

I hate animes that end but dont really finish cause the manga keeps going. I don't know why it bothers you so much, this is only the first 2 episodes. There could be 2 or more seasons for all we know. It's too early to tell. Guess I need to start reading the manga as well just incase it does drop off on the ending or doesn't go into the manga in depth storyline wise.

:O

That is true.

I don't like that either.
I guess this anime serves as a filler to get more profit for the manga and add some cash in their bank.

I'll probably keep watching this because I like Ga-Rei <_<

After watching the first two episodes, I only reall have one guess on the apparent contradiction of the anime to the manga.
Spoiler :
I think their trying for a different sort of begining to differentiant this anime from others, cause if you looked at the manga, if it was directly moved to the anime, it would be the same as alot of anime, main character has some odd ablilty, mets someone else (usually of opposite sex) with even more odd ability, and the story goes from there. I think their going for a different sort of begining to make it more unquie. Thats my geuss anyway.

Ok, so episode two really surprised me.
Spoiler :
The hell? I've seen 4 characters now, all of whom appear in the manga. I have to wonder what happened to all the people from the 4th division, who apparently got killed in the first episode. I'm curious to see if they play any important role later down the track, seeing as they did have an entire episode dedicated to them (unless of course it all acted as a plot device to introduce Yomi)

Anyway, the more I watch this the more I like it, as it appears to be heading moreso in the direction of the manga than I initially believed.

As awesome as I thought the first 2 episodes were the storyline is jumping all over the place it seems. I wish it would stop and just focus somewhere.

Ep3:
Spoiler :
K so now we've been transfered to the past, apparently we get some storyline between the two sisters (Guess they aren't bilogical sisters). It was a cute episode, thats all there is to it really. The cliffhanger from the second episode is still there. We don't know what happened after the sword slash (THX YA FUGGIN SCRIPTERZ).
If this non linear timeline style continues (jumpin all over the place), I'm gonna end up not watching the rest of this and go straight to the manga :x .

PS.
Spoiler :
WHY THE HELL DID THE PEOPLE IN THE FIRST EPISODE HAVE TO DIE! I would of loves a series over just those guys. The chick with the bike was awesome and the guy with the guns just as awesome.

Alright I wached it. Battlefield is still awsome though.
Spoiler :
Well I liked and it got into a pleasent direction, because I was wondering how the series will look like with every day life episodes. It´s fine for me. They showed more of the characters and how they´re conected.

I bet they keep on showing the past for more episodes. Than they switch back to the end of ep 2. In the end I guess ep 1 & 2 is more: "How it will end", like somehow Gungrave or Berserk. The characters of the first ep will come back. Nobody puts in such nice characters without using them again and one of the posters I saw on a anime news network is clearly focused on those characters with the guy with the 2 pistols in the center/front.

The only thing that disapointed me was: Where is my cliffhanger? I just hoped for something awsome. You know it would be so cool if they would´ve switched back to the end of ep 2 to her looking on her cellphone with this pic as background. That would have been nice! But hey, they gave us a catchy song for the credits. Not bag though.

I´ll keep on watching for sure.

Just finished episode 3. I'm really loving this now, to the point where I almost don't mind that it's not exactly the same as the manga, since this is filling us in with a lot of back detail that the manga didn't cover.

Also, they introduced yet another character prevalent in the manga series. By now I'm pretty sure I know where this story is going and how it's gonna end up, but I'll have to see if the actions from the first episode have any influence over the anime.

P.S. the credits song was really nice, though I have to wonder why we still haven't seen an OP from this yet (I'm going to assume it's because the characters they want ot show in the OP have not yet appeared yet and thus it would spoil the story)

oh good it looks like they are going to mainstream this part of the story throughout the anime. Good cause I was tired of it jumping around.

Episode 4 was hawt.
