Yuuki Aoi strikes again. Not what I expected at all... Spoiler for ep3:
The very odd feel of this show reminds me not just of the manga, but also of the fact that the director is most famous for shows done in a previous era: Macross 7 and Zeta Gundam.

Only just recently had the time to watch this series. Having a busy school life blows.
I'm not too fond of the character designs. They're certainly unique that's for sure, but I'm having a hard time getting accustomed to them. It's only been 2 eps though so that will probably change. Other than that, everything has been really good so far and they certainly have me hooked and wanting to know what happens next. I'm almost tempted to read the manga because of this, but I don't like reading manga very much and would rather learn the story through the anime. Must refrain, must refrain. Very interesting character personalities as well, especially the doctor and the purple-haired guy. Didn't like that they killed off Megumi so quickly though as Haruka Tomatsu's voice acting is a pleasure to listen to. Haven't seen ep3 yet but the pictures monir posted certainly seem interesting. Guess I should gtfo of this thread before I get spoiled for this ep.

Back on thread topic, FINALLY got around to watching this anime today. I like it a lot. It's... different. (Sorry for the lack of eloquence. It's hard to describe how I feel for this show.) I'm definitely sticking with this one. Edit: I also thought I'd add that I find the OP ong horrendous for some reason. The animation to it is spot on, totally fits the show. But the song is just blah to my ears. My personal opinion. I adore the ED, however. It's lovely and the animation matches it nicely. <3

Because they look innocent and are prob the first to sink a knife in your back.
Loss of innocence seems to be a theme for this title even for the adult characters. I'm really starting to feel sorry for the monk and the doctor. Spoiler for ep.3:
I bet the daughter isn't young either. That sound that she made before the laugh was plain creepy. I like the shading. No one would really want to get to know someone with "hollow" eyes. The shading gives some depth to them. Sunako's eyes are really pretty.

Spoiler for Episode 03:
This is easily the best show of the season in my eyes, that there's nothing that comes close to it. I don't know if i want him to die, though even if that is bound to happen, i'm very much looking forward to his development along the way, because i became very interested with him after this episode.

By the way, isn't Kanemasa just the name of the mansion? The name of the family is Kirishiki.

It's a mystery show... However, the "big mystery" actually isn't all that mysterious, as common sense can easily tell you what's happening; even without having ever taken a glance at the manga.
After speed-reading through all of the existing chapters of the manga last night, however, I'd say it's more of a story about emotions, instincts, human-nature and survival (mostly psychological matters); rather than a mystery thing. I know the creator's aim was mystery, but it's just too subtle. Unless that was intentional.

Talk about let the "wrong" one in... Let's all invite the vamps into our houses as fast as we can!
What type of show is this? For me, not a mystery in the "Higurashi" vein. No, I think it's a stylized, anime version of a Greek tragedy - everyone knows what's happening except the people it's happening to. Heck, it's even in the episode titles. It's all very silly - the grotesquely beautiful character designs, the obvious death flags... There's a bit of parody in this, too.

I don't think the audience knowing what's happening is a negative thing, necessarily. That's the essence of tragedy as a dramatic model in the classical sense. And it doesn't necessarily mean the characters are stupid - they just don't have the big picture view the audience does. I think the parody elements (and I do think they are there) are winks at the audience, not mockery of the characters.

Thanks, that's very interesting! Still, even with all those hints, I don't think I can blame him for not thinking Vampires are the cause. It's pretty much the very last explanation someone with a scientific mind would come up with.
What I don't get, though, is why he gave up on Nao so quickly. I would have liked to know why exactly. I can only assume he performed a blood transfusion or anything else that may have helped off screen, and it didn't work.

Don't assume she was transfused. He would have mentioned it if he did it. Besides, they don't look like they can handle that level of trauma. She would prob have to be transferred to a hospital for that.
