By the way, I noticed that Dahara is getting ignored by Koharun as she goes to Valkana instead. I feel that he'll become so angry that Dahara will try to murder Valkana out of spite!
On the other hand, are Nyanta's bullies scared that angering the bees would hurt them other than scaring the shit out of Nyanta? |

Maybe this is meant to poke fun at how incest is frequently portrayed/handled in anime. It's generally not very realistic. If I take Manbe/Pii-Tan seriously, I'd guess that each has had failed relationships in the past, but wanted to feel like they're in a romance with someone that won't let them down. As brother/sister they know each other well, and that creates a certain comfort level. From there, they basically play-act a romance between each other to try to get the feel of a romance. It could be that, as well as a desire to break taboos for its own sake. Good point. I think they're probably building up to something like that.

That totally-in-love-for-reals couple are supposed to be brother and sister?

Those are not bumblebees...they're japanese hornets right? Brr...bad way to go that.
Hehe finally lovepon gets her comeuppance! Even with all these backstories, I can't care for these characters MC most of all.

Dying out of fear does not necessarily have to be because of a heart attack. If you go into a state of shock your arterys towards your limbs thighten. If you remain that way too long necrosis might start and you can get literally poisoned by the remnants of your own cells. Not exactly a fast death, but a death nontheless.

Also, good point mergele, there are certainly a lot of ways a person can die from fright. Severe fear causes the entire body to act up in different ways, but ways that are generally designed to push things to their upper limits. The body was not designed to run at 100% frequently or for an extended period, so putting a person in a place where they're put into a state of absolute terror repeatedly and stressed to that point, something's bound to break. I haven't heard about necrosis resulting from severe panic before, but man that would seriously be a terrible way to go. The "safest" thing I can think is if the fear reaction itself breaks, which it sometimes does, leaving the person apathetic and indifferent to threats. This is relatively safe stress-wise since you don't care enough to get worked up, but having your body's self-defense instinct short-circuit is pretty bad in its own way. |

Well, they just revealed the back stories for four characters. I could sort of understand some of those backstories,but I lost it at the silicon boob monster. I noticed that too and it does seems like they are building up to Dahra attacking Valkana.

I'm hoping we get to see more of those backstories, I was more interested in them than the present day plot.
Really curious how Nyanta's situation ended after the beehive was shot, I'd be surprised if the bullies didn't get attacked as well. |

Or maybe Okada is just fucking with us. I don't know either. Something tells me Lovepon would really get along well with a Dalek.

Lets see here, inhuman horrors that represent one's issues. Definitely getting a Silent Hill vibe from this one, however, the sudden appearance of those giant... things did definitely break the subtlety and pacing of the story.
Still, I will continue watching this, however, I'd say any chances of this being the next Higurashi were out the window a while ago. Now, we as with every work of fiction where mysterious supernatural phenomena happen, just have to figure out, what is causing this time! Is it: demons? aliens? Cthulhu? a curse? a virus? drugs? or is it all in your head? |

Indeed they'd be enough. As I said, even if it was normal bees or wasps, being stuck directly under a nest that'd just been attacked could easily be deadly. At the distance she was at, aggression wouldn't be a big factor. They'd be in a frenzy trying to defend their nest, and she was well within the range where just about any species would treat her as a major threat in such a situation. Asian Giant Hornets would've almost certainly killed her, but even standard wasps wouldn't have that much trouble getting the job done unless she found a way to get out relatively quickly. The venom injected may be a small fraction of the lethal does, but an entire hive furiously stinging her over and over wouldn't have all that much trouble reaching the mark. That's why this is one thing that for me doesn't qualify as "bullying". Bullying is doing something to humiliate, intimidate or injure another person. When you take it to a level where death is a very clear possibility and you still couldn't care less, I'd personally call it attempted murder.
