Um I just have a strange feeling that Nemuru (I think that's her name) turns into that white haired girl with the sythe somehow.

[vandakiara]

that's probably you and everyone else

but it just seems too obvious... it can't be like that.. right? D:

[Chrono Helix]

I couldn't help but think of Nakameguro from Seitokai no Ichizon whenever I see the main character here. It doesn't help that the collars of guys' uniforms look a lot like sailor uniforms (emphasizing the feminine looking part here)...

That BGM that was being played when Ogasawara was being chased was lovely.

That'd sound too obvious for Ryukishi07.

Are the answer arcs already released?(of the game)

And how long could this series be? I'm guessing 12-13 episodes, don't know how long the game is, so...

This time around there are no question and answer arcs in the typical fashion.
It was all one VN that came out for the PSP with an introductory arc that was skipped in both the anime and the manga as it seems (well the manga condensed it into a ca.5 pages promo) and several branching arcs with different endings.
It's much more like a typical VN than the When they Cry entries.

And yeah it's rumored to be about 12 episodes long if I remember right.
Meaning they either stick to one or two arcs, or they throw everything together in a blender.

Well considering that most of his work's been run through a food processor I wouldn't be surprised if this also gets mangled like it's brethren before it.

Unless of course AIC is different, which can further my opinion that Chiru needs to be done by another studio.

Just watched eps 1...
As many already stated, this feels like an Higurashi...
With Matsuri and God to worship...


I particularly like some of the BGM, and the song Isuzu? sang at the preview for next eps...

Well, I think Okami Kakushi is like a re-imagination of Higurashi.
I personally think that this one is told in the eyes of Satoshi, except through a different character.

Well, it does look more promising than Umineko.. i guess all the other posts had already explained.. i believe there was no english patch for the game..but any luck for the chinese version?? and btw how many episode is this?

[Golden Witch Drugs]

So, finished watching the first episode!

Spoiler for Review:

The first episode was actually very good. I thought the loli art would be a little too much, but I like it! The only thing I don't like is that they put in some 3D animation into the 2D wich made it look a little overdone. Anyways, the first episode covered the first parts of the VN pretty good, but it was very rushed. However, they captured the characters personality very good, wich makes this anime very promising. I have higher expectations for this than for Umineko.

Sad to hear, I always found this way of story telling pretty witty.

Funnily Umineko and Higurashi were so different from each other when it comes to the plot. Perhaps Ryukishi concentrates more on Umineko so he didn't give it all in this case.

[Qilin]

I don't know anything about the source material (which is probably for the better), but I can say that I definitely enjoyed the episode.
It gives off that Higurashi vibe that I enjoyed so much. The en medias res was a nice touch too, I think.

Spoiler for episode 1:

At first, I found Hiroshi's instant popularity amongst his peers forced and hard to believe. Then I figured that that might have been the intention in the first place. With that in mind, everything suddenly changed from grating to creepy.

Now, my main concern is on whether the culprit is purely supernatural or otherwise. What we're shown so far seems to point towards the former, but R07's other works have led me to suspend my judgment on this matter.

Well as far as I know he was hired by Konami to write the VN, don't know if he had such an idea in his head before or if Konami just wanted to jump on the train.
So naturally the story would be a bit less intricate, especially because Umineko was already being written when Ookamikakushi came around.

And well, we still have different arcs this time around, but everything seems a bit less difficult...and the anime is making things even more obvious.

Judging from the setting... Looks like supernatural power will play a large part in Ookamikakushi...

[FlareKnight]

Spoiler for Ep1:

Well overall I liked the first episode. Got into things and introduced quite a few characters. Hiroshi seems like a solid guy and can understand being overwhelmed by his sudden popularity. Isuzu could be described as being overwhelming, but still a likable character. Love the family discussion the three had about her .

Anyways think this will turn out to be a really good series. Everything felt right with the first episode.

The first episode has me hooked into the story.

[Tsuyoshi]

Just finished the first episode and I have to say, this is promising. Very promising. I can't wait to see the next episode, and I'm more exicted than ever to actually get the VN for the PSP. I really liked what I saw Hiroshi seems like a really cool character and the main reason for this, imo, is that he strikes me as a very normal person in a place full of people living in a world set apart from the one he left behind. He's very, very similar to K1 in that respect, which makes me happy because it looks like Ryukishi07's decided to go back to the Higurashi theme. And while I normally detest characters who get attached to the hero in a flash and become all clingy, Izumi didn't really hit me as someone to detest, and when considering the beginning of the ep, I think she's doing it to protect him from something. I can't wait what kind of murders Ryukishi has in store for us.

Yeah, that was a well-done kickoff. Definitely looking forward to more.
