Spoiler for very mild spoiler for novel:
Don't worry it's not a spoiler to the plot and it probably won't be in the anime anyway as it was cut in the manga already, Ayatsuji just likes to reveal what a huge amount of reference material he knows |

Episode 1
I really hate that opening song. It's the most narmish song I could possibily think of for a story like that. It's like it's trying to be appropriate but fails spectacularly. As for the episode, it was great. The art and the music really set the tone very well. And that is definitely the creepiest class I have ever seen. I can't wait to find out the mystery but I can only assume at this point that the MC was somehow involved with Misaki's death during his visit there previously when he was a kid. I wonder what that handshake was all about though. Apparently the girl could tell from his handshake that he'd been there previously.

Is it just me or Ali Project doesn't have much versatility? Each of their songs sounds so much alike. I meant no harm by the way. I just want to confirm if my ears needs to be checked. XD
Anyway, episode one was truly captivating. It's been a while since an anime gave me goosebumps. The entire atmosphere in that class is so suffocating and creepy. The music is well done since it really amplifies the fear from the viewers during those really strange moments. Spoiler:
This show is definitely a keeper. I hope they keep it up. |

Chilling doesn't quite fit - it's so much more than that. By all means, everything about it (barring the ED song - though I guess it can't be all dreary all the time, right? ) sets up this really eerie tone that fits so well with the anime on the whole.
Contrary to some, I quite like the OP song - some may see it as narmish, but it, along with the stunning animation work from PA, seems to drag you into the atmosphere of the anime long before it settles in and really starts screwing with your head I was intrigued by this series the moment I saw the summary - and it seems I was right on the money to think that way. Why did Mei say that Koichi Sakakibara's name was associated with death? Were his classmates really so afraid of him when he first entered the school? Just what is with Mei's left eye - why would it be covered up? What was with that 'twitch' from Sakuragi literally after Koichi mentioned Mei? I don't quite follow everything just yet - but maybe that's the point, at the moment. I'd say you're probably right - though if it sells over in Japan...to quote the old phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." |
