Either way, I laugh and you probably don't. But then again, I've given up on this show being Awesome and will see if it falls into the realm of Good or even Tolerable by the time it finishes. |

Episode three will be key to figuring out if this is a true manga prequel or not. So far it's hard to tell either way. The events aren't quite the same, but close enough that it all depends on if Kagura lives or not.
In a way, I kind of hope it's not a prequel. Knowing what already happened kind of kills the suspense.

As a first time viewer of the series and having never read the manga, my interest is peaked. Having seemingly main characters bite it in a realistic fashion to an unforgiving enemy only makes me appreciate the enemy more and the quality of the story. I'm very much looking forward to where this is going and who the Ministry has left to take this "enemy" out not to mention the other Category A types running around. Will be adding this to my watch list this season.
I was amused BTW that there was a censored and uncensored version of Episode 1. The only changes were just a little more detail to the gore. Maybe more will be shown of Ep 2 as well. |

That's funny. I guess we now have confirmation of Kagura and Nori being among the living and this being a prologue to the manga as the true main cast is now on the website possibly. (I couldn't resist adding that.) We gotta give them props for keeping this tightly under the hood.

Now it would be funny if Kagura and co. are dead, and the site updates again with new characters afterwards... Giving people false hope...

Ah they should have kept the old site. Now new comers won't get to enjoy the WTF as much as we did. But I suppose a few months from now it will cause people to think they are watching the wrong show so it had to be done.
Any way, where's me yuri doujins? |

Well, unlike you guys, I'm pretty sure Nori is dead.
Yomi had blood on her face when she shows herself to Kagura. Kagura kept calling for Nori but Yomi said he's not coming, because he's weak and licks the blood on her cheek. After hearing what Yomi said, Kagura gets angry and asks why? Probably Why did you kill Nori? |

You can get blood on your face from a nonlethal katana wound splatter or from coughing up blood. (One Piece fans can attest to Zoro's bloodletting.) Plus, it wasn't enough to write home about. She prob nicked the guy before he escaped. She's trying to make Kagura suffer before she kills her so telling her that Nori is dead would do it. Normally you wipe the blood off your face before engaging a second person which shows you that Yomi was either in a rush or being very careless or both. Prob in a rush as Nori was prob going to get reinforcements.
Licking blood off your face is purely for intimidation purposes. Actually she had to locally kill Nori's ferret on Kagura's shoulder which also proves that Nori and the main ferret are still alive.

Yeah, she went after bf first because she knew that he prob wouldn't kill her. Also she could taunt Kagura about his death before killing her.
She was in a rush if she didn't have time to wipe the blood off her cheek. The MOE force was still alive on the surface and prob wiped out the zombies. They would have been going down the tunnel pretty soon. Also if Nori was still able to function, he would have found them in no time. Hence, possibly why the ferret was killed first. If Nori was dead, then the ferret wouldn't exist. If Nori can't function, then no need to knock off the ferret first. Plus, she could have also taken Kagura's head from behind and be done with it. Now that was just plain stupid. She wasn't thinking clearly and wanted a duel to prove superiority. Kagura gave her a lesson and prob would have wiped the floor with her if she had a ga-rei of her own.

Well, I, on the other hand, expect to see some sort of plot development. Anime in general is quite keen to letting main characters already. Having a series where the only thing you see is (supposedly) main characters dying does not sound like a good plot to me. OTOH, I have a hunch about a way to make it like that and have a good story (a string of constant revengeful murders, slowly revealing the murderer's grudge along the way--I'm sure I've seen it done already), but the problem is that you can't keep it up for 12/24 episodes. At some point or the other the series will have to change, and the difficult thing will be to make that sudden chance have some sort of sense. And, of course, keeping everyone hooked up for it.

Well Yomi is shown early in her killing spree apparently (4 direct kills so far if you assume Tooru is dead). We definitely need more of her back story and butterfly boy's back story.
Apparently the ones dying so far weren't the real main characters but supporting characters. The real main characters are Yomi, Kagura and Nori if this line of thought is supported by ep. 3. Butterfly boy (Kazuhiro) is a very important supporting character. Either way, this is fun. The only other title I have to think this much about is Chaos;HEAd. This isn't that bad compared to that title.
