@ Kirroha: Thank you for posting the character relationship chart in a spoiler. Mayhaps your analysis of the chart should also be in the spoiler, as well? Out of consideration for those of us who don't want to know about the relationships until they're revealed in the show.

A translation of the chart with some plus info from the official site, and some speculation:
Spoiler for relationship chart:
Random thing I'm wondering about: Kurou introduced himself as the follower of the 7th King. Weissman is the 1st King, Kokujouji is the 2nd, Mikoto the 3rd and Reishi the 4th... so where's the 5th and the 6th? And does the Kings' combined power form a pretty, pretty rainbow? That was pretty much a given from day 1... A show like this that tries to appeal to so many demographics would never include any actual BL. (That doesn't mean it can't have any service, though.) But of course you try to tell this to dozens of fanboys freaking out and feeling threatened in their manliness by the possibility of a male character finding another male character pretty. (OH MY GOD!) Last edited by kuromitsu; 2012-10-13 at 13:19. Reason: a little correction |

I should've been more clear really. I do actually understand the Doylist reasons for such things. But it still baffles me.

Basically, it's not horribly realistic but it's the sort of thing you don't need to think too deeply about. It's a bit like all those Looney Tunes cartoons when someone chases Bugs but Bugs takes control, presents the pursuer with some situation and they end up playing along. *** ETA: I was listening to the song during the preview of ep 3 to confirm if it's really Ono Daisuke singing, and uh, the lyrics... I can't hear it clearly because of the voiceover narration, but he seems to be singing about... cooking? XD;; At least I think the first part goes "naitekure tamanegi / mirai shinjite / utattekure ninjin [something something]" and toward the end before the English is "ore wa daidokoro ni tada hitori" (I'm all alone in the kitchen")... ;; Oh my god, please please please let it be true! XD It may even top Vegeta's cooking song... (gah, Horikawa Ryou...! XD) Last edited by kuromitsu; 2012-10-15 at 07:16. |

Episode 2 definitely caught me off-guard!
LOL I believed Shiro when he said he had a dying sister. I did a facepalm when it turned out to be a lie and he escaped with style. The cat-and-dog game of tag with illusions was hilarious~ Shiro: "Don't judge a book by it's cover. It's wants inside that counts." Me: Shiro that cunning guy Btw how many episodes will this series have? 12? P.S. To be honest Anna looks like she could be Shiro's sister as strange and absurd as it sounds.

I always found Shiro, Neko and Anna looking uncannily similar in the promotional materials. I'm willing to bet that either of them will turn out to be his sister, and that Shiro has some sort of familial relation with Weissman because of the white hair.

Now this episode made a little more sense...
Heh...I think I already love Yatagami(Black Dog guy)...he seems like he's going to be cool. And I think I like Neko too... Still meh on Whitey-chan; all I keep thinking of whenever he's on is 'PAASSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' |

Another possibility would be that evil!Yashiro is himself from the recent future. Who knows, maybe this series might cover time travel. And of course, there's always the possibility that Shiro was evil, and he remembers it, but he's trying to reform or something. EDIT: Ah, nevermind. I just remember in Episode 2, Shiro himself thought that the video was strange, that it "seemed so real, as if it's actually me... that's odd", which means he probably doesn't remember it. I guess it's just going to be split personality then.

Shiro: JUST AS PLANNED Yeah, maybe Neko's the one who put that illusion up? But then again, the other Group with Skater Boi and Not Shizuo and Goth Loli want him dead too... |
