I can't be saying Azunyan and *insert Saintess' waifu here*.

And don't forget the nekomimi.

I'm curious about this show, I hope this will turn for a good series.

Oh look a cute lonely girl, this can't possibly go wrong...!

She is supposed to be "dead". (Hey it is not a spoiler to the manga, got it from summary)

Which is funny, because one of the characters in the book actually asks Sakakibara

Spoiler for very mild spoiler for novel:

if he knows that 1970's American horror movie "The Omen"...I'd really wish they'd leave it in there, but they already cut all the references to Stephen King and several other 70's, 80's and 90's horror works from the manga script, so I assume they will do the same here. Copyrights or something like that...

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

Shouldn't this be shifted to current already? Seeing how it's already aired

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.

[Miraluka]

I can't believe I missed Ali Project after this time , I guess thast because I heard so many horrible songs these previous seasons.

Misaki died before Sakakibara was even born.

Oh I see. That "26 years ago" bit just flew by my ear completely.

Okay then: I'm guessing his dad was involved. Everyone in his class seems to know about his dad.

[Miraluka]

"Your father killed me so I'll torture you".

LOL, talking about twisted logic.

[Grim_Reaper]

I really liked director's work. Overall I'm intrigued; can't wait to see next episodes.

The anime OP.

[Horse]

Was prepared for the worst and I ended up loving it. Should be a keeper for teh J-Horror fans.

PS. I still think the main duo have the least interesting designs though, lol.

[ukulelembo]

OP:

ED:

[Silvance]

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:

What a cheerful class. Nothing abnormal around here, alright. :3

This show is definitely a keeper. I hope they keep it up.

[viperdk1]

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."
