Another
Ghosts... violence... a bunch of jackasses who know what is going on but are unwilling to tell you about it.
I have yet to write this... because I am lazy or something
Kouichi has just transferred to a new high school buried in the back woods of Japan. Everything seems to be... ok, I guess. However, if you look around you may notice everyone is kind of scared of him. Especially since he seems to be the only person who can see a girl with an eye patch. Who he met one night at the hospital. She was making a perfectly normal delivery to the mourge
Season 1 Episode 11
Again I Was Right
What the hell is wrong with people. Did... uhh whats his name actually think that sharing that information with all the students would not result in a riot like that? You share how to stop something, everyone would turn on each other. I mean the calamity would stop... just everyone would be dead as well. So in a manner of speaking the calamity would get to kill everyone.
You know you would think that everyone would have some sense. I mean what 7 or 8 people die whenever the calamity starts. Now everyone in the class is going to die... well almost everyone. It is only a matter of time before they all start turning on each other. Then again, the few twists that appeared were kind of annoying to be honest. However, that is life... to be honest I am surprised that more people have not bled to death. Most of the people are not getting hit on small arteries. I mean the humorous is not a small bone, nor is your femur. Oh well, I guess clotting natural happens even if you do not try to stop the bleeding. It is just kind of funny how right I was about this kind of thing
Season 1 Episode 10
I Knew I Was Right
You know I just want to say if anyone did not already know how to stop the calamity. Then you are pretty dense. I mean all the clues were there in... what was it episode 7? Really if you could not figure this one out then you need to go back and take logic for first graders. There are some VERY obvious pointers to prove it. Especially with whats his name freaking out. I mean come on this is nothing that should surprise anyone. Maybe if they had not given away that VERY obvious clue. However, they did, and that should have been enough.
Season 1 Episode 9
A Little More Surprise Please?
So I think that the writer was just lazy with this series. I mean... yeah you can make it surprising by saying "The Kids and their families". However, that is just lazy surprise. In almost every episode I can figure out who is going to die. I mean I would like to sit down and say "Wow I did not see that one coming.". However, I digress that is just how anime is I guess.
Season 1 Episode 7
Obvious Clues
Then again maybe not so obvious to me. Though I cannot help but feel annoyed when something that is obvious to me is not asked. Oh well, such is life I guess. There are probably other details that are left out of this as well. Then again, why leave those details out? I mean I am supposed to be figuring this out right? Or is this a Goro, Horror anime only? Oh well, at least I am given something to ponder about all of this.
Season 1 Episode 5
Actual Good Writing
Well I can say that the writing for this anime is good in all aspects. I mean not only was I completely mislead, but the writer even comes up with a good reason for the curse. I mean it is not even an odd reason. It makes plenty of sense. So I have to say hats off the writer. How rare it is for someone to actually use thought and not rely on graphic other stuff. That was kind of weird... now I have another mystery... sadly right now the only answer I have seems too easy... but whatever... I guess I will get to look for other clues. It is a shame this anime might never reach the US.
Season 1 Episode 4
Too Predictable
So one thing I like about anime is that it is predictable. Well within reason, the formulas are followed within reason to give me a 60% to 70% chance of figuring out what is going to happen next. Like that about anime. However, it does get boring when I am 100% sure something is going to happen. Especially when it is something sad. Oh well I guess that happens in horror. It is supposed to be upsetting. Oh well, I really wish that they would unveil this whole thing already. However, I guess I have to wait for the next 8 episodes to learn what this stupid curse is.
Season 1 Episode 4
Good Writing
So I am kind of disappointed that they did not draw out that little mystery a bit longer. That kind of ruins the fun of the series to be honest. Is Sakaibara just crazy or is everyone else in the school a douche. Which is one bit of props I have to give this series. There is someone who knows how to write and direct running this thing.
That is how you know an anime is good or at least well written. They have to tell you the answer because they wrote it so well that you are confused. What with everyone's reactions to stuff and all that jazz. Anyway, yes I do like how this anime is written. If anything it is well written... even if they just use devices to keep me in suspense.
Oh well at least another mystery has opened up. Well another mystery that I can see anyway. Maybe others might not agree with me on that one, but it is there. So another sign of good writing you can keep on pushing through. Oh well at least I can keep wanting to watch this one.
