I love how you passionately showing your love over Chiwa in that big bold sig. Chiwa is the best girl of Oreshura, period. Don't let the others tell you otherwise.

kinda liked the way they sped up this anime. sounds less like a guy with a hair fetish, just a way to get rid of killing instinct.

gonna keep going and see how it developes, but like the series after seeing the second episode, since I was gonna drop it at the first but decided to give it another try.

Why is the class surprised at Iwai-chan's backpack? Japanese students don't use backpacks past elementary school?

Things are looking much serious right after the part where Haimura gets injected. Looking forward to the next Episode. And Iwai is soo cute with her short hair. Too bad It always grows back everyday and Haimura has to cut it every morning.

It seems strange though, I know we don't necessarily know when Yamane gets the syringe, but it's evident that she does need to 'act out a murder' every now and then in order to hold herself over. Our MC, didn't get to do that until he met the little 'Hair Queen'.
But when did he get the scissors? In ep.1 we already saw how he could barely hold himself when he saw some girls whose hair he wanted to cut. And don't forget we never got to see how Yamane got into the stage of killing her parents. We did not know when she got the syringe and how long or what she went through before she went to kill her parents. All we know is that her sister refused to listen or care about her until it was too late, so perhaps Yamane's problem indeed got worse over a long period but never noticed by anyone (even her sister thought her dumb and ignored her) until the killing passion broke out in a spectacular burst of violence, against her parents no less.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

So I was kind of wondering.

According to what we've been told, killing goods makes the author have a strong urge to kill unless they are tricked into thinking they are committing a murder to ease their blood lust. From what we've seen if they don't, then the Killing Goods will pretty much take over the author and make them go into a rage til they kill someone. This goes on from pretty much the day you own the Good as we see from a flashback with Yamane and Houko.

What I don't understand though is why Kiri isn't exactly the same. He says ever since he stopped cutting hair he still has that urge to keep cutting no matter what, but just holds back his urges(to an extent).

So shouldn't he have been overtaken by the Good's blood lust and already attempted to kill someone? Or is his obsession with hair sort of replace that killing intent? Although I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be that easy.
Not sure if Yamane started having the murderous drive early or instantly. Houko mentioned she doesn't like Yamane and never pay her attention until it's too late. It could be that the process is gradual and Yamane did try to tell her, but she kept ignoring it until finally Yamane comitted the murder.

My personal thought, Kiri had developed a substitute early from cutting hair. He already registered the impulse as wanting to cut hair instead of peoples' limbs.
Besides, he's


And he's lucky because Crime Edge is a hair scissor (is there any specific term for that kind of scissor ?). The first connection normal people would have with that is to cut hair.
Injection in the other hand... without being creative, there's not much alternative other than stabbing people, and that's not as easily done.

So the bad guys could have ended their curse at any point, but rather than doing that they wait years for some random guy to come along and protect her so that they can have "fun".
Gossip (the Professor's organization) are not the Authors. They're merely the spectator wanting a good show. That's why they're keeping the Queen until someone came to protect her. There's no fun in seeing the sitting duck got smashed to pulp in three seconds and have to wait for another decade.
The reason why nobody came is likely because Gossip kept Iwai's location in secret. As seen in Kiri and Yamane's case, the Authors are all home grown and they don't have as much resource as a secret organization with influential members.

The Professor is... weird, but he may have something up his sleeve.

"And so it begins."

The Authors, Insteads and the curses of the Killing Goods are explained, and the killing game is introduced. A fairly faithful episode, I'd say.

Authors, if left unable to satisfy in any way the unnatural urges caused by the curse of their Killing Good, will eventually be driven to commit murder. In Kiri's case, Iwai is willingly and effectively serving as his Instead; aside from being the Hair Queen herself. It's interesting how both of them are mutually and completely indispensable to each other.

Hmm. I knew that fighting scene against Yamane was going to be bloody, but boy, the censorship in this episode was just way overboard. She wasn't stabbed anywhere, but got deep cuts on her hand and fingers from Kiri - which wasn't very apparent due to how bad the censorship was.

Somehow they managed to explain his cutting hir fetish, which was actually quite neat.
Also, I ended the episode with the pleasant feeling this won't be just another rather romantic shonen with the guy protecting the girl endlessly.
it's getting more and more promising.

I like the OP song.

When Kiri attacked Yamane, I thought he got her neck and killed her, lol boku no baka desu.

@Ray_Light:
Yeah, I think Kiri and Iwai go well together. Vs. hammer guy, I still think the scissors will win.

The OP is nice with some explicit scenes.
The ED is nice, too.

When I first saw Iwai with short hair, I was like "Oh no, we'll never see her with long hair again!" But it grows back every night, so I'm fine.

So, owners of Killing Goods are called Authors. They get urges to kill unless they find an Instead. Like Kiri cutting Iwai's hair or Yamane injecting Houko.
If an Author kills The Queen Of Hair, their wish will be granted.

After Professor Lolicon has been introduced, I can say that everyone in this anime has a weird fetish.

Authors and their Killing Goods so far:
Kiri with Severing Crime Edge. Yamane with Lethal Coma Injection. And there's a new guy with a huge hammer. Great.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Got a taste of the action this episode.

The fight scene was good not exactly hype though. As for how he knows how to fight with his scissors, I'd say it's the combination of the fact that he's been carrying Crime Edge with him all his life so it's essentially another part of his body and possibly the instincts he inherited from his serial killer ancestor.

Really don't like the glasses girl even though she's got it tough.

Decent episode.

OP song - 4.2/5

Iwai-chan is better suited to short hair and lovely with Randsell <3

This episode suddenly went serious. So many terms like Author, Instead, Gossip, wow.
This feels like Mirai Nikki vibe with insane people. Damn, Onee-chan killed their parents as finisher.

Eye glass girl is Yan without Dere.

This show is like a mix of action, game, horror, romance, comedy and its already good and awesome.

Um... If Yamane told her parents, shouldn't they have tried every means necessary to get rid of the syringe, regardless of whether they believed her? At least then she wouldn't have to blame herself for it, as the syringe would keep return to her no matter how many times it was thrown away. Well, she also could've proven her claim if she knew they couldn't be broken and tried to brake them. I'd love to see it get smashed with a hammer or just thrown into the ocean.

That's the scene I remember most from this episode: a girl getting hot and bothered from her sister injecting saline into her arm and licking the track-marks. Like what the hell even? And she totally finished off her parents when syringe girl mostly killed them. Just strangled them with her bare hands. She was what, 9? Damn. And she wasn't the one possessed by some murderer tool.

If Kiri is supposed to be Iwai's protector then he's been doing a pretty crap job of it so far.
