Character designs aren't bad, except for the thunder struck hair. Especially in females. Megumi's was still better.

Ok purple kid is a jackass.
Doc and monk rule.

And the old lady and blinds scene really did give me the creeps.

Also, I was continually aware of the rain in the background. The sound effects were marvelous. The way they shifted from 'in the room' to 'outside', whatever you call that effect.

I'm actually thinking of dropping this for now. Not entirely sure, yet. I don't think I'm in the mood for it, really. -shrug- I might watch one more episode.

OK, maybe the episode wasn't that exciting, but things are coming together smoothly. And I'm starting to learn some of these characters, at least the ones that aren't dying from a "summer cold" or "anemia".

The priest and the doctor (it takes me awhile to learn names so bear with me), seem to be a potentially great team. I just wonder if either of them will believe what's at the heart of this once they find it. It's all way too freaky.

another enticing episode, especially when the old lady (i think her name was fuki) turned her head and said; "don't call the doctor" really scary

"Don't call the doctor", and the shoji screen scene were the highlights. I liked this episode way more than the first. And, lastly,

That hair.

that Yuuki guy is such a douchebag.

Kaori is soo caring, despite Megumi being cold towards her.

i guess the common thing they have is they start with a minor illness then after a few days it get worse and worse.

maybe some kind of disease??

i wonder since the people from the eastern castle has moved recently, and Muroi mentioned a similar pandemic occured 20 years ago.

do you think they were the same people that moved in 20 years ago, and they somehow left and came back for some reason??

interesting stuff, love shows like this :)

Hmm, the alibi the rich people have is that they moved into the village after the deaths already started to occur. That is if a certain person is responsible anyway. I don't really have enough information to determine if there is another culprit but the most mysterious characters seem to be the new rich family.

It could also just be those weird wolves, but who knows. What is also interesting is that there was a death in a family after the rest of the family already died and was decaying (2 people from episode 1). So maybe she already was dazed and didn't care about the 2 corpses in the house or maybe she was moved there.

The motive still seems kind of supernatural to me, maybe it is to steal youth, maybe it is something else. That is if someone or something is responsible anyway.

Seems like its getting interesting if that guy is going to start getting screwed over as well!

I agree with this but there was one scene in Yuuki's room where they kept playing beatboxing music and I was like "Uhhhhh, what the hell are they playing right now?"


Yeah, that part lost me.
And then it suddenly stops and I'm like "...wtf was that?"

That was definitely weird...it felt out of place o_o but I'm guessing there's a reason why they played that track?? Btw, head turning was creepy as fuck, though a lot of people have commented on this already. I wonder why the lady didn't want to call the doctor? Megumi and the other woman who went to the hospital didn't seem to mind.

Even knowing everything that will happen, this is still addicting to watch and suspenseful, that scene with Yuuki and the beatbox was freaky and the end scene with the eyes on him was eerie as well.

Mmm, so now they go on the path of the epidemy. I have a feeling that Nao will give bad conclusion to that doctor.

I have a problem with Natsuno. He's annoying and I still don't understand what's is purpose in the story. I understand that he was annoyed that she was stalking him, but still, that was fucking rude, to leave in the middle of a funeral. If you don't care about the person that died, you don't go to his funeral in first place. Also, what was the eyes thing at the very end? Does he have super power? He seem a bit paranoiac, it could be an animal that shaked the bush xD

But anyway, this is a vampire show and the point of vampirism is to make minions, so I guess that the corpse that weren't all decomposed like the ones in the first episode will rise from the death.

What's with the acapella or whatever BG music? It's so weird. I don't know if it's actually an OST or if it's the spirits or some shit that Natsuno is hearing. There was also a bit of it (different track I think) in the first episode. It's weird.

Okay premise. I do like some of the directing choices they made in this. Like, listing the names of the characters and their occupations makes the series seem more like some mystery novel. Sometimes, the effects they put on frames strikes me weirdly though. The body proportions still bug me but it's only 22 episodes so might as well stick it out. I just want to see Tohru lol.

This plodding, dank atmosphere, man... it's something one really has to be in the mood for, but I'm digging it. That air of mystery was executed very nicely, though it seems quite obvious what the "epidemic" is to anyone already familiar with what the setting is intended to be.

Whatever the case, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Maybe I just enjoy this type of slow paced and atmospheric anime more these days. I blame Mushishi.

Noob doctor, what kind of doctor let patient (nao-san 19:40) go home with that weak presentation?? Even if he doesn't know the cause, he supposed to make her stay in the clinic under close observation or rush her to bigger hospital.
well anyway, good thing he acted up on the increased unknown case of death

i don't really like the blue-haired protagonist, he seems pretentious and annoying. more room for character development, i guess? the doc looks like he got his shit together though. am i the only one who didn't mind Megumi?

Well, the death of the Main Character was a little early but since it's an vampire show it's understandable. I don't really like the artstyle used in this serie but that just means the storyline has to be good. So far that's okay..

But, 15:22 what is up with that music, can you even call it music? Just some men shouting random words. (At least that is so in KissAnime.)

Is it bad that I get annoyed by Yuuki, like a lot? But I also got annoyed by the other MC, meh.

I'm not sure what to lol at first, that beatboxing bgm or the hair. XD

That said, similar symptoms and the doctor still doesn't give them blood? Seriously, dude? You know WHAT the issue is if you can figure out they have very similar symptoms and you know your medical terms, c'mon now. Vitamins, what a joke. I want to like this guy, but it's hard to believe he wouldn't at least see about getting some or trying it or something!

The old lady saying not to call a doctor felt odd to me since neither of the younger girls had that issue. Nao wasn't even forcibly dragged in by her mom... Ehh, comes off as a creepy scene just to have a creepy scene.

But, really, Natsuno. A pink haired girl who liked you died and you can't remove the thought of? You really should have known she'd come back to haunt you as a yandere.

Still, a better paced episode than the last.

I teared up when the parents started crying and mourning their dead daughter.
Observing the aerial map of the village, it looks like a damn cozy place to live in, I would have loved to trade places with those kids, that is, batting an eye on how freaky it feels observing from the residency of the place.
This city boy is way too cocky.
I'm all chill and gangsta until those eery musical scores and creepy sound effects start rolling, especially using headphones while watching, alone in a dark room late at night, I'm going,g to have fun with this Anime.

This episode was 10000 time better than the first one. Maybe because Megumi was dead and didn't see her annoying face. It's very slow but I like it so far even though character design is sooo ugly, I can live with that though. The "don't call the doctor" scene was creepy.
agree. This show is promising as of now, even when 10 years have gone. Continue to the next episode.

Omg, that old lady suddenly turning her head was so creepy. The same goes for Yuuki and that window. I can't help but expect Megumi to suddenly appear there, which will most likely happen. They will probably not stay dead for a long time. Seems like that creepy girl with black eyes will appear in the next episode.
