| felt like a lot was shown but at the same time i'm like there's still 10 or so episodes left so i'm curious to how much of the puzzle is missing, so far it hasn't been mind fucking me but just leaves me feeling like there's still a lot they haven't revealed to us. felt weird learning more about a character i liked right after they died |
 |
| This gave so much more info and made the show way more exciting than the first episode, now I get why they released two episodes back to back. I think the events are jumping from past to present and that could be confusing to some people but you'll probably get used to it soon, personally I don't mind this kind of transition and I can wrap my head around it some what easily but it can get really annoying if it's not executed correctly, I'm probably worrying too much about it since this IS Mad house after all but it's still concerning. |
| Hmm well, didn't do much to assuage my criticisms of the first episode and now it's an exposition fest on top of that. It seems like they're trying to pull off the original disjointed, non-chronological narrative but either have no idea how to do it or are afraid of confusing the viewers. This lack of a backbone is one of those things I can't stand about 95% of newer anime; yah, there are some kids who will call it trash because it's too complicated, but it's either that or you just make another mediocre gimmick show with it's only redeeming feature being the amazing original source it has to work with. But hey, for me at least, there's yuri. Kind of. Manticore alien yuri kisses; so hot *sarcastic fangirling*. Whatevs, I'll be following the show for sure, but my expectations are medium-low at best. |
 |
| It seems interesting, but also confusing at first. I think it's going to be an anime I need to watch a second time after I finished watching it. A lot of the confusion is due to the character designs, imho. It took a while until I relized that the guy from episode 2 isn't the same guy as the one from episode 1. Also the black haired girls looked very similar to each other, it'll probably need some episodes to get used to it. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| Done watching both episodes. This was the anime I was hyped for the most this season. I went in completely blind, having only seen the promotional trailer. My expections were high, and while I'm not blown away like I was hoping, its still interesting. I think I will finish this one at least. I dont mind the animation as much but I do hope it gets better, something more like what the promo trailer showed (though i saw some boogiepop fans comment the trailer was a bit misleading to what the show was actually gonna be like) I didnt expect us to find out so quickly who the monster in the school was. I thought that would be the main mystery but I guess the story is going in a different direction. |
| This show really messes up the mind with back and front memory loops. Still I do wanna know what Boogiepop really is. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I was a little uncertain if i should keep watching or not because the first episode was OK i liked it but i dont know.. but after this one i got my answer this anime is going to be amazing |

| Interesting start, it was slow but I enjoyed this introduction. |
| :I |
| It's great so far, even if it feels very quickly paced. Just don't confuse between the two brown haired guys like I did xD |
 |
| Better second episode, still chaotic direction and explanation dialogue has bad for the intrigue. Temporal jump has worst in this episode. |
 |
| I like the non-linear story-telling because it's fun trying to piece it all together. The first two episodes felt like they were over in a few minutes. I thought Takeda would be on of the MCs but he's not listed as one. Was he only there to introduce Boogiepop to us? |
fight-or-flight said: Yeah, the character designs are very basic and hard to tell them apart. Some scenes are very dark as well. Not dark as scary, but dark as in I can’t see what’s going on. With the similar character designs that makes it even harder to tell who is who. Towards the end of the second episode I finally started to be able to tell them apart.Having a bit of trouble telling some of the characters apart at the moment- it might just be because so many got introduced all at once, but I'm not sure the designs are distinct enough either. It took me a bit to realize the brown-haired guy helping the manticore was not the same brown-haired guy who talked to Boogiepop. ...I gotta learn some names too. Otherwise, it was pretty intriguing. It's got an awesome soundtrack, for sure. I'm a little worried about the animation, but it wasn't bad enough to put me off entirely if the story continues to pull me in. |
| Still pretty interesting, but this episode in particular had some really weirdly done exposition |
| That was still pretty confusing, but at least there was some sort of narrative to follow this episode. I'm definitely interested in seeing where this goes. |
 |
| I don’t know the fuck is going on |
| That was.... disappointing. I was expecting better for such a well respected title. |
 |
| Ok, this episode was more explanatory with the events that occurred in the first episode. The scenes were chronologically random, but they fit. |

| Man i watched baccano which is supposed to be one of the hardest out there to follow and i got it the first time but now im confused... So our protagonist after his girlfriend became normal again sided with the man eating clone? Why? Can someone explain it to me? |

The protagonist from the first episode isn't the same guy that sided with Manicore (the clone), they just look alike because good character design. As to why he sided with the Manicore it's not really clear yet, but he seems to want to use her to "conquer the world" or something along those lines. |
milkclub said: yep i just fast forwarded the first episode to see again whats going on and i got it thank you very much though ... Lol i wasnt expecting this animation from madhouse.... I mean yeah uve watched previous works of 00s but it was better.... I dont know what is wrong.... It looks that the first episode shows us the scene after the clone was dealt for too.. hmm TehManiac said: Man i watched baccano which is supposed to be one of the hardest out there to follow and i got it the first time but now im confused...

| I missed Boogiepop in this episode. Not the biggest fan of the first two episodes, although that's to be expected because the mystery is just starting to unfold and I'll be patient to see where this goes, I can see it reaching a good climax in the later episodes. But man, the soundtrack is so fucking great and it gives such a great mood to the series, I love it already. |

| Just finished watch the 2 episode, at first i was confused, and then i realize they just make the scene randomly consist from the past and the present, and now we have some clue here about an organization making a test subject such as echoes and manticore, or maybe they have more than just echoes and manticore? |
| Am I the only one that didn't think that the brown-haired guy from this episode was the same guy from the first episode? |
|
| I'm not sure I can handle this non linear story telling. I just don't have the focus and memory lately. I had to play various parts over again because I don't identify characters that quickly. |

| This has been great for me so far... as I am a sucker for this genre. :> |
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| The first two episodes present an intriguing story that's followed by a good ost. The downside is that it's really difficult to be able to discern the various characters, so it can be a bit confusing, especially with the time-skips used to develop the story. Well, in the end is one of those shows that make your brain cells work, kinda like when doing a puzzle, so good episodes all things considered. |
 |
| Alright, there we go, things are getting interesting now |

| I had the characters completely mixed up and got so confused. After rewatching the first episode I feel like I'm back on track. This is a great watch so far. |
 |
| Interesting and I find the storytelling to be mature. I am fond of Nagi so far. Also Suema seems likable as well. |
