Good episode. This anime is getting interesting, I actually like ghosts and supernatural things, but I'm not sold to this anime yet =P
We also got a nice cliffhanger.

The introductory episodes were very tame compared to what's to come. 18-21 "The bloodsoaked labyrinth" still creeps me out. >.< The other arcs were great too, but that one was definitely the worst (best :D)

That's funny because the person that turned me on to the series actually said the same thingXD. I think my watching too many mysteries has caused me to know to much and have come to be able to pick out a culprit out of a line of characters. Of course it's not always that easy and this is the first episode. It is a good starting episodes and I can't wait till they get spookier down the road...

So I'm guessing that glasses girl is either the ghost, or behind the prank.

That's what I have been thinking from the first episode.

And what was that light at the end? Does Mai have some sort of powers?

The girl Kuroda seem suspicious right from the beginning. I suspect she might have something to do with the incidents.

The OP and ED caught my attention too since it's devoid of any images. Quite a fresh concept and they suit the mysterious ambience of this series.

Nah, just a narcissist xP Can't look you in the eye when they mess up, I've known some.
I'm such a chicken...I have no idea why I started watching this o.O I don't mean that I'm scared now because it wasn't really scary up to now, but judging by this:

At 14th minute, Shibuya said that the chair was moving because floor of the classroom at the eastern end was three inches lower than the west end. Then why were other objects still standing at their places? That was not very logical assumption. Spirits really dwell in that misterious place! The story would not be interesting without them.

K so I'm watching this again, and Mai just came off rude in this episode. She shouted at Ayako twice and the monk once, She didn't even apologise later. I don't remember her being so rude!

Very interesting... I too feel that girl is behind all of this but I'll just have to wait and see for myself. Oh and a scene I really loved in this episode was when Mai wakes up Kazuya and was like, "God dammit... he's really handsome". ^^ haha

I suppose Kuroda isn't the ghost or anything, given it seems to be the most obvious scenario.

I'm starting to wonder if it's actually real or just all a big lie, not sure if in this anime ghost are real or not as that hasn't been confirmed yet and currently most of them are just doing some useless stuff...

Lets see what happens next!

Poor Kazuya. I find it adorable how he still thought that the schoolhouse was sinking even after the doors slamming and the chair moving. Now he's in a state of despair... XD

Mai. Holy shit she is so annoying. She has one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard.

This episode was better than the last one. The plot is beginning to thicken...

I aggree, Mai seems so generic like your usual main character average-looking girl and I'd call her voice annoying too, but compared to american dub she sounds like an angel, that dub is disgusting.

Kuroda-san is odd. Really odd. Like she's the cause of all this. Maybe she's some sort of necromancer? What I also find really odd about her is that she told Mai that she wanted to meet Naru, and once she met him, she didn't do anything special to get closer to him. The other weird thing is that she keep repeating the same thing, which is a common trope in ghost stories.

But I have difficulties to believe that she's a ghost, because we saw her on the street and at the school. In these kind of stories, the ghost is always related to a place and trapped there (in this case being the old school).

Kinda weird when your catholic exorcist seem like the least weird of the exorcists.

Things sure are picking up around here. I'm hoping that things would escalate more and more as the series progresses.

Glasses girl is annoying as usual while the priestess is getting close to taking the lead lul

Dude I know this is supposed to be an actual ghost story, but I can't shake off the feeling that it is sinking + glasses girl is interfering to make it seem genuine.

I don't think that the priestess and monk are annoying. No offense, but Naru is an asshole. If he can dish out the insults, then he can take them.

I think that a bad thing that people do is automatically side with the protagonist. It's a radical concept, but the protagonist isn't always in the right.
