| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This show is awesome. I love the characters. I love the art style and the whole atmosphere that I'm drawn into while watching it. It's dark, funny, touching, and mysterious. Really, it has it all. That was a hardcore beatdown Shinkurou gave those guys, but that shot to the head he took was pretty nasty too. I'm interested to find out what makes him so strong and also what seems to be wrong with him. Anyway, this is my favorite show of the season so far, hands down. |
    |
| Yeah, same here, definitely my favorite series from the new season. Kuhouin was so cute in this ep. I wonder what could be wrong with his arm to make it do that. I love the interactions between the characters and the story has a lot of potential. |
| nice animation... |
     |
| And nice that the human relationship between Shinkurou and Murasaki is still the main focus in the story instead of all the misteries. |
| Well she's not your typical moe-loli character, but Murasaki is really cute! <3 The story is pretty intriguing. Especially the source of Shinkurou's power... that weird thing sticking out on his arm? interesting. Also, though it seems like it doesn't really fit to the overall atmosphere of the show, I'm quite liking the OP/ED songs. :) Nice Episode overall. |
| Talking about moe loli, Murasaki's size proportion to Shinkurou is just... look at when she's changing clothes in the morning. By the way, anyone getting the impression "Production I.G" when watching this ? |
kimatg said: Well she's not your typical moe-loli character, but Murasaki is really cute! <3 I have to agree there. She just acts like a real child so good that you feel s certain empathy. Loved the episode, especially the whole after-bath scene. It was just so wonderfully done how Murasaki understood that the lady gave her the milk out of kindness, hence the reason she should thank her. I'm still not that intrigued by Shinkuro's powers, instead more about the relationship between those two. |
| This show just keeps being awesome. It's still- by far- my favorite of the new shows. Most of the characters have a lot of personality and remain interesting, and it's impossible for me not to be entertained watching Murasaki. I look forward to the next episode. |

Yeah, I noticed that too. lol He's a freaking giant...sometimes. Really enjoying this show so far. The bath scene was on the border of creepy (jeez, Shin, at least put some shorts on), but mostly the interaction between the two of them is very sweet. |
     |
| Another wonderful episode. The interaction between Murasaki and Shinkurou is just great. |
 |
| Pretty nice, that arm is pretty freaky. |
 |
| As if it was possible : this episode is even better than the first one. My No1 pick for this season. Brains Base : I love you, how the hell do you manage to produce such great series with such small staff ? |
They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. |
| Yeah, nothing left to say, just awesome :D Looking forward to more |
     |
| Awesome show with great animation/art, a nice story and interesting characters relations too. This second episode was as great as the first if not better. Just awesome. Hmmm I can't choose between Kure-nai and Allison and Lillia, but those two are clearly the best shows of this spring that have yet been subbed in English. And Soul Eater is great too. Hmm I think this season will be a good one, as expected, and we still have to see Real Drive, Chiko and Kaiba's first episodes too ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| "["spoiler"]" at the start and "["/"spoiler"]" Remove the "' marks. Great episode. our hero has depth and lots of background for us to learn. I knew he must of had "something" in order to handle these "Jobs", just didn't think he could totaly kick ass |
 |
| This anime owns. I agree this episode was better than the first. I also found the misunderstanding after the bath scene rather touching. Can't wait for episode 3 |
 |
| Part heartwarming part kick ass = awesome episode. That was great. |
     |
| Very nice Episode. I really like this Serie, my favorite Serie of the Spring 08 Season. |
 |
| murasaki is soooo cute |

Couldn't have said it any better myself. |
| This is good: The rumors about this show starting just to focus on Murasaki's cuteness were false. This show made really a good start with those two episodes up until now. It shows us a promising story with some nice dark aspects to it and as well as a quite mysterious setting. I would expect it to be one of the greater shows of this session. And damn fuck people categorizing Murasaki and seeing her only as a "oh she is so damn cute" loli and going wild on here. She is just a normal kid.. |
 |
| Great episode, was really questioning whether or not to continue watching after the first episode. Adapting the girl to the real world, some romance, past and present mysteries and a good old fashion ass kicking to top it off. No idea what direction this show is headed but I'm definitely going to go along for the ride. |
  |
| Benika and Yayoi <3 I love the details. Murasaki is so cute, she's just like a 7 year old. Shinkurou is awesome too. I like how the previews are done, the guy who does the preview and the music during the preview sound great. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| i kinda take back what i said in the first episode discussion... this anime's plot has really turned around, and now I actually know what going on... and the animation quality is a huge plus... my rating went from a 3-8 in one ep...lol |
 |
| i like this anime. its very nicely drawn and the characters are cool. Murasaki is rather cool too. her character gives an aura of sophistication. |
| Still watching this episode as I write here, but I have to share my thoughts about this shows animation, voice acting/characters and bgm: Amazing omg! Barely a scene that I didn't like. Especially the voice acting in the bathhouse: "Itai, itai! Ahh, Tsumetai! Me itaiii! Atsui, Atsui! Itai, Itai! Now this kinda quality has to be kept up.. and the story has to become something great .. and we'll have a winner of the season. |
     |
| As expected of Brain Base! This is my favorite anime of the season so far, as well. Characters seem very real and well thought out, the artwork and animation are gorgeous, and the plot is very intriguing thus far. Can't wait till next week. |
| This is just distilled awesomeness |
| Liked the first two eps so far.. Murasaki is so adorable <3 |
| nothing mutch to say, great animation, characters, soundtracks. everything just screams more!. |
| Very awesome episode. Great music, animation... Murasaki is great as well... the conversations between her and Shin are just great. I loved it. |

| I love how it feels as though these characters are having a real conversation unlike most anime where you have the same banter back and forth. |

I agree, noticed that from the very start and it's awesomly refreshing as I said before. Definitely one of the strong points of this anime. |

| The flashback scared the shit out of me |
| I liked this episode a lot more than the first one. =) Even though some of the proportioning was obviously off, I thought the animation in general was really appealing. I also appreciated that Murasaki came off less bratty and more "raised that way" this time. The whole conversation between them after the bath was terrific, although I'm going to need some convincing that a 7 yr old, even a very bright one, could be that quick and well-spoken. All in all, I'm really looking forward to the next episode. =) |

| This was another great episode! One of my favourites of the season so far! |
  |
| Gah still wanna know whats up with Shinkurou's arm :\ Was a good episode overall |
 |
| Another good episode. I enjoyed it a lot more than the first one, especially with the interaction between Shinkurou and Murisaki. I love how real the people all seem to be in this series. I can't wait to see more. :] |
     |
| Good episode! So glad this show came out!1 That boy Shinkurou is a pokemon :))) why is he so strong? |

I love the voices of the characters, as well as the animation. cant wait for the next episode |

Heist said: Hmm, Check out the novel detail and found out Murasaki parent is indeed somehow a very 'taboo' subject. Although I don't know is that the reason that Murasaki father's 'wife' treat her 'mother' so badly.? im taking a stab in the dark but i am guessing that he was supposed to marry the wife but had an illigitimate child (murusaki) with murusaki's mother. and it doesn't seem like the father and wife had any children so she hates murusaki. this is an awesome start off. first episode was good and this was even better. for some reason shinkurou reminds me of Hei from Darker than black. yeah i wonder what's up with his arm too, he talks to it like its another person or being. and one thing is for sure, he doesn't feel pain. |
| Wow, I am totally blown away by this show. Everything about it has been amazing. I love it when a show with no hype comes out of nowhere and blows away the overhyped mainstream stuff. I can't wait for episode 3 although I feel that eventually this show is going to get really dark and something horrible is going to happen to the loli. That is going to make me cry. |
| Murasaki is totally awesome. and all is said. |

| This show is turning out great. So well done... actually, this is looking out to be a potential "10" from me, which only a handful of shows have ever received. |
 |
| Another great episode, after the first 2 episodes as well as the 5 completely different manga chapters I've read (manga is out of order) I can safely say this series will rock and probably be a top 10 series of the year. And next episode is the first meeting between Murasaki and Yuuno XD |
| i love the part when shinkurou taught murasaki to thank the old lady for her milk cos it was out of kindness that she was given it. murasaki was so sweet! when she realised how she should show her appreciation when she was treated well. XD |
