| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Are they all going to come back as vampires or something? Because Megumi is listed as a main character, but they killed her off so early. Anyways, interesting that the old lady so clearly said "don't call the doctor" and her neck cracked as she said it. Creepy. This is a vampire show, isn't it? http://www4.funimation.com/video/?page=video&v=5801 |
 |
| A very strange show so far. Natsuno sure is annoying, he didn't have to be so rude to Kaori. Yet it looks like he lives longer than most judging by the intro. I like the monk guy and the docter, I hope they live. I'm bad at remembering names. I hope Megumi doesn't come back! Maybe she's just listed in the main cast because there will be flashbacks with her in them. The nurse will probably be one of the next to die as they just introduced her a little bit this episode. I wonder if this show is going to get more exciting or if it will be more of a mystery. |
 |
| Certainly seems to be vampires. The doctor's diagnosis was a very roundabout way of saying blood had been drained. I can see in this episode how people would find the show slow. Despite the big revelations and character development, there was a good bit of unnecessary content, such as the huge amount devoted to Megumi that really didn't add much. That's not something I dislike, though. There's some nice atmosphere from the details. This show isn't too deep, but I'm finding more meat to dig into than the rest of this season. Thumbs up from me. |
| The OP for this is SO awesome. I also find it a bit odd that the old lady clearly said "don't call the doctor" as her neck cracked all creepy like. The pace of this episode seemed fairly slow, but still enjoyable. |

SirensRequiem said: The OP for this is SO awesome. This SirensRequiem said: I also find it a bit odd that the old lady clearly said "don't call the doctor" as her neck cracked all creepy like. Also this. That made me go "WHOA!" I think the slow pace of this is going to turn some people off. I'm totally enjoying it but I can see why some would say it's slow. Still waiting for Gackt. |
 |
| The old lady part was creepy. I was like 0_o Good episode! More development! |
| Really interesting. I wanna know what happens next. xD Maybe i will begin to read the manga^^ |
| Definitely slow, but I'm OK with that for now. I liked the scene of Kaori thinking of her own future death thanks to Megumi's burial; it seems like Kaori, along with Natsuno, the monk, and the doctor, will be the main characters. I hope sooner or later we find out why Natsuno hates people so much. I'm also hoping we see more of the mysterious new family (especially the little girl, since she has the whole ending to herself) soon. And like others, I still adore the opening. BUCK-TICK <3 |

| Quite boring episode.. but I guess all episodes can't be interesting. I was hoping to get more information about that family this time, but it looks like I have to wait. :< |
Optime olere occisum hostem! |
| Whoa how are these people dying?? O__o and who's watching Natsuno?? yeah kinda slow but hopefully it will get more interesting ^^ |
     |
| Yup it's freaking slow. But I will hope for something good to happen soon or I might be dropping it. |
 |
| This is giving me the creeps, it seems to be a vampire anime due to the victims diagnosis, I hope we'll see more of Sunako, something tells me she's a large part of the story. |

| |
| I'm enjoying the show so far and the pacing seems to be right in line with this type of suspense/drama. I thought the ending was a bit over dramatic :P |
| Yeah I agree the characters desing isn't good, it's a bit disturbing and in my opinion it doesn't fit the creepy mood. Ironic, huh? I'm getting tired of this vampire thing, so I want zombies too :P But I don't mind since this anime gives me the creeps anyway... |

XDD Oookay, those sounds when Natsuno saw something in the bushes in the evening creeped the shit out of me. Maybe watching this just before going to bed isn't such a good idea x__X I was seriously thinking about finishing it tomorrow for a moment XD Lol. But it just means that it's doing its job properly - vampires can be scary after Twilight! 8D |

| People posting about wanting zombies in this thread are such trolls (^.^). I thought HotD would be self contained, but it just seems to be inserting new ideas here. Megumi dying way to fast supports zombie resurrection though the fact that she is buried is a heavy counterargument. I mean she was the only character to get development so it seems a little weird... The time dedicated to her was a waste but actually enjoyable for me. All the deaths help contribute to the freakishness but i hope we get to see the 'reason' for all of them soon. Even just a glimpse! |
NorikoW said: You say it's slow, while when I watched it and it ended i was like "Eh? So fast?" So mark my words, it doesn't have to be action packed to be interesting, or to be fast to be entertaining.Yup it's freaking slow. But I will hope for something good to happen soon or I might be dropping it. |
| The build up is amazing i haven't felt this trilled about a horror anime since i watched Ghost Hunt. It's just slowly building up and becoming more creepy. I think this might be the best horror anime of the season if it keeps this up. |
| Natsuno is such a prep. Poppin' his collar 24/7. I don't think he was especially mean or rude to Kaori. It was weird that she got all hyped up just seeing him at the funeral. He probably only went cuz his parents did. The postcard Megumi wanted to send him was cute and made me like her a little bit more, even though the entire time they were mourning her death, I was thinking, lol. She's dead. I hope the blond guy in the opening isn't Megumi come back from the dead after a sex change. |
| I have been wondering, about the opening when it shows the two figures about to kiss or kissing, the outline of it looks like Sunako and Yuuki. Are they...suppost to get together? |
helur said: Megumi dying way to fast supports zombie resurrection though the fact that she is buried is a heavy counterargument. Hey, good old school vampires needed to die first, you know :D A victim is bitten, dies from blood loss, is buried and reanimates after dawn / one night / three days and three nights / etc. I don't have my copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula with me, so I can't check how it was done in this classic, but vampires are definitely dead. That's why traditional vampires need coffins. I hope this show incorporates a more traditional view of a vampire, who cannot go out in daylight =w= And seeing a vampire with only one nostril would also be fun. As for the episode, it was great. I was surprised how fast the characters understood there's something going on. I thought they would show more people dying first. Nice. :3 |
| How many more episodes until Megumi returns? =P Either Yuuki's imagining things, or someone else has picked up where Megumi left off. Dude can't catch a break, I guess. And yeah, the old woman was creepy. |
| Kinda slow, but managed not to bore me completely. I'm really liking the opening song now, specifically the second half. And I want to see the little girl from the ending song. Couple of creepy scenes...mainly the old woman's exclamation and the feeling that Natsuno has that someone is still watching his house. I think Kaori is a likeable character, I hope she doesn't die :3 Same goes for the nurse who was speaking to Natsuno and the doctor. Not sure how I feel about the monk...and Natsuno is kind of mean (lol), but I don't mind him being a main character. I would root for him :P |
 |
| Great anime but i cant get the patience to wait for the episodes release. So i've read the manga. Everything's spoiled for me. The anime is loosing part of it's charm that way, but still damn great anime! ;D |

supersayen said: This. Unlike the first episode, this one clearly had a creepy atmosphere, and the events in this episode were much more interesting.This episode was 10000 time better than the first one. Maybe because Megumi was dead and didn't see her annoying face. |
| This far this show has been very much to slow paced for me. I dont want it to go all action like, but this far nothing has really happened. I guess they are building up the story, so i'll stick with it for another EP or 2 and see how it goes. |
     |
| My god, Megumi looks absolutely lovely with such pale skin... |

SirensRequiem said: Works of Buck-Tick are never a failure.The OP for this is SO awesome. Imagine Atsushi Sakurai as a seiyuu ♥ I also find it a bit odd that the old lady clearly said "don't call the doctor" as her neck cracked all creepy like. That scene really scared me.Lilgnomy said: Don't judge vampires by Vampire Knight.Vampires usually in animes looks gay. The incorporation of music in different scenarios was a bit hypnotizing, it made me want to concentrate on the show more. Oh well maybe I am just talking nonsense XD I guess the slow pace of the show makes it more creepier. |
 |
| Major improvement over the first episode. Interesting throughout with a couple of really creepy moments. |
 |
| I enjoyed it quite a bit more than the first episode. You could call the pace slow but I thought it was perfect and loved the episode. The series is keeping things close to the chest and building suspense as things escalate without clear explanations yet. Just makes me that more excited about the upcoming episodes! |
Lilgnomy said: I want zombies, not vampires :D Vampires usually in animes looks gay. even vampire knight? aside from that, slowly paced episode,,, kinda creepy |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
Linalee-Stratos said: The incorporation of music in different scenarios was a bit hypnotizing, it made me want to concentrate on the show more. Oh well maybe I am just talking nonsense XD 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?" |
| |
| Sorry Megumi, but no one likes you. It's the truth. garfield15 said: 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?" I really want the soundtrack now. It has some nice creepy tunes. Slow start is slow, but I'm hoping this series comes in with a surprise. I'm just waiting for it to happen....later on that is. |
| I'm thoroughly enjoying the show so far. It gives off a Higurashi creepy-ness feel to it. And at the end, I just kept thinking "don't open the window, don't open the window." |
Onegai said: I think you have the wrong impression. It won't go "all action like", this just isn't that type of anime. If you are waiting for action you can just not bother to stick with it for another "EP or 2".This far this show has been very much to slow paced for me. I dont want it to go all action like, but this far nothing has really happened. I guess they are building up the story, so i'll stick with it for another EP or 2 and see how it goes. |
| Died of anemia huh? I really hope the tl;dr of this show isn't "Kyūketsuki existu! Uu~" |
Beks said: And at the end, I just kept thinking "don't open the window, don't open the window." SAME!!!! I was like ahhhh.... and the creepy old lady cracking her neck... WTF! Pretty slow episode... i actually liked the first episode more, but I like how the suspense is building. |
  |
Beks said: And at the end, I just kept thinking "don't open the window, don't open the window." I thought he would for a second. I prolly would have yelled if he had. XD |
| This is a very slow anime just so everyone knows. If youve read the manga you will know that this starts off at a snails pace and starts to pick up as the story goes on. If you are thinking of giving this one up, just have some patience, the story is very interesting and very well told. As for the episode, because i know the story i cant say anything but it is doing a very good job following the manga, but it is diverging at some points which is making it interesting. The story is slowly picking up, and with each new episode i cant wait for the next one in a week. |
 |
| This is pretty slow paced, but I'm alright with that. It gives it a more mysterious feel. Natsuno is such a little brat. Regardless if you didn't much care for the girl or not, it's pretty rude to leave in the middle of someone's funeral. /: I miss Megumi, but she's listed as a main character so Hopefully she'll return next episode (I didn't see a preview so I have no clue what to expect, haha). |
| Hmms, with the second ep, I'm sort of getting used to the pace this is going at. I might read the manga soon. LOL Well, without the manga my guess is these people turn into vampires? ------- Just found where I'm at. Anyways; this is what you missed: |
