I liked this episode, it was funny. Although, it reminds me of Scooby-do, which is not a bad thing, and I just hope the plot keeps on progressing. I also hope Fumiaki is hiding his strengths up until now, and maybe exposes it in a future encounter. If he doesn't, it would be just lame. lol

hold up, i think i noticed something, the setting of this anime is in 1999, correct?

and the future dude is from 2012, correct?

dude comes to 1999 and says something along the lines of "that boy you saw, JUST NOW on TV IN 1999, was me 10 YEARS ago", did he not say something like that (he did, cuz i rewatched it to make sure i was correct)?

well then, 2012 - 10 = 2002, so ten years ago would have been 3 years into the future, according to this setting... am i wrong? did i misread something? (this is not a rhetorical question, i would like to know)

so either he came from the year 2009, or he went back to the past of 2002...

Best show this season so far, really enjoying it.
Maya is great, she shows more varied facial expressions than some show's combined cast.


And on the edge of sanity I stumble and fall.

I think he was just generalizing :\. 2012 - 1999 = 13 years. I guess he said 10 years because he didn't want to be exact (like how people say "5 minutes ago" but what happened is like 3 or 6 minutes ago; except its in years now -.-)

Nice War of the Worlds tripods. I kid, I actually really liked the look of them though. Cool design.

So I'm not sure whats going on 100%, the story isn't complex it just explains it a little fast. I'm a big fan so far though, very enjoyable series with a serious and comical edge. Still my favorite this season.

Man, this episode made me say ouch! Maya's so... Uhh..
Anyway, I like the spoon-bending part, when the host introduced him("Bunmei..")
Also lol'd at the random janitor-fat guy scene... Kinda reminds me of falcon punch... ;p
Well, a pretty good episode so far.. Waiting to see how it all turns out with lots of stuff going around...

Great episode. Shaping up to be one of my favourites so far. Random humour is awesome, but plot is good too. Music is really cool too XD. Some pretty epic stuff happened XD. That guy's hairstyle reminded me of Apollo Justice XD. Maya is an amazing main character IMO. That vice principal ... what is she up to ...?!
LOL 2012 ... the year everything got destroyed?! Oh noes!

I don't think that guy will make it to the end of the series if Maya keeps beating him like that. Sometimes with no sense. Anyways, this will be some Comedy/Horror - Mix (as far as Animes can be "Horror" :/) and I like it.

I really enjoyed the episode a lot! The humor was nice set and not too exaggerated and the story flows in a nice direction with good supernatural stuff which is even horror at some points.
And I love Maya!

Love it! Love the two offbeat personalities, love the humor and love the surprisingly chilling horror scenes! All dick jokes are funny to me now, since Higashi no Eden!

And... Maya's totally the key. Her picture was the only one that turned out weird.

I'm thinking I'm also going to give Senkou no Night Raid another chance after reading also these posts... :P

Surprise surprise the male lead of an anime is a weak loser. Well kinda obvious from how hes being used as a chair in the anime pic, I was more surprised when he was looking cool and confident before going back in time.

And you can't really call Maya tsundere...yet

It seems that time traveling doesn't only strip you off your clothes but also your 'manliness'. Despite the Time traveler being a wimp, he makes me laugh and I love that about him.

The episode was awesome, it has pretty much everything; I like the Nostradamus Prophecies theme.
Maya is such an amazing character, I like the fact that she keeps using violence.
And I actually like the way that Abe is so weak and Maya can kick his ass.

I wonder how old is Abe lol.

Most pathetic time agent.... ever.


It makes you wonder where did all his confidence went. He was playing the big guy in his time.


hikoghert said:

Anyway. Pretty much confirmed that the Captain is Maya's dad, with how they kept his face and presence hidden.


I thought the same when i saw him. He looked very similar to me even if it was just a fast moment.

Anyway this episode was big improvement that the 1st. the first episode was a little all over the place with not much sense but this one established a basic plot into it and had better rhythm. We also seem to have our bad guys and good guys kind of cleared up.
And the plot also seems kind of interesting so it was a big improvement. Am glad is not just some strange stories every episode and that her father wasn't just some crazy guy but actually doing something.

We got a little Maya fanservice too. Her being wet, then the bath and then with the towel around the house.
Also:"You're such a tsund-" "THAT WORD DIDN'T EXSIST IN 1999!" --Hahahaha, nice one lol.

Bad moment was the magic light. That was too easy bricks don't move by themselves. Also i kind of hoped that a comment will be made by her for seeing herself as bones in the future, but nothing was said.

BTW did the creator called her Maya because of the 2012 and calendar of Maya thing?

Cap'n! Thar be plot holes off the starboard bow!

The writing on the mirror is red. Why? Because red looks like blood and blood is creepy. Shuddup.

The spell book activates all by itself just as Maya is being strangled to death by some mysterious entity? Well we can't have the protagonist die, silly...

Come to think of it, why did said mysterious entity even bother to leave a spooky message when she was just going to try and kill Maya anyway? And why retreat out the bathroom, go onto the balcony and then come back in and attack Maya? And... ok, I'll stop now.

To be fair, I shouldn't be too hasty. All these could well be explained in future episodes (knowing my luck they'll even have been explained in episode 3, which I haven't watched yet...). Well, except for the blood writing thing, that I have a suspicion we're just going to have to accept as par for the horror-esque course.

With the exception of all that malarkey, though, a strong episode. #6's character seems... a tad inconsistent, mind. In the future, he's a suave bad ass. In the present, he's Maya's bitch. Unless the future him is just some sort of exaggerated memory version of him, though. Or maybe I'm just imagining things. Well, meh, let's see how he shapes up in episodes to come.

This series is proving to at least be reasonably original in its plot... if less so in its characters. The supporting cast seem interesting enough, but for our protagonists we've basically got a tsundere and her lap-dog. Here's hoping they prove a little more interesting than that. Oh, and also that the painfully obvious betrayal plot with that secretary woman (or whatever her official job description is) turns out to be more inspired than 'secret conspiracy to cause an apocalypse' or variations on that theme.

Mind you, the show does at least seem aware of some of its deficiencies. Prime example: the tsundere reference in the preview. Let's see if this self-awareness translates into an ability to better itself too.

Oh, and because I've yet to devote a whole paragraph to positives: I like the opening sequence. The music is nothing special, but the animation is pleasantly bizarre. And I do have to honestly admit to liking Maya's brea...dth of facial expressions.

Yeah. That's about it. Other than the aforementioned originality of the plot. But at least there's nothing really bad either, just things I'm hoping to see resolved. And it's still miles better than HOTD in my eyes.

The most enjoyable anime of the season with Highschool of the Dead. Everything is top notch, from direction to animation, music, characters and even the script is rather great for a supernatural anime.

The 1st episode was so bad that it was almost 1-click away to my drop list 3/10. But this 2nd episode made it a bit better 5/10.

Anyone wish it was uncen.?? kidding

Secretary introducing Abe to Maya scene - like Maya's frown cyanotic expression.
So the 1st ep scene was #1-5 in 1999. During Abe's speech about 2012.. I was thinking of Doomsday, but good thing they made it a little fictional - Alien invasion.

Commencing investigation moment lol

Abe's receiving a lot of HITS from Maya, eh? lol so funny everytime she do that

"Watch out for space-time storms. They'll strip you naked and might knock you off-course."

Go figure.

The intro to this episode was so hilarious. What's with Abe though? He seemed so macho in the future saying he wouldn't screw up like #5 did. But when he comes to the past he seems really weak.

Anyone want to count how many times Maya slapped Abe in this episode?
