| This is one one of the worst first episodes I've seen in awhile. The whole thing was just a giant pretentious mess tied together with awful characters, poorly written pseudo intellectual dialogue non existent world building and massive fucking plot conveniences. The only thing this show has going for it is that it's dark and weird, but it's dark and weird like an angsty middle schooler who just read their first Shakespeare play. I'd say the highlight of the episode was the Detective's dream sequence, but even that was a bit goofy more than it was terrifying or creepy. The whole reincarnation, I'm you, you're me, is just so god damn dumb and the gullibility of the MC for believing so easily and all the things that followed because of it were just god damn dumb. That concept could be amusing, but when the characters relationship is so paper thin and the show's method of establishing this belief between the two is also as thin it doesn't work. I'm mildly tempted to watch an episode or two more to see if the remaining characters can pull this mess into something watchable but if this is what they've setup as the foundation for the entire show that's a bad sign for what's to come. |
| What the actual fuck is going on ?! |
| Okay. That was bad. I came hoping to see a good detective show and instead I get some pseudo-supernatural bullshit, with no explanations or world-building at all. Only thing that'll keep me going further is the ending which seemed to hint that the "she's my past life" mess is an actual thing, not just an angsty teenage delusion. |
| Well that was a Nice start. This show looks good. Let's see what lies ahead. |

| This is confusing AF! What happened to the first guy in the train? |

This show has some pretty art More screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/2PNmLzI Quite the twisted relationship these two girls shared. I wonder if the story will continue from where this left off or if it will be episodic. |
| Wow! That was a interesting start. I wonder how this will connect with the summary. Will the girl run away now or something. |
| I’m more lost than a turtle right now. The detective’s dreams are something else tho. Hardcore PTSD right there. |

Lockensocke said: I think they tried too hard to create mysterious athmosphere without even making a build up to the character, which made the whole first epiosde kinda boring. First at the end where stuff is finally happening i kinda got interested. The part with the guy in the train having this nightmare was definitly the best scene in the entire episode. The rest was just 2 chicks taking way too much crack and talking absolute nonsense. PrOxAnto said: My opinion in a nutshell.Not sure what's going on, to be fair I was kinda feeling bored throughout the episode. I was more interested in the first scene in the train (head in the box) than the girls that are each others reincarnation. I guess I'll see where this is going. Picked this up for the creepy mystery story × vintage setting × hot guys, so far we got some 'eek' and 'wtf' moments, not much else. Don't care for shoujo-ai subtext and the girls are not likeable. Didn't even know it was Clamp-designed, neither happy or unhappy, looks nicely animated but I will never dig their modern art style. Fortunately here it's much more prominent on the female characters. The dancing sequence was awkward. Lastly, that atrocious ED with a lame-ass smells like teen spirit riff, I will gladly skip. |
