| Great first episode, will be following this one. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| When i saw this in the new season line up I wasnt sure if i was going to like this. But it's actually really good. Can't wait for the new episodes to come out. |
 |
| Not too surprisingly the episode was even better with dialogue. I really liked Yakumo's character, he's not a complete white knight even though he seems to be a good guy. Enjoyed the cast and the dialogue, I thought it was well written. The mystery about who the killer was and the confrontation with him was a little weak but all in all a good debut. And whatever sense of disbelief is required suspended I thought the moment on the rooftop was touching and visually interesting with the blazing inferno around them. And is it just me or does Yakumo run like a girl? :P |
| Well that was rather thrilling. I think I'll stick with this. |
 |
| Hmmm, a bishounen who acts like a stuck up faggot, now I understand why this is a shoujo. |
| I love it! |
| Decent episode. But i am looking forward to what's next. Hope it gets better. |
| Great episode, can't wait for next. Somehow the showline abit different from the manga. But well, i still like it! :D |
| I thought it was a good first episode. I didn't read the manga so it's all new to me. I hope there's a higher quality release eventually, but whatever! Beggars can't be choosers. |

| Standard fare. Apart from good bgm everything else was run-of-the-mill. I lol'd at , unfortunately not unusual, pink-haired siblings. Horror/detective anime, yeah.... 3/5 |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| Thus begins my curiosity to see if Beetrain can produce a good show for a second time after they redeemed themselves with Phantom. As with every other show by them the music is the first thing worth noting. Really nice OP song and bgm, which again tends to sound more empowering than what is actually being shown lol. I'm not convinced on the mystery aspect yet, I hope they improve on it later on seeing how obvious as day this episode's was. Just an okay episode for now. Despite how much I liked Phantom I'm still being wary... this is Beetrain afterall. |
 |
| I don't think i have loved a first episode as much as this..It is the exactly the kind i like.Psychic,dark and mysterious..It is definitely going to be awesome.Although there are some differences with the manga it still is as exciting and captivating as the manga was.. |
 |
| I really like the music. and the story is great too. and I can't wait for the next episode ^^ |
   |
| pretty good i think :) |
 |
| good first episode. |
 |
| Not bad for a first episode lets see how it develops. It reminded me of Ghost Hunt in a way. The red eye kind of makes things more lame than better though since we are getting sick of special eyes in the anime manga world. We accepted he could see souls even with out the red eye gimmick. There was no need for it. BTW that killer was one big sissy. But i guess it was a given since he was going after poor little schoolgirls. And WTF did he use to cover his eye? He never heard of color contact lenses? What was that metallic thing? I found the girl to be a very attractive character. She's down to earth and smart enough. Rarely we see a sweet girl like her that is also so realistic. She escapes the typical girl archetypes we see in anime. On the other hand the guy isn't unsympathetic and he manages his creepy role perfectly but he doesn't escape the typical archetype at all. His your very common sharp tongue smexy bishonen mysterious guy that anyone would expect from a guy in an anime in such position. So basically i don't have much of a problem with him but his basically uninteresting as fuck because despite the big mystery atmosphere around him, his mystery figure is as typical as it can get in the world of anime. Now we saw some big evil guy in the end so i assume the whole anime won't be independent mystery stories each episode but a central plot running threw all episodes will be established. |

| They definitely cut out a lot of stuff from the manga version and in a way it's sort of lost the suspense that was found in the manga. I don't know how this will all play out in the greater picture of the anime, but I'm still a bit unsure about this one. But since it's Bee Train, I think it's got a lot of potential, hopefully it won't be wasted. |
| The opening rocks, and his attitude is just awesome xD ! |
| Great first episode! It sorted of reminded me of Ghost Hunt with a mixture of Jigoku Shoujo... Haha. |
| Way too rushed but it looks pretty good. Starting it at 6/10, really hope the pace improves though. |
Linalee-Stratos said: ha ha ha....Actually i was wondering ,ilikeyouevenmore said: I know! In the manga, after the girl said 'they are beautiful', Yakumo was supposed to look startled and say 'this is the 1st time someone has said something like this'. Basically giving a little development between the two. But if you think about it, showing a a lovey-dovey scene in the 1st episode would definitely be weird.There were some rather strange choices made for the anime. What was with that leisurly chat on top of a burning building? Would have liked it more if Yakumo would have passed on the sister's msg through words. |
| I was going to overlook this one but end up watching it because of the main character. It really reminds me of Ghost Hunt btw. Also the OP is awesome. |
| Interesting first episode the music really stood out to me. I need to see a few more episodes to get a feel for the show though . |
| Potential is there. Let's see how it goes. |

What was with that leisurly chat on top of a burning building? Would have liked it more if Yakumo would have passed on the sister's msg through words. I kept wondering about that too. I mean, it takes all the suspense out of story. I think the part where he gets hit and bleeds is actually important for the character development: Haruka thought his eye was red because he was bleeding and then he tells her his eye is like that and she's not scared and doesn't find it disgusting like other people do. That was my favorite scene from the manga and they didn't put it in the anime :/ Exactly! They didn't even explain why the teacher killed her friends or anything. And it doesn't make much sense that she was with them in the first place. They didn't explain the title of the episode. There was no suspense at all. When I was reading the manga I first thought it was that janitor guy who killed the girl, but in the anime it was too easy to find out who it was. They didn't even show the teacher pushing Haruka's friend on to the rail tracks... |
 |
| Not bad, not bad. It wasn't totally amazing, but I'll probably watch it through to the end. |
shanimebib said: I will continue this one and hopefully it will deliver. not amazing for a first episode (like bakuman or star driver) but could be one of the best anime of this season. ^_^ agreed. i think the first episode of bakuman was better but as u said, this could be one of the best anime this season |
 |
| Oh my...this was really bad. I see "generic" written all over it. Generic characters, generic plot devices, generic everything. One of the worst starts this season. |
| A definite fall season win! Can't wait for the next ep! |
 |
| Wow that was fast. O.o I feel like they crammed a story for an entire series into one episode. O.o I hope the pacing slows down a bit. It was pretty good though, I liked it. Characters look nice and well-developed. The story for this episode seemed good, but it just felt a little rushed. They could've made this an arc of like 3-4 episodes. If they slow down this can get really good. ED is gorgeous. |

Can't help but second this. My thoughts exactly. It somewhat reminds me of the Ghost Hunt's first episode, same characters and all. It was weak - that's about it. I hope that it will get only better, because even though this wasn't enough to make me drop the series... if it gets any worse, I'll drop it immediately. |
     |
| I liked it. Like you said, it wasn't an instant win like Bakuman, but I'm looking forward for the next episode. And Yakumo is hot u.u |
| very very good first episode but lets see what will happen with the two red eyed guy |
 |
| As for first Episode, I like it! I'll watch it till the end. 5/5 ^_^ |
   |
| I'm already loving this :) It can continue this way :D |
| Badges here :) |
| I'm ok with this anime; it is not the "OMG BEST ANIME EVER", nor the shittiest one. It's pretty decent and watchable. Will keep watching until the end (hopefully?!). |
| At first I was like ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ. But then I was like ┐(￣ー￣)┌. |
| this is most definitely an interesting anime! |
| One of my favourite genres~ Loving this already! |

One of the worst starts this season. ...Have you seen Yosuga no Sora? Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls? Because they definitely had worse first episodes. Anyways, I thought the exact opposite. This one definitely has some of the most potential, behind Bakuman. |
| It would have been a lot of better if they slow thing down a bit. Not that I am confused or lost but they are just too fast to really feel anything at all. And this show is just so like Bee Train. Oh well I am prepared for the worse. |

 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Decent episode, it was a little too fast paced but I think the plot is interesting and the characters are likeable. I'm gonna keep watching~ |
 |
| Looks okay. Didn't remember the pink hair though. |
| Wow, that felt like a recap episode. Not only it was rushed, it actually looked like half of the scenes were missing. The characters arrived at conclusions very fast and rather randomly, but it was still kinda predictable because we weren't given any other options to consider before getting straight to the point. I'm kind of let down by this. :/ I hoped for a nice, dark and thrilling Fall anime, but this reminds me too much of Ghost Hunt... which I didn't like. |
| im loving this so far its kinda giving me a ghost hunt kind of feel and i love that |

Angel_-_Lily said: I didn't like it..and It wasn't what I expected!! They skipped a lot of things of the manga {>-<} yes they did skip lots of stuff but they created a beautiful atmoshere with AMAZING music and really good animation and voice actors. At last a show that doesn't have pantsu and other stupid fluffy stuff every second of it! I was waiting for it with anxiety and it didn't dissapoint me in the slightest. Actually I dare say the feeling here is better than this in the manga. At least so far.. 5/5 from me. It looks like a hell of a ride! :) |
