| Good ova, I give 8 ¬‿¬! Waiting the second ova... |
| Singing the opening only works if the opening is awesome! Anyways, nice episode. It says a lot about a show when pretty much nothing significant is revealed yet you enjoy it anyways. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| So,Mero is in elementary school,I thought it was middle school.Or this episode is before the main events happened so that's why she was said to be in elementary school & is now in middle school. |
 |
| Uncensored episode. I thought this episode was actually pretty decent. Compared to the latter 3/4 of the actual anime. |
 |
| He went to a trip and it took him 200 miles to get there, wtf was Rea doing there? |
| Nice prequel on everything, the origins of the book and what I thought was a bit more confirmed that the mother was a zombie or at least an experiment as well "with the cold hands, and not able to feel warmth and having cold hands" either way nice episode It's not 100% what Rea was actually doing in that far distant place, nor the book that well seemingly was written by their grandfather... although they're friend so it might be that and to the looks of it, the accident happened there so it might be right if you take those points in consideration. For the rest a great backstory of the origins and a bit of fanservice! |
 |
| Man I passionately hate Rea's father. |
 |
| So that's where he get the book, his mother's picture led him to it. And he seems to have met Rea before, maybe the shock and embarrassment made him forget the encounter. XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| i seen this ova out of context dint know anything bout the show so the xtra creepy dad thng made not interested. but kot i know alot more bout y i will give the series a try. i wanna make this sound as less creepy as possible but this is definitely 1 of few times i wish they did censor a girl or dint add detail like nips. might not have the same lvl of repulsion for her dad otherwise |

| Good ova. Pretty serious. |

twonline said: Nice OVA... And uncensored goodness... :D Anyway, how the hell did Rea and Chihiro meet at the end, they were at-least 200 miles apart? Yeah, how the hell did that happen? They're supposed to be in some other town. When the butler said the open air bath was ready, I thought it would be somewhere within their estate. Why would she go out of town just for a regular bath. And as I thought, it seems like the mom had turned into a zombie. |
ElPsy said: rea's father, he should die, very slow and painful -.- This. Creepy as hell But her mother? She is even worse |
| Aria was a bitch in this episode. So Rea and Chihiro met once before but were both too scared to realize this lol |
| Omg Rea's father is damn sick. |

| A well done OVA that I actually was told to start the series with. I was confused at who was who but I think I made the right decision. I don't know if I'd recommend it for anyone else though, but to each their own. 3/5 |

| Great OVA episode! So Chihiro and Rea already met before, should’ve known. Sweet moment there, I’m honestly a little bewildered that the two didn’t even catch a glimpse of each other due to the vapours but I’ve never been in an onsen so I wouldn’t really know. A lot of foreshadowing on the mother this episode too, surely she was a zombie and probably was killed(my personal opinion from that flashback of Chihiro’s when trying to recall about the bridge). Speaking of mothers, we got to see a bit more of the dark relationship between Aria and Rea too, which was honestly a little unsettling but nothing too surprising. And the main reason behind it, in other words the father, we got to see a bit more of his sickening hobbies. Yikes, those nude pictures and his expressions were just horrific. Meanwhile, we got our usual dose of cute Mero and cheerful Wanka too. Got to love that first impression where they were singing the last bits of the Op, it was really great! Lol, a lot more memorable and very pleasing moments from these two. A special shoutout to the usage of the Soundtracks this episode! Perfect! Dat eerie music during the moment when Chihiro found the book and that enchancement of the comedic relief during Chihiro getting lost moment were some of the memorable moments in particular. |

| lol @ mero & wanko singing the OP in the car - what a cute touch to an OVA! poor rea :( omg i looooooove that eerie bgm that they keep playing (the one at 14min mark and towards the end when they were leaving in the car) so glad to hear it again! and i got startled by the zombiehand too LOL chihiro being a sloth is SUCH a mood loved this OVA! and that end scene where it cut off with rea screaming into the well was so good. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| OMGG WTF, THAT WAS SO SCARY, IT SENT SO MANY CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE!!! THIS PREQUEL IS SO IMPORTANT! Are you actually telling me that Chihiro and Mero's mom was CUT IN HALF while being caught in metal "handcuffs". That image was so horror, I did not expect that and how that zombie hand suddenly came into focus AND how her eyes were hidden in that image that was blown away by the wind only to fall next to the SECRET BOOK WITH WHICH CHIHIRO REVIVED BAABU AND REA, THE SAME BOOK THAT WAS USED TO RESSURECT THEIR MOM!! It's basically confirmed. Their mom died, her father (the grandpa) tried to revive her with the same method Chihiro used, but failed, making their mother a true zombie, losing control over her body and somehow she was tied to those metal things (either before the resurrection or after she lost control) and killed. That also answers the question, why their grandpa is senile, but the way he reacted to Chihiro when he became normal for a few second wasn't as huge as it should have been. You know what happened with your daughter so you would do anything to warn Chihiro about it, but instead he calmly talked about it. Back to this prequel, no wonder their father never wanted to tell them about their mother, but as Mero said in her episode, she had bandages and her hand was cold, which meant her body was already decaying? Amazing prequel. I WANT THE FULL STORY, PLEASE SEASON 2!! |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Solid prequel episode, visuals even seem slightly more refined than the main series. I just wish there was just a bit more to their first encounter other than Chihiro showing shocked pikachu face and then bouncing outta there. |
