RIP wine.

Mm, more characters are introduced including Mari. Voiced by Kana Hanazawa too.
"Onii-chan". What. The music wasn't bad I guess.

Not bad, better than the first two episodes. I'm just glad that my least favourite arc in the series is now finished with.

It's nice that they continued on from where they left it on Episode 2.
So we get introduced to the Mekakushi Dan, Kido, Kano, Seto and Flufball Marry

RIP Phone
And "Onii-chan" o_o

The animation in this episode is by far the best among all of the earlier acts.
I still think ep 1 is kinda low-budget.

There isn't much OST? But hey, at least we get Blindfold Code!

Hyping for act 04: Kagerou Days where the real story begins!

I enjoyed this week's episode. It was a bit confusing at the end, the realisation didn't help to understand what was going on. I had trouble getting where were the characters. Kido was so funny, she seems to enjoy striking poses x) There were KanoKido and SetoMary moments so I'm happy :3
Next week is Kagerou Days. My body will never be ready...

Ah, I don't even give a hell about the animation again, since it's better this way. Anyway, the third episode is awesome! Now let's wait for Kagerou Daze, where the true fun begins!!!

So that's what happened. Even though this made the first episode make so much more sense the show so far is still meh. I don't think I'll ever get used to the color. Feels like a 20 minute animated music video.

Really enjoyed this episode. Introduced the Mekakushi Dan and actually gave some concrete information on the powers.
Kido and Kano are awesome. Also, the way everything is connecting is interesting. Excited for Kagerou Days next episode.

I didn't even realize that they were siblings.
I liked the "hitting the head part". Kido seems pretty cool.
A tad confused at the end on what was happening but it was still great.

People with powers and has red eyes when used... can't wait for next episode!

All the Kano, and all that laughter. He makes everything so lighthearted and with that voice I was just rolling, especially when he was doing all that to Kido, and then even the part with Marry. I cant wait until more join mekakushidan.

Visually best part was when we reached the mall and things got going. Easily still my number one.

And Hibiya next week, previous, cant wait especially after last episodes tease.

Well, that was certainly more enjoyable than the first 2 eps. The whole thing is still very rushed though, Kagerou Days next episode and Shintaro appeared only once so far. And he is supposed to be the MC of this show.

Oh, and nice Blindfold Code insert. It was done so much better than Kisaragi Attention.

Why so messy?!?! If I hadn't read the manga I think I'd barely be able to grasp what the hell just happened at the end XD

But well still better than last ep.

It was nice seeing the MekakuDan interactions :D They're really fun esp Kano and Kido. Flustered Kido is cute :3

And Kano is such a tease as usual hehe ^^

It was nice how they connected this ep to the first ep. And Momo seeing Shintaro apologizing to Kido and Kano laughing his ass out was lol XD

So nxt ep is Kagerou Daze O_O SHIT WILL GET REAL!

I feel bad for not actually really enjoying this episode when I was looking forward to it a lot. The animation was so....distracting? My eyes were trying to decipher what was going on with that and got distracted from the actual show haha. I spent the first few minutes laughing at Kido's abnormal stances. Still getting used to them changing all the BGs and stuff. One thing I liked about Kagepro was how the settings seemed so normal, like their hideout and stuff. Now it is just so ~*~anime~*~ I kind of cringe. :C

I love how they insert the songs from the series. It makes me smile each time though I guess this will be a consistent thing in each ep. I love seeing the characters interact too nice and animated! Mary is so cute. Also I love the voice acting! Nice to see the Dan in action.

Next episode should be great though I hope!! O: It's Kagerou Days so you really can't go wrong there ahhhh I look forward to it!

Haha, gotta love Kano :) His teasing and jokes are fun to watch. Momo came up with a pretty good plan, I like how well Momo and Mary's powers worked together.

Same here...them poses are hard for me to take seriously, as well as the slow hair flowing. I also agree about how the setting doesn't look normal at all, it's just part of SHAFT I think. I mentioned the same thing in Nisekoi, how their school doesn't represent a regular school at all.

Everything I watched finally makes sense.

Don't really understand why people are saying it's hard to understand what was going on. Once it became clear that everybody had super powers and what they were as Marry went into slow mo trip I knew what was going to happen. Hopefully the next arc lives up to the hype I'm seeing.

I see, so they actually left small part of last scene from Kisaragi Attention (Kido approaching Momo) and put it in Mekakushi Code episode so it feels better.Nice idea, and even tho they changed lots of things from original (like whole convo in Mekakushi Dan base) i have to say that i really liked it (not entirely, but yeh).I have to stop underestimating Jin i guess, lol.Also, gotta love Mekakushi Code, one of my favourite KagePro songs.

Next week...freaking Kagerou Days.Guys, get ready for epicness and feelings.

I feel like I understand a little why you guys are disappointed by the graphics and the animation. To say: next to the monogatari series, it's not nearly as good. (and poor Seto whose face has been distorded in many ways.)
But let's keep in mind Shaft always does that (just look at Madoka) and they're adaptating more than one series at the same time.
Besides that, I really enjoyed this episode, especially the Mekakushi Code scene. I really like this song, and I really, really like the anime so far.
I think it's a good adaptation. Let's see if they'll do a good work with only 12 episodes.

I enjoyed the shows first 2 eps as a yeah'll i'll keep watching mindset but now I love this show. Some will just never love shaft so they are lost causes. I'm loving all the characters, you could really get a great feel of each character just from the short conversation they had together, it was quite wonderful. Maybe I'm getting a little too passionate but at least atm I'm in love with this show.

Personally I really LOVE unique feels to the art/animation and thats what this show has, so loving it all the more.

Also doesn't hurt that HanaKana is killing another role.
