| God, this was one eerie episode... Rena's hand getting squashed from the door, in particular, was really disturbing first up. Followed by those "I'm sorry" to activate the curse? But that beat-up, jeez. I'm having serious doubts that those two are dead though, unless we like go back in time for the remainder of the story (both seasons included) or something of the sort. I wonder what Oyashiro-sama is, in reality. A grotesque monster or an unseen entity, it'll be quite the ride to uncover these mysteries, I'm sure. |

| I think this anime will be fine with loli pretty cute. |
| Holy shit that went brutal real quick |
 |
| Now that was intense!! I knew it was gonna be good when Keiichi slammed the door on Rena's hand! Haha that was amazing! |
 |
| im trying to judge this as its own thing, but as someone who’s read the visual novel, i’m having a tough time doing that. it’s all going much too quickly... |
| Wow... just wow... This show was dark but it went too dark real quick. The way Keiichi beat up Rena and Mion with that bat was brutal. I wonder how dark the other arcs will be since I'm not really into horror. |
 |
| keichi really went all out. rena + mion going crazy. so that's what the scene in the first ep was. did oyashiro-sama remove the missing note? hmm |
| Man this was really intense. |
| So they did just kill off the main characters I guess? So will we have new ones next episode or will it be like Amagami SS, that we'll see a new take on the story with the same characters again? Also I did not pay attention to the year they mentioned, was this the past for the future? Really confusing so far. |
| What an amazing episode! The suspense was brilliantly built up which made this episode so damn good. And I'm not going to pretend that I don't know how this show is structured, because I actually do. So, the timeline is going to be reset in the next episode, huh? We didn't get to see much of Rika and Hojo in first arc. Mion wasn't much explored either. I hope the second arc will focus more on them. |
| That was a pretty satisfying end after all the torment he received. This show is lowkey pretty funny though |
| One second I felt bad for the Girls and the next time I was scared shitless of them. Damn... So are we going to follow with the officer the rest of the series? Is he the main character now? |
| --AbiSa-- |
| Damn what an end. Shit went escalated in a fast way. He was under a halucination. Because Keiichi went too far into the scheme that needed that shady peoples to silenced him, together with the other two damn girls. Holy shit, its a twist. I never expected he got drugged there pretty easily. But why the autopsy showed a negative test of him being drugged? The drug must be so extremely good. Then it must be some kind of a shady syndicate shit behind all of that scene that made them all gone crazy shit. If not what else? Oyashiro-sama? Damn, like, that was an obvious matter in the end. I don't believed that! Unfortunately Keiichi's letter did not reach Oishi san entirely. Yeah, that syringe, the obvious proves. They won't let that thing out of order. I wonder whats the next episode might like? Maybe this is a bad end route to Keiichi, and they might've need to started out everything that happened from the start again? Well since i just fuckin see the next arc, its really obvious its happening. Damn scenarios xD. Lets continued to the next one! |

 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Jesus Christ, if this is how an arc will always end then boy I am in for a ride. That definitely was way different than the GOU version but, pretty much Keiichi ended up with the curse all the same. So, I am assuming Keiichi is pretty much dead also in GOU. Damn, this was so good and eerie. Keiichi closing the door on Rena's hands is uncomfortable as fuck. Fuck, I want to know more. |
 |
| that was a pretty good run he's a bit smarter than most horror protagonists though |
 |
| Jesus Christ that was intense. I don't think I've ever been more at the edge of my seat watching any other anime. Can't believe they killed off half of the main cast in the fourth episode; I wonder where the show is going to go from here. I still have a few questions, especially regarding how Keiichi went insane and started believing in Oyashiro. Hopefully that gets answered later in this show; we still have a lot of episodes left to go. I absolutely cannot wait to see what comes next, partially because I am loving this show right now and also because I am just curious what direction it will take from here with Rena, Mion, and Keiichi gone. |
| If this was one arc, then that was an amazing ending. Loved the whole Keiichi arc. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The WTF factor is strong in this anime. On to episode 5, have no idea what they will throw at us. |
Well Well Well! What an ending to this arc! So happy to experience such a thrill! This show is turning out to be an awesome ride! Just Bat Sh*t Crazy anime! |

| I honestly thought that Keiichi was gonna snap Rena's fingers with that door (0_0) Pretty dumb of Keiichi to just blurt out everything to Mion even though I can understand how frustrated and stressed he would be in this situation. Mion quite literally just confessed that she would have killed Oishi-san. I still don't wanna believe that the girls are some kind of group killers. I still wanna believe that there is some sort of supernatural thing going on. Well, after seeing Rena acting so crazy, I think they are just a group of psychopaths who have some cult-like shit going on Even after all that, I'm still really sad that Mion and Rena are dead. That bat beatdown scene was brutal. Wait so Keiichi actually saw Oyashiro-san?? Is he even real or is it the madness getting to him? And he scratched out his own throat, just like Tomitake... How is the protagonist dead?? |
 |
| I played the game a year ago, so I don't clearly remember what I'm supposed to know in hindsight of the reality, but Very "poor" adaption btw from how rushed it is and spoils Keichi killing Rena and Mion at the intro of the first episode. In the visual novel, we hear everything, but it's all pitch black with no hint of who or why he's hitting something with his bat. ... It skipped a lot of scenes before the dark scenes occur, and completely skipped a fair amount of buildup to Keichi's paranoia. Very underwhelming first chapter adaption compared to the original. |

| holy shit?? that was literally so good wow. im curious as to how it can even go from here, maybe itll go into different routes? no idea but im super interested, what a good episode |
| I'm so shocked.......We still have 22 episodes and the main character died????????? Bro???? |
 |
| The first arc is probably my favorite one from the first season. That door scene is very creepy, I love it. |
