0. Azami, the original Medusa, wished for a world where she and her family could live forever more. However, that decision only hurt people around her, so she decided to leave the real world, towards the Daze. Years later, Shion and Marry died in August 15th. Azami gave the Queen Snake ability (Combining Eyes) to Marry so she could continue to live.

After being "rescued" by Seto who brought her over to Mekakushi Dan, she lived her life happily. However, the Clearing Snake continued to kill her friends. Marry wished to be able to stay with her friends forever so she continued creating time-loops. I assume that because she is not a full Medusa, she cannot create worlds. She can only create time-loops. However, every time she looped, the Snake continued to kill her friends. Thus the tragedy didn't end.

1. Medusa is the name of a race. In Greek myth, it is a monster which has snakes growing out from its hair. Azami is a full medusa, Shion is a half-medusa, and Marry is a quarter-medusa.

2. The antagonist snake is called by Snake of Clearing Eyes. Kuroha is born because that snake possessed Konoha's body.

3. Simply put, the Clearing Snake exists because of people's wishes that it wants to fulfill. It exists as a part of Azami. When there are no wishes anymore, it vanishes. Well, you can probably say that it just wants to stay alive.

4. Actually, all snakes have their own sentience, but the Clearing Snake is the smartest one.

Mekakucity Actors is not a stand-alone anime, but an extension of Kagerou Project. It exists as one of the routes in the story. Manga, light novel, anime, and the songs all have different routes and endings. MCA is just one of those routes.

I did my best, so sorry if I made any mistakes!

So are there other monster races? I know who Medusa is in context of Greek Mythology, but Kagerou seems to be a normal real world where no fantasy exists, until poof you have Azami and her snakes. So is the implication there are others like her just in hiding.

Thanks for clearing up the connection.

Okay so its like - there is a real world with humans and monster, one of the monsters comes upon the humans and eventually creates her own world, but in the original world they could be others. Ok, got it.

Last question, I get LN and the manga, but what are the songs everyone keeps on talking about? Are they like Music Videos or something?
