| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The preview made me go WTF? If there is a Yaoi scene (kissing or something) i'm automatically dropping this. |

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| He was about to rape him but then he stopped and went back to normal. I guess I"m slightly more interested in this now. I really want to know what the fruit is for. |
| L5 ftw! That was way too creepy x_x; Usually homo scenes are funny, but this just went way beyond the limit.. I hope that medicine Hiroshi got isn't some drug that makes him wanna kill himself.. |
[right] |
porkypink said: Usually homo scenes are funny I thought it was hilarious. I'm predicting that the girl in the wheelchair will be the next person who tries to rape Hiroshi. |
| One troll after another with this anime x_X... I was expecting more of a horror feel, but this, this is just... |
| the sweater sniffing is a bit over the top imo |
asdf1248 said: Jouga Syndrome, anyone? Supressed only by the queen bee scent of hassaku ;)? My thoughts exactly. |
| scariest episode yet with the guy on guy stuff |
| This is one creepy ass anime . . . [X_X] . . i was scared for that poor lil kid |
| THe successor to Higurashi is turning out to be even worse than what Umineko was last season. Seriously... *edit: Typo |

| WTF Did I Just Watch |
 |
| Creepy, very creepy. The tale of Hiroshi the walking piece of meat continues. |
 |
| Well now we know what role the hassaku play. This episode gave me mixed feelings about my previous assumption. Now it seems apparent that the towns people are either being experimented on by the head clinic or they all somehow got infected with a virus that causes them to act like wolves. I'm still not sure what the old side of the town is all about. Originally I posted that I thought they where the only real humans but now I'm not so sure. |

| At least it was different. The almost yaoi rape scene scared the shit out of me. However, I understood the possibility of him being attracted to Hiroshi since he looks like a girl and is voiced by one. |
| I'd appreciate it if we got more than just a few flashes of scythe girl at the end of the episode cause she's the best part of this show (besides figuring out just wtf is going on) Oh yay, more crazy yaoi next week. |

Yeah, I was about to drop this show unless something in particular interesting happens. And I guess it did in a different kind of way. |
Kira_Yamato619 said: is me or hiroshi is acting like a fucking douche bag the guy try to rape him , her was like no please stop dude why not just punch him a the face but still i think hiro is a idiot ROFL. I was thinking the same. If a guy put his hand on my lap with no clear intention as a joke my fist would be at his face. |
| i personally cracked up. best episode yet. |
| The scene between Nemuru and her grandfather reminded me a bit, still wondering about the why behind what causes everyone who was born in the area to be attracted to Hiroshi...But not so much his sister. There's probably something yet to be revealed, the Sakaki man from the Bio Technology scene seems to hint at more along the lines of how Higurashi ran... Although goodness, first the swimsuits, then Issei's infatuation with the sweater...Geez, I know Ryukishi's plots are known for their gruesome view on violence, but this is a whole different creeper territory in my book...Slightly paranoid about how far it'll be taken, because too much and I think it might make people completely lose track of the plot...><;; Heck, unless that's what it's supposed to do. In which case, a well-planned move. ^^; |
     |
| Oh yeah, the doctor is Zaraki Kenpachi/Hasegawa-san! I'd recognize that voice anywhere. |
| |
| I lol'd pretty hard at how he kept smelling the sweater XD |
 |
| The purpose of hassaku was hinted at in this episode. And I assume there is also some sort of experimentation going on in the background. I'm guessing these wolves/people are trying to become completely human. What I don't get is, why all the wolves/people are only interested in Hiroshi, not his sister, dad, or Kaname. Is it just because Hiroshi smells better? Answering that sometime soon would be nice. |
 |
| I'm sorry...how exactly is this show creepy? This has now gone to B movie bad. So it's greatly entertaining on that level. But, then to come here and read some of these comments is just icing on the cake. That aside, I guess we've narrowed down the relationship between the hassaku and the townspeople. I don't see how the people are being experimented on (directly turning into wolves), since I feel like everything is pointing in the direction of the people using drugs (with essence of hassaku...since they're orange too...hurr durr) as a suppressant of the (let's just say) animalistic impulse (see what I did there). Nemuru's job is most likely to ritualistically dispose of particularly psycho ones that pose a threat. None of this, though, really factors in the old side of town. They're the wild card. edit: I kind of like Annisa's theory. |

| This episode: Awkward. Starting to get annoyed with the lack of central plot progression. Let us get back to how episode 1 ends and take off from there, thank you. I really hope that this whole anime isn't going to be devoted to the main guy little girl being chased around while being protected the entire time while he does nothing but complain. He was barely able to swallow a pill without looking like a priss. :L Seeing as all the other notable characters in the anime are girls or apparently homosexual, I might as well be watching a shoujo. *headdesks* How I'm seeing this is that the large jouga wolves that Hiroshi's dad was talking about, somehow found a way to become human through the local hospital and that odd technolyze company to stay on their land, or actual normal humans would take it over and take it from them. Yanno, the whole 'can't-beat-em-join-'em' stick. The hassaku are being used in medicine as a suppressant like Dhero said, and this is reaffirmed by the doctor guy talking to the girl who's obviously the scythe chick. I'm just wondering where the interesting part is going to come in and whether it will before Hiroshi gets raped by Issei. |

| Lol, what a creeper. Well, half of this is still boring as shit, but the mystery is intreguing enough to keep me around. Now taking bets on who will try to molest Hiroshi next~ |

Maximatum99 said: At least it was different. The almost yaoi rape scene scared the shit out of me. However, I understood the possibility of him being attracted to Hiroshi since he looks like a girl and is voiced by one. LOL @ that, and I reveiewed it here. This episode was good for plot progression. I copied this from my blog, but here's a list of stuff I know now: 1.) Dr. Kushinada = Nemuru’s uncle, and he has something to do with the murders, as he seems to order Nemuru to do them. There’s always that nagging possibility that it isn’t her, though. This is Ryukishi, so showing her in all the suspicious scenarios in the world doesn’t make her the culprit. Just a thought. 2.) The hassaku. In the first episode, when all the students were “circling” Hiroshi, the wind blew and they stopped. In the second episode, Isuzu stopped coming on to Hiroshi after the wind blew. And in this one, Issei stopped coming onto Hiroshi after the juice container thingy broke open. The scent of the oranges keeps the “wolves” at bay, and since the hassaku harvest was poor this year, (as stated by Dr. Kushinada) more “wolves” are showing up. 3.) Mysterious man = Sakaki. I still don’t know why his medical business stuff is relevant. 4.) Issei has to take some kind of medicine, perhaps for his severe love of shotas? LOL, but seriously, he has to take it for something. And his sweater sniffing is creepy. 5.) Isuzu annoys me. 6.) Hiroshi completely and utterly fails at fishing. 7.) There's now one person in the ED that hasn't been shown yet. That's really all I got for this episode. I'm looking forward to the next one =) |
 |
| The yaoi was pretty weird... I wonder what the next episode has in store for us.... |
| so i'm guessing everything has to do with: wolf deities who ensure a good harvest through sacrifices or something, and hassaku has a calming effect on them |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Seems like the hassaku have something to do with being a wolf o-oll |

asdf1248 said: Jouga Syndrome, anyone? Supressed only by the queen bee scent of hassaku ;)? Painfully obvious. Either that or Ryukishi's trolling. Are you serious? The guy almost freaking raped you and you just let it slide with 'I'm joking'? What is this I don't even Also, was that Madao as Nemuru's uncle? And yay, they finally introduce the whiskey guy. |

| Hiroshi is so girly that Isuzu's pimp brother was attracted to him, huh? |
 |
| Meh-ish episode, expected a lot more. The rape scene was creepy in a weird way. But seriously, why the hell didn't Hiroshi hit Issei? hirahira said: He was about to rape him but then he stopped and went back to normal. I guess I"m slightly more interested in this now. I really want to know what the fruit is for. I thought you dropped it? |

| Ah yes this show is getting better...no not really my entire reason for watching it (scythe girl) barely gets any screen time >.> Well overall i made a few things clear: 1) Hiroshi is retarded ...thats about all Anyway ill continue watching and hope for the best =/ |
| This episode was nothing special, but the preview for the next episode was pretty promising as we saw the scythe girl there. Maybe we can finally get to the killing and stuff? |
| The show is getting better to me. We got some good plot progression in this episode. Hopefully next episode we will learn some more truth like what is Nemuru role in this. |

Jumperboy333 said: Meh-ish episode, expected a lot more. The rape scene was creepy in a weird way. But seriously, why the hell didn't Hiroshi hit Issei? I'm assuming the fact that the seatbelt was stuck is why he didn't just run out the car either. |
| |
| Issei freaks me out. He's so scary :( I mean, look: Izusu is the new Yuka. With her ugly voice, horny personality and fat ass, she is either is a whore or just born to be. UGH. Look; After watching 3 episodes of her, I feel ashamed to be a girl : ( |
I know he lies under my bed right now, and just waits for me to go to sleep, so he can rape me. It's fact. 
Isn't that just he fatest ass you have ever seen? | I get the feeling that tsumuhana is the wolf tribe......If this is true,then hassaku festival have more meaning in it. I now only notice that the 12 chinese zodiac is carve on the blade of the scythe. Hiroshi seem to be targeted(observed)....during the fishing,hospital also...very mysterious~~ (actually the plot is easily grasp(example camera focus,sound effect,color and etc).....unlike Tatakau Shisho ) The scythe girls are on the move and the hassaku festival is coming......hehee i bet Nemuru is the scythe girl and the government is observing Hiroshi because he has something to do with the wolf clan <<( this is a very wild guess ) |

| I'm wishing a certain character is going to be killed off down the line and that seems to be the only reason I'm grasping to right now to continue this show. "Hopefully certain person will be killed off later....and then I'll laugh. HARD and then celebrate cuz the show will be in a better place" <---oh yeah....that's what's going through my mind right now in terms of the ONLY motivation I have left to watch this show....at this point.... |
:3 |
| What the heck did I just watch?! I could of swore that a yaoi rape scene was about to happen. And that sweater scene was.......creepy. I'm scared to see what's going to happen next. |
 |
| Giving it 2 more episodes. This is shit man. |
| I think the real question should be who are those people in the old town, are they human or wolves? Since we have mixed people in the new town and it doesn't seem there is any Hassaku tree in the old town either. It could be like by coming the new town they believed that they can live more like a normal human but instead they are being trapped in this Hassaku tree cage. And the Hassaku itself is also a questionable, it is a normal fruit or a experimental fruit? |
