And so, the road to becoming the most overused anime begins.

This is defientely one of the better horror, mystery series and would have been a masterpiece if the art and animation from Studio DEEN didn't suck ass at certain critical moments.


lol, true. However, some of the weird art did give something to the show. I mean, when the eyes get all droopy and out of proportion did scare the shit out of me at times. It tells you when something bad is about to happen, and it never lied.

With my limited knowledge of Japanese, I think it means something like "Cat Murder Change"

interesting....
Ranch dressing.
I challenge you to sit there and really examine the taste of it with your tongue and tell me what it's made out of, without looking at the bottle.
It doesn't taste like what it's made out of, does it?

That sounds rather.....odd. :|

Makes me wonder what the OVA is going to be about.

well the "hen" in this case would be the equivalent to an arc. So, it should be the length of 3-5 episodes.

Neko Koroshi Netsu would be Cat Kill Fever. So Nekokoroshi-hen would be the Cat Killing Arc. Killing cats? o_O

Maybe some theme of curiosity's price in that one.

I swear more people have died in this series then a rambo movie.

In the 3rd question arc alone the body count was staggering.

I don't know whether I should be scared or excited. This show scared the crap out of me once,twice... about 100+ times. Can I really take more of this?

I have a feeling that second season will have that the detective's daughter in it. Just a feeling. She kinda appeared and never really had any shot in the show, except that she lived even after her mom died carrying her.

Oooh. Prophecy.

Well. The last two arcs are really amazing. (Because first season only went through 6 arcs. The game had 8. So I'm guessing that the second season will contain the last two). I spoiled the whole thing to myself byreading it on Wikipedia. So if you really can't wait to watch it, then you can read about it there. It's really eye-opening. You find out who the 'real' killer is and why that person did it.

Extreme Spoilers.
IT WAS THAT SLUT TAKANO THE WHOLE TIME. SHE NEVER DIED! Oh and.. Rika + Time Stop = awesome.

I pretty much spoiled myself on the ending because I thought there won't be a second season of sort. Man, I timed it badly! :x

On another note, I did suspect Takano throughout all the scenarios and figured that she faked her own death.

Really great horror & mystery serie. That final scene with Rika was spooky though, just as you think everything ended.;)

Rena is definitely the best character. Still, her feline eyes are just wicked. Why are girls with orange hair always psychos (Kaede)?:D

And for god's sake, CURSE (please, not by Oyashiro-sama) my curiosity... i read the last two spoilers.:(
