Good stuff.

More interesting than the beginning of Gosick. I struggled to watch Gosick through (though I'm glad I did, stellar ending), but Kami-sama no Memo-chou has me interested right off the bat. I'm looking forward to this one =)

A big improvement for JC Staff compared to their train wrecks lately.

That said, I found some parts of the episode to drag on unnecessarily long. Felt like that JC-Staff-ish kind of dragging on which I find extremely boring.

The plot and such were good, but the boringness really put me off.

Also, better animation budget this time around it seems. I guess JC Staff thought this show would become a success and decided to spend the extra time on it.

I hope you wrote this before seeing the show with subtitles... Comments in spoiler block.

I agree with everything you said about underage prostitution, but don't put out stuff about the show having 13 year-old prostitutes in it if it isn't true. It will give people the wrong impression! Not that it might not have some later on... I think this one is a bit edgy... And I like it!

Yes in fact it was a first RAW shot attempt at assessing the situation. This is my edited part I joined up but in reply to you this is it:


edited version. Apparently I was totally wrong and partially right. Right in the sense that the guy should have committed a suicide as soon as he found out the body of Shouko. That in turn he used ice on her in hopes of preserving her forever is something of a more necrophilia factor to me. Furthermore IMO it was the guy's fault for not getting that other half of Shouko according to her testimony she always though that Satoshi only had half of her and never all of her.

Wanna know why? What virgin innocence one has lost and one considers part of itself may never be taken back less all the ones that took it are gone. Interesting enough it would have been better for Satoshi to kill one by one the contacts that took his sweet love's innocence little by little. Unfortunately in the end he gets arrested and gets in mild shit that may have been avoided in the first place or could have been far more worth it should he have killed all these scumbags.

Now I am curious as to knowing if Miku is a virgin or not? After all, what she did may have been only setups with these clients. One thing fopr sure is that Miku did check out if the clients would come around. I think she may be a virgin because of that balcony jump but perhaps due to the situation it may not be the case. Thus ends my second analysis and conclusion. Satoshi failed to prevent the suicide of his girlfriend therefore should have amended for his failure by suicide or revenge on those scum fucks that robbed Shouko of her innocence.

Now what do you think of it?

In regards to the 13 years old, buddy IRL there were cases of grade school kids doing compensated dating and in quote "We live in a twisted world" Yuuko was completely right because we do live in a twisted world and I sometimes wonder if Shouko got the right therapy and drugs, as in legal, would she be better and more stable with a relationship together with Satoshi? The answer is YES! She ought to have had a chance at least with treatment.

I really liked the first episode, seems pretty serious with a lighter side which is a plus. All the characters seem pretty interesting and I'm looking forward to see how they get fleshed out later in the series.

Yeah, I agree with that's what he should have done because putting her on ice and then pretending to look for Shoko with Miku didn't really make sense to me..."being with her forever" didn't seem like a good excuse. But then again, if he did that it would make the case pretty easy to solve and there wouldn't have really been any mystery. I think they should have come up with a better reason as to why he was helping Miku in the first place (unless I missed that).

This was a really boring start. The characters seem to be uninteresting, and the main male character is just an unimportant guy. The only person which cought my attention was Alice, but she is not as clever as she seems to be. It's easy to collect data on your computer if you are a computer nerd. And she cannot leave her room despite the fact she calls herself a detective? If the series doesn't get better I will drop it.

Every good writer, or someone who works in the industry knows, that a 80% positive response is godly. Nothing else really matters.

And well, say what you want about otaku pandering, but theyre the ones buy the dvds. If this was made in america, alice would a fat, ugly, bald, middle age guy in his 40s with 2 kids. And it would be called Detective Family.

this episode kind of reminds me of that other anime "Otaku no Video", where some dude meets a couple of otakus and ends up becoming one of them.

except, instead of otakus, its NEETs. and instead of doing otaku related things, they are solving mysteries.

Seems like a mix of Durarara! + Gosick. She talks like Victorique and relies on technology just like L from Deathnote.

Wearing her gothic dress reminded me of Sunako from Shiki.

Well, it wasn't special. Let's just wait and see how things turn out next eps.

What? Seriously... Dont compare this crap to Stein:Gate's first episode.


When the female lead tries to give her DEEP speech I was like oh god here it goes starting of another crap show. Then the last bit with the changing... sums up how bad and boring it was that it needed fan service. Beta male MC and retarded female MC... just awesome.

agree.

there's a difference between a tryhard first episode and a introduction first episode , the later will probably get better , while this could get even worse.


hope we are wrong.

Loved it. 47 minutes of detective drama and great characters. Narumi really reminded my of Kyon as well. Getting dragged into all of this against his will.

It was kinda hard to follow after a while because of the similar characters, but that's just because of this arc. Loving the Gosick-ish theme in a modern setting though! Gotta wait two weeks for the next one! =(

And on another note; 1000th post! >w<

Strangely enough, the first 12 minutes really reminded me of some SHAFT, too, especially after having just finished Denpa recently. Quick angle shifts? I don't know, probably me going dumb at 1 AM in the morning.

Me too. I keep having the SHAFT feeling throughout this show. I shall use this as a substitute for a SHAFT-less season.
