Anyone alse watching it? I know that the whole story is already resolved and mostly everyone has already reead some summary somewhere, but I managed to stay relatively spoiler-free for this long (Except for knowing who Hanyuu is >_>)
I’m downloading fansubs, but I’m not going to watch it until I can find and finish the first series. I was up to episode 12 before I couldn’t get ahold of new episodes (this was before we had internet better than dial-up). And my friend apparently got rid of the fansubs he had of it, plus it’s lisenced now, so it’s going to be a pain.
The setting is a seemingly happy and peaceful tiny-ass rural village in the 80s. The characters are some kids, both native and from other sities. Suddenly, weird ass terror psychotic shit starts popping up everywhere. Not exactly something you’ll want to watch at night, so to speak.
That’s pretty much the best way to describe it without spoiling. It’s based on a visual novel (That, for once, is not an H game) and I’ve been told that Studio Deen handled the transition into anime somewhat poorly, as you need to pay a LOT of atention and some stuff is presented in confusing ways (For example in Tsumihoroboshi, Rena in makes it sound as if Keiichi was a serial killer, when in fact’s it’s much sillier than that). It’s still fairly entertaning, though a lot of people seem to get bored by it once the OMGWTF starts to wear off.
Unfortunately, I have not managed to remain spoiler-free, so I know how the whole thing ends. I am however, curious to see how Studio Deen handles this second season.
Despite that, I <3 this series a lot. It’s not so gory as to be unwatchable, but there are some parts that made me squirm. I just find the storytelling really gripping, and how there are different ways to examine the scenarios that are presented. I have the entire first season on my hard drive, if anyone wants/needs it.
