There is a girl that gives a letter to you... this isn't just any letter... I'ts a letter from the departed... the final message of the dead to the living...

anyone else picking this series up???

now i must say... after watching the first ep i was literally like...

"What the hell????"

well at least the episode did manage to make me want to watch the next ep... just to find out what the hell is going on...

your thoughts???

Only read about it via anidb and seen some screen caps so far.

Sounds like an interesting concept, horror and mystery. Will need to catch it later before i can comment further.

It's been out for up to 3 episodes so far, right?

hmm.. dunno.. might turn out into another "cute girl" psycho killer fest.

ep1 was okay.. tho i find these combinations rather a bad taste(personal opinion) and already done before..

the whole deal if without the "talking staff" might be a bit better... cant avoid the cute girl part here since its what the story is about..

i think after seeing shinigami no ballad they had to think of a new sidekick for the "messenger".. guess they scratched up a whole lot of cute pet ideas and came up with a talking stick in the end.

this show isn't as bad as ^ makes it out to be. the way the stories (you'll see what i mean if u watch ep 2) are presented flow really well. lot of surprises/unexpected things come up. going to have to see how well they do the next few arcs to see if it's good or not. each arc will center around different groups of people. stand alone arcs? that's how i would describe it i guess.

After watching the first episode, I'm pretty much done with this one. I seriously doubt I'll watch the rest unless there is a lot of positive buzz on this. Even then I doubt I'll be willing to revisit it.

really,i don't know you guys has a bit of dropping an anime just after one ep.I usually watch at least 3 ep before decide.And about this show (have watched ep 2),it is great as far as i see,have a lot of potential.I will keep watching until the end if it continue to keep things like this.

Yes, it does show some affinity with shinigami no ballad. I guess i'll give it a try.

i don't mean anything.I just think that we should give a series at more than one chance to prove themself ^^"
But yeah,different person,different taste,so it can't be helped.Sorry if i was being rude or something.

ep2..

i must admit that was actually pretty good.

i guess i can live with the talking stick being there... even the flashy gun spining thing..

Thought I'd stop by to see if the anime was a thumbs up or thumbs down. 4chan told me to check it out, but now I see otherwise.

up to episode 2, and I can say this series definitely have some twists. It sort of reminds me of school day, and it'll have many short arc story line. Its too emotional for me though, I can't really take depressing stuff like Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien or latin(wish they'd label the series b4 I learn it the hard way). Feels like every arc will be emotional and sad, so I think 1 arc is enough impact on me already.

Don't get me wrong though, its a great series as far as episode 2 goes. I just can't really take sad and depressing anime, but definitely give this series a shot if you like this genre.
