I'm going to reserve talking about it until something really happens. Sure the art is good, but I'm not a person to post screencaps.

>>8252Stuff did happen! But, yeah, it was more of an introduction to the world. There's basically setting the mood. I thought it used some really good techniques to set the atmosphere, like this scene for police lights.
I'm going to give it a few more days before I start dumping stuff, but I was really impressed.

>>8371>It looks great...I imagine some of the visuals are directly from the manga, like this view that cropped up a few times with different coloring. It seems very much like a thing a manga would do. I looked at the thread on anilist briefly before the episode came out and it seemed like a common fear that people were worried that it wouldn't transfer to anime well.
I haven't looked at the manga so I can't compare, but I can say the anime looks truly amazing with fantastic style. How much of it is taken directly from the manga and how much is creative embellishment is maybe something I'll have to compare later on.

Seeing something mainstream and so nonchalantly yaoi is interesting for a change. Normally just gets stuffed to the backchannels.
The fujo crowd must be dying for something since Gundam went Yuri

This is still really great, even if the rest of the season is amazingly strong as well. This episode really has been the culmination of everything sort of coming together. I think it's been great to watch Hikaru slowly struggle with the idea of life vs death after the incident with Kaoru. He says he doesn't really get it but at the same time there's a nagging feeling that's eating at him over it, enough so that he gave part of himself over to Yoshiki to stop himself from killing. He's got at least some sort of sense to understand that what he did affected Yoshiki enough to make him pull the act he did, and now he's caught up in the question of "what doth life" as it seems the frailty of being human is somewhat affecting him in subtle ways, although I have no idea what's going on with after the end of today's episode because being beheaded seems a step above the norm in injuries.

>>10561It's alright, I've been gaming and studying so much that I've been extremely tardy on all the anime I've wanted to watch so I haven't been posting about it as much either...

>>8382Maybe Parasyte was actually a series based on japanese spirit religion than it was a story about nature

>>10823Don't think I ever liked glasses guy.
The MurderVillage things was somewhat anticipated, but the Hikaru parts of it and how everyone is going to fit together into the narative is very interesting

>>10826Glasses guy seemed like the typical antihero. Hikaru did eat someone in the first episode and he seemed to be tracking the monster that did it, so you're sort of rooting for him to prevent other people from dying. The barrier around the festival definitely made him seem like he's protecting the village, but his motivations in doing it now seem questionable.
I'm guessing he
directly serves or possibly might be a some sort of god or otherworldly entity, hence his organ sacrifice thing or however that works. Maybe?
