Episode 2 – The Cost of Honour

This was an interesting episode, it was much more interesting than episode 1 in my opinion.

The plot thickens in this episode and we know that Gerd is not the only human that can turn into a Al(something) (those monsters).

And we know that he is not the first one. Basically, while they might have their soul, my guess is that they either stray from the path of being human and lose to their demonic insticts or something. At least that is what the guy with the black hair implied.

The animation for this episode is great too. Once again, i am not a big fan of the 3d graphics but there wasn’t that much in this episode.

The action scenes were not that many this episode, it was not as full on as episode 1.

This was probably more of a content builder.

Like I said previously, there are other human-monsters. But the normal people do not know this and the special agents are just beginning to suspect this fact.

I like the storyline though, the idea of people looking towards monsters to fight monsters.

Just the idea of people cheering on and believing in a celebrity and worshiping him and having faith in him just because he is famous. (It is a reflection of our world, at least I feel that it is)
I would bet that if a normal person turned into a monster etc. the first thing they would do is to kill him or want him to be destroyed. It is only natural to fear someone more powerful than you.

All in all, the anime looks to be slightly better than okay. I still think that it is too soon to see what sort of anime this will turn out to be.

It would either be, draggy, or , awesome/interesting.

I am hoping for the latter.

Spoilers

Gerd burns up and dies(i think) in an accident.
We know who the Black monster is. (black hair dude.

Episode 2 – Living Together Is Dangerous

Summary

This episode is basically as the title says. It is about them living together

The main focus of this episode is to show that while they may live together, they still can’t get along.

Kotoko has decided to aim to be in the top 50 spot in school in the upcoming exam, and how does she plan on doing that? By blackmailing Naoki into tutoring her.

What does she use as blackmail?
You see the image above of a girl?
Thats no girl, it is Irie as a kid (courtesy of Naoki’s mom).

So Irie tutors her.

Towards the end of the episode, when everything between seems to be getting better something happens to put her back in the spot of being hated by Irie.

Overview

I found this episode alright.
I find this series alright.

It is not great and neither does it really make me want to watch on all that much.

Part of me just wants to find out what happens. The rest of me just watches it for the heck of it.
The plot is interesting and fun, if it were your first time seeing it.
After all the tv-drama remakes, you might be better of watching the dramas instead.

Characters wise, i prefer the way they portrayed the characters in here.

Anyway, nothing dramatic actually happens in this ep.

It is basically a plot development and character development. We see the 2 characters trying to interact with each other, the closest we get to a relationship in this episode is friendship. So far no sign of loving happening soon.

[Description of Screen Caps]

- having breakfast at the house

- going to school together

- Kotoko being left behind

- Irie shocked at the stupidity of Kotoko (when they were studying for the exam, not that Irie needs to study)

- Both of them at the results of the examination

- A prank by (most likely) Kotoko’s classmates. Something that destroys their short lived peace.

Thats about it for this ep

Rating – Will continue to watch, but not all that excited. 6/10
