Many anime that have ghost and stuffs don't count as horror. lol Are Hikaru No go, Hayate, Natsume .... Horror? |

I read the manga and wow, I guess they are going to try to squeeze a lot into 12 episodes. The feel of the manga was slower paced as things got to be revealed. It was a bit ecchi, and there was comedy but yes there was some horror too. Whether the anime adaptation will include some scary stuff or just try to make it some simple romantic comedy is anybody's guess. After watching the first episode though I feel optimistic where its heading. I thought the show looked pretty nice and I laughed at the whole set-up for this episode even though it was a bit obvious from the beginning. I look forward to the rest of the season with this one.

Anyone who classifies this as a horror and not a comedy has their head screwed on backward. I suppose some people were fooled at first glance because what it has in common with Another, which was a dark creepy school setting. The similarity ends there.
(The student body in Another didn't have a club to investigate the paranormal. They didn't need one.) I like quirk. And I have to say an anime that has a boob-feel on a ghost in the first episode can't be all bad. |

First show I've watched of the new season. Liked it, curious as to the mood of the show from here on. I'm fine with either direction comedy/romance/horror/mystery.

I can tell that this is going to be a rather fast-paced show. Such is not the best idea for a mystery, and I am concerned that perhaps this could exhibit the all-too-common problem apparent in anime today: too much content, not enough runtime, resulting in a rushed delivery.
However, this episode felt right. I already like Yuuko a lot. She amuses me, and fits into the friendly, yet slightly mischievous apparition archetype quite well so far. I'm slightly discouraged at the archetype Niiya plays though, which is the nervously perverted, yet unrealistically restrained adolescent male. To his credit, he does appear to be spoiler[a bit more open-minded about the romantic concepts behind the sensation of touch of a (non-?)sexual nature and in the idea of romance in general,] not to mention less inclined to find himself in the company of a harem. I do hope he develops a more dynamic personality in later episodes. There are too many adolescent male protagonists in anime that come across as dull, going-through-the-motions kind of guys. Okonagi is obviously the comic relief, though I hope they don't have too much of her throughout the show. Her melodramatic and overblown determinations and fear-inspired outbursts are amusing, but can only be endured for so long. As for Kirie... "What is this tomfoolery?" I watched Uppote! first, but this has certainly taken priority and probably outright taken over. The next episode will be the true first episode, where this one was really more of an exposition of the main characters and their personalities as well as a quick rundown of the show's central themes and mysteries. |

That character design and art! I bet the quality's going to drop, but as long as they draw Yuuko like that, I'm going to follow it. She's a damn nice character, and I just want to see more bonding with her.
According to what I heard from people who read the manga, it sort of dawdles around, and it still isn't finished, so I don't know what to expect, maybe a non-ending or anime original. This is DEEN we're talking about, so I wouldn't expect much, but... we'll see. |

It seems to have started a few chapters after the manga so I'd guess we'll see some flashbacks soon regarding how each character is introduced. The manga has a darker tone than the anime and I suspect the anime is not going to really follow the manga other than using the same characters. |

I disagree. "Ghosts and stuff" only put in in the supernatural category. If they add scares, it will then be horror, or even supernatural horror as horror does not depend on said supernatural elements. You were not scared because you were not supposed to be scared. As of right now, this show is in no way horror; It is a supernatural comedy. |

Really digging the first episode with two perspectives of seeing/not seeing Yuuko. Little comedy mixed into seriousness isn't that bad imo.
I currently need to get my hearing adjusted from the guy whos doing the VA of Teiichi-san because he also does the VA of AIchi Sendou in Cardfight Vanguard  (currently sounds weird to me)

Just finished the first 2 episodes and I really like this series. Disappointed that it will only be 12 eps because I could look at Yuuko all day.
I'm generally not a fan of spoiler[watching the same scene twice from different perspectives,] but I thought this show did a wonderful job with it. As I watched spoiler[the first 6 minutes the 2nd time, I found myself just watching Yuuko and not paying attention to Okonogi at all.] Everything that we saw Yuuko do in that time was what I expected though I did crack a smile at her jealousy of Okonogi saying she thought Teiichi was cute 
The second episode goes back and shows how each character is introduced much like Papochulo thought it might. Found it very entertaining. Definitely had some comedic moments such as spoiler[Yuuko chasing Okonogi around as a ghost] and a couple moments that have a few darker tones like spoiler[Teiichi seeing visions of Yuuko trapped, crying, and pleading for help,] I'll be looking forward to this show each week. Also we're up to spoiler[3 boob grabs] through 2 episodes which is just fine with me. |

I saw episode 2 as well, got to say the bit I found most intersting was how she is so confident with her body, spoiler[but totally acted embarassed over him looking at her skeletal body.] Probably says something about her mentality, either way hot ghost school girl is fun to look at. Including some glasses and ghost cosplay, her demonic form looked cool and other one funny.
Also have to mention that I like some of their scenes of dusk sky, my favourite time of the day. |

Enjoyable series, for sure. My little pet peeve is the "I'm a Japanese male, so I have to be freaked out at the thought of seeing a girl naked or by touching her." I can't tell you how unbounded my joy would be if anime drove a stake through this absurd trope once and for all. Teenage boys - regardless of country - are involuntary horndogs. Seeing female nakedness IS NOT like looking at one of Lovecraft's creatures. If a gorgeous female offers you to feel her breasts, your instinctual reaction is not one of horror and terror. It just isn't. Japan, please dispose of this psychologically untrue bullshit once and for all. You're embarrassing yourself.
I think that's why I liked High School DxD so much: finally a MC who acted the way a real teenage male would when confronted with big tits and naked chicks. |

At least not in this series, though another series might not be too far from the truth. This girl in particular is ghost that if she wanted to could harass him and no one could prevent her. Maybe seeing a naked body in anime land is like the reaction past trauma, you know how violent anime girls can be. Perhaps it comes from a social stigma of being afraid of being branded as a pervert, you know the sort of thing that probably actually causes a minority to do all those crazy things you read on certain websites. |

Both OP and ED go right into my collection, once they come out. I like how they actually added a personal touch by animating her singing them.
I like the series so far. Of course, there's that, but I think they'll sooner abandon the Imperial family and tradition than get rid of that, I try not to notice it. Either way, I could look at her all day. As a matter of fact, I do need a new wallpaper... |
