Someone convinced me to make a thread of this.

Has anyone else watched this? I just saw up to episode 8 and its extremely... er... creepy. I've never been one for things like this but... I really like where the show is going.

Although the last half of episode 8 was really what the fuck material.

If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend watching it... if you can stand what this anime has though. From what I've heard from people they can't take some of the material in it, although I seem to handle it just fine (although the things make me cringe a little).

I think I've seen about a minute of it, thanks to one of my friends.

It consisted mainly of seven self-inflicted stabbings to the neck.

My curiosity will get the better of me one of these days and I'll end up watching it. I just need a more powerful computer for video decoding. (Arrr.)

You think THAT is bad? Oh, that is nothing.

Oh no.

That part you are talking about happens in an early episode and isn't that bad... if its the right scene I'm thinking of.

I'm at episode 17, and have it paused right before something incredibly gruesome is about to occur (I think). It... I...

Let's just say I held through the show pretty well up to now. Despite it being scary beyond all reason and such, this part will be downright disturbing if they actually show it.

I have a couple of questions.

First, are these subbed episodes or is there an English dubbed version?
Second, what is it about..? (Use spoiler tags if you must.)

Let's see...

1) I'm watching a subbed version, but I do believe there was a dubbed version, although I heard they stopped continuing the series due to no sales.
2) Its about a town that supposedly has a curse that happens once a year. Basically, someone dies every year after a festival, and another vanishes as well. That's about the basic gist of it.

I'd go into it more but I'm still learning a bit from it...
That is, if my stomach can actually take this part.

I actually started on this a week or so ago.

Needless to say, I got about ep. 14. Episode 8 creeped me the fsck out. I don't think I've had a single animé do that to me. Even Elfen Lied wasn't that bad...it was senseless. This has depth, is far more psychological and is eeriely thought out.

As for sales in the States, it's still going. The last box set was released on the 5th of this month: see here.

Episode 8 really ended in a freaky way though. Really freaky. It was an awesome episode in my opinion. It really creeped me out a bit.

I need to finish episode 17. Paused it last night because hearing what was going to happen made me cringe a lot and then I got distracted...

Yeah, that part I was talking about wasn't as bad as I thought, but the sounds got me.

*shudders*

I love this show.

I'll probably finish the rest of this season up this weekend since I have Utawarerumono completed. I have my TV-out box as well to mess with though...

I watched maybe 15 episodes or so. I found it very awesome and nerve wrecking. And they are working on season 3 last time I checked.

I managed to find volume 1 on DVD today, so here's another DVD collection I'm going to rack up eventually, the first being School Rumble.

Awesome.

Season 2 I definitely need to watch. If the first season was so awesome to keep me hooked for every episode then I can't wait to see season 2.

Believe me, it's got the same effect as the first. There's not quite as much psycho-deathism going on, but the story is amazing and constantly tantalizes you with "well maybe we get the REAL solution this time."

Most of the emphasis is now on Rika, which IMO is a good thing. Absolutely fascinating stuff going on here.

I watched the first four episodes last night.

It was... (Is there an adjective for this?) ..."morbidly addictive." Let's call it that.

My intentions were to watch only one.
