the stuff in the second episode about performance especially in the context of a fantasy/memory/"film" was really interesting to me. shades of hitchcock/lynch. i like how they used/kept a different aspect ratio for it. the use of the film stock animation is a little on the nose though.

Eh... "Did you notice? Kenya has red eyes just like the killer!" wouldn't really work in a manga, right?

New trailer out for the live-action movie version: *** CONTAINS SPOILERS, VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCio_qEdkMM *** CONTAINS SPOILERS, VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK *** Anyway, it seems to have a slightly different feel from the anime.

Satoru's mum is awesome and I hope she uses her youkai powers to beat up Hinazuki's mum at the birthday party.

Strange Quark posted:It's cool how Satoru's inner monologue overlaps with his voice when he forgets to keep a thought to himself. I agree on both these things. Kenya is being way too on point to be an ordinary kid and his line about how important Satoru's interest in Hinazuki is felt way too relevant to the time-travelling guff. I don't buy his perceptiveness or his dialogue as merely those of a smart child.

Note that the anime also cuts out a lot of bits and pieces here and there, as I've mentioned. The story in the manga starts getting a lot tighter now that we're in the past, so the relative pace is likely to slow down a lot from now on.

Another good episode this week, but again they only covered 80ish pages, which means we're still not out of volume 2. There'll be some mad rushing to make it through the remaining 6 volumes in 8 or so episodes. Bit worrying, but they seem to know what they're doing so far.

Scans for the manga aren't caught up to the current chapters anyways, they're like 6 chapters behind, so might not be a great idea. That said, the manga's great.

yeah this show is on a roll. worried that they can stick the landing though. the sound design during the more unsettling moments really adds to the atmosphere. still getting some lynch/twin peaks vibes from it esp in re: abuse i really like the way they're selectively presenting or withholding information and how it ties into the memory aspect of it. that ending was rly beautiful

Oh, was that Kenya at the end? I couldn't tell - if anything I thought it was Kayo's mom, and that she was somehow up to no good with the teacher guy. Kenya strikes me as like...I could understand if he didn't have anything special going on, and he's really just perceptive. Like obviously a twenty-nine year old guy isn't going to know exactly how he acted as a kid and Kenya's picking up on sudden changes, namely Satoru's getting more involved and focused and determined. Or at the very least, it's plain to see he's acting a little bit suspiciously, and Kenya just wants to know what's up.

Blonde hair always means evil. Unless it's a Super Saiyan or a woman, in which case it's a tossup. Speaking of which, I'm going to be SSJ4 platinum mad if Kayo gets killed after all of this.

Zettace posted:I have a feeling this will actually happen and it'll lead to a time loop situation where he keeps traveling back until the mystery is solved. That's the vibe I'm feeling at least. Ahhhh dammit. I forgot about that. I really hope it's not a time loop thing, Higurashi did that to death. It does seem like his odds of success are pretty poor right now though. He has no idea who the culprit is and no real plan beyond "well she won't get kidnapped if she isn't at that exact spot that day" which...I dunno about that one bro. I mean poo poo, best case scenario here--the killer just goes "eh, too much like work" and goes hunting for a different child to murderrape. That's not really a happy ending.

Vengarr posted:Ahhhh dammit. I forgot about that. I really hope it's not a time loop thing, Higurashi did that to death. Yeah that whole thing with the three kids missing (and the fourth who we saw, and also probably being the guy who killed his mom) implies it's not just saving this one girl, it's actually catching the one responsible for all this and saving not just those five, but also Yuuki. He only has half of those as his priority, and I don't know if he even sees where some of them are connected either. Kayo's lovely parents are just that - lovely parents. They have super little to do with actually kidnapping kids, I presume - but it's not too much of a stretch to say the kidnapper took in runaways and the like. Guy's probably going to focus too much on the lovely parents and miss out on the actual reason he's there.

I wonder how they'll tie back the present day to the story. I mean Airi seems too important of a character to not show up again since she's even in the anime's main poster (unless I'm mistaken). Will the entire story take place in this elementary school past or will it return to the present mid way through? (Don't answer this question manga readers) Will we return to the future and see the consequences if he fucks up? Just one of the many things this show has me thinking about.

My prediction: Anime Scott Bakula's goal is to prevent Yuuki's execution, but Kayo's still going to be murdered, after getting the audience to really care for her. Otherwise, there would be no reason for Revival to trigger AFTER his mother's murder. Possible that she dies also,in 1988 this time, leaving Yuuki as the only wrong to have been righted. What a horrible teacher. Sharing intimate details regarding a fellow student's home life like that, in a class he knows is prone to bullying , just because he believes that the 10 year old won't have a mood swing and lash out in front of the class, shouting "This is why your mother hits you" or something equally horrific to push her over the edge. I get that schools were a LOT different in the 80's and 90's. I remember that my public elementary school music instructor literally had a box that she would lock students in when they misbehaved in class in 1994-1995, something that, as far as I know, would be absolutely unthinkable nowadays. But even so, wouldn't that be crossing a line somewhere? Kytrarewn fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Jan 22, 2016 |

Xelkelvos posted:I think the teacher is the kidnapper because he seems to have that vibe You think that the teacher is spinning the "DCF is going to take her and put her somewhere and you'll never see her again" rag so nobody asks questions when she disappears? Clearly, that didn't work in the previous timeline, and there was no such story for the previous two victims as far as we know. I'm becoming curious about Kayo's mom's boyfriend, and whether or not he and Kenya are related (both being blondes- shallow assumption, I know, but...). "The sins of the father unduly burdening the son" are one of those plot lines ubiquitous in JP media, and if Boyfriend is both the pedophile and Kenya's father/older-brother, Satoru's mother might have been murdered to keep those predilections out of the spotlight. Of course, given that the murderer seems to have attempted an abduction himself, that may be unlikely.

Unless I forgot something, I think there's the possibility that Kayo's disappearance and the kidnappings are unrelated. Kayo may have just run away from home and just froze to death.
