The first episode of this was cool, interesting set up for the rest of the show. How many episodes is this going to be?

I'm pretty hooked on this, it's great. I almost want to just read the manga right now to carry on with it

Am I missing something - Why isn't anyone mentioning the dead (or at least heavily battered and unconscious) child on Hinazuki's living room floor, at the same time as Satoru is searching for the missing Kayo? :confused:

In which case the last 5 episodes would be "Oh poo poo, Hiromi dies too, doesn't he"?

I guess Satoru finally realised that since Hiromi was also there. What about the other kid that we don't see, doesn't Satoru care about them :(

I suspect that all of the stuff to do with Yashiro is a red herring. The sweets in his car seem weird at first, but this guy is a teacher who the victims all know and trust - he'd have absolutely no need to use them as some sort of bait. Even the idea of a killer using them as bait for kids seems a bit ridiculous really, the kids aren't dumb

Teacher is guilty by virtue of being he only young adult male in the whole timeperiod.
I'd be a bit disappointed if that were the case I think. I suppose I'd also be disappointed if it's somebody we haven't even seen, though.

Yeah, it seems to be just a translation error. The name is written as 八代学, it's Gaku Yashiro.

I've just been reading Qualia the Purple, and the main character is called Gaku by her friend though her actual name is Manabu. I don't think it's an error, more like an alternative name or nickname

If this were an American serial-killer show, they'd be going on and on about the method of murder and victim selection and how it reflects on some trauma the killer suffered.

He definitely seems to have a predilection for killing children through exposure to cold... throwing the car into a freezing-cold lake in the middle, freezing Kayo to death with his atomizer, etc... I wonder what, if anything, that suggests.

Also, given the temperature of the water, and how far away from anything resembling civilization this whole thing took place, isn't Satoru pretty well hosed, even should he manage to escape the seat belt, find something to break the window of the car, get out of the car, and swim in the right direction to reach the surface?
My guess his revival thing will kick in and either he'll go back to before it happened or we'll be back into the present time period
