One day he meets Mushiyanokouji Iwai, the "Hair Queen" who cannot cut her hair because of an inherited curse. Kiri finds out that his scissor, "Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge" is the only thing that can cut them. But little did he know that their meeting sparked the start of an old murder game to kill the "Hair Queen" using the cursed killing tools, the "Killing Goods." Can Kiri protect Iwai from the Killing Goods Owners? Let the game begin!

[Anime-Koi] - Episode 01 (http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=419932)

Japan and their never ending journey into finding new fetishes does it again! The first episode was really good though, i enjoyed it on many levels.

[Kraco]

Quite a strange atmosphere in this show, for sure. I wish he hadn't cut her hair that short, though, but considering the flashback, I reckon he only wants to cut hair, not make it stylish or anything like that. Psychologically, after suffering under the cursed hair for so long, Iwai would also want it that short, at least, so I guess it made sense.

The steamy scene of Kiri just touching Iwai's hair (in the screenshot), right before the two killers entered, was very intensive indeed. I mean, not many H titles I've watched ever got anywhere near that.

I know right? It felt intense and "real" without being creepy. And when anime manages to transmit sensuality without it feeling creepy you know there's something there that's worth watching.

[MFauli]

This is the dumbest shit I´ve ever watched. Yeah, think I´ll drop it.

Guy approaching unknown girl out of the blue; her not freaking out, instead welcoming in her home. Both getting orgasms from touching her/having hair touched. Suddenly, two killer ladies. Killing goods, wat. Then: story about ancient killers who left their weapons to their ancestors. Of course, the protagonist just so happens to be such an ancestor. And so on.

wtf

I could bear with the creepy factor regarding the main character´s hair fetish (it´s still better than swallowing a girl´s saliva), but all that fantasy-plot bs on top of it was too much for me to handle.

Think of it as a mix of Fate Stay Night and mass murder killing tools fetish

[Xelbair]

For the whole time i was watching it i've been thinking about FSN - due to OST. It is not even similar - but i still felt it.

[Archangel]

This is the best goddamn anime of all times, the fetishes are so out there and in your face that it has me in between full wood and uncontrollable laughter.

I'd love to see what Shaft could do with this, or maybe just any studio with a better budget. Not that they're not doing a good job already, but i feel the concept deserved a bit more.

[Kraco]

Kiri and Iwai's relationship is so cute, yet at the same time so warped by Kiri being under the influence of the killing tool, that it's far more interesting than any regular romance. It's not like Iwai would be perfectly normal, probably mainly due to her isolation and knowledge caused by the curse, but it always gives a funny feeling when Kiri starts stroking her hair with the borderline insane expression on his face.

[Buffalobiian]

This show is kinda entertaining, but so stupid at the same time.

The pig couple is quite evil, and the power disgusting. But Iwai deserves some punishment after treating Kiri so coldly.

That matters not. Iwai is will induce fatal diabetes in me.

Kiri should consider selling the cut hair as some sort of high tensile strength construction building equipment.

[Xelbair]

I finally got what the music in this show is reminding me(other than FSN)... it was Inganock! only thing that's missing is silent whisper '...Konichiwa.. Gii..'.

[Kraco]

Kiri should give the shark-teeth judge creep a baldy haircut. He's bothersome, and his arrogance should be brought down a notch.

The end was nice. It's good Iwai and Kiri reached an understanding again.


Kiri should consider selling the cut hair as some sort of high tensile strength construction building equipment.

I wouldn't be surprised if it became ordinary hair after he has cut it, being only uncuttable as long as its attached to Iwai's head.

[Archangel]

I didn't get the part i wanted in the school play years ago so i got into S&M and decided to kill a little girl.

I really wish they didn't try to explain this stuff and just let it be.

[Kraco]

I really wish they didn't try to explain this stuff and just let it be.

I fully agree. They are killing goods precisely because they don't need any such explanations.

A recovery from near-rape experience to good friends. Only in anime (unfortunately).

A recovery from near-rape experience to good friends. Only in anime (unfortunately).

None of them are anywhere near normal people, though. I imagine they could have different standards. In the end, under normal conditions (what should go for normal for them), they all should be trying to kill Iwai and that's it. Since they aren't, anything could happen.

I was specifically talking about the hair-model girl and Kiri. The sisters are fine, I accept those ones.

[Kraco]

Oh, right. For some reason I didn't take it as a near-rape experience, so I was unsure of what you were talking about. She said afterwards it was scary but honestly she looked every bit as excited as Kiri, so I think she was just highly embarrassed and masked it by harsher words.

[shinta|hikari]

That wasn't near rape. It was a bit too aggressive an approach, but that would only count as harassment if the other party disliked it, and in this case she was on the fence about that.

[Buffalobiian]

That wasn't near rape. It was a bit too aggressive an approach

As near as an non-adult anime would make it out to be. :p

I don't think she was on the fence so much. She thought he was cute at the time, but she didn't seem open. Being turned on or climaxing doesn't mean you weren't raped (so don't try that as a legal defence.. just throwing this out there).


edit: okay, well since I'm throwing in legalities I'll have to admit that you wouldn't be charged for attempted rape here either for lack of any sexual advances.

[Archangel]

This show is a masterpiece of perversion, every single character has some kinky fetish.

Anime-koi - Episode 08 (http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=436043)

[Kraco]

It was about the time somebody shot the sheriff. Or judge, whatever. The dude had it coming. Characters who preach justice but are themselves just murderous lunatics are almost without exception annoying.

Quite a decadent party in any case, with a play like that. It'll take much to save it for Kiri and Iwai after this. But then again, I guess they didn't excatly go in waiting for merriness and good times, considering how so many want to slay Iwai. Too bad they weren't positively surprised. Iwai is so cute that I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her, quite the contrary, she deserves happy moments after having been born to such an ill fate.

[Buffalobiian]

That episode was painfully slow, and I have no idea why Byouyinzaka just stand there. Rulebook seems incapable of targeting more than one person so if she really did make friends, she would have acted already.

It's bad manners to disturb a theatrical play from the audience. The audience's options are to clap, boo, or leave.

Or shoot, it seems. There must be an American among the throng.

The scene in this episode felt quite steamy. Maybe a kiss should precede licking... It was quite masterful, though, no doubt of that.

Rulebook had it coming. I guess he had become too sure of himself.

Anime-Koi - Episode 10 (http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=440301)

[shinta|hikari]

For some reason I don't like the loli.

Yeah, I think I've gone crazy as well.



Kidding aside, I think the it is mostly due to my well wishes for the Haimura and Iwai couple, and how the loli tries to destroy their future. Kiri acting like a pussy also pissed me off, and as his opponent, some of that irritation rubbed off on the loli as well.

The battle was pretty good though, random physics and impossible moves aside. It was miles better than the dumb noose battle in the previous episode. That was a waste of time.

[Kraco]

The loli got it right: That was really lame. I thought Kiri was something of a fighter with the scissors, but clearly he sucks if he gets that much pushed back by a little girl with so little mass he could have simply kicked her off the roof. Considering there are real monsters after Iwai, little girls being the least of them, Kiri really ought to do something about his current level of proficiency. Being happy and lovey-dovey won't cut it if he doesn't only want to cut flowers for Iwai's grave.

[shinta|hikari]

Physics don't really matter in this show, so I don't really see the loli having nonsensical weight parameters as Kiri's weakness. Sure he sucks, but not because the show decided that weight differences are irrelevant in combat.

[Kraco]

There wasn't really a single instant where Kiri would have even tried to put the weight difference to use. That's my complaint, not that the show would have forgotten it. Kiri forgot, and that's part of why he sucks at fighting. Even though such a thing should be next to instinctive.

[shinta|hikari]

Clashing weapons uses weight you know?

If weight, strength and power mattered at all, the knives would have flown out of the loli's hands the minute they clashed with Crime Edge.

[Kraco]

You can't put overly much strength and/or weight on scissors. You saw how they flew from Kiri's hand so easily. If they were proper, ergonomic Fiskars scissors, the situation would be a bit better for Kiri, but they are those ancient thin iron wire type, so he'd just hurt his fingers.

[shinta|hikari]

I'm pretty sure I can knock a knife out of the hand of a kid that small even with just scissors. He has a pretty big pair too.

My point is simple. Physics doesn't matter much in this show.

On that note, how can Kiri make straight cuts on arms, sides, etc. of enemies using scissors? I doubt it opens far enough to allow hip to snip it normally, and trying to slash with scissors is incredibly difficult because the blunt edge of one side blocks the sharp edge of the other.

[Archangel]

How i love this show, i have no words. I'm a berserking bloodthirsty madman so what do i do? I'm gonna fondle your ass for a bit.

And we get a season 2 as well, this is what i'm talking about!

[shinta|hikari]

That episode made me hate censorship in fan service for the first time.

No complaints about the 2nd season.

[Buffalobiian]

I got pretty bored for the final 3 episodes or so. Not excited about a second season at all.
