The main character (can't remember his name atm) and Nogizaka would have made a great couple, if it weren't for the whole paranoid-schitzo issue. Haha...

It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
He's already got an otaku girl onto him, but he's so withdrawn into his 2D world that he won't be able to handle it if she gave herself to him right there and then. And Nogizaka is the timid type. She'd need him to make the moves, and as we saw, he has none.Originally Posted by Alhuin
(I'm assuming you're talking about Nogizaka Haruka, unless I missed someone who's also called Nogizaka in this show)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah, I meant Haruka. I'm just used to calling her Nogizaka since it's the first word of the anime title as well.
But you are right, she is timid, and he is withdrawn, so it seems like nothing would be able to happen. I just think he would have a better reaction because of the timidness. The girl he met is an otaku, but she is somewhat outgoing, and the whole time he was around her, he kept insisting it was a trap. Maybe because, even if he is a bit schitzo-paranoid, he feels like a girl like that can't possibly be real. Yet with Haruka, her obsession could be real, but maybe the timidness would be more his style, and he would be more accepting.
Who knows... it makes sense in my head, but I'm terrible at explaining it. In the end it doesn't matter though, since they're two different shows. =P...

2 timid people can't find mutual ground to meet each other, because there's nothing open towards others.
That otaku-ish girl is probably the best possible match as she can grasp parts of his way of thinking. But the decisive quality is her being able to be pushy just the right amount.
Of course by doing that, she enters dangerous and hostile grounds were the risk is of being rejected forever, but at least it's an open ground she can have in mutual with him and try to grow something on with him.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
That reminds me of an article I've read before about how cats will snug up to those who are the least interested in them, since it finds those people the least intimidating.
That may well be true for TakuXHaruka. Except,...someone will have to do what the cat did...advance.
It could happen, but I'd say really really....really.....slowly.

Weird....I didn't expect that something like this would be revealed so early on. She did come across as a little stalkerish...blonde chick I mean....sorry, my train of thought is even a little hard for me to follow right now....
I can tell that half the fun of this show will be in trying to distinguish delusion from reality. Bring on the next ep.
The dude is a complete nutcase. It's great how it's pretty much impossible to predict what he might think or see next. Even better that he doesn't seem to be the only unpredictable person around. I was wondering why Yua (if that's her real name) was so aggressive and... well, I still don't know what she is.
A most strange series.
We can't tell if she's with the police or whether Yua has some other goal neither. From the police meeting, it seemed the tape was passed to some third party prior to the talk, so maybe Yua has something to do with that.
Poor Rimi though. From the sounds of things, Taku probably wasn't like this the whole time the group of three knew each other, though again, I can't tell if Rimi's surprise at Taku not remembering her is genuine, or playful. (This show plays with your head alright)
So far we haven't seen any mention of the very first scene with the weapon pointed at Taku's chest. I'm wondering how that (and the OP visuals) will fit in with the story.

Just watched the second episode... this series is very very wierd. We as the audience can't even tell what's real or not, especially when we're experiencing things through Taku's point of view. But the guy is a complete wackjob... I also have to wonder when the opening scene of the series takes place and if it's one of his delusions or not.
Haha, this is great. Not sure if I can stand watching this weekly, I'll probably just watch it all when it's done airing. I love his laugh. Seems like the visual novel translation is pretty much done, only beta testing left or something. Maybe I'll play that instead/as well.
gave this show a shot, and it's enough to keep me watching. in a weird way it's almost like a psychological murder mystery thriller crossed with the harem genre crossed with the otaku societal shows like Welcome to the NHK!
Yua is really damn awesome. Her guise had me completely fooled until they did the deliberate shot of her bag with the frogs on it while they were walking to school. And then of course there's her total badass, almost psycho interrogation at the end of the episode.
Rimi is, without a doubt, the bottom line here. She probably did commit those murders, but it's got to be connected with Taku in some way. I don't think she's just a nice girl who goes to school that Taku forgot about.
Precognitive abilities... In short, he's messed up in the head because he's partly living in the future. So the picture on his friend's cell phone about the three of them at that fair might actually not be something that happened yet, just something from the future that he's manifesting. Of course, how he can bring things like jpeg images and cell phone images into being is beyond me.
The most likely scenario is that all of this is in his head, which, if we are to take the opening scene of episode 1 seriously, is also Rimi's head. It's like split-personalities where the personalities also have crazy mental illnesses (like wanting to pin dude's to walls with metal crosses). Hell, for all we know all of this is inside of his head and he's dead and just replaying things from his life (and Rimi's) in random order, sorta making a pseudo dream-like life...
Or I could just be clutching at straws because who the fuck could really say what is going on in this show?
Seira-tan has "bad guy" written all over her. She helps facilitate Taku's disconnect from reality by keeping him engrossed in the online games (which seem to be like some kind of drug for him. It's almost like the "I don't care about things (people/murdering people) in the 3D world" is a litany he recites while playing games). She also didn't want him to get close to Yua. Besides, nobody, imaginary personality or not, is that nice without some kind of alterior motive/goal.

Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Isn't Seira-tan just the "incarnation" of his pure otaku side? His desire to forget all things 3D, to isolate himself, to trust nobody, to be completely in control of his own world. I don't think Seira is more than the little voice in a drunkard's mind that tells it's okay to have just one more drink.
I love Seira-tan, I wish I had a cute, imaginary, cosplaying girl showing up randomly and draping herself over me while encouraging me to play video games and stroking my ePenis.
As to the mind fucks that this series has been trying to put me through I'm mostly trying not to pay too close attention to it except when I'm forced to, though it seems like I'm going to miss out on too much if I keep that up. Yua seemed too good to be true but I didn't think she'd turn out to be THAT ungood when she did her reveal. The show really manages to keep you guessing and I'm liking the way it does so.
So far I'm liking this series although I'm not sure how much discussion you can give it considering just how insane the main character is. Essentially every single character upto this point can be completely in his head with how its going.
Though I do have one overall question... Whats up with the 26 minute or so episodes this isn't a OVA from what I can tell so did they just decide its so good it only needs a couple commercials or what?
Huh? It's a 13 episode series.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Hmm then I'm really confused how they managed to put out 27 minute episodes.
If I'm not mistaken, the opening scene of the anime could very well be the ending, and what we're seeing are the events leading up to it. Or, it could be one of his precognitive delusions, considering he did have an image of the third murder before it happened.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
What screws things up more is he doesn't remember he was Shogun and just posted it to himself. Split personality? If so, who's shoulder are we looking over at any given time?
