    You can't put a bullet in Rosa's head. She's voiced by Koshimizu Ami.

    R.I.P. Koshimizu Ami. I can't condone your characters actions.
    But man, those guys sure know how to annoy an audience.

    When she was beaten yet still continued to ~uuuuuu, I began to think she's doing it exactly because of that. Maybe it's some sort of a mantra she developed to escape the incomprehensible world where her mom is hurting her. And then it got stuck to her general speech.

    Or seeing how she knows so much, she could just be partially autistic and have such a strange habit as a sideeffect.

    But man, it was annoying towards the end of the episode. Fortunately the main dude's carefree attitude and boob groping tendencies lightened the episode up sufficiently.

    alright, so i just watched the first episode and lemme try and recall all my thoughts on it..

    I thought it could have just excluded Battler's whole oppai obsession O_o.. that was kinda weird. he's like "cousin! let me grope you!" and it's like, okay yeah, so you've got a bangin hot cousin. that doesn't mean you grope her man...

    okay uh, at the beginning when the Maria chick is like "Sinister! Sinister!", and then with the painting again.. there were just like these spots that like seemed super like, cheesily ominous.

    okay, so when ever it's showing Maria, and she's doing that "Ooo! Ooooo!!!" thing, at first I liked it. But then it got really annoying. and then i'm just like "would she shut up already??" and then her mom is like "stop doing that!" and I'm like "thank you! yes". but then the mom starts beating her, and I'm like "w-w-what?!? what am I watching??" and I kinda felt like I should turn it off..

    but then at the end, it shows beatrice behind her in that real quick scene, and then they're like "hey look, she's even got her own umbrella". that whole thing was so obvious.. like I seriously said all those lines right before they did.. it's like "oh it's not mine i'm borrowing it" and then they're like "wait, from whom?" and she's like "from beatrice" and then it's like DUN DUN DUN! but it was so obvious :\.....

    anyways.. it definitely had an interesting atmosphere about it.. and I am definitely going to watch more.

    edit:

    oh and new ep is out

    I think Battler is just a natural pervert. He'll go for any girl that looks good in figure, like how he tried to grope the maid afterwards.

    That was quite a slaughter. I thought it would start with one or two persons missing or found murdered but it looks like the first night claimed a third of them or so. Beatrice is no shy witch, it seems.

    Battler was kind of strange. His shocked reaction was so late that it seemed more like an afterthought. As if he suddenly remembered he should scream and be shocked as well, lest somebody starts to suspect him.

    Now I understand why they rushed to introduce everybody. Half of them die by episode 2.

    Given we've got 13 episode, I thought they'd take it a bit more slowly too, but if Beatrice has no trouble finding victims, then go for it.

    Even just given the, what, 30 seconds of footage dedicated to Shannon's relationship, it stilled pained a little to see her go. That's pretty good, I'll give them that. The ring just made it all the more emotional.

    I'm thinking "lady with silver hair"''s deduction that Beatrice was one of the original 18 is perhaps wrong. One reason why one would want to hand Maria the letter personally is to prove that she really existed, or at least suggest so.

    You know, play a little magic to get everyone in the mood.

    It's a bit too early to think about reasons or trends as to the ones killed I think at this stage, but I still thought the currently dead characters don't have much in common. Not all the money-hungry ones died, at least.

    A good move not showing any preview, I must say. That's the worst thing that could happen with this kind of show.

    (Funny that, I don't mind the ED any more. I even enjoyed it at parts, and it only took 3 hearings.)

    The wife was lucky that she received that charm from her daughter. It was also smart of her to be cautious and placed the charm on the door. Otherwise, the marks all over the door would be all over her instead.

    I thought it would be ~20 but it seems like 13 is the number being reported on sites.. damn.

    I like some of the voice actors, and dislike others. Some sounded convincing, but some sounded bad when they were surprised, in despair, etc.

    Edit: The soundtrack sounds ok so far too, enjoying the series so far.

    Heh, already six deaths comfirmed and Battler's late reaction was kind of off. At least, Natsuhi was lucky to receive a charm from her daughter, like shinta|hikari said.

    Battlers reaction was probably due to shock and confusion. When reality hits him, he then reacts like any sane person would. That, or maybe he doesn't care about the others much, and only screams when he realizes his dad is among the corpses.

    Despite how much I encourage this show to leave gore uncensored, I'm happy we didn't see Shannon's (assumingly) mauled face.

    Battler's surprisingly unenthusiastic about the whole riddle. That portrait suggests Beatrice may be quite the curvy witch.

    Same here, just finished watching both eps. I was about to stop in the middle of ep 1, deleting it and ep 2.
    EP2 was a tad better, I hope the interrest will start rising.

    If everything is about surprise, disguise, lies etc... then probably one (or more) of the guys thought to be dead aren't. Destroying faces is a way to cover that fact, especially on a stranded island, with no time and possibility to call the police.

    Another thing to take into account is that we're in 1986, so no cell or sat phones. It's already playing a role by limiting data sharing among the 18 people. However things missing on that island is (for the moment) a radio and maybe some external security entity that would come and check if everything is alright when not having any news. After all this is a rich familly, so those 2 things should be there.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
