This episode maintained the mood of the last but it was a little different. Due to that, I’ll definitely keep up with this series to the end (being only six episodes makes that an easy task).

I felt shitty watching most of this episode. I mean, Momo, a shinigami, says “you’re gonna die” so how else can one take that? Just like Mitsuki assumed he’d die soon, I did as well. Given the intensely depressing feeling I had from the last episode, I was self-destructing myself during this one.

In the end, it concluded… well? Not sure how to word it. See, on one hand, I expected certain things so even if I felt shitty about what might happen, I kept watching. On the other hand, my expectations were not met. It ended… happy? happier? Not as depressing. Misuki didn’t die. Mitsuki won’t die (anytime soon). The damn ep tricked me… but I don’t feel as shitty… so am I happy? What I expected didn’t happen but what did happen wasn’t as depressing… beh. I’m going in circles.

Aside from all that, I got to see more of Momo’s personality. In the first episode, she was rather nondescript. She basically did what any other shinigami could do. This episode, however, brought out more of her personality. What she did for Mitsuki isn’t something a shinigami is required to do. I liked what she did.

Now? I wanna watch more episodes to learn more about Momo. I take the chance that I’ll feel like shit after an ep but this second ep showed that there’s more to Momo than just popping up when she gonna take away someone’s life.

EDIT: NO SCREENIES = FAIL ON A WORLD WIDE LEVEL.

I was about to go to sleep when I clicked over to a forum I frequent and noticed a post I made regarding this new series. Due to that, I just *had* to watch it. God I suck. I could’ve went to bed on a high note but I just *had* to watch this ep. Since I’m still tired, I’ll just copy/paste what I posted in those forums regarding this ep.

“Yep. That was depressing… yet strangely, the overall tone of the music contrasted everything. It was nice but it stood out a bit much.

I might have expected too much so this ep turned out a lil sappy. That’s my own fault though. Had I watched this ep w/o any prior knowledge, it might’ve made a greater impact. Even so, the characters felt real so they drove the (utterly inevitably depressing) story along very well.

That intro song is the funkiest song I’ve heard in a while. A mildy upbeat, poppy rhythm with some jacked up lyrics. Twisted… but somewhat original… and very different.

This face of Mai’s displays my sentiments for this series.

Will I continue following this series? I have no idea. It can only get more depressing from this point on… is my guess. It’s a bit unnerving how real the characters are and that makes it harder for me to watch. Yes, I’m a pussy. I’m an even bigger pussy when I’m aware of the level of depression I will gain from watching a series.

If it wasn’t obvious, that puts me in the “bigger pussy” scenario for this anime.
