Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 2: Rocket ]

Oh man this was such a good episode. First off is the OP. I’ve always been a ALI PROJECT fan so this song did wonders for my ears. There’s nothing I disliked about the song and thankfully the full version was released early so I can listen to it to my hearts content.

As for the episode itself there wasn’t any “WTFs” like in the last but it was still awesome nonetheless. My suspicions were pretty much confirmed in this episode but they went a little beyond what I thought about previously. I had first thought that Asuna’s father was simply pimping her out but as it turns out she was being forced to into child pornography which pretty much stopped at taking pictures from what I gathered. It wasn’t until her father was going to use her little sister, Miku, that she decided to kill him and quite frankly I don’t blame her for doing what she did. Though I don’t think she should have killed Shouta but unfortunately she seemed mentally stretched at that point. The scenes of her in the bed showed just how much of a broken doll she was and I can’t help but think that made her have the twisted and feral look she had when she used her knife the first couple of times.

[ Episode 1: Confession ]

I’m sure many of seen this episode already so I’m going to be direct with my thoughts.

I love the art of Shigofumi as well as the soundtrack. Hearing Ueda Kana as Fumika is a blessing to my ears as I loved her in her roles in shows like Pani Poni Dash, Neuro, and Manabi Straight. It’s a little difficult to describe how I feel while watching it but I can say that it does give off similar vibes to that of Jigoku Shoujo and Shinigami no Ballad. Yet, it isn’t like either of them and has its own identity. I find the concept of delivering letters from the dead quite interesting and a refreshing touch on the theme of death. While the episode played out rather normally with a boy trying his best to confess to the girl he likes it all comes crashing down at the end when he finds out that she killed her own father. Of course he refuses to believe it and goes running to her but Fumika soon shows up and while his back his turned and he turns around, he is stabbed in the chest by Asuna.
