[Anime] Tasogare Otome x Amnesia

That was pretty good. It had all the scary suspense it should have and didn't lighten it with comedy. I'm thinking Asa "Red Woman" is related to the Akahito-san mystery and possibly even to Kirishima.

The only thing I didn't like was the presentation of Teichi's perspective. Why was he shown as a little kid in what looked like a movie theatre?

Mystery solved. Yay. Frankly the first person perspective annoyed me. We didn't need little kid Teechi spoiling a good murdering flashback like that.

I'm thinking it was done to further the atmosphere of "powerlessness". He can't change anything and he also feels Yuuko's pain. I think the helplessness of a child was a pretty good allegory.

As for the episode itself, I thought it was great. Too bad this adaptation is beyond salvation. Also, you have no idea how happy I was that they actually remembered to put in the bangs while seeing things from Yuuko's perspective.

-Kirie. Basically flip flops her personality in 5 seconds. "Oh, you should let her go" to "Don't let her go! I'm an annoying Tsundere! Emotion!" Oh, and real nice to never mention Yuuko's sister worked at the school. No way that could have been handy in the prior 10 episodes...
-The massively cheesy resolution of the Shadow Yuuko thing. I was laughing it was so bad.
-For the third time, Yuuko is back.
-The contrived coincidence of Asa being Teechi's grandma, which was actually my breaking point.
-The obvious nature of episode 12. If I actually felt like sticking around for it, I'd mock it. It's just going to a typical "I'm moving on" deal. 5 bucks says she comes back in the end anyway.

So thats who Asa was and finally Yukariko shows up. Kirie was oversold in the beginning of the episode. The anime only shadow Yuuko content covered everything it should have and left nothing incomplete, it was good. I liked it. I was not expecting Yuuko to forget about Niiya and make him invisible to her. All that is left is the epilogue.

If the next episode goes off well, then this might be the best anime-original ending I have ever seen. Granted, Teiichi being Asa's grandchild was a bit much, but I can forgive it as it tied into Yuuko's suffering having some meaning to her.

The beginning of episode 1 is the continuation of ep 12, huh.
But I did shed a manly tear lol

I like happy ending, but this time I have to disagree.
After such an emotional scene, it doesn't make any sense.

Well, it was a pretty good anime original ending. Unfortunately, they copped out of it at the last second and brought Yuuko back anyway. As an adaptation, it was average as a whole.

Yuuko came back. The happy ending was nice but it flies in the face of the point of the whole series. That aside the anime original content did alright. Even though it was weird at times, Kirie specifically, the anime was enjoyable.
