    Brynhildr in the Darkness



    Summary: The original manga revolves around high school boy Ryōta Murakami, who cannot forget his female childhood friend whom he let die in an accident. Feeling that he must fulfill their promise of proving the existence of aliens, he has continuously looked up at the starry sky as a member of the astronomy club. One day, a girl named Kuroha Neko who looks exactly like his childhood friend appears as a transfer student. She displays supernatural strength when saving Ryōta from a foreseen accident. It turns out that Kuroha is a magic-user that has run away from an alien research lab. From then on Ryōta supports these magic-users, hoping to live normal lives regardless of being pursued. How will Ryōta's life change now?

    So far this is pretty interesting. I mean a lot of things are typical for anime but behind it all there's a nice tension that shit could go horribly wrong at any moment.

    Marathoned the manga. I recommend this to anyone, story is definitely suspenseful with a genuine attachment to the characters. Not surprising coming from the same dude who did Elfen Lied.

    I'm having problems liking the MC, what episode did it start to pick up on? I got to about 4 and haven't watched since.

    I love the opening theme. The show has done a good job getting me attached to the characters too.

    So I'm all caught up with the most recently released chapters now and all the ones in between that were missing before.

    Spoiler: show
    I'm so mad at myself for never catching that damn shadow in the first few panels in this manga that indicated someone else was standing besides Kuroneko and Murakami lol. Kotori's death man, holy shit dem feels. When she said Onii-sama at the end I genuinely whispered an "oh no..."

    What is up with the new OP as of episode 10? Did it get renewed or something or
    Spoiler: show
    were they just going for a gut punch by making the audience think Nanami was going to live for more than two episodes?

    I'm not surprised with how things went. The pacing seemed rushed as fuck once they started with the new OP. Apparently the last 3 episodes covered something like 40 chapters of manga.

    So like, never read the Manga, and that ending was like... the shittiest closer of any OVA I've ever seen. Last couple of episodes so gd convoluted.

    Same guy I think? Pretty sure I heard it was. But yeah, overall not good though it could've potentially been awesome.
