The Paranormal Investigation Club at Seikyou Private Academy investigates the strange occurrences that happen on school grounds. A task that at least on of the members, Momoe Okonogi, perhaps takes a little too seriously. Recently, the students have noticed that the old dumbwaiter, formerly used by the school kitchens but now out-of-use, has been working by itself. Is this the work of malevolent spirit - or is there something else going on..? Strange opening episode, this, as it runs through the events of the story twice - once through Momoe's eyes, and again showing us what really happened, as in the background of everything is Yuuko: the (dead) President of the Paranormal Investigation Club, who can only be seen by other club members Kirie and Niiya. Which Yuuko uses to good effect to troll poor Momoe on a massive level. Read the description for this episode, and it sounds a lot more serious than it really is... but while I'm sure we'll get round to the serious stuff before too long (we are dealing with a dead girl with no memories, after all), this episode is a good introduction that's genuinely funny, and I hope the series doesn't lose its sense of humour along the way. THE GOOD: Funny - Yuuko is a top-tier troll, and Momoe takes the whole paranomal thing so seriously (without realising how close to it that she really is) that you can't help but laugh. Some good atmosphere where it's called for. THE BAD: Took a while to get around to explaining what was really going on - as in the final scenes of the episode. I'm okay with working things out myself, but don't make me think for too long. Otherwise, nothing that really annoyed me... Wasn't quite what I was expecting, but enjoyed Dusk Maiden of Amnesia a lot, and I'm looking forward to seeing more... Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is streamed by Crunchyroll.

Thoughts: This first episode was a lot more light-hearted and humorous then I expected it to be. The PV had me convinced that the show would be a lot more serious in nature. But that’s not to say that this show isn’t capable of having a darker side to it. Weaved between all of the [...]

It looks like Mondays are going to be horror-filled again with Dusk Maiden of Amnesia filling in for the horror void that Another left when it ended a couple weeks ago.  I wonder if this series has what it takes to bring studio Silver Link to the big leagues of anime studios.  Silver Link is [...]

I enjoyed that. Having the whole first half of the episode repeat with the presence of a ghost in the second half was clever and I really enjoyed it.   The four characters all have interesting qualities and I feel there is plenty of room for character development in the group which is nothing but [...]

Episode 01- Silver Link, the studio behind this series, is pretty much only really known for it’s comedy series (in particular, BakaTest). Thus, when I saw the serious-looking preview videos for Tasogare Otome, I was unsure as to whether Silver Link would be able to make a good series. Well, it seems that my worries [...]

When it comes to this show, I was hesitant and unsure about what was going to happen. Turns out that was just my imagination. This first episode was done pretty well. Taking a step back, this show’s about Yuuko Kanoe, who is a ghost roaming around Seikyou Academy with amnesia. She enlists the help of [...]
