First Look: Okami Kakushi

Okami Kakushi has the exciting team-up of Ryukishi07 (Higurahi, Umineko) and Peach Pit (Rozen Maiden, Shugo Chara) behind this project. That really kept this show under my radar and I’m looking forward to check it out this Winter season. The trailer has pretty nice animation, the only thing that irks me is the main guy >.> I’m not really sold yet on him (except that he sounds like Kanon ~yay Yuu Kobayashi). He better pack up something that’ll make him look more interesting. Hey, lead guys need to make a good first impression, right?

Preview:


I have watched a few of the episodes and heres some screenshots from episode 1:





Heres a nice response for episode one from watchers:

-aww, well i didn’t think it was that bad… thuogh i certainly am pissed off with Isuzu or Islutzu as u call her. Certainly annoying >_> However, I think theyre just taking it a little slow unlike Umineko and more like Higurashi, remember the 1st ep in Higurashi didn’t have much to show either, but then everything only gets better from then on. I think its gonna be somewhat like that.

Also, Nemuru = Win!!!!! ^_^ Shes totally cute and yep, I totally hope she kills off Isuzu lol. I guess I have a thing for purple haired girls now– Kyou (Clannad), Senjougahara(Bakemonogatari) and now Nemuru

Personally, I think the artwork is good and graphics is above avg as well, the main male is a lil annoying, but I suppose he’ll get more assertive as time passes. So, yep, Im definitely watching this till the end. Love it! XD

In my opinion the first episode
What a disappointing first episode it was, I felt like I’m watching the wrong show at first, but through the second to fith episode it got better and way more intense, it makes people want more... >.<. It makes people ask questions about the mysterious characters.

This show is massively messed up. Izusu pisses me off, so I hope she gets Scythed just like her bi-sexual brother did lol. Personally, I want to find out what the disease actually is, is it like Higurashi or is it something new?? Personally, I REALLY hope the disease doesn't turn out to be a spin-off of Hinamizawa Syndrome, that would piss me off. Definately keeping up with this one.

lol, yeah the personality and herself pisses me off too o.o, lots people hated the first episode because of her ...

She's a less Yandere and more annoying version of Yuka, which means she deserves death lol. Can't wait to see her get ripped apart by that Scythe.
