| 3:34am | Mouryou no Hako, Episode #04 - This is why I watch anime. |  | | | Maipeisu is flypaper for freaks. What better way to kick things off than with a shot of SEKIGUCHI holding a bloody cleaver in front of a girl’s body parts strewn about the background? If you think that’s disturbing, and you have already finished the episode, you may have unwittingly glided... | | |

| 3:32pm | Mouryou no Hako |  | | | Another series on my “never to watch” list this season is Mōryō no Hako (via Tokidoki (Swedish)). It’s followed a little wider than the hapless Macademy, although mostly at team blogs which can afford ultrawideband coverage, such as Scrumptious and THAT. In case anyone wonders what... | | |
| 7:56am | Introduction: Tril the Blogger (an Essential Demographic) |  | | | As you know, Divine was a valuable contributor here at Random Curiosity, and since his departure Omni has been looking for someone to help out. I can only hope I’ll be of some service as a new team member here, and honestly I’m very much looking forward to working with all of you. I’ve been... | | |
| 4:42pm | Mouryou no Hako - 03 “A sense of release” | | | | Synopsis: Youko receives a kidnapping threat on Kanako. I am trying to embark on something ambitious. Due to problems with the subs (the accurate one being slow, and the fast one being inaccurate), I have decided to blog from the raws while aiming to provide the same level of detail as my previous... | | |
| 3:32pm | Mouryou no Hako (魍魎の匣) and the beauty of insanity - 'kyouki bi (狂気美)' | | | | So I have been watching the first four episdoes of Madhouse's adaptation of Kyougoku Natsuhiko's (京極夏彦) bestselling supernatural thriller Mouryou no Hako (魍魎の匣). In a way, I see this as Madhouse's successor to Shigurui, and whereas Shigurui was remarkable for its zankoku... | | |
| 6:10am | October Summary | | | | Okay, so since this list already is huge for this month, I decided to omit the OVAs in this list, along with series that have already finished and belong to the previous season, like Chi’s Sweet Home and Wagaya no Oinarisama, in an attempt to keep this list a bit overviewable (although I do want... | | |
| 9:04am | Mouryou no Hako - 02 “The Deception of the Tanuki” | | | | Synopsis: Kanako is safe but the truth regarding the incident is yet unknown. The episode begins with the man with glasses from the first episode visiting his grandmother’s burial. He comments on how his grandmother’s coffin, being round, was a mistake. A coffin should be a box, one... | | |
| 5:00am | Weekly Anime Review (Oct 19 - 25) | | | | Massive amounts of anime was watched this week by me and I still feel like I’ve not watched enough of the series because I’m skipping sequels to shows that I haven’t seen the previous season of. As a side effect of rating so much anime at this concentrated rate, I’m finding it easier to see... | | |
| 10:12pm | Michiko e Hatchin - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Obviously, the police isn’t going to let Michiko get away without a fight. Highlights: Surprisingly genuine. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) Well, since Michiko e Hatchin’s second episode took so long to come out, it’s taken me quite a while to finalize my... | | |
| 7:18pm | Mouryou no Hako, Episode #03: Devil’s hospital |  | | | くれない。 I have come to the conclusion that Mouryou no Hako must be blogged at any and all cost. Impz says it is an impossible series to blog, and he may be right. There are layers upon layers that require penetration, scenes upon scenes that demand a still eye and ear, and moments upon moments... | | |
| 7:14pm | Mouryou no Hako - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: Not just heads get cut off in this series. Highlights: Awesome use of different camera-angles. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent) Those creators really are out to get me with their incredibly complicated dialogue. Heck, the website even refuses to list the name of the different... | | |
| 4:56am | Mouryou no Hako 3 - The Black Box |  | | | Gee,that's not suspicious In engineering, a black box is a representation of a device where you know the input and the output, but not necessarily what’s in between. How fitting that a mysterious “hospital” looks like a giant black cube in the middle of a forestand a fitting metaphor... | | |
| 6:09am | Chaos;Head 3 - Her Song… |  | | | Fly me to the moon and--wait, wrong show is also a song of death. And goth anthems sung by Rei Ayanami clones. This episode spends some time pulling things back and explaining what’s going on. Takumi is confirmed to have some kind of precognitive ability, more or less; what’s still not clear... | | |
