There are a few scanlated chapters of the manga you can find, and Baka-Tsuki has the first two volumes translated if you want to see for yourself.Ah ok, i'll take your word for it and give it a go
This season is looking really awesome so far.
Mirai Nikki episode 13: They could have cut a lot out of this episode and made the plot move a little faster, the next part is arguably the best of the whole series, and they are kinda moving it a bit slow. They could have introduced the 8th before the end of the episode rather than ending it on such a crappy cliffhanger.
Senhime Zesshou Symphogear episode 1: Wow, this is a lot darker than i originally thought it would be. That transformation at the end looked downright nightmare fuel and incredibly painful. I kinda hate the foregone conclusion at the beginning though, but i really hope they make something good out of it. Definitely sticking with this one!
Another episode 1: Never would have expected Stephen King's Pet Semetary to show up in an anime (it's the book mentioned when he's in the hospital, she says he's reading King).
Not exactly sure what to think about this show yet, its certainly atmospheric, and i love how the rust all over the school looks so much like blood. All those school kids certainly have some secrets or issues (or both). The fact that they are all somehow involved despite the murder (come on, it's obvious) happening years before in the same class makes me think that these characters are also dead or in some way trapped in that year in that class. The fact that Misaki didn't remember meeting him and mentioning a 'sad moment' happening on that day suggests some kind of Higurashi-like time loop going on. Either way, i'm gonna keep watching this just to find out what the hell is going in.
Also, does anybody else think that the opening song sounds like the 'haunted house' level of a retro game? haha. It kinda ruined the moody atmosphere for me
