Ga-Rei Zero… huh?

I guess we all need a Pocky-eating and sword-wielding bishoujo in our lives.

Okay, okay, okay… what the hell just happened? Episode 1, the cast dies. Episode 2, most of the cast dies. Or they all supposedly die. Is this how this is all going to play out? If so, alright cool. Yes, it’s still too early to pass judgment, but at the moment, I’m  watching Gai-Rei Zero out of curiosity. The story premise seems interesting and the characters (at least when they had a pulse) were likable. However, I’m not sure how long the novelty will last or if this series presents something worth clinging to. Off the top of my head, the only other series that had the cast killed off in less than 3 episodes was Kiss Dumb – Engage Planet. Never finished that one. Never wanted to finish that one. I hope Ga-Rei Zero does better; if anything because I enjoy Chihara Minori and Kitamura Eri.


Ohara Sayaka we need you!


Mami-chan had such promise, until she sported the Metroid look.


Girls named Natsuki who use dual pistols and a motorcycle are fine too.

    My thought exactly as well. I haven’t encountered a series where a commercialized/promoted bunch of characters totally get wasted right off episode 1, like shit on a toilet paper. :)

    The ‘kill-em-all’ gimmick wears out pretty quickly. After ep.2 this has dropped down to my ‘maybe’ list (actually I’m not mad about the manga either). Any show needs at least one character the audience can hook onto and identify with – having to find a new one every episode quickly becomes irritating.

    The first episode just left me with my mouth open during the whole ending sequence…I seriously didn’t know what to think or say.

    Haven’t seen the 2nd episode yet, but you just said it ends the same, making my initial theory that it was going to be a ‘flashback’ anime get thrown out the window…>_>

    Wonder if it’ll keep doing the same thing.
