Posted by Saddletank on 09.03.2007, 08:13 AM: Anime Club: Boogiepop Phantom eps.1-2-3 Here's the thread to discuss the first three episodes, maybe we'll take it slow to begin with and focus on ep.1. So, take it away guys n gals.

Posted by frigidchill on 09.03.2007, 09:43 AM: Gah! I haven't got round to watching it yet, but it's on my list for today. Been bogged down with uni/bank stuff, so i'll probably end up watching it at like 12.

Posted by Saddletank on 09.05.2007, 06:16 PM: Just watched ep.1 and loved it. As you said frigidchill it feels a lot like SEL and the art style is great, the whole feel of it is very claustrophobic which feeling is reinforced by the main character who is shy, withdrawn, confused and suffers from OCD. I liked the realistic face style and the use of plain characters rather than pretty or good looking ones.

Posted by Saddletank on 09.07.2007, 12:31 PM: Just watched ep.2. This is feeling like a mixture now of SEL (the general design and art style) and Paranoia Agent by the fact that the two episodes have focused on two different main characters but they are linked. Its definitely interesting and rather dark, will defintely be watching more.

Posted by arren18 on 09.08.2007, 04:42 AM: Well, until the end of the first episode, I felt it was exactly the same as SEL. The character design wasn't quite to my liking, but I did like the black haze round the edges.

Posted by Saddletank on 09.08.2007, 05:20 AM: Watch ep.2, he is the main character for that episode in the way Moto was the main character for episode one, and very nicely we get to see that same scene from his POV, knowing what he knows, then the 'grope your chest' line has a completely different meaning. Its very nicely done.

Posted by arren18 on 09.08.2007, 05:29 AM: Hmm, sounds interesting. I'm just about to start episode 2 actually, so I'll see what you mean soon enough.
|
Posted by Saddletank on 09.09.2007, 09:49 AM: Ooh, strange. *goosebumps*.
|
Posted by frigidchill on 09.12.2007, 07:01 PM: I've just watched the third episode, and again it's focused on another character like you said Saddletank. It looks like it will play out as a bunch of smaller stories revolving around the first episode. (Did the train stop in the first episode, or did I imagine that?)

Posted by Saddletank on 09.12.2007, 07:25 PM: Hm, I need to watch ep.3 again, it seemed to pack a lot in and yes Panuru (sp?) was not explained well. I'm thinking she is either that girls alter ego or another child who died a while ago and who haunts her...

Posted by arren18 on 09.15.2007, 09:16 AM: Just watched episode 3. Whoa. It's really confusing, isn't it? Incidentally, I like the way the episodes are split into "scenes" of varying length.
|
Posted by Saddletank on 09.15.2007, 11:44 AM: I need to watch ep.3 again. I had trouble with it. Who Panuru was and what happened in the car park(?) when Boogiepop spoke with the girl - and then I presume after that the girl was (raped and?) murdered in the alley? That was just so disjointed and bizarre.
|
Posted by arren18 on 09.15.2007, 12:07 PM: Yeah, I didn't really get it. I hope things will make more sense in time.
