It's not a good thing for Neuro, it's like, any detail you don't know about a murder is probably because the explanation is far too exotic to have been deducible (usually the "how," as in how a murder took place.) Everything else is usually obvious. The "who" is usually whatever character in the episode gets the most attention. The "why" is always, "because the murderer is totally fucking batshit." All "mysteries" are solved by Neuro controlling the female protagonist into implicating the suspect, while Neuro then explains the entire thing. The suspect then inevitably turns into this sorta "monster" form of themselves, and reveals the "why" (see above). It has a sorta "I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids" angle, but it's far dumber.

Ahh, that does sound pretty bad :P At this point, I think I can safely say this series is about as bad, but not in the exact same ways. The following aren't any major spoilers, but I'm using it anyways.
(click to show/hide)
* There is a complete void of infomation regarding the murders.
* The "who" is unknown, but there's a couple of easy guesses.
* The main character is a guy with an IQ of (at best) 40... trying to explain what's going on.
* The "why" is simple: greed. Great motivation, but not good for anime.

You got it.

Sounds like a winner. All I can say is that youtube video of Maria has successfully discouraged me from bothering with the series. I dunno how you can get to be that annoying with only three episodes of material.

Oh, it is! That video is the reason why I starting watching it. I wanted to see how bad it was, and how bad it could really get. It's gone far beyond my expectations so far :D I'm (sadly) kinda excited about the next episode, if only to see how much more ridiculous it can get. And I want to see more demented Maria grins! Those rule!
Aneroph:
For some reason, the fact that everyone hates maria so much just makes me like her as a character even more. She is the only character that I remembered the name of the first time I saw her. I have my avatar picture as my desktop (I'm a sucker for anime artwork where the characters are crying/showing any other emotion than happy and determined). I think she is fairly comparable to Rika's friend Satoko in higurashi except Horie Yui's voice isn't raspy like Satoko's.
