You might have missed the fact (I take it you did miss it while reading your spoiler) that it's about a girl who died 26 years ago. So anything that could have happened 14 years ago can't really be about anything you describe in there.

Yeah, you're right.  I completely fucked up on that.  Had the 14 years in my mind, either hallucinated it or it was from a different detail in the plot.  On my second watch-through, using the unaltered CR subs, I skipped the opening and thus missed the re-enforcement of the 26 year time frame.  Which could still place Mei as Kouichi's aunt ... the scene with the grandfather at the family shrine still seems to be a tie-in.

Time will tell ...

I think his grandfather does mourn Mei, but I'm not sure for that.
I'm fairly sure a lot of people mourn her still, as she seemed to be some sort of fantastic person, I have a few hunches where this will go, but I'm not sharing.
All I can say at this point is that the first half of the show will blow the minds of ours away, and the second will just fuck us hard, that is, if my hunch is correct. Which rarely is wrong :)

The fact however remains that time seemed to pass rather fast while watching the first episode, I thought that it passed in around 10-15 mins and it was full 25 mins, that alone says how interesting it was.
That or Prof. Fornsworth messed with chromatons again (Futurama).

Not really.

What i am theorizing however is pretty damn mind blowing and going to shove it at you at every occasion just to tease you :)

Until we learn the truth and I am wrong or right that is :)

Yes, really.
I don't know how you got the idea that grandpa was even aware of Mei's existence. They're talking about Kouichi's mom Ritsuko who presumably died a few years ago.

I can totally picture this turning into a slasher series. I wouldn't watch it if that happens.

Anyway, interesting first episode. OP sucks, ED isn't really all that interesting to me either, but the rest of the series could make up for those with ease, if done right.

Bob2004, she was shown. When Koichi or his aunt were looking out of the hospital room, she was on the left side in that scene.

Ah, you're right. I didn't even notice that. I guess that discredits my theory that his grandma has something major to do with the girl 26 years ago, then.

I meant she was shown (grandma) as newy explained.

1. It's terrible music
2. It doesn't fit at all with the OP animation
3. It doesn't fit at all with the story
4. It doesn't fit at all with the music in the rest of the show
They should have put in some doom metal for the OP.

I agree. Another great episode for the start of this one. And as far as the eyepatch goes, I'd rather be suprised than guess. Although it is hard to suprise me anymore.

An eyepatch within an eyepatch. Eyeception.
