Since I watched this raw in rather ugly webrip quality and didn’t understand a thing, I’ll keep this short.

The good things: the RED GARDEN style, atmosphere and music are definitely back & still working. The bad thing is GONTZO introduced really ugly CG mechas, even if it’s only for 2 sequences or something.

The story I can’t really comment on (probably sucks, lol), but the biggest surprise to me in this 45 minutes show is that Kate remembers awakening in the final scenes of RED GARDEN. I was sure this would be an unrelated spin-off like My-Otome was to My-HiME so this flashback is totally messing with my head - sequel? spin off? alternate universe? Why are all the other characters alive if it’s a sequel? Why different names? I really don’t know from watching raw so feel free to fill me in. I’ll definitely be watching again when subs appear, heh. :)

P.S. I hope there’s a RED GARDEN/DEAD GIRLS OST coming soon….
