The first episode of Tatsuki's new anime dropped for not so long ago, so i figured we needed a thread for it.

it's based on Tatsuki's winning entry for the "24th 3D Anime Contest" in 2012, here is the original:

part 1 (can't get embedding to work on this video)

would be nice if someone could add english subtitles to the videos

i'm loving the atmosphere of this anime, it has a dark undertone along with the mystery of what's going on in the world

anyways, any one got any theories on what's going on? what happened to the humans? what the Red Bugs are? what are the protagonists?

Episode 2 was a more Rina-focused episode, fleshing her out and her relationship with the others.

we also got more hints towards the overall mystery of what's going on, what the Kemurikusa are and what the Red Bugs are, though there are still no definitive answers. i love how the show avoids giving exposition dumps, Wakaba is still pretty annoying though...

Episode 2:

Seems that our female protagonist, Rin, has a bit of a huge crush or a tsundere relationship with our MC over here tongue Speaking of mc... He's... A little bit annoying tbh due to his voice but even then, seems the adventure just started because all of the mc will leave the Island and will found a lake in the sixth island. The world is still kind of mysterious tbh.

Oh yeah, Episode 3:

So the Island 2 is basically an amusement park that has a bit of an unstable ground? Okay. And it seems that Kemurikusa leaf itself is pretty edible to eat (Courtesy of Wakaba) and why I'm not surprised that the world Rin and co. live in are actually a Post-Apocalyptic world and seems that Rin and co. are not actually human due to the heart shaped like a plant so yeah...

Wakaba was definitely more tolerable in this episode than the previous ones, but his loud moments are still rather annoying

other than that we got a nice worldbuilding episode where we find out a bit of how the people that died before episode 1 were. we also find out that everyone except for Wakaba needs huge amount of water to keep going. i also wonder if that earthquake that opened up a huge crack full of red mist will be important later...

Episode 4:

Wakaba might sure as hell annoying but he did get the brains on trying to saving Rin and co from a huge bug known as Nushi and the adventure to the Island 4 continues and seems there are some members in Rin's co in the past although it was mostly from explanation. Man despite the bug is defeated, there is something that is alive and I feel something sinister will come later.

HOLY SHIT! it was an epic fight with the Nushi at the end, plus the OST is fantastic. Wakaba putting together a plan to beat it totally makes up for how annoying Wakaba had been in the first half of the episode, now let's see if he stops being annoying for the rest of the series.

there were also several hints dropped towards what the Kemurikusa is and how Wakaba is related to it all, especially with the reveal of "Admin Color Detected"

also, i need to praise them for the reveal of the Nushi. they built it up through a mention early in the episode, so you would assume that it would show up in a later episode, only to drop the bomb when you least expect it

Episode 5 (Copying from MAL poster cuz I'm lazy af):

Looks like they are starting to trust Wakaba. Even allow him to use the very important water. :)

Is Midori-chan the one carry the bus or is it Ritsu power that carry the bus?

Wakaba should have taken the small robot with him! Would be helpful pet.

New character looks like Maki from Love Live. And got almost the same voice as Saki from Zombieland

Episode 6 of Kemurikusa was amazing

Riku hinted at a bigger plot going on with her and Ryuko, as well as hinting that Ryuko is alive too, but for some reason Riku and Ryuko want to do it alone without any of the other sisters knowing about them being alive. in addition to that, she teaches Wakaba how to use the Kemurikusa. the orange Kemurikusa also hints at what their mission is and that the First Person is involved somehow

man, Tatsuki is really killing it with this series

Episode 6:

Yea... It was revealed the girl in previous episode is actually related to Riku (I forgot her name though) and man she's a bit of a fun character on her own. Probably due to her voice almost like Saki. And yep, this episode truly reveals several things but create new mystery such as what happened in the world of Kemurikusa. And next stop they will go to the huge tree in Island 6 iirc.

Kemurikusa episode 7:

we finally reach Island 7 and find water, which there turns out to be a lot of. the tree is also blocked by a wall, giving some hints as to where the walls on the other islands come from. the wall also behaves like a Kemurikusa, giving some hints as to what Kemurikusa are and what the walls are. there were also the appearance of what seems like Blue Bugs, those will undoubtedly be important later.

however, things quickly takes a turn towards Nightmare Fuel, as an army of Red Bugs are discovered to be attacking the tree. Rin immediately jumps down and begins to attack the Red Bugs until Wakaba comes down to her and makes realize that the best option is to retreat for now, this causes Rin's feelings over always losing someone every tie they went went on trips to come to head. regardless to say, she does not take it well. Death Flags are flying high these next few episodes, i highly doubt all of them will make it out alive

Episode 7:

Well... They seemingly reach their end goal with other resources like water in the 7th Island. But considered this is the 7th Episode and all... Their hopes were crushed due to the amount of red bugs that were infested in the Island and the tree is the cause of it and is up to them to destroy the trees... I truly feel bad for Rin, Wakaba and others whose hardwork got trampled. I hope they succeed and earn their happy end in the end. But we'll see

Episode 8:

so we got a few more hints of what's going on. the walls that protects the islands are made from kemurikusa and it seems that all the non-Wakaba characters are aspects of the First Person, split up. seeing the neutral robots taking down that root was awesome. i have a feeling Mt. Fuji is gonna play a role in the plot later.

Episode 8:

Well I guess the root of the problem is at Island 9 which is understandable. And also, this episode marks the last appearance of the white bugs who helped Wakaba and co. through their journey.... Poor them. Press f sad

Episode 9:

so there was a wall on the top of that mountain and that wall had a Red Bug swimming inside of it. we also met Ryo and Ryoku and they are apparently one and the same. it also seems like Wakaba is the only one that can see them, deepening the mystery even further

Ryoku were the one who wrote on the yellow Kemurikusa, with the exception of the erased page, which was written by the First Person. Ryoku also said she gave Rin her eyes, whatever that means. and if they are gonna find out why the world is like it is, they need the memory leaf, which currently resides in Rin. i'm also speculating that Riko, Ryo and Ryoku are the same person

Episode 9:

Yep, we are now introduced with two new characters named Ryo and Ryoku and it's pretty interesting that they share their bodies together. Ryo is the most laidback one while Ryoku is the nerdy one and it's pretty interesting that she was the one who write the diary that Wakaba found but not the scrapped ones... Now then, I actually have a feeling that both Ryo, Ryoku and that girl who has a similar voice by Saki are actually a fragments of Wakaba's imagination but I could be wrong considering that Rin and the other girls in her company are unable to see them... Yeah. Also, man that the bugs who control the wall are pretty scary

Episode 10:

HOLY SHIT! what an episode. we're at the home stretch now and it feels like it.

they finally found the source of the red root and a mysterious source of blue Kemurikusa. Rina and Ritsu seems to be disappearing too, better hope Ryoku and Ryo reaches them before that happens. Wakaba also finally got to use the Memory Leaf, we're finally gonna find out what's going on with this world. worth noting that the First Person has the same clothes as Wakaba

Episode 10:

Yeah... Currently Wakaba and co arrived to the source of the problem but it's pretty sad to see Rin's sister left Rin and Wakaba fighting alone against the source of the problem but I can't blame em. And in the meantime, we also see some flashbacks of a First Person in Rin's memories that looks like a female version of Wakaba... Wow, the plot thickens

Episode 11:

HOLY SHIT! WHAT AN EPISODE!

we finally got confirmation on what Wakaba is, he's some kind of alien and the originator of the Kemurikusa, he also heals. the First Person was also a human who died and was resurrected by the Kemurikusa and seems to be the originator of the Rins. the First Person was capable of combining Kemurikusa and is also the originator of the red tree, which she made by combining Kemurikusa, because she wanted to stop Wakaba from overworking himself. Wakaba was also the one that constructed the walls to protect the First Person when the red tree grew out of control

I have created one, I added as much as I could humanly remember for now. Kemurikusa needs some help there, though, I know I'm forgetting stuff to add, so if you feel you can help me fix whatever I did wrong and add your contributions, I'd be glad for you to do so.
