Dusk Maiden of Amnesia: Episode 3

Hey guys! Sorry I have been slacking lately. It takes about 3 hours to do one of these reviews. haha. alright, on to episode 3!

The episode starts out with Teiichi and Yuuko talking on the rooftop of the school. Yuuko starts to get a bit clingy to him and then the viewer sees her 'true form'. Her skin is black and bloody and her eyes are pure red, along with her hair being tangled and dirty. Then she goes off on wanting sex with her. But the weird thing is, the viewer sees her as the ugly scary one. While shes talking, it starts to zoom out and you see that Kirie's eye is there. Meaning she was watching the entire time, and this 'ugly form' that we see, is what Kirie is seeing.

OPENING SEQUENCE. I LOVE THIS SONG. LALALALLLA~


Alright. Back to the episode. Starts out in the summer! Yay! Teiichi is opening his locker and finds a note inside of it, then gets tackled by Yuuko. She asks what she looks like in her summer uniform, and of course Teiichi blushes. Yuuko tries to start a conversation but Teiichi cuts her off and runs out, saying he has to go, which makes her a bit upset. He runs to what it seems like a closet and opens the note thinking its a love letter, but it turns out to be a seek letter. To meet him somewhere and talk about 'the girl behind you', referring to Yuuko. Yuuko waits in the club room for Teiichi but then Okonogi is the one to open the door. She sits down and talks about more information she found, while Yuuko being in the room. So, just like the letter saids, Teiichi goes after school to the back of the school by himself. He goes up to the tree and finds a young girl leaning against it and asks if she was the one that wrote the letter. The girl goes straight into saying that he's an idiot and hes in danger and hes going to die if he keeps this up.

While thats going on, Yuuko and Okonogi are back at the clubroom and Yuuko asks Okonogi if she knows where he is. She response saying she does, but shes only referring to her note, since Okonogi can't see or hear Yuuko. Then it goes back to the girl and Teiichi. She explains that Yuuko is an evil spirit. Then goes off on explaining the 3rd mystery of the school. Back when the school was built, a girl died in an accident. Because she was mad she died without any questions, her dispear took over, and became a ghost, haunting the school. She wishes for others to understand her misery, that she takes them to the other side so they can suffer with her. Teiichi saids thanks for the concern and walks away, pretty much saying he doesn't believe her. The girl explains even more, saying that not everyone that dies becomes a ghost. The memories and emotions they have that are strong enough, leave them in the living world. She names one rule: never open your heart to a ghost, 2nd rule; the living are stronger than the dead. The girl walks away and Teiichi is standing there in the rain talking to himself asking if Yuuko is lying to himself, and thats when Yuuko appears in front of him. 

Kinda creepy..haha. Well she is wet. While shes standing there, Teiichi's mind goes back to what the girl said. That shes an evil spirit. Yuuko runs at him and hugs him, and he starts to freak out a little. Then the mood turns nice because she sneezes and saids shes going to catch a cold in her own bubbly self. So then, they both go to the nurses room to change and dry their clothes. While Teiici is sitting there drying his hair, in his mind again, he keeps asking himself if Yuuko is really lying to him. In nurses rooms, there are beds with curtains on them, so its not hard to talk through or 'see'. So Yuuko opens his curtain, but not realizing shes naked and he turns around screaming. She explains shes sorry and forgot that he can see her, so she closes the curtain again. So after that, Yuuko asks why Teiichi didn't go to the clubroom. He lies and said its nothing, when he was really with that other girl. She explains she was worried because of a story she heard, which was the same story Okonogi said in the clubroom, about the random disappearances, and didn't want him to disappear. I wonder if she knew about the conversation Teiichi had with that girl..Then she sits down next to him, still naked with a towel and asks him a series of questions. She asks how does she look to him. He doesn't really answer. She then asks about her hair. He responds with its long and black. Well duh Teiichi. lol. Then she asks about her skin and he replies with it being white. Then she asks about her face and eyes, and gets really close to him on the bed. 

She then pretty much just gets on top of him, forcing him to lay down and shes laying on top. She then saids shes happy he sees her the way she sees herself. The weird thing is, you see a spider web right over them. I wonder what that really means? Yuuko saids to him to stay with her forever, and thats when that other girl appears yelling at him. The girl yells at Teiichi for being an idiot and not listening to her and shes here to help him. And then tells Yuuko that shes a bother. The girl goes off yelling at Yuuko and she just stands there holding Teiichi. The girl tells teiichi that she will show him Yuuko's true form. He starts to walk away a bit, and you see Yuukos hand turned black and tries to grab him. The girl goes on describing what Yuuko really looks like, and Teiichi starts to freak out, considering Yuuko is behind him. He freaks out and tells her to stop, saying Yuuko doesn't look like that. The girl tells Teiichi to turn around and look for himself. Like REALLY?? WAY TO SCARE HIM. Hha. I would be terrified. So what happens? He turns around and falls, scared from what he is seeing and blood dripping. She reaches a hand out to him, with her dirty body and blood and thats when the girl grabs Teiichi and runs, making Yuuko fall to the floor.

Teiichi and the girl run out and his mind is going nuts. She explains that, that form is the only form she always sees, unlike Teiichi. She then introduces herself as "kanoe kirie'. WAIT WHAT?? Hold up, KANOE. Thats Yuuko's last name. DING DING. Kirie then explains that Yuuko is her oldest grandmother. 

COMMERICAL BREAK. AHHH

So the episode comes back with Kirie explaining her side of the story. She explains that she heard all the stories about that ghost, but thought nothing on it until she found a photograph in her grandmas room. She asks her grandma who Yuuko was, and she said it was a girl that used to live there. In other words, Yuuko was Kirie's grandmas' older sister. MIND FUCK. Her grandma said Yuuko died at 15 and didn't explain anything further. So after that, Kirie explains that she started to see Yuuko around the school. After that she started to see Yuuko's true form. Kirie explains that she found the truth of the stories and thats why she can see Yuuko's real self, and tells Teiichi he can't because hes a pervert and only sees what he likes. Teiichi is overwhelmed by lust, that that simple fact prevented him from seeing Yuukos real self. The then explains that her corpse is in the basement of the old building and Kirie tells him to go look for it, but thats when you hear blood splatter and Yuuko comes up from behind them. My god I got scared. Because of the music they used haha. 

He then hesitate to run, but then runs off with Kirie. The both run to the clubroom, and Kirie opens and breaks down the door that lead to the basement, which Teiichi was shook at. Kirie starts to walk down the stairs, but then you hear a slight voice, and Yuuko comes from behind Teiichi, grabbing him, saying that she won't forgive her. Kirie frighten, runs down the stairs. 

Yuuko lets him go slowly, but hes shaking from being so scared. She goes around in front of him and grabs his face, asking to look, and he turns away refusing. She tells him that she probably looks awful now and explains how happy she was that he could see her and how they spent time together, and then slightly pushes him away. He bends down to pick up a piece of paper he found, which was a sign Yuuko made so people wouldn't open the door. She saids sorry and thank you and starts to walk away, and thats when Teiichi grabs her wrist, forcing her to stop. Teiichi saids that he was scared, forcing himself not to believe what he saw and so on. He goes on describing 'his yuuko'. Heres the thing, his eyes are closed and hes describing her, but if you noticed, the room is slightly changing and so is Yuuko. So he pretty much just made his own scenery, and remade Yuuko to what he knows her as.

He tells her thats not enough and saids he needs to look at all of her body, meaning her bones. Come on guys. lol. She blocks the pathway and saids no saying she needs to prepare her heart for this and Teiichi continues and saids he needs to look at it now. "I want to see all of you". He saids. OHOHOHO~ Lol. Okay back to business. Lol. 

Um..so He runs down the stairs and Yuuko stays upstairs, curling up in a ball. He walks down the stairs and hears crying, only to find Kirie sitting there crying. She tries to explain herself, saying she wasn't crying but Teiichi brushes it off. He shines the light and sees Yuuko's bones, getting closer to look at it. 

You notice that her leg is broken?? Poor Yuuko. They both start talking when they hear a water droplet and shine the light some more, discovering a shrine. Teiichi asks if this really was an accident. They talk on asking if Yuuko is the ghost from the ghost stories. Heres the thing. Ghost stories are told from person to person, so its likey for it to have been changed. Or someone did it on purpose. They both walk upstairs and try to figure out what the shrine was for and how Yuuko was related to it. Kirie tells him to still be careful and he agrees, then gets the glare from Yuuko behind the couch, which scares of Kirie. Kirie stops to take a breath and continues walking, but it seems like something is following her.

So it starts off the next day, Teiichi explaining everything. Yuuko is  Kirie's grandmas older sister, and that shes a ghost. A ghost that is seen by people that want to see her and the way people want to see her. Annnnd then Okonogi walks into the clubroom and brings up another story she heard, which they kinda already know about. How the school was built on temple so the school is cursed. The girl that died due to the accident was actually cursed and spirited away. Right when Teiichi was going to explain something, Kirie walks in. Shes now part of the club and Okonogi introduces her. 

Well thats the end of the episode. This was one of my favorites, just because you got more detail about Yuuko and about ghosts in general. Again, I hoped this helped out in some way, these are fun to write, even though they take be 2-3 hours to write..

ON TO EPISODE 4!
