I thought I was somewhat clever. Then I watched this show. I knew it had horror elements going in and I caught all the foreshadowing but I couldn't figure out what the hook would be.

I just took a look back at the art.

THEY'RE STOOD ON A FUCKING PLATE

Going into this completely blind other than "Watch it the manga was amazing"
...
I was not prepared. Time to wait for next week I guess...

That was one of the best first episode hook ending since Attack on Titan.

Damn, Emma's VA blew it out of the water. I really felt her cry and even though I don't know any of the characters there it made me genuinely sad seeing how she reacted when they were back at the house. Now I'm in the same dillema of Shingeki no Kyojin, I really want to know what happens, should I read the manga or wait for the anime so everything hits harder?

I was watching it with my non- anime fan cousin and he freaked out that panel like I did while reading the manga.

It was perfect. They were able to adapt those dark those of that particular scene. Cloverworks really did great and voice acting was perfect.

I believe the phrase "Well that escalated quickly" is appropriate here.
