Mekakucity Actors	comment	Shintaro Kisaragi is a hiki-NEET who hasn't left his home in two years after a certain incident. He spends his days drinking soda, browsing the internet, and being bothered by Ene, the girl living in his computer. After her actions cause him to ruin his keyboard on a holiday when he'd have to wait five days for an online order to ship, he's forced to choose between going without his computer, or going outside to buy a new keyboard in person. Reluctantly choosing the latter, he inadvertently gets involved in a hostage situation that sparks the beginning of something more as his life begins to collide with that of his idol sister's as they get involved with the Mekakushi-dan, a group of teenagers with mysterious powers.Mekakucity Actors is a 2014 anime in the Kagerou Project series, produced by Studio SHAFT and directed by Akiyuki Shinbo. Outside of Japan, the series streamed on Crunchyroll, but was taken off the service in 2021. Funimation continues to stream the anime, however.Please only list down tropes relating to the anime here. If it refers to the series as a whole or the light novel and manga adaptation, please list them down on their respective pages.

Mekakucity Actors / int_105d50b1	type	Psychological Torment Zone
Mekakucity Actors / int_105d50b1	comment	Psychological Torment Zone: The Heat Haze world. What we've been shown indicates that one is trapped in a hellish maze (and time loop) based on the place/way you died. For example, Kido and her sister were trapped in a burning maze of trick exits, and Hibiya was trapped in a surreal copy of the city, where everything was out to kill him and Hiyori. Survivors are shown to enter a (temporary) catatonic state when they remember what they endured. The form the world takes is most likely based on your strongest memory (which, for many of the people who enter it, is the moment of their death). For Shintaro, who lives in constant regret and wishes to return to the past, the Heat Haze world takes the form of an endless classroom. As of Episode 10, we also know that Azami and Shion - who aren't in a time loop - spend all eternity trapped in a pillar of writhing snakes.

He thinks to himself that it's probably best if he ignore the situation and keep walking by, only for Konoha to then rush towards him to also ask for help. In the end Shintaro does help him out, and fortunately they do find the two kids, who unfortunately are also being kidnapped at the time. Luckily Konoha is a bonafide badass, and he single handedly saves them in the blink of an eye.

Mekakucity Actors / int_53299a3c	comment	Synchronous Episodes: The weird stuff that happens in the first episode during the hostage situation is explained in episode 3, as we see what Momo and the others were doing to help her brother out during that time frame. Kano and Seto, aka "Hostage A and B" also deliberately end up where the hostages are so as to help Shintaro out. Another example is when the terrorist leader thinks one of his henchmen hit him on the head, and gets mad at him as a result in the first episode. In episode 3, it turns out Mary accidentally slipped and almost had a phone receiver hit him on the head before Kido manages to catch it. But the phone still had enough momentum to tap the guy in the head, explaining what happened. In several of the Flash Back scenes, characters can be seen doing various things that aren't shown prior, such as Shintaro winning a coelacanth as his prize in episode 9 (which he then gives to Ayano) for defeating Takane at her game in the school festival seen in episode 6.

Ultimately, it seems her defiant attempt failed, since this is actually exactly what the Snake of Clearing Eyes wanted and he kills Haruka and Takane anyway. He probably has no problems with uniting a new, more easily manipulable Medusa. The Clearing Eyes Snake notes that Shintaro would be joining the Gang in this route, but thinks that "nothing a guy like him could do will make any difference." Guess who ends up being the one person that knows how to stop him.

Mekakucity Actors / int_7ea2a915	comment	Animation Bump: Happens in the last episode. After the Clearing Eyes Snake takes over Konoha's body, the animation suddenly gets extremely fluid... though the trade off is the art becoming even worse than before. Oddly enough, while the opening for "Ayano's Theory of Happiness" was originally an animation downgrade due to the fact that it, for some reason, used very poorly done CGI, the blu-ray release made it into an art bump where the art looked much better than even the typical art style, and also more closely resembled the style of one of the series' original artists.

The second half of episode 4 shifts into a deranged style, with heavy shadow, and very little colour. Fitting, as it's based on the art style of the Kagerou Days PV. The post-credit scenes that tell the story of the little monster use a much more abstract style, with bright colors being featured prominently alongside black. The opening of episode 9 uses CG animation to show a flashback of the orphans' arrival at the Tateyama household

Mekakucity Actors / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Mekakucity Actors / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: This show is chock-full of it in practically every episode. During the first episode, we see various shots of the Gang in places. Each location is relevant to where they originally died and how they got their eye power; Kido is in a burnt out building, Seto is beside a river, Kano is slumped against a wall in the apartment, Momo is floating in the sea, Ene and Konoha are in the lab beneath their school together and Hibiya is in the park. Marry is first seen standing atop a large structure, overlooking everything with a sad expression. This foreshadows that she is aware of the other routes and is resetting time. The shot is shown again at the end of the Episode 8 for emphasis. Several episodes open with a character talking to Ayano in the Daze. Their conversations are vague, but contain a lot of clues toward the over-arching plot. When Shintaro first meets Konoha, he comments that he looks like a video game character. This is significant because Konoha's appearance is based on Haruka's avatar for a shooting game. During the same scene, when Shintaro first sees Konoha, Shintaro's eyes very briefly flash red and he has a split-second glimpse of Haruka. This foreshadows his eye ability - "Recording Eyes" - which allows him to remember everything he has ever seen, even in previous time loops, and that he has had his eye power all along, using it subconsciously. When Konoha appears in the opening credits, Ene can be seen peeking out and staring at him, rather than screw around like she had been before. She also disappears completely when Kenjirou appears. This foreshadows the crush she had on him back when they were Takane and Haruka, respectively. Her hiding away when Kenjirou appears could also be foreshadowing the reveal that he killed her. The many belts on Konoha's costume sure look a lot like the snakes usually writhing around Kuro Konoha... In episode 7, Haruka sees that Kenjirou's eye is glowing red, the same way as the eyes of those with powers do, while lying in his hospital bed. During the ED, at the very end, Hiyori disappears. Considering all of the others disappeared before her (symbolically leaving her behind in the Daze), and what happens in the final episode...

Mekakucity Actors / int_a6209f13	comment	Insert Song: Since the anime is based on a series of songs it is no surprise. Not all episodes have them, but those present emulate their respective PV. Kisaragi Attention is included in the Chase Scene in episode 2. Blindfold Chord is used in the final scene of episode 3. Kagerou Daze is used in the final scene of episode 4. In episode 5, the ending theme 「days」 is used in the Relax-o-Vision of Ene in Shintaro's smart phone flipping in the air as Momo is beating on her brother out of camera. In episode 6, Headphone Actor is used in the beginning in place of the opening and Yuukei Yesterday is used in the Good-Times Montage near the end of the episode in place of the ending. In episode 8, Lost Time Memory is used in place of the ending; It shows Shintaro's life flashing back and parts of the other realities: the light novel, the manga adaptation and some scenes from the music videos, and the end of a previous timeline. In episode 9, Ayano's Theory of Happiness is used in place of the opening. In episode 10, Imagination Forest is played in the background of the scene where Seto and Marry meet. Otsukimi Recital is played in Episode 11 when Kido, Momo and Hibiya are captured and need to let the rest of the Dan know where they are without letting their captors know by combining Kido and Momo's eye powers. Doubles as an attempt to cheer Hibiya up about Hiyori, like in the original song. The last episode has Jin himself singing Summertime Record over the end credits roll and a montage of everywhere the Dan has been during the series.

Mekakucity Actors / int_ce75a983	comment	Hibiya keeps having dreams where Hiyori dies from various accidents in episode 4. No matter what he tries, she always gets killed. Then at the very end, he says Screw Destiny, and throws Hiyori out of the way as a truck is crossing the road. Unfortunately he gets hit by it instead.

Mekakucity Actors / int_debc6687	comment	Solemn Ending Theme: Accompanied by Hiyori sitting alone on the train, with the others very gradually appearing all around her. The final shot, where she's alone again, becomes quite the tearjerker after she's died. However, with the final ending of the anime and the official PV for the song, it can be interpreted that her disappearing at the end of the video symbolizes her revival and escape from the heat haze daze.

Later, when Shion finds Marry at the hands of two men threatening to sell her as a freak-show, she utilizes her powers to turn one of them to stone, despite never having used it before, and despite the heavy toll on her body.

The latter says he could definitely do something if he had a distraction to keep the terrorists distracted. Then suddenly the electronics around the store start falling off the shelves, some of which fall on the terrorists, giving Shintaro the opening he needs to upload Ene into the computer system and open the shutters back up.

Mekakucity Actors / int_eb81c601	comment	Big Damn Heroes: Kido and her group end up helping Shintaro foil the terrorists in the early episodes. Konoha does one in episode 5, when he goes into a Tranquil Fury upon being told by Shintaro that Hibiya and Hiyori being forced into a van by some unknown men is a bad thing. He rushes over there in less than a second, and stops the van from moving while simultaneously crushing open the back doors. With Kido, Kano and Seto grievously injured, Momo, Ene and Hibiya's snakes removed (meaning they will die shortly, too), and Marry just about to reset time again, the lights in the lab suddenly go out, and striding out of the darkness come Ayano and Shintaro... the possessors of the two snakes necessary to avert the bad ending. Haruka also pulls one seconds later; just as it seems Clearing Eyes is going to kill Ayano and Shintaro, he shuts him up, and seems to immobilises him mentally, allowing the others' plan to go off without a hitch.

The former was actually a subversion egged on by Ene, but the latter were justified; when Kano suggested Hibiya use his powers to be a Peeping Tom, Hibiya's first thought was "Lady's bath!" and his eyes flashed red.

Mekakucity Actors / int_ffd816e7	type	Everything Trying to Kill You
Mekakucity Actors / int_ffd816e7	comment	The Heat Haze world. What we've been shown indicates that one is trapped in a hellish maze (and time loop) based on the place/way you died. For example, Kido and her sister were trapped in a burning maze of trick exits, and Hibiya was trapped in a surreal copy of the city, where everything was out to kill him and Hiyori. Survivors are shown to enter a (temporary) catatonic state when they remember what they endured. The form the world takes is most likely based on your strongest memory (which, for many of the people who enter it, is the moment of their death). For Shintaro, who lives in constant regret and wishes to return to the past, the Heat Haze world takes the form of an endless classroom.
