I'm starting to like this series even more every time a new video is uploaded. The acting is great, the plot is different, and it is creepy in a new way. I was starting to get kind of (what's the word? Used to?) Slenderman stories, but with how Michael can see him and no one else can, I think, bring the fear back. This is good.

It makes me wonder what a Slendy series where the protagonist can not see him but everybody else can would be like... [/off topic]

As a psych student, I really like how they're representing disorder stuff.
How misunderstood it is, and such.

Of course, we have no idea just what Michael did under the influence of whatever disorder he has. Something pretty big, since it was inferred he was hospitalized. (or that's what I took from something early on, I'll double check in a bit.)

Anyway, like you all are saying, I love the acting and the direction this is going. Smile

Maybe I'll rewatch the 7 videos after some homework.

I'm pretty sure that's the case in the US. It gets a bit trickier when minors are involved, of course, when generally parents have the final say.

Given the little we're being told, I would hazard to guess he was hospitalized involuntarily.

Hopefully we'll find out more soon.

Just watched the new one. Eric is a dick.
To just blatantly accuse someone of KIDNAPPING with no evidence is kindof big. And I'm sure if Michael did something to warrent this sort of suspision he'd be either perminantly hospitalized or in jail or on probation or something.
Idk.

I like how he brings in the mental illness part of this. as before mentioned by another user (sorry, wasn't paying enough attn to quote), mental illness is often downplayed or just struck from the board. Idk why.

But so far, I really like this series. The acting is WONDERFUL. This is all new. The symbolism is fantastic. The whole [[slendy coming to him in his dreams]] thing is new and refreshing. it really is interesting.

and a few pages back--- yeah... everyone that said michael is hot-- I AGREE.
evan jeff and noah are cute too. XD

I wonder if they intended to do the white shirt/black shirt thing. Maybe I've watched too much LOST.

About the name: on the youtube profile it's called Andersen Journals, so that's what I've been calling it.

That guy is a toolbag! Seriously I wanted to kick him. I'm not a violent girl, either.

I don't know that they were intending to do it, but the shirt thing is pretty cool.

I like this, a lot. Its like Slenderman is only an addition to an already fucked up situation.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that the guy came over thinking that he kidnapped his brother. That was a pretty implausible idea, which made it unbelievable. The acting was above average and the fact that it was all done in one shot was impressive. I like where he's taking this.
