| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmmm...just some questions, so was responisble for the girl's death? Good start though. |
 |
| Good start.. but im not really looking forward to it.. Nevertheless I'm going to finish it, I hope it gets better though.. |
| I'm not disappointed about this series, it has something, can't tell you what though... I'll be watching the rest too. |

| I never expected a series about a shingami and death to be so sweet and touching. This is something special. The visuals, music, mood and story all combine to make a wonderful low key drama. It's not for everyone, but based on the first episode it is just what I was looking for.... |
| Good start in the series. |
 |
| Decent start, but too slow for my taste. I'm still going to complete the anime, though, since there are only 5 episodes left. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Me want a flying neko too ! |
| This sort of reminds me of Shigofumi, but that had a lot of twists in the episodes. I was expecting her to die as soon as they mentioned the asthma thing. |
 |
| I just want to go hug my dog, decent first ep. |
| Sad and dark setting all around but quite a nice concept! A good start I'd say. |
 |
| Well, the first episode left a good impression. This show is a lot different from other shows about shinigami. |
 |
| :'(. Even though I only got to know Mai for a very short while, and even though the first asthma attack scene foreshadowed what was going to happen, when that rain started to fall I couldn't help but feel the feels. |

| Really liked the first episode. From the first minute it was enjoyable. Looks like there will be new characters each episode. |
 |
| The build up was a lot better than the payoff. |
 |
| Wow! The deceased ask a lot from the living. Please take care of my cat, I have had a good time with you and now I will go on living happily in heaven while you have to grive for my dead and of course take care of my cat. Man, if i were the boy I won't give a damn with that cat and let MOMO end it suffering once and for all. |
| 1. pace was a bit slow. didn't like that they were elementary kids (lack emotions/common sense). 2. seems to be an episodic anime based from the preview. would prefer to have character development than starting over w/ new ones. 3. first episode was pleasant but ended too fast to be enjoyed. DROPPED. |
| So each episode is a new story. |

| Boringggggggg ............ |

| The reviews made me kinda worried, I expected to get bored but not at all ! The episode was slow but felt almost too short. I have a thing for episodic stories like this so of course I was looking forward to it and it's a pleasant surprise for now. This episode was definitely not the deepest I've ever seen and it was quite childish and predictable but it was good nonetheless, it touched me. And I already like Momo's character, I like the idea of an empathetic shinigami and for now it looks like it is very well done. I also like her cat, he's pretty fun. I don't expect something amazing to come out of this show but I think I'll like it ! It looks good so far. |
 |
| Gwahhhhh the character design is SO bad, the animation sucks, and sad scenes are not hitting either (and I am pretty easy when it comes to that)....reading the pretty pretty shoujo manga instead. xD |
  |
| Can you imagine how fucked up Kouta will feel in 10-15 years when Blue dies too? This is an incredibly mediocre show and yet weirdly engaging too. It was fine and at only 6 episodes I don't see any reason not to watch this through. Oh before I forget the OP song is laughably bad |
| An intriguing and gripping first episode. Mai's death was fairly predictable (rain, asthma, shinigami main character, etc.) and abrupt, but the lead-up and aftermath was delivered effectively. I'm not usually one for "messages" in anime, but I can appreciate the one in this episode. Mai trusted Kouta with Blue, so rather than treat him as a scapegoat for her death, Blue can be a testament to the ephemeral, yet impactful connection they shared. |
