As long as it doesn't devolve into a love triangle with a bitter end i'm fine.

Wouldn't make sense for her to make a familly in this time, bet she'll find a way to go back to the future.

I really don't want to drop the show too early but I can't find it to myself to give a care for our female MC.

because it almost feels like she rode the cock carousel, then when she got older she can't ride it anymore, and now she wants to go back to being young again to ride the cock carousel again.

oh, and that she isn't very moe. looks like an aged old hag to me but i dunno. probably another reason why I can't force myself to give a care for her.

I honestly really enjoyed this episode, and will certainly be continuing.



I don't. I just saw it as nagging and a way to pull me down from achieving my dreams.

edit: aaaaaaaaaand I saw the phrase that I hate the most. "single mother".

This is the most beautiful opening episode I've seen in a long time, and that says a lot considering how awesome this season is.. The colors are amazing, and I like what they're doing with having the main girl "colorblind." It has lots of potential for a deep story.

Remember that one meme about Abe and that anime about a married guy and girl and the agenda of "marry and reproduce"?

well, this anime more sounds like "have empathy and marry and reproduce". Clearly just shouting "get married" left and right doesn't give any results. ((((they)))) must have figured out that people need to have empathy or something. I saw that "single mother" line and it just hit me.

edit: the fact that this is ALSO an anime original as the other one is also a big hint for me. goddammit now I want to see memes of this anime and Abe and the whole "marry and reproduce".

Obviously the visuals were great. The CG background characters in the first scene had me concerned but it turned out undeniably very beautiful. Immersive at points. So, there's still a lot we don't know but the episode never had me frustratedly wondering what's going on. The pacing was decent so I'm happy to continue and learn more.

The anime looks great, great art style and really good BG art and the background music for the different scenes is done pretty well too.

Don't know what to feel about the protagonist girl tbh.

Also wanna know more about how magic functions in their world.

The girl is colorblind? But she sees the colours in the guy's drawings...

Liked the fist ep. As others have stated the artwork was amazing and apparently it has a lot of the same staff from NagiAsu, so yeah that's to be expected. MC is not really interesting yet. My favorite scene was definitely when the MC could see colors from the guy's art. Curious about what comes next.

So far this anime has me with some mixed feelings. On one hand- I absolutely love PA works background art and animation, the bg designer for angel beats and nagi no asakura never ceases to amaze me. I do love the magical premise and time reversal premise, I think that shows some promising and maybe even unique plot points. However I think where this story may end up shooting itself in the foot is that there are already some somewhat predictable romance points in it. PA are known for their romance and drama but it’s now a question on if this will be a Angel beats level romance drama or a Nagi no Asakura one. My account name may give it away but I’m pretty knee deep in romance plots and to be honest it may partially be my fault that I probably don’t see “the colour” in romance plot lines tropes like I used to. The pv for this anime also gavs off strong waifu wars vibes towards the end sooo I’m not sure. That’s not saying it won’t be a good anime if it does have romance drama in it, I really want to see this anime do it’s tropes good. Clichés aren’t bad if they are done well. And hell my first impression of the “romance tropes” could be completely wrong and the anime could go in an entirely different direction.

I will say however it’s not quite violet evergarden level as of yet. It could be as it progresses. But as an animation student I can say that Violet Evergardens animations and asethetic still come over this so far and I’m speaking as someone who is way more a PA nerd than a Kyoani one.

Overall I enjoyed episode one and I’m gonna keep tuning in to this weekly. It’s hard to judge entirely by episode one and this could become one of my favourite anime’s this season. It’s given itself some high bars already to keep up with so let’s wait and see!

I feel her “colour blindness” comes from the fact that in a world where magic is a norm, she has found that she can’t see the colours or wonders in life anymore. It could be that she is depressed or that she has a disconnect from the world. She’s already shown herself to be a disassociative character.

When she saw the artwork, she saw a hint of colour in the world. Maybe because she saw something in the imagination and creativity in art that magic couldn’t capture.

I don't mean literally when I said cock carousel. it's figure of speech. I could replace that with anything else but the point is she had her fun when she was young and she got older and she wants to extend her fun young age. to put it in another way, she wants all the benefits and zero consequences.

what I'm getting from her is something like "I want to rob a bank, I want all the money, and I don't wanna go to jail". I dunno how I get that impression out of her, maybe because she's acting all depressed and old and regretting the fun times she had when she was young.

Aha. I thought you meant she had lots of sex when she was younger which I could not see at all as she looks pretty introverted and doesn't have any friends. She does look kinda depressed though, but I think this will be addressed in future episodes.

It's really beautiful in terms of graphics, the story seems like the usual one or almost all of the productions of PA Works, the characters seem to already delineate well in terms of characterization. It inspires me enough to continue the vision.

So, she's travelled 60 years into the past. This should be interesting. She's not used to lacking 2078 technology, especially seeing how difficult it was for her to open that window.

Well, we met Hitomi Tsukishiro, a sort of magician that lost her hability to see color, in a festival her grandmother sent her to the past, the days she was studying magic. Hitomi ends up in the room of a guy named Aoi. She got out of the house and look for her grandmother's house, where she could find her grandmother's relatives. Surprisingly her grandma is abroad so she have to wait for her. Hitomi realizes that she lost her azurite and looking for it finally meet Aoi, whose drawings she can see in color.

Honestly, as the story still doesn't engage me. The visuals are incredibly beautiful, the characters, movements, backgrounds, details, fireworks, all of them are really good. I just can't forget the smile on Hitomi's grandmother while Hitomi was saying "noooo" and being transported to the past, she was just ignored, hahahaha.

Granny's in Hogwarts so Hitomi stays with granny's granny's place (same house)?
Kinda weird we didn't see enough of the 2078 world, then already jumped back to 2018, tho both are gorgeous including the pretty character designs.
Attention to detail in small gestures and Hitomi's shifty eyes gave the realism besides the magic theme.
Part where she was spirited away/timetravel on a magic school bus was quite surreal hope there's more of that. Oh the Aoi color art was really uplifting.

This is... weird. Let's just call it that. I have no idea where it's going, but then again this looks like your typical P.A. Works title, so I can't say that I'm surprised. Either way, if I at least get an interesting middle part of this run, I'd be happy enough. For now I'm enjoying the animation and music quality.

The girls seemed interesting yet somewhat lacking at the same time she game me the impression we can expect more from her.
As for the events they seemed interesting.
I also liked the part where she could not open the window it really showed that she is from a time period with advanced features to make life easy.

You're right it shows how far from this time is she that she almost couldn't open the window, but it seems that she is not a conversationalist.

The slow pace + surprising finale made it even better


I understand what you said but this isn't how is done as different series can have different and beautiful art styles and both can work. Violet evergarden is in my opinion the most beautiful anime i've ever seen so i can be biased but the art style of VE is what made me enjoy it the most along with the sad moments.

This anime is as beautiful as it gets but Violet is even better.

I wasn't obviously referring to the art style but the direction since violet evergarden's art on a production value is almost unbeatable
I even mentioned hibike euphonium, imo you can't just have good art with good drawings. kyoani made violet way too detailed and it was offputting to say the least, it wasn't something i'd have expected out of a kyoani anime and the direction was totally horrible.
The novel instead is very, very different. apparently kyoani can't make good adaptations but I appreciate their original works.

But that aside, it was a interesting episode. Not to mention that the art is truly stunning.

An eyegasm, just like everything from P.A. Works, but I'm not yet sure what I feel about this. I'll need more explanations because the slow personality of our heroine and the future we know almost next to nothing about didn't quite catch me yet.
What I could gather so far is that she might only see in black and white.

Pretty good start and I also liked the moment when her world became colorful. Still wonder whether she only sees past or if she's actually there to become part of it, it could turn into a big problem if not handled right. But certainly (a lot) better than Glasslip so far.

The only thing I didn't like was how her grandma forced everything on her and how her insecurity was used as plot-device. Also would be a lot better if she actually travelled back to fifties rather than to our present but well.. even all that the episode instantly grabbed my attention by its atmosphere.

lmao that was awkward at the end there, but ma body is ready for the potential romance <3 I'd be so pissed if the romance doesn't involve the protagonist but her grandma instead.

The setting definitely felt contrived though, but you gotta accept it for what it is I guess.
