| I don't like how useless the female lead is at the moment :/ Hopefully she will step it up. But the guys were hot : D |
| I can tell it's an anime that won't appeal to everyone already xD I thought it was interesting, a good start, i just hope it doesn't get worse later on ^^~ |
| Really like the color scheme and character designs. The eyes really stand out! And I wonder if the main heroine personality will change unless she was already soft spoken before losing her memories :/ |
 |
| The OP was so awesome . The content really looked like a game imo . And the girl's design is so beautiful . Wonder what's about that promise . It might involve that blue haired guy . |
 |
| Well this was.. something... So this is a reverse harem eh? The main character has less personality than I thought she would.. (heck she doesn't even have a name) but I guess I can chalk that up to the amnesia, even though I'm pretty sure personality would be mostly unaffected. god Orions so freaking annoying -_- He talks about everything, which is probably them trying to keep the heroin as vague and bland as possible to make it easier for people to put themselves in her shoes. Are these guys supposed to be dressed normally? I mean look at Ken, is that his normal attire?! Seriously, with they way they look I expect some heavy super natural element (There could be for all I know, this is still the first episode after all) Well, I won't drop it after the first episode at least, although I didn't get much from this. Ill give it a bit longer, if I can stomach Orion that is >_> He alone is making me want to drop this. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| LOL. People dropping at the first episode. Before judging if it's good or bad, try and watch a bit more. First episodes are always introductory. Honestly, I liked the first episode. It was really slow, but I have my biases to the characters XD so I enjoyed it a lot more. Hopefully the next episode is faster. @AnimeForDummies: I believe her personality does change after regaining her memories. I remember in Toma's route she changed quite a bit. |
| I am lolling at all the haters here. I mean, come on, it's an reverse harem: you actually expected quality? You trolls. I was quite expecting something from Amnesia, for an otome adaptation that is by Brains Base. Okay, Orion is pretty annoying and as for the Heroine: you can't expect a straight-forward someone in a freakin reverse harem anime. The only one who did actually kick some balls is Felicita from Arcana Famiglia, pretty much the only reverse harem girl who ruled. So let's just talk about the other characters in this show, yes? Yes, the boys are pretty, otherwise I would not even want to watch this series, and responsible too, okay, and already hitted on the Heroine in the past, according to her memories. That is at least something. Also, those eyes... Uncosplayable, lolol. I am looking forward to get to know why the Heroine actually lost her memories and what that green-haired guy that looked like N from Pokémon has to do with it. I guess the promise that she made had to do about quit going to work so the bishounen would look after his fangirl group and not after the Heroine. And I am used to fainting girls: go watch Mawaru Penguindrum. About the clothing: those maid and butler uniforms are lovely. The other 'regular' designs are just LOLWHAT. I mean, yes, I like the designs, but they are just really ridiculous. But those voices \o/ Okay, you got me, this show will probably not get very good, but at least I am enjoying it. ^^ |

| It was okay. It reminds me of Arcana Famiglia and La Corda D'Oro combined. Gorgeous animation and music. Hot guys. Truth. 3/5, but I'm gonna follow it. Are these guys supposed to be dressed normally? I mean look at Ken, is that his normal attire?! Seriously, with they way they look I expect some heavy super natural element (There could be for all I know, this is still the first episode after all) Yeah the fashion is odd. lol |
| You can easily say it is really odd. Just that hunter jacket... Not just Ken, also Shin. |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| Hm interesting start...and of course, still very mysterious. The girl seems to be very timid, even her voice. At least I don't find her annoying yet. The eyes are really pretty and colorful. The OP is also very good, but the ED... |
| Wow does the main girl really need to have such an annoying voice? =_= I understand she's confused and all, but she's way too soft-spoken. Hate it. This did feel a little too 'gamey', but besides her voice I still really enjoyed it. For whatever reason. The character design, music, and art (LOVE the texture on their clothes) sure are beautiful. I'm mainly here for the guys, but hopefully it manages to remain entertaining. |
 |
| Sometimes I get disturbed over how bad some animes can get, and yeah, I'm quite disturbed by this shit. 1/5 |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
Bakken said: Sometimes I get disturbed over how bad some animes can get, and yeah, I'm quite disturbed by this shit. 1/5 LOL. Me too, buddy. At least the eyes were pretty, right? I was halfway through the first episode when I just thought "I can't do this anymore." This looks like such a weak series from the start. Not going to continue watching - just going to remove from my list and forget about it. 1/5 |
"Cheer up, you’re never alone! There is probably at least 1 bug in your room." |
| Wow, somehow, there was a strange feeling all the time watching the episode. But I liked it. I have never seen a show before with the concept of Amnesia. How will the stoy envolve? |
 |
DragonsWhip said: You can easily say it is really odd. Just that hunter jacket... Not just Ken, also Shin. Ken looks like he would fit in more at a cosplay convention than walking down the street, its pretty funny honestly. He would actually look pretty awesome if he pulled out a gun and started shooting at things. |
If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| i was wondering why this was so bad, turns out it's another otome game adaptation, that explains it |
 |
| Ehh maybe it's just not my cup of tea, but this was very boring. Only thing that interested me was the art and the opening song. Everything else from the story to entertainment was pretty sub-par. I'll give it a few more episodes before i decide if i want to drop or not... |
| I'm supposed to choose my favorite guy in this kind of anime right? I pick Touma! haha, I really wonder if it's fun to play reserve harem romance game... Their clothes are so weird, but I guess they are not going to change. Well, it doesn't say much in the first ep... I have to watch the ep 2. |

Not going to continue watching - just going to remove from my list and forget about it. 1/5 Honestly, the plot for Amnesia is great, and I think you should watch until episode three at least for it to develop more. Whether or not you do is your choice not mine. It's possible this might go to shit like every other otoge adaptation so far (except Utapri, that was... okay. Arcana Famiglia was... not that good). But it's Brain's Base and a trustable studio, so I think it's worth trying longer. |
| i kinda like the fact her "name" is heroine, even if you have amnesia, you should have an id or something, not that it matters that much, but it feels kinda awkward still nice anime, probably one of the best this season |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |

Check Alice from Heart no Kuni no Alice as well. While she may not be a fighter, she is quite cynical & tough. Anyway, while the synopsis sounded interesting, the episode premise was quite boring. While the whole amnesia thing is cliche, it is just an excuse for Heroine to interact with the other characters. Also, there are so many ways for Heroine to find who she is. I mean, what about her personal files? Or what about her parents? Unless they magically disappeared like her cellphone contacts. But compared to other reverse-harem anime, this one has some good production values. Anyway, I do not expect much, this one looks like another eyecandy series, similar to K. |
| I hope her personality really changes. I god damn hate shy/clumsy female characters. as for the episode it was ok, nothing special other than the cool opening. 3/5 |

Her name is actually not an issue in the game, she finds out early via her I.D. card :p |
 |
| I liked it. But I was not expecting things to be SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME from this adaptation, so for me, for what I was expecting, it was pretty good. I've seem worse. I got curious to know more about the plot and so on... But the heroine is a slowpoke, that is for sure. Hope it change a little. DragonsWhip said: The other 'regular' designs are just LOLWHAT. I mean, yes, I like the designs, but they are just really ridiculous. Yep. I was thinking that too. I tought they were in some alternative world or something XD But heroine's outfit is cute And she has a Navi (Zelda feelings)! |

| This episode was ok,nothing great though.I really liked the character design and the ways their eyes look.The OP was good but the ED was boring and shitty.I really hope the anime gets interestinger because I don't plan on dropping this but if it gets worse I'ma be forced to. |
| Definitely not the target audience for this, but the art style grabbed me and to be honest the first episode wasn't terrible (at least compared to what I expected). |
| A bit late but here is the opening for the people who are interested..sounds really nice :) |
| A pretty good start I should say. It looks promising. |
 |
| The eyes look great. Although, the female character irritated me to no end. Unless she changes or improves significantly, hope is lost for me for this anime besides it's character design. |

| What the hell are they wearing? o_o That aside, it did pretty much feel like an otome game (with some sort of contrived setup to get the female lead surrounded by a load of bishies), but the first episode was decent enough. Not sure if I'll pick this series up, but I'll give the second episode a try. |
| noooooooooooooooooooooo idea what happened lol |
 |
| I like the art a lot... the Heroine is a bit annoying. 0.o Hopefully she gets better as the story goes on. And the opening and ending are AWESOME. XD |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
RiukixD said: A bit late but here is the opening for the people who are interested..sounds really nice :) Oh Nagi <3 Is the Main Character actually close to kissing the crazy stalker in the OP? Oh wow. |
| Been waiting for this one! It's pretty easy for me to become hooked on amnesia stories since we're discovering things at the same rate as the protagonist (usually). Characters had great designs, I felt a Pandora Hearts vibe here and there. Main character was too shy but to be fair, she knows no one and there's a floating spirit that only she can see. OP was really amazing, ED was enjoyable too. I predict this show has a lot to give in later episodes as discovery plays a big part in this. Oh, and I thought everyone's eyes looked incredible. I've never seen such a different style for them like this before. I like it. |
| Boring. Simply that. As expected, to be honest. The art is pretty, I'll give that. I saw some people saying it's even prettier than the game, and if it's true it doesn't surprise me; most Brains Base adaptations that I watched had a better character design than the original work (Durarara!! and Natsume Yuujinchou come to my mind now).Also, I liked Ken. But that's just it. Unengaging dialogues, dull exposition from Orion and a game-feeling that doesn't really fit into anime format. And the worst of all... Heroine's voice. God, what a terrible voice performance. Stupidly lethargic. I was almost yawning after the first seven minutes and that was mostly because that. DAMN. VOICE. And she is voiced by the same seiyuu of amazing Frau from Robotics;Notes. Seriously, I'm baffled. Anyway a 5/10 episode, and I'm being generous. Because I liked Ken. Edit: I liked the OP song too. Nagi <3 But even the OP animation is boring. UtsukushiiYume said: LOL. People dropping at the first episode. Before judging if it's good or bad, try and watch a bit more. First episodes are always introductory. That doesn't mean they need to be boring. I know some VN adaptations that gripped the attention right in the first episode. Heck, even Arcana Famiglia started better than this. If people can't find any gripping factor in the first episode, how can they care for the rest? |

| When I saw the character designs, I definitely thought it would be in some castle... at least have clothing that fit the setting more. Much too over the top. They look like characters from a J-pop band doing a concert. I really should stop expecting anything good from reverse harems (game adaptations). Even if there are bishies and nice art. This is the third time now. =.= And first episode = first impression. Which was crap. Only good thing was the music. Don't like the game feeling. Don't like the girl. yokaii said: Unimpressed said: Orion commenting on everything what happens wasn't necessary. This. I don't need a commentary on a show I am watching, thank you very much. Especially when it's moving at the speed of a handicapped turtle. Will finish it though... hopefully. |

Unless she changes or improves significantly, hope is lost for me for this anime besides it's character design. Too bishie for you? Lol. Well, as I said originally, the eyes. They're what got me the most. This doesn't include the female character, I'm ignoring her for the time being. I'm sure some people are bothered by the multiple color eyes and I'm pretty sure some people aren't into the gradient/multiple hair color hairstyles for some reason based on the multiple of "hair colors you don't like" threads we've had in the past. So those two points are the only hate/love things I see about the overall design. Not too sure why you think they're 'hideous'. Though regardless, I can't see myself completing the anime unless the female character improves or changes. |
Post-Josh said: What an unforgivably bad episode. For shame, Brain's Base. Don't forget that the team working on this doesn't have any of great talents of Brains Base - no Takahiro Omori directing and no Takagi Noboru working on the script, for example. And that's why this barely looks like a Brains Base work for me (just the same as Sengoku Collection).

Actually the design is kinda unoriginal, but there's some good use of colors for the hairs and mainly in the eyes. But the clothes... They look forced. Because f*ck yeah bishies need to look cool. |
| "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| @Paul: Too bishie, yes, but mostly the second part. Wild, multi-coloured eyes, hair, and clothes, really turn me off. They don't even look remotely human.

| I'll just sit here and wait for one of the male characters to say her name. I mean they can't go the whole series or until she gets her memory back without saying it. ... Right? ..RIGHT? Personally, I burst out laughing at Kent's outfit. The rest of them look OK in my book, but then his- just- what were they thinking? |
| Nice characters design, the eyes look pretty strange to me. Its the first episode so I don't expect much, it will be great if the way the heroine speak change as the story progress. I mean she sound so weak, its irritating. |
 |
| Hmm, the heroine has amnesia, and that faerie thing is stuck in her soul, and she can't really think of anything. For a first episode it was ok I guess..... I also hate the sound of the heroine's voice and they characters' eye designs. Maybe it'll grow on me? I mean if Haruka from UtaPri grew on me, I guess these characters can too. Well on the upside we have bishies! I knew this was probably a visual novel before an anime. For some strange reason this anime reminds me alot of UtaPri! |

Looking at some renowned Brains Base titles youcan see some patterns on each production team, like the presence of at least one of the names that I mentioned. Or the presence of some magnificent bastard making authorial stuff like Mawaru Penguindrum with the studio. But then, Amnesia looked like a production of a bunch of no-names from since the staff was announced. I know I haven't watched much anime, but those relations of staff/quality don't look like coincidences to me anymore. Codege-ass1 said: I knew this was probably a visual novel before an anime.

| "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| Havnt played the game so after this first ep im still lost. But im going to keep watching, Im still interested and even if it turns out horrible oh well. I like it so far. |
| Gonna keep watching this, and I'm rooting for blue haired guy to get the main girl. #GoIkki. |
