| apart from the CG overload this show is definitely a keeper. anything that can give me that higurashi vibe deserves to be watched. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| Was this adapted from a VN? The dates flashed and I was like "oh I'm sure something tragic is going to happen and some kind of time travel/time slip will be involved." |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| It took me 5 minutes to give up on this. Reason one being the terrible animation. Considering it's a primary part of an anime, you'd think they'd quality check it. I spent most of the 5 minutes trying to figure out if I was watching a full cgi or not. The quality is at that level, but it's lightly brushed over so it's not completely obvious. The second is just VN adaptions are a dime a dozen. If it doesn't hook me quick, there are 11 more I can try that I might actually want to finish, or may be even connect with. |
| Well IDK what to say in here, but the ending caught me off guard for it. But then she appears at the ending scene, WTF. The animation, and character designs felt bad and peculiar, so I hope they improve it in later episodes. Though I'm pretty interested in the story like a time loop theme in here. Also the Silver or White Hair girl looked interesting at the end there. |
| I liked it but was rather disappointed since I was kind of hoping for this to be a hidden gem of sorts and although it's still early to say, the premise didn't give me that impression. I guess I'm mainly faulting the sub-par animation & the fact that Sou seems a bit too dense for the MC of a show that I'll want to take seriously. However, the later may be a temporary thing though so it's just a 1st glance complaint more than anything. Oh well,even if it's not a hidden gem,I still want to expect a few good things from it. I wonder what reputation does the VN have... |
8igfan said: Gotta echo what some other people said. Kaori dying after getting hit by the truck then coming back in the next scene was a bit odd but I interpreted it as the cube having the ability to reverse time thus she's alive again. I just can't see them killing such an important character off so early though I'm sure other anime have done that before lol. Other than this, the anime was pretty fun to watch imo. The characters had unique personalities, the kicks lol and a good atmosphere all around. I do wonder if Kaori will end up dying later on though I have a feeling that it was purposely done to show the cube and to let us know that both Kaori and Sou like each other. ^ This |

| Most of the episode I was just thinking "Ugh, another one of these animes", with cliche's out the wazoo, but obviously the end through that for a bit of a loop. I think the countless cliches are there just to lull you into a false sense of security so its a bigger deal when something surprising happens and it worked pretty well, and Kaori coming back in the preview is giving me some Higurashi vibes that have me interested. |

Yeah, the ending pretty much saved this for me. I tought it would be a sure drop (terrible animation, meh drama) right until the last 5 min. All in all I think they did a great job. I mean, they got me from a "sure drop after 3 episodes" to "excited for the next episode" in less than 3 minutes time... That is impressive, no matter how you look at it. It's only a shame that the animation is so bad. |
| ok so far we got a half-assed mc harem lead ( common) and a confession on the 1st episode followed by death. then something time-related happens with a cube glowing and the everybody is back to normal with a naked girl appearing out of thin air. Come on now... admit it.... you know you want more of this at the moment... |
| Everybody has the right to have his own opinion on something.And you do have the right to disagree with them.But that doesnt give you the right to impose your opinion on others, even though you do have the right to think you are fucking awesome. |
| No loop shit or something like that again, please. This is droppable but I'll keep watching it for the moment. Also, the character design is so fucking awkward, I don't know it feels like heavy rotoscoping but hand drawn. |
 |
| I enjoyed it more than I expected to. Reminded me of Steins;Gate; if it will be half as good then I'll be satisfied. |
| your waifu is shit |
| Lmao, whats with the animation huh? But even though I am confused in the happenings, good start, I support you Kaori for Sou but I don't like him, dense guy is dense. Yeah, I didn't played the VN so I hope it'll be good. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I Read through all the comments here and found that this guy perfectly blind-guessed the correct ending ~ rofl. Kudos to this genius. xD |

| I couldn't get into it at all. Characters and animation, both are bad. |
| I thought it was the typical school club VN anime adaptation until she got hit by the bus and then appeared alive right after. The hell is going on? |

rodac said: For those who are having difficulty with what happened: If you look at the French subtitle of the show you'll see it's "In search of a lost future" or something to that effect (Not totally fluent in French, but I can usually make it out). Combine that with the very brief scene at the start with the lab and what looked like human bodies in those fluid filled tubes, and you should get the idea that this is not just a school romance, there is probably something deeper underneath that will need to be uncovered as part of the action. Second thing is that this is based on an adult visual novel with multiple routes. Those two factors lead to a couple of possible reasons why we saw Kaori die in the first episode and then had a reset: 1. They animated one of the bad ends and then went back to the beginning 2. A big part of the plot is trying to avoid the death of Kaori, and someone is manipulating time Note that these are not mutually exclusive solutions. That having been cleared up, I'll have to agree that the animation wasn't all that good in this first episode. In some of the VN reviews I've seen they single out the quality of the artwork, so that is actually a big disappointment. Hopefully it will get better, or the rumoured uncensored version becomes available (haven't checked ATX schedule yet to confirm if it exists). Thanks for the explanation. I was kinda confused after watching it. |
SakBoyK said: The animation reminded me of White Album. And holy crap that ending, Kimi ga nozomu eien anyone? Yes, it was my first thought, but no, it seems to be very different kind of show. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| It had quite a few funny scenes in this first episode, yet it seemed to jump all over the place really fast, hopefully the show explains itself in the upcoming episodes. |
 |
Funi also fuck up |
 |
| I knew about the VN and saw some images of it a while ago and somehow it watching the anime gave me a strangely familiar feeling. The characters seems interesting except for Kaori she came over like the typical Yamato Nadishiko to me which made her seem a bit boring. I expected something would happen to her ones she confessed but i didn't expect it would happen this episode. And that cliffhanger turned out even stranger that expected which makes me look forward to next episode. I have a feeling i know what's going on but wether the next episode will confirm that is still a question. |
| well that was boring |
 |
| Well that quickly took a dark turn I blindly went in, knowing nothing about the synopsis and genre. It felt fun, by having Airi, Kenny and Hanamiya around the club and and they seem to love the role of being the disciplinary officers. Then the cliffhanger happened. Heaps of explaining to do, beginning with how or why Kaori is still alive, as I'm left feeling bewildered and confused Seeing as this went from being a comedy/romance to mysterious/supernatural, I'm now psyched for the next episode. |
 |
| The animation is a bit disappointing. Seems a bit like Gokukoku no Brynhildr to be honest. Seems interesting though. Well... that escalated quickly. Holy shit. I bet there's some genre tags missing in this anime entry *scared* |

| time shift? hmm, won't continue... |
| Art and animation aside the story is entertaining enough for me to continue it |

| wtf? Did she die? Why was she seen in what I guess was the preview for the next episode? This is so confusing. Why do anime based on VN's always do weird stuff? I mean I kinda like the supernatural genre but it has to be done properly and VN's rarely manage to pull that off for some reason. I hope they have some explanation for what is happening relatively soon because that end was just confusing. |

| I'm curious to know what the fuck happening. Will continue watching this. |
| The fight animation was pretty cool but is this a time loop thing like blazblue? |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
shirozuki said: The fight animation was pretty cool but is this a time loop thing like blazblue? Or maybe like in Steins;Gate: trying to prevent the girls death over and over again, each time is different, etc. |
|
| Ending wasn't very clear for me I think it will become clearer in the next episode. Some of the animations weren't very fluid, but it doesn't bother me. Love the characters!!! Especially Osafune (the English speaking guy). Can't wait till next week! |
 |
| Dunno what happened. Too messy. Are they even trying? |
| I had the original eroge -game's image set for a while and was confused seeing why did the girls look so familiar. Now I was pleasently surprised since having some context to the characters the images are going to be in good use now. ;) As for the show itself. The animation looks a bit dated, but the characters look pretty good. I'm guessing there will be a deep plotline and complicated romance, but oh well. Atleast I have my eroge pictures to boost my motivation to keep watching this show. |
| WTf just happened!!! Ehhhh...Did she die? Then how did I see her in the preview!! EHHHH!!! I will definitely watch ep two! I need to know wtf happened!!! |
""You think you're special? You're not. Everyone lies, everyone hides things... Nobody makes it through this life being completely honest." - Izaya |
| If it weren't for the hook at the end, this would have been a terribly boring first episode. Of course they pull something like that at the end to make people come back... Can't say I care for any of these characters. They're so bland. |
| Am i the only one who expected the end of this episode? First episode, daily life stuff and after that a confession...so something had to happen in the last few minutes...and this supernatural stuff at the end, also very cliche, maybe some time reverse stuff or so... |
| Duh. |
| First episode was a good one to me. The love interest started already instead of waiting halfway through the season. I enjoy the ass-kicking, astronomy, group of friends all seem like interesting characters too. Ending confused me, but I'm sure they knew that people were going to be confused about that. Although, if they wanted shock factor, they probably should have changed the next episode preview. The animation didn't bother me at all, I rather liked it. It's different enough without being overly eccentric. I think I can really like this anime, but the story has yet to develop, can't wait for episode 2 |
