| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Fantastic episode. There's the fictional world setting with the cold temperature but I really like how Fushi is introduced into the show. There's even some room for comedy with his scenes, which I find to be amusing. There's a lot of human emotions shown in this episode including Fushi's personal feelings, tears, and chemistry with that wolf. A great start imo. |

| WOW OH WOW, what a MAGNIFICENT beginning. The COVID delay of this show is well worth the wait. From the author of A Silent Voice, and this premiere episode is already a great indication of Brain's Base's 20-episode adaptation...and I'm already melting in tears. The spirited nameless boy with the wolf that he calls "it" Joan on a journey akin to the post-apocalyptic setting of Girls' Last Tour. Seeing all the graves where people have died in the vast wilderness, he can try being positive, but reality will sink in like a howling cry to depression. With "it" taking the shape of the nameless boy, there we begin the story of Fushi, and Tsuda Kenjiro being the narrator, this experience is 100 more times alluring the same way as A Silent Voice did. If anything, this is by far one of, if not, the best masterpiece-level premiere episode of the Spring season, and I would not have it any other way. Chapter 1 adapted to perfection with the overwhelming feels, and I can't wait to have my heart and eyes be heart-painfully hit and teared more than ever before. |

| @Supercuecaaa yes there is, Hikaru Utada's OP "Pink Blood" used for the ED. It's a one-off thing. |
|
| Episode 1 was absolutely awesome! I couldn't endure crying. I made my heartache.. I'm looking forward to watching the next episode. Hikaru Utada's ED matched the atmosphere of the story very well. |

| Think this will be 100x more emotional than silent voice |
| Sadly too obvious that the boy wouldn't make it :( But that's beside the point. It didn't take away from the impressive presentation and the impact of the episode. This feels like something special. Good shit fr. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The premise already hit hard in the feels, this'll be a great ride for sure. |
 |
| Damn, watching this episode reminded me just how good the early stuff was from the manga. Although I'm not too big on the developments that are going on in the manga right now, the early stuff in the manga was fantastic, and everything covered by this 20-episode anime should be nothing but great stuff. For me, To Your Eternity has one of the best first chapters for a manga series, and I'm glad the anime was able to capture what made the chapter so good. It had the feel of a short movie, and it's great! The direction and storyboarding in this episode was really good too. It set up the atmosphere perfectly. The ending was expected, but it doesn't take away from its impact. And also, the boy's voice acting was fantastic! Absolutely great for a newcomer. Since the immortal being has taken his form, he'll basically be the voice of the protagonist of this show as long as the being keeps his form. Definitely premiere of the season. |
 |
| Really excited for this! Loved the manga, can't wait to see how Brain's Base handles this adaptation! But a quick look at the staff and how we have a 20 episode count, I think we're in for a treat. Sadly the episode isn't out yet on Crunchyroll but I'm super excited. |

| Just like the first chapter experience, it still makes me teared. The overall presentation was almost a movie, they really captured the mood of the manga. Plus Hikaru Utada's voice suits this kind of anime. What a journey this will be. Currently reading the manga up to the 3rd arc. 1st major arc is my favorite so far, which will be adapted on next episodes. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| It was as good as it could get. I’m not really surprised, the arcs the anime is gonna cover are top tier. Great first episode |
| thanks to crunchyroll I finally got to see it for a second time with sub this time and man it really hit the feels all over again, I was worried for the series when the first trailer dropped but I regret worrying over it now. the ost really brought the emotions in the scenes it sounded so nice and fit really well first ep made me fall in love with Fushi and the nameless boy all over again, I can't wait for next week |

| Awww I thought this was going to be about an alien boy AND his dog... guess I was only half right |
| I've only read the 1st Chapter of the Manga so far, It was already emotional reading it and I think they made a really good job Adapting the 1st Chapter of the Manga It still made me Emotional like when I was reading the 1st Chapter of the manga (maybe even more I would say xD) It was a really good Episode, I'm really looking forward to the future Episodes. |
 |
| What a bittersweet premise! |
Check out my channel @Criticiza on Youtube to watch my vids ;) |
| Probably the most I’ve cried at an anime ever. Absolutely beautiful adaptation by Brains Base so far |
 |
| Exceeded my expectations in every aspect |
| it's my best anime for this season |
 If it looks like I stand no chance I’ll run away and think up a new plan, but otherwise, I should see how strong it is with my own eyes, right? |
| AHHHH my most anticipated anime of the season is finally out and it really exceeded all of my expectations, and they were really high! Gave me the same feels that the manga did x10. Reminded me of my love for the nameless boy! Really stunning first episode, super happy as a manga reader. Next ep can't come soon enough...my girl March!! :,) |
 |
| Welcome my depression. RIP nameless boy. |
 |
| You know, I've been looking forward to this for a long time now (=> Yoshitoki Ooima-sensei) but I literally had no clue what to expect from this. PV gave off similar vibes but this episode. Just fantastic! What a sad way to part for the little boy, he tried staying positive to the very end and did a fantastic job at that. Seeing him break down near the rumbles was pretty touching though. Now "Joan" takes the form of the boy. Aside from the rock at first, it seems like a living being passing away gives it the "stimulation" required to change forms. Definitely curious to see how this'll play out! Next episode's preview, two beings who want to survive. Now that's touching stuff! Also, is that God in TsudaKen-san's voice? |

| It breaks heart seeing such optimistic boy dying.. until the end he remained very optimistic about their return. I wish i could see Joan more but it seems this is the end. Overall.. BEST PREMIER OF THE SEASON. |
| Koe no Katachi literally saved my life, I’ve waited years for Oima-sensei’s next work to come and when Fumetsu started I immediately fell in love with it. I’m so happy this has finally been animated. Couldn’t be more pleased with the first episode. As expected, it covered the first chapter which gives some valuable backstory about “it” and how it gains its form. the boy’s death is really heartbreaking when you think about how he waited for his villagers to come home for years. Utada Hikaru OP is absolutely beautiful as you’d expect. By far the best Japanese singer in recent memory and she didn’t disappoint. I was a bit worried about Brain’s base considering season 1 of Oregairu was the last thing I saw from them and it was a meh adaptation, but looks like we in good hands. |

| the tears wont stop |
| Damn, that OST is really something.... |
| Alone in that snowy environment, wow that's cruel, it was sad for that boy who eventually died... but at least the dog took his form and is going to travel like that, I like the bit of magic they added to something that feels very realistic... anyway it was great for a 1st episode, animation/soundtracks are really good and it was captivating, I'm looking forward to seeing the beginning of his travel in the next episode, the preview is interesting. |
 |
| What a beautiful beginning to this show the ost is really great. I was crying during the whole episode. It was worth the wait. |

| Couldn't ask for a better adaptation 11/10 |
| Time to takedown Mushishi from the throne. |
| Amazing start to a series, packed with emotional fun. This will be a hell of a ride. |
 |
| aaaaa it's finally here ;_______________; And this is looking like a damn great adaptation, i'm glad ! |
 |
| They delay for the air date put me off and concerned me. Thankfully I was worrying for no reason, as this adaptation was top tier. Easily anime of the season so far. |
| :3 |
| The "What If..." version of The Thing? |
| The pacing was PERFECT! I did not think they would only adapt the first chapter in the first episode, but I hoped they did AND YES THEY DID. Aggh the arstyle is also perfect, ngl this episode is a 10/10 for me. Every feels there was from the manga was also in the anime, they did such a good job. I don't regret waiting for so long as I did, not even a little bit! |
| You know it’s a good sign when an anime can get you feeling emotions in its first episode. This premise has so much potential and the great execution in this episode has quenched any lingering concerns I had. Certified banger. |
| Excellent concept on socialization through a supernatural entity - an orb, a blank slate. It was inevitable that the boy was going to die, but it was sweet to see his aspirations for the short amount of screen time he did receive. |
 |
| Probably one of the best first episodes I've seen in a while. I absolutely love how they used this episode to set up the story, this seems hella promising. |
| Wonderful first episode. From the music, to the visuals, to the emotions it was conveying. It most definitely hit the mark. |
