| I personaly liked it. I can't judge it by this first episode though. well i'll have to see. |
 My dear weak spacenoids. THAT LEVEL OF LOVE CAN'T BREAK MY BODY OF STEEL! |
| At the very start of the episode, did anyone else besides me and the Japanese immediately think of AIR. I swear this is some crazy AIR+Higurashi spin off. |

| That was very interesting, I actually can't wait for the next episode. I don't really like the fact that Hayami gets beaten up, though it's refreshingly different. I hope that's gonna change real soon. |

| I found this episode to be very wierd. And it doesn't help that the character designs are kinda meh. I found the premise interesting since the main character is blind, but now he's not!? Let's see what kind of direction it takes. |
 |
| It was alright, the story seems interesting but got kind of confusing at the end. |
  |
| Nice episode, I really enjoyed it, and I was also a little shocked at the beginning when Hayami was being beat up but this first episode was very interesting nonetheless, I can't wait for episode 2^^, |
 |
| yeah i enjoyed the first episode, looks like something like ef- a tale of memories to me lol. looks like i found another anime i can enjoy |
     |
| The two horse guys during the sponsors cracked me up. It was a nice episode and it has my interest so far. Beating up a girl..*shaking my head* |

| They beat up a girl?? Oo |
 |
| Yes they did, 2 dudes in the beginning of the episode as well as (implied) at the end. |
| Hm.. I don't really know what to make of this show either but I will definitely watch the second episode. I also thought it looked a bit like EF in some parts of its animation :P |
 |
| Very interesting ep1.Pity that Hayami.Get beaten up.But why is suddenly Hirose can see again at the ending....Got to watch the next ep... |
 |
| My soul wasn't rocked, but it sure earned a spot there in the watching list. I liked the story at the beginning, it's part of a really nice song. Leave to Japan to make fanservice with a blind guy, lol. |
| The first episode seems like it could set up an interesting plot. The episode has a light-hearted tone and yet mystical at the same time. This series shows some promise. |
 |
| An anime starts off with a girl getting whipped...seems interesting xD From the looks of the first episode, this anime has a lot of potential. Definitely looking forward to how this plays out, just hoping I won't be disappointed later on...like with M;Y for example... PANTSU!!! |
| I think the opening sequence, where Hayami was being attacked, is what really got me interested. As with most series I watch, I came into this knowing nothing about it, and that scene... that scene alone is going to keep me watching. The character designs aren't fantastic, but the animation is very well done, and the music is quite good as well. It'll be interesting to see how this all develops. |

I haven't played the eroge game myself, but from what I heard, that scene showing her getting beaten up.... in the game, something else happened. *leer* |
| WOW!!! Interesting and disturbing at the same time. Looks like a fresh new series where it's gonna get me hooked for a while. Looking forward to getting to know more about the blind mysterious kid. |
 |
| Not sure why some of you don't understand. That spirit Takuma met, is the one who made him able to see. Only for a while though, it seems. She's the god, and Takuma is the other one we were shown in the beginning; footsteps in the sand. |

| It's hard to tell from the first episode, but the series looks promising. I can't wait to see how the characters develop and what their back stories are. |
  |
| Hmm nice ep i like it.. Character designs reminds me of Higurashi and it gave me a Higurashi feeling even thugh i know soon its gonna change!Even though i thought its gonna be abother typical anime the story shows a lot of potential... Well we can w8 and see.I also lik the op and end songs |
 |
| mhh plot seems to be ok, chars are the normal stuff... i think its quite nice , so looking forward for next ep.. |
| I really like it so far. Not many first episodes catch my attention as much as H2O, so I'm definately sticking with it ^^ If it continues in this way, or gets better, it might even make my top 5 ^^ |
  |
| Exactly I really like this episode already, at the end it catched my attention even more (if you saw it you know what I mean already). I for sure gonna watch more. |
 |
| I don't know if I liked it or not, but it left me wanting more which is a pretty good sign. |

adae said: I want to know the connection between Hayami and roaches, and why she's so bullied. Also, what's the deal with the train? Was Hirose involved in some sort of accident...? Perhaps he wasn't injured, but many people around him were, and his vision shut down as a self-defense mechanism. At any rate, I'll be watching this. Well from what the synopsis said, the train was probably the cause of his mother's death. |
 |
| hopefully this anime will have some great hooks that keep me watching throughout...and i know the girl getting beat up was shocking but i've got to say that it shows that this can get into some dark places...so hopefully this will lead to something a little out ordinary with darker back stories in place of just fluffy airheaded girls. |
 |
| This anime got my attention on the first episode. It defiantly got me hooked, and the fact that a blind kid is still able to get into some ecchi situations surprised me. I'm definitely going to enjoy watching this series it looks like it'll lead into some sad and dark elements later on... |
 |
| I liked this one more than I thought I would. I could do without the scenes of female battery and abuse, but I did like the supernatural stuff and the god. And I also appreciated that they managed to limit this episode to one panty shot (though it sure is an impressive one). I will probably keep watching to see where it goes. |

| I want some Hinata service.... Hayami as the resident tsundere is coming onto me. Otoha's a bit too happy right now. Maybe drama later. He sure is calm about suddenly being able to see. |
 Visit Borderline Hikikomori and the International Saimoe League! |
| It is better than I thought it would be :) |
     |
| The first episode shanked my attention. I'm definitly going to watch. on another note why does is say that it was aired in march 08? |

| I wasn't planning on watching this originally, but with the cute art, the same style as Ninomiya-Kun and MY, and an interesting premise with solid execution, this may become one of my favorite series. |
 |
| That was pretty bad. The episode wasn't really that interesting and I didn't get anything of the ending of this episode (Is Hayami (whatever her name is) dreaming or did it really happen?) The main character being blind is interesting, but I can't really see anything special they can do with it in this kind of anime. Anyway, I'll continue watching and hope it'll get better... TL;DR: Soul wasn't rocked. |
| I like it a lot. The poem has always been a favorite of mine, so I found it interesting that it will be the theme of this story. The animation is my style as well. The woman-violence I could do without, although I bet it's got nothing to do with her being a girl. (Actually, my first thought was "witch!", I don't know why...) I really liked Hinata right off the bat, so I don't like that she seems to support them beating up on Hayami. I'm not really into the fan service either... But, the plot has captured my attention indeed :D I will definitely watch more! |
mickal555 said: I mean, so the person went though these hard places, looked back and felt their was no magic spirit, the magic spirit clearly didn't do anything or help in any noticeable i.e helpful way, yet still manges get the credit for the people that survive. o_0 It wasn't that "he" felt no magic spirit during those times. His life is over and he's walking through his life with God, and this is when he notices for the first time that there are only one set of footprints. And this dumbfounds him, so he asks, and God tells him: etc. It's a poem about faith, and it's supposed to be comforting :) It probably means a bit more if you have some religious background, or belief. Call me crazy, but I think it's sweet ^^; |
| Good first episode,kinda confusing though xD |
| this is the first ep and its so interesting. I cant wait to see the next one |
 |
| Not a bad episode, but I can't really say that I liked it either. |
| hmmm i didnt understand the part where he sees everything and the next day he becomes blind again.... what does it mean? was it his dream? well the start of this series kind of impresed me... it looks weird but... i think im looking forward to the new eps of this anime :D (does everyone sees my signature and picture? cause i dont ^^) |
 |
mickal555 said: Ehehhehheh He was never blind! He's just a crafty little bugger :D What a way to get in all those positions :D Hahaha I thought the same thing. He's already felt up all the female leads :3 Interesting start, hopefully less pantyshot. It seemed out of place O.o |
