Amnesia Episode 1 Discussion

punkerella said:
This episode seemed pretty decent. I liked the OP and ED songs and the art is unique, but in a good way. Although, this episode seemed a little slow paced for my liking, but nonetheless I will continue watching this series.

Also, does anyone know if this is reverse harem? I was looking at all the characters on here and the anime, both gave off that feel.

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.

Already watched Heart no Kuni and read the manga, lol. Loved the manga. Movie was less, because of all the stories mixed together. Did not watch K yet. Wanted to do that, but then a guy of my blog picked the anime up and he did not like it cause he is not that into josei, so I don't know how K really is. And yes, she should have check her wallet. I would have done that. If I did that know, I would know who was important to me and I at least would now in what place I would live thanks to Google Maps(Let's ignore the Australian 500 km accident for a bit), hah. I guess she is not really smart.

Production values? I saw lots of huge close-up with little movement, and even a time that there was no sound for like 10 seconds when the Heroine was thinking in her room. But at least the designs are funky weird nice. I especially like the clothing of the Heroine. It just might be that she actually turns awesome at one point, lol. But I think she will be moping about who she is and do nothing about it for 2 more episodes. If it continues after that, I am getting less interested.

Stil looking forward to the next episode~

1st Episode Impressions:

Overall it seems like a good anime a little confusing but they migth explain more in other episodes , as you migth tell its about a girl who lost her memory , a spirit called Orion is going to help her have her memory back

The story doesnt seem bad , i dont think im an anime expert , but in overall it has a good story i never seen an anime like this ( whem say seen , i mean fully watched an anime with this type of story) but i think it migth get better after some episodes

I liked the art in the anime for some reason i think its because of their eyes their eyes are so colorfull they have so much colors in just one eye, i thiink they kinda describe how the character is and it shows how our eyes show emotions so well


Im not sure if i recomend it but i guess i'll say yes you migth have a good time watching but you're going to wait for new episodes to come.

Unimpressed said:
That wasn't particularily impressive as it lacked any entertainment value for me. The pace is unreasonably slow and Orion commenting on everything what happens wasn't necessary.

I know you have best intentions and you are a fan but...
I wonder why spoiler tags were invented? You just spoiled the character. Those who havent played the game AKA the majority here (including me), wont find it fun. PLEASE, next spoilers you want to give, put them under spoiler tag. Thank you.

Poo

It would have been so much better if you'd just done this with what looks like a detailed spoiler that ruins a plot surprise...

(since you're manipulating size with BBCode you should know how to introduce spoiler tags)

As it is I'll keep watching because I find the heroine cute and appealing, but I won't have the thrill of discovery when we get the reveal. I think the amnesia--slow release of information--gimmick is actually a large part of its charm. As for the haters, 90% of them will be gone by episode 3 (the other 10% will act as trolls for the entire season) so just put up with them.

Oh hai. Thanks for spoiling half of the plot. We have spoiler tags for a reason ಠ_ಠ

ins-chan said:

yes. it seemed too much like a game which I HAVEN'T PLAYED
goddamn it if the heroine is gonna be this annoying I don't watch it.
also their clothes ohhh my god the character designer should be sent to work in a coal mine

RH_fan said:
Well yeah you do! but sorry because missy here is just new in town so just anyone who saw my post just ignore it, because it only happened in the game, so try to be more positive about it will you?

rodac said:


No problem--we were all new here at one point. You can go back and edit your posts to put the offending passages in spoiler quotes. The format is (spoiler) offending material (/spoiler) and you replace the regular parentheses I used with square brackets "[" and "]" (don't use the quotation marks). It actually took me several attempts to put your message in a spoiler because of the close spacing of the various BBCodes.

Amnesia will probably get more than it's fair share of flaming for the first couple of episodes since the majority of MAL posters are likely neither shoujo or otome fans. Don't take it too seriously and don't feel obligated to respond to every negative comment--some of them will be honest critiques or expressions of opinion but some of them will be trolls or sock puppets and comments back just provoke them into even more outrageous posting behaviour.

Yamuraiha said:
It was a pretty good first episode, in my opinion. Otoge adaptations aren't always good, but this seemed fine. Then again, we've only seen the first episode so far. I'm not keeping my hopes up too high, but I've loved Amnesia since the game so I'm hoping everything turns out good.

I also hope they animate all the routes. But then again (major spoilers below):



But then again, we don't know yet.

rodac said:
Yeah, there actually are some posting rules and etiquette. Using spoiler tags is one of the more important ones, particularly if you are talking about what will happen in the future as opposed to what might happen based on your knowledge of the game, manga, light novel or visual novel. They are also useful if you want to make comparisons with other shows . It does give you the choice, although I find a spoiler very difficult to resist. You also need to be careful about reading the character descriptions on the anime pages since they will often give away important plot points.

RH_fan said:
your an expert on this arent you? -_-

YorozuyaGinSan said:



I know your intentions were to get him to tag the spoilers... but you both just reposted it, increasing the likelyhood of seeing it 3x...

RH_fan said:
Good News Guys! the spoiler i took from is a just a fanfiction from another person -_- and I confirmed it through her comments so RELAX now sorry for the inconvenience
