So, the opening and ending was wonderfully made and the music had a nice tone; however, what the hell is happening? No, seriously, maybe it was just me but I couldn't grasp really what was going on. Personally, I'm gonna wait till the next episode to see if I can find a bit more explanation, though the animation and mysterious characters are keeping me drawn in, I can’t find a conclusion to what I just watched. Oh well, I’m in it for the trek. Hopefully we see a much more smooth plot develop.

Well, I'm not saying not to watch it. I think it'll probably get better by the second episode, I just think the first one was kind of like a Haruhi Suzumiya type of confusion. xD

This is such a random anime but I like it. It's got that vibe where you got to piece everything together kind of like a jig-saw puzzle. Also the animation and cinematography's gorgeous. I think it'll be an interesting series.

It was interesting, throwing in ideas but that person that writes seems to control a lot of things, maybe whenever she rights a new story she makes reality, so that's the reason behind the sudden change in background. Seems like an interesting watch, kind of like higurashi no naku ni, they both kind of just throw you out there with very little on what's going on.

This was so random. I feel like I have just watched something which doesn't makes any sense to me. Weird stuff. I have read several reviews, and I suppose this is just what this anime is like in the start. I guess it really takes your concentration to be able to follow this one. Heck, this will be one hell of a ride for me. I am not sure if I will be able to watch all of it, but it sure is interesting.

Hey guys
U r all confused coz this episode actually isn't 1st one but almost last one. So U basically saw end before beginning haha ..

I made same mistake thats why i dropped watching for some time and im gonna watch it in future with right order...

This should be chronologically correct order:
26,24,23,22,21,(etc)....,1 and 25

This show was aired reversely for some reason.
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list )

Ah, so I wasn't the only one. I'm not the best person for when it comes to following the plot but yeah, I was certainly confused to no end. So I'm going to have to drop this one, too complicated for me. :\ Of course I'm mature enough to not give it a bad rating since I never give animes any ratings if I drop them since after all I didn't see everything to properly judge it. :)

Looked pretty good, I really like the almost shoujo-ish designs. Hopefully this comes together a little better than the Moonlight Lady OVA did.

That felt fast tbh. They know each other already or from the past and that kiss sealed the deal. Music is a bit shoujo-ish also. I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this.

I like a weird, keep me guessing story. This reminds me of another anime whose name I'm trying to dig up.

i found this one from Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito recommendations, it was similarly incomprehensible at the beginning

i initially picked this up cuz Yuu Kobayashi is in it. there was certainly no hand-holding in that "e1" and it seems like a lot of characters to keep track of, which was probably compounded by the jigsaw puzzle nature of the cuts.

i'm going to keep watching, in the airing order. i don't do it on purpose but over the years i've had some really interesting experiences when episodes occasionally got mixed up and watched out of order due to clerical errors on the part of the provider (misnumbered filenames etc). and of course, sometimes an intentional acronological shuffling can take works to a higher level than if presented chronologically.

the ultimate example for me is Haruhi. imo the chronological manga and light novel have much less impact and novelty than the anime's achronological presentation, which i think was a brilliant decision on the part of the Haruhi production staff.

i'll give Touka Gettan the benefit of the doubt for now and we'll see where it goes.
