Eve no Jikan (Movie)
|
A short animation done by Studio Rikka and also set in a cafe. Despite having different stories it's overall elements make it a nice short and interesting look into the early beginnings of what would then be refined into Time of Eve.
Clearly, Mizu no was a rough draft of Eve no Jikan. Apart from having the same director and the same studio, both anime also have the same atmosphere - everything is awash with the colour brown to give the show a slightly jaded/serious look. Then we have a young male MC, who is obviously a first timer at the cafe, who notices that people of different age groups sit in the cafe, discussing trivial and important things over a cup of coffee. We have a waitress who also observes these people, and a surprise revelation towards the end of both the series.
