Since nobody's reviewed this I'll just say a few things I liked about episode 1. IT'S STUPENDOUS!

the STORY isn't well formed yet but we know there's 2 worlds: a Normal Japan, and a strange high-tech futuristic one. in the High Tech Japan a guy is executed and (I'm guessing here) members of a cell discover something. cut to a funeral procession in Normal Japan and a boy is left all alone because his father just died. a man offers to let the boy live with him. some mourners leaving the funeral home tell the audience that his entire family is now dead. cut to ... his school and there's a cute girl, his cousin, who's trying to be friendly with him. his classmates don't understand him at all. later on a guy saves the boy from an attack. the episode ends there.

ART, yes there is a GREAT DEAL of CGI in this episode! but there also is some normal cel animation. everything looks great and blends perfectly!

SOUND, pretty good! I'm not all up on J-pop/Electronica but the music's pretty cool. the other effects and actors are good too.

CHARACTER, not much just yet. but what's there is INTERESTING!

I could only rate 1 part of the episode lower than perfect and that's the characters. the story grabbed my attention, but a single 16 minute episode is not enough to tell a greatly detailed story. I really REALLY like this and I hope it comes out with more episodes soon!

although the base idea is awesome but it's not really suitable for a 2h movie, a series has to be produced which could have the time for
1) Characterizations
2) digging into the fantasy world
3) making the imaginary world's rules clear (I didn't quite understand the 'fixer')
4) setting more and better plot twists (there was no interesting plot twist)

the movie didn't have time so just everyone had to trust each other immediately and to dive into the action and fight without preparing... it didn't have time to dig down into the mysteries of the two world (including the transfer technology) and there was no time to explain ... the present technology in the other Japan.

the war at the end could be a real fascinating strategic story which the viewer feels like a martial commander (like the one at the end of attack on titan season 3) but there was no time (it'll probably gonna take at least 3 episodes if a series is made)

>> I'm sure there can be a GREAT series out of the idea, I wish they make one someday

P.S : 'shin' was cute :)

Basically, it's a 3D Less-Anime-More-BS with an empty story, moe characters, made in photos and good music. Would you watch it?

No spoiler no life, it would be too vague so:
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER:

Story: Lots of nonsense, some witch who predicts the future and kills people. Everything starts from the title "Reversed World" aka "Paralel World", but it turns out it's the same world?
Now we can easily understand the cliche and common this concept of this story, following a MC more dull and careless than my sliced cheese. Problems are showing themselves from the first frame, in which someone from ... the original world gets killed for knowing[nothing], everyone cherring a man's death. Hooray, economy..
So, until the end of the series, we are understanding that there are two worlds who coexist in the same time and space, who can so easily interact with each other without penalty, but still everyone know of it and are still all confused. Why's that? If you don't know how to have content and fluidity in it, YOUR STORY IS OVER. How can you just never clear things up and keep adding mysteries one over another? Bet the writer doesn't have a clue either.


Sound:
Music is good, as for the footsteps or any other effects choose to use something too common and small for something of a way bigger scale or different sound.

Art:
Yeah, 3D as it is but the character's movements weren't fluid at all, they moved too slow and you could tell the missing frames.
Backgrounds looked very well and deserve some credit, characters looked good too with the positions being a little more realistic than expected.

Characters:
They we're cute. Yet couldn't take the opportunities and be a little clever or deductive. Also, the MC in the OP looked like Arararagi. This anime doesn't have originality at all, just balls. Eh, the least I can say is that the characters are, somehow, honest.

Enjoyment:
Music was really good, art didn't look bad at all and characters we're honest, with a somewhat interesting and empty story, but I can't ask much for a total of 25 minutes in a show, can I?
But still enjoyed it a lot. Just because it had that charm of hard-working people, but I only had expectations, because it could have been so much better.
