I've only read the first volume of the light novel, but even so, I didn't mind the spoilery elements in here. The atmosphere, colors, animation are all exactly how I pictured it would be -- really warm and cozy. Touko sounds adorable~

I felt like Touko-chan reading Similar to the Sky while watching this episode.

It was so good!!! It was sweet and bitter!!!
An epic start...

I can't wait for the sub of the whole movie. Would love to see how good it's going to be.

Kudo to Production I.G.!!!

like the anime and the light novel, though the anime contain major spoiler :(
by the way, there is another group called monokage subbed this anime, their subs are better than taco :), but the graphic is not really good compared to taco :(
I collect both releases though :D
my vote are between 4 and 5 actually, but I chose 5 atm.
This is a signature.

This was really good! Loved the OP and ED.
Perhaps if I would have eaten my math textbooks I wouldn't suck at it so much...

I really liked the first episode. I've never heard of this before and found this anime by coincidence. I don't now why this anime is so un-popular,many major/popular voice actors are in this show like: Kana Hanazawa, Aya Hirano, Nana Mizuki, Miyu Arino, Mamoru Miyano.

You will appreciate this episode more if you watch the movie. Actually you should watch the movie, or read the light novel before watching Memoire.

Interesting episode. Hm, I wonder if seeing the movie before this was a bad idea.

1st episode of Memoir focus on Touko ....

2nd episode will be focus on ...Miu Asakura

3rd Episode will be foucus on ....Nanase Kotobuki


All 3 stories(should be happen at the same time), is prequel to the Bungaku Shoujo series

For those wanna read sequel to the OVA, there is also manga version of Bungaku Shoujo (find it at MF)

Movie of this = Volume 5 of the Bungaku Shoujo
So actually, OVA is not direct pre-quel to the Movie.

~For those think this is spoiler for Vol8
I read it already....not really full spoiler ......it just 1 small part of the 'confession'

Quite a nice episode, the story seems quite enjoyable with a tender touch to it, the OP and ED are also quite suiting to the global feel and style of it. I'll be first watching this before the movie so let's see how these 3 ova's will bring us!

Watched the movie before watching this prequel. Gotta say, I was a bit surprised at the fact that Tohko helped in the process of picking the winning novel (Konoha's) in the contest.

This first OVA I liked it and shows a side of the life of love that makes the whole project more interesting, featuring the character and an idea of what happens in the beginning of the movie.

Ends right where the movie began. She doesn't have taste buds for food, don't know if she still eats to survive though.

I guess that was a great start, the first encounter of the reader and the writer.
