Episode 1 streamed online today from AbemaTV. 

I must say, this first episode feels like it tied some metaphors with that freezing ice, especially for Himuro. His first encounter with Fuyutsuki is a bit strange but I think can I get used to it. Looks like we got a fair amount of characters introduced to that company in this first episode. There's also some animal charcteristics thrown into the show with characters like Komori.

Cute start imo. Quite lighthearted in terms of storytelling.

Takao Sakuma's OP is slick and cool, I like it!


This reminds me a lot of WotaKoi with an adult workplace cast. The main leads of the workforce newbies of cool female colleague yuki-onna Fuyutsuki (with her cat Nyamero) and the snow woman descendant ice guy Himuro, plus other colleagues of fox girl descendant Komori and the typical guy Saejima, they're for sure an unusual bunch, with their boss being a descendant of the Great Buddha.

More so for Himuro expressing his emotions through ice and snow, even to the point of creating a snowstorm around him when he's engrossed. Everyone but the yuki-onna Fuyutsuki knows as he develops an interest in her. Himuro likes flowers and cats, but because of his icy temperament, he cannot get anywhere near either. So Fuyutsuki got him both straw bedding and cat's whiskers just to let him have a feel.

Nowlu is back for another ED, and it is good. A very slow, but subtle and simple rom-com just like WotaKoi, and it works fine.
Gonna be a feel-good fantasy rom-com.

The main story seems comedy around Himuro-kun but ineffective due to moving slowly. Moreover, the fantasy world view was unclear at Ep.1.

The two main characters look umbalanced: whereas Himuro-kun has unique skills and emotional faces, Fuyutsuki-san is just monotone person with kindness.

Komori-san was cheerful and cute👍

Oooohh, this feels like watching a korean romance drama :3 I knew this would make me diabetic again, this is so adorable and sweet (ノˊᗜˋ*)♡ I also noticed that Fuyutsuki uses different earrings every day :D that's a nice detail.

Thank you for this, at least I know I'll be happy every wednesday for the next 3 months lol. 

Liked the OP and ED as well <3

The pase so far is slow but not to slow which gives it a nice feeling.
The characters seems nice tho the mains need some work and i hope they get a lot of character development since that's something we didn't see this episode.
There was a lot of focus on the relationship but not much on the personality of the characters.

Hey, this wasn't bad at all.

The main girl is as empty as she's supposed to be, so all the OL yosei ladies can have it easy and nice to self insert. The main dude is as cute and unrealistically portrayed as the OL yosei ladies want him to be, and of course the classic "wild" secondary to be pair to break the mundanity of all the situations.

This very much reminds me Wotakoi, that one also had this from the female point of view caricature style of characters and world settings, + this one is also fantasy to spice things.

But still, for now good. Also, how long are the manga chapters ? By how the episode was structured it feels like it's just a bunch of 1/2 page chapters put all together.

I'm quite ahead with the manga (Though eng translations are quite slow imo) so I can read the whole situation going on without subs lol but I find their interaction not too annoying or anything, even if most might find Ice Guy to be one but I considered it as some kind of humor going along with him & female colleague because of the whole mythical of Ice as some kind of metaphorical part of the whole series. I'm not fond with the character design nor deep about it but wished that they put more polish to it however, the closeups sort of compensates it and the background looks typical but clean.

I was really looking forward to this show and this was kind of a disappointing premiere. I wasn't expecting this to be a supernatural show but that's fine. What I can't stand is the mc blushing every few minutes. Also it's just the first episode and things already felt a bit repetative. The fmc does a cool thing or helps mc and him constantly blushing after that. I do like the fmc though. Anyway I hope this show gets better.

I'm surprised it ended up being this repetitive in jokes and dialogue, that's not gonna sit well with me if they continue like that.

The OP sounds great on a decent sound system turned UP.
A pleasant, very cute way to warm up on a Winter morning. I like that it's so chill and steamy hot at the same time - fun balance.

Again, love the music.

Oh man, add this to the list of fantastic office romances! The first episode rocked. The music was great, really set the mood well. The main guy is too wholesome for this world. I wasn't expecting to see a fox girl show up right off the bat. Will need to investigate to see if the manga for this is getting an English print yet, cus if not, someone needs to get on that.

Ishikawa Yui is a certified master when it comes to voicing empty souls, right? Like just for once do something different lol.

Decent enough start, I expected it to be this way. Though the descendants part came a bit surprising, I mean who would've thought they'll take "nervously frozen" joke this seriously.

Quite pleasant production valllues for a show of this sort, the story somewhat jumps around the «normal» days on this compnay where fantastic elemnets are added and the world surrounding this show keeps itself very much closed down making the overall atmosphere feel slightly clautrophobic. The character interaction feel obnoxiously staged and unnatural, although it's simply the first episode I can't see this particular anime rising above a very average SOL Rom-Com. Either way I'll be here all season to accompany it. Very excited to see all that Winter 2023 has to give us !

Took a break from watching "Legend of the Galatic Heroes", got whiplash from seeing modern animation for a second there.

Anyway, I did read the manga first; I didn't even realize how similar Himuro is to Elsa (from Disney's Frozen). At least power-wise.

Also he makes cute wittle snowmen ☃️ ⛄️ ☃️.

Anyway, chill/10.

I have seen anime way worst in overall quality but at least with a story that can keep you invested in more than one episode. I wanted to drop this when the monologue wasn't even 30 seconds in but I kept going hoping that I would find something promising. That's 20 minutes of my time I am not going to get back.

Great episode. I didn't expect the kuudere to already be interested in the male lead. 

I love the guy's kansai accent he's got going. (At least I think its a kansai accent. Could be wrong) 

This is gonna be a super wholesome series that I'll 100% re-watch once its done. Always happy to get more wholesome romances. I do hope it has some sort of coherent story to it and not just short scenes like this. Like the full episode being them doing something and scenes connecting together rather than being separated.

This first episode left me a bit cold (sorry). Characters and writing seemed uninspired and a bit boring. Was really looking forward to a fun workplace romance, but was rather disappointed by this. Chemistry between the two MCs felt flat and the supporting cast also struck me as a bit bland. Fingers crossed that future episodes will get better.  Right now, just a meh for me. 

Edit - completely forgot about the cat. Cats are always a plus. More cat screen time and I’ll up my score a star. Lol

Pretty calm and slow opening song to start with. The most extreme reaction when being nervous on your first day thats for sure. Still that has to be the most unique of first meetings for anyone. But good fortune indeed for them to be neighbours in work. The company sure has some interesting staff though. Must be tough though at freezing those around him when he gets nervous. But the growing bonds between them are really cute. Overall a solid opening ep that while doing well to intruduce the cast also did well to showcase the strong sense of chemistry between them as well. Curious as to why he seems so worried about going to Okinawa though.

Seems really cute so far! On the one hand, I can see this becoming repetitive really easily- so hopefully there are some developments to keep things interesting. But on the other hand, I was looking for a light, simple romance to casually enjoy this season- and I think this could work. I love the 'emotionally closed-off people slowly open up to each other' trope, so I'll be really happy if they do it well! Also, Fuyutsuki-san's relationship with her cat is actually so adorable! ♡

I wasn't sure how much of this would just be a metaphor, but it looks like they're going all in on the supernatural aspects with some of the workers being descended from spirits and all. Not much else to say yet, really, but it looks like Wednesdays will at least be... chill... and cozy with this anime. Going to keep my expectations low and just enjoy the ride~




We can always go somewhere again.

The OST is really nice too & I feel adds to the scenes. And I love how expressive their eyes are. Really cute first episode, can’t wait for more!!

This has to be one of the most boring first episodes I've seen in a while. That being said tho, the characters are cute and I will keep watching in hope of a better pace and well to see more of it. I don't tend to judge a series based on the first episode only.
