Why is this marked as a Movie and not an OVA?

A fun watch, I digged the art, animation and the comedy. Mite B cool as a complete TV anime.
Really liked the main girl's voice, until I found out that she was voiced by KugiRie. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Cause it isn't either of those, it's an ONA.

That was interesting... I didn't understand anything of what I just saw but the art and style was great. It was nice to hear Kugimiya Rie not do a shitty tsundere voice too.

Basically sums up the entire episode.

No idea what I watched basically, Started off feeling a bit like Cencoroll, then it turned into Summer Wars, then it ended up as Paprika. This would probably do better as a whole series, rather than an entire story compressed into half an hour.

I've heard her as a generic Tsundere for so long, I can hardly believe that that's her voice.

This short almost caused a fight in my house. One of my housemates loves Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and he was not pleased to learn that this was supposedly based on the latter.

We all agree that it's visually great... Just...

It's a one shot like manga just an anime version. You can see what whole story is about if you really pay attention. Hopefully it gets enough hype to be made into a full season but I have doubts of that happening =\

This is exactly what Hoshi no Samidare (A.K.A. The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer) would look like if it was adapted into an anime. Anyone with me? =F

It was entertaining, 5/10 should be fair rating.

For those who are confused, this is Toei Animation's imagining of Lewis Carroll's 1871 work Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (Wikipedia, original text), which is said to be a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865. Yes, it's very fast-paced and choppy, but the parallel themes are there.

The English poem at the beginning of the episode is popularly known as "A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky" through its first line, though it actually has no title. The first letter of each line in the poem spells out the name of Alice Pleasance Liddell, the namesake of Lewis Carroll's protagonist.

In short: an experimental project to test out their new (directing and writing) style, whether it will work out or not. If you were enjoying it then it works, otherwise then yeah, they still have a long way to go.

Really, story is not the point. I still remember reading a certain fanfic work which is very very abstract at the point that you won't understand a single damn thing at all. But strangely, it still made me (and lot others) laugh out loud. Pretty mysterious indeed.

It would be better if this had been an OVA/TV anime/movie instead of just 25 minutes ONA~

It was an enjoyable ride... I wonder if they have a series or more OVAs planned after this, cause there's just so much left in the open and leaving you asking what the hell just happened. If this was only planned to be a one-time thing, the writers should of done a better job making a stand alone coherent plot along side the great action scenes.

Still better than 95% of the anime out there though. 8/10

this was so crazily insanely random, and i didnt understand nothing except the fact that the monk raised 3 kids and Koto is a host for the other Koto (reincarnation?). Perhaps we´ll have a pedo monk with Koto.

Anyway...

Amazing Ride. Definitely unique and i dont know why but it gave me a Alice in wonderland x Summer wars feeling. Great animation.

Want moarrrrr~~~~

Note, what you all watched were pre-airings.

The actual airing starts on December 10th 12:00PM Tokyo Time (18:00 on youtube/nicovideo), and something may (or may not) change.

I'm sure it's still going to be only 1 episode though.

definitely a wtf show. i even thought it was a full season series or at least there's more than 1 episode.

but got the hang of it after watching it twice.
this sort of anime is really nice to watch again and again =w=

glad that Koto is voiced by Rie Kugimiya. it was perfect.

great animation. a lot of it can go into anime scene compilation.

Horizon is only hard to understand if you're a blithering idiot.
Do you know what that means?
The legal age of consent in Japan is 13, so shota is totally legal in Japan. In some western countries shota might be considered child porn.
