THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hmm....not that bad I guess. I can deal with this I suppose.

Artwork is okay and better than the OVA. Most of the main characters makes their debut. Rin's hair looks hot XD . ED song is dramatic though somewhat with montages of the main characters. Guess I'll keep watching for more drama.

Character design was average. The art looked soft. The OP song was mediocre.
It felt forced when she attempted to hit him. It was not even her room.

It was a slow and unimpressive episode. Maybe the series is a slow starter.

I'm a little disappointed. I like the art from the OVA better than this. The OP was weird to start with, but nice song though. Its only the first episode, I'll try the next few.

The character design was much better than the OVA at least, though the backgrounds look dull. Acting wise, it's good I guess. Hosoya Yoshimasa is decent for Haruto and Sakura Ayane does a good job for Asuka. OnoD as Kyousuke is good as well.

Storywise, I will guess many will get confused a lot. At least, those who didn't read the manga. While this does pick off where the OVA left, there were still unanswered questions in here which will probably be answered on the next couple of episodes judging from the preview. Still, new watchers will be kind of left in the dark at the moment from how this episode went which is not good at all.

Eh, not my problem. The production studio was the one who decided to adapt this from the middle of the manga and not even put a shred of explanation in it. At least Kaminomi 3 did a 1 minute recap of all the things it skipped. What's done is done I guess.

I'll just brace myself for the incoming rage. After all, this was the arc which the story fell into pieces and never really picked up again. And it brought a ton of rage to the readers, hence the fans calling it "The Town Where You Rage".
I'll continue watching since I've already invested myself in the manga, which is dragging on for far too long now.
And the manga has made me and all the manga readers M for sticking up to everything Seo Kouji is throwing and still continuing to read it. Seeing this again is nothing.

Oh but they did. They started at the part where Haruto went to Tokyo to find Yuzuki. They picked up where the OVA left off.

I waited 2 years for this damn anime. OP was weird, good song though. ED was lazy, just used pics from the manga, song... I cant even remember it. Much better than that ova though. It pulled a TWGOK goddess saga on us. "We'll just take a big chunk of it out so you won't be able to understand it unless you read the manga"

Yes and yes.
This was already known ever since they announced Asuka's and Kyousuke's VAs alongside Haruto's and Yuzuki's. I'm all over it by now.

Okay, as someone who is completely unfamiliar with the original manga, two pointless observations:

- Great to have another series with readily available Japanese subs and lots of dialect, the linguist in me is happy with this series. Loved the scene where the girl's Tohoku dialect slipped out.
- The scene with the motorcycle helmet gave me Psycho-Pass flashbacks.

Looks like I've got catching up to do. I guess I'll check out the OVAs then.

12/13 is my bet, and it's enough, this is a flop as expected from Gonzo. They ruined completly the story starting on this arc, and those voices and art, just don't fit the characters.

This episode is chapters 80-83, but from the previews it looks like they are heading back to chapter 1 for the next episode.

I understand what's going on because it follows the manga well and I just re-read the chapters yesterday, but I hope the subs are up soon.

Well, they just had to continue from where the OVAs left off, and i really hate that, even though Kazama arc was the major turning point of the whole series, i really do hated it, arghhh, y u do dis.

I wish i was there i'd grab teh director and smack him.

The fact that in the preview poster they had made, Haruto, Yuzuki and Asuka as adults, and the fact that
i would say shows that 13 episodes are not enough to cover up to that point, it might be a 25 episode series and will cover up to a certain event unless they rush it out and make me Hate Seo even more for butchering the Manga by dragging it on for the Anime's sake and for also Rushing the anime in the end.

I'm disappointed the anime didn't start from the beginning, it shows young love at it's best. I have to agree I will rage but I won't stop watching where they started in the anime. It does get better so I hope they animate that far. It's still one of my favorite romance manga. I have to say I love the beginning, then hated some parts in the middle, and now I love how it is going. Manga is going pretty much nowhere at the moment but it's still really good to read about how all their relationships is connected. So much loveable characters.

its good to see that they skipped the shit beginning without losing much. but,
1. art is similar to manga but lacks detail and feels weird when animated, probably because of the low frame rate, making it seem more like a series of discontinuous pictures.
2. op is bad
3. viewers unfamiliar with the series will feel somewhat alienated

I think some people said the official site reads 26 episodes.

Moreover, even if they started with the Tokyo arc, I think they're going to mix up a lot of flashbacks from the Hiroshima Arc, next week preview shows only scenes from the first chapters. If it's done right, it could be amazing.

As for the episode, I liked the art much more than in the Ova, I find it closer to Seo Kouji's style. The directing wasn't that great, though. Some scenes felt forced and some dialogue unnatural.

I hadn't watched the OVA or anything before this episode and let me tell you, I was really confused. There were so many details left unexplained and you're pretty much forced to watch the OVA in order to understand the whole thing. I mean without it... what Rin said is right - Haruto just seems like a creepy stalker. Eba gets next to no screen time at all in this episode and Haruto is constantly searching for her and shit. It's like she's running away from an overly obsessed country boy.

Also, what the fuck happened to the art? I watched the first episode before the OVA so I was already a little disappointed with it, but after seeing how much better the art in the OVA was... I can't help but wonder: what the fuck was the director thinking? Surely this isn't their idea of an improvement... is it? Are they low on budget or something? Regardless, what a letdown.

Overall, after seeing everything Kimi no Iru Machi that's been released in terms of anime, I can definitely see why people are disappointed. Had I seen the OVA beforehand, I would probably have been really looking forward to this episode. I suppose everything just gets worse from here. It's a damn shame.

Is this a good adaption of the manga? Does it follow the manga closely?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

I will not rage they skip over 80+ chapters worth of development, I will not rage they skip over 80+ chapters worth of development.

I think I did it. :P I'm a little disappointed that Rin's hair is no longer pink in the OVA, but I guess I can get over it. I'm not sure if I like the artsyle they used in the TV compare to the OVA, but it seems to work so far. Well at the positive side is I got Asuka animated and I'm curious on the next episode since it seems to be going back to chapter 1. If they can do it right it will make this episode not seem so weird.
