| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Marvelous episode full of enjoyment of the purest. This is absolutely and I mean totally Natsume replacement. You will once again be able to think of this world and forget of the shitty one you are as IRL. Truly glad they made this. I was hoping hard and finally it came. Among the great things of this episode is Momoneko landing butt on Potte's face as follows,  now that was great and also right at the start of the episode. First ROFL right there. In the OP I find the following,  In being to watch it out constantly with enjoyment. The scenery is just amazing there and an excellent reminder about Momoneko-sama. Few other elements

| I thought this started airing tomorrow..... *still goes off to watch it* |
  |
| Such a cute and lovely series among all the ecchi and violence. The characters are very nicely portrayed imo. Fu talks pretty funny doesn't she? Chihiro bawling her eyes out every time she accidentally reminded Fu of her father was so cute. =3 I'm going to enjoy this. =) |
 |
| Chihiro is an amazing character :) I hope she will appear more (I would swap her for both whistling girl or Norie) but maybe they will also gain some more of personality :) and yes series is very good :3 |
 DAT face. |
 |
| This is so lovely. I feel fuzzy and warm inside. I-I didn’t let tears of joy flow out over so much sweetness. No, I absolutely did not. … Who am I kidding? I cried at those tender moments! Tamayura can turn anything into mellow and peaceful times. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| absolutely loved it! It had more plot like a start of a AWEsome movie. I also enjoyed Chihiro and her awesome ways of plushie. (Did she make any of them?) I hope they bring her back soon!! It made sense that Chihiro gave her that camera case. She didn't seem one to indulge in ultra cute things, though she's definitely cute in her own way :3 |
bolei_cha said: Well, I can be mistaken (might also depend on the subs) but as I understood it, she made all her characters by herself.I also enjoyed Chihiro and her awesome ways of plushie. (Did she make any of them?) However, I loved the episode! Before I started watching I read the description here on Myanimelist. It sounded kind of boring but still worth watching. Glad I chose to watch it. Well, it's been a week since I saw the first episode so I don't really have any more to say about it... |
| My god this show is good!! O.o If this is a standalone OVA, I'd give it a 9. Very very good anime. Great episode from start to finish. The Prologue, to the OP, Fuu and Chihiro's talk and about her sadness over her father's departure, How Fuu view the album her brother(or sister... not sure) found, Asking for her father's camera, The way they depict how time passes, (Shine visit humour as well) Saying good bye to her best friend, Chihiro's present and the last chat they had a the park, Taking the train, and look at the photos her father took, and finally, the welcome back message and her friend waiting there... with Fuu saying I'm home. T_T So good... P.S. Am I the only one overwhelmed by Chihiro's handcrafting skills? |

| Cool. I didnt expect that there will be another season of that anime but here it is. Its not bad I actually like it. I find it kind of relaxing. I think I will be watching it. |

| nice anime i like slow paiceing anime like kino and haibny renmi i heat that cry babe she is so anoying but she go away thanks god the art is great the still images all beautiful but the main character is Mah.... |
 |
| A cute little episode. I enjoyed. |
| Man I feel bad for Chihiro... :( Hopefully we get to see more of her! :D |
 |
| I'm actually liking this more than the OVA so far, it seems less cheesy. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| The OVA was so-so, but this first episode of the actual series was fantastic I thought. The storytelling was so much better, pretty much what I expected of Satou. |

| Wonderful first episode, the level of details in the different scenes was great. Looking forward for more! I'm gonna watch this in chronological order, so: ep1 > OVAs > ep2...ep5 > ep5.5 > ep6...ep12 I've started this for a lot of different reasons. The main reason is because it's in the 'healing' category, and I felt like I should watch something calming. I'm also probably gonna watch the Aria series either immediately or sometime after this (it's supposed to be THE 'healing' anime after all). For now I thought I would watch something shorter. Another reason was the team that made this one. It's pretty much the same team as Aria, and the director was also the creator and director of one of my favorite anime, Kaleido Star. The script writer also worked in KS, and a lot of other things like K-On!, Digimon and Kobato. And finally, the main character is voiced by Taketatsu Ayana. I mean really. She is one of my favorite seiyuu ever since I saw K-On! (Azusa is also one of my favorites) and also OreImo (Kirino has also been one of my favorites). This is pretty much a no-brainer for me after these. Don't get me wrong though, I was also interested in the plot and it's not like I'm trying to find those anime in this. |
 |
| I finished the first episode and had it on-hold for awhile so this was a good refreshment. :3 |
 |
| Oh, yes. Calm and relaxing, just what I expected :) |
| This was fantastic... I didn't expect to cry at all... |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Such a calming and beautiful first episode, really reminiscent to Aria's relaxing atmosphere. This really felt like a step up from the OVAs and I liked seeing what brought Fuu to the town. Chihiro is so ridiculously adorable and great, the "moe" is strong in that one. Really looking forward to this series, it will certainly be great to unwind to this at a slow pace. |

| 5/5 Fabulous! * _ * Despite not having seen the OVA, the episode was a pleasure almost unique! Ah ~! As I relaxed. Pleasant narration, we note without knowing that you are in the presence of ladies SofL. Very well maintained on the technical-chart! the TYO Animation has worked well, about the animations. The designs of Iizuka Haruko are cute to the nth power! * _ * Color design and costume design really nice, I liked! : D The character of Chihiro and Fuu, are very "aggressive"! LOL I can not resist, so I have to give full marks! ;) Ah! Very beautiful locations shown, the photos with the various characters and Kou looking at the glass ball! : love: |
 |
| Pretty lovely start of the series, it does have a bit slower pacing than the OVA prequel and the atmosphere is slightly different but I do love the overall feel of this first episode! Let's see what this first season will offer us! |
 |
| I'm liking the calm and relaxing atmosphere in this a lot more than the OVA, which while still good, had a little too much of a generic moe feel to it. And I hope we see more of Chihiro. |
| This show is the definition of slice of life! Good start. I wonder where it'll go. |
| This felt really disgenuine. Corny dialogue (no one thinks or talks like that) and maximum pandering. I hate when a show feel's really calculated. And girl....your daddy is probably scattered pile of ash so he ain't doing shit for you. Also....Mountain scenery kept unchanged. Holy fucking shitballs....what a revelation. |

| The chibi humor in the OVAs was a bit annoying so I'm glad they toned it down for this series. Hopefully the healing aspects of the show will continue to be emphasized over the comedy elements.

This is unfortunately what happens when people are unable to suppress their cynicism when watching an iyashikei series such as this one. Nothing wrong with that, of course — it just means that this show isn't for everyone. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| What a sweet friend Chihiro is to Potte, I'm expecting to see her in the future since I think she's the long haired girl in the OP. Overall a good 1st ep |
 |
| This episode was precious. |
| What a perfect way to start this season <3 Would have never guess she had her hair grown out and decided to cut it down again! Chihiro is adorable, I can't wait to see her again. The way they both said 'aggressive' was also super cute. It's going to be a good ride! |
| That was a sad opening episode, but yet heartwarming at the same time. Chihiro is a true boss, even though she tears a lot. Those prezies brought a sun in my heart, especially when she gave Fuu the photography kit. Reunion with Kao gave me warm vibes too, can't for more moments of this series. BTW, the haircut looks nice. |

| Well, Chihiro is worried about it even more than Fuu, it seems.. Well, she's caring friend, it seems.. Photos do have some sadness to them, I personally feel.. Maybe it's easier to portray sad in photos than something happy.. Or maybe it's just me.. First episode is more melancholic.. Well, not my first entry in series, though.. Watched 4 episodes OVA before this.. Not like melancholy bad.. Just that I don't think it's predominant feeling of the series overall.. Or who knows, how season will be.. Either way, first episode I enjoyed in its' sadness.. |
