the music is decent.
CGI is horrible as always, but not unwatchable like others
story is pretty interesting, but im not super paying attention.

Lots of cringy moments, and not the enjoyable kind.

Kind of feels like a Sony product placement advertisement.

Really not much to awe nor to boo, but enjoyed the battle scene despite the CGI transition; I think it was well thought and takes advantage of tridimensional and moving frames. Let's give it a chance, I can´t stop my optimism with an "Original" label in it.

The first episode was meh to me. The girls were cute but the whole thing was too slow. I'll watch the half of the next episode and if it doesn't change a bit I'll drop it

The first episode was only shown to the main cast. The animation seems great in terms of the design of the characters and landscapes, although the CGI used in the action scene is questionable; however, no common error is shown in the general animation.

The personality of the girls have a bit of base in the common stereotypes, but they maintain a solid position. Also, the music used in this episode seemed great to me, as was the OP.

I'm dying to wait for the next chapter.

Never thought cute innocent looking Snow Bunnies could be portrayed as main-eating monsters...

WELP, there goes my childhood memory of cute Snow Bunnies... now I'll get nightmares whenever I see them during Christmas...

I really liked this! I love first episodes where the plot isn't completely laid out and I love being introduced to characters naturally, without a list of their traits being awkwardly jammed in dialogue. the cgi was a 7 but I loved the directing of the fighting sequence, I thought it was well-thought to cover for the flaws in the cgi. I'm very hooked

The animation was mediocre, the writing was shitty, the characters are 1 dimensional...not my cup of tea.
They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain..

How many dimensions characters should have after 1 episode?

That's a nice way to visit another world (voluntarily). And there's no catch for returning.

And decent fanservice already.

I like how they gave zero context to whats going on or properly introduce any of the characters

First episode was just a mess will see how it goes

The twintails girl is cute though

Coming here only for Katsura's designs and because it's an original project.
Getting some very bland and washed out Katsura-like girls + nothing out of the usual.

Walkman & videotapes?
An heroin playing the cheerful and imaginative girl but "traumatized" by the loss of her (little/twin?) brother.
Another self from another world.
By the power of magnetic tapes!

Colour me vaguely interested.

3/5 The action scene is threatening though.

Why are the drawing and style looking so old, is this set in an old era or old material?

I guess nowadays peoples find Katsura (I's, Video Girl...) and Asada (I'll, Tegamibachi) 's styles old. Even when it has been simplified to stay in touch with today's TV standard.

I still think the eyes were a little small, but the animation ended pretty consistent. Was a good anime.

Completely different anime than I first was expecting to be honest! Really impressive setting if you ask me and with that head tilt and other world scenery I made sure this wasn't made by Shaft but to my surprise it wasn't!

Still pretty impressive start and I really do wonder what kind of story this series will offer!

Hmm idk if i would like the show. But so far its still blurry to me. Need more time to understand the whole story. But, atleast i feel enjoy looking all girls. Asuka had some funny attitude. While the others had many personality that may lead some chaotic problems. The whole SciFi thingy might be fishy. However, since i still dont understand, i couldn't much do a commentary about it. So far the art very smooth and the animation slightly tilting. But its okay to me since this is still in the first run. Lets see in the next episode
Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.

Now that's how you start an anime.
Why is rating so low? Oh, well, i guess that's because most of the people are idiots. Always knew that.

Not a fan of the CGI, though that's not unusual. I would have liked more of an introduction to the characters, though hopefully we get to know them a little more later on. I think the sound design is pretty good, and I really liked the background scenes, they really appear to be 'lived in' and not just a barren backdrop.

not a bad first impression, with the main takeaway being that the Asuka's grandmother clearly has dementia.

I really need to know the model of Sony Walkman in this anime. If anyone knows it, please, tell me.

P.S. Just saw half of the people who commented on this thread didn't like the 1st episode, but I think they are being too cynical and critical. Wanted to mention that this anime is really good. Although I understand, that those people were watching ongoing and just wanted to say something as soon as they watched first ep., but still, the 1st ep. is probably the most boring episode of this anime, you
gotta at least watch 2-3 episodes to have an idea of what you are going to watch and what to expect. But I agree with the plot being predictive, but hey, it is such anime, this doesn't change how fun and cool this anime is. Anyway I only came here for Sony Walkman model, if you know, please, tell me.

Enjoyed this first episode, looking forward to the next ones ^~^
