| Really goes to show just how important sound is to us as a race. The first meeting between the two really was done well. Especially the scenes where she thanked him for helping. It was cute seeing Yuki and Itsuomi comm via boards at the bar. The walk to the station sure turned out to be the perfect chance for her. Overall a beautiful opening ep whether in animation, character interactions and emotional engagement. Curious to see where the story goes. |

| This is shoujo overkill. So corny and oversweet that I'm about to lose a limb. MORE! |
| Seems like a pretty cute romance anime. Certainly quite well drawn/animated. It's got some weird choices though, things that just get me thinking "well that was odd" - unrelated to the hearing impairment. Like him grabbing her head to turn her look away from the menu. That's just weird/rude/out of place. Usually you'd break her line of sight with your hand, tap her shoulder/arm or move the menu. Or when they first met... she tells him she's can "read lips a little bit". That sounds to me like "if you can go with a different method, then do so" and he almost certainly had a phone to write on. But he still went with it? Also, the lips weird me out somehow. It's clear some attention was put to draw/animate them well, but something is off. Too much lip, maybe? Like they're all in a constant pouty face. Except for MC. I guess they gave them more lip to help with the whole "lip reading" thing? All in all, seems like a pretty good anime. |

| This show was the one I was looking forward to the most this season, and it didn't disappoint. The character designs are quite distinct and beautiful. Interesting that the female character is deaf, I think this is only the third anime I've watched where this applies so I'm looking forward to seeing how it highlights this characteristic going forward. And finally an adult cast! Was getting tired of all the high school romance shows. Not the biggest fan of the crush at first sight trope, but hey he's a tall white-haired hottie so I can understand. The "let me in yours, Yuki" text was so smooth lol, a bit weird since they just met but Yuki's reaction to it was pretty cute. This seems like it'd be a cute and fluffy romance anime, I'll admit I'm pretty critical when it comes to these kinds of shows but this looks promising so far. My only wish for romance-centered shows is that I hope there won't be a love triangle or petty drama. Looking forward to the next episode! |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| A funny one, somehow it goes from a grounded, more realistic romance to a "I can fully palm your face and your heart skips a beat" BS lol, and right back again... And yeah, the bottom lip is most certainly there, isn't it?..... May take a few episodes to get used to that. Reminded me of that one scene in Kung Fu Hustle XD But it is sweet and I do like the premise with a deaf MC, quick mutual understanding was nice as well. |
| First episode was very cute, but Itsuomi is almost eye-rollingly perfect lol |
 |
| This episode was so sweet that it did a great job at satiating my sweet tooth for the next 100 years ❤️ |
| The switch from noise and sounds everywhere to pin drop silence to show the world from Yuki's perspective was so beautiful. |
 |
| This was so cute overall. I wonder if she's just hearing impaired or non verbal too. Would love to hear her voice if she isn't |

Things evolved pretty quickly, didnt they? That's a whole new thing in shoujou. :)  |
   |
| Yuki's visible happiness, Itsuomi's first genuine smile shown, the soundtrack, it was all way too perfect. It made me smile a shitton. Im so looking forward to this, it's so cute, genuine and also fun. This is going to be a really good ride. |
| It's nice having more anime with older main characters. We've got a good variety of them this season. Still all younger than me, lol. |

After Mid kun at lvl 99 and My mid marriage here comes another shoujo romance, hope this one will be good and live upto the hype unlike the other two and rest which I don't even remember the names. Those weren't bad but weren't even close to how good people were praising them to be. This looks better than those from the first episode atleast.
ArimaKana said: Mid kun at lvl 99 and My mid marriage Made me giggle. I think it has a different vibe to those ones, at least. I'm personally pretty picky with my shoujo since I prefer other genres to start with, and I think this one feels refreshingly new in comparison to Yamada Kun, so I'm kinda hopeful |

@jumbosan I agree he's being a little bit too familiar with her, but he seems like he might be a little socially inept, so perhaps he just doesn't understand social boundaries. As for falling in love on the first meeting, it's a bit cliche but it isn't far from reality, it happens sometimes especially for someone who's new to the feeling
| @coreynj I think it's a play on the fact that he's a foreigner. It may be a little cliché but it is true that people from other parts of the world are way touchier than people from Japan. Where I'm from, it's normal to kiss a stranger's cheek as a way to say hello lol |
| My candies!!!: |
| I love the main characters, it is great to see a kind worldly male protag that isn't afraid of reaching out to get to know someone who they have an interest in. The female lead is great as well she is the right combination of cute and smart. You can tell that she has not allowed her disability to be a hindering factor in her life. She has friends and a full active life. The artwork is fantastic, realistic and well drawn. Also funny and silly drawing at other time when it fits the scene. Overall really well done. Great anime. I would recommend it to everyone. Fun, wholesome, and just different enough to be interesting to a wide audience. |
 |
| I really liked the premiere, the story is promising with good animation and soundtrack. |
| I don't know what I was expecting him to text after saying the world is huge, but it sure as hell wasn't, "let me into yours, Yuki." That one scene single-handedly sold me on this show. |
 |
| Nice to see this lovely story being animated. The male character design could be better, though. |
 |
| Great first episode. I love how shows like these really help us understand the world and people better. AND the characters are in Uni rather than Highschool. THANK THE LORDS. Also hearing Japanese VAs voice foreigners speaking english always gives me a good chuckle |
 |
| what i felt this first episode? its like a wonderful fairy tale romance! damn! Yuki Itose is so precious the moment she jumped in happiness! that so HHHNNNNGGGGG!!!! 5/5. |
 |
| I definitely was digging this first episode. I love the art style and the landscapes are beautiful. I’m curious how the story is going to develop. |

@ArimaKana i don't think this one will be good for you and next season you will call this A Sign of Mid
| @cuhoangdk If it turns out to be average than yeah. Fyi I didn't dislike the mentioned animes, just that they weren't as good as people make em sounded to be and were decent animes. |

| @sxrpente Yeah this indeed looks promising. There was once a time with good shoujo romances but that time is long gone. The only one I found from recent shoujo romance to be exceptional was fruits basket unless I'm forgetting something. |

First episode was really cute!! I can't help but compare it to the voice of silence. However, this one appears to be much lighter and more enjoyable to watch, a story that warms the heart. |
 |
| Okay, that was solid! I’ve been seeing some hype for this show, and it’s good to note that the first episode has got me in the same train now. So much progress in just the pilot episode, this is revolutionary Shoujo, lmao. Jokes aside, this should make for a fun watch. There’s a recent JDrama titled, “Yankee kun to Hakujou Garu”, which has similar vibes and since I loved that, I’m sure it’ll be the same here. |

| I like these kind of stories so I like this anime and looking forward to it. |
| omg too much sugar for this anime !!! i might be get diabetes from this !! this heroine is too damn cute and must protect at all cost !! |
| i can’t get over the art style, it’s stunning !!! |
 |
| I was so skeptical with the art direction from the trailers, but this works well. Nice start. I have my own problems with the story from the manga, but the atmosphere of this anime alone can make it up for me. |

@cooldogmom So if something makes sense, it´s probably the wrong answer?
| @Dan_ALves that was a joke... |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| As others have said... the lips are very distracting. Hopefully I'll get used to them. I'm surprised by how fast everything moved along in this episode, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. |
| A very sweet romance about a deaf girl. I was smiling for the whole 24 minutes. 9/10 |
 |
| I also liked these juicy lips a lot |
