I thought the first ep was fantastic. I'd give it a solid 10/10 hope the rest of the series keeps it up!

The movie they saw reminds me of Ghibli's movie Castle in the Sky.

You mean the anime screening they were watching with other people?
It's actually a 70s show by Hayao Miyazaki before Ghibli: "Future Boy Conan", or "Mirai Shounen Conan".


Ohh? Really? I haven't heard that movie of Miyazaki. I will check it out, thanks!

Loved every minute of it.

As an industrial designer by degree and profession, it's fantastic to see the kind of concept sketching I do every day in an anime.

Was it just me, or was there a bit of a Gurren Lagann ep.1 feel here? Trying to break free of their confines, and the iconic "big world reveal" at the end of the episode, etc.

This could be a new favorite.

I was really excited for this show and this first episode really pleased me. I was shocked a bit by the art and animation at first (I didn't watch any promos so I didn't know what to expect) but it quickly drew me in as a fun and quirky show. I'm excited for the upcoming episodes. Also the end of this episode was hilarious. Even I forgot about the laundry because their adventure drew me in.

Damn the production value of this anime is amazing!!!

I like how they went straight into the plot, it felt really immersive from the get go...almost like I was watching a movie.

This anime seems super unique,
It reminds me a lot of Uchouten Kazoku in the way that the plot seems really random initially but ends up being super interesting. I’m getting similar vibes with this! The way their scenario got brought to life for example was really cool to see.

Also, the Characters all have interesting personalities, the Seiyuus really did a great job bringing the characters to life. Didn’t expect to like this that much, but I’m looking forward to keeping up with this one!

Great show so far, its music is euphonious and its visuals are charming and pretty
The protagonists are interesting and fun - I especially like Asakusa's creativity
The Dragonfly Ship drawing scene was very unique and I like how human noises were used there
Watching this and Somali to Mori no Kamisama reminds me of my childhood... anyway, I look forward to the next episodes

This came out of nowhere and hit me really good. What a wonderful 1st episode. The art style is adorable and the characters are so very likeable also thanks to the terrific voice acting & design. The concept art sequence created such a lust for adventure and fantasy in me. I believe it was Made in Abyss that was last able to make me feel this intrigued. This show is already this season's eyecatcher.

I honestly dont understand how anyone could be confused about the genders of the main characters. Was nice to see different character personalities, not the same exact cut and paste character traits most anime characters suffer from.

Even if this anime doesnt end being one of Yuusa’s best(I think it might) I'm just grateful that it got me to finally watch Future Boy Conan. Which had been on my ptw for years. I always thought it would be a lesser early work with poor animation, but my ignorant impression was so wrong. Will probably take a spot in my top ten judging by how much im enjoying it so far. The animation of Lana stands out a lot, its very well done for late 70s anime.

Chara overall drawing is a simplified, nearing the old school cartoon design with dream out of reality fantasizing story. Seen this sort of western cartoon in the 90s so not big fan of the style now.

Doesn't feel like to continue but maybe couple more episodes to see how the story goes.

This sure is very innovative. My favorite is Tsubame among the cast, but they all are interesting.
And I recognized ED singer's voice right away.

Yeah they are. They're all wearing female uniforms and you can read in their character bios that they're all female.
Not every girl in anime has to have a curvy, model-like figure and mousy voice.

Itou Sairi has such a unique, husky voice that is perfect for Asakusa. The art is great, it reminds me of different anime mashed into one, a bit of Ghibli, Nichijou, Devliman Crybaby, Crayon Shin-chan, etc. kudos to Director Yuasa.

The animation is wonderful and the story is heartwarming and wacky at the same time. Kanamori is probably best girl at this point. Love her realistic and sarcastic manner of speaking plus Jinta's voice actress, Mutsumi Tamura does a great job providing life to this character. She's good at making a masculine voice but also mature, feminine voice as well.

This show is shaping to being one of the better shows of this season. The OP is very nice, very catchy with flashy animation.

I like the art style and artwork and the animation seems to be quite fluid in motion, especially during the dragonfly-hovercraft scene.

And the characters seem very fun and energetic with good chemistry among them.

A solid start to the show.

It was just so... charming. That's the only word I can think of to describe it.

Op definitely wasn’t something I’d enjoy, it might be the first op in a lone while where I actually skip it.

Anime looks ok so far, not as interesting as I thought but I’ll see how it ends up.

damn did this first episode just motivate me to draw more?
the OP is really catchy too, I like it.
These characters are really something to. We have a contradicting pair of friends: one's enthusiastic and passionate for anime, while the other just doesn't give a heck about anime but is willing to help the other out.
This anime is truly bold, fearless, and creative.

Wacky art style with an eccentric cast in a weird city making unique anime, I think I'm gonna like this. I like how they showed an actual anime scene (Future boy Conan) and Midori gave an elaborate description on it.
