| Why are protagonists who have default evil/glare faces an archetype these days in anime O.o? Loved the OP/ED; didn't realize that was Jun Fukuyama as the ghost |
| Daaaaaaaamn, so good! Rokka looks more cute here than in the manga... I really like it. Oh, and Hazuki and Shimao's seiyuus are perfect too. c: |
| Really good first episode. Waiting for more. |
| Looks quite lovely so far. Loving the animation style, and Rokka seems like a loveable character. |
| So good..:D even though i don't love shimao-san's design:p |
| "If you don't love anyone, it'll make your life easier. But, I don't want to believe it's useless to love anyone" - Hikari Sakishima |
| I have high hopes for this series, hopefully it will focus on the drama and romance and not the comedy. |

| All I can say is WOW. This will definitely shape up to be one of my favourites this season. The OP is the best OP I've heard for a long time, and the ED is great too. What good song choices! I love Atsushi and his way of talking. The interaction between Atsushi and Hazuki is also very enjoyable to watch. Had me cracking up! Rokka is beautifully drawn. I get the feeling that maybe she cut her hair so short to mourn her husband, since she had longer hair in the OP. |
| Such a great romance! I loved the op, ending, and the art is beautiful. I enjoy the ghost. Atsushi is so cute. To see my full review of this episode go here: http://animeordie.blogspot.com/2012/07/first-impressions-natsuyuki-rendezvous.html |

| Amazing, I really like the idea with a ghost. |

| Wow. My expectations for new shows this season are just all completely wrong it seems. I was completely expecting Natsuyuki Rendezvous to be a cliched rom-drama with a ghost element. I was not expecting well defined and interesting characters with a lot of nuance to them. Nor was I expecting such a rapid development of the plot. Sure it'll probably pull back in the next episode and nothing will come of that confession, but I can't help but be pretty hopeful of being proven wrong now. |
 |
| OMG WOW. this anime came out of nowhere for me, I'd never heard of it, or seen any previews, but damn, if it continues at the mature no nonsense pace its been keeping it could easily fall into my favorites as a romantic scfi like Ano Natsu de Matteru did. an adult romantic meoldy out of nowhere wow wowie!!! @///@ |
 |
| I just liked this anime and I have high hopes and I hope not not to disappoint for the series. |
| A really nice follow up to 'Kids on the Slope'. Always nice to get adult main characters. Really looking forward to the rest of the episodes. The show was both visually and emotionally charming. Characters were believable and likable, and their interactions were humorous and engaging when they needed to be. 5/5 - The best I've seen from this Summer season so far. Always nice to get a good Josei show. |
 |
| Wow...Very good first episode I have to say. I am looking forward to the next episodes.. I like Hazuki and the way he flies all around the room lol XDDD... And...and...Yuuichi Nakamura!!!Omg my fav.seiyuu along with Fukuyama Jun!!!*___* |
| That was very cute :3 I really like the MC! 5/5 |
| Badges here :) |
| i think i might get into this |
| This could be a good one, looking forward to more. |
| This episode was so good. I love the pure love that Hazuki has for Rokka. Wow, I have high hopes for this. Not to mention the ending theme was so, so pretty. <3 |
 |
| "I love the roundness of her forehead" LOL. I loved the first ep! really excited about this one.. |
 |
| this one will be good! was gonna put this off so i could watch it all at once. but .. it's too good to pass up for 3 months like that. |
| I see a favorite show possible making its way into my heart.~ |
 |
| The art is beautiful. There's so much potential with this one. I think this may become one of my faves this season. |
| Wow, im really going to like this if it continues like this. Great atmosphere |
| Nice first episode really liking the concept. Nice to have an anime that revolves around adult relationships every now and again. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Loved the episode, probably the only anime i'll get into this season. We got Lelouch and Tsuchimi Gai in an anime and the lead female is Ichigo's mom! |
| . |
| This episode was much better than I had anticipated. Also, I'm love with OP & ED songs. |
| After watching this I want to...Buy flowers? |
 |
| Wow great first chapter! |
| Beautiful OP song tbh as well as the ending. First 5 minutes and already a "silent war" and a ghost huh? Very interested in this series now and good episode 1. |
 |
| Seems like an anime I would enjoy. Pretty good first episode! :D ED song was just beautiful. Sounds familiar... probably the singer. |
 |
| very very good, loved the ending, so beautiful may have to try and learn it at some point, needed some inspiration to sit down and play the piano again!!! Loved the mix of humour and romance just blended so well. Also just to get such a powerful confession in the first episode was quite shocking but a nice take. |
| easy watch... male lead looks like a delinquent and female needs to grow her hair out lots of anohana vibe let's hope this doesn't disappoint |
 |
| Very interesting start of this series, I really like the concept and well I do think this story has huge potential so let's see what happens next! |
 |
| The opening theme song is beast!!! Nice ep btw. |
 |
| Aw man, I should have watched this on Valentine's Day. This is certainly a unique one. Loving the OP and ED, both invoked strong emotional responses from me despite knowing nothing about this. |
 |
| ahaha so many unfamiliar faces here. One of the best romance animes ever :)) it gotta be Love that ghost character. Wonder why he's not mad at Hazuki for liking his wife? well...i guess it's cuz 3 yrs have past, and he doesn't want his wife to continue alone, he wanted her to be happy. oh well, anyway, the conversation between the ghost and hazuki is hilarious xDD The ED's really good too by the way is hazuki's cast Spanner/lampo/teen lambo from KHR? |
| Enjoyable first episode, looking forward for more! XD I thought it would be the wife who would see him, interesting how it's the main guy instead lol |
 |
| i'm not really familiar with this series before but this is really interesting, i need to see more ep |

| wow i actually enjoyed it. Rokka could have been prettier with long hair tho |

| "You could have an affair with me." Doesn't sound very romantic. Or maybe there's something wrong with the subtitles. Anyway, the opening was quite boring but I'll forgive that since I'm pretty sure there won't be any kind of tense mood etc. Just being in love and trying to win someone's love, even when that someone is still mourning over her dead husband. But the show seems interesting, so I'll keep watching. |

| 臭い- |
| Just took a few seconds and this show clicked with me, the rest of the episode further cemented my initial reaction. There's the melancholic atmosphere while still being ligh hearted. This is a combination I have a thing for. The cast is nice, I can kinda relate to the Hazuki and I enjoy the dynamic between him and Atsushi. Great start overall and I love the OP/ED. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I enjoyed the episode, and then was pleasantly surprised to realize that Aimer sings the ED. I've listened to that song often and never knew it originally was from an anime. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| I actually found the first episode to be a little rushed. Then again, it’s only 11 episodes. The premise is beautiful - I’m expecting it to emotional, let’s see...... Also the ED was lovely! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Not gonna lie, I was kinda annoyed with Hazuki not having balls but thankfully, it seems he found them in the end with that abrupt confession of feelings. Okay start overall. Also yes, I'm watching this merely because Aimer sings the ED. Not to mention it's one of my favorite songs from her. |
| So far I love it, The OP and ED are really good, but I especially like the ED. It fits well <3 |
| Their wedding anniversary is the same as the wife's birthday.. and it was the husband's idea.. maybe because the husband knew that he would "go" first, so he wanted his wife to continue to remember all memories with him in a happy atmosphere (because it is celebrated together with her birthday) ...that's sweet, but in this case, of course it's sad. And I really liked that bold move. He really said he loves her, in the first episode, and right after they talked about her late husband. This is so good, more than what I expected. |
