| Even though i knew what was going to happen in the end i still went "holy crap!" Yeah this is a pretty interesting anime, i am definitely hooked Oh yeah and about the animation, its pretty good, reminds me alot of kamichu but yeah. really nice!:> |
| じーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーっ |
| Really loved this episode. I like Mirai tho, she's a pretty realistic example of a typical middle school girl in a dysfunctional family. At least I can understand her reason why she acts like that. Animation, voices, characters, everything fits for me in this animation. Looking forward to a lot more of this show! |

| This looks like it's going to be very dramatic. I'm looking forward to watching this all the way through. I got nothing against the character I think she's going to mature with all that's going to happening. |
| Nice start to the series. Mirai could use a good slap across the face, but doesn't everyone at least once in their life? When the earthquake happened, it was very well done. I've been in an earthquake before, not that powerful, but it's not the best experience to have believe me! I hope Yuuki is alright D: |
 |
| Holy shit. I had no idea abingdon boys school was doing the OP. That alone makes me love this series. Just about every series in the Noitamina anime slot is win, I expect no less. |
     |
| I swear that earthquake scene made my heart jump into my throat o_o |
     |
| I thought the first episode was pretty averge. It's an interesting concept though. The characters didn't really grab my attention, and the main character is annoying. It's well cheesy calling the her Mirai as well. It means 'future'. I guess they'll run into that delivery woman again later, and those robots that can climb over rocks are obviously going to be the rescuers. I'll check out the second episode, but I'm thinking I'll probably drop this. |
| Amazing. I am totally hooked on this anime. P: |
| Well... this episode was a bit slow... but... who cares... Was interesting... as simple as this :3 Wishes can be true!! |
| First episode was a little slow, but seemed realistic in a way |
     |
| That was amazing. Finally, some realistic characters! The art is very good, especially the backgrounds in the robot exhibition. That girl has a serious problem with mood swings, but not unrealistically so like some anime girls, so I don't mind at all. |
 |
| Man, i loved it |
 |
| This anime is very new and unique... but It's better if the savior would be a male.. I'm predicting at Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Episode 8 will be a masterpiece |

| This anime is very realistic, I like how the character development was done. It's a bit slow paced but I think it's me, I don't usually watch slice of life type of anime. Looking forward to this series, very promising. |
cyruz said: That was refreshingly different and realistic. Love it how people complain about unrealistic characters and then complain even more when they're given some. Gotta love the anime community. Anyway, this should be really interesting. Looking forward to the next episode. Funny how they named her Mirai. As if she could influence what happens, with her little blog. :D This. I am very hooked to this one since it's based on a real event and the plot and characters seems quite realistic. Sure, the little girl is a little irritating, but she seems to act like someone of her age. I like the animation so far as well, the eathquake was kinda scary. I noticed the name thing too. Clever and fitting choice indeed. |

| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Finally some realistic anime characters! This first episode got me completely hooked. The family dynamic was incredibly real and I could relate so much with Mirai... I'm so happy there are no anime stereotypes in this show. At least I didn't notice any ^^" |
| That was interesting start to the first episode, and I really enjoyed it so far. Overall, it looks pretty promising, and I am looking forward to the next episode. |
| The characters seem very realistic, even in just the first episode you can actually relate to them. Looks like this will be a good anime :) |
 |
CurseDestiny said: Not my favorite character art style, but lets see where this goes. ^this It was like spirited away art style except crappier =P but then again like spirited away this anime might prove to be a real gem =) |
| Yeah it was interesting. I like a lot Mirai's classmates they are done good in the BD version. Yuuki looks cheerful with plant planting with his friend. Mirai looks to have a major problem for her mom for working. The robot exhibition was ok. Details are impeccable in the BD version. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Very nice start, animation was pretty good but I didn't like the character design. I see we have a depressive main character living in a somewhat destructured family ( or so,I guess). I like this kind of character, she reminds me of Tomoya. And like him she doesn't like the town she lives in and she doesn't care about her future. Also this episode was really a nice walk through Tokyo. |
| Yeah, I'm rather moe for Yuuki. But anyways, I really liked this first episode. The ED reminds me a bit of Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~'s OP. |
| With all the action shows i watch, its nice to watch a show like this with high character development and story, and not flashy fight scenes. |
 |
| This was a really awesome start to a series, the animation and character development seem good so far.... ...only I wonder whether I'll be able to watch the whole thing! *scared shitless* Stupid earthquake paranoia! |
 |
| Mirai is such a bratty kid.. >.> Tsuji Shion's song as ED. <3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I really enjoyed it. Very interesting start to the series. |
| Jeez she's such a brat, but I can understand how she fells. |
| Considering that this is the first episode I don't have much to say about the plot, but, so far, there is nothing to complain about. Right from the beginning I was amazed at how detailed and well done the background and scenery was done; it is not often that a series puts that much work into. I'm sure each episode takes a long time to create. |
 |
| Great start to the series. I just didn't expect the earthquake to happen so soon. |
| only 11 eps? :o I'm glad I started watching this...the first episode was good though... and also the animation |
| Bitch, brat and blah blah. Try to understand her situation before you guys say anything. A nice setup with a gloom feeling to it. Looking forward to the next episode. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| the girl is kinda bratty I LOVE the ED song :D |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| That girl is extremely annoying. I hope she changes a bit or else it's going to really detract from the show. |
 |
| Nice episode. Mirai seems a bit too bitchy. |
| I was inspired to watch this by the recent earthquake that struck Japan. R.I.P all those who have perished, your in a better place now. |
 |
| ^definitely a fitting reason to start, and that's why I'm watching it right now too. :P Well, this seems to be quite a realistic anime. I'm kinda mixed about the art in that the backgrounds are great but the character designs are rather lacking. The earthquake scene was very well depicted, and I'm looking forward to the rest. My condolences to the Japanese, hope you guys make it through alright. |

 |
| I checked the anime's activity and it increased quite quickly after the quake hit, ha. I'ma go for a re-watch, well worth it. |

| Sad feeling watching this right after recent events.. |
| Me too. The recent quake made me watch this...to see how it compares to the real one. Although the plot is predictable, it didn't stop me from crying when the sad stuff happened. |

CottonCandyLover said: He picks up on things very fast, too.little brother is more mature than older sister o lol. |
| It felt very realistic, for some indescribable reason. I'm looking forward to the next episode - the show sucked me in. |
| Ahh I am getting the same feeling I got when I first started AnoHana. I know this is going to be good! I JUST KNOW IT. |
 |
| Mirai is a bit whiner than I would like. But when the Earthquake came I was somehow tearing up. D: I seriously disliked that woman with the little boy and ice cream. =.= And the opening music is great. <3 |
