| Yay, Studio 3Hz loves d'n'b. Great OP. Animation and art quality is superb. It looks really really great, like totally hand drawn. I'm impressed, especially in this times (where we can see more and more 3d trash). Nope, but they used CG in smart way which is rather unusual. This is a perfect example how anime should looks like (ok maybe except character design, which isn't that bad btw). Of course this is huge advantage and I will watch because of it, even if story won't be very interesting. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Wow the character animation is wonderful and charming, had a big smile on my face the entire time, well up until that last scene |
TheBigGuy said: I wonder, what this show is trying to accomplish. If it wants to be one of these wacky and funny shows, it pretty much fails. It's too wishy-washy in my opinion. It feels like a more visual and basic Alice in wonderland so far. |
 |
| *see Bu's brain* *closes his "head"* I'm laughing. Also there's some pretty dark shit going on. This gave me a lot of Alice in Wonderland feels, mostly the ending and the preview of the next episode |
 |
| Here it is, the sasuga anime of the season ! Really enjoyed this first episode, i have a bunch of questions but im pretty sure they'll be answered soon. (well, i hope so anyway) Also, best OP and ED so far this season. |
 |
| Expected to be good only to be disappointed but I'll watch it again cause I was burned out from binging on Gekiranger. For now 2.5/5 |
| Well that was fun. |
| Weird & Cute. I like it. |
 |
| The main reason I wanted to watch this was because of the animation. It's a bit too early to start judging the story but the animation and backgrounds are amazing! Definitely looking forward to more. |
| Seems like this could be pretty dark. Considering the ending and the fact that when Kokona and Papika were in the black and white area, Papika hugged her saying, "You're alive!" whitch could be implying that they've already gotten people killed trying to get to Pure Ilusion Pretty interesting concept, I love the art, color and animation |

| Entertaining, yet very weird. But it's pretty damn unique. I'm curious as to what this show will bring. Fun start so far. |
  |
| I don't know what I just watched or understand anything about it but it was entertaining and fun so I don't care. Also that ED was superb. |
 |
| WELL, this sure was something. It has some kind of weird charm to it, maybe it's the art? Anyway I look forward to see what will happen in this anime... |
| I don't know what kind of acid the makers of this show were on, but I want some. Seems like this could be a cute "power of friendship" series. Gorgeous to look at, at least. |
| Papika and Cocona are too cute and fun, the animation was great, I like this! |
| I wonder why the snow was sweet...? |
 |
| That was...whoa. I don't know what to expect from this, but all the sakuga potential is like crack to me. Overall direction was very unique and immersive as well. Was not expecting this, to say the least. |
 |
| Off the wall insanity makes a fun story that may shape up to be adventure of the week or some underlying plot, we'll have to see where it goes from here. The animation makes me think more of Gainax or Trigger something like FLCL. Really liked the ED theme it's very catchy! Like a little more development of our characters in episodes to come. Looking to be another solid show for the season. |

| Feels like alice in wonderland and down to rabbit hole. expecting some grim dark or dramatic ending. |
 |
| The art is pretty weird but yet unique THAT ANIMATION THOUGH !!!!!!!!!! Definitely gonna give this a shot |
 |
| Umm what was that? Great energy, though. 4/5 |
| I need sleep. |
I found that too and I had to check this out and of course both are composed by Masumi Itou. |
| haven't seem something THIS weird since i started JoJo's Bizzare Adventure |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| What the hell did I just see? I watched the first episode solely on the basis that the show's name was ludicrous. And now I'm hooked. I can't possibly predict how I'll rate it at the end of the cour but I really hope it turns out to fulfill its promise. Plus, the ED song and animation are top-notch. |
| Eh, the only things I liked were the OP and ED. The animation is cool but.....naw, it's not really enough to hook me. The yuri is a turn-off for sure.... |
  |
| heh, that was interesting that part in Cocona's dream, and the scene at the end, also the ED.....wonder if it turns out to be like Madoka, but probably this will be bizarrely cute |
| Well that was better than expected! The amount of effort they put into this episode is head and shoulders over anything else I've seen this season as of yet. Hopefully they can keep this up! Beautiful artwork, loving the OST, and loving Papika even more :3 On another note, why is everyone so obsessed with comparing anime? Can't we just let it be it's own thing? Stop being so critical, sit back and enjoy the ride! I swear half the people on this website actually hate anime (and probably everything else, too). |
| Wow, now that's what i call a wild ride. And at first i thought the ED was sung by Masumi Ito, i was wrong apparently. |
| Fast and very well done, the episode flows constantly well. A perfect start for a potentially good series. Enjoyment:5/5 The glasses rescue and a few other brief moments remind me of Birth. I wonder if it will have the same recipe: a microscopic storyline used as an excuse to deliver a series of great animation demonstrations. (as a TV series, it would probably be too hard money/work-wise; and even if it was possible it would be terribly boring four hours long) Estimated score: 4-8/10 @Paulo27 @Dimentioluc We don't even fully know what this is... |
| That was amazing! This was one of the anime i was looking forward to the most from this season, and it more than met my expectations, Definitely the best first episode besides Hibike so far! And the ed is so cute! |
| reminds me of Jinrui. I like Cocona's VA at least her scream during that scene. |

| Okay, so that was 24 minutes of pretty visuals. Can I get some plot up in this anime please? |
| This looked pretty vague story wise. But the visuals were good. Only second to Keijo. Papika is some mysterious girl who needs a partner for whatever and she decides to make Cocona her partner. And they enter this Pure Illusion world where everything is like an illusion or whatever. It's probably a different dimension or something which can be accessed under certain circumstances. And Papika has to find something there which looks good and smells like a middle school girl lol. Nothing really made sense in this episode. They haven't revealed much here except for Papika having to find something. They don't tell what it really is except for saying that it grants wishes. How do they find it? Where do they find it? What is it? These questions will probably be answered as things progress. Cocona had that thing they were searching for. And it probably came on its own or was granted to Cocona or whatever probably because she was in great need of it and that thing helped her save Papika from drowning with those whatevers. I'll see some more of this but I think this'll be one of those shows which really start to make sense quite late into the series. So maybe I'll have to stick around till the end. I hope I won't regret it. At least I'll get some good visuals. |
| I feel some sort of Alice in Wonderland vibe, the way the characters travel between real world and Pure Illusion. I'll probably give it a try on the upcoming episodes. |

| "This (anime) industry is weird" - Chitose Karasuma, Gi(a)rlish Number I hope someday someone in an anime would say, "The (anime) viewers are weird." |
| Definitely a standout of the current season, Looking forward to more. Looks like the story will be built up more in the next episode. |
 |
| so so silly i loved it more than i thought i would tbh. |
 |
| that cocona awakening her powers gave me a 5 seconds goosebumps .. well im expecting some unique fight scenes here .. |

First episode had many aspects I really enjoy (presenting the characters through a little adventure and not infodumps, amazing colorful visuals and that feeling about discovering a new world) and I like the staff involved, specially Ayana Yuniko. At least the first episode was the best first episode this season already and I'm excited to see more. |

| Completely loved it, great animation and all in all it gave me a little of that 'Gibli feeling'. Op and especially the Ed(music vise) was great, very rare that i bother watching the OP/ED, but here i loved watching them, ED on repeat several times after watching the episode because i loved the song. |
| @Dimentioluc I see, sorry. I'm slow and it makes more sense to me now. |
