| This is a dream like anime for me like Yofukashi no Uta an midnight Civil servants.. night time scenes are so much better than daytime.. Shows you that policemen and cab drivers are so lucky to enjoy the night and wonder around.. That's the best job specially in sceneries like this.. But where are the people who wanna go walking around all night in real life? |
 |
| this was so damn good man. loved it. everything about this episode was just so good. 5/5 easy. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| a first episode felt more like a movie a brilliant start fr a strong 9/10 for me |
| First episode cute |

| LIDENFILMS can be this good? i guess my prejudice only based from watching Tokyo Revengers. Wow Isaki has a cute voice, new VA as well. I can tell why they choose her now. love the vibes already. |
 |
| It's a pretty relaxing anime. I love this already. The animation of the sceneries looks so beautiful. Yeah, especially at night. |
 |
| I love this so much already, I can definitely see myself giving in and start reading the manga at some point this season. I don't have insomnia, but I can still understand, empathize and relate with them to some degree. A school having an observatory is so damn cool. If you ask me, it's a huge waste to just turn it into a warehouse. But hey, if it wasn't a warehouse, our two insomniacs wouldn't have any hideout. Lidensfilms are now 2 for 2 for insomnia anime lmao. They did Call of the Night great and looks like they will do Insomniacs After School great too. I can't wait for more of these two. |
 |
| The first ep looks interesting, the art and soundtrack are also really good. |
 |
| This may be my favorite premier of the season, at least for the romance genre. I also got "Call of the Night" vibes but in a different way (such as no vampires, at least not so far). I like the relationship dynamic from both MCs as they both have insomnia and that seemed to have open up Magari fairly quickly to Nakami. It was nice to see both of them sleep together in a trusting way, especially later on for Magari who briefly fell asleep on Nakami's back when they were hiding from the police guy. I'm a little concerned when it was mentioned that Magari was hospitalized when she was younger as that could imply it may happen again. Regardless, I'm looking forward to watching how this series plays out. |
| i like the chill vibes of this one...and aside from the platonic romance (since its just the 1st ep) it also discusses some IRL issues of someone dealing with Insomnia. 5/5. |
 |
| This was pretty relaxing to watch. I just hope the girl didn't raise death flag with her "I used to be fragile as a kid" story... Please show, don't go path. |
| sweet episode they're both so charming, LIDENFILMS really is incredible when it comes to aesthetic visuals |

| Oh wow, thanks for the info! |
| Fittingly enough im watching this at 6 am after a night without sleep. i got a test and an essay writing in a few hours. watching this was bittersweet it was like seeing all of the wishes my slightly younger self had come to life |

| Cute romance. I love the slow kind of relationship + more focus on activities like in a friendship. Does not feel too forced. (Must be because it is neither shoujo nor shounen - but seinen.) Bit weird though with the insomina setting and to have to people where it is that extreme ... in the same class. Lol. |
| Wholesome and relaxing. I think this and Skip to Loafer are the two most anticipated anime about high school life to air this season. The atmosphere is very calm so I think it's perfect for watching before bed. |
 |
| Really amazing first episode! The atmosphere of it is so good, it has a similar vibes with Yofukashi no uta but just slice of life. |
 |
| It's one of my favourite mangas of all time and I was not expecting much of the anime. I'm pleasantly surprised, I think they actually managed to capture the feeling of the manga pretty well. The animation is quite simple but I found that everything which is needed is there and I liked the fact that camera movements are made and animated by hand instead of being in 3D. I like how the episode is directed and edited. Voice acting fits the characters very well and even though I'm not that fond of the credit musics, I found the music during the show to be generally quite atmospheric and fitting. Overall, an unexpected good surprise, looking forward for the rest of the season. |
