Honestly kind of caught me off guard. I liked the way Shimamura and Adachi talked to each other, it's like their chemistry is perfect for one another. Really liked the Visualization.

This is oddly charming. Wasn't sure what to expect at all. I like the artistic direction and I enjoy the pace we're at. I'm actually okay with their personalities too and kinda wanna learn more about them.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

A Yuri show, alright. It's been sometime since we had Yagate Kimi ni Naru a.k.a Bloom Into You, and I would not have expected this series to be from the same novelist that created Shaft's Denpa Onna all those years ago.

Akari Kito and Miku Itou as respective VAs for Adachi and Shimamura, and a knock-out job for a light-hearted premiere episode. Tezuka Productions's quality can't quite match TROYCA's, but whatever it is I'll take it.

On the case of the manga adaptation though, Mani's illustration is quite close to the content adapted, while taking some liberties from the Moke Yuzuhara illustrated one as well.

But whatever the case, the strange relationship of Adachi and Shimamura is like friends in want, but can't quite discern their needs for a start, which is totally fine by me, since it's just the introductory stage. A pleasant surprise though.

Adaptation notes:
Mani: Chapter 1-3 / Moke: Chapter 6

Decent start. There isnt a clear top and bottom yet lol. I wonder who will fall for the other first.

My favourite girl is the blue hair one. I really like her.

There wasnt much romance this episode so this might be a slow burner. Which Im fine with as long as we're given a decent level of yuri throughout.

Wow, I have to say... I'm surprised there are so many positive comments here. I really don't have anything good to say about this so I don't recommend reading for anyone that doesn't want to hear all negative stuff. :(

I saw the visual and thought it looked beautiful and was definitely interested. Looked like it was going to be a very cute, yuri slice of life. My husband is a big fan of yuri stuff and also wanted to see it. The first minute into the episode, I could feel a connection between the main characters.

And then the rest of the episode happened. All I could think is "Where are the teachers? Parents? Anyone?" Like nobody cares at all these people are skipping class? I guess it must be hit on later but it just seemed really unrealistic and awkward. There's waaaaaaaay too much monologuing and pointless "pretty" shots that just feel like they have no purpose. They just kind of are there and drag on.

Then the side characters come along and they were just sooooooooooo cringy. I can't believe we STILL have characters that grab each other's boobs out in public like it's no big deal when will this trope die? Like my friends and I in high school were all super lesbian with each other and even we knew not to do that kind of stuff... and to like... be respectful of each other.

And then there was more pointless rambling dialogue...

and we just couldn't take it anymore and had to turn it off before the first episode finished.

And the astronaut thing was just like "Wtf even is this?" -_-

First time we have dropped a first episode in a long time. Thankfully there's more than plenty of good series this season.

Visuals were good, but I think the show's vibe is kind of monotonous and dull. It just feels kinda dead. Also I think it rushes the main character's relationship too much without actually building up good connection between them. They're supposed to be good friends from middle school but it feels like they became friends just yesterday. The dialogues feel kinda off and awkward as well. Overall a 5/10 episode. I think it has the same problem as After the Rain and Violet Evergarden's anime adaptations. The visuals look great but everything else just feel forced and unnatural.

I agree with a lot of things here. It feels way too unrealistic and awkward, in a bad way. The visuals were great (though there were some 3d animation bits I didn't like) but the characters just aren't compelling enough. It gives off dead monotonous vibes which I'm surprised not a lot of people here picked up on.

Now this was a sweet and adorable episode with a bit of bitterness and lewd scenes mixed in. Visuals were really beautiful too.

I liked both of the protags, Adachi specially was really cute and lewd too. Shimamura was okay for now but with all her monologues might like her more after more episodes. Nagafuji was hot, I love megane oppai girls and Hino was quite funny with all her groping XD.

Thou I wonder what's that space suit kid is supposed to be. Some sort of Alien?

As a big fan of Shoujo, I’ve been looking forward to this one since it was first announced and wasn’t disappointed at all.
Shoujo? Typo? Cause it's a Shoujo AI and not Shoujo.


I think he is saying that he likes girls.

shimamura's friends are super annoying & i feel sad for adachi :( excited to see how their relationship develops! also, this animation is so cute, honestly a 10/10 for me on that aspect. the fan service scenes were a little much tbh: they were overly obvious and distracting. plus a whole character dedicated to 'big boobs' fan service? pretty awkward but i feel like the show definitely has potential. i don't hate this and i don't think i'll drop it but i'm predicting a 6-7 rating.

I'm not a big fan of Shoujo Ai, in fact this is actually my first time watching one. As far as I can see there's quite a lot of pretty good thing happening, the relationship between them is kinda cute.

The looks are pretty good the close up on the eyes are very fascinating, this is kinda like Kyoto animation but a Shoujo Ai one.

It has been a while since I last watched a shoujo ai, so I really wanted to watch this show. And considering how much I liked the first episode, I am glad I did.

It is quite apparent from the start that the selling point of this show is Adachi and Shimamura's relationship. Well, they are the titular characters after all. However, the other characters aren't bad either. I hope they will play a somewhat big role in the story. The animation looks really fucking beautiful. I think it's quite creative too.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to the next episodes! I wonder who the "astronaut" is, though.

Things are going smooth! Art's great, and the story is adapted well. Character synergy! I was sure Adachi was there first, but correct me if I'm wrong. Sometimes I think it's a little too detailed though, like adding pink on their lips on some occasions but not others.

that was ok, pretty calming so far. Story seems simple but enjoyable, characters seem interesting and memorable. OP and ED are pretty, meh. Give it a few listens and i'll probably like them. Seems to be a more calming SOL anime compared to some others this year, i'm down with it.

Narrative can be somewhat hard to follow but i think i got it. Cinematography and some of the visuals in this anime were pretty nice won't lie. Quite a few scenes like the portray of ocean or rain, in this episode alone i found pretty good.

All in all, i'm not expecting anything to much, hoping this'll be a somewhat chill anime, and have me not think to hard about the little stuff.

"I don't think we're thinking about same next time." - Shimamura says.. I wonder, what she means.. Like, she means that next time Adachi will pay for her in cafe or something instead of school lunch?.. Well, who knows..
Hm.. Shimamura strangely describes people.. Like in a bit critical way, it feels.. Maybe she doesn't like these 2 girls too much?..
Shimamura says getting too close to person can lead to conflicts and arguing.. Well.. Who knows..
Well.. Relationship can deprave you from air, really.. In a sense that you get tired, and it takes your energy and stuff.. But who knows, if this is what Shimamura meant, or not..
Adachi doesn't really want to talk with those girls either, it seems..
Well, we get Shimamura's POV (point of view) more, but I guess Adachi has just as much questioning thoughts about relationships.. How she didn't show up when these 2 other girls visited, and how she has only Shimamura as a friend, as she says..
Well, interesting start.. But anime can go anywhere.. Will see..

"So Adachi is a Namekian." LMAO. That Dragon Ball Z reference caught me by surprise. Because Namekians only drink water. I guess Akira Hino is a Dragon Ball fan.

This is a bit slow paced, but the characters seem interesting.

I'm not sure what to think of regarding the person in the spacesuit, though.

This series opened up bouncing all over the place, sort of like a ping pong ball. There's a friendship that might already be going Yuri on one side, there's a weird astronaut person, there's two friends who don't support the main friend, we have MC delinquents... it just goes on. It just feels like a random collection of plot thrown together. It's not good; it's not bad. It's just a little much for the opening episode. Hopefully the show calms down some as it moves along.

This first episode was great. Love the chemistry between Adachi and Shimamura already. Big F for Shimamura when she brought her other friends to the "secret spot." At least she realized her mistake soon after.
