| This is a very refreshing watch. The first episode was able to leave a very good impression. |

| Thanks based Michiru Oshima for the ost |
 |
| that was so light and fluffy to my kokoro i like this kind of stories so 10/10 and the ost is pretty good |
 |
| That was a good start. I fell for Zen OMG<3 Looking forward to the next episode~ |
  |
| Love it! <3 Great start and I just can't wait for the next episode already. Glad that it is split cour. |
| Omg I forgot about this one. Gonna watch it naooo~ Wish me luck! Can't wait to see animated Zen. (Is it good tho? Won't it disappoint?) /flies awaaay |
  |
| I didn't realise Hayami Saori is voicing the girl <3 I feel like I'm falling in love with Shirayuki already. And Hayami Saori's OP sounds really great!! |
| Cute is justice. |
| That was a GREAT first episode! I can't wait for the next episode. Another great Shoujo this time. :D |
 |
| Not that the anime's animation is bad but I prefer the manga's artsyle more than the anime's. Other than that I really have no complaints. It was perfect and I'm glad BONES picked this up. Hopefully the quality stays consistent throughout the season. |
| Such a good first episode and I really like it. Good work BONES. 8/10 |

| dying whale noises...this was gorgeous? the scenery the ost the COLOURS. and my Zen! this episode was pretty much on par with the manga...hope they keep this up |
| hmmm... they need to improve the characters art. :/ Zen looks so different for me.. and others.. I hope they not ruined Akizuki Sorata-sensei's pretty drawing especially those pretty clothes;; Oh BONES you can do better btw the animation is 5/5 :33 |
| Shipping so hard. Fell for Zen. PERFECT HUSBAND MATERIAL FROM EPISODE 1. |
 |
| Hm, just your typical shoujo story. I'm only interested because Shirayuki's rule as a herbalist though. Not bad first episode, just alright I guess. [s]nevertheless watching Zen is a real treat for my eyes |

| Shirayuki is a nice character. She's really cute too. I like the fairy-tail aspect and the art is pretty. |

shanimebib said: I find it interesting that no one questioned whether the Second Prince of Clarines holds more power than the Crown Prince of Tanburn. That was one of the few things that peaked my interest in the manga. I will leave it for you guys to ponder. Also, let's not discuss the anime beyond what has been presented without spoiler tags. Including other anime that you think is similar. We can get excited but if you think about it, it's unfair for those who watch anime only. I noticed that but just figured it must be a bigger kingdom or something. |
| IT'S FINALLY HERE!! YASSS. Alright, so, to talk about the episode. First impression: the art is amazing. No doubt about that. From the posters that I've been seeing going around I was worried about how they were going to animate this but they did exceptionally well. I was constantly amazed by the scenery and the animation on the character movements and such. At times though, the characters kinda looked off at certain angles. Nothing too bad that will bug me. I'm glad they relatively stuck to the manga. I actually enjoyed the store scene. It's nice to see her in action before having to wait a couple of episodes. The voices for the characters aren't bad either. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing FukuJun as Raji; he plays him so well xD Shirayuki and Zen's voice are pleasant on the ears and Kiki sounds just as her character personality is. Mitsuhide's voice wasn't as I was expecting it but it's not bad. The ED actually OP song is nice as well. I wouldn't mind having to listen to it before getting to the episode. The background music suits the theme of the anime too. It really makes me feel like I'm actually in the story and not just enjoying the ride, which is always a good thing. All in all, this anime exceeded my expectations. Coming from someone who read the manga, I am really happy with how this is going. Excited for the next episode (which I think Obi's finally going to make his appearance Cx)! |
 |
| Very well done first episode, they allude to the original Snow White story while mixing it up to be more original very well, and got through it all without feeling like we were being cluttered with information. This show has one of the best first episodes of the summer, and it definitely has my full attention. |
 |
| I've fallen in love with this anime. |
 |
| This show is perfect <3 Loving the voice actors for Zen and Shirayuki (Same as the leads from Yamada and the Seven Witches). Also really digging the visuals/animation and the OST. Really gives a Disney feel to it. Shirayuki <3333 |
| The animation was better than I expected it to be. Nice start though |
| Great start I wonder whats gonna happen next!!! Glad that zen saved her at the end there, the other prince was a jerk.. Can't believe its the yamada and shirashi combo again!!! Yeshhh |

ElenirLachlagos said: Well, that escalated quickly... Anyone else has the feeling they watched an entire series in 25 minutes? It feels like the end. That's it, plot's through, nothing more to see. Makes me wonder how it'll go on. Woa Woa they didnt even ship yet how is it done xD, don't worry you won't get bored, it's very well written |
 |
| "We have white hair, blue hair, yellow hair- wait the entire rainbow minus red. How dare you be red. Oh, how strange." That's what I feel whenever someone questions Shirayuki's hair. Anyways, the show itself is enjoyable and charming. I like the setting and I like Shirayuki quite a bit, she's a boss. Zen and the others are nice, too. Some of the dialogue felt cheesy but who cares. |
 |
| God, I could have written something better than this. Main girl's voiced by Saori Hayami too, somebody fucking kill me now. |
| Man i remember trying to read this years ago i still have it in my bookmarks lol never got pass the first chapter,but this was a nice start animation/visuals were great. ill keep watching i like the MC plus even though Hayami Saori is getting so many roles now adays she does a solid job so i'm cool with it |
 |
| I like Shirayuki.. she's more likeable than Yona or even Nike (so far). Of course it helps that she's voiced by Saori Hayami's goddess voice. I can watch this with eyes closed just to hear her voice XD shanimebib said: I find it interesting that no one questioned whether the Second Prince of Clarines holds more power than the Crown Prince of Tanburn.

Including other anime that you think is similar. We can get excited but if you think about it, it's unfair for those who watch anime only. I thought it has nothing to do with which one has higher status but rather the act of poisoning another country's prince can be regarded as an act against the nation itself. I mean I assume it'll still be a huge incident if say, the crown prince of Japan assaulted prince Harry. |

| Seems fairly promising so far, but the constant use of metaphors in the dialogue was really annoying and felt very pretentious. |

| Love the story, characters and even character development!! |

| Animation and sound are godly. Story wasn't bad as well. Will definetly follow this one. |
| Actually better than I thought! It's like I'm watching Disney-Anime version! I'm a sucker for short red-haired girl. I like Shirayuki already! The settings and visuals are pretty nice, too. Definitely picked and will continue watching! |
 |
| Thoughts for this Episode: Okay the adaptation was good and the animation was alright. The OST and ED or OP was also good. The story really reminds of of Akatsuki no Yona. Maybe Because of the red hair? Well, I'm really gonna watch this show every week to find out more! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
tsubasalover said: No shit. Though I hated his character for the most part (being a typical spoiled, narcisist, elitist rich boy), I laughed my ass off when he said "he gives information as he sees it, so he might as well be a mirror".FukuJun's character is so funny, but just another rich guy. Main girl is cheerful. Medicine store, huh. She just cut her hair immediately. On the way, she met that guy immediately and proved that what she brings is not poison. Poison from the apple and the prince is ok?! He's second prince of the country next door? He helped her from not going to be "married" (?) FukuJun's character. According to ED (OP), she's going to join the kingdom? lol @ the CMs for the manga. That was so fun. Him aside I found Zen and Shirayuki to be sweet. Not insta-feels like other couples bring but it was sweet nonetheless. |

Stark700 said: Wow, the animation style is more elegant than I had expected. Started with the introduction of Shirayuki in the forest and we get a nice glimpse of the fantasy world. In particular, I thought the music has a slow yet smooth tone. Shirayuki reminds me somewhat of Yona but she seems to be quite intelligent already. Zen's introduction is what I had expected though. I find it Shirayuki to be quite confident though despite being faced with a sword and shows her medicine knowledge. What a fascinating character. Good start so far. This is split cour so I expect more story development.  same! |
 |
| I hope this gets better. I wasn't a huge fan of the characters. They all felt really cliche and unoriginal to me. I liked the animation, but if the storyline doesn't get better, I'll probably end up dropping this one. Obviously since it was the first episode, it's unreasonable to expect character depth from the get-go, but I hope there's some serious character development/depth introduced later. |
| Wow...really surprised by this one. It's been a long time since I remember being impressed/intrigued right from the start. Oshima's music was great as always. |
