Art is actually very nice, but some of the camera angles seem weird. Male mc seems like a far more annoying version of the mc of Dangers in My Heart. Oh well, let’s see how this ends up

This first episode is so dramatic 😭 I have no idea whats up with the animation, like was animating every single god damn hair strand for slight movement that necessary 😭 Those weird ass angles too, like why??? I'm not saying it's bad but it's certainly... ambitious.

And also, why does the male lead always react so dramatically??? Ain't nothing happening bro you don't have to react so much 😭

I'll be honest. The only reason I'm checking out this anime is that I liked the character design of the main heroine Mie on the key visual. Otherwise, I really don't care about most seasonal romcoms.

Her design vaguely reminded me of another character I loved. But judging by the first episode, their personalities couldn't be more different.

First episode was okay. The CGI was... definitely "unique." But I love the way Mie's hair was animated. I guess Mie will be the only reason I'll keep coming back to this series.

Really enjoyed seeing the unique camera angles and perspectives, I wish this was something that was done more often. Also made me think that I don't recall seeing a grass running track before in an anime.

The animation and CGI are all over the place, this sucks.

The only thing better than anime is anime with snacks.

Her hair is a big thing in the manga as well so it's understandable for the studio to dedicate a fair chunk of their budget towards animating it. Wish they had done a bit of a better job with it (Kyoani simply are the masters at animating hair properly)

Yeah I see where you're coming from with this. I'm so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore. I chalked it up as him being very young (I think 13-14 so beginning of puberty), being extremely infatuated and not used to being in such close proximity to a girl either. As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) the japanese are very keen at keeper their personal space in check, especially if it's with the other gender. But it is something that western audiences can't fully relate to so I just got used to it. Since I have no actual frame of reference this might also just be "Anime"


Now for the episode itself:
It adapted Chapter 1,2,3,5 and 14. The first few are longer chapters but 14 is a very short one (the scene at the end where she wears contacts). I bring this up because the manga has 101 chapters but A LOT of them are like 4-5 pages each so we may even be in for a semi-full adaption up to the current chapter which would be great.
The animation was well done in some parts and overdone in others I feel. I absolutely give them credit for going the extra mile on so many things like not using cgi crowds and even animating background characters in scenes where the focus is on the main characters, it makes the scenes feel more alive. You could propably animate two episodes with the amount of unique Key-frames that the "tracking" shots in the beginning had and that is certainly something to aknowledge but at the same time I wonder if a little less of that and a little more fluid hair would've been a better compromise. Overall it was good though with a few hitches here and there.
Story is very minimal at this point. Mie-chan is an absolute oddball and the episode is trying to hammer this point home quite hard. She also comes of as a bit helpless and all over the place which makes you want to help her. There's a lot more cute stuff to come and I hope you give it a fair shot. It will be absolutely diabetus inducing though.

ALSO don't get bogged down by "How does she keep forgetting her glasses" it doesn't hold up in court at all and should be a non-issue (it's mentioned in episode 1 that she lives very close to school so she can autopilot to school or something but it's never mentioned that she can just get the glasses during breaks). I see it as a means to quickly form a bond that would normaly take a lot longer and is also somewhat more intimate(?)

Interested as to whether this develops past the standard romcom affair. and the weird camera is leading to a lot of unintentional dutch angles.

Obviously super out there visually

I do appreciate experimental animation but not sure this is experimental intentionally, nor if it fits the tone of the content
Though of course the animation itself is mostly just conventionally pretty, it's just superimposed on really over the top camera work, effects and strange pacing

The extreme camera angles look awful and it would've been much better without them. That girl must be legally blind if she literally can't see anything even up close

Honestly compared to my other experience with GoHands anime (Handshakers) this was so much more manageable visuals wise, and I'm glad it somewhat calmed down with the crazy camera angles as the episode progressed. I'm definitely not the demographic for this anime but it was kinda cute, and it seems like it'll be somewhat comfy watching for the season.

i knew it. this cute manga was going to get a Hand shakers-like adaptation and I was not wrong. what is going on with the camera and the cgi? those weird camera angles serve no purpose and are done to make it seems like good animation while in reality it's pretty meh. Dear reader, go check the manga instead :3

Yeah, kids don't act like this, but middle school boys would act like that if it wasn't that in our society kids are encouraged to grow up faster and they act like they are 19 when they are 14 and like 40 years old when they are 19.

That’s not really what it’s about, middle school boys have been around girls for years and can talk to them without having strokes

The camera angles are something that stuck out for me as cool and unique. It was definitely enjoyable but felt very unrealistic in how she would forget her glasses and be basically blind. I’ve forgetten to take my glasses in sometimes to school but that is because my eyesight isn’t terrible. And also the fact of how quickly she just got comfortable with this random dude. It’s cheesy and unrealistic but it is a fun watch. It’s nice and easy.

That is for sure, but the protagonist is a timid boy and he's talking to the girl he's in love, plus this is a cartoon, obviously the reaction are exaggerated. If you look at it like that, well, it's not so bad.

Komura is so embarrassing and cringey. I’m shy too but at least I don’t jump out of my seat and get so tense when someone reads the shares my book in class. This guy overthinks every single thing Mie does. I’ll give it an episode or two more, but I hope this guy changes. The animation was both unusual and awesome at the same time. The camera angles weren’t necessary though.
Also I don’t know how Mie can’t see too close without her glasses. I would get it if she is farsighted but it seems like she’s both farsighted and nearsighted because she can’t even see two centimeters in front of her.

Only read a bit of the manga, so still don't fully know what to expect.
Would say they really went hard with those opening shots towards the school, turned out quite well though I guess.
I like the VA picks for the main two, seems to fit quite well.

while Im not really a fan of rotating fishlens ground shots and the like, the technical aspects of animation are insane. The virtual camera(as seen before in Onimai), the lighting, shaders and textures of 3D are really good, if a bit over the top. Also the livelines of the world, background characters, most of them voiced, the way sound is designed to fit the environment etc. It's clear there was A LOT of work done.

...for a story about a blind girl and a fool MC in need of touching grass, it's pretty wild, especially considering the bare bones style of the manga. I wonder if they can keep it up like this for a whole seasson.

Goodness. The art is 11/10.
Thought I’d get annoyed at the MC’s personality but the VA is doing too well; overshadowing it all together.
And dang, Mie is so adorable in multitude of aspects!
