Wow that was adorable yet sad. The art was extremely appealing and the atmosphere just put me in a relaxed/tranquil mood. The characters seem pretty good and left a good first impression. The premise reminded me of ef-tale.

I love the art style, it reminds me of Usagi Drop. I hope this show gets really emotional since it seems to have that potential. Very excited to see where this goes.

Love the coloring style Brains Base went for, well it's representative of the manga covers, so it's great. Such a calming anime, kind of like a healing-type. Overall, beautiful episode! The ED song was nice too, the VA seems pretty new, but her singing voice is relaxing to listen to.

the moment when you are surprised you can sing the ED song when you didn't know this song will be a song you know by heart! This version of Kanade is not bad, loved the vocal! If someone want to listen to the full version:

I had already guessed she would lose her memories when the dates kept appeared.

I really did enjoy this episode. Was actually expecting her to be voiced by KanaHana too, she totally fits her appearance. Looking forward to more.

I am REALLY HOPING for a bitter-sweet creyzcreyz to this anime.
So far it has hit when he realises that she'd forgotten about him.

I really like the opening song, it somewhat sounds really nostalgic o_o

Wow. That was a strong start. The art is nice, the VAs did a good job and the ED is great too. Light-hearted and a wave of feels in one bundle O__O

This series officially belongs to my "Can't wait for next week!" list, right up there with Mushishi.

It reminds me somehow of the art style of Hourou Musuko which I absolutely loved. It also has a sweet and innocent aura which I also really like. And this was what I expected from this anime and it really didn't disappoint. If it stays the way it is now, it has a strong chance to be the dark horse of the season.

Such a cute red face ;)

So sad, poor girl.

In retrospect she could keep a diary/scrapbook and take pictures of good times so that she could re-remember her friends, a pseudo-memory is better than nothing, although reading it every week might become a pain :/

Excellent first episode. I was guessing what her problem was at the beginning. I didn't remember the synopsis for this anime, and I don't remember them for any of the other airing anime for the first time. I'm glad I got it right. It's a fun plot device.

Will continue watching.

I've been waiting for this...

The only thing that bothers me is that Shougo's voice seems deeper then I thought, a lot deeper... deep... this anime's deep maaaaaan... deeeeeeeeeeep. HIS VOICE IS DEEP!

Overall, I think this is a flawless first episode, but I do think the first scene was too sudden, but it does it's job, introducing the plotline.

OST isn't anything too great, it's decent. Okay, maybe it's pretty good.
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

Wow this is surprisingly really good so far. I love the art, the atmosphere, and how simple this anime really is. So far this is definitely the best intro episode of the season (besides Mushishi of course)!

It's so adorable seeing them together and I really like how much effort Hase will put in just to be friends with Fujiyama.

I just hope that the quality doesn't drop as each episode is released. (Like Kotoura-san, amazing start leading to a terrible finish.)

This seems rather relaxing. And fun to watch at the same time. Fujimiya and Hase are great together.

Aaaaand now I see Fujimiya has memory relapse(?)
I can already sense major, major feels from this show. It's gonna be good.

I like the OST for this show.

Fujimiya said her family was an exception to the memory loss so maybe Hase has a chance at being at least partly remembered.

Not sure how they plan to make this 12 episodes without it starting to feel repetitive or fillerish. Guess I'll keep watching.

The episode was a little rushed, but I really appreciated the unique character designs, especially the single strands of hair that kinda just hung out there lol, at first it bothered me, but near the end I was already liking it.

Lovely OP. This is really nice, slice-of-life. Fujimiya is really cute and man, what a sad life. I feel for her... So that's the reason her expression looked troubled when he complimented her memory... This is gonna take some dedication.

Man, now that was amazing. Excellent premise and simply breathtaking.
