| Looks like an intresting anime, altought the opening was like WTF ^^ I'm sure i will follow this serie |
 |
| I don't really know what I thought of this. Completely different than expected. I thought the girl would be older, for a start... =P I don't really know where this will go though. I wasn't too fond of some of the characters animations, and there's still a lot unexplained, but ah well... |

| Pretty good episode. The OP and ED are great, can't wait to get my hands on the full versions. I really liked the rather fast-paced conversations, looking forward to episode 2. |

| I think the first 10Minuts of the first Episode were really weird, but the rest was really cool =) Living Room? Here. Dinner Room? Here. Bath? No one is here. WHAT NO BATHROOM :D |
 |
| My favorite of the new shows so far. Really thought that this was an awesome episode. |
 |
| yeah i loved it too. but it seems like this is going to be a pretty serious anime, not a comedy show. and i don't get the tags, this obviously looks like a seinen to me. |
| Agree ephemeralM, that's what I first thought... Oh well, some different anime on it's time is fine as well. I like the story, but I don't really like the style, but that's just something I'll just have to get used to. I'll see for the next episodes how they are, but I don't really like it right now. Oh, and I have to say that I like the OP and EN songs, but the OP and EN are just a bit too weird for me. Reminds me of Honey and Clover about the ''weird'' part xD |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| The girl got on my nerves a bit...but besides that, good episode! |
     |
| it's nice especially animation i'm definitely gonna continue watching it |

| Nice. I hate that type of art. But i must say is one of the best out there. Its neat and realistic. I like the characters design. Though there ain't any original personality... (Well i guess its pretty hard to achieve new types now.... ) The opening was like "WTF?" and i skiped the ed right after 5 seconds it started... I will sure follow this series. I have high expectations on this show.... |
what_ever said: The girl got on my nerves a bit...but besides that, good episode! They captured the ideal personality of a rich 7 year old pretty well in my opinion. Slightly unrealistic in her tone and "toughness" however. She defines yet another tsundere loli in my eyes, just a little more extreme on the loli aspect this time xD The episode in itself was good however. There were no glaring problems and animation was nice. I'll definitely be following this for the rest of the season. |
| This anime is definitely a nice surprise. I've been looking for something along the lines of Aishertuze Baby. Looks like I may find something like it. Fast-paced conversations are win. Definitely will keep watching this. |
| i found thsi to be a very slow start, and definitely not an attention grabber... nothing too interesting so far.... might as well look for others to watch... |
 |
| I got more than I expected and that was a pretty good first episode I have to say. I'm still pretty unsure about what genre I should put this in but oh well I look forward to continue watching this. :) |
 |
| I have zero problems with this show so far. Wonderful. Also, Genji referencing FTW. |
 |
| it was pretty good, i like that kinda protecting your sister thing (no insent). even though they're not blood related |
| So I'm guessing it follows the light novel right? Because I read the manga and it's completely different from it. Though it could just be a pre-episode and just shows how Kurenai and Murakami meet. Oh well, I thought it was ok anyway. |
     |
| I think the pace seemed kind of hasted at a start, and you didn't really get directly introduced to any of characters. But maybe that's just how it's supposed to be. I just hope we're not supposed to cry for someone with less than 20 minute screen time, as seen in Air. And I'm interested in what kind of power he posesses, Kurenai that is. But yeah, this definatelly is seinen as far as I can see. Not much comedy, and I can see lot of tearful moments coming. |

| This kept my interest the entire episode, especially with the opening. I'm wondering what's up with his arm or whatever Kurenai was clutching. And I was also expecting the girl to be older (fooled by the picture!) but I don't mind this either. In fact I think it's kind of cute =P |

radiantfire said: The opening is definitely an attention grabber. It was weird, lol. I'm not sure if I liked it or not but it sure did get my attention. Anyway, I also like the animation and music of the show. I'll definitely watch the second episode just to see if it could clarify some stuff for me in the manga. That and the fact that I thought it was alright :) Same here >"< cause i thought it was a little odd at first, but i'm waiting for the second episode now :D |
| Really liked this show; it was refreshing after the trashiness of Kanokon and TLR, despite me enjoying the former. I'm interested to see how their relationship develops. |
  |
| the subtle character intro is what makes this show more interesting. i look forward to watchign this. |
| I thought the first part was kind of rushed and so few explanations were given, I spent the first 8-9 first minutes with a face like this : "é__è", not understanding crap about what was happening. But the second part has a better pacing and I enjoyed way more. In about a couple of seconds, I already sympathized with the characters (especially Murasaki : she really looks like a 7 years old girl) and I found the dialogue very insipred and very natural. (It's probably the light novels roots of the show.) My "é__è" face quickly changed into a "^o^" face, and I was nodding and murmuring "yes... yes... yup, this is what I call a show... yes..." when Shinkurou was interacting with Murasaki. This show has a lot of potential. |

They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. |
| Nice show, unique op. |
 |
| I really like the manga, so i that's why i'm watching this. At first i saw the promo and disliked the artwork but i got used to it and ended up liking this first ep. I guess the anime is following the visual novel. |
| Visual novel? I never knew there was one. |
| I think he meant light novel. If this turns out good, it's going on my to-read list. |
|
| The beginning was very confusing, but once I realized what was going on it seemed to be like an ok series. I just want to know whats with Shinkurou's arm. |
 |
| i liked it,the animation style and music is different from the usual anime as well as the topic.kinda like aeshiteruze baby(sorry if i spelled it wrong). i am gonna watch it.definitely |
  |
| Wow, it was great. Love the art. |
| Confusing at first but I have a feeling I will like this series a lot. |
| It was straaange... (starting from the OP o__O;) I dunno what to think about it yet. |
     |
| hmm the character designs remind me of Baccano! |
| Brain Base also produced Baccano. Maybe that has something to do with it. Although I get a stronger Red Garden vibe than anything else. |
|
| Murasaki is totally awesome just like i knew she would be. Me loves her design :3 Well my expectations were met, i loved this. Definitely waiting for more~ |

| I enjoyed this first episode and I am looking forward to the next. I thought the intro was pretty cool actually, though I do agree that it doesn't seem to fit the series based on the first episode. |

| This series definitely has potential. Good animation, the characters seem entertaining and though the plot isn't very defined yet, I'm hoping that will be okay too. Just have to see how it goes I guess, definitely looking forward to it next week though. |
 |
| Definitely one of the best animations I've seem. The story flowed smoothly too, so I'm seeing a lo of potential in this one. |
 |
| Animation is nice but it was rather boring, going to keep watching a few more episodes just to see if it goes anywhere. |
  |
| Awesome animation/design/opening theme with a start that leaves plenty of room for character development. I think it will be a great series, it kind of reminds me of KURAU Phantom Memory with a bit of romance and a Witch Hunter Robin feeling too. Great one, 9/10 for now, I will see how it evolves, since it's a pretty unusual anime. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

| As far as first episodes go, this was very good. I'll definitely be following this. |
