omg I underestimated this...I should've sat next to the tissue box...
I mean...the anime synopsis does say that the kid dies and I had expected it already going in but the delivery was so masterful my feels....

And to think that was just episode 1 out of...20?
Was so good it could've worked as a 1 episode standalone OVA/movie.....(well it seemed better than the last few anime movies I recall watching)

edit: By the way...am i the only one who swears I heard the 'thing' talked when it finally took a bite of that fish? The boy didn't even react to it beyond the "you can eat after all" comment...
the boy always imagined the wolf conversing with him so he thought it was just his imagination

One of the best first episodes that I ever seen. I am not familiar with the manga, but I knew from the trailer what will happen and it still hit hard. Animation and soundtrack are really good, too. Looking forward to watch it weekly.

the dead wolf wasn't revived. the stone turned into a perfect replica of the wolf.

i have no idea how u got all that from these 2 screenshots. i see no comedy and fanservice and SOL from the preview.

Yeah, what the heck is he talking about

"just another wannabe-emotional slice of life show stuffed with comedy and fanservice?"

Just watch the next arc and comeback and try to comment that again. I would love to see you try that my guy.
I'm trying to level with you so lets do this.
Screen cap the part where the boy jumps around after catching a big fish.

If you interpret it without context you'll probably say "Ah its from a comedic anime isn't it!"

Then watch the whole episode again, compare what you have seen from the goofy screen cap we got.

Try saying its an anime full of comedy and fan service again.

Wanna-be emotional huh, hahahahaha

Perfect OST and voice actors. The animation and art is also pretty good and consistent. Brain's Base have done the first chapter justice.

I don't like dramas much, but when I do, it's because they're driven by the characters. And yet, this shies away from them going all Donner Party too, so it also feels a little spineless.

This story is very character driven. It's literally about an orb gaining consciousness and going out into the world to gain more stimuli and therefore experiences and emotions.

The episode ends with the narrator saying "It will meet all kinds of people and feel all kinds of things... Just as the boy had wished to do."

Cool story bro.

No seriously it was a nice episode, not sure it has business being at 8.75 at the moment though.

The directing was probably a bit too safe. I'd say like 12 minutes of more content would have given the screenwriters more freedom to make the scenes breathe and let the whole thing become much more atmospheric and enthralling but TVA is restricted to 24 minutes sadly.

I have some doubts, can someone help me?

1. I don't understand how the wound is made. When the boy falls, the cart is in front of him or in front of him, I don't understand how splinters can stick in him. The boy is supposed to sink in the water, I do not understand how that wound is made, and it is not seen. Afterwards, the cart has disappeared, I suppose it has sunk, the problem is that when the boy sinks in the water completely, the cart is still on the ice, it can be seen perfectly ...

2. I do not understand how the wound can bleed so much with the cold it does. The wound should have clotted easily right away. I don't understand how it bleeds so much. Nor do I understand how he has been infected, since he has removed the splinters and with a minimum of knowledge and the supplies that he has been using for a long time, he should have known how to heal. In addition, he lived with his grandmother and other people who have surely taught him to survive. It is impossible that he does not manage to treat that wound properly.

I rarely give scores to New Anime with only 1 episode out, but this is an easy 10/10 from the first episode and I can see myself really enjoying this series.

1. The splinters are from the branches he gathered the scene before

2. He probably hasnt showered for ages so he's covered in grime. He doesn't have alcohol to clean the wound so it makes sense if germs from the splinters got into it causing it to be infected. He was never vaccinated so he's susceptible to many diseases we may be immune to. He likely didn't bring all the medical supplies with him. Even if he did, he still kept going after the injury and kept applying force to it, which worsens it. The infection gave him a fever, and without proper medication its no surprise he succumbed to it at last.

Very good first ep, very atmospheric but obviously a bit hard to watch.
In my opinion a little overhyped, the only anime in recent memory with a higher first ep score was promised neverland and that blew my mind, while this didn't as much. But who cares, I liked it, will probably end up being anime of the season.

all jokes aside, i'm looking forward to this series! the series piqued my interest seeing that utada hikaru was doing the opening (ive been following her stuff since kingdom hearts!). i hope the young boy's sentiments and memory continues to live on, in some way or another.

Wow. Despite the insanely high score, I didn't expect Fumetsu no Anata e to be this good. Well, it comes from the artist of Koe no Katachi, but still, the first episode is unexpectedly amazing. If the rest of the anime keeps up this quality, then it will become my favorite anime of 2021 so far.

This episode gave off the same energy as those dog movies with old dudes (like that one with Harrison Ford, I think it’s called the call of the wild).

It was a beautiful episode that was much more enjoyable than those movies but the whole I just kept thinking about it

I thought the sad thing everyone was talking about is that the boy's family and friends died, I didn't expect at all for him to die ! When I think about it it was predictable but I think I didn't want to believe it. I got so attached to this little guy, I even thought he could become one of my favorites by the end, and then no, because he died without me even knowing his name. I-I'm not crying, I swear.
But what I expected even less was that the boy we would be following would actually be that shapeshifting thing that took the form of the dead boy, I'm really curious to see what it will lead to.
Overall it's a show with beautiful music, an intriguing story, that managed to make me deeply care about a character I barely knew, that's definitely a great start ! It has potential to become my AOTS.

Pretty solid and well done first episode.

I'm probably going to be in the minority that doesn't like this show, but I'll say it is very well done, nice animation and managed to adapt the first chapter of the manga really well.

I cannot even begin to describe this deep deep sadness I am feeling right now. It’s not normal, just straight in my gut all I can feel is the tragedy and despair. And I’ve read the manga too, I know it’s just going to get worse

twas' great. Though I gotta say, I was thrown off by the premier because the narrative was something I hadn't imagined it to be.

In terms of the episode, it was very much impactful and might be the best premier of this season. The art direction for this alluring setting is immaculate.

Definitely, this has potential but still have my qualms about the direction this story might take.

First episode was so heartbreaking and beautiful. It made me cry so so hard, I havent cried like this for an anime in such a long time! I cant wait for the direction this story takes :`)
Side note: In a way this show kind of has the same feeling as kino no tabi? Anyone else think so too?

It was a beautiful first episode, but as soon as the stone turned into a replica of the dead wolf, I knew the boy was going to die and the wolf would take his appearance. That's probably why I didn't really care about the boy and wasn't really sad about his passing ^^'

Still a fantastic first episode tho!

This was an amazing first episode and really got me in my feelings. Especially when I realized that the boy and the original wolf actually ended up dying the same way T_T. It also made me have a little existential moment, thinking about humanity's journey and all that our ancestors had to go through to reach the state we are in today. I can't wait to see the rest of this season.

Well it was predictable to say the least but it was also genuine in a way. I liked it. I didn't really cry tho so I don't know what's up with people saying they were crying during the first episode...

The story seems nice and interesting, the OST's are amazing, the animation and art style is great and OMFG IS THAT KENJIRO TSUDA DOING THE NARRATOR'S VOICE? HELL YEAH I AM NOT GONNA DROP THIS.
