----------------------------------------
After watching the first episode this show seems really promising to me! I thought it was great.
I really liked the character designs, especially Chihiro. Going to be interesting to see how it will develop.
Oh and did I see Touhou?!

this show is really promising, I'd had a feeling about that before it started. Now I'm really fine with the choice of my list design ^^
the only thing that I didn't expect is that the Intro and outro were not that powerful as the intro of the game..
maybe they will be changed with episode 2 what some series did in past.

It looked amazing. The candles, the stained glass windows, the train tracks, the sky, the dark snowy night etc.

I'm expecting great things from this series and by the looks of episode 1 it's going to achieve them if it keeps it up.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, once the episode started with Renji and Chihiro at the train stop, you could hear a nice subtle background melody which I thought was going to flare up into a powerful intro like the series Air or something, but yeah theres a chance they might change the intro for the next ep.

Anyways I enjoyed the first episode, and it seems like this series is going to turn out pretty interesting^^,

That's what I meant with Touhou. =(
Touhou and Lucky Star in one, whoo~

I couldn't be bothered to take a screen myself, so I just googled.

I really liked this, probably like Asou and Chihiro's part more than anyone else. Hey, they had kitties and a Stand By Me reference, which surprises me, I didn't think that'd be a popular movie in Japan. xD It's odd to find a Stephen King reference in anime.

Anyway, I hope this lives up to my expectations. So far I really like it, the animation is crisp and so is the style.

At start i didn't thought this show would be promising so it even wasn't in my list. But... after watching episode 1, i can say that i really changed my mind :D
Beautiful art, nice story... I liked the OP/ED a lot, specially the OP, reminds me of RPG games i used to play, somehow lol.

Chihiro's so cute >.<

I have to agree with Faust for now. I was really hoping for some kind of hook to get me really into this show. It seems I may have to wait and see.

Interesting start. I really liked how the episode was directed in terms of art. It was a bit confusing with so many characters popping up and I find Chihiru's voice to be a bit annoying. Still it made a pretty good impression and I'll probably see this one through.

^ Yeah, Chihiro's voice bothered me (but so do other high-pitched voices) but other than that, I liked this episode. Nothing big to draw me in but it definitely left a good impression with the art. The music was great too.

LOL at the nice boat paper
the anime itself looks confusing since i havent played the game, and the different points of view, like the chihiro part of the story and the hiro part of the story...
everything was pretty nice, except the OP didnt really get into me, the OP was ok though
expecting something good from this series, gonna watch it to the end...

I liked the OP too. And everything else about the first episode. This will probably be ten billion times better than sola, and that is my fav romance/drama anime for the year. Going to watch 6 episodes tonight! Maybe I'll catch up to you guys and watch all 10 if I feel like it.

Edit: I Finished watching this episode....
It makes me fell like finishing sola first...

I'm having a hard time to try to understand most of the connections between characters since its alot of characters for one single episode, but its somehow messy too...

the first episode to me is kind of scattered and to some might make it interesting and make the viewer watch more but to others it might scare them away i think.

Just watched Conclaves MKV version; and only thing that pops in my head each scene.. WTH?! THIS ART IS SO IMPRESSIVE! THIS IS FTW!

Then, in the Nice Boat (School Days) Oh, OMG What's that? I just finished School Days and still got the emotional feeling in it, but WTH with that reference? It really gave me a good laugh. Then the Lucky Star game, Hahaha! I'm currently watching it and what's that? Hahaha! A good thing in this anime with GREAT animation.

This was a bit confusing since I couldn't figure out how everything connects. It caught my interest enough for me to continue and find out though.. Visually the show looks great but the constantly changing art direction will probably take some getting used to. All in all it's an intriguing start so I'm looking forward to more.

I'm loving this show based off of the animation alone, I feel I can really appritiate the show itself as a work of art based off of that and the sound. As for the actual plot, they seemed to try and shove a lot into the first episode, hopefully it won't be so crowded in episodes after this one.

Me too, I started to vomit in my mouth.

Visual affects are nice, but I hope they have a thematic purpose other than looking nice.

Hmm, so there is two stories going on at once? I don't understand what's up with the eyepatch girl, but then again, it's only been one episode.

Animation and sound is nice. This looks like it's going to end up being really damn depressing later on, though. Looking forward to more.

I thought the same! I love the art-style, it looks very fresh and interesting, which suits Dramas very well.
I can forsee Tragedy looming as the plot progreses, too.

Very interesting start. This series looks promising, hope it keeps going like this =p. Love the Chihiro and Renji stuff in particular.

Btw if one girls name is Chihiro doesn't it make more sense to pair her up with Hiro instead of Renji?

5/5 for this episode for sure.

A friend of mine recommended me this and I just finished the first episode.

First of all let me tell you: absolutely amazing music and by that I also mean BGM. It fits the mood of each scene so excellent. I really enjoyed that.

I'm really a fan of Miya's attitude. So powerful and loveable. I have a feeling that she won't disappoint me and be my favourite character of this show. But let's see, much more to come I guess.

Don't miss out on the beautiful ED song.
