The art was kind of ... not great at times? IDK, I feel like it could have been a lot nicer >_< OP and ED were OK, but I didn't really like them. The idea of the "letter from 10 years in the future" is really interesting! I hope to see how that happened. Seems like she gets together with Suwa in the end after Kakeru dies I assume. Anyway, I thought their relationship kind of progressed REALLY quickly, since he was gone for 2 weeks and then well, apparently she fell in love after interacting with him like twice. Well, in any case, it's got an interesting premise so we'll see how this goes. Hoping the second episode picks it up a bit! :O

READ THE BLOODY REST OF IT QUICKLY YOU LAZY FUCKER

Never watch Shoujos normally but heard great things about things and started it, first week feels good, crisp and smart

One problem is I know Hanazawa too well, it doesn't really feel like the character talking...it feels like the actor talking

Expected more sci-fi bits out of this show, but I feel like it's just gonna be a feels show rather than a mystery of sorts. I'll still watch it because of the concept, even if the genre of show is not the kind I'm used to.

Great start! I have a feeling this is just the kind of anime I like.
I really wonder what will happen if the 16-year old will change a couple of events. Maybe Kakeru will eventually make it, but I'm not sure though.

After quite some time great shoujo finally, and HanaKana is just marvellous as always.
Some cuts and angles were weird but it got better towards the end.

Now I know there is no time travel or changing the future here, it's more like her older self is just imagining what would be different if she acted differently in the past. But your past experiences and mistakes makes you into what you are now and she's got one precious little baby because of that so I really wonder why there is a regret in that.

Even now I already presume he won't be saved in the end so everything she's doing is just reconcilling with herself so she can move on. Interesting concept though, although I'm curious how many pages are actually there as it seems she wrote about every day till their graduation.

Great OP and ED, since the beginning I knew the Kakeru was going to die coz he didn't show when they were older.
Naho and Suwa is a good couple, I am happy they are together in the future...I don't know if this story line (past? other world?) will get at that moment, or if they will save Kakeru and Naho ends up with him...

I don't know, but to me it seemed to be very sloppily directed (that and the art seemed a bit too cliche and uninteresting to me). Somehow the first chapter worked better in the manga, but then again maybe I had too high expectations. Looking forward to the rest of it anyway.

Seems like the anime has a good premise although I think this is going to be sad. Do not really like the animation style though. The Op is nice didn't like the ED though. As soon as her future self said look after him, I knew he was dead in their time. :.( I really hope Kakeru doesn't commit suicide, but it seems it was pointing in that direction.

I wonder does Naho really understand that changing the past will change the whole future. I understand that she wants to save Kakeru, but by what cost? Maybe she'll end up together with him after saving him, and the future 10 years later won't come true. How sad would that be? I mean, she has a child then. So she really should think more carefully how her actions will affect her future.

Yes but the future Naho should have thought about it. How changing the past will affect her life 10 years later.

I watch dub anime so I was waiting for the dub to watch this series. It's finally out!

I really enjoyed the first episode and wonder what will happen next. It sucks to wait for 12 weeks to finish this! :/

The female lead seems to be quite naive and good-hearted. The friendly atmoosphere is nice. The new kind is gentle and I wonder why he didn't come to school for 2 werks. Hope this series ends well :/

Seems like it's gonna be a sad story. Definitely interested after the first ep.

My only gripe is that the moment she changed anything based on knowledge from the future, the rest of the things future self have written become unreliable as this creates an alternate timeline. It's kind of a significant plothole, but I'm going to try to ignore it and see where this goes.

So I decided to give this anime a go, on a whim that is. I wanted to find out what all the "hype surrounding it was about. So after a tiring yet productive day of work, I sat down on my sofa and I literally dozed off within the first 6 mins of this episode. The dialogues were very bland and the character designs are not to my taste. It felt as if I was watching Ao Haru Ride for a moment and that isn't a good thing. If anything, Ao Haru Ride was a disaster and so painful to watch.

So far, I'm intrigued. Even though following her future self's instructions seems simple enough, I have a feeling there will be times where Naho second guesses herself and hesitates. We saw that a little in this episode, hopefully she can get over that or else it's going to lead to that future where Kakeru isn't with them anymore.

agreed. got really annoyed when she didnt listen to the very first thing her future self told her, which was to not invite him that day. that probably has a big impact on the plot considering he left school for 2 weeks

Holy shit at their faces. Why they so ugly?
A letter from herself?
A transfer student?
Her future self 10 years into the future?
The letter was right.
Of course she ignores what the letter says.
Kakeru didn't come to school.
Dat Engrish.
She falls in love with Kakeru? Dat letter is a bunch of fucking spoilers. Stop reading it...for my sake.
She finally decides to listen to the letter.
GRAND FUCKING SLAM!!!
Suwa has a kid in the future?
Naho is dead.

Ok start. Nice OP and ED songs. Every time they yell Kakeru, I keep wanting to say "Subete wo kakeru!"

I thought it was going to be a lot more enjoyable than what it has turned out to be but thats because I have really high expectations. The OP and ED are so nice and quite relaxing.

It was good to see Kakeru smile and the whole group together.


I thought it was very nice, and the ending music for episode 1 was so lovely nearly made my cry

There I was, thinking I'm so clever for realizing Kakeru was gonna die at some point...and then the show goes and kills my cleverness. Sigh.

But I'm interested. Probably gonna be some sad parts and I might cry at times.

Anyways, glad she pinch hit because I was legit just seconds away from being really upset at her and maybe dropping this show. lol

Damn, you can kind of already tell there's going to be some sad stuff coming along the way. Problem is that many times you can be "hyped up" for sad scenes and you expect the waterworks to come, but instead it just ends up not really hitting home for you. Don't really want to come in with high expectations and to be deeply emotionally moved when what we end up is just some cheap tugs at the heart. The vibe I'm getting is that this will definitely try to move you, and it may very well succeed, but I personally feel it's going to fall flat. I'll give it 3 episodes though, not that this one was bad, but I'm just not in the mood to be let down by a sub-par ending.

That was a good start, I liked all the characters almost immediately. And that ED is beautiful! Visuals are great too, I actually love the simple character designs. Does Kakeru really die......that would be heartbreaking. So many questions!!!!!

I also don’t think that it’s trying hard to be something it’s not, the overall tone & atmosphere is set up right for me & I feel like it’s pretty nuanced. I think I’ll like this one!

Idk about the first episode. The animation kinda threw me off (not a huge fan of it to be honest). But the story seems promising. I'm not sure whether to invest time in this anime or not. Does it get better?

Anyone else get a little irked when she let her friends invite him despite what the letter said? Not gonna lie, if I got a letter from someone claiming to be my future self I'd probably go 'pft, yeah right', but if I open that letter and they describe events the EXACT same way I'm thinking it in my head I'd probably flip my shit, assume whatever future me is asking me to do determines whether all of mankind lives or not, and follow those instructions whole heartedly! Though it does make sense that she didn't listen at first since no one could ever expect a letter from their future selves.

I take curry bun!

Their names are very hard to remember... and they seem kinda strange ;o

The OP match the art style perfectly, but I am not sure if I like it.
The style of drawing people are something different. Sometimes it is ugly, crooked, unnatural, but overall it is ok in its own style. Same goes for landscape, more like a painting than realistic.

The story.. it was kinda obvious from the first scene (which shouldn't been made) that he is dead, but later they even confirm it.. I think I seen anime like that already. Maybe it was anohana, but I don't remember well.
I wonder what this story will have good in it? I hope this is not another watch and forget anime.

This was a really great first episode. We dive right into the plot about how 16 year old Naho is getting letters from her 26 year old self from future and they describe exactly what's going to happen next giving the 16 year old Naho a chance to live a perfectly happy life without any regrets, must be nice, huh?

The sense of suspese and mystery is nice in this, first episode left me wanting for more. The premise is very interesting.

The OP is good, ED is fine.

The animation is good. THe characters feel a bit generic, like the typical high school friends group. Not like there'a anything wrong with that but still. Also I fee like Naho and Kakeru both look like the MCs from Ao Haru ride lol, the similarity is a bit too much.

Enjoyable episode overall. 4.5/5
