It all started with five "close" friends from childhood who often hangs out, and stuff like that (the normal squad stuff). It all changed when Okikura "David" Kakeru came in town claiming that he saw the same thing as Fukami Touko, our MC, during the fireworks festival from the start. And starting from there, the group started going separate ways and don't seem to be as close as they were before.
My opinion in this is this: if their friendship is that easy to break, then were they even close in the first place?
Moving on to the characters, the MC Touko is... well... I would say shallow. She actually fell for David after she only met him. Or maybe it was because they possess the same abilities? Or maybe because she saw the "future"? I wouldn't know, but it does happen in real life.
She has this ability to see the future (I don't know if what she can see is future though, but for this review's sake, let's just say that she can see the future), it is triggered whenever she looks at reflective, shiny things (namely, glass).
In general, she is this string who holds the group together and the group fell apart because her, being the string, was taken by David, who she spent most of her time with.
David is quite a stoic and serious boy, at times he can be blunt and straightforward. He is also perceptive but is insensitive to people's feelings, so he ends up saying too much and whatnot. David has two other alternate egos, to whom he talks to about his problems. He hops from place to place because of his Mom's job, he happened to be in this town and saw the same thing Touko did, which intrigued him.
He has the ability to hear the future, it occurs whenever he hears his mother's classical music.
There's Imi Yukinari who liked Touko, a runner from the track team, and his step-sister, Takayama Yanagi, who liked Yuki. At first, it confused me as to why they were living together, and I had to look up that they were actually step-siblings, they should really explain that one from the start geez. I still wonder why they have different surnames though. Anyway, Yuki is the guy who is almost always seen with a scowl, he is also jealous of David at the beginning. Yana is the pretty one, although I sometimes get the bitter vibe from her.
I'll go over to Nagamiya Sachi, a frail bookworm who may or may not have romantic feelings for Touko, and Shirosaki Hiro, who is in love with Sachi. I actually find him sweet. Well, Sachi harbors feeling of hatred towards David for being the reason their group falls apart. But I'm glad that Sachi is gradually falling for Hiro, so it's all good.
The art and music is amazing and the effects are almost flawless. The art is what I see as the strong part of this anime. I like the frozen frames in each episode (the ones when it pauses and portrays the scene as an amazing drawing). The ending of ep 13 which showed all the frozen frames is very enjoyable.
On the whole, this anime is not so good, the plot is all over the place, and there are a lot of things that are left unexplained. Personally, there are scenes that just made my eyes roll, and there are also scenes where I was like "What just happened?". I do recommend it if you like good art, because the art is just fantastic.
