Preliminary (19/24 eps)
Damn the current description on MAL really sucks. Can someone accept my translation of the official synopsis that I submitted a few days ago? Because I feel like with that description, being what many people see before they watch the show, really screws up people's expectations on it.

So, the premise of this story is that a friend (Sumire here on) of our protagonist(s) (Kei and Haruki) has set up a mystery, and they are going to figure it out because that friend killed herself, and solving that mystery eventually (sort of) resurrects her. NOT "guy uses superpower to overthrow the authority in a town of superpowers", or "club solves problems issued by the authority"!

First three episodes are focused on setting things up, showing the world to the viewer, and establishing a reason to care about Sumire's death in ep3. The rest of the first half is where some seemingly random things happen, and they end up having a chance to sort of resurrect Sumire.

Second half explores what Sumire's plan actually was, and more and more things clear up about her, and probably Kei's past as well.

The story requires people to have enough interest to stay until they realize Sumire is able to see the future and munipulate it to some point. And that everyone apart from Kei and Haruki has vivid emotions.

The animation is at times quite dull though. Really, there are a few 5+ second still frames of just, say, Kei's face. Sure that shot is still, but they could've at least added a bloody blink or a bit of wind or even a slight camera movement.

Overall. in my opinion, music is nice, story is great and would be agreed if it wasn't a weekly show, characters are interesting if you're willing to think a bit, and I enjoy it a lot.
