I LOVED it!!!! It’s just pure straight yuri!! No subtext at all. This is a very nice change!!
Things that caught my attention:
- Fumi-chan’s voice is not quite what I expected but then it kind of grows on you. Thinking more carefully, a voice is hard to imagine as she was so soft and spoke relatively little!! Haha
- Ah-chan on the other hand pretty much sounds as expected. Her voice reminds me of Rie Kugimiya ~ the high pitch type ones!!
- Art was very appropriate for the anime : adding to it the hints of melancholy.
- The general vibe!!!!! The whole Episode was bursting out with dashes of love, yuri and KYAAAaa moments!
- The MUSIC!!!! Naturally makes you go *squeal*!! I have a soft spot for the piano and this kind of music!
Some cute moments:
- Fumi used to be shorter than Ah-han so that was cute!
- When the girls realize who the other is and Fumi blushes!! Aaaaw!!
- “You’re flat.” hehehehe
Basically this anime is right up my alley!! I’m enjoying it more than I expected. Fumi x Ah-chan seems to have a lot more tension and potential in the rel’ship compared to the manga!!! I hope this continues to be great!!

Indeed, the first episode was quite good and featured many cute moments :) The girls were very cute as kids :) Ah-chan has a fun >:) expression hehe
Yes, Fumi’s voice was somewhat unexpected, but I got used to it :)
I posted a picture gallery and review of the first episode, but still thinking if I should blog the rest of the series.

Yeah, Aoi hana is really good. So cute! >.<
It feels to me like its categorized inbetween strawberry panic (like the op, open yuri-ness….and the op -nose bleed-) but has all the pure-ish nice soft "otome" feel to it like marimite.

I have to agree with your strange analogy sakudesu!! It’s kind of a perfect way of describing it in an odd way! hahaha What am I saying?! I wish there were more of these anime around!
Kitsune! See how the anime goes and then decide! It’s too early to tell. Chances are, I’ll be blogging about every episode. :P
Thanks for the link otakuBLAZE!

Well, no more words to describe my feelings about this other than it being my cup of tea.
Some people pissed me off though, like how they can’t appreciate this episode at all and talking crap about it, like how it’s “boring” “yuri!?” its like wow, are they blind or just seriously don’t know what good animation and story mean eh? tsk tsk. :x

Miko!! Where the heck did you read that?!! BORING?? Are you KIDDING ME!! To me it’s almost scores a perfect 10! But I never give 10s cos there’s always space to improve! :P Those people need a good whack on the head…

Loved the first episode, it was really great, hope it keeps up this way and that we get a Fumi x Akira ending. ^^
