Solid episode, banger OP.
I like the modern/future-ish kinda fantasy setting. I guess that tends to be a relatively common JRPG setting,… also Shadowrun (except Shadowrun is more cyberpunk). Was kinda half-hoping the fantasy setting meant we’d get acoustic instrumental backing tracks, but this works too. I wonder if Yoko Hikasa being Laelaps means Laelaps gets to sing too [Sunshine S2]

also, guess that dog name got ported over from the original series
.
Super excited to see Aqours back on screen!
The first episode feels a bit slow, but it looks like it’s setting up for an interesting journey. I still have no idea what the rest of the show is going to be like. This episode was all Yoshiko (and a bit of Maru), and I can’t wait for everyone else to get more screen time.
Glad that they’re doing insert songs (it’s Love Live so of course they are). “Far far away” is pretty good, looking forward to seeing what’s next.
