Sakura’s wife material, Hori’s jealous, and Sengoku/Remi are banished to the baby corner.
A good first episode. Mostly set up but it’s an interesting setting with a lot of fun directorial choices and a Narita-esque sense of feeling off-kilter. Looking forward to see where this journey takes us.
A really good start to the series. It’s dark enough so that the eventual light to come is clear by contrast, yet not too dark to feel overwhelming. The presentation is great, particularly in the silent montage as Miyo leaves home. Reina Ueda is giving one of her best performances as a beaten-down woman who still has the possibility for life and love. I was looking forward to this series and I think my expectations will be well rewarded.
Solid episode, banger OP.
The ultimate version of prolonged eye contact.
For myself:
Nao Touyama (Karen in Kiniro Mosaic, Rin in Yuru Camp, Sakura in Koisuru Asteroid) Inori Minase (Chino in Gochiusa, Aries in Kanata no Astra, Chito in Girls Last Tour) Ayane Sakura (Cocoa in Gochiusa, Rei in Do It Yourself) Saori Hayami (Yor in Spy x Family, Yuzuki in Yorimoi, Yunhua in Kanata no Astra) Kaede Hondo (Maple in Bofuri, Laika in Slime Taoshite, Hikari in Demi-chan)
Kickass fight and Mari introduction makes for a good episode.
