I was grinning like an idiot as I watched the opening.
As it turns out, the video structure is the opposite of what I expected it to be.
(Isn’t that first bit way too obvious, though? Do they not mind Anime-only viewers knowing that much already?)
I’m not sure how to feel about the pacing. It seems awfully fast, but on the other hand, they did show what needed to be shown. I guess I’ll just have to see how the next episode plays out…
I hope they’re not done showing Kotarou’s reasons for… everything he does. My favorite Yoshino corridor scene would really show how serious a matter it is, but it doesn’t seem like they’ll bother animating that one.
Speaking of reasons: “I hope I can become a somebody.” This line didn’t seem to be a more of a flashback than an actual thought. I don’t quite remember where it originated from…
So, how many common route episodes will we get until the Kagari route begins? The pacing suggests it could start as soon as next episode. However, in this episode, the Kagari parts were the only supernatural ones. The opening, too, is mostly focused on the common route, so a half - half distribution doesn’t seem out of the question just yet. I’m torn between wanting to see as many common route scenes as possible and expecting the new parts to not be rushed.
Haaah. I’m already worring way more than I intended to back when the anime was announced…
