The more I watch the OP, the more I theorize about little things I notice...

Spoiler for Thoughts:

Kotori is really interesting. She was already so likable in the demo that I didn't think she would have another side to her. Her table in the forest is supported by a root coming out of the ground, which could be the work of those little fairies flying around her. Since the beginning, her hairstyle and amazing affinity for the forest made me think of a dryad, but I kind of hope that she's an ordinary girl who loves the forest so much that she ends up befriending fairies (yeah, I really doubt it'll be that simple).

Kagari seems to have a lot of potential. She's definitely some kind of enigma.

I keep thinking of Night Wizard when I see this OP. For those unfamiliar with it, in Night Wizard, a goth loli recruits a handful of high school students to protect the world by magically fighting in a parallel universe, and the villain is an even more goth loli who is related to the other one, and there's moon symbolism.

...The Night Wizard parallels and tons of other things make me feel worried I've guessed important plot points. x.x

This really raised my expectations (yeah, I know I'm not the only one). I loved the characterization and characters from the trial, and now I've confirmed some serious physical conflict (I think Mai from Kanon was the most serious before this) that I hope will keep me at the edge of my seat. What the nakige aspect will be like is still something I wonder about, though.
