Okay, I seriously LOVE that ED theme song!

Dr. Casey · 2011-04-14, 14:07

why's nobody talking about AnoHana, didn't this air like four hours ago

Hope this is a two-cour series, it looks really good and stories with this many main characters (5-6, looks like) can really benefit from being longer than just the usual 12 or 13 episodes.

FireChick · 2011-04-14, 14:47

I would, but I don't see any RAWs around yet (though I'm eagerly wanting to watch it), let alone subs.

It's a NoitaminA show, so it will most likely have 1 cour of 11 episodes. The only NoitaminA anime that had 2 cours in the years have been Honey & Clover (2005), Nodame Cantabile (2007) and Shiki (2010).

Adding onto that, two shows have already been confirmed for the summer season (Usagi/Bunny Drop and No. 6) so it's only going to be 11 episodes. And as Firechick says, you find us subs, we'll watch them and talk about it.

Dr. Casey · 2011-04-14, 17:09

Eh, I wasn't bitching about the thread's quietness. I was just confused.

Yeah, I'll just wait for the subs then... I'm curious to see what the opening's like. It will be hard for the opening to outdo the ending though, that was a great song.

InternHertz · 2011-04-14, 17:33

Wow that first episode was amazing.
Best surprise this season so far...good job A-1.

applejuice · 2011-04-14, 18:05

You know what? I think this might save the noitaminA from the chain of bombing...

applejuice · 2011-04-14, 21:02

^ Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Seeing the preorder ranking, this season's haken (hegemony) will be the hard fight between Steins;Gate, Ano-hana and Nichijou. (Tiger & Bunny is iono due to insane fujoushi involvement.)

Although all three cannot beat Madoka Magica anyway, lol.

~~Pocari_Sweat~~ · 2011-04-14, 21:17

Highly anticipating this show. A blog that I rate in high regard gave it a 90% rating. Looks like Mari Okada is on fire this season with this and Hanasaku Iroha.

Kakkou · 2011-04-14, 21:45

Another solid show that started well. I was pretty hyped up for this and it met my expectations so far. Man this season is really brimming with good shows.

I really can't stop listening to the ED despite having looped the original so many times before the show premiered.

...by crossing over into territory that is at least partly occupied by otaku. So many great noitaminA shows (House of Five Leaves, in particular, my favorite show of last year) bomb because they are not aimed at any Japanese audience's sweet spot. This might just hit enough of one to succeed.

Nice first episode. Story well set up. Nice work by Irino Miyu (so what else is new?) and by Tomatsu Haruka. And I'm closer to accepting Kayano Ai's extreme little voice than I was from the trailer.

I enjoyed both the OP and ED.

Spoiler for ep1:

LusterFlare · 2011-04-15, 01:04

Solid first episode. Really tugs at your heartstrings, especially when that ED song rolled D:

One of my more anticipated shows this season. Unfortunately, it seems like this is one of those good shows that fly under the radar.

OceanBlue · 2011-04-15, 01:18

It's probably quiet because subs just came out.

It was a really, really good first episode. I was really surprised, since I thought Hanairo would be my favorite of the season, but this started out stronger than Hanairo. I have to agree with what serenade_beta and LusterFlare said. They took everything I wanted to say.

This is one amazing season.

Raiga · 2011-04-15, 01:18

A great first episode. ^^ Looks like lots of drama's been set up already, but it looks like lots of heartwarming is in store, too. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Reckoner · 2011-04-15, 01:27

This anime was highly anticipated, and it didn't let me down!

Seriously, Ano Hana just upstaged Hanu-Saku Iroha.

Very emotional first episode. I don't usually get so emotionally into a show so fast. Okada outdoing herself this season. I really am interested in where we're going with this show.

DragoonKain3 · 2011-04-15, 02:19

First episode just confirms it; undoubtedly this is my #1 show of the season. A notch below in visual as Hanasaku Iroha, about the same depth, but the first episode had twice the impact then both episodes of HI combined IMO.

Oh yeah, can't forget about having three times the moe as well for me, but that's neither here nor there...

winkel · 2011-04-15, 02:21

The show of the season right here, a worthy continuation of the NoitamA slot. After Horou Musuko, I was excited to see what's next, but I wasn't expecting anything like this... beautiful and touching, all within the span of the first episode.

OceanBlue · 2011-04-15, 02:22

I just realized...

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: Quiet thread, indeed. It is quite a shame too, since the quality of this episode was far better than any of those template moe anime out there. A sad thing indeed, but well, it doesn't change the quality of the anime (usually) and I'll still be able to enjoy it. Most emotional first episode this season. I was just so throughout the entire thing, but of course, in a good meaning. The OP itself kind of spoiled everything (Girl is ghost, group gets separated, group begins to gather again after many years past), but that didn't change the impact of the story. Also, the characters so far feel so... flesh-y...? Real? Anyways, something good! There were so many anime today, I thought about actually skipping this show, but it turns out this one is one of the best today! Wow! What was Yamakan about, huh? PS: Dang, using Anjo(?)'s nickname is just so funny for some reason. PPS: When will Poppo evolve into Pigeon? __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.

Either that, or she gets resurrected or something [which I don't think will happen]. Either way, I think this anime is going to make me cry by the end.
