A decent first start to say at least.
Spoiler
for
saving space,
:
While I’m not a hardcore Yuri fan as such this series did came as a surprise, the synopsis talk about a tale of lost memories, through the ages the girls are reunite only that their first encounter is approach with neither our leads having recollection of each other. The subtleness of their encounter is voided of cliché or at least from my perspective took this approached more realistically.
When looking at new series analytically, music is one of the many factors which I tend to focus on. The series sets itself more tranquil and quiet in nature. This of course translates into usage of soft orchestrate scores in more eventful scenes. The OP animation left something more to be desire but as plain (animation wise) of seeing our leads through a metaphoric view of growth, the dancing embedded bonding which is rather appropriate for such a series. ED animation/song consist of water colour arts accompany by soothing vocal whether or not intentional both the OP/ED emphasis simplicity.
Animation wise it is what you would expect from J.C staff, there isn’t much to say in this area as their animation comes off more traditional in a sense one can expect similar art in the future for similar series lin this genre like Asatte no Houkou or HnC.
The fact that the series emphasis the Yuri aspect bluntly is rather pleasing which more than I can say about KnM. With Fumi and her tendency to cry I can imagine her tears become a catalyst for lots of yuri-licious scene. In spite of what the series offers I found the pacing slow to my liking but this much is expected from a first episode. I envision the latter part of the series progressing with drama and angst coupled with jealous to run prominent but maybe that is just me being wishful as ideally I can see it more akin to slice-of-life filled with characterization.
