Though, of course, it's just the first episode - so chances are that I'm just seeing it and it's not there.

WE ARE ALL LUSTING FOR OUR RELATIVES. LOL. (Well, he's right in a sense that one may be lusting for his wife ... but ... )
With the infinitesimal knowledge I have of psychology I still think that Freud wasn't right all the way ... he was, after all (and this may be a flawed argument, but I don't care) afraid of ferns. Yep. But aside from that, new researches on the mind and psyche of the human being are overturning his insights on the thoughts of man; it still is a force to be reckoned with, however. It would destroy the show if the brother had a siscon ... OMG PLEASE NO.

I just realized that Hiro (the big brother) is played by Satoshi Hino, who was Yuuji in Shakugan no Shana and Saitou in Zero no Tsukaima. Itou Shizuka, who plays Shouko so well, was Rei in Marimite and Iori in I"s Pure. She is in four (!) of the new series this fall: Happiness (as Saya), Yoake-mae yori Ruri-iro na Crescent Love (as Wreathlit Noel), and Pumpkin Scissors (as Alice), as well as this one. She's 25.

And I agree with the rest, I have my worries after the twist, but hope it'll end in the best. Also, I don't mind if the two siblings end together. *waves incest flags* Especially since what Guardian Enzo said about the complex is true. Now she's older than the possible romantice interest Amino, that'll leave us with the brother... kekeke.

a. Karada is short for her age b. Amino's tall for his age to the point that he could be mistaken as a high-school student (this was discussed in the first episode) (Oops, I left the window open too long and a lot of people answered his question while I had forgotten to send the post. Sorry >_>) At least older Karada doesn't look like a middle-school student unlike Hagu. By the way, I forgot to mention this earlier, but when I first saw Karada's charater design it felt very Ikuko Ito-ish because the colour design and the hairband immediately brought me back to Ahiru from Princess Tutu.

You make a good point. I want to add that mangaka & anime writers simply don't believe in or don't know about the Westermarck effect. Otherwise the osananajimi (childhood friend) romance--the cheapest, most idiotic, most overdone cliche in all of anime (maybe)-- wouldn't be the driving force that it is in so many storylines. I was wondering just yesterday, while thinking about the many-headed beast that is Kanon, why it's so prevalent, why the anime & game industries, & the men to whom it caters (& others, of course), are so keen on associating the innocence & simplicity of childrens' sentiments w/ romance & sexuality. Based on the sensitivity of the writing in the first episode, I sort of doubt that it will be an issue w/ Asatte no Houkou--I hope like hell--but then again, the manga is featured in a seinen (young men's) publication. I've gotta stop right now before I get angry... *grumble, grumble* アイスル未来 |

Haha, the "Hagu-case". I like that... this little girl is going to become a celebrity.

And now I know why the background art reminds me of Simoun - apparently the art director is the same. I so can't wait for the second episode, it will be quite dilemma whther to watch the raw or not but I will probably be unable to resist the temptation.

In order to check if my own calendar was right (it was), I looked at the Shoboi Calendar page for Asatte and the official site's broadcast times page. MoonPhase says 25:55 Thursday (i.e., 1:55 am Friday) but the starting time actually jumps around a bit on TBS, within a fifteen-minute span. I'm wondering if this is what happens to so-called "minor" shows. Must make setting your PVR a trial.

Anyone else out there like the character design for adult Shouko? It's too bad she has to be in kid form for some of the time. I think they did a pretty good job with all the female characters actually, though I don't like how different in age Karada and Tetsuya look. No more Hagu's, please. |

But as for Hagu, I am among the few who actively liked how she was designed. Besides the moe factor, it was also outward demonstration of inner nature, and allowed her to visibly grow over the series (and the manga). Karada is no doubt also made young partly to make her look cute, but I think the story will make use of the contrast in some way. Does the name "Karada" sound odd in Japanese? I mean, it is a homophone for a word for "body."

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it more I bet that's exactly what'll happen: 2 triangles, Karada-Shouko-Hiro and Karada-Shouko-Tetsuya. Good enough, I guess, but I hope I'm wrong and they do something more interesting than that. Quote:
