Wow, hell of an opening. Lets see if they can keep it up what with this being an original work and all. Anyways yea I watched it, although it's kinda hard to keep up with raw. I'll stick with it if only for the fact that it's real unique. FANTASTIC ART DIRECTION, feels like I am back at home (DC area native) but seriously some silly stuff happened. Spoiler for first ep wierdness:

Nowhere, as far as I can tell. I SUSPECT it's been translated from something, but I can't work out what.
There's a line of Shakespeare shoved in there, which is the motto of Juiz, the one about remorse. Plus a few terms specific to the show, like Mr Outside. Quote:

That is directional decision. They show Japanese characters speaking Japanese, but in reality they are speaking English. I think it’s done so in order to build up the atmosphere while still allowing Japanese viewers understand what’s going on with their limited English language skills (and reward those that understand both languages.)

Deconstructing the ED:
She rises from the ground as the main actor. She is a solid. She runs through the streets of a city. Missiles approach said city and fly overhead. Missiles impact buildings, create destruction, explosions. The girl is standing in the blast radius of the explosions, and is blown away by them. The explosions leave a crater in the topography of the city. From the crater, a cellphone emerges, opens. Cellphone is taken by a newly formed hand, that rises from the ground. The one holding the cellphone is him, he is now a solid. He runs through the city. He arrives at a leveled portion, and helps the girl up. The girl however, is a shadow, a cutout, an outline, not a solid. More missiles are propelling through the sky, their destination seems to be the cutout girl and the solid boy. The boy uses his hand shaped as a gun to shoot the missiles down while the girl is in the background (she has no choice, she's a cutout). With a remaining missile on the way, as the girl and the boy hold hands, they are united as the papers level (he seems to "enter" the part that is hollowed, which is her outline). WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!?!?!? |

Short blog post with pics about Kamiyama Kenji (director) and Umino Chika (character designer, mangaka of Honey & Clover) watching the first episode being aired.
The radio show -- with Hayami Saori (Saki) and Kimura Ryouhei (Akira) -- is now on-line. But either the traffic is too heavy or they're blocking us outside Japan, since I haven't been able to get through in hours. Reaction to the radio show in the Hayami Saori thread on 2channel is worshipful. She is apparently called "Hayami Onee-san" ("big-sister Hayami") on the show. She is 17 and Kimura is 24. But she is a bit of an ojou-sama.
