Here is a summary from here.

The story is set one autumn at the beginning of the 21st century in the Uchihama area. Uchihama Academy is growing by leaps and bounds. With the construction of a new school building, there will be one last General Club Festival at the old building that is slated to be closed. The students vow to go all out to make this final cultural festival a success.

The Astronomy Club of the protagonist Sou Akiyama is filled with the big names on campus. Just before the festival on October 1, the club receives a request from the student executive committee to calm the uneasiness among the students. There are reports of ghost sightings, accidents, sleeping sickness, and other mysterious incidents at the old building. When Yui Furukawa, a quiet girl who transfered late into the school, appears before Sou, the gears of fate slowly begin to move.

Am kinda curious, I'll admit....

Character & Voice Actor(s)

Spoiler for Episode 1:

It's too bad that AT-X airs it censored but I did expect nudity to be featured on Blu-ray nonetheless. The first episode was alright, I can see how it foreshadows at least some drama. Character designs looks like a less inconsistent version of Gaworare but still suffers bad animation errors nonetheless. The animation wasn't as bad as I expected, however it feels pretty sloppy overall. The protagonist had a rather boring personality, but he's not a stupid little kid, the girls have rather stereotypical traits, I particularly wished the writers of the anime would handle them well. My biggest complain concern about the ending: there's a scene involving Kaori gets hit by a truck and the remaining members crying over her while she's in a coma and then the next day she's alright without telling anything about her healed injury and then the MC meets the naked girl from the future as foreshadowed by episode 1 which results from time loop? It's the weirdest scene transition I've seen this season, couldn't the creators just add at least some explanation to come just before the last moment or something?

Even with that sudden strange moment, it still retains strong chances of ending up decent but I really hoped AT-X airs it uncensored as feel.'s previous eroge adaptation (Yosuga no Sora) was a pleasant surprise in both story and characters. Maybe I could look up nudity content once the Blu-ray comes out, but it still leaves my impressions pretty mixed.

Spoiler for episode 1:

Actually, I think this is a time loop thing. She died, then time reset itself to the point where they decided to make it the best festival, and that's when the girl appeared. It's a time loop, as I interpret it, hence the importance of the dates appearing large on screen.
Second time, the cube glowed just before the girl arrived.

OK, I'm intrigued. But I will be disappointed if Kenny does not get killed at any point.

Ugh.....the art and animation are so bad for today standard.....however, the characters are likeable, I can watch this just to see Airi. The story is umm...a bit interesting? I guess I will follow it for now.

Spoiler for Ep.1:

I think what you say is possible. They also focus on the clock often. The time is always around 16.xx.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep1:

Kimi ga Nozom........... *cough**cough*
Other than that, I realized when I saw Senpai, but this is the game with that artist, don't remember the name, but when you search for feet pics, you always see this game's artwork. Love the (game's) art style, but of course, the anime can't really imitate the touch.
(Rather, it looks a bit... CG-ish?)

Ah I see.

I finally understand as today I didn't take time long to think that the whole time travel plot is actually playing part in the series' title. I believe it's better for me to check summaries of what to expect the show elsewhere, I'm gonna watch more episodes if that might help.

AT-X version is not just censored they cut nude scene.

Here are screns from uncensored stream

Dang, it has been so long since I saw a link to that site. I wouldn't suggest using that site for information, putting long story short. There are probably other sites with the same info, without a history of faking news and all of that stuff.

[bastek66]

I'm surprised they didn't censor pantyshots

[AntonKutovoi]

I kinda wish MC would be voiced by Sugita.

#1

Spoiler for plot:

Basic school life & astronomy club.
The usual bickering between clubs..
Some love/crush problems.
Tragedy & mystery encounter.
Basically it's OK.
Still lacks that certain something to get me interested.
Skipping it.

[Stark700]

I haven't played the VN before but hopefully the series will explain itself well, in particular the ending of the first episode...

Animation is pretty mediocre so far. Not impressed by it.

[Flower]

Ep 01

Well, the animation is not stellar, but that does not bother me much. I have not played the game, and just looking at the art from it I already knew the two were going to be different. So for me the issue is the story.

And that has plenty of elements that are pretty normal and straightforward as far as that goes. From what I understand there are other twists coming along, which I will be happy to wait for - like the bus accident.

At the moment the main drawback is the dense male lead ... I am glad Kaori beat him over the head with a club, so to speak, and spelled it out for him in as plain a manner as possible. A pleasant change as far as that goes.

The ending was interesting as it looked like a "time reboot" of sorts that took place to prevent Kaori's death? Or something like that. Also hopefully next ep will have a "normal" OP and ED.

I think I will tentatively commit to this one for now....

[Tenzen12]

Pretty good first episode. Even though I can't realy wish Kaori luck in metter of shipping, she was quite boss confessing. I will probably not be content with conclusion, but I will enjoy ride how much it will be possible.

[novalysis]

What did I just watch? Did they just killed off the childhood friend in the first episode straight after a confession? Is it a bad end to reflect the bad ends VN have? Was reality overwritten and the scenario set back to a checkpoint? How was it done? There were death flags that were circling around Kaori throughout this episode, but I never expected that ending until seconds into that accident scene. And there's that strange cube right at the very second to last scene that the Sempai had -does it have some connection to the reset? Is everyone actually dead, but they don't know it yet?

The first episode has me convinced that this anime is worthy of a place on my watch list this season. The characters were crisp and likable, the character interactions entertaining. And the twist this episode was brilliantly set up, and the very fact that it made be felt for Kaori's death in a single episode is testimony to the skill at which the characters were presented to the audience. Well done.

[HandofFate]

animation and character designs remind me of Angel Beats

[Mitcher]

Pretty good first episode indeed. The pacing was good, the characters were decent, and the story seems to be quite interesting. Also, Kaori's confession was cute.

As for the animation, don't really have a problem with it, but it was... well, weird?.

Anyway, I'll probably read the VN soon to understand things better, because the accident and what happened after that truly got my attention.

Looking forward to next episode.

[HandofFate]

wow, that ending surprised me.
Its like that other VN with a similar setting.

I feel that this was a crying VN.
