2009.10.04 お知らせ 本日より、カナタ役:相川寿里さんのお名前が“金元寿子(かねもとひさこ)” に変わりました。 相川寿里改め金元寿子を、これからも応援よろしくお願いいたします! As from the 4th of October, Juri Aikawa becomes Hisako Kanemoto. It doesn't explain why however. To prevent any problem with the other Juri Aikawa maybe?

The first episode kind of gives me a Haibane Renmei vibes but with Yoshino Hiroyuki's usual stuffs. I still don't like how they dropped Kishida Mel design and went K-on route, but oh well. Looking forward to the next episode.

Still waiting for subs, already know that the white-haired girl is going to be my favorite character. Although I really hope there will be some war going on, and not a story about chicks guarding some fort, waiting to be sent out which will never happen.
Really, I don't mind it for a while, as long as it ain't the only stuff happening. |

Really enjoyed the 1st episode. That Kalafina song is completely addictive and set a perfect mood for watching the show.
Spoiler for Some thoughts about ep 1:
That put aside, this episode was exactly how I thought it would be. With a higher production value than what I expected : the valley, town, sky... everything looks gorgeous and drag you to Seize. 9/10!

I love the opening song. Light and nice. I really love the backgrounds and animation. It does have ARIA/Haibane Renmei feel to it. The manga and anime are pretty different in the way they approached the first episode (yes, I know the manga is not an original, but something created to go along with the series).
The ED is...uh...interesting. Not what I expected at all. |

Great music. Great art. And the heartwarming story.
I’m satisfied with the first episode. I guess the culture of Helvetia is European-Japanese mixture. The Japanese card game, lotte can, some Kanji letters on Kanata’s stamp, Shishimai, and the Japanese girl names (Kanata, Rio and Kureha). I laughed at Felicia’s trick and Kanata’s trumpet. |

Well, this anime certainly sells itself well:
- scenery porn (I love the framing) - godly music - an interesting world - a wonderful cast of characters There's the moe element but it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the first episode. This series feels like a keeper. Also >Girl >Traveling alone Looks like I'll have to wait for Summer Comiket ;_; |

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the second episode already. I wish I read the novels first, but I can't find them at the moment. The story and setting is pretty good as well and is starting to draw me into it. |

Well that was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish!
Nice way to kick off the season although like Scyth I'm hoping theres going to be some fighting going on in one form or another...I could have let that expectation slide if they hadn't shown off that luscious tank twice just sitting there practically begging to be taken out for a spin.
