Anyway, both Tsukihime & Asatte no Hokou both come from different backgrounds, so its easily to say that it won't be following the same path of the bad adaptation of Tsukihime.

Count me too as another one who liked the Tsukihime anime. Which comes to mind, is there anyone who played the game that actually liked the anime? It was one of those anime in which it seems that the game players were more dissatisfied than non-gamers because of details missed out, just like Higurashi last season... but I digress.
For this though, the first episode didn't impress me as much as say, Kanon or Crescent Love. The show has potential though, since first impressions aren't always right (Zero no Tsukaima for example), and the plot twist at the end of the episode leads to a lot of interesting possiblities. Now the only question is if they'll fulfill those possiblilities; I guess we can only wait and see. That said, it's another score for Lunar to me. Their taste in anime really jives with mine, and so they're still my favorite group.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, so I wanted to inform those who are unfamiliar with kanji that the "kanou" (叶) that constitutes the first half of "Kanouchou" (叶町), the name of the town, means "grant" or "answer", as in "grant a wish" (negai wo kanaete/願いを叶えて). "Chou" (町) simply means "town".
Spoiler for episode 2:
Yes, I must watch it again. では、 アイスル未来 Last edited by AisuruMirai; 2006-10-14 at 12:45. Reason: I got the name of the town wrong the 1st time. It's not "Kanamachi". |

Well at least it looks like the thoughts about the show taking a dive are unfounded apparently...

I can totally relate to her, no wonder I liked the character rather than get angry for the bow remark like some bloggers did. Quote:
I've found this to be a common theme with anime. I wonder if it's just for story effect, or do the Japanese actually wait longer than North American's in such situations? |

Well, in a way I was right. I expected more than I got from the second episode. I usually don't mind slow pace but with the show being 12 (13?) episodes long it can be a problem.

The preview says she did not pray for what she got, if this was some stupid comedy I'd bet she had prayed Hiro would love her again and since he would secretly love lolies that would have been the reason for her turning into a child. Well, it's not a comedy, so I hope this shot in the dark is very, very wrong. Quote:

I loved the second episode. Less the transformation, the series so far has portrayed nothing but realistic character and plot development. Slow paced story-wise like I was hoping it to be (slower though than I expected it to be), but really a lot more than meets the eye. I am glad too then that the series didn't venture to make any outrageously comical bits that are all too potential when it comes to such a transformation. Instead, the focus here is on real character emotions and reactions, and for that, I am thankful.

When Karada put the bows in her hair and Shouko said they "looked really good... in a childish way." Twas a mean comment, but I see it more as a slip in her facade than an indicator of her being a bad person. I don't think she really knew what to do back in the first episode... why else would she agree to go to the beach with them? She was just going with the flow while she tried to figure out how to handle everything. Then the wish came along...
