HNNNNG HNNNNNNNNG HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
What did I know beforehand?
All I really knew was everything in Arkada's review, and that he really enjoyed it. I went into it expecting to like it.
What are the plusses?
Goodness. I need to rave here.
The animation is BEAUTIFUL. It flowed so smoothly, and was incredibly pleasing to the eye... I loved it.
The opener was AMAZING. Great animation, great music...but what also shocked me was the CLOSER. Pretty good animation, but great music, too.
I don't usually point out anything with voice acting, but even watching it subbed, the Japanese voice actors were SO good, it sounded the way a normal person would talk.
And the characters themselves! I have to give my hats off to the translators (FUNimation), because they really did bring the vocabulary into the characters, giving them a distinct feel IN THE FIRST EPISODE.
And the story premises? Put away your Dr. Who, time for a real time travel story here. The kind that just might BLOW YOUR MIND.
What are the minuses?
Er....um... I didn't notice the background music that much. That's not really a negative, more like a "meh", but that's it. The only possible minus. DANG THIS IS GOOD
Story: 9.5
Characters: 9.7
Animation: 9.6
Music: 8.3
Overall: 9.28
Needless, to say, I loved it.
PS:
Okay, the main character is hot, in that he's-so-weird-you-can't-help-but-be-attracted-to-him way. GOSH main character first impression crushes better not be a regular thing.
