| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A Mirai Project huh? Interesting. This was only 25 minutes but whatever. >Baka, baka, baka, baka, baka If anything, the MC has his own little world that he wonders thinks about. The short anime also includes some references to anime and manga. Not too shabby I guess and it has decent feelings to it with an imaginative delivery. I also really like how some of the moments of the animation was played out. Brave Mirai~ |

| Having a sense of hearing notes perfectly when hearing a music for the first time. So she made it? He can imagine the world that she saw that people all think she's weird. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Ever since I saw the page of Harmonie, I anticipated it greatly, since the director created Eve no Jikan which was very successful, and it looked like it's going to be my kind of story. That was definitely amazing. From the great directing, to the Hataraku Maou Sama character designs, to the theme of the song and the dream about the different world, it kept me intrigued the whole time it lasted. My only gripe that it was only 25 minutes, if it was a full series/movie it could have expanded on the story much more. If there will be a sequel of this, or even better, an expanded version/movie/TV series, I'll definitely watch it. 9/10. |
 |
| That was really interesting. There were a few philosophical themes I missed so I will rewatch this later. Will leave at 8/10 Really enjoyed the music theme (even though he said F# when it was actually a G#) |
| Wow, this short film turned out to be quite interesting That was a really beautiful track at the ending scene displaying it with the dream I want a long version of this ;_______; |
| Sakasama no Patema poster spotted in the MC's room :D As usual, wonderful directing from Yoshiura Yasuhiro. The dream and the song gave me that same sad feeling as Aoi Tamago from Pale Cocoon. Beautiful, intriguing, and melancholy. Like mayukachan said, I probably need to watch this more than once to get the full meaning. I really enjoyed this though, especially how Yoshiura portrays the characters and character interactions. Juri was interesting because you could really see how awkward she is, such as the part when the MC was asking her about the audio. And also in the end, how the MC ended up making Juri feel that she wasn't alone (for having that dream that deemed her weird by others), even though the MC didn't actually have that dream and it was all an misunderstanding since he regurgitated what he heard in the second audio by accident. |
| Not bad. Some of the camera angles used in the first classroom scene were pretty cool. I don't really understand Juri's dream, though; is there a point? In addition to the dream itself, Yuri's mental trauma was presented almost arbitrarily. |

| I really love this short film ^^ I wished there was a longer version of this. |
| I loved the animation. I would rewatch the ending or the dream sequence again and again without getting tired of it, it went really well with the feel of the song. And I think I like every character voiced by Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, he's such a good seiyuu. And was I supposed to laugh with the two otaku said "yosh" when the girl rejected the popular guy (I like his character design btw)? I loved that scene XD Good decision, main lead! I would have lied at the end like he did. |
| Eeeeeh. This type of anime is totally my cup of tea, but I was seriously let down when he discovered the second track. This means that the premise of their possible relationship is false. If this were continued, that could be a particular drama point for the couple, but perhaps the MC could pull through with her by forming an even greater understanding of "her world" with his "talent" rather than being spoon-fed the data by an ipod. I suppose they could accomplish this by having her sing a second song or somesuch, and he being able to imagine the related story of it on his own. That said, the anime's story in itself was kind of BS to me, given that he's essentially no more connected with her than her so-called '(not-)boyfriend.' But at least he likes her dream and doesn't think she's weird. The animation was great, and as a reviewer has already mentioned, it has a lot of potential. I hope it does get a continuation, which is not impossible, given that another 'young animator' project supposedly will (Little Witch Acedemia). |
| Could've used a lot more screentime, but the concept was really good. 6/10 |
 |
| I liked it, but I kind of expected more from Yoshiura. Direction was good as usual, but I feel the dream sequence would have been much more dramatically effective if it was only shown fully during the credits. There really isn't much to draw from this, any more than what was explicitly stated in the anime itself. At most, a parallel could be drawn between her dream and her school setting, which her being around a group of "fake" friends, ostracizing the less socially adept classmates. Then again, you don't know enough about any of their classmates to reach much of a conclusion to establish that comparison. All in all, it's a nice and basic romance story about embracing your true self and finding that certain connection with someone. The song was a great complement. |
| I actually really enjoyed this. I just wish it could have been a full length movie or series. |
| Wow that song was amazing O__O That dream sequence was beautiful too. Were we ever dating? That was so satisfying. I was like HECK YEAH~! I did a virtual fist bump with Honjo's friends. MissileSoup said: At most, a parallel could be drawn between her dream and her school setting, which her being around a group of "fake" friends, ostracizing the less socially adept classmates. That's what I got from it too. The dolls standing in the sun were obviously her fake friends and everyone else who were just going with the flow and tries to fit in (as symbolized by the dolls walking in line). The real people hiding in the dark were basically those not in the "in" crowd, social outcasts who have their own worlds. It's kind of hard to connect it to the Juri who had this dream as a child though. It would have been easier to understand if it was the teen Juri's dream. Ahhh I want a full length more or series for this. Too good for a short >__< |

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Aiyaa, drama in the classroom. XD "Were we ever dating?" burnnn. I would actually prefer a series on the dream she has. I like the setting; tragic romance with a flare of fantasy. ^^ |
| Fluid animation even if it didn't particularly stood out but I think it works that more as it had more realistic approach. Makina is charming. Really liked the dream part. I take it back, animation started to stand out in the 2nd half. I really liked the scene when she slapped that dude, the MC's friends were like "Yes! His time to shine!" xD His drawings were really good, and he was already gifted so I was expecting some jealousy from Makina but she didn't. Really liked the ED, and finally got it when I paid some attention that the MC is the only one who notices the bottles among those puppets and then she runs to him. And he made her feel like human again. Very touching. 8/10 |

Ahhh I want a full length more or series for this. Too good for a short >__< I imagine her slapping that one dude was a result of her dream, experiences and growing fondness of the MC. IIRC one of the girls in her class (who I assume knew her from middle school) commented how she was really weird and likely on the same social level as the MC and his friends and only recently changed when she got into HS. It was also mentioned that her parents(mother) did not accept aspects about her and basically told her she had mental problems. Yeah I think that would have been it, but she had that dream when she was a little kid that's why I'm having a bit of trouble connecting that to child-Juri. I had to keep pausing just to see what the flashing images were and in it she looked like she was in grade school. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Damn that was good. Yoshiura makes everything he touches into gold. |
 |
| Whoa, this was really interesting. I really like how intriguing the plot was. The dream scene was animated really well. Knowing about the dream really connected the two of them. This was a great short film but I wish it was longer. 8/10 |
 |
| great movie, too short though I really like how it conveys its message 8/10 |
| really enjoyed this sseries 8/10 xD |
| Hmm, that was pretty neat I guess. 7/10 |
| That was really good |
| I like this kind of anime.. :( sad only 1 episode |
 |
| If there was ever a short film that i would want to be adapted into a full 12 episode show, it would be this one. It was absolutely beautiful. |
| I really enjoyed this short. I like the lead male and female. The story should be told through a longer 13ep series though. I really enjoy the dream sequence and the song. I was rooting for the "loser" and was smiling at the slap. 9/10 |
| Fucking perfection! The only bad thing about it was the length. I hope it gets a longer movie to show a little more of the developing love between the mains. I normally hate anything with drama, but this was drama done right. So after re-watching it again and taking the time to read some comments, it seems like the male lead didn't have the same dream as her. He just regurgitated what he heard from the 2nd track on the ipod. Also the drawing he made wasn't from memory, he just re-created it from the old one. The female lead thought that he had the same dream and drew that picture of it. Wow, this show just became not so good anymore. Basically, I was thinking (and hoping) the male lead was someone special, he was someone sent to rescue her. It turns out he didn't even have the dream, everything was a misunderstanding. I feel stupid for thinking this anime was really good now. |

| Of all the horrible shows out there that got 12+ episodes, this was only a 25 minute movie? So beautiful and the animation was on point, I'm really disappointed that so many things were open-ended and we didn't at least get a series or another hour. |

| Wanted it to be a longer movie. I mean at least it got its point through |

I feel stupid for thinking this anime was really good now. No, the male lead isn't a psychic, but he did "rescue" her. He pried open her shell and pulled her away from the world of suppressing her self and creativity. She likes music. The boy likes music. The misunderstanding was the catalyst for her to find someone with whom she can finally connect, without conforming to the "norm" to fit in. It's not as fairytale romance-like as what you first thought it was, but it doesn't take away anything from the story. |
| Didn't really enjoy it that much.. |
 |
| This episode really toyed with my feelings and I actually cared about what each character did. 10/10, simply amazing. |
| I liked it, nice animation and story but it was too short, that dream world looked really interesting. 7/10 |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| love the dark calm atmosphere. wish more stories could be told in this way. 7/10 |

| Seems like some people are a bit mad about the fact that Makina and Honjou aren't actually "the same", as Makina put it at the end of the show. But I don't think that's really needed. The reason she was so insecure about herself was because her mother and that doctor told her that she had some mental illness or the like. But in reality I think it's more like a rare gift. Like Honjous ability of "being able to play a song by heart after hearing it once", Makina pretty much has the ability to create songs by imagining a world in her dreams... or perhaps vice versa, she creates a song and imagines a setting befitting it. I believe I've read somewhere that some artists (song writers or ones who paint, etc..) create songs/paintings the same way. So she isn't really mentally ill, but rather has some amazing gift. So those two still fit quite well together, in my opinion. But telling her now that they aren't really "the same" would probably be a bad idea since she still thinks she is "weird". 1 or 2 more episodes of their developing relationship would've been best. |
| It was okay.Not as grand or as good as I expected it to be.Wonder how the other anime mirai projects turn out considering this was the one I had the highest hopes for.6/10. |
| I really enjoyed it! Yoshiura is such a great director. |
| I want more OMG why so short T___T Makina's dream is a parallel to her real life? |
| That first dude who walked over to their desk, his voice is so dull sounding :p "I like boring." What a strange thing to say :P Lol the player had a pie on the back :3 Getting all that just from one song I'm impressed. Damn she got excited. That slap, he deserved it. Oh so he just listened to the second track without realizing it :/ I wonder how she would react if he told her about the 2nd track or if she found it? Anyways this was pretty good. |
| Much deeper than what most people here seem to be realizing. As for her dream starting when she was a kid and not more recently; how does that change anything? She said she still has the dream this day. She doesn't feel like her true self having to act "normal" around her friends..that's why shes so happy she met someone who even remotely understands her. It's like if you lived in a place where no one liked anime and you finally met someone that does XD . Except for her, it's all been in her head of course. This is something that really happens to kids BTW. I thought it was fantastic given it's 25 minutes. It's amazing to write a full story and fit that time frame. 9/10 |
 |
| Not bad. At least it's something worth to spend your 25 minutes for. |
