I remember reading through the visual novel with a friend. She was being kinda inconsiderate though and was reading it at her own speed reading pace while I read really slow and seem to visualize everything I read-- especially with this visual novel where I couldn't help but imagine the world they were describing. (You'd think a visual novel would just show it right? Lol, no-- jk. )
That being said, seeing all these things that I was imagining come to life is really cool. Even after almost a decade (or maybe even an actual decade??) since playing it, it's like I'm seeing all these things again although I only read about them. I think that's really awesome.
I'm just really surprised they'd adapt it after all this time though. I still have hope for some things being adapted then!

This reminds me of the music video for the Hatsune Miku song ARiA.

It's nice to see one of my favorite visual novels animated, looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes animated.

I loved that. Great interaction between the 2 characters, love the robot girl (forgot her name) and a really cool setting. All is good so far, hope David Production can deliver on this Key work!

The robot talks too damn much. It's just 18 minutes, shorter than an average anime episode, but because of her empty pleasantries-filled blabbering, the episode felt to me longer than even a normal-length episode does.

Interesting start, I liked it. The setting is nice.

Just watching Yumemi talk like that made me sad, All those years in alone :(

Well, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a heartbreaker at the end.

Should have bought the VN on steam during the sale :|

Not a bad adaptation. I think the VN narration made the world feel much more dreary (we don't get anywhere near as much inner monologue here), but this isn't too bad.

Oh come on, Hoshino is too precious for words. Really solid start, the dynamic between Hoshino's hospitality and Kuzuya's suspicion was a hoot. Very peculiar setting and has a bit of a melancholy shrouding it.

In the opening scene, the music playing is the hymn "Israel, Israel, God is Calling", or at least that's what it is to me.


Yeah, I also recognized it as "Israel, Israel, God is Calling," but to most Christians it's the melody of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," in case anyone is curious.

A lot (like 100%) better start than Rewrite.. I can actually feel the atmosphere and Key imprint here unlike Rewrite anime. I know this is taken from short kinetic novel but still...

Really looking forward to other episodes.

the first 5 minutes were great storytelling. show, not tell. good job.

but the moment the characters needed to talk to each other, the rest of it that i could stand to watch was some of the most obnoxious drivel i've ever had the misfortune of experiencing.

key needs to read a short story with sone finesse and try to apply it to their storytelling. this was just. a lot of pointless nothing. nothing is good when it adds something to the mood/tone of the piece - see: Orange - but there was no soul to any of this. what a waste of an anime crew. i hope at least they get paid enough.

I don't know anything about this series or the novel that spawned it, but this episode was great.

If it was an animated short and ended with the main character simply walking away it would already be good. The robot is VERY annoying, but that is clearly what it was supposed to be.

Yumemi really doesn't know when to stop talking... that's what's so cute about her~ It's sad that she had been doing the same routine every day for 29 years without anyone to talk to. Looks like her team won't be coming back any time soon.

"I beg your pardon! Why don't you come to the Planetarium? Here's a bouquet for your troubles~" I'd like an assistant as adorable as her. Even the wanderer gave in to her in the end. Not all robots are heartless drones after all :3

She's cute and has lovely oppai. I'd hit it.
Damn. How many years passed for her to look lke that?
OnoD!
Yumemi is so cute.
29 years. Shit!
Damn it. Stop being rude to Yumemi.
LMAO at him jumping up when he thought Jena was a person.
What's wrong with Jena? Is she not working? If she doesn't work then I can't see my sold vision....with mass.
Hey, you asshole. Don't just snatch the coupon from Yumemi.
Asshole. Don't walk away while Yumemi is still talking because she can't leave.
You better turn back and apologize.
Dat ED.

First off, the music is ON POINT. The tune of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" was an interesting touch. In a meta context, I think there's no better time to watch this than when DAISUKI is about to shut down. Just one more reason I'm going to finish this show now that I've started.

Don't expect too much in 18 min lol.

Hey, no hating on sky projectors, those old machines are cool
The digital projectors are fancy, but they don't have the same soul as the classic analogue ones...
And they especially don't have the contrast ratio.

Yumemi is very cute. She's diligently and jubilantly carrying out her duties even after an apocalypse has rendered them redundant, and even goes the extra mile to worry about the customer's health and create makeshift gifts for them. What a perfect girl (╥_╥)
