Well, there's nothing much to spoil in terms of plot since as usual it's mostly introductions at a pretty brisk paced. Though I have to say, those transition wipes were pretty iffy. In this series, we are introduced to main male lead named Tomoya Okazaki who pretty much hates his city due to some bad memories connected to it. Then he met up with a girl named Nagisa Furukawa, and obviously stuff is going to change. There were quite of bit of hilarious moments here such as:
[spoiler]- Tomoya's friend Youhei Sunohara has the potential of being the next side-male punching bag for the rugby team and Tomoyo Sakagami.
- In fact
Tomoyo is SO FREAKIN' COOL! No wonder she has her own spinoff game!
- That little moment of Ryou Fujibayashi doing her fortune telling was amusing. You thought she was being clumsy when she fumbled shuffling the cards, but was it part it? Who knows; she was able to tell his fortune.
- Oy, that book Ryou's sister Kyou threw at Tomoya looks like it's going to be painful if he got hit!
- The dynamics between Nagisa's parents were very refreshing and hilarious! I can see how the theme of family is going to be incorporated.[/spoiler]
There were some interesting events that happened as well.[spoiler]- I wonder what that vision Tomoya thought up is about. He felt like the world he's in is all stagnant with nothing changing until he met a mysterious girl who feels that she's alone. He actually started to worry about her. I sense foreshadowing!
- Now here's concept that's rarely dealt with! Seems like Tomoya is absolutely ashamed towards his dad for being a deadbeat ever since his mom died.[/spoiler]
The OP sequence is very slick as usual though I actually find myself liking the ED sequence a bit more. It's really simple yet really innocent in representing family and community. Yeah, I'm pretty sappy! And everyone loves a dango! ^_^'
