Despite the supernatural element that's been presented which...
Animation is your standard stuff you expect from J.C. Staff though I really liked the understated backgrounds. It reminded me of the same, calming feeling I used to have when I watched Figure 17 or Zettai Shounen. This goes the same with the BGMs and the OP and ED sequences.
Promising first episode, and hopefully they'll keep up with the drama now since that developement occured at the end of it. Too bad it's sort of underrated right now.
the first episode was surprisingly intruguing and very well paced. I found myself curious about what type of relationship Hiro (who suspiciously looks like a gruffer version Yukito from Air TV Laughing) and his ex-girlfriend Shouko used to have. Karada's problem seems like what some ordinary kids have which is wanting to be older sooner and not be treated as a child....Karada becomes an adult and Shouko becomes a child,....

Yeah. Definitely.angelx03 wrote: I found myself curious about what type of relationship Hiro (who suspiciously looks like a gruffer version Yukito from Air TV Laughing) and his ex-girlfriend Shouko used to have.

It does seem pretty interesting though. I wonder if it's gonna turn out to be more of a comedy or a drama - seems pretty dramatic right now, but I can see where certain "supernatural elements" could become really funny.

I challenge you to sit there and really examine the taste of it with your tongue and tell me what it's made out of, without looking at the bottle.
It doesn't taste like what it's made out of, does it?

And episode 2 proved that they handled it with finese and "realism". I mean if you're in Karada shoes and you had that incident happening, I bet you would get freaked out about it without being totally overreactive. And man, Karada will turn out one fine lady when she grows up!OmniStrata wrote:whoa

After the 2nd episode, I can't say I'm really that interested in the story. There was a little too much grace and reality in the way they handled the switch, which seemed a little silly to me, since switching ages doesn't happen in reality. I guess I just got kinda pissed at all the characters. I really dislike Karada's older brother.
My vote so far is... Meh.What kind of older brother doesn't even call the police or something when a little girl is missing for so long? And why was he so mean to her friend? Plus, the haircut makes him look like a creepy stalker, if you ask me.

i'm sure even if it had happened in reality, different people would probably handle it differently depending on their personality. Some would freak out, some would probably think it was cool, though most would probably think they were dreaming or something
The begining of this series realy reminded me of the atmosphere Binbou shimai moonogatari had, though the girls in this series seem to have more deepseated issues than that anime. I'll have to see more to see if I'll be sticking with this one, seems to be moving somewhat slowly so far.

Heard of the Social Welfare Agency? It'll really suck if they get involved if we assume Hiro is the legal guardian for Karada's well being.

Yeah... I kinda thought that. But still, with the haircut.... It's like they're trying to make him really creepy. I wanna know why! I'll just hafta watch more, I guess.
