Comments
Cakra Bhirawa (The Indonesian Anime Times)
To be frank, I was expecting a bit more from this kind of Yuri anime, especially in terms of the intimacy. However, this is just the first episode, so I can’t argue with it too much. But one thing that is bothering me in this episode is that it’s an information dump. Every scene is quite fast, which makes you suddenly see a new plot that you need to understand. You may need to rewatch the first episode over and over again to at least get the gist of it (or at least that is for me). Also, I was expecting that they would try to keep Ayaka Ohashi as the main protagonist seiyuu. But sadly, she was replaced by another seiyuu. If this anime had Hasshi in it, maybe I would mark it a bit differently. For now, I think this might be a candidate for me to just binge-watch.
