I'm glad crunchyroll is simulcasting it- that paired with the fantagraphics manga release makes it seem as though it is being regarded as important, I think, to share internationally. That we can access it legally and support an industry making good decision makes me very happy.<br /><br />I was shocked to learn that it begins so far into the narrative, but by the end I was convinced that this was not a bad decision. They used disjointed moments and events to paint a picture of how the relationships fit together, and it think it came out to a very lovely whole.<br /><br />I thought the last scene, which you didn't mention, was the most powerful and ominous- ushering in the real silent protagonist: puberty. <br /><br />I'm also pleased with the narrative placement because I think Niitorin's relationship with Maho and Anna are the most interesting, and we are set up in a place that will probably explore that. Lucky also that it's a place when the only real yuri shows up between Anna and Niitorin.<br /><br />God, I love Anna so much.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for blogging episode one! I linked to your blog in my own (awful) personal blog about it here:<br />http://shirono.livejournal.com/502892.html<br /><br />Please let me know if that is not okay, I can remove the link.<br /><br />I appreciate that you use desired pronouns in your review (Niitorin as she and Takatsuki and he). I find it difficult to do so when writing about them myself, because they are in the social in-between space of transitioning, which sees them living a little of both identities, more often the undesired one. As someone in that in-between space myself, I know how hard it can be, and also how complicated.<br /><br />Looking forward to more! I'm so excited.Kori Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572867211753760952noreply@blogger.com
