The characters are really nice. I like the looks and style.
A girl with a sudden amnesia story. A spirit called Orion.
Looks like she'll have to play some memory hunting games.
This is totally a shoujo anime with a standard troubled heroine.
I'm expecting a stretched story with hot & cool guys.
The spirit thing could make things more interesting when the story evolves.
Just like in any shoujo anime, the development of the story is really slow.
I'll give this a few more episodes just 'cause I like the characters.

Alright, this first episode was totally not revealing much. This nameless heroine is suffering from amnesia because Orion accidentally did something bad, and now he is stuck with her. The heroine works at a maid and butler cafe, and some rude customers follow her home where she gets attacked.

Well, I will give it a few more episodes as I can't exactly get a good feel for the direction this show is going just by this episode. But so far, it's a show that I am liking so far as the character designs are great, and the outfits are really nice with those patterns on it. The heroine is really cute, as well as Orion, so at the very least for an O game adaptation, this is quite good. The character designs are the main draw for me with this show.

[Buckeye]

- The heroine broke a promise. What promise?
- It's someone's birthday. And the candles spark a bad memory: Shin killed somebody.
- A part-timer orientation trip is on the horizon. That might be a bad thing.
- The heroine is saved by Ukyo. She was about to get clobbered for jaywalking while dozing off.
- Onto the trip. There is supposed to be no rain.
- Ikki sure can't be beaten when it comes to anything using his hands.
- Off to see the meteor shower. But the heroine remembers Shin is a killer.
- And off the cliff goes the heroine, and apparently is back at the time she lost her memories in the hospital.

Lots of mystery going on in this episode as there is something up with that Ukyo person who appeared out of nowhere, and then there is Shin with some shameful past of sorts. That hospital scene at the end could either mean that she went there after falling off the cliff or that she is recalling the time when she first lost her memories since the date there says August 1st. So far, I don't know what to make of this show, but I will stick with it for now if nothing because of the characters. The heroine is cute with the rose beret and the pattern on her tights, while the boys all look great.

Going on a trip. That should be fun.
Well, at least her workplace is pretty nice.
Her spacing out made her dangerous to herself.
Her memory flashbacks kept popping up all the time.
The trip itself was so-so, until she did something stupid again.
At least the kiss part was a nice surprise.

[Buckeye]

- Shin picks up the Heroine from the hospital. So that Aug. 1 on the clock was just a hallucination.
- She may have amnesia, but at the the very least, she shouldn't be overfilling a cup with melon soda.
- And we learn that she is a college student who has become a talented singer.
- It's back to work. No, not at that place, the Meido no Hitsuji place is further down the street. It's just that Toma is there.
- So that is what happened. She fell, and everybody searched frantically. And the reactions of the boys were different.
- That mysterious photographer has appeared, just when she was about to walk into the path of an incoming train.
- Orion is back, but in a faint sense.

Lots of stuff is revealed in this episode, as it seems like things are starting to piece together. The first two episodes did not reveal a whole lot, but with this episode, things are starting to come together, at least the relationship between the heroine and Shin. But things are still coming along way too slowly. I'm not sure what to make of this show at the moment, but I will watch at least one more episode before my five-episode rule kicks in. If anything, the artwork is great and the character designs are really neat.

[ookamigirl]

Things are moving forward slowly.
It always interesting seeing fractions of her memory leaking though.
So Shin was/is her boyfriend.
Well, it was nice she finally shared her problem with someone.
Even though he figured it out on his own... it was still sad.
Things should be easier now when more people know about it.

[ookamigirl]

Shin is really trying to get through to her.
I feel sorry for him sometimes.
Shin seems to be pushing her too hard.
I think he's reaching his limit...
The fireworks was nice though.
She is being too indecisive and cautious.

[mk2000]

It's slow moving but I'm liking it nonetheless.

I guess each route takes us back to Aug 1st? (and man is she accident prone…)

Hopefully Orion comes back in the next episode. Ikki is looks like a total wolf so he might devour our heroine if someone doesn't interfere quickly. Heh

Also, while I like the character designs I have a hard time keeping a straight face with some of the stuff these guys are wearing as day clothes

[Buckeye]

- Orion is cut off once again.
- Waka has some fireworks and invites the group over. Shin is apparently too busy to come.
- And Shin decides to show up after all, taking the heroine into the forest.
- So it wasn't Shin who killed somebody. It was his father in self-defense, but he insists that it was murder.
- Now that Shin wasn't the one who killed, it's time that they date once again.
- And the heroine is about to get clobbered by a big rig.
- What just happened? It's August 1 again, and this time, Ikki comes knocking.

With the way this story is going, it's starting to look like one of the boys will date her, and then an accident happens where her consciousness will knock her back to August 1 and dates another boy, which gives off that feel Higurashi does, but without bloodshed. Now things are about to get really interesting, whether for the better or for the worse. So here, Shin dates the heroine, gets into an accident, then dates Ikki, then after the truth between the two gets revealed another accident, and then the same will happen with Kent and Toma, and then finally Ukyo who I believe knows everything about what is going on.
