From Anidb.net:

QUOTE
Based on the visual interactive novel by Minori, featuring character designs by Nanao Naru.

The story revolves around the protagonist Hirono Hiro, a poor high school boy who draws shoujo manga for his living. One cold Christmas night after meeting a very strange woman in a church, who tells him that he`s going to meet someone he has to meet, his bike gets stolen by another strange girl. He runs after her and finds her collapsed on the street. Her name is Miyamura Miyako and her bag got stolen by a man on a motorbike. Soon after, they start hanging out together, enjoying highschool life. Miyako falls for Hiro pretty quickly but naturally finds a rival in his childhood friend, Shindou Kei, who has been dictating Hiro`s life since ever.

i've watched this anime subbed by Conclave-Mendoi up to episode 4. Overall i can say it's somewhat an awesome anime with abstract feel and some visual effects. Silhouttes, overshadows etc etc were used in this anime.it's rare to see an anime like this. (never watched 5cm before)

definitely in my watch list.

and i'm somewhat surprised why no one make a topic on this anime. sweat.gif

Very nice anime indeed.. Esp one of the girl have 13 hour memory only and the story is going around with a few character so it make it something new... rather than normal anime which concentrate in main character only.

Makoto Shinkai doesnt involve in the anime, either in story n the animation. he just involve in h-game as op animator, thats all

for someone who havent watch Makoto Shinkai's animation b4, u can try n compare it to the anime. (just ignore 1st 1 minutes)

yes, it was kinda pity that the girl doesnt remember anything past 13hour.but then the promise "see you tomorrow" made the yesterday her and the today her somewhat connected.

well, im the same as both of u.i cant understand ep1.

slowly as u progressed u will understand what's the meaning of those, who is the girl, who is the boy, who is connected to who.

most probably it's based on childhood memories and dreams,ambition and promise that has been made.

the eye-patched girl is the twin Shindou Kei, the girl that has been bothering Hiro since ep1.lol.

When i 1st watch it, i found that Chihiro (the eye-patched girl) is really wierd when she always use 'sayonara' when depart (no1 really use it unless u wont be meeting nemore), then learn bout her 13 hours of memory.

it seem its better than Wind (1 of Minori's stuff that made into anime) in term of story n quality

Frankly speaking, the anime is cliche heavy. I am not too keen to waste my time on this anime when there are tons of stuff I prefer is out there.

watched ep05 already.

seems that Shindou Kei caused Chihiro to lose one eye and memory loss.

and Chihiro's suffering is told in abstract in a form of a sheep.

nice literature.
