'I hate this city. It's full of all the memories I want to forget about. Go to school everyday, chat with friends, and then go back to the home I don't even want to go back to. Will something eventually change, doing this? Will that day come?' 40 seconds into the pilot and tomoya is already dropping some of the most relatable lines i've heard in anime😭😭😭 i rlly like most of the characters introduced, mainly the main 2 (tomoya and nagisa i think), and i see a LOT of potential with this show. i'm not a fan of the character designs but i love the main style/aesthetic (some of the shots were beautiful) and it's rlly well complimented by the soundtrack so far. as a pilot this was kinda all over the place for me, the comedy didn't rlly hit and felt kinda forced but the more serious scenes worked rlly rlly well. i'm loving seeing how the characters interact and how the dynamics are being built. the 'plot' felt a bit messy too😭 but ofc with a few more episodes i'm sure an overarching story will become more apparent. anyway i think i'm going to really enjoy this😁😁 low 7/10
