First Impressions / Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo / Series Introduction

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo – 01

「ねこ・しろ・ましろ」 (Neko. Shiro. Mashiro)
“Cat. White. Mashiro”

Take it slow, don’t rush, establish the characters, establish the mood – that’s how I imagine the production team approached this first episode, and I must say, I am pleased. Every step of the way, from the first sight of cherry blossoms fluttering on the screen to the final roll of credits at the end, served to continually reinforce the mood of a soft, warm, and sweet romantic comedy. There just might be something special going on here.

「チーム名は…リトルバスターズだ」 (Chīmu Mei wa…Ritoru Basutāzu da)
“The Team Name is…Little Busters”

I don’t think there can be any question that Little Busters! is one of the most anticipated, debated, pre-judged and agonized over anime adaptations in recent years. Now comes the only question that really matters: It it any good?
