I fell off the manga way back around volume 5, but perusing the review of the first two episodes, I didn't think I'd be hit with multiple spoilers for way later in the series. I'll be dropping both, but maybe I'll pick the manga up again sometime. :/

I'm (anime only) enjoying the show, and unlike many such cases I don't feel like the seams where cuts were made for this adaptation are particularly evident or hindering- I feel like I still understand everything that's going on....well, as much as I'm supposed to, anyway.
I'm concerned about how this ends though. I guess we'll see. |

Well, maybe not overnight, but I've had to remove the right lens from my glasses since the vision in that eye has improved for no discernible reason to nearly 20/20. Still need the near correction for reading though. But my eyes have been weird for years. 
The watermelon appearances in this are killing me. I need to get to the grocery... |

The show makes me want to find the best Cantonese cuisine in my area, because holy cow does lemon chicken sound really good right now.

Was hoping for more of a focus on Kowloon, since the character work in a rental agency, I figured a lot of story would focus on newcomer to the city and in the process of finding them an apartment you'd see interesting vignette of the city.
I find the love story aspect also a lot more entertaining when its away from the weird memory angle, could we get a couple of prequel episode where its just the original meeting with Kujirai B? The character/setting are interesting enough on stand on their own. I dunno if its due to the rushed pace, but the meeting with Yaomay was really strange, "Hey I just met you, but let me share my bizarre problem for no reason", she didn't even get her to stop the sound, poor neighbor.

I'm really enjoying myself so far, but it sounds like that wouldn't have been the case if I'd read the manga. I'm typically unable to watch an anime without comparing it to the manga, and when too much stuff gets cut, that bothers me. I wish it didn't, but it usually does. Heck, that's what ruined Horimiya for me.
It's a shame that we don't see more anime with flexible episode counts. The reviewer mentioned that 26 episodes might have been too many, but if we're speed running and cutting stuff out to fit 13 episodes, I can't help but wonder if the 16 - 20 episode range might have been a better fit. Or maybe a few longer episodes? We're only 2 episodes in, and I think everything is going well so far, so I probably shouldn't worry, but now I kinda am. lol |

I watched episode 1 and thought it was decent enough, though wasn't really into the actual romance part of things. Ending did motivate me to want to check out more but not really hooked yet.

Adult romance, sexy and likeable female protagonist, incredible atmosphere, Aoi Koga as a busty blonde, sci-fi mystery, what more could you want?
