Default Isshuukan Friends.


Because Izzy said so
Quote:
Kaori Fujimiya is always alone because all of her happy memories, including time spent with her friends, disappear every Monday. Deciding that he wants to be friends with her anyway, Yuuki Hase tries to get close to Kaori each week, wishing that she would one day call him "a friend."

(Source: MyAnimeList)
Amidst all the virtual reality/action series that seem to be the trend these days, a possibly feelsy SOL finds its way this season.

So far, I think the pacing is nice and the characters are quite likeable—though it worries me that they're animating this when the manga is still publishing. Still hoping the series will keep going strong until the very end.

Anyone else keeping up with this? Feel free to share your thoughts.

I get the feeling this would start to depress me. I might start watching it though because this genre is one of my favorites. Not really sure how to describe the genre though. Something more specific than SoL. Good SoL? Something with a good story and character development through an emotional drama.

So far nothing super depressing has happened. For the most part I've found it fairly warm so far, although I'm pretty sure it'll change fairly quickly down the road. Emotional drama's like this are one of my favorite genre's to watch, I like my feels strings pulled around.

So far I'd put this show on my top 3 for this season, I hope things continue at a good pace and the quality stays up.

The art somewhat recalls me of Usagi Drop, which is a really good thing. And SoL is pretty much the only thing I have been watching recently, I will eventually get to watch this series.

Considering having drama, character development and even a story aren't really relevant for the SoL tag, is being SoL or not really relevant for your interests?

Only because it implies it isn't something else like an action or horror show.

But in that case it probably wouldn't be a drama to start with.

Bump for sweet, sweet, turning point (ep. 9). For those of you who are still keeping up with this weekly, I do want to hear what you all think about it so far.

I personally thought that the heartwarmingness was stronger in the first few episodes of the series. (Not just in terms of presentation, but also in terms of the events and dialogues themselves. Really, I got teary-eyed reading the first couple of chapters of the manga, which is what the first couple of episodes covered.) Without this slight downhill trend, I would've found this week's episode even more impacting (though I admit, being ahead on the manga played a much larger role in my level of involvement).

That said, I feel the series has still been maintaining its solid execution. Shougo's been portrayed especially well, with his seeming coldness and inner kindness. It's going to be interesting to see how the remaining episodes play out, though at this point I suspect they will end on a somewhat iffy note to really get into the main plot in some sort of sequel or second season.

PS Kaori is still sweet as ever.
