Very good I really like the narration throughout the whole episode. What a terrible fate the kid had to go through. I am so curious about the story lets see how this goes.

Very sad for the kid who just wanted to meet up with his family and live a free life in paradise, breaks my heart.

Excellent first episode. Music, art, voice acting is all top notch. My only worry is that this story will not be able to maintain this level of dramatic excellence.

It's been a while since I've seen such a strong start to anime. This has all the elements I was missing from the bad written popular shounens like JJK and KNY, so it definitely gives me hope in anime again, although the anime community seems beyond salvation.

But it's too early to tell if this is gonna stay like that. With the "real" story only starting from next episode, things can either go downhill or, who knows, maybe improve even more. This is already a strong contender to be nominated for AOTY (not talking about Crunchyroll Awards and please stop pretending their Award matter). But to surpass SNK Final Season, it will have to work really hard.

I knew this was gonna make me cry but damn - they did such a good job of adapting this that it tore my heart to pieces. It was heartbreaking watching the boy try to stay positive and just slowly, slowly fade away.

The soundtrack really elevated the atmosphere of each scene and the animation & artwork were beautiful. My only concern is that the boy's voice didn't suit the serious tone of the anime and I hope that isn't going to be a thing with other characters cause I feel like it'll take the audience out of some of the deeper moments.

So is the thing going to stay as the boy for a while or does it take on a new form at the end of each episode?

The ending of episode one just gave me such a weird vibe, I got the impression that the main thing is just some parasite that steals people's likeness to just half heartedly live their life, I did find this episode very emotional and impactful, but identity theft is not a joke.

omg I underestimated this...I should've sat next to the tissue box...
I mean...the anime synopsis does say that the kid dies and I had expected it already going in but the delivery was so masterful my feels....

And to think that was just episode 1 out of...20?
Was so good it could've worked as a 1 episode standalone OVA/movie.....(well it seemed better than the last few anime movies I recall watching)

edit: By the way...am i the only one who swears I heard the 'thing' talked when it finally took a bite of that fish? The boy didn't even react to it beyond the "you can eat after all" comment...

Mondays became Drama Mondays with both Fumetsu and Fruits Basket being aired the same day.

Pretty decent first episode. OST is absolutely amazing but this prologue's story with the boy was way too predictable for me to even feel anything. I already love the whole premise with the evolving orb tho.

P.S.: That next episode's PV was way too spoiler-y, man.

This series is pretty deep...

I already felt


___ ___ ___

What I am not sure is... who the hell kind of "God" or "Alien" or some sort of Isekai maker? was that at the start of the episode... (it's partly Isekai as the Orb doesn't look like it's from "this world")

Sending a "orb" that reacts to other things to "Earth" so he can observe it.

TBH that sounds like a plot where Aliens send life onto a planet that doesn't have much life and see how it grows over time. (something like "Alien Reality TV show")

And why did the others leave the "village" (more like a Tribe of 10-ish people) and only the boy left living there? Why didn't the boy leave with others, or why does everyone leave at same time but the boy? hmm...

___ ___ ___

And that next episode preview... wtf man... now we gotta feel sad for the girl too even before episode 2 is out.

I'm going to be honest here, I can obviously see that the first episode seems to be setting up something greater and that the story can develop so much further down the line.

But please be honest with yourself, this first episode was not was good as everyone makes it out to be, even if there is a lot of foreshadowing or other stuff going on.

I'm not saying that the series is gonna be bad, or that the Episode was overly bad, it was "good" in most aspects, but please don't overhype this shit for no reason.

(Again, I can see the potential, but the first episode here is just not that good compared to the praise it's getting already)

This is one of the best first episodes I have seen. The soundtrack is amazing and was enough to destroy me by itself.

I told myself I wouldn't cry when I knew what was going to happen to the boy but when those 2 last minutes happened I couldn't control myself. Damn.

I can already tell this is going to be FREAKING amazing.

Never EVER have I cried on a first episode, and now here I'm, a sobbing mess. I'm not even sure what did I just watch but it was painful, amazing, beautiful and I'm absolutely marveled. I was so not ready for this. I had no idea what this anime would be like, and it actually was so overwhelming that I'm feeling the need to just stare at the wall for the next couple of minutes and calm down a bit. Best first episode ever?

It's so good when art can hit it us right in the chest like this episode did, isn't it?

Amazing premiere. I don't remember the author's name, but it's the same mangaka who wrote Koe no Katachi. She's brilliant as a storyteller.

What a premiere.. It gives me the same feeling and atmosphere, if not better, compared to when I read this part in the manga. This series always give me a "different feeling" when it comes to entertainment. The feeling which leads this series towards the word "Masterpiece".

I have only read a few chapters of the manga because I kept on delaying it. Why? Because I know it's going to be good. And if I want to read it, I want myself to be in the best situation possible to absorb whatever's coming from Fumetsu no Anata e.

The first episode was a symbolism for the spirit of mentor and disciple.

"It" is the 'disciple' seeking a clear purpose and direction, until "It" meets the nameless boy who became his 'mentor'. In the very end, when the nameless boy passed away peacefully, "It" inherits the boy's form and spirit, thus establishing a new legacy after taking its very first steps to chart new frontiers and encounter new 'mentors'.

A really strong start from a series I've never heard about before.

It reminded me a bit of Somali and the Forest Spirit, or actually, how Somali failed to deliver a good story. Now that I look at it, Somali is more of a slice of life in a fantasy world, rather than a show trying to tell a bigger story.

To the eternity managed to make me feel attached to the introduced characters in just one episode, and Somali couldn't do it in twelve episodes.
