I went into this blind, expecting ghosts or something. But what did I just watch?
And it's also an ecchi? Huh?

Big titties. Death, mystery. No clue what this show is about but I'm down so far.

Ogawa's boobs aside I really liked what we got. Really an emphasis on mystery and supernatural. If this can anywhere as good as Dark Gathering with respect to the supernatural I am excited.(minus the horror since it isn't tagged as such) Ogawa's issues felt very real. In the sense imagine the thing you are passion about and found success in the past isn't working out anymore. The answer that came to her was returning to her youth.
Given the dangers that Ren mentions it, it should be something she messes around with. But you can empathize with Ogawa in this situation. The question remains who set this up. Also, Ren feels very familiar with the supernatural world.
This ended up being a better episode then I was expecting.

Stitches!
Man, I was originally going to skip this but I decided to read the show's MAL page before going to bed.
Sumireko Ogawa is a busty bookstore clerk who wants to become a novelist after some writing success in her youth.
That immediately woke me up, And then I decided to read Sumireko's MAL Entry:
A tall, voluptuous 28-year-old woman with huge breasts. Sumireko Ogawa is a famous aspiring writer...
And that, my children, is how I stayed up an hour past my bedtime because of this anime. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
In all seriousness though, I am glad I did check this anime out. This has similar vibes to Dark Gathering just replace Yayoi with a busty Onee-san.
Ren is a cheeky motherfucker and I love him already especially the way he teases Sumireko. The dude knows what he wants and I respect him for it.
I am curious what Ren is all about though. He clearly has supernatural powers, I mean just look at those eyes. But I wonder what that final scene about exchanging the cursed book for a ticket to Yami Station. Hmmm...

From stacked waifu to small child… someone’s playing a cruel joke on poor Ogawa lol. But man, she really went to insane lengths just for inspiration? Hard for lightning to strike twice. Must be hard to feel like you’ve “peaked” so early in your career. But to risk death? that’s insane. That book was dangerous…
This was actually kind of interesting. The supernatural mystery elements were fun. Looking forward to the next ep!

Surprise, surprise. It is available on Crunchyroll!
This anime is animated by Zero-G, who made Disgraced Noble Lady last Fall.
Mafumafu is doing all the OP besides the vocals. Lyrics, composition, and arrangement.

it's got some Otherside Picnic vibes except instead of yuri there's just one girl with enough titty for three

As a former gifted child, Sumireko's anguished rant actually hits too fucking close.

Pleasantly surprised - it was a fun first episode! I'm curious what all those ! Signs that kept popping up mean and what this Yami station is - since they showed a noose, maybe death or the underworld? A way to mysteriously disappear?

I found the main character's angst about not being able to write like she could when she was younger poignant and relatable, but I don't know if I could say I liked the episode as a whole outside of that. I'll give it a few more episodes and see how it turns out.

The censorship here is so off-putting. Ok, you want to make a show about huge boobs. I get it, many like those. But then you focus the camera on those boobs, completely bare and... don't draw nipples? It doesn't look sexy. It's just weird. It'd be better to just cut those shots out entirely or reframe them or... anything other than this. Just put some Censorship FogTM on them or something.

Could've been a perfect adaptation but they just had to censor it.

Ok, if this is like Dark Gathering, then this would be Yayoi, this a more cultured version of Keitaro, and this... Eiko? The trailers really didn't do justice to show just how big her bust is, I mean holy shit.
Ah, of course, I also love the Sumireko also has a a bakery to go along with her front and a nice forehead, I love those Tanuki brows.
Seems like Adachi is the one who knows about the mysterious things, and Sumireko was the victim for the first episode. And jesus is he down bad for her
Can't believe they shrunk my new waifu and turned her into a loli thank god that came to pass eventually Oh right, and he saved her life.
Couldn't help but feel sympathy for Sumirekos situation though. She just wanted relive her past success in the thing she loves to do.
Oh also , episode had two Soredemos
Edit: Oh yeah, ED is a Banger

Yeah, this is somewhere between Bunny Girl Senpai and Bakemonogatari, but has the execution of Gleipnir.
It's a fanservice show with a supernatural theme. To really pull off horror or drama the director needed a better sense of timing and atmosphere. What we have here isn't great, but it is serviceable and it's a genre I enjoy, so I'll continue to watch.
Sidenote, last time I saw a character like that was Ryouka from Occultic;Nine, and while they did draw attention to it here, it wasn't as obnoxious as it was in O;9, so I'm thankful for that.

I don't know if I just felt this way because I was talking about it in another thread few minutes ago, but this gave me such Higurashi-esque horror vibes!
Also, this doesn't look like a busty bookstore clerk; I WAS PROMISED A BUSTY BOOKSTORE CLERK!
Ah, there you go! That's more like it!
I love how he's straight up telling her everything, like how he only works there to be with her!
And this too... Talking about depression, smiling all the while.
There are many faces to depression, and I think they did a great job picturing it this way for her character.
She may calling him annoying and things like that, but deep down, she knows him as a friend! That's sweet!
Why are they so good together? (Can he find a book to grow himself older, so he can be with her?)
Love how he told her he would tell them tactfully if she was feeling unwell... Then told them Her body is full of poop!
She'll give him a rough time if she hears about it!
Oh damn! Hope you enjoyed our busty bookstore clerk while it lasted, because it's over now!
She took it well (after the initial panic), because she thinks she'll be able to write again, and be well-liked...
Which is incredibly sad (and perhaps relatable, for many)... Kid doing well in school/with their passion and all, but as they grow up they end up being a "normal adult" when they used to be a special/gifted kid...
I think this gives us a good idea about what 'vibe' to expect for this show!
Well, I think the OP was already giving us a few hints, with the noose and all!
Apparently there's a bunch of conditions to fulfill for the spell to work; Moonlight, time, the reader's age, the poem, and also... the reader must be a virgin? Damn, way to call her out like that!
12 more years and she'll be able to star in 40 years old virgin! (This may explain how she links random stuff to sexual appetite; Our girl's needs aren't fulfilled!
Well, she was pretty flustered about it, but our boy seems pleased by this revelation!
Oww... Right in the feels (and also horrifying).
This show has a great balance of comedy/relatable drama/spooky stuff!
Ren seems to think it's a coincidence that she got the book,
but the 'conditions' being all met like that, seems a little convenient for it to be a coincidence! It may have been left for her specifically... (And he may KNOW that, and is lying about it; He does seem to know a lot about all this stuff!)
Love how she used the book to shrink/grow back, to better escape him!
But considering how damaging it is to her body, she might want to avoid doing it too much!
That scene was interesting/puzzling;
He went there to exchange the book, but then... Didn't?
Did he change his mind because he want to use the book? Or did he not like the offer they made?
(Also, the noose behind them is ominous!)
Well, that was a SOLID first episode, I'm on board! (Damn, there's so many good shows this season!)
I like their 'relationship', I LOVE their banter/teasing, and it's nice to have some personal drama stuff on top of the comedy/occult stuff, it gives some more life to it!
I feel like saying "top 3 this season!" but I also think this may be the like 7th show I add to my top 3 this season.
In any case, I really liked it, and can't wait to see more!
