Yep, one new anime based off a bishoujo game wasn’t enough. I needed more fuel for my bishoujo game-based anime obsession.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this one.

I say “surprisingly” because I didn’t think I’d get into it at the start. The characters didn’t catch my eye right off the bat.

Then it went off and became three distinct stories that are subtly interlinked. Well, maybe four stories if I include the two inside the church. So, instead of waiting for the characters to interest me, there’s a host of mysteries among these stories that ended up grasping me instead.

And I love the mood. It’s an intensely serene atmosphere. Yes, I used “intensely” as an adverb for “serene.” It’s so serene that it stands out. It’s extremely peaceful watching things get set up that I almost feel like there’s no hurry to find out what’s what. Almost.

The backgrounds are quite gorgeous and detailed. There’s a lot of focus on the backgrounds using pan and angle shots and the like so even a guy like me noticed it (I pay very little attention to relevant details while watching anime since I normally focus on random, inconsequential aspects instead).

The part that hooks me in the most is that the stories are definitely connected. Instead of building them up individually and slowly tying them together, this one opted to flat out say there is a connection. It’s different and thus makes things more interesting.

Ah, the ending song really hooks me in as well. It’s a cute tune.

The biggest mystery is why I care so much about these characters’ stories when I don’t really care for the characters themselves. I don’t hate them, I simply don’t like them yet. In terms of personality, none of them stand out.

At least none of them annoy me yet.
