Fumetsu no Anata e

An Orb, known only as It, is cast to Earth to be observed from afar. Capable of changing forms from beings whose reflections It captures, It first becomes a rock and then, due to the rising temperature, moss.

It does not move until one snowy day, a wolf at death's door barely crosses by. When It takes the animal's form, It attains awareness of its consciousness and starts to wander with an unclear destination in mind. Soon, It comes across the wolf's master—a young boy waiting for his tribe to return from a paradise abundant with fish and fruit in the south. Although the boy is lonely, he still hopes those whom he holds dear in his memories have not forgotten him and that he will reunite with them one day.

The boy wants to explore new surroundings and decides to abandon his home with It to find the paradise using the traces his tribe left behind. However, with a heavily injured body and no sight of his elder comrades, what will become of the boy?

Fumetsu no Anata e illustrates the story of an immortal being experiencing humanity, meeting all types of people in many places throughout time.

Alright i had the idea of writing a review of this for a while now, so lets try to settle it the best we can.
Fumetsu no Anata e or To your eternity is a wonderful story, adapted through a convincing and well done anime. I'll do what i can to convince anybody who wants a journey among the beauty and the brutalities of life that this show is one of the best to experience such arguments.

Plot: 9
Absolutely immense, dealing with the deepest themes you can find. The meanings of life, time and feelings all converge into one huge story that could last forever, ... without dragging it at all, making the watcher curious and excited most of the episodes for whats about to come. The messages are so many its absolutely impossible to summarize them all, but essentially it is a very profound journey without resulting too heavy on the rythm. Dont expect something so philosophical that it kills the atmosphere of the actual setting: there's lots of action, but this isnt the only focus of the story, as understandable as i made it up to now. As introspective as the story can be, in fact whats happening physically around us is absolutely crucial in every fragment of the season and sometimes there's little but well weighted time to think about what just happened. I haven't felt too challenged by stupid dialogues or weird anime shenanigans in general, what's happening happens for a reason, and usually it is very realistic and well thought of. The show has a great idea and it developes brilliantly, having a few issues only maybe towards half the season. I think most people will feel touched by the messages because as i intended many times already, this story is very deep, sad, drammatic, violent and overall emotional. I suggest to begin without knowing absolutely nothing about it, it worked perfectly for me. This is the best quality of the show and i cannot highlight enough how much it could affect anybody.

Presentation: 8
Animationwise we are on a pretty average level, compared to daily anime it doesnt really defend itself properly against other giants, but it isnt at all ugly or badly executed. It has some great moments, i'd give it a 7 overall
The still images are great, the drawings of the manga were not easy to adapt, and the studio did a good job. 8
Special effects and CGI are not used much, its very hard to give a score. The sound design and the music are great, 8 as well.

Characters: 8
Most of them are very human and realistic, you can grow attached to them, and some of them are absolutely stellar. The protagonist easily tops the list for me, being a banger fromt the very beginning. It makes sense, it works, and it evolves into something extremely interesting. I think he's worth the watch by himself, but the overall cast is pretty strong. They are all recognizable and have a role, most of the times unique, they are chosen for, which usually makes total sense.

So yeah i highly suggest anybody who's willing to get emotional the watch of this season. It has been pretty damn good from start to finish with very few falls, if we really can call them as such.

Mixed Feelings

As others have said, the first few episodes are just, on an other level. Above all, the first episode, which is probably one of the most emotionally charged that I have ever seen, which is surprising given that the characters involved have just been introduced. Seriously, a masterpiece of an episode.

After a few archs, it falls flat. This anime had the potential to become a masterpiece, an intrincated story whith unforseen events and consequences, unpredictable due to its nature, but instead it becomes a drama, centered around the backstories of other people and losing it's touch.

I would have loved that the first episode had some ... real follow-up, but instead it is forgotten along the series even though it is so esencial for the story to exist.

Even though I had a great time watching it, I was growing more and more disappointed watching how the (for me) best character was just forgotten and the series was becoming flat.

This anime is probably the biggest fall-off I have ever seen.

The first few episodes were genuinely some of the most interesting beginnings of a show. The concept and story was very unique and fantastic to watch. An honest 10/10 show from the get-go. Then it fell off. Fell off hard. It managed to go from a 10/10 to a low 4/10 by the end. The story branched off into weird stuff and no longer had what made it so good. It became a boring show with predictable scenes, eye-rolling annoying characters, and bad/lame stories.

Highly disappointing show and very frustrating to see what could've been a ... masterpiece fall off so hard.
I would not recommend wasting your time watching this show except for the first few episodes.
