yeah, that was pretty disappointing. I'm thinking of pacing myself at like 1-2 episodes per week anyway.
| @Suprgamr123 Yep. I’m planning to pace myself as well. A bit disappointed all 20 episodes were dropped all at once. Oh netflix…. When will you learn 😫 First episode was rather nice. I like the 6 month deadline for our MC to prove herself — adds some extra tension and drive to the narrative. Once at the school I was getting an Anne Shirley at university vibe. Looking forward to meeting more characters! |
| the animation is gorgeous! |

| WHY must Netflix ruin these shows with batch releases during an insanely stacked season? Surely they have the viewer data at this point and know anime is meant to be weekly and that retention is higher for weekly releases?? |
 |
FINALLY PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT |
| We'll have to take the time to see this. |
 |
| As expected, Netflix dropped all the episodes at once. I watched the first episode in the English dub, and I’m glad they went with a British accent, it fits the show really well. The art style and animation are also really strong. |
| It's an ONA. I don't get the complaints of Netflix dropping everything at once. It's their show, it's not airing weekly on Japanese TV, they can release it however they want. Anyway, a pretty good if unremarkable start. Fish-out-of-water, gets lost, meets handsome, quirky love interest, got 6 months. The art is very good, the background art especially looks uncanny. |

Unbelievably beautiful art, great cinematography, great voice acting, fun characters, and an interesting plot; what more could you ever want?
WHY IS EVERYTHING PEAK THIS SEASON!!! My social life is GONE.

| @Suprgamr123 Same buddy XD. I'm probably held hostage in front of my screen because of the quality of this season XD |

| @Mr_Sai Wait a minute! ALL of it got released?! I guess I didn't look at the anime's Netflix page well. I just figured out that all of it is there after I saw your comment. Wow, Why would they do that? I guess I'll still be watching it on slower basis because this season is full. |

i only listened to the first 5 minutes of the dub, but found it pretty immersion breaking. The Japanese performances were great though (as expected of a star studded cast).
| @Suprgamr123 I thought the dub was the opposite of immersion breaking considering the anime takes place in London and the dub uses a London cast. Which is rare, they actually put effort into making the dub sound authentic to its setting. |
| It's not realistic for someone in this time period to think Japan = ninjas right? Wikipedia says they didn't become popular outside of Japan until the 80s. Suggests this will be a pretty typically shallow historical anime that doesn't have much interest in its setting, and in the typical way that it can't even imagine how different the world before TV and radio was from today |
| HOW THE HELL DID THIS RELEASED WITH NO MARKETING WHATSOEVER??? BY THE SAME CREATOR OF **HANA YORI DANGO** WHAT????????????????? IM FUCKING DEAD |
 |
| I'm dropping this the moment someone says "senpai". Everything but the scenery and clothes is plain 2000's with no effort to make people's behavior and interactions even slightly plausible for the era, making it likely a straight school art club story. |

it could be possible that she picked up some Japanese book and saw the idea of "ninjas" there. She even makes it out to be some kind of secret only she is in on, so it would hold that "ninjas" aren't a popular concept in the West yet.
| @Suprgamr123 I got the impression she thought this was common knowledge. And she also mentions samurai (as warriors not as a class of hereditary bureaucrats) in the same thought. Clearly reflecting the image of Japan from jidai-geki movies not like, Japanese PAINTING which was actually popular in Europe around the fin de siecle and should be especially known at a PAINTING SCHOOL |
| Another batch dump anime jeez thanks Netflix. I like the premise of Lili having to become a top artist in 6 months to prove her mother wrong. The animation is absolutely stunning so far and the setting of London is lovely. As an artist myself I love animes that have heavy focus on art and the journey to learn it. |
