I'm watching Sora no Method right now and this girl has a camera very clearly modelled after this camera that I happen to own and that's kinda funny

This released as an episode 0 btw so we'll see how that interacts with MAL. Anyway, I'm very like tangentially aware of Virtual Witch Phenomenon and particularly Kaf, and I do mean tangentially I've heard like one song from the group and one song from the solo artist like this is an anime I was looking forward to but I'm not like a hardcore fan awaiting their favourite group's big televised debut. Although that being the case I'm a little... maybe not disappointed per se but this series is definitely weird. Not in the ways I wanted it to be weird mind you, rather just oddly presented. We get a big cataclysm to start, that's intriguing, takes like 2 maybe 3 minutes total. Up through to the 11 minute mark though things are honestly very dull. Trauma ramps up again from thereafterwards though as we enter a fucky ass labyrinth and fight some giant spooky mantises with our giant helpful fish, and then we witness some extreme as hell gore trying to fight them off. Bit of exposition about what those are and what our MC's role in this is, and then we cut away what feels like mid-explanation to, uh, the next morning? I guess? Unclear. And MC is very mentally normal despite what just happened. We go to school, we chat to some classmates, we follow a railway through some nice abandoned places, and then we vaguely contemplate the nature of the world, and the episode ends. Hmmm. I wouldn't say any one thing doesn't work here - it's honestly a really normal first episode structure for this type of series, but I don't think it came together amazingly, and it probably could've been fixed with fairly light restructuring. Particularly the seeing Kaf's adoptive sister die in front of her quite horrifically straight into exposition straight into we're fine the next day was the weakest link of the episode. It probably wasn't literally the next day I'm sure but the sudden cut just didn't give me a good reading, you know?

Certainly nothing bad but of my 2 friends that have seen this so far I've seen a crazy level of hype that I don't quite get. I think the domestic scenes were the ones that kept my actual interest the least, so the show should improve as we lose out on some of them in favour of musical action setpieces? Or just as the cast expands? I want to like this more, we'll just see what happens. Also the only other comment I've got right now is there is a disparity in voice acting quality between the primarily voice actors among the cast versus the near exclusively singers, I believe Rime is the character and she just wasn't very convincing in the breakfast scene at all lol. Oh well. But yeah, we watching anyway.
