Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien: Episode 1

This show opens with some very pretty piano music.  A blue-haired girl does some laps in a pool, while a girl with short orange hair watches, presumably a friend.  Then we see a guy with black hair talking to a guy with orange hair about college.  Cool, seems realistic enough, which isn't always seen in anime.

The four characters walk home together, the guys joking around in a way that my friends and I sometimes do, so that was kinda cute.  There's this whole ridiculous hand-holding thing that happens, though, between the black haired guy (Takayuki) and Haruka (orange-haired girl).  This is after he agrees to go out with her.

Hrm...I'm not liking the way Mitsuki's...well, I'm not liking the vibe between her and Takayuki.  It's just not...kosher.  That is, it seems like she definitely likes him now that she's gotten to know him and the only thing that's keeping her from going out with him is the fact that Haruka, her best friend, is dating him.  Make sense?  O.o

Overall: It looks like a cute show, the music is awesome, I love the piano theme, it's so soothing!  Mitsuki's hair looks like it's going to take over the world someday, for sure.  Haruka is being one of those prissy, blush-at-everything characters I don't like too much.

On the whole, it seems like a very plausible anime...something I could see actually happening, which makes for a refreshing change.  Don't get me wrong, I love buildings collapsing and butt-kicking as much as the next guy, but sometimes, you just wanna chillax, y'know?
