First Impression: ATRI -My Dear Moments-

Life is difficult for the sullen Natsuki Ikaruga. His demanding grandmother, a formerly notable marine geologist, has recently passed and the future is bleak. Natsuki must find a way to work around his disability, suffered during a catastrophic childhood event while living in a world that’s undergone an apocalyptic-sized event—a sudden rising of the sea, which submerged many coastal cities. But hope may be on the horizon. Teaming with an opportunist named Catherine, Natsuki will use a submersible to visit his grandmother’s former home to search for treasure. What he’ll find is neither gold nor jewels, but a humanoid named Atri who is full of life but lacking in memories. She’ll likely be worth a fortune, but might she be worth even more than monetary riches to Natsuki?

Beach episode! Wouldn’t be an anime without a lil bit of bikini action. Atri looked cute today and it was nice seeing the kids just be kids for a bit amidst all the chaos and danger of this world they’re living in. Trying to hang on to some semblance of normality. But I’m really doubting Atri is just a “humanoid” at this point.

She sleeps, eats, has wants and desires, has a strong insecurity about being “useful” to Natsuki and has even shown a capacity to stand up to and hurt humans. Don’t forget her bad memories of school that got brought up last week. I wonder if she’s an experimental prototype that maybe hurt someone in the past? I feel like them showing her punching Catherine wasn’t just a one off type thing.

Either way there’s way more to Atri than just being a silly cute robot waifu. Her existence could rewrite everything this world knows about the relationship between humans and androids and what it means to be “human”. Grandma wasn’t just hiding her away because she’s rare, that’s for sure.

But we did get so many cute Atri reaction faces and silly poses today. Trying to seduce Natsuki on the bed and then getting a bucket put over her was hilarious. She’s such a loveable idiot.

Still dying about Natsuki and Ryuji making up and truly bonding over Natsuki admitting he thought Ryuji was stupid too. Sometimes a little bit of honesty goes a long way 😂

Atri offering to allow herself to be sold to pay for the batteries got me in the feels a little. There’s gotta be another way to get power. She’s become an irreplaceable part of Natsuki’s life now.

Anime Japan Day One: Trailers and Announcements Everywhere

Anime Japan is always a monster of an event for new anime news, but it's still surprising how much great information they can pack into a single day.

I mean, ten different (good) trailers for series in a single day? It's a mountain of content that's sure to have few entrants slip past fans due to the sheer volume.

Because of that, I've pulled together all of those trailers into a single post! Here, I detail the staff associated with each work, their history, the content of the trailer, and the general outlook that they provide for the series as a whole.

So, whether you're curious about a new series, or unsure of another, the full post serves to help alleviate those feelings!

For some reason while watching Ep.4 of Atri I had this vibe that it felt like it should be ~decade older than it actually is.

Aniplex has announced a TV anime adaptation of ATRI: My Dear Moments, the first title released by its visual novel game brand ANIPLEX.EXE. An air date was not announced.

ATRI: My Dear Moments first launched for PC via Steam on June 18, 2020, followed by Switch, iOS, and Android on December 16, 2021. It has since been downloaded over 170,000 times.

The TV anime staff includes:

Original Work: ATRI: My Dear Moments (ANIPLEX.EXE)

Concept and Script: Asuta Konno (Frontwing)

Art and Character Design: Yusano / Moto4

Director: Makoto Kato

Series Composition: Jukki Hanada

Animation Studio: TROYCA

Here is the official synopsis of the game’s story:

In the near future, a sudden and unexplained sea rise has left much of human civilization underwater. Ikaruga Natsuki, a boy who lost his mother and his leg in an accident some years earlier, returns disillusioned from a harsh life in the big city to find his old countryside home half-swallowed by the sea.

Left without a family, all he has to his name is the ship and submarine left to him by his oceanologist grandmother, and her debts.

His only hope to restore the dreams for the future that he has lost is to take up an opportunity presented to him by the suspicious debt collector Catherine. They set sail to search the sunken ruins of his grandmother’s laboratory in order to find a treasure rumor says she left there.

But what they find is not riches or jewels; it is a strange girl lying asleep in a coffin at the bottom of the sea.

Atri.

Atri is a robot, but her appearance and her wealth of emotions would fool anyone into think she’s a living, breathing human being. In gratitude for being salvaged, she makes a declaration to Natsuki.

“I want to fulfill my master’s final order. Until I do, I’ll be your leg!”

In a little town slowly being enveloped by the ocean, an unforgettable summer is about to begin for this boy and this mysterious robot girl…

You know, summer usually ends up being the most barren anime season of the year.

That is definitely not the case this time.

MUST-WATCH

Mayonaka Punch: The director of Ya Boi Kongming is back with a show about lesbian vampire Youtubers. Need I say more?

Days With My Stepsister: Don't be fooled by the title: this is actually a very contemplative, serene series exploring the complexities of family. The stuff it's doing with light and shadow has my brain on fire.

Monogatari Series OFF and Monster Season: The ultimate problematic fave is back, and it's just as spectacular as ever.

The Elusive Samurai: Dear lord, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever set my eyes on.

Too Many Losing Heroines: Screwball comedy at its finest. The first episode had me cackling from start to finish.

Shoshimin Series: When a show manages to gut-punch me with strawberry tarts in the very first episode, I know it's operating on another level.

RUNNERS-UP

Oshi no Ko Season 2: god dammit why is this show actually good now

My Deer Friend Nokotan: Shikanoko nokonoko noshikankan shikanoko nokonoko noshikankan shikanoko nokon

Twilight Out of Focus: Always down for more good BL, though be warned it dives headfirst into themes of abuse and pedophilia, so come in prepared.

Senpai is an Otokonoko: Really with the production was better on this was cause the trans narrative at its core is so fucking good so far.

Bye Bye Earth: Thank the gods for classic anime fantasy.

Arti- My Dear Moments: An actual good Key adaptation in this day and age? I never thought the day would come again...

WORTH A LOOK

Narenare: Cheer For You: Incredibly vapid first episode, though the art direction is unique enough I'll probably stick with it a little longer to see if it gets better.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin: This would be an easy recommend in a less packed season, but if you must let one good show slip through the cracks, make it this one.

ON THIN ICE

Tower of God Season 2: I'm willing to give it another shot, we'll see how long that lasts.

The Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant Used to be Arch Enemies: The story behind this anime's existence is way more interesting than the anime itself.

Suicide Squad Isekai: Tappei Nagatsuki, my guy, what are you even doing?

2024 Summer Three-Episode Check-In

‘Tis the season of mess, whether from characters or writing.

The team split up the three-episode reviews between staff volunteers, with one person putting together a short(ish) review on each series. Like we do with our check-in podcasts, we started from the bottom of our Premiere Digest list and worked our way up.

If we didn’t watch a show for at least three episodes, we skipped it, and we’ve used nice bold headers to help you quickly jump to the shows you’re interested in. We’ve also excluded shows that are continuing on in basically the same vein as our premiere review to conserve space. Unless specifically noted, we will not be mentioning overt spoilers for anything beyond episode three.

We don’t have the time to keep up with everything, so please let us know about any gems we might be missing in the comments!
