Yesterday wo Utatte, Episode 1 – Mage in a Barrel


I’m just happy about this thing—and I hope I have more reason to be in the future!

At about the ten-minute mark of the first episode of Yesterday wo Utatte (Sing “Yesterday” for Me), I was starting to feel like the episode was getting ready to close, so I took a quite look at the time. 10 minutes. That’s how long it took this premiere to cover what felt like a single episode’s worth of content—and then it just kept going and going and going until it finally ended with Rikuo snapping Haru’s picture. In an episode completely hung up on a near-past that feels inescapable, it seems as if that picture might be the first, very small step forward.

For those of you who might not already be aware, Yesterday wo Utatte is an adaptation of a completed manga from a number of years back, and will be getting 18 episodes (you can more details on the production of the show on Sakugablog). All of that is pretty unusual in our contemporary anime space, but having seen the first episode, it’s clear that this show might very well be unusual within the context of anime as a whole.
