Spoiler for Iroiro 01 - Through Snow and Wind and Rain:

It's a good thing this adaptation aired during the fall season. Snow is such a prominent motif that I'd feel like facing unafraid the plans that I've made and having some corn for popping even if it was in the middle of July. Especially since I live in Florida.

Despite only playing a small fraction of VNs, I've heard almost every voice in this cast before and can recall a variety of their roles. It's the same feeling I got with Majikoi. And it's weird. I wonder if I'm becoming more familiar with VN voice actresses than the mainstream anime ones. I'm even starting to like Mayumi Yoshida's performances. What a turn thy wheel of fate has spun!

Oh, right, the actual episode. Very atmospheric. The color palette's so cool you can feel your computer turning into a refrigerator. Yet it's accentuated by some very warm characterization. Shingo and Sakuno are a cute pair of siblings, and the supporting cast looks quirky, but friendly (though Sana might have to defrost a bit). This show's wintery feeling, contrasted with Tamayura's spring one, create a zephyr of seasonal heartwarmth that I can quite appreciate.
