(All episodes watched):

This is clearly going to be more than just a romance, which was good news to me. Why does a semi-cubic device--the 'Gene Terra'--hover over the city? There are ads from Generic Terra which speak of immortality and eternal youth. Why has this part of the city been left behind by the pace of progress in the rest? Could it all be an artificial reality created for people who treasure the 'nostalgia' of this district? At first it seemed that nothing really odd was going to happen in this first episode, but after the credits Kujirai comes across a disconnect between what she remembers and what others do. From her perspective, she has fallen in love with co-worker Kudo (who likes nostalgia) but he has not shown much interest in her. But from the perspective of Gwen, a friend of Kudo, the two of them are already engaged! What's going on here? I want to know.

So much happens in this show that I decided to create individual episode reviews for it (see above)
