Disregarding my bias to SHAFT works, this anime has the best set of staff this season and the cast is quite good as well.

- Kana Asumi as Marin
- Yui Horie as Urin
- Miyuki Sawashiro as Kojima
Opening – “violet” by marble
Ending – “Tōmei na Inori (透明な祈り)” by Masumi Itō ( So cute! 🙂 )
The first episode is quite impressive primarily due Shichiro Kobayashi’s soft backgrounds and Ken Muramatsu’s tranquil music.
Priestess signing to the sea was my favorite scene. Although her voice is not very good, the landscape and music create a pleasant atmosphere 🙂
Unfortunately, character design does not fit my taste and prevents me from fully enjoying this anime. I am sure many other people will cover this show though because everything else is great.
Kitsune's Thoughts 
I gave this episode a first watch and all I can say is that I love the music. The bgm is lovely…in this case, I should keep a look out for the OST. 🙂
Indeed, the music is nice. I also would like to check out the OST 🙂
Wow, the animation looks gorgeous! I think I’m going to try this show, I just hope the story is good too!
Yes, the background art looked nice 🙂
Well, the little girl released something very evil to the world, so it seems that only the collaboration of sea and sky priestesses can seal it again.
