Full recap this week, with Rin first introducing how the human world became connected to the god world and the devil world 10 years ago. The majority of the episode focuses on Rin talking about each character with scenes from the original series. The order he goes in is himself, Kaede, Shia, Eustoma, Forbesii, Nerine, Primula, Asa, Ama, Itsuki, Mayumi, and finally Benibara.

ED: 「Innocence」 by 橋本みゆき (Hashimoto Miyuki)
Watch the ED! Mirror 1 Mirror 2
Although the ED is exactly the same, the new OP was animated somewhat differently. I say somewhat because a good part of it was just shots from various episodes we’ve already seen. Still, there was that shot of Primula sprouting wings and the focus on the girls. The new YURIA song is pretty catchy, and I like it about as much as the original OP.
Well, this was to be expected given how early reports said this show would be doing exactly what it did. I have no idea when they’re going to start showing new stuff, but they have promised it. Next week is supposedly the first part of the Kaede story.
Unfortunately, one of my worries was confirmed. Looking at the end of the episode and comparing it with SHUFFLE! Episode 11, it would seem that this season is going to be censored by things like fog.

Ah censorship. I wonder why it’s happening now when it didn’t for Shuffle! This isn’t rated R-15 I take it?
Omni at 3:35 pm on January 7th, 2007
Well, this isn’t airing on pay satellite station WOWOW anymore, but rather a whole slew of regular stations.
Fat Cat Lim at 3:48 pm on January 7th, 2007
So it’s basically a recap episode? That kinda sucks. Now we have to wait another week for the real episode.
>>it would seem that this season is going to be censored by things like fog.
As long as it isn’t the stupid police tape censors, I can somewhat accept fog…reluctantly.
Nekozama at 4:06 pm on January 7th, 2007
but then again its a bit disappointing but fog is better than, “keep out” line (Chocosis)
golthin at 4:19 pm on January 7th, 2007
How many episodes is this supposed to be? If it had the same end with a little new content I don’t think I will be following this show. I agree that I rather have fog than the ungly tape.

lol “KKK” in screen cap 12

Lol, so many people anticipated this series and we got a recap episode as first one.. ^^
I read some stuff in the Megami magazine about Shuffle! Memories, curious to see the second episode now!
Anime Alcove at 6:09 pm on January 7th, 2007
Excellent.. Shuffle! was an excellent anime in my opinion and a second season would definately be nice to see.. I plan on writing detailed episode reviews as soon as I have the time over at Anime Alcove, but it’s up in the air right now.. My blog is just starting out and I’ve already got so much to write about!
psychohare at 6:51 pm on January 7th, 2007
censorship + recap = ???
thats not the Shuffle i knew of!
deftoned at 7:15 pm on January 7th, 2007
that eyecatch would make a nice wallpaper.

Hopefully they will release uncut DVD’s
but almost all the nudity in Season 1 was appropriate meaning it didn’t seemd forced everytime.
But pantyshots are another story
Vexx at 7:29 pm on January 7th, 2007
Sounds like “fog to be removed for DVD” shenanigans… but yes, it is better than those stupid police line tapes (which just detract from an otherwise fairly decent story).
I’m expecting zippo to avoid disappointment here… I’ve heard some noise that either predicts:
1) some post 1st season storyline focusing on each girl in sequence.
2) a retelling of the basic story from each girl’s POV with some occasional new footage.
Either way, when the DVDs are released each one or two will be focused on a particular girl (or thats the speculation anyway). Whatever…
Tokijin1868 at 7:51 pm on January 7th, 2007
at least it’s not the Donkey’s from gunXsword
Avisch at 8:26 pm on January 7th, 2007
Wow I can’t believe I forgot this was premiering today. I haven’t watched all of the original series. But I’m wondering what they’ll do differently in this version.
age at 8:44 pm on January 7th, 2007
only the last episode will be totally new
Mike at 9:29 pm on January 7th, 2007
wow!! i hope the ending would still be the same. T_T

Aishiteru at 10:26 pm on January 7th, 2007
Well, first ep seems like a summary of what happen from the original Shuffle! hm? Quite a rough summary IMO. Still, this is only ep. 1 so we haven’t seen the best part of it yet.
