Premise
On an April night in Tokyo, still too early for fireworks, university student Kakeru Mano meets a woman named Koharu Fuyutsuki. She is a beautiful girl who stands out from the crowd, laughs a lot, and exudes a warmth that contrasts sharply with Kakeru's own introversion. But there was something Kakeru didn't know at first—she can't see. Unlike Kakeru, Koharu hasn't given up on anything, even with her blindness. She attends university daily, shows interest in clubs, makes friends—and dreams of launching fireworks one day. Kakeru wonders why, when she can't see them...but maybe it doesn't matter. And maybe he can start moving forward, too, for the girl who's always been by his side.

What to expect
If you're someone who slots dramatic register shows on principle, Toumei na Yoru ni Kakeru Kimi to, Me ni Mienai Koi wo Shita. is an automatic add to the first-three-episode try-list. If the light novel resonates with you, that doubles the case.
What to watch for in week one: animation density of episode one (premieres usually peak there — does episode two hold?), how the Makaria team handles the first big set piece, and whether the OP/ED give the show a sonic identity beyond the source's existing fan signaling.
Slot it for the first three episodes. If the production's holding by week three, you've got a season-runner.
