Full Moon Wo Sagashite - Ep 1

I am very much liking this one! Even after the first episode I'm hooked, it is extremely sweet and cute. It follows basically the information I posted before:

Mitsuki is a 12-year-old with throat cancer and all she wants to do is sing, but can't because of the pain. One day she's visited by two Shinigami (Gods of death) and she can see them (they say that only humans who are dead can) and they slip up and tell her she only has a year to live.

So, deciding that if that's all the time she has, it's better to live then do nothing, she sneaks out of the house to go to an audition. As she's attempting to climb up a drain pipe to go in the window instead of going in the front door, one of the Shinigami, Takuto, asks her why she doesn't just go in the front. When she tells him that it's because she doesn't look sixteen (and gets weepy a bit on them) he takes a drop of his blood (ew) and turns it into a pill which she swallows. On his command it turns her into a 16-year-old (and she has him turn her hair blonde for some reason...psha! I liked her better as a brunette) and of course, she goes inside and nails the audition.

The voice acting is great, I love the music (It's very J-poppy, and suits the show well) and the animation is very colorful and clear. So far I like this one a lot, on to the next episode!
