I didn't think much about it at first but the second part happened to be pretty enjoyable. Let's see how this goes on.

This show is really predictable, but it has a wonderful feel to it. I can sense something really promising here :) I just adore the characters and their personalities. It's so heartwarming; I love it!

4/5 - Too cliche at times for my tastes, but it was still awesome.

the voices sounded so different in this to other anime and the art was also so different it seems cheap and tacky tho i think tht makes it a little bit more adorable the humour is laid on thick just how i like a rom com to be

I was thinking that as well, except the two protagonists' heights have switched though. I'm really interested to see how it continues as well.

Interesting first episode, very fast paced slapstick, it really flew by. Otani and Koizumi get along so well, so did Chiharu and Suzuki. The pool scene reminded me of School Days for some funky reason. This lighthearted comedy is a nice change of pace for me.

Wah, all the love triangles that were sketching for the future have been killed right in the egg xD

The story really remind me of Toradora.

The comedy is funny, even if it can get on the nerve at long.

It's super vanilla-yyy sweet innocence. I guess I should have expected this from a Shoujo anime?
Felt the manga was better, hope I get used to the character's voices soon.
It was alright, 3/5 and will continue to watch.

Cheesy level: 85/100 B+ Way above average in the cheesy department, I've seen some rated PG shows with less

Oh, yea that word did Koizumi say that was censored, =P that was the best part of the ep.

I had extremely high expectations for this show and...

These expectations have been met already! Excellent first episode. Great comedy, likable main leads, good music. The ED song is awesome too. This is going to be a fun ride! Thank you, based shoujo demographic.

Like my ultimate favourite anime (Nodame Cantabile), this show has a lot of funny, comedic faces which is always a plus when the comedy hits me. I took like 20 screenshots lol.

This was a first episode full of a lot of development. The story really moved. I wonder if the pacing will be like this throughout or if they just made a point to get to that scene with them on the rooftop. Either way I liked this episode and think I'm really gonna enjoy this series.

Animation resembles the old One Piece episodes, just around when it started airing. Must be because both are animated by Toei. The episode was average to me, hopefully things pick up soon.

Interesting show. The art is on the lackluster side so I won't bother fussing over that. I watched Kimi ni Todoke's which had similar to this show.

I'm liking Risa's character, she sure knows how to make me laugh. Especially at the end when she punched Atsushi and then he returns the punch to her xD
Such comedy duo.

Right now my friend is in the middle of a similar relationship. Her close friend is in love with her, but he's too small for her and her parents won't accept that. She also couldn't stand having all the eyes of people staring at them in the street. So they stayed just friends.
I really recommend this anime to you all;*


the parents suck then, if that's all the case.

LOL loved when Risa said "you have a **** right? then ur a man!" xD also liked when she punched him, noticed Risa blushed at Otani alot and he blushed only once

well this epsiode was OK but i still put as i liked it


hah, i found that part funny as well :D

5 centimeters per second sig :D that ending was one heck of a tease.

i must say i groaned inside when i saw the way it looked. it looks old, like something out of 2004. needless to say i'm not a fan of "old" looking anime. i was confused since it came from 2007 and i thought anime was better looking at this point. i brushed it aside, however. but seeing the comments it [i]is[/i] true, however. people DID expect more in 2007. so it looks like the company was being lazy.

everyone is saying how cleche it is but i find it unique (this could also be because i haven't seen a lot of shoujo). the boy and girl actually genuinely don't like each other - it's not some tsundere love-tension relationship. i really liked how they genuinely became friends afterwards and have no intentions of even thinking of each other as potential BFs and GFs. i really liked the humor, especially since i was really horrible let down my gekkan shoujo, i was in need of some un-boring comedy.

and i really like the personality and VC of haru, but more so on the VC. he really brings the personality of him to life.

Too much plot for one episode but I like it.

I like their MC names that short guy is called Ootani (Oo for big) while Tall girl is Koizumi (Ko for small) despite contradiction.

I know where this is going. Ootani and Koizumi will become couple. This is like another Toradora.

I kind of like Chizuru tho.

4.2/5

The comedy in this show is very funny XD

Lol, the explosion scenes were hilarious. I also liked the marionette part. It's pretty cute so far, I like how dorky/compatible their personalities are. I also like the idea of a tall girl being with a short guy. It's adorable. ^_^ So far, it's good. Let's see if it can keep up.

I've read the entire manga series years ago but am finally beginning to watch this now. And it was really well done! This episode was cute and funny, and the characters have a lot of good chemistry together. Of course, it doesn't escape some of the usual shoujo cliches but the Kansai-ben and the humorous dynamic, plus the gender-flipped height difference, between the two leads gives the series its own unique charm. Looks like this will be a fun show :)

The character personality and dialogues are all remnant of old style anime which is actually a very refreshing feeling and half of the reason why i did not get bored. The dialect makes it worthwile to watch this show. Usually i avoid romcom but this looks pretty good.Hope it doesn't disappoint. 7/10 pilot.

8 years later and I've returned to the first series I ever watched!

It's so different from anime today, especially the pace. LoveCom ep 1 feels like 5 episodes out of a series today. Oh how I miss the a good old-fashioned two-season series.

Why do I feel like a potential romantic plot for 6 or so episodes was needlessly butchered in just twenty minutes?

Rather mediocre start if I'm honest. Didn't get the decision behind the ridiculous fast pacing and though Koizumi and Ootani showed an interesting chemistry, their interactions throughout the episode felt mostly forced due to said pacing. A real shame but hopefully, the following episodes will be better directed.
Will need some time to get used to their characters' dialect, by the way.
