A strong start. Good music, animation, storyline.

Only disappointment was the teen love interest. Always a teen. Boring.

I'm confused about one thing. Why does he think she's a nun?

Because her Auntie is part of the Religious group and the first time he saw her is when she and her Auntie are doing Religious group tasks which is handling the pamphlets.
So makes him think that she is actually part of the Religious group such as nuns and priests.

Just started watching. I hadn't expected to like it, but I was blown away by the first episode. Should be a possible ten.

Very interesting. The beginning was a bit delusional and I didn't really get it, but after that it got more serious and I was blown away. =)

A very good start. I like the animation and the storyline seems interesting. I had heard a lot about this anime and had high expectations from it; I'm happy that the first episode didn't disappoint me at all.

The first episode is really big into the paranoia bit, we see a lot of it here. You really get thrown in, I was really impressed, you kind of don't know what to expect from there on out, but this gives us a good idea of who Satou is and what his life is about. I love the animation and the music so far, and meeting Misaki at the end...looks like some crazy stuff is in store for him.

This is true.

But still. This is so wonderful. It's so music driven it's like the first starting ep that I actually like in a really positive way. I'd thought this would be more depressing or something.

Even BECK isn't this music driven and that show is about music.

Great series so far, from what I read on the novel, the plot is different, but so far it's interesting enough.

I keep having the feeling that this show is going to drag on, though. Because it seems Sato is already getting better in dealing with people(I'm on episode 9 btw). Looks like this could have been resolved in about 13-14 episodes.

But hey, I'll just have to see for myself.

Certainly a unique and funny show, even though the subject matter is dark and slightly depressing.

Definitely a pretty cool first episode, I really liked that song when he went in search for a job, walking down the stairs. So far looks interesting, although that ending theme is very random.

The strong side of this series is music! Puri-puring song is gorgeous, I really loved it. Also the opening, the ending and the guitar songs (when Sato is trying to get a job) are songs are worthy of respect.

I loved it. Love the Ed...I found the show to be realistic in some ways, with how he argued with himself and how he was paranoid, etc, or maybe i'm just weird. The story is refreshing and i love Sato. I can relate in some way. His late reaction was hilarious, when he broke the bottle. Can't wait for the next episode!

Suprised that there's such an anime out there o.o

also, I like how they describe the depressions and isolation of unemployed youngsters, there's so much truth in it.
Everyone is just bragging about money and wasting time, being lazy - but, as Satou said, if he could change his situation easily by praying, he would be much happier.
That's something most people seem to not understand...

On the other hand, it's kinda weird and silly, that blue thingy singing the ending reminded me of Otto Waalkes =) would be a lovely german voice actor xD

1. The protagonist is not a moral retard: Check!
2. The protagonist drinks and smokes: Check!
3. The protagonist does not go to highschool: Check!

These facts alone, making it have the potential to be epic!

That is possibly the most abnormal ED I have ever heard.

Seems interesting. The animation seemed a bit inconsistent to me (messy as Misaki was walking towards Satou in the park), although that might have been the video file I was watching.

Pretty good so far. I'm interested to see how the protagonist is going to grow up.
That is, assuming there isn't actually a conspiracy. xD
