| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heaven finally descends upon me; what could be better than Mamiko Noto and Kimi ni Todoke together? I love the soft colors used and Mamiko Noto's voice. I love Yano and Yoshida's eyes more than ever and Mamiko Noto's voice. ... I wish I could say the same of Yano's over-emphasized lips, even though it makes sense. It never bothered me before but ehhhhh. I absolutely love the op, not too much of a fan of the ed even with chibi Sadakos, but a total fan of Mamiko Noto's voice. Sadako is so cute. <3 |

| watched the rwas, don't understand the whole story but it's soo cuteee! :) i bet this will be my fav serie for this fall :P hope so! |
| Even though shoujo is totally not my thing, I do get interested after first ep. especially for the amazing OP and ED. storywise its more or less the typical shoujo, beautiful innocent girl misunderstands the seemingly "all-perfect" boy. Anyway, I hope there will be surprises in the following episodes. |

| First time I thought an OP and/or ED felt too short. Personally, I like the ED more and for some reason, when I watched it, I couldn't stop thinking about Thumbelina, lol. The background music and color made the episode very mellow, which was nice. While I love chibi Sawako, it felt overused, but then again, that's probably how often chibi Sawako shows up in the manga too. This 1st episode and most likely the 2nd will be what I've read up to in the manga. So I'm really looking forward to what comes after. KnT will be my priority show this season for sure. I hope it's at least 24-26 episodes. |

| NAMIKAWA-san~~~! (Kazehaya-kun) It's nice that they follow manga. Kimi todo (キミトド)!! Nice Abbreviation!! |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Wow, they did a very good job on the first episode. The feeling and atmosphere of the anime fits perfectly with what I imagined, when I was reading the manga. I also love what they did with all the background, and how it's water colored. Makes it even more relaxing and funny to watch. |
| Ahh, I loved it! The manga is one of my favorites, so I knew the anime was going to be great too. I think they did a wonderful job of adapting it. It felt so wonderfully shoujo with all the pastel backgrounds, bright colors, flowers and sparkles :) I think all the voices fit well with the characters. I loved the OP! The ED is ok, but I am not a huge chara fan. I want a collector's DVD box for this series, like, NOW pls. :D |

| I dont mean to sound mean here but can we talk about the anime for those who watched (Story) rather than just the colors and animation . Aside from all that .... its pretty scary how well this has been adapted to the manga. My favorite part and i think was most well done was the "punishment" after the test of courage and how kazehaya didnt want to. They couldn't of ended this episode any better than the way they did. that picture is just too cute not to screen shot :-p |
| Are subs out? you are making me drooling XD~ |

| We will talked about story after the subbed out..*drooling* |

Lvhina said: I dont mean to sound mean here but can we talk about the anime for those who watched (Story) rather than just the colors and animation . Come on, be honest here. If we start talking about the story we'll bore ourselves (Let's see Sawako looks like she's from the ringThe Ring... ruminates about Kazehaya and how she always mumbling... volunteers for summer cleaning... Kazehaya noticed how she always volunteers for odd jobs... misunderstanding of how Kazehaya invented "sawayaka" (eloquence), which happens to be part of Sawako's name... more brooding... Volunteers to be the "ghost" in the Test of Courage... scares everyone except Kazehaya and those two girls I didn't happen to catch the names... Kazehaya tells Sawako how's she's now more open...some blushing... next day Kazehaya the loser get's a punishment game of going out with Sawako for a week... Kazehaya admonishes the class for treating a girl like this... Sawako talks up his good points to save his reputation... More brooding how he'll probably start avoiding her... Kazehaya gives her candy the class gave to her as an apology... talked about how he had feelings for her ever since they first met, and someday he'll reach her. Show's over, everone looks pissed.) Okay, the show's not that bad, but even I was bored after re-reading that. What usually makes the show are the intangibles that enhance the writing and story, no matter how simple and well-worn it is. |

| Who's subbing this ? |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |

| i am hope Frostii subs it , even though it might be slower than other group they have good editing |
| OMG! I LOVE THIS! Watched the raw, because I simply cannot wait for the dubbed version. One of the animes I've been waiting for this season. |
 Make me a Siggy? |
| I want subbed... :( Because i really love the OP & ED ! |
 |
| It was wonderful! Perfect! I can't wait for the subs! |
 |
| Oh geez, that was pretty awesome. Everything was adapted pretty well. The only part I'm picky about is the very ending with the flashback. I hope the people who didn't read the manga understands that it is all Kazehaya's own flashback and that he's not voicing out anything about that day towards Sawako :P The animation throughout the episode including the opening ending was pretty awesome. The scene when Sawako was crying and how the light hits on her and how her tears fell - all so beautifully done. Namikawa Daisuke's voice acting was better than I thought it would be, I was a little hesitant on him doing the voice of such an awesome character, I was so prepared to cringe everytime Kazehaya talked. But he was better than I thought! :D I'm loving the portrayal of Ayane Yano and Chizuru Yoshida - it doesn't even feel like I'm watching an anime adaptation, it feels like I'm just reading the manga! That's how great I think their portrayal was :P Also: Spoiler for manga |
| Such a cute, first episode. It really follows the manga smoothly.. though I hope they won't rush this too much towards the end, with only slated for 13 episodes? Haha, Chizuru and Ayane are just how I imagined them. I love the scenery scenes, and especially the scenes with the sakura trees. That smile.. |
| Eh, it was kind of cute I guess. Nothing really bold as far as the story goes. Sawako's narration also became slightly irksome by the end. Not necessarily the substance itself, just too much of that voice in one episode. The fact that it's not another fanservice anime alone makes me happy, because there are really too many of them this season and in general. Overall it's a bit generic (this type of story has just been done to death, even in western media) and not the type of anime I'd generally like anyway, but the production values were nice so I'll give it a few more eps maybe. |

Pretty common and pretty predictable. I can't even think of any really similar anime at the moment because I don't usually pay any attention to shoujo (Similar ones come to mind, though the girl is not usually as shy; as in Nodame Cantabile or even Ouran Host Club, I believe -ef- Memories as well?

| ya, subs out about half an hour ago definitely one of my favorites so far this season(although not much competition). the animation style was different but good, i liked the story, it wasnt predictable that much, it was pretty funny, and i thought the first episode was pretty well done to introduce the rest of the story. anyone else think it was weird that even her elemtary and middle school friend called her sadako not sawako |

hikky said: There can never be too much Mamiko.Not necessarily the substance itself, just too much of that voice in one episode. Anyways, I found this episode to be quite enjoyable. Just the right amount of fluff to balance the humor (which hasn't gotten old yet, but could I could easily get weary of the Ring jokes). Pacing seemed a bit rushed though. |

"Shouldn't" means a person in his position normally would not do so because of his social status relative to hers. That's why "shouldn't" was in quotes. That does not mean he "doesn't" or "can't" love her. |
| Not a bad first episode to be honest, the only thing that bugs me is the pace, it was very rushed the way they both met each other. Also I could care less if Mamiko spams all over the series MIKURU BEAM~, her voice is just lovely. Generic? Predictable? Who gives a shit if you find it entertaining? The comedy was quite subtle similar to Lovely Complex, which is not a bad thing but I hope it wont become later an eyesore for me, I don't have problem with the chibbi faces, but with the way they usually do it. Another good point from Kimi Ni Todoke is the way their relationship will build up, unlike Lovely Complex where both of the main character went to the extreme with their comedy, this one will be certainly more to the romantic way which I love from certain shows. |
Mikiyo said: the only thing that bugs me is the pace, it was very rushed the way they both met each other that was straight from chapter one of the manga and only chapter one ....in fact both started with the same intro and both ended with sawako's smile EDIT - SFW is in on subbing this too :-p |

| That was awesome, surprisingly funny. The characters are cool. Wonder how things will develop. |
 |
| that episode was one of the best manga to anime adaptions i've seen so far. The scene where Sawako was wiping her tears and then saw Kazehaya was done really well. I love reading what everyone else thought :) |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| This was one of the few this season I didn't expect to like... But surprisingly, I kind of liked it. That is, except for the animation. |
llamaben said: If you've read the manga, then you'll find that the animation is quite perfect for it. It gives off the same kind of feel, if not better than the manga.This was one of the few this season I didn't expect to like... But surprisingly, I kind of liked it. That is, except for the animation. |
| For me I read the manga so I'm already used to the artwork. So I found it looked beautiful throughout, had great music and the voices were great. LOVED IT. Absolutely LOVED IT! Best anime of the season so far for me! By a LARGE margin. I never wanted the ep to end! |
 |
| So far, this show has the best first episode of this season. And I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being on my Top 3 for this season (the other two being DtB and Kuuchuu Buranko). Oh, and I'm so glad to see Mamiko on a role that's suited for her voice. I'm so tired of seeing her on shitty fanservice shows. |
