Wow, I'm so impressed, great beginning for a show I've not even waited for.
Great OP, dat accent, so hard to understand, very lively little girl and great scenery. Forget to mention catchy ED song too.
Looking forward to the next episode. It might be best show this season!

I like it!
For first time in forever , there is no moe and beeeewbs .

I like the part where the Calligraphy guy punched the Old Man. It was a satisfied feeling ever.

Let's learn calligraphy instead of learning "Trains" :P

I can already see the distinct possibility that this will be my anime of the season. Put a smile on my face from the first minute(ish) to the last. Looking forward to next week already!
The world’s not perfect, but it’s there for us trying the best it can. That’s what makes it so damn beautiful.

I didn't expect the punch at all! I felt bad for the old man, yet I didn't.

Cool OP!

I like the lead, his reactions are hilarious. I like the girl as well, she is energetic and lovable. I esp. love her voice, it has this unique feel to it which I normally don't hear in children voice (I think children voice is stereotyped most of time)

"Goro goro. A new technique." That was hilarious xD

She is so cute! I loved how she got her revenge. That swimming technique was pretty cool, now I want to try it out.

You know when life leaves you in a dump, turning to children can be really helpful. The sunset scene was beautiful..

Hina looks as cute as Naru. When she cried, I lost it, so damn hilarious.

Wow, great development right from the start. I like how he isn't a big tsundere or anything. He is honest.

I wanna scream HYPE HYPE HYPE. This is my kind of show! I am so glad that this is airing. This together with Haikyuu is gonna make my sundays better than ever!

This was perfect. Anime of the season is here! 11/10

I just knew someone would be watching him while he was doing calligrapy hahah

This is the best anime of this season and you can't persuade my otherwise.

I thought this was a cute watch, and it is certainly that. But it is so much more as well, definitely one of the series I'll be looking forward to episodes of the most this season. It is such a good feeling series.

Naru is the most adorable kid I've seen since Bunny Drop. Having her voiced by an actual child really helps make the character sound more realistic. I really wish Japan did this more, as far as is appropriate, of course.

I have more shows to watch this season,. but I can already see this becoming one of my top favorites. Everything about it just works.

Dear anime (or manga, LN, etc.), this is how you should make loli..! Not some moefied pseudo-horny teenager girl disguised as 9-year-old..
Quite ironic since this is made by the same studio who did the worst loli anime last season.

Not even surprised here, I know that this show is gonna be good even before this season started.

I think this show has the potential to be something really heart-warming and pleasant to watch but so far I'm not getting anything special out of it.

I'll give it time though.

Great start, really liked the characters and the setting.
Looking forward to seeing more.
I really want to hear the rest of the soundtrack, since it is being composed by Kenji Kawai. It ought to be good.
Looks like Kinema Citrus won't dissapoint us this time.

I think I found my "Relaxing Anime to calm me down before a hard day's work" of the season. Was a bit worried after the first half that Naru might be a bit too annoying to enjoy the show, but that was pretty much just making the viewer feel how the MC was feeling, and as the episode moved on Naru became more entertaining. Should make for a very nice show.

Also nice to see that the head teacher happens to be a Madao.

She is not a loli, she is a genuine kid, and i'm not speaking for just the seiyuu. Loli has such a stigma around it now that it's an insult to the character.

i dropped soredemo, kindaichi and baby steps because i didn't like them at all. never watched haikyuu but i do hear it was good.

oh, thats too bad then :/ i found all of them to be good or even better. haikyuu is really good, even a non-sports fan might like it. kindaichi is a great detective show so if you can get past the first case, it gets a lot better. when did you drop soredemo then?? : o


Neither my wife nor I are sports fans, yet Haikyu turned out to be a show we really look forward to seeing every week. (and given my poor penmanship, maybe I'll even learn a thing or two from Barakamon this summer) lol :)

Loved it from the beginning to the end, it made me smile so hard I really can't wait to have more. It feels like it's gonna do what Isshuukan Friends did in Spring, that is give me strong emotions as the show goes on and I grow more and more attached to the characters. It also look a lot of fine, even though it also has depth in its themes.

Great show...definitely no dropping. And lol at that ending....My first thought when the show started was the same, scary....lol. The sound effects felt like they were taken from a horror movie....and blood spattering everywhere, while the killer was laughing like crazy.....

Very cute! I also like that an actual child is voicing a child and not a 30 year old girl trying to voice a child.

Could this end up being Kinema Citrus' first decent series?!
