Well that was kinda amusing. I swear, one the guys talked way too fast.

The mood feels somewhat like GJ-Club with more brighter colors. Wait, did I hear a heart go doki doki? Flag raised. Overall, I think this might be fun. The comedy hasn't hit the right angles though imo.

Was an amusing start. Looking forward to the next episode.

I've watched only 2 episodes of GJ-Club, but it kinda gives off the same feeling.

Bleh, not my favored sense of humor. The MC(dude) is nothing but a very dull ordinary boy.

Jokes might have been funny if he was like Shinpachi / Kazama Kenji throwing tsukomi's on the girls that actually have character.
 

I hope the plot goes further into the "Jinsei Soudan" part like SKET Dance did and actually save the Jinsei's of the students. But I doubt that'll happen and the plot will stick to regular ecchi, half/assed love comedy buhi buhi-ness. No expectation but Ill continue this if I can.

Basically its your typical gaggle of girls who gather around Mr. MC Betasworth Averageson. Otherwise, the premise says it all.

Many new voice actors, and it shows a little, but it's not a bad thing for a series like this.

It's got some light humor. I liked the rail gun reference, lol.

I won't be watching because it was honestly too boring for me.

Mod Edit: Removed comments about a certain fansub.

MC is so darn boring :/
Would be far better if he at least made some tsukomi or something. He doesn't fit into a comedy at all.

That lowered my enjoyment of the humour.

I literally just finished Gj-Bu earlier today and I'm not the only one who felt the same vibe from this anime. I noticed the ecchi tag from this anime but they already went to a fanservice wet T-shirt scene. That was freaking fast. Not the best first episode since it went a random direction then sped up to a romantic moment at the last scene (pretty sure this ship has sailed already) but I'll continue to watch this.

Btw, the first girl in the anime looks almost like Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats! and Izumi Suzuki looks like Rin Natsume from Little Busters!

is it just me or was the water balloon fight supposed to lead up to a sexual joke....
"the one who gets the most wet loses",
after Ikumi finished playing with Fumi's boobs, she says shes been defeated,
if it was, then omg wtf amazing joke, slightly messed up but good.

Rewatched the episode with different subs, in my inexperience with the japanese language, I failed to pick up on the mentioning of Rino, showing the joke was about breast size rather than.....a certain sexual reference..... slightly disappoint.

GJ-bu vibes all over, while the male MC in GJ-bu was not great he was not boring, had his own personality and quirks about him.
Our male MC here is... boring.

But I guess I'll keep watching...

That was quite amusing ^^ Mao sitting on top of the jenga tower!
The advices they give from 3 entirely different perspective xD
Ikumi reminds me of Rin a little, with a similar look and throwing pitches!
That water balloon fight and those dodges!
Yuuki able to read that fast, I just had to stop the video thinking that it would be gone in an instant.
Rino being extremely hard to talk to at the shrine!
That purple alien like mascot O.o

When I saw Mao in the opening minutes I thought "ooh is this going to be like GJ-bu?" Alas, tis not. Comedy fell flat. The male character was dull...really dull. Kyoro looked average but he was funny.

Maybe the jokes were lost in translation? I can only understand a bit of Japanese but even I can tell it was poorly translated. Props to the subbers' efforts though. I'll wait for another subbing group to pick this up. Will re-watch but if it's not much different from this one then this will probably be the first drop of the season.

The idea of the series itself was good, but the result was pretty much average.

Kinda felt like GJ-bu and i don't have any problems with that, but the comedy was rather weak.

Hope the series will get better despite the slow start, it has the potential to do so.

Normally, I love this type of plot (most of my fav anime tend to be involve some HS club and are comedies) and would do anything to watch anime like this, but I found it to very weak comedy-wise. Most scenes were forced, though the animation was nice. The OP is average.

I am still wondering why Mao appeared. Are the artists of these two light novels related or something?

Been a while I have been this bored from a comedy... This can't be compared to Gj-bu at all, Gj-bu is a gem as compared to this average anime. Sure, Gj-bu didn't become one of my favorite anime forever till I watched 3/4 of it, bu even if you compare the first episodes of both shows, Gj-bu one was 10x better.

5/10, even me being a fan of these types of show didn't help much. I might watch it once it ends, but only if I read some good comments and reviews about this. For now, I am dropping it.

Yeah... at least the main male character looks different from your typical ones... well... at least he isn't stereotypical I guess lol.

Isn't that Mao from GJ-bu on top of the... hehe...

Oh look, Rin/Riko from Little Busters/Kiss x Sis is also here lol.

Yuuki can really read fast...

Now that's some Matrix shit I'm seeing from Ikumi lol.

So calling her Rino made her skip a beat huh.

LOL, revenge for the secret arts of communication XD.

Fell short of expectations, and I wasn't even expecting much. Pretty much what everyone else has said, comedy fell flat, MC has no presence at all, uninteresting characters with sub-par writing that wasn't able to bring them to life. Disappointed with the requests and the solutions they came up with, the little potential that the premise had felt wasted. Felt too random, and not in a good way either.

On an even more subjective note, I was completely uninspired by the seiyu's for Rino and Fumi. They weren't bad at all, and they probably did their best with the lines given to them, but it didn't feel like they were able to build their character's identity with their voice at all. idk, I might just be crazy :p

The one thing I did like in this episode was the water balloon fight where Ikumi went into badass mode. Holy god that was awesome. Part of me wants to see more of that even though it'll be shamelessly obvious recycling... Oh, and the OP was actually pretty nice too.

3/5 I'll give it another chance before I drop.

Well a decent episode overall,I liked to see the little Mao in the start.

It feels like GJ-bu but GJ-bu is like x10 times better.
(The MC in GJ-bu was a lot more funny and entertaining then the one in Jinsei the MC in Jinsei is just boring in my book.)

I dont like the Yuuki x Rino thing,I just dont like it.

Well I will check out a few more episodes and I will see schould I watch or drop this anime.

I expected something a bit more fun... maybe some jokes were lost in the fansub... I think it has nice art/animation and even the characters are well drawn despite their similarities to other anime characters... oh well, hopefully Crunchyroll gets it...

Looks like this will be an anime full of dialogue.

Holy... the four of them pretty much talked nonstop yet I felt like they said nothing at all.
This situation is probably worse than an anime where the characters hardly talk.

One of the worst first episodes this season but unlike the rest of them this feels like it will do nothing to improve itself.

The glasses couple is the most promising thing I see right now but I doubt they'll pursue a relationship- so this s a pass for me.

A show that is based on verbal humour needs an excellent set of translators. Although I appreciate the work of the fansubbers who handled this, that will be a real problem for this anime unless something changes. I thought there might be some chemistry between the mc and Science club girl, but it was difficult to know for sure. Will watch at least a couple more episodes to give it a chance.

Pretty energetic OP and ED (though we didn't catch much of it). Water balloon fight ... fanservice already? :P Then having trouble talking with people and getting club members ... which somehow gets people in a date. Things sure are moving quickly! XD Not sure if I feel the chemistry between the science girl and MC yet, but we'll see. Hopefully they can keep this show interesting :3
