My thoughts exactly, minus "I liked it" part.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

Decided to watch this since there's a possibility of a remake and to see if this is genuinely good or just nostalgiafags overpraising this series (so far based on this episode it seems it's the latter).

The last 6 mins made me not "hate" this episode but I still disliked it 2/5.

So far the OST is the only thing I like from this.

BUT this anime have what I dislike the most in anime : the tipical young boy with many girl who want to kiss him for no reason, but instead of enjoying it he's like "Oh my god these girl wanna have sex with me, life is unfair D:".
It's so stupid, why a teeager would react like that >.< ??


Well, he's not a teenager. He's 12. There are twelve-year-olds who haven't grown out of that phase yet.

Honestly the weirdest part of this anime so far is the fact that a seventeen year old is cheating on her boyfriend with his twelve year old brother.

It's not nice to generalize my friend.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

A lot of random events. Episode is ok, but I can already tell this is going to be another overrated show that too many give undeserving 10/10. LOL at people rating episode 1 10/10 when you don't know a damn thing about the series. Then again, this is the same community that has FMA: listed as #1.

I'm actually quite relieved seeing that I'm not the only one with a "WTF" feeling.

It's simply...undescribable. But the girls are appealing! I mean, in a different manner than any other anime girls.

I liked it, but I hope there ends up being a point to all the weirdness. In other words, I hope that, by the end of the series, I understand what the heck was going on and it doesn't just turn out to be nonsense for the sake of nonsense.

Well, now that I know about the so-called "symbolism", I thought I might rewatch the show and see if I actually like it this time.

Pretty damn unfunny so far. Hoping it gets better.

Wow, that was quite the mindfuck. I really had to pay a lot of attention to the subs, especially when it went all manga and it was going super fast and there were so many variations and plays on words. Was interesting, though, to be sure.

All my thoughts right there.

I kept thinking the artstyle reminded me of something, and after being done with the episode I realized it's really similiar to Avatar's.

it's been years since i last watched this and it's still as insane as i can remember.
good kind of insane. i don't know exactly why all the characters here are so endearing to me. i was afraid i would start disliking mamimi but so far so good.
people talk about symbolism and randomness but i think this anime is not really that deep, it's just so damn entertaining you just can't stop watching even though it doesn't really make sense.
anyway, still my favourite. <3

And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

So random and ... well, this kind of humor does not seem fun to me.
Does a robot just come out of your head? And then he says that everything is ORDINARY?

Personally, my opinion, my analysis of this anime is as it was said in Naota's view ("ordinary"). Therefore, the resulting sequence of the plot is very cynical, but crudely amusing. He has to deal with his brother's insecure and sexually frustrated girlfriend, who is very hesitant and even insinuated that he has no home (skeptical with this yet); A childish and unreasonable father who questions his son (the worst father of all time); And classmates who are just nosy and idiot - easily irritable and unrefined; Last but not least, a random alien out of nowhere. I have to give praise for the animated power of this anime (similar to many works by Gainax), however, the themes are still not concrete enough, so I see it. 5 more episodes to get the potential of this anime. And a very good soundtrack!

[✓] Good art
[✓] Good animation
[✓] Good music
[✓] Good Ending
[✓] Interesting characters
[✓] Interesting / Original History

The protagonist reminded me of the antagonist of mousou dairinin (Shonen bat) is similar to XD.---------------------------------------------------




Tan aleatorio y... bueno de echo este tipo de humor no me parece divertido.
¿un robot acaba de salir de su cabeza? ¿Y entonces él dice que todo ES ORDINARIO?

Personalmente, mi opinión, mi análisis de este anime es como se dijo en el punto de vista de Naota("ordinario"). Por lo tanto, la secuencia resultante de la trama es muy cínica, pero crudamente divertida. Tiene que lidiar con la novia insegura y sexualmente frustrada de su hermano, que es muy indecisa e incluso insinuó que no tiene hogar (escéptico con esto todavía); Un padre infantil y irrazonable que cuestiona a su hijo (el peor padre de todos los tiempos); Y los compañeros de clase que son sólo nosy y idiota - fácilmente irritable y sin refinar; Último pero no menos importante, un alien aleatorio de la nada. Tengo que dar alabanzas por el poder animado de este anime (similar a muchas obras de Gainax), sin embargo, los temas todavía no son lo suficientemente concretos, por lo que yo lo veo. 5 episodios más para sacar el potencial de este anime. y una banda sonora muy buena!

[✓] Buen arte
[✓] Buena animación
[✓] Buena música
[✓] Buen Final
[✓] Interesantes personajes
[✓] Historia interesante/Original

El prota me recordó al antagonista de mousou dairinin(Shonen bat) es parecido XD.
The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.

I liked the first episode. It was a bit confusing, but I'm hoping that the plot comes together as I continue to watch! The animation was great. I want to learn more about the MC's definition of ordinary ad what role the brother plays in this.

Haruko's introduction is probably my favorite of all time for any character, she just comes with such an impact and everything is perfect, the song, the faces Mamimi makes, the jokes ("stop the native girl!", "demo, Taro-kun janakute...")! I always watch it every once in a while.

I'm rewatching this before the new seasons are released.
I think it's been... a good 12 years since I've first watched this?
I'm a huge fan of the incredibly fast pace and reading-in-between lines, so I always enjoyed this one.
