They are all so cute. Chibi style pwns. *_*
But the ending was weird. Reminds me of old cartoons. But I fell in love with the hair coloring. It's so unique.

well, I finally picked up on the anime and my first impression of it was pretty good. The characters are indeed adorable and the animations is cool. I have yet to see were the story is going but so far so good.

Thought it was a decent little first episode.
That ending theme was amazing, though. I died when they said HA-PPY.

I quite liked this. I'll be continuing on.

Hand history steps animations also good, but the cgaracter design, it was not to my liking, too chibi style! So far the vote is low, I shall reserve to raise it in the case in which the plot becomes more interesting and even narration!

Wow this could be a hidden gem like Kamichu.
Hopefully I like it nearly as much.

Oh the animation and artstyle are great. Also that song was good, I want more singing like that in this anime.

Cute starting series overall Manabi is full of energy which I like and there anthem song was great. Love the character designs in here in their chibi form and the animation it was okay though it was created in 2007 so I'll get used to it.

Oh wow Ufotable in there clay animation credits, pretty amusing.

Pretty decent start I like how the characters are drawn gives them a great loli appearance! Let's see what this anime has to offer though the pace is a bit slow but the events are quite nice and lovely so let's see what happens next!

That ED was quite lovely as well, you don't really see much claymations or real life footage in ED's these days...

Awesome first episode and cute characters. The ED sounded pretty 80s which I liked a lot.

First thing that came to my mind is Haruhi .Manabi is as energetic as Haruhi ,eccentric and athletic as well .Kinda surprised her brother doesn't seem like her brother-just complete opposite .

Been a while seen I've seen a show with Yui Horie voicing the lead, she seems to be having fun as Manabi.

It's interesting to see this, being one of the anime Ufotable made before they made Kara no Kyoukai, Fate Endless Works, and Kimetsu.

Whoa, this anime is so moe and meta &++ I do appreciate the early to mid 2000s art of anime.

The character designs are cute too. I'm looking forward to what this brings
