Everyone seems to mention Lelouch, THEN Shizuo and Izaya, but let's not forget that Jun Fukuyama is also Shinra.

Anyway, this looks like this'll be a decent, pleasant show. I wasn't actually planning to pick this up, but I will, now that I've heard the cast.

Well that was entertaining and some of the jokes worked really well for me....like the old age one=>
and this one=>
. Going to a restaurant like that IRL would be the surprise of my life but Todoroki would scare me off of not paying with that katana of hers and I am almost sure it was her who went to collect the money of those goons that bullied Popura which reminds me that she is the loli of this show.....what bothers me about her is her ponytail.....it cute but vastly big as in volume and a little length=>
. Kyouko has a incredible age complex of being called.....Jun looks someone from One Piece last time I decided to check out some characters.....Inami clearly has a male complex...I have all hope in Takanashi to cure her thing is I got annoyed at people getting his name wrong...it just confused me a little at some times. So it's GIF time but the Working emblem bothers me in them....oh well promotion is promotion I suppose....Based on people's comments the 2 best GIF moments are surely those adn you can't deny that=>

the other ones are of Taneshima since I like her hyper parts=>
Yes you are a lolicon don't deny it Souta after having captured his words here=>
Overall this will be good with K-ON second season....soon watching first season....just got BR of it :P

Takanashi is totally not a lolicon... he's just a minicon. Obviously.
Obviously you forgot that logically a minicon likes only things other than humans......he is therefore a lolicon also....read the spoiler part of what he says.
Wasabi said:
I think the character that has left the biggest impression on me so far is the assistant manager. She's just lawlz and full of tricks up her sleeve.
Yeah that I will agree with you and same here.
Wasabi said:
I'm assuming this is one of those pre-release episodes... so when does the anime start to air regularly?

it said 4/4 which I assume 4th month and 4th day........which is a Sunday.

From watching Popura's ponytail, I almost envision a feeling as groping someone's breasts. The shape and density portrayed seems strangely arousing.

I think I'm alone on that one although my description is exaggerating a bit.

My first impression of the first episode was that it was a pretty cool show. Just another cute girl comedy show that I can watch in peace. I will admit, I hadn't even heard of this show until I went and watched the first episode, so I suppose it's mostly my fault for not knowing what was going to happen, but anyway...

I got a bit worried when a main guy was introduced, but I figured it would just be a funny little harem instead. I believe it was around the time that the manager started beating up those guys who harassed the main girl that I realized the show wasn't going to be an enjoyable cliche harem comedy, but instead an unenjoyable cliche harem comedy, but I still had hope!

Until of course we got the initially weak-appearing shy girl who beats the crap out of the main guy. That's when I realized that this show would never have any redeeming qualities and that I had to alert the internet as soon as possible of how much I dislike it.

Now, I have no problem with other people who do enjoy this show, lord only knows what kinds of horrible things I've enjoyed that even the people who enjoy THIS show would hate. But I just can't stand to see another anime that tries to pass itself off as a comedy because it has violent female characters.

Now I know what you may be thinking, "Uniju, are you saying that men are allowed to be violent but not women?", well no I'm not saying that. But the kinds of violent female characters that you see in these shows always seem to give off one of two messages; either that it is unusual for women to be strong and as such absolutely hilarious when you see a women that is strong, or that women are all animalistic barbarians who make decisions solely on their emotions.

Both of these are sexist and I don't like either of them. I'm tired of seeing every other anime-- No, every other movie or comic book or anything else at this point, try to pass off violent women as humor.
Feeling down? You may already be a charge target.

"It's a man. He might be armed.".. Does she not realize the girl she's hiding behind is carrying a sword-sheath (it hasn't been drawn yet), with her work uniform, and the assistant manager is capable of kicking customers into a knockback.

Something that I just couldn't ignore was that Satou-san looked likea lot like Sanji.


Definately gave off a 'Sanji' vibe. Though he doesn't look like the type to go gaga over anything that looks female

The humor is set up well for the show. Looks like it's going to be good.

I think the characters are a little too "quirky for the sake of quirkiness," but overall I enjoyed the episode. There's a lot of comedic potential for a series set in a restaurant. Plus, you get to hear Ono (Shizuo) and Kamiya (Izaya) banter with each other in another series, which I'm sure will be good times. They should definitely work together more often.

It sounds like it brought back some bad memories of child abuse or some kind of metal trauma. I usually bitch about anime but this was ok. Sure, the "slapstick" character may seem meh-ish but I can't see this being a "cliche harem" the way you are putting it. The atmosphere feels different or maybe that's what the director wants you to think?

Fuck it. We'll see...

I do not have any respect for your opinion anymore. If you think this is a harem then you are surely mistaken. There are 3 guys and 4 girls (including the manager) this is no different than animes such as Toradora in that regard. This is also not sexist at all. Do you see anywhere a guy saying that guys are better or smarter than women? No, you do not.

Seems I'm relatively alone in this, but I really didn't enjoy that at all. A few of the minicon jokes and such got a little bit of a laugh, but it's mostly overexaggerated characters and quirks grating on my nerves. I know loud and bright is sort of anime's thing, but it just isn't working for me. The characters don't give me a cute or heartwarming feeling, and there's nothing to the writing beyond letting the personalities bounce off each other.

I almost always give a show two episodes, but I think I'm done with this. It's far from horrible, but I've rarely been less entertained.

I didn't particularly like it; too much didn't happen, too little decent comic relief and just seemed like more catering to moe/loli fans.
