THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I found this weird. She likes a guy who treats her like crap but hangs out with guys who look like punks but are pretty nice. Well I guess that's shoujo for you aye? lol I'll check out episode 2 to see if I'll stick with this. Btw, aren't the background characters nearly as freaky as the shadowed people from Okawari? lol |

Excuse me while I get fangirly for a bit. This has been one of my very favorite manga series for years now, and I also really loved both live action adaptations of it, so I was really excited to hear it was going to be animated :) I really enjoyed ep 1, it was reasonably faithful to the manga~ I am still trying to get used to the character designs though. This is funny because they are actually much 'prettier' than the manga artwork which has a very unique style which may seem kind of scary. However, even though the character designs are rather different, every once in a while there is some aspect that really reflects the manga style. It is most noticeable in the eyecatch, but it happens here and there. It's hard to describe :D Yes, Irie starts out as an asshole. Part of the fun is seeing if he can learn not to be :) Episode 2 has crossdressing... hohohoho I picked up the artbook for the manga not too long ago, and it has some really cute illustrations. like this one- Ok, I am done fangirling for now, at least until episode 2 :D |

And I think Kin-chan's voice actor did a really good job too, haha. The guy is crazy. And the mom is so crazy, I love her. ^^I really enjoyed ep 1, it was reasonably faithful to the manga~ I am still trying to get used to the character designs though.

It was quite clear by the time the father mentioned they were staying at his friends place who she would have to live with. Liked the episode but I have to get over the fact that Hirakawa Daisuke is voicing the male lead, I don't like his voice. |

It was alright, probably the best new show I've seen so far this season (sequels aside). The plot seems interesting enough to keep following the series, I'm not a huge fan of the old-school shoujo art style though. 世界は美しくなんかない。 そしてそれ故に、美しい |

I enjoyed the first ep. Giving me LovCom vibes atm, which is a good thing. Hope it can live up to or surpass those expectations. |

Looks promising for comedy at least. I give them props for attempting the old school style but it's not my cup of tea. |

Just exactly what I was thinking while watching the epi - LovCom- Guess it's the anime style? The uncomplex character rendering? tonikaku, I've got room for a romance. |

umm, personally, i look at animation quality before anything else, and... this reminds me of stuff that came out 5-7 years ago... the story line isn't bad... but the old character designs kinda throws me off a bit... |

I liked it quite a bit. ^^ The animation took me a moment to get used to, but I ended up rather liking it towards the end. Kotoko's already grown on me. Her reactions are adorable. Kin-chan is pretty awesome too. He's seems like such a sweet guy. Anyway, I can't wait for the next episode~ |

I found it to be pretty enjoyable. The characters and the comedy were quite engaging. It's going to be interesting to see how Kotoko and Naoki grow from here. |

Despite his being a jerk, I like Irie. Looking forward to seeing how his character develops. |

Character design isn't what I like, though the thing itself seems interesting. Would like to see it develop =3 |
