I'm totally impressed by that photographer, not many people could get themselves together fast enough to take those pictures ; )

I'm not impressed by her taste in men though

also, her grandfather is an inconsiderate, self absorbed a**hole.

Yep, judge characters based on just the first episode. But, yeah, Yawara's grand dad certainly doesn't give off the most favorable first impression.

Really, it was a decent first episode. It's kind of strange for something that was created by Urasawa to be so...cheery?

Seems alright, Urusawa can do no wrong so hopefully it will only get better.

Great start! I can see this getting really good. Needs a few more good side characters, and keep up the pace and wit!

Urahara Out!!

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Awesome artwork! Yawara's grandfather is just unbearable.

Pretty bad first episode. Not a single character I liked. Nothing "funny" either.

Jigorou is really annoying, he should let Yawara do whatever she wants to.
But she is also stupid if she falls in love with that type of boy.

It's just not very funny... and I'm not sure I want to see the MC get tortured by her controlling grandpa.

What the?! Jigorô is "lovely and cute", he's the greatest character (at least in this series). How can he be judged so vehement... oh wait, it's the internet. Of course.

I'm amazed by how pretty this TV show looks (will it last for 124eps?). The strong reinforcement of the comedic aspect (more "cartoonish" than the manga) isn't particularly welcomed though...


3/5 (A bit less enjoyable than the manga for now)

Hearing DBZ "Videl" as Yawara will take some getting used to.


New among my favourite eyecatches:

(This sounds like a series I would love.)

So this anime came to my attention because one of the pics was used as an image in a city pop playlist I was listening to, and here I am lol.

Just based off this episode, I have a feeling this will be an enjoyable watch. Yawara is a likable protagonist, her grandpa is funny, the humour is a bit slapstick, but enjoyable. Golly, those reporters got their arses beat! šŸ˜­

I sincerely hope the grandfather becomes less unlikeable character soon, thogh I guess the chances of that happening aren't that high in this type of anime. Currently he alone makes it near-unwatchable.
You all need to watch Nami.

After watching the premiere episode, I'm really impressed by the classic anime style- the 80s design, gentle colors- and already am in love with Yawara. Don't know about Jigoro, I don't like that old goat but you must respect his outlandish antics and determined spirit. Guess I'm in for the long haul on this classic slice of series.
