It was overall, a very... ummm... unique experience.
I can see this will be a show about the first forays into sex from a inexperienced couple point of view.
The episode itself was done rather well.

The saliva kind of turns me off this show a little though...

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Haha, I find it funny that I actually cringed during the scene where Akira first tasted the drool. I thought I'd be too numb to react to something like that.
I guess it was the way it was executed that made it so effective.

Anyway, I liked the animation. I'm curious to see where the story goes from here.

Tbh, I found it reaallllllyy weird but, yeah- this is unique. Needs to be given a shot :O

Also- this is the perfect anime if you have a drool-fetish.

Sooo.. Basically this show is going to focus on the both having sex. I won't expect too much...

I really liked the music and especially the art! It reminds me of some classics like Ranma and stuff.
Though it mostly focussed on sex, I liked that it showed no signs of fanservice. And there's also no typical Anime Bullshit, like girls with green and yellow and pink hair...
And it had some funny parts.

But the whole saliva thing seemed pretty fucked up and so did his dreams. Dancing on Times Square with sinks and toilets in the background is kinda... Well..
The description of Urabe seemed really cool, but I don't like her voice. Her sudden laughing is annoying.
The male lead is quite okay, I think.

BTW it didn't look like he was 'accidentaly' tasting her drool, like the description says :D

Let's see..

Holy fuck this is one weird ass anime. But it's surprisingly well done despite the crap studio and newbie actress. That actress, has a lot of potential to become an amazing legend. Sort of like Rie. Except this one doesn't specialize in tsunderes. Seems her voice is perfect for queer characters.

Umm.. There are people talking about sex.

Have to say, you shouldn't expect sex around here. It's nowhere close to that.
Actually we're having a tough time so far in the manga just to see them kiss each other.
It doesn't seem like the first kiss will come anytime soon though.

This is solely about drool. I cannot relate it to sex at all.

The art style seems different from the usual, anyway I like that it's different. Weird and different things are becoming interesting as of late, or maybe it's just me.

I don't read the manga but yeah all that sex partner thing Urabe was talking about was just crushed in my mind when I saw all the sleeping and drooling characters in the ED. T_T

Nice first episode

I read the manga and I really like that they kept the art-style. The colours they use give a very romantic and high quality feeling to the animation.

The only thing that bothers me is the VA for Urabe. I had another kind of voice in mind for her, guess I will have to get used to it

Dafuq did I just watch? o_O

Urabe is such an... interesting character. What a weirdo indeed. Not tha Akira is any more normal. Tasting saliva... ewww, what a fetish. You can so easily get sick that way, which of course happened. In the end it seems to be a withdrawal symptom of lovesickness? Which means he'll have to keep tasting it? Wat?! D:

She really has some sort of excess saliva problem. She throws up spit and then they go talking about sex. This show has some weird shit going on. xD

Very old school art this series has too. Reminded me of some of the older '90's anime. I don't quite know what to think of this yet, but it's interesting nonetheless. =P

That old school art style combined with modern animation techniques... all right, I'm totally digging it. I like how it's not overly generic, has believable characters, and actually something IS happening. There's no betsu ni bullshit, no love triangles, no any of those annoying traits so popularized in anime these days. And even though that whole saliva withdrawal symptoms is no less strange than the premise of Upotte! - I have to say that I enjoyed this episode thoroughly and cannot wait for the next one.

5/5 - and for Haruhi's sake, may this series get better not worse over time...

This season really is exceptionally good, huh?

The funniest thing about that laughing scene is the delayed joke tied to it.

Later, Urabe admits that when she fell over laughing she had a mental thought that told her that she was going to have sex with Akira.

The funniest part is that Akira didn't realize she was laughing at the absurdity of that internal mental thought. he was too busy being shocked at her admitting her thoughts so bluntly.

THAT in itself was hilarious.

Just when I thought she couldn't get any weirder.. playing with drool and stuff.. her massive saliva overflow was at another level, totally didn't expect that.

The confession part was interesting, nice choice of background music.

I'm surprised this one even got animated seeing the subject and handling. But it was as good as the manga, in a weird way. And Hasegawa's music really add to the overall atmosphere.

It seems that my stomach can handle the show so far, I'll continue to watch it. First episode was good, I liked the references in the background, and the visuals remind me of older anime, but in a good way, I don't dislike the character design. Last season we had Misaki Mei, now we have Urabe Mikoto, I'm okay with this. It's also nice to have the couple by end of the first episode, refreshing. 4/5.

Edit: Enjoyed the ED, the year is really strong ending song-wise so far. If only the OPs were half as good...

I checked out of the manga just as quick as a checked in a few years ago as I was grossed out straight away (I'm actually really squeamish when it comes to body seepage that isn't blood for some reason - no matter what the setting - drool, runny nose), though I went into this and braced myself and I'm greatful it's not so bad now - hopefully I won't need to watch with a bucket.

Anyway...
The story is interesting and I like the characters.
The forwardness of a emediate relationship is something we don't see too often.
I like how the leading males dream simply focused on spending time with the girl and I like the female dipping in and out of the common stoic girl and showing us that she's also a rare sensible girl (though thisn is only ep' one), I'm also interested in what she's hiding and I like the voice - it's lovely.

The fuck i just watched?
Old school artstyle is pretty refreshing, so is the different from all heroine. But this saliva stuff isn't too fun to watch, also it's animated in pretty disgusting way - i'd rather watch hentai with buckets of cum because this looks so much more disgusting.

Also when Mikoto said Akira is the 1st person to have sex with her, i couldn't stop laughing imagining the moment they both drown in her saliva while having sex. Please animate it.

Ther is this strange vibe to this anime but its not bad, on the contrary its good, very good.
Absorbing, amusing just plesant to watch (or am I mad ? heh ?).
Of corse there are WTF moments but if you can deal with them you are good to go.
Anyway that puke of happines was epic. Made me hungry. Gonna go eat something now.

I really think they got the PERFECT voice actor for Urabe. I was hoping they wouldn't make her too much like Yuki Nagato and they didn't! She is her own unique character and the producers did a great job adapting her from the manga. I do wish they had recreated the dream sequence the way it was depicted in the manga, though. Other than that...9/10.

THAT'S COOL! Yeah I am down, especially if they can change the nose bleed FAD to saliva overflow FAD. So to speak. Still think only BDs will have that if they do it and it will be censored but by all means I want to see this.

I'm a fan of the manga so I am DEFINITELY biased, having read much more than the first chapter, which is, I admit, very hard to get past due to the grossness.

Getting past the grossness (vomiting drool... :/ ) I loved everything about the first episode. I think the production team did a good job adapting the manga. Good music (the carnival music!), good animation, good voices. Urabe's voice in particular caught my attention. Not many main girls have a low, slightly husky voice, but it fit her character completely.
I have high hopes for MGX!

Okay, that was madness. I think I've just met my favourite character for the season. And what a great new seiyuu. I know it's only a single episode but I'm impressed with her performance. I have no clue where this is going but it looks like it'll be a ride.
