Well, maybe the show is way too predictable and dragged out, but i enjoyed it for some reason.

I loved it very much. Especially, Haruka .. man, she's lovely. I was ready to give it a 10 after watching EP10 (i stopped there while waiting for ep12)

The ending's kinda ordinary to me and it didn't hit me that much. I hope it was more romantic. So I give it 9/10

Another romantic series that keeps me from smiling while watching it. I give love to Haruka (rated her #3 in my favorites)

As many people have said before me this episode and most of the one before this were pretty predictable. Although for a second I actually thought that Haruka and Yuuto were going to get it on. This series really did what it was supposed to do, make you laugh while also having a nice romance to go with it. My verdict 7/10, and I don't know if it's been announced or been decided but I would like to see more of this series.

The Shana ep (can't remember what ep) was priceless for me. Haruka in Shana cloth and Shakugan no Shana music at the convention (was it JOINT or Hishoku No Sora?) Even though it's the same basic romance template and you could mostly figure out everything before were gonna happen it still felt really great.

I still liked how they focused on anime/manga. Made the show feel a bit different and freash.

therefore I welcome a sequal with open arms!!

Damn predictable every episode, but fun till the end. At first I was thinking that her ojisan's random appearance was cause he might be the creator of Aki-chan thus his commoner look and why she loved anime so much (maybe playing on his relationship with Haruka before) then I remembered that Yuuto got her into it lol. I give it a 9/10 cause of the Mika group and Haruka-pure-ness.

Just saw this last episode RAW. Everything was pretty much predictable. So, you dont really need to watch this last episode, the ending is funny and might be a bit... not for minors XD


Such a cute episode. And there was nothing bad in the end. I don't know what hes talking about. You see a shot of her panties...OOOHHH! BADDD!!

This episode was the best in a while. Glad to see that rich boy get what was coming to him.

The series as a whole was predictable and Yuuto didn't have anything in particular that stood out. Giving the series a 5/10.

This show was basically saying "Buy Shana DVDs!" like how Lucky Star was "Buy Haruhi DVDs!" (Not that I mind because I love Shana)

and 80% of this show reminds me of Hayate no Gotoku. But is still worth watching. 8/10

Well, it was ok. The animation didn't suck as i much i thought at first and the strory was the same old ****. The most amusing characters were Harukas's Father and the two maids and of course Haruka lil sister who's already growed up in the mind.^^

let me just ask one thing .... u dont like Lucky Star n such right ?
(and to laugh u went into the basement ?) whatever ^^at first of ur misunderstandings .... the show IS a clichee cause u should laugh over them its called satiric ... u know what it is ?

Ich gehe nicht zum Lachen in den Keller. Wenn du dumme Sprüche klopfen willst dann tu das in einer Sprache die du auch beherrschst.

I don't know how Lucky Star is related to this? It has nothing to do with my enjoyment (or lack of enjoyment) of this show. And yes I know what satire is, but it seems you don't. Here, read this.

No need to give me shit just because I don't like this anime.


That's what you get for dissing an anime on a fanpage for the anime. Did you expect to get praise for your review.
But yeah this anime was cliche an all but i still enjoyed it...7/10

Was strong in the middle but got rather weak towards the end, almost like they were running out of material so they just threw together a bunch of cliques.

It was good but i hope we get more Shiina moments in the next season... Shiina has so few screentime despite her character...and supposed role as love-rival.
The only problem that the relationship beetween Haruka and Yuuto is pretty solid, so i don't think it's a good thing to bother it...that means that Shiina must fall in love with someone else to see more screen time...

So, the old man was indeed the grandfather, the kiss scene was blocked by the fish and the eavesdropping of the others. I don't understand how ridiculous these last few episodes were. The episodes seemed dragged on, and I wanted to skip to the ending already. Had the potential to be one of my high-rated anime, and was going pretty good until the halfway, and then it started sucking. Hard.

Giving it a 6/10, because the first part was good.

Perhaps I shouldn't watch anime while sick~

I'm probably being completely ignorant here, but did they "end up together"? Like, as an actual couple, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.? I was just getting crazy confusing vibes, or I missed a line of dialog. But no one confesses, do they? Ah! I better not have missed something!

Edit: Wow. No confession in the story at all. No, "I love you"'s. That's really surprising. And, no, I'll stay with you forever doesn't count. Lol.

Fitting conclusion to a very enjoyable anime. It's visually impressive and has a superb classical soundtrack. Story was ridiculous and predictable, but the characters are likable enough to led it slide. Honestly I don't see why people wouldn't like this anime.

Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,

Have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet, those hands will never hold anything,
So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

I really did like this anime, but the ending was just . . . kind of a flop. I mean, I loved it. I rated it 5/5 at the top of the page because I loved it for what it was - a sweet, cute, innocent(ish) ending to a sweet, cute, innocent(ish) anime. However, there was a lot of potential for a masterful ending there, but none of it was used. I really liked the rich prick though. As in, he's a character I love to hate. I don't speak a word of Japanese past the likes of 'ohayou' and 'arigatou' etc etc, but I could tell that he had a foreign accent, and that just made it really funny whenever he talked, which cracked me up for some reason. Yes, he was a cliche, but cliches are cliches for a reason. I just don't think the writers needed to use him in order to create conflict near the conclusion.

Romantically speaking, it was an unsatisfying ending. I'm a sucker for a nice happy ending, and while it certainly was one, it was dampened somewhat by the slapstick comedy (eavesdroppers falling through the door, rampaging Gendou etc) . . . and that bloody rainbow eel. :(

I'm tentatively looking forward to season two, but after reading a few reviews, it would seem that it just degenerates into another daft harem anime, which saddens me. It was such a sweet story.

Again, although I had several bones to pick with the ending and the series in general, I loved it to bits and will definitely watch it again.

omg... I've started watching this anime, 'cause it was in recommended list to Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. And even though it was so nice at the start, half way there it dropped to a level of ordinary ecchi/harem crap >_<

And last 3 episode I had to force myself to watch, simply not to add another anime to dropped list... Such a disappointment... During the ending scene, where they were about to kiss(and we didn't even see if they kissed or not) I thought "I'll rate it 3 if someone will break in to the door and ruin it.

But it did made me laugh few times, and first 3 episodes were really good, so I've kicked the rating up a bit. But still, a real disappointment, not even going to watch second season.

haha i was able too see trough and predict most of the situation during story but this show was still pretty enjoyable, funny and warm exactly what i need it :)

I highly appreciate almost "adult for" contest at the end . So far i've seen this kind of developed relationship only in small number of anime ( i know they were interrupted, but It's clear they r at that stage in their relationship )

8-9/10

Next is second season !! :)
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list )

The best way I can think to sum this up: Every romantic comedy cliche in one twelve-episode package.

It was a decent watch and I can't say I disliked it, but I feel like I won't remember it in the morning. 6/10.

Can you believe that? I dropped tears watching this episode!! Anime sure full of mistery. Man, Yuuto so damn cool, thanks to that "little push" from Haruka's Grandpa.
Yuuto, you're the man, dude! Nice! :D

I really hoped the kiss didn't censored by that eel. /sigh..

The show is riddled with clichés, but I really enjoy watching an anime that goes the way I really want it to without worrying about unpredictable "turnarounds". Even many of the side-characters were easily likable. With fairly nice art and music combined despite the weak plot the show was overall extremely enjoyable for me. Nothing is special or unique in particular, but yet I found it so great.

And to those who butcher this show to the ground and can't possibly imagine why someone would like this alot, remember that everyone has their opinions. Most of us are already aware of all the clichés, but personally I love to watch cliché anime once in awhile. When it's predictable I know I will get a happy ending.

I feel Yuuto was quite weak for allowing that rich punk's word's to pierce him so easily. He should have realized while the value of his gift was meager compared to the others it was the only one that pertained to Haruka's otaku hobby.
