Seems quite easy to watch, wasn't boring, one or two funny scenes, will see how it goes but nothing exceptionnal atm.

Although it does look like a show that revolves around girls having the upperhand on boys for its comedic aspects. I hope it doesn't overuse that trope.

The mole is too distracting WTF!

Lol I thought it was something on my computer screen!

I found this really interesting. The body switching will probably become an every day thing for them, bringing some unexpected events along the way.

Lol @ Taichi I saw that coming. It's impossible to resist, fellas!

Overall good first episode. I appreciate the slow build up of the story and character so far, and really loving both the personalities of Inabi and Tachi. The ending was left a little vague and gave us an idea of how this whole situation is going to affect the friends in the future. Also I LOVE BODY SWITCHING!!!

This was a fun first episode. Inaba is already my favourite by a significant margin.

Episode 01:

My first slice of life anime, the switch souls thing is pretty interesting I hope that they will explain it later on.

The Characters

Yaegashi Taichi an Boxer fanatic boy, who don't smile often.

Nagase Iori the idol of the group, with a pervert sense of humor.

Kiriyama Yui a blonde and cute girl with a constant negative to Aoki.

Aoki Yoshifumi is Taichi blonde and pervert friend with a crush on Inaba.

Inaba Himeko a cold yet cute girl.

OK character for me, with an interesting supernatural plot.

3/5

The first episode was enjoyable enough, but I'm not sure what to really expect from it now. It kind of felt like a stand-alone episode. It didn't really set up anything for the 2nd episode. I assume there will be more personality swapping, but I'm not sure what to expect beyond that.

ok so i've been wanting to watch this for quite some time, but due to life being life i couldn't...so i am gonna start now

tbh this was a pretty good opening episode, the synopsis is interesting and it got me wanting to watch the 2nd episode ...so , up to that! :)

the characters didn't impress me so far but hey, it's only a first episode

5/5

Rewatching the series after more than 2 years since I first watched it.

Great first episode, we go straight into the body switches and the interactions that they create, super fun comedy, I can agree with Taichi's opinions heh.

I can't wait to see if I still love Inaban as much as I did the first time, for now I sure as hell did!

When you spend the entire episode trying to figure out why Inaba's voice sounds familiar and then you finally realize it's Kurapika...

My first thought: Why are the others friends with Inaba Himeko? She seems like a bitch who mistreats everyone. I very much hope she starts showing some redeeming features soon.

To everyone acting out, it's indeed only a preview. But damn, was anyone else bothered by that girl's mole? Not that I have a thing against it, but it doesn't move and stuff. Just looks badly animated. Heehee. A badly animated mole.

The mole annoyed me at first but it stopped bothering me soon enough.

I think Iori's mole is cute. :)

An interesting start. It's kinda hard to realize instantly who changed with who and character introduction could have been done better (had to draw diagram in the end to understand those characters), but it seems very promising with some sad things coming after genki start.

Wonder how this anime turns out, have heard some good recommendations for it.

It was an okayish start, but it has a lot of potential and I'm interested to see how things will play out.

Iori fucking MADE this episode. That scene where she teased Taichi on the couch was so fucking erotic and I can't even explain why but I had to replay that immediately. She will be my waifu by the end of this I SWEAR BY THE LORD I SWEAR IT.

That Undertaker poster loooool I expected to see Japanese pro-wrestlers, not the fucking Deadman.

This is the most fucking "anime" anime I've seen in a while with these characters and this sense of humor. Pretty decent episode, but again, Iori is the winner here.

Eh it was alright! Some sort of Yamada-kun with more slice of life elements... it doesn't have much to offer other than the body-changing thing though. Let's see how it will progress.

Interesting, nice art for 2012, feels very real with art style and how characters talk very realistically, ok jokes.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

wow that was definitely an interesting first episode, they went straight into it huh. The ecchi this series radiates rn is very strong. i like it.
Huh the situation feels very "Your name" but a 1 or 2 steps back... or forward since this time its a group of fucking 5.
Taichi actually a fellow man of culture, id probably do the same if i got swapped into a girls body. Lucky bastard, i'll drink to that.
whelp time to see where this anime goes, im sure it'll be a joy ride and a half

The premise was interesting, but I was bored for most of the preview. Himeko's cool though.

Oh Taichi...

Exactly. I can't help but think of this as a low grade version of yamada kun and the seven witches. The whole concept is taken straight from the show with a few exceptions but since I quite enjoyed the aforesaid show, this just feels like a feeble attempt at an imitation.

It's been a while since I've sat down and watched a new anime. I decided I needed a good romance/drama anime, and after searching a bit through my plan to watch list, I came across this.

With that being said, this episode is definitely a lackluster first episode.

I'll begin with the things I enjoyed. Iori is definitely the star of the episode. Her playful, energetic personality is a lot of fun. Secondly, the part where Iori and Taichi switch bodies was, initially, interesting.

On to everything else.

Inaba is the type of character I've never enjoyed. Just straight up rude/mean for no good reason; her impatience with everyone was not a joy to watch. To go off of that, the show seems to be utilizing its comedy at the expense of the guys. I don't mind if there's friendly banter/teasing between male and female characters, but there's too much screen time dedicated to making fun of the male cast. It's just not terribly funny. There was also the friend of Iori that was super creepy, didn't find that very amusing either. The comedy department is sincerely lacking, as it tends to rely on tropes.

These are my preliminary thoughts going into the show. Overall, the episode was pretty boring. Aside from Iori's fun energy, I didn't get much out of this first episode. Here's to hoping the show picks up.

so i am watching this anime coz it was on my ptw for some reason.

people switching bodies ig.

comedy is too meh tbh, i will probably give this the 3 episode watch and decide.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

i'm here for Yui... but not Yui Hirasawa, even if ironically the character design looks a lot like K-On (by coincidence seen by me starting with 2012 when this show had its debut) and her actual seiyuu has a main role here too.

Not all that involved with this opening episode (some jokes / moments of the pervert kind were way too obvious) but it can improve, even the other characters have some potential.
