| This looks really promising XD I'm finding myself excited for the next episode to come out. That was some pretty fast paced development though, and already a kiss (if you can really call it one since it was so out of the blue lol) Hopefully the show keeps up a good pace and doesn't fall into pit falls of obnoxious misunderstandings or melodrama, that would be a lot of wasted potential from what this show seems to offer. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| This series caught me by surprise, I didn't think I would enjoy the first episode a lot but I did. O_o |
 |
| Totally amazing! |
| Damn wow, I really like this anime so far, it looks like it's gonna be really fun! |
| So. Flipping. Cute. Both Shizuku and Haru are really great and interesting characters. What an unconventional shoujo! I love this. |
| Better than I expected~ I'm loving the animation too! Definitely one of those must watch shoujo :D |
| hnn~ I was actually worried I would be disappointed by the anime adaption but I wasn't! u///u |
| That kiss reminds me of Kaichou wa Maid-sama! So much, hopefully this series is just as good. |
 |
| Wow. Kinda had me mesmerized there for a good but of that episode. Really enjoyed that. Don't know where the story is going to pick up next episode but I'm definitely excited! |
| Surprisingly good. At last, a good shoujo. |
| Holy shit, this first episode was pretty much perfect. The manga's great and I'm loving this Anime adaptation already. Shizuku's voice fits her character so well. I didn't expect Haru's voice to be that deep, won't be long till I'll get used to it though. That 'pouring soft drink on head' scene was awesome lmao. I laughed so hard when Haru suddenly kissed Shizuku on the lips and he's like 'I didn't feel any doki doki' and Shizuku's like O______________O. xD xtremexx said: Two weird people going out? This is so crazy it might just work. LOL, exactly my thoughts. Gotta love it how they're like complete opposites. Although, despite Haru's care-free personality and his PISSED OFF personality he's one smart ass. This is how you make a great Shoujo romance first episode. |

| OMG... THIS IS AWESOME |
 |
| I think I enjoyed the manga more. Somehow, I found the anime kinda bland and the music mediocre (almost bad...). The only time I actually laughed was when he stripped. Other than that, I didn't even chuckle at the funny parts. :A: Also it felt fast. I noticed the first chapter was animated a little after half the episode was done, so... But I will keep watching. |
| I have never read the manga and have never had the desire to, because the premise just sounded generic to me, so I just decided to check out the anime on a whim. But wow, I actually really enjoyed it, which is surprising, because I don't usually enjoy shoujo romance series in anime format very much. But this is the best shoujo romance anime I've seen in a while, and it definitely doesn't feel like the typical romance series so far. It did feel pretty fast, but I actually did kind of like the spontaneity and energy it gave off with all of the different turns in the first episode. My only complaint so far, besides the pacing being a bit fast, is that Haru seems kind of all over the place as a character. I mean, I guess all of these wonky characteristics mashed together does make him a bit unique, but it's coming off more as inconsistent and incoherent for me. But hopefully he'll get some more development later, since this was just the first episode after all. Looking forward to more! |

You know you've made a good impression when you go on to watch other fall shows and the only names I still remember are Shizuku and Haru. |
 |
| Was actually pretty good, not fond of Shoujo, but this one was pretty well done for the first episode. |
 |
| at first, i was on the fence about watvhing this anime. ... I'm so glad i watched it. ROFL. |
  |
| Nice dynamics. That's what a couple needs. |
bla bla bla 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.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I'm watching this series just because of Haruka Tomatsu. |
 |
| SO MUCH STUFF HAPPENED IN 20 MINUTES!!! But it was perfect. xD 5/5 |
| Awesome first episode; really faithful to the manga (tho a bit fast paced); seeing these characters animated is really great; can't wait to see more XD |
 |
| Good first ep, I really like the female MC! I wish I had her mindset on studying haha :( |
| He just kissed her like that?! Talk about acting on impulses! :D I knew that I was going to love this anime when I first read the news! And I am surely going to love every second of it! 5/5 for Episode 1! |

| I thought it would be lame but damn this show is funny as hell. I hope it gets funnier. I guess Shizuku got homeschooled or something. |

| Wow, what an annoying OP.. However, quite a refreshing set of characters than the usual dull male and braindead female(s) and a lot funnier than expected. I hope the anime keeps that up. But I agree, it feels kinda rushed, mostly because there happened so much in one episode. And I am so digging the art style. Reminds me a lot of Natsuyuki Rendezvous and I liked the art there a lot as well. Strongly colorful but not too playful. Absolutely great! Looking forward for further interesting situations..^^ |
 |
| Omgoodness I loved this episode!!!!!!! >.< xD this is so freaking awesome! but, I wonder how far they will go o.o It's like, the whole story was/could've been over in one episode :/ Anyways, if I had to rate this anime/episode right now, I think it'd be getting a ten ^.^ |
 |
| I thought the pace was good, Haru is such a cutie but his voice isn't exactly what I had imagined. I loved everything tho, the OP was kind of wut but I liked all the colors in it! |
| Great episode I love the characters and I can't wait for episode 2 ! |
japzone said: This felt more like a one-shot OVA then the first episode of a TV series. They could've stopped right here and I would have been pretty satisfied. Wonder how they'll continue it? i was gonna say the exact same thing :T also cringed a bit w/ the rape threat. i would've kicked him in the balls if i were her tbh other than that, shizuka makes a good heroine |

| very good show.. but the pacing shows that this is so manga (i haven't read it myself and i didn't know that it was a manga adaptation but it just shows how the guys are more focused on translating the manga into the anime form instead of making a TV show out of a manga).. they could've fleshed it out a bit to make both main characters even more believable.. i find that the pacing of the show kinda made both characters too fast in taking action or in doing the opposite of their comfort zone.. otherwise, the show is so sweet and both main characters are very likeable.. and it got what it intended.. |
| I liked the first episode and I like very much silly love so this anime is going to be easy for me to enjoy. |
| I'm honestly not sure how I felt about this. I've been so excited for this since it's one of my favorite manga, but the feeling was just so different. The atmosphere and the characters voices and portrayal was just so different then I imagined. I guess that's to be expected with an adaption, so I'm sure I'll get used to it soon. |
 |
| Love Shizuku's stoniness and how she only cares about studying. (I certainly don't!) And gotta love Haru for all his silliness. "So... this is just like hanging out with friends right?" LOL really?! Since you just kidnapped her?! ... His awkwardness rocks. Alright, so this went a little fast, since I was wondering if it was an OVA by the end of the episode (because the ending seemed conclusive enough for one). Glad to see there'll be more though! :D I love high school settings; never gets old at all. Haven't read the manga, but I feel tempted to do so now. ^_^ |
parfaited said: Haru's voice is deeper than what I imagined in my head. I second this. The pacing was a bit fast, but maybe that's because it's just the first episode. Everything's just as cute in the anime as it was in the manga. I'm thinking the anime might have about 12 episodes? Eh. |
| This started great for the first episode. The pace might a little fast but it's good, This series has Potential and i look forward to the next Episode. |
 |
| Wow, I just really loved it. Can't wait for next ep :D |
| I have grown up watching shoujo anime a lot. And I can nonchalantly refute any claim that there are many of them out there that show chuu~ moments. And here we have three shows starting with just that in the very first episode. Fall Shoujo Season will be Win! ♥ |

| Hahaha that was great. Loved every moment of it. Definitely sticking with this show. |
 |
| dat chicken Definitely enjoyed this episode. A nice mix of comedy and drama. Also digging the animation and backgrounds, everything was so clean and detailed. |
 |
| kk... THAT WAS AWESOME! I have to start reading the manga now ~w~ |
