Loved it. As someone who read the manga, the first episode is off to a great start. Brains Base did an exceptionally awesome job at the character design, and the script is freaking hilarious. I have faith that this show will be fantastic and leave a mark in what defines 'shoujo' anime.

I believe this will probably have about twelve episodes, maybe more if we're lucky. We already have a kiss in the first episode, which in the manga didn't occur until like a few chapters in, so I think they're trying to keep up the pace. Either way, I already have fallen in love with anime-Haru <3

Now I hope Sukitte Iinayo will be good, I've read that manga as well. But TNK is absolutely awesome, I'm very happy with it!

Story moves too fast. This should have been spread out over 2 episodes in my opinion

How much of a cliche can this show be? We are introduced to another dere character--initially seemingly apathetic, but turns out to be a dere. I'm not sure what kind of dere, she can be labelled as. Wow, how much can a person change within the span of one episode? Of course, the dead rabbit scene is meant to convince us that she really did feel apathetic towards everything her entire life. Shizuku is definitely another run of the mill anime character with too much narration.

Then we are introduced to Haru, the strong, smart, socially inept and innocent character. And we are meant to feel pity for him. I, for one, was beyond frustrated at every recurrence of Haru. Those dreamy baby-like eyes are meant to erase all his wrong doings and we are meant to take jokingly his male sense of domination over Shizuki?

With both characters, I feel that the directors are purposely trying to manipulate my emotions, which in itself isn't necessarily bad. But can I really feel anything for Shizuki with all the forced explanations, especially when those forced explanations come from the freaking annoying Haru, the one with no internal consistency acting as a plot device to supposedly develop Shizuki.

Well, where to start...

Top-notch directing handling the, just a little, rushed pace with ease, amazing colourful visuals matching the anime's style and romance genre, interesting and instanly likeable and believable characters and ,in the end, interesting story.

Very Good first episode. I am already waiting impatiently for the next episode. I am glad that I picked it for the Fantasey Anime League, because I think this anime will become a hit. 5/5.

Episode 1 feels a little fast but so far it's very fun. I don't normally get to far in my shoujo series though.

I literally choked on my gum laughing at the scene where she remembered Haru was first year with the highest score.

Will keep watching.

Awesome :) 5/5 Keeping it on my Watch list obv

I've read the manga and I like how it follows it pretty closely! Animation and art are top notch. I love the bright colours too and the OST is impressing me so far.

The only nit picky thing I didn't really love was Haru's voice. I thought his voice should be a bit more high pitched, and not as gruff-sounding. I think someone like Jun Fukuyama-san's voice would match much more than whoever's voicing him right now.

EDIT - Also gonna say that I love the OP. It might be something I'll skip but srsly, they did a great job on the OP animation and the song is perfect for it.

I kyaaaa'd~

It did feel a bit fast paced though. Haru was adorable, even though I didn't picture his voice that deep. Shizuku was perfect and, uh... I can't wait for more~

This was great, fantastic, superb.
Suzuki Tatsuhisa (His voice as Valvatroze from Disgaea 4 was freaking intense), he is my favorite Japanese VA.

just a question to those who read the manga, was it this fast paced there too?

It's been a while since I've read the first few chapters, but this did feel faster paced than what I recall of the manga. The romance does move kinda fast though.

LOVED it almost caught up with the manga so nice to see everyone animated and that they stuck with the same art, i agree it was slightly fast but it's all for the greater good of learning more about how odd Haru is :P


ready for lots and lots of more studying :)

This episodes is the first two chapters of the manga (about 80 pages story in this first episode). But I don't think the anime'll be always this fast paced. I hope so anyway.

Oh man, this is hilarious, I love it already. And Brains Base did a fantastic job with the animation and character designs, it was a treat to the eyes.

My only problem would be the overly hurried pacing in the romantic and serious scenes, I found it difficult to take the jumps in atmosphere seriously, but I enjoyed the rest enough that I can forgive that. Definitely looking forward to more.

I kinda feel this way as well. I think this show does what it tries to do well, but maybe I just don't find this kind of romance appealing.

Could anyone tell me if the relationship between those two will continue to be like this episode, or will it change (I don't mind slight spoilers)?

Huh, I actually enjoyed this quite a bit which I wasn't expecting. It's a lot different from the norm and the interaction between the two characters is pretty amusing and endearing. I'll probably watch this show to completion, provided melodrama doesn't take the focus.

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?

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.
