| Cheesy premise, but good episode. Already better than most of the romances in the past few seasons. |

Num1dad_Asura said: 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. |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| I'm not a shoujo man (lol?) but this was a pretty good start. |
| I think this is going to be one of the best animes of this season. I loved it! |

| 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 :) |
 |
| "Make one peep and I'll rape you." Lol. |

Num1dad_Asura said: just a question to those who read the manga, was it this fast paced there too? 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. |
| An entire shoujo romance anime in one episode, awesome. |

| Best first episode and with kiss xD Damn, I can't wait for more episodes ^^ |

| 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 was actually able to sit through this and laugh, something I usually can't do with shojou. Cute and surprisingly genuine stuff here. |
| This show just straight up is interesting, funny, and exciting. It felt like a lot happened in just one episode but that's what I loved about it! |

DEEDS said: 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.Am I the only one that finds Haru extremely obnoxious? 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)? |
| Yep, I will definitely watch this. I liked the surprise at the end. |
| nice and simple, liked it =D |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| 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 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. |

| 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. |
v3catsxanime said: am I the only one who hasn't read the manga, but finds the pacing perfectly fine? Nope. Loved the brisk pace myself. Any slower and I might've gotten bored! |
