I personally am loving this series, and I wasn't really looking forward to it at all. All the characters are relatable, and I feel like to some extent we all know what they are going through. My one HUGE hope for the next couple of episodes is that Muroto gets some character development!!

Why watching this show feel so good
1.Is it because other show of this season sucks holy ass or
2.This time male lead got balls or
3.I love bubble scenes.
EITHER WAY THIS SHOW IS FAR BETTER THAN ANY OTHER SHOW I PICKED UP THIS SEASON

Don't overhype this Anime guys... Don't raise the bar too much!

I still think Sasami-san @Ganbaranai will do better than this if this series continue with this kind of style. I mean, you can't possibly eat a bread with nutella, cheese and a peanut butter at the same time. . .

I don't get why people are saying this will be the best this season... Seriously. We all can see its flaws. Its great but how come one can assume that this will be the best this season if the flaws are so visible with the first two episodes? Not hating, just saying.

People says this Anime is original and IT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!!! But I say it's ok. GC had the best first episode in the past few years.... yet everybody disliked it after it ended.

What I'm saying is that this Anime is amazing but I am not really expecting anything epic out of it.

SAO is better.

Now I finally know what I've been missing from romantic comedies! Suicide and PTSD! Really entertaining episode, keeps surprising in me in a good way, 5/5. It's nice to hear HanaKana in a different role from her usual one.

Kotoura is moe.

Wow another character with a traumatized past. But the show itself its really good. And original, well at least I've never watched or read about an anime like it.
Manabe is funny, Kotoura is cute, and the two new characters are both likeable. I will really enjoy this anime, just not the sad parts of course.

This was an amazing episode, I like the way this is done but I wonder if they can keep this interesting for an extended period of time. I can't see this becoming a random-comedy-club kind of show.

Normally I am not a big fan of male characters who are very overtly perverted but Manabe is definitely one of the exceptions. I actually find his antics amusing; and I also liked how when he discovered the bullying, he just very simply and very directly dealt with the issue. Cool guy.

They went from comedy to drama and back again really quickly. I just hope that they don't burn out and the story can keep its momentum (or should I say its "MOE-mentum") at a solid clip moving forward.

When Muroto appeared, first person to come to mind was Keima (TWOGK)... then I saw his sized and pft. Then he spoke... Same voice actor...

No wonder he sounds familiar..
Taku33 said:

but to the point:
new characters seems nice, even Moritani (now they only have to make her more friendly... which will take probably 1 or 2 episodes).

At first I was feeling kinda bad for her since Kotoura just came and steal his love one away, but after how she acted, I am disgusted. There is no redemption for her in my heart..
Wordsmith said:

PS: I hope they show some of Manabe's Yuri-thoughts =)

Yeah.. Hopefully :)

Btw, at the end there, she said "..and..", and what?? and first love?? :D

This is one of the more original shows of the season. And one of the best ones at that. I prefer my comedies to have feeling on the side. The best comedies have excellent serious moments, and this is a prime example.

I like how this show messes around with most of the stock-standard high school anime cliches. Pretty enjoyable I've gotta say. However, the characters themselves aren't really all that great in the long run. Kotoura is a nice enough character, but everyone else just seems like bland cardboard cutouts. Not as good as the first episode, but still enjoyable.

Wow! Not again can some of these characters have a good backstory... pretty please! Glad that my judgment of senpai was wrong and she is concerned for her junior, her mother wouldn’t want that... but Red-head is another matter.

On a side note:
Manabe's character is great, not afraid to say what's on his mind (for the most part) and can say that there's a girl he likes without being embarrassed.

Well.. Haruka says "good morning" and "I'm leaving" to herself.. How she's living on her own, by the way?.. Are parents sending her money?.. Or grandpa?.. Or someone?..
Hm.. So Yuriko's motivation is to actually prove to the world that people with special powers exist.. And she does so for her mom.. Hm..
Huh.. Didn't expect Moritani to be a bully.. Well, with how she's on poster and among mains.. Glad she got confronted.. Maybe she'll change.. But didn't expect she was even able to do such thing in the first place.. Kind of question marks here..
As well as gladly surprised that they actually continued with the problems topic.. Well, as had no idea, if anime would become some slice of life comedy or not.. It still can become one, really.. But glad to be surprised it wasn't in this episode..

we didnt get to see red hairs reaction. but again what the fuck is the problem with everyone? someone is able to read minds despite not wanting to and the others deal with it by calling her a monster and bullying her? ah yes.

i wish red hair got a harsher "punishment" from manabe. actually red hair is stupid in what world did she think that her bullying manabes friend would make manabe date her or whatever

I think this episode was as far as I got when I first watched it all those years ago, it’s possible I got further but I think the reason I held off was because I thought the censored fanservice meant that an uncensored version would come about at some point so I stopped, but looking as its over 10 years later I don’t think that’s happening lol. This was a great episode too, some very funny bits like Manabe’s wish for the power to make skirts 10 centimeters shorter and Kotoura’s solid snake escape lol.

And we kinda saw a return to the depressing stuff from episode 1 with Moritani’s bullying, I know there’s more than meets the eye with her but it is kinda funny knowing that she’ll be part of the gang eventually but as of rn she’s the villain lol. Mifune and Muroto are nice additions as well even if Mifune has ulterior motives, also Muroto looks so fucking dumb and I love it lol.

Manabe... respect for standing up in favor of Kotoura. i feel like Moritani won't stay bad forever considering her presence in OP and ED, but what she did was something mean spirited that she needed to answer for... as if skipping karate lessons isn't bad enough already (oh, well, previews seem to correct that and i'm all in favor of it)

What kind of messed up club room is that, the school is actually ok with it? Even if, i'll concede that introducing Daichi like that worked out, he seemed a creepy doll part of the furniture. Also, Keima Katsuragi's similar appearance didn't lie, he has the same voice actor. For now, i have some difficulty into going some extreme mood swings between funny and dramatic moments, considering Mifune's family story.


Well.. Haruka says "good morning" and "I'm leaving" to herself.. How she's living on her own, by the way?.. Are parents sending her money?.. Or grandpa?.. Or someone?..


noticed this myself too.
