the very generic art in the beginning almost put me off but I stuck it out a little and it doesn't seem to bad. a little intriguing about what happen that made nanaka like how she is now. i see hints of harem but not as bad as most.

just started this show now because its finished airing and i like watching 13 episode series in marathons. (unless they're very good)

aois voice is terrible, just like everyone mentioned.

nanaka's slap was awesome. i'm hoping that shes not your typical pushover main female character

shuu (his friend) is so cool. i love how its a guy that actually has a personality (unlike sana)... sana should have more of a personality. oh, and he should defenitely have gotten a manlier name....

First thing I thought when I started the episode. 'That's Chiyo-chan!' I can see why a lot of people would be annoyed. The voice goes fine on a 10 year old Chiyo but absolutely horrible on a 17 year old Aoi. I don't think I will be able to get used to it =\

The first episode was rather boring save for the slap at the very end. It has a lot of cliches but I'll give it more episodes to see if anything entertaining can come out of it.

arghhh... another anime that i leave for a season after it is aired.

well, i am following it all since... i already downloaded the batch.
the first episode was pretty ok, aoi's voice almost drove me up the walls, its pitch was way too freking high to enjoy her little moe-ness.

i gotta admit, a couple of scenes made me smile, and some made me laugh, i dont think its gonna turn out that bad of a show.

the OP and ED were also pretty good.

Well I personally thought it was very cute.

Aoi's voice... I'm not too sure about but I HAVE heard worse.

Not much really happened, but ti was only the first episode so I'll have to wait and see.

He's stupid not to have known that that was her. It looked exactly like her haha!

I got m.3.3.w's DVD version of this anime, and so far, I enjoyed the first episode.
The animation's great, and the sound (other than Aoi's voice) was alright.
I think I'll really enjoy watching the rest of this (I hope for some sweet drama here too.)
Thumps up for now ^^

Not going to lie, this series looks fairly bad. The 5 year old like voice irritates me to no end, the background music sounds like it came from a gameboy game at times... bleh.

That's about all I don't like about this anime much. Her voice was more annoying than cute to me, but so-so I guess :P

Oh, and that slap at the end was win ;)

Wow, what an AMAZING first episode. So many new plot elements I've NEVER seen before.

-Childhood friends
-One leaves, comes back later
-High School
-Rushed Romance
-Clumsy Girl with high pitched voice
-AND SO MUCH MORE

And the voice acting...EHHHHHH??!?!?!

I accidently hit "disliked it" instead of "hated it" btw. Sorry.
I'm with you there. Never seen so many cliché in the same anime before. I'll stick with it for a bit since it's only 12 episodes, but I'm not going to waste my time if it continues like this.

Meh, Aoi's voice is an earbleed. Some stuff that pissed me off was when the phone ringed while Sana-chan was using the headphones and he still heard it. Not a smart scene.

And the huge tit Aoi was really necesary? >_>

I hope it really get interesting on 2nd episode. Didn't saw anything interesting on the first episode.

Aoi's voice was really irritating and I felt it didn't suit her character well at all. Her childhood voice was much better. After a while, I started wondering why Aoi's voice sounded so familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before, in some other anime?

Then after checking out Aoi's voice actress, I found out that she is also the same voice actress for Neliel from Bleach. Or rather, Neliel's child form. And it's even more irritating in this anime compared to Bleach.

This anime looks ok, I guess. Nanaka is pretty. Other than that, nothing really fantastic so far. Just ok. I hope things turn out more intense and dramatic soon.

Well, the voice of Aoi kind of irritates me. But I will be willing to give it a try.

I liked the slap. It been a while since I've seen a Drama/Romance Anime, so I think I will enjoy it.

It's been a while since a character could summon such rage in me.

Aoi's voice is HORRIBLE. Ill give it another shot though, see how this develops in the second episode, hope something interesting will happen. My continuation also depends on the screentime Aoi will get im afraid >.<

Interesting start and setting of this anime, some good basic concepts so lets see where this will go! The ending sure was pretty funny, that he didn't realised was pretty stupid though, but this reaction will sure lead to something more interesting!

Lets see what's this anime has to offer!

Nanaka sure showed her Tsun side in this episode. Aoi isn't really that annoying, but if she was the type of energetic person who could never sit still then yea she'd be annoying especially with her voice. I must say some people think this series is bad, but come on it's only the first episode. Sure some people say they hate this date sim series, but I think it's pretty good plus Nanaka slapped the dude so I want to know how he will fix their relationship.

Eh, kind of a meh first episode. A little slow. So Sana returns to his childhood home. I feel sad undertones to this series but that could be because of outside sources..

Sana: I don't have an opinion for you yet. You're kind of bland right now but this was only the first episode. Typical Normal-kun it seems to me.

Aoi: Your voice is ANNOYING AS HELL. I'm sorry. But no. It's annoying. Character is funny and cute at times with a big rack but your voice just distracts me.

Nanaka: Interested to see more of you!

Others: You guys seem alright. Can't tell as most of the episode was Sana walking around and getting the lay of the land.

Well... I'll continue on.

This was pretty nice and cute. But why did she slap him? :(
Well, then again, it is a bit frustrating when someone
you really want to recognize you and
you really want to have a touching reuniting with
doesn't, well, recognize you.

Aoi and Sana were pretty cute tho :)

Aoi's voice is physically painful to listen to. Nothing much else of note this episode really.

I might have to drop this if Aoi gets too much screentime. It's weird, cos I actually liked her voice in Okusama ga Seitokaichou, but here it's horrible enough that I feel like smashing my head against a wall every time she speaks.

Quite okay start. i like the setting of coming back to old town again. Aoi chest is kinda forced to me. There is no way high schooler that can get big.

The sound effect "WoooW" when Aoi found porn mag is exactly the same as Fairy Tail, LOL. Fairy Tail was the one copying huh.

Dafuq is wrong with that Aoi girl's voice? She sounds like a 3 year old. Hell, when Sana first went to her house, I was actually expecting a little girl to open the door, because of the way she sounded on the intercom.

Anyway, this episode was as generic as they get, and played out like any typical mediocre visual novel. Nanaka better be a good or at least somewhat interesting character, because she's probably going to be the only reason I'll continue to watch this show.

Very boring first ep. I don't normally pay attention to voice acting unless it's either very good or very bad. This one leans more towards the latter. He had fantasies about her where she looks almost exactly the same as in real life but he doesn't recognize her. doesn't make much sense
