THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ok, this show should prove to be interesting, to bad it's only going to be 11 eps. The OP is better than the ED, all in all this show should be good.

I made it 3 days ago =P Just because you only got around to watching the raw now, I'm not going to wait for you to make the topic =P

though the crows in the walrus were weird, but apparently tasty.

Loved it, but almost barfed when the crows-in-the-walrus thing happened. UGH.

I love this show so much. It made me laugh so much. However, I was pretty disturbed with the whole seal thing. The bacteria are so cute though. It has changed the way I view them.

I'm really looking forward to the next episode :D. I'm sad this show is only going to be 11 episodes long.

This was surprisingly amusing for a show on MICROBES, lol. Made for a great first episode, will like to see how the other 10(?) turn out! I don't think the series could last longer mainly due to its topic, but I like it, haha.

The microbes playing S-ken was funny, and even better, the microbes that "looked japanese" haha. This had to be one of the best first episodes I've watched this season :D

Was deeply surprised about the whole Canadian Inuit recipe, haven't heard that before. We don't really learn about the Inuit in school... more just the Native Americans. Then again they do some funny things up north, even now... *blech*

Edit I just watched the ending (after the ED) ... chibi microbes talking to eachother! I LOVE it!

Started watching this unexpectedly. Heh, I might as well follow Faust and watch every Fall anime at the rate I'm going at.

A fully sick first episode, but in a good way. The animation was better than I expected, and the OP and ED were quite unique.

that dead seal was yackkkkk, i cant imagine ppl could eat such thing for real
i search on the net for the real recipe and actually found it :S

WALRUS (Arctic Canada). Recipe: slit open walrus and remove most of the
insides. Net some migrating birds and gulls. Use these to stuff the walrus.
Bury the walrus in the permafrost for 2-3 years, then invite everyone for a
feast. From: Robert Hughes

This show is cute, weird, and fun. As mentioned already, animation has its own uniqueness. Ending is done by Polysics, a band I'm familiar with so that was interesting to recognize.

I swear to god... but when I first saw Kei in the subtitles... I thought Kei-clone... and very quickly the black haired guy became kei and the blonde became eazy. So now when I watch the show I picture those two. xD Now I can't watch the show in peace! However, this was very funny. xD

I loved the first episode. The premise is random but if they can make it as entertaining as that episode was throughout the series then it's going to be great.

This is totally hilarious and adorable, I cracked up a few times and was "aww"-ing constantly. Love the OP and ED, too. And of course, it's educational! (I'm learning about microbes and fermenting in Chemistry class right now, so the timing is perfect.)

The only reason I voted 4 out of 5 is because seriously the seal part was disturbing >_<. Other then that, I really liked this show. It's really funny for the most part and has a lot of promise

100% agreed :)

I loved it when they said "YEAH" in the opening (sounded so funny)
And the live-action OP... eeh.. Background was cool too ":)

Other than being weirded out by the kiviak scene I loved this episode. I know I'm going to love this show because I worked in a microbiology lab for two years. I need to watch it again so that I can catch all the translation notes because they flashed by so fast. I also loved the opening ceremony speech, "Please help us find her body. Our campus is very big so there are lots of places it could buried!"

Well, to be honest, I didn't really like it :S
I mean, it was OK, and I love other series by "noitamina" (Jyu Oh Sei!), but this series is just kinda medicore.
Anyway, I liked the basic idea, and of course the OP&ED. I think I will try a few more episodes :P

Liked this episode. Weird premise (microbes) for a series but they made it entertaining (and indirectly educational too).

I found the microbes adorably cute, and aside from being grossed out by the kiviak scene (I'd love to try that out a bit though), I found Moyashimon hilarious and interesting. This series is definitely on my watch list. ^_^

Finally able to find the first episode. Like most people, I was totally grossed out by the kiviak thing. I was drinking some hot cocoa until I realized the kiviak looked a lot like my drink >.< Other than that though, awesome show. Made me laugh when the lady kept trying to have Sawaki prove he can see microbes :P

Really funny show, I was a little grossed out from the kiviak, but not so much that I stopped eating the candy I just bought.

The part with the Japanese bacteria was really funny.

The show seems promising, hope they don't mess it up in the middle.

Hmmm... kiviak. I wonder what it tastes like? I'd imagine you'd need a pretty strong stomach to even give it a try. A bit gross to start but funny towards the end. I had a good laugh when Sawaki was able to diagnose Haruka's athlete's foot to convince her. This looks like it will be an interesting and educational show.

well, loved the recipe especially because of professor's mouth while talking with dripping blood on them ^^
however, it was not all funny, when the professor spoke to Hasegawa about experimental mice - quite intriguing..

Loved the first episode.

Funny, interesting, and informative.

I laughed so hard when the professor kept on talking with his smelled mouth while getting near with the two boys.

The seal recipe was really sick to be imagined but I find it hilarious in this ep. xD

OP is awesome and ED is ok. Liked the mini-segment before the preview. :D
