24 episodes, feels bit like Sakurasou (or Toradora but it seems it has same author) and none of characters felt irritating or out of place.
Good start I can say.

Most certainly will be watching this, it does have potential.

PS. I was fun to hear Ibuki Kido as Chinami.

A definite nice change of pace from all the over-hyped action shows I've watched the last couple days

I believe I am going to enjoy this series. I like that it takes place in college instead of high school and Koko is quite the beauty.

Interesting start. So, they're going to do it slowly... if this sets the pace for the rest of the episodes, then I can declare myself happy.

Quite fine start, with a few rough edges - can't really say I expected more or less. The Toradora-ish vibe is so deeply felt :>

Not too much of a red alarm considering it's the only the first episode but a lot of Banri's charm was missing from the anime. Hopefully J.C Staff didn't remove it completely but he's more snarky/witty and goofy in the LN/manga which contributes to the comedy and why Kogo and Banri is my favorite character dynamic. It also makes it more believable why Kogo falls for Banri in the first place

If they're going for a more serious/grounded take then I guess that change is consistent with the tone. Won't know until I see more though
Yes, I noticed it as well. I don't think they're going to remove it, of course, since it's a big part of the story. I expected it to be a little more subsided though, because of the time constraints. I guess we'll just have to see how this evolves.

Please don't turn into a boring harem (no offense to harem fans) I like good Romance animes more, and 24 episodes? This could be good! :)
Some big spoiler maybe? Though I guess it's more of a combination between obvious and expectance...


And since everyone missed to put some words about the OP and ED, I tried not to, haha. Very good, Toradora-ish - not too shabby, while not groundbreaking either. I must say I like them, though they're not something I'm going to listen all day long to too.

Wow, stalker level = Homura.

At least she is pretty, charismatic and cheerful, though obviously not a good observer.

Anyway, seems like fun, hopefully it's not too cliche. (It does start on a good side being on college instead of highschool.)

Romance anime tend to not sit well with me. Too many greenhorn high-school kids/melodrama for my tastes.
Law school is a bit of a nice change and these characters aren't too bad.

The Toradora comparisons make me cringe because I hate that show, and Sakurasou I liked, but then the 2nd cour-happened...
Hopefully this well set itself apart from that those.

I like it more than light novel. Maybe because it looks more dynamic animated. They foreshadowed one general thing but showed us a bit of it. Too bad best girl for me(*** ** *******) won't win this time (((.


Yeah, seriously how long have you been posting on Animelist to know not to drop spoilers that aren't in the episode your discussing?? drop those hints in spoiler tags.



As for the show, It's got a good vibe to it. I do hope there's an outcome at the end of the 24 episodes.

When Banri was smiling at Kouko/Golden girl i kept saying "RUN AWAY, DON'T DO IT! you have too much to live for"

Anime has been way too over-saturated with high school students in the past few years so it was a nice change of pace having the story taking place in a college setting (similar to Gin no Saji from last season), so while the visuals weren't particularly impressive the college parts still managed to make me smile.

I found out a couple episodes in Gin no Saji took place in highschool. It threw me off.

Anyways, great first episode. Nice to see a 24 episode anime that I like. It has potential to be as good as Sakurasou and maybe just maybe as good as Toradora.

Oh god, I don't like how this series is all about Koko, both the OP and ED is about her...

I like Linda! It's a shame that she won't end up will the main.
And would this become a harem? I hope it won't be a generic one....

Interesting first episode, it looks like it has some promise, but it all depends on how they execute it. It seems like there will be some complicated love triangle arising and I'm fond with very very few love triangles.

HAHA yeah, that girl seems dangerous.

Anyway, it was refreshing watching this first ep, I liked it, mostly after watching that boring 1st ep of IS.
Being as impatient as I am, I have to ask, is the manga being translated? and if it is, is it up to date? 'cause I would like to read it, thanks.

It was a decent first episode. It didn't blow me away, nor did I think it was hilarious, but it had some nice bits and it showed off at how great a guy the lead (Banri) is.

Not sure what to think of Koko yet. I don't really like the rich girl personalities but hers seems somewhat funny considering how obsessive she is over Mitsuo.

Why? seriously, why?, I'm not reading the manga, nor the LN so why would you spoil that? It might be obvious (or not) for you but come on.

I didn't pay much attention to it, just listened to the music, so I watched it again and I stand corrected, it was implied in the opening she'll fall for him so I deleted my complaint, sorry for that.

I doubt J.C Staff will remove a character trait that represents Banri as who he is.
The opening also shows a bit of there silly faces.

Not a bad start.
I'm guessing Koko has good reasons why she's acting this way and it's not just her being delusional.

I was really surprised. It started off really slow and the main character kind of seems annoying, but the last 5 minutes really makes up for it. I'm excited for next weeks episode and to find out Tada's back story.

Ahh man another beta MC. At least the other guy seems like he isn't. How convenient that he's meeting all these girls already. I like it so far. I hope they incorporate more college life things that we're not used to seeing in the more high school anime environment.

I like Takemiya's writing so I'm hoping this will go in the direction I think it will.

SINCE THE OPENING MADE IT PRETTY OBVIOUS!!!

Storming through the manga .. I thought I would never say this but

This series basically portrays one of my biggest romantic fears in life :( So many times I've been in the shoes of the protagonist but never got the ''good ending''. Well, I did with one of my ex-girlfriends but she wasn't that much of a best friend.

It will be an interesting ride for me indeed, almost painful to watch :/

Not a bad start, it did seem to jump from one even to another rather quickly and the main character doesn't seem all that interesting so far but time will tell.

Judging by this episode its looking to be a harem, hopefully doesnt go too crazy with the amount of love interests, I'd rather have one or two with solid development.

Turned out surprisingly hilarious, especially when mistuo got smacked by that bouquet. So far, the MC doesnt have much going for him and almost feels like a background character and all those introductions of female characters makes it seem like it's going to lead into a harem of sorts.

It's the season of Yui Horie! and i'm okay with that

since Toradora was one of my favorites and i really did like Sakurasou i'm expecting good things from JC this year!

only slightly worried about the Male MC it's to early to judge but he seems like a nice guy but kinda of spineless, he doesn't stand out.

Sakurasou Wasn't That Bad Tbh, They Just Messed Up The Romance With The Characters There.

Good first episode, wasn't all too bad. The characters seem pretty good, just from the first episode I know I would root for Linda but since the OP showed us Kouko x Banri is the otp I don't need to get my hopes up.

I hope they won't pull some stupid triangle with Baniri hooking up with Kouko. I don't like how he's looking at her... All this weird blushing and lines like from a shoujo series. There's not much place for another character between these two childhood friends, so I'm afraid they will come up with something really ridiculous later.

it clearly states at the begging of this forum post that you are not to discuss the manga beyond this point and you come along and ruin everything the first episode sets up not everyone reads the manga so stop giving spoilers no matter how obvious they may be.
