Aw yeah, Nisekoi anime is finally here! :D

The animation is great, Shaft did a pretty awesome job. Especially those first few minutes of the promise~!

That head tilt. :3

The OP (ED here) is amazing as well! So colorful~

This is going to be really great, I'm so excited to see the rest of the manga animated! Probably the show I'm looking forward to the most this season. Can't wait for future episodes~ ^^

actually prefer VA Yahagi Sayuri as Onodera.
I'm always reading Nisekoi manga while imagining Yahagi's voice as Onodera, because I think Onodera chara kinda similar with Sairenji from TLR

Nisekoi has now officially been shafted XD

I was wondering how they'll do the old promise without revealing the girls VA but since it's Shaft the answer is obvious XD

The VAs are doing an amazing job. Kosaki is Kawaiii already and now with Kanahana...my heart <3

Nao did Chitoge's voice perfectly. Pretty much exactly how I imagined. And I remembered why I used to dislike her at the start of the show. But well she gets better ^^

Loved the cooking scene at the start. Raku at his finest lol XD

The end was funny as I remember with how they were forced to be a couple for 3 years. And it begins ^^

Can't wait for Marika.

Liking the flute OST :)

Well that was a good episode, I think Shaft pull it off really well in this so I hope they keep the pacing decent in here. Though tbh it felt fast pace all of a sudden but still it is decent.

Animation and character designs are great, but the art is a bit ehh to me (Well since this is Shaft's production) but I'll get used to it later on. Well just glad that this anime got adapted :D. Also Claris's "Click" was a good choice in here.

The arts the best thing about the show so far to me, really nice, the VAs are doing a good job too.

Seems fairly clear this is the AOTS, I look forward to more

Been waiting for this anime to come out. That was a great episode. Both Raku and Chitoge's reactions to finding out they have to be in a fake relationship was funny.

The very beginning (first 5-6 minutes) felt rushed, but after that, I enjoyed it. Shaft has once again managed to capture my interest.

I'm really interested in how this is going to end. I dropped the manga because it felt dragged out to hell. Hopefully the ending of this adaptation doesn't flip me off and tell me to go read it.

Damn i love the manga so this anime looks really cheap for me. Animation is sloppy, and it looks too much like Monogatari with all this weird close ups and scenes. Too bad, manga is great and for now anime don't catch it's charm.

I like all seiyuu for main characters...
I have mixed feelings with romance...
So guy like one girl, but he will date other one and have fake relationship
and after all falling in love with her?

This is plot for romance...
Eh... -.-

But I will watch it!
Also I kinda curious after ending theme,
who is that childhood friend... xD

Lol, I'm liking the way Shaft did this first episode, just from the begininng with that cooking scene, I knew that Nisekoi got shafted. The music fitted the show well so as the VAs, it was a very fun start, if they keep the style like this, I can't wait for the later episodes. Also seeing Chitoge from the beginning again really does remind me how much I used to disliked her, well I'm a little bit glad that is sorta of going by the book with this one.

Just me or is SHAFT being less SHAFT than usual? I mean, it's still got all the Shinbo touches but... they're showing restraint, somehow.

Simply an incredible adaptation of that manga. I only read a few chapters in so I haven\t spoiled the plot much at all for myself.

But damn that animation, OST everything. Top notch voice actor cast...

Best anime of the season? Who knows.

And still only first episode out :D

It was less shafted than I thought and i'm thankful for that, a full shaft throttle of avant-garde styles just doesn't suit a romcom like nisekoi.

The only thing that bugged me throughout the episode so far was chitoge's seiyuu. Every time she speaks, yuigahama's image keep popping into my head... -___-

Never read the manga before but I feel like I'm going to enjoy this show.

Classic Shaft. I'm just in love with their slow motion head tilts, animation quality, foreground/background art, and their quirky yet awesome OST they somehow always end up with.

Not really sure if the dramatic black/white head turn at the 15 min mark is even classifed as a SZS reference anymore or if it's just a Akiyuki Shinbo thing.

Good first episode. Based on the type of story Nisekoi is Shaft managed to put its own spin and direction on how to present it. The voice fit the characters very well. Totally forgot how much a b*tch Kirisaki was at the beginning of the series. I'll be staying on team Onodera!

Really digging the art style, SHAFT never fails to impress me with how gorgeous all their shows look. Plot so far is okay, I love watching romcom's even though it sounds pretty cliche at the moment but I'm sure it'll be one of my favourites towards the end of the season.

Was always a fan of this manga, am totally up to date with it. Was totally anticipating this show.... but....

Don't get me wrong, I love the way they made it, but does anyone whose read the manga get the impression that this show was made for a Tora-Dora type animation style instead of the Bakemonogatari-ish (chopped up scenes, psychedelic backgrounds whilst walking through corridors, diary-type writing during scenes, etc.)?

Still, I love the story, and want to see how far they're going to go through in this season alone, so I'll still be a proper fan and keep watching, if only to see where they get to.

Can someone gif me the Chitose's cartwheel jump over the wall + bite the bread in mid-air? I'd love to use it for a sig.

The manga's still ongoing and hasn't moved towards a romantic conclusion in over fifty chapters. Though I suppose the
is a good place to end it.

Finally.. It's here!!
But.. to be honest, I am a bit disappointed.. Why it should be shaft??
The adaption is seems good so far(well, its still 1st eps tho), no complaint with the seiyuu too, or I could say Perfect! But the animation... well, I dont dislike it, just, I feel weird on every shaft animation.
I was expecting, something normal. Shaft animation is too "unique", and I dont feel its fit Nisekoi story. Gaahh...!! I hate when its became complicated like this. >.>

Wow, I didn't expect the start to be this good. Considering the quality of the manga itself... but man, I'm loving the anime adaptation already. But I seriously forgot how annoying Chitoge was at the start of the story. Guess I'm back to hating her again lol.

Edit: Btw, Onodera > All.

A mix of Toradora and Bakemonogatari, seems interesting, but I expected the Yakuza gang to be much more scarier.

LOL at Chitoge's jumping knee kick, shades of Danial Bryan/Wyatt lol. Although I find it weird how Raku cannot find a simple locket in that grass. I mean is the grass so big that the locket cannot reflect light and reflect like a spec to hint where it is. Anyway, Onedera seems shy and I'm wondering how long hos Raku known Onedera as a teenager. Knowing it's spring or so perhaps he's known Onedera since the start of the school term. Idk, so far good episode.
