i actually really enjoyed this first episode, it was funny and quite unique. Though im worried how this series will play out now, and that fact it started turning ecchi the further it got in. To me it's the kind of series that doesen't need to be ecchi -_- well i will definately watch more.

I'm a big fan of the manga so i enjoyed every single minute of the chapter =) It was so good!! And Enomoto Kei still owns!

JC Staff is doing a good job, sad with only 12-13 episodes but i expect all of them would be good!

And yes its a series with a single chapter dedicated to a single woman and her love and after then the stories crossing to each other =)

Kouta~

well that was better than expected. this episode followed the first chapter of HL down to the miniscule detail on the panels. the humor didn't drag on for too long and never ran dry because it was to the point and concise. looking forward to more of how this adaptation goes, especially Kei and Misaki's stories.

The animation quality isn't spectacular by any means, consisting of mostly panned shots and simple motions, but at least there aren't any frames that are drawn badly.

Still, having read the manga I'll just periodically watch episodes that are interesting.

Hilarious episode, this show exceed my expectations! I have never read the manga and was not expecting it to be so well done. Definitely one of the best shows this season. Good animation and the story had me loling almost every 30 seconds. Can't wait for the next episode. I also liked how the pacing of the storyline was not too slow as is the case in some romantic comedies. Each character brought their own traits to the mix as well and the show still was a rational, smart, comedy.

So far so good. I'm happy that this is not turning into a Ichigo 100% disaster. I thought they did this story quite well. The pacing turned out a lot better than I was expecting. I really can't wait for the next episode. Yamamoto~ <3

I think J.C. Staff is doing a good job with this.
I don't have much to say about it so far, but my favorite girl would have to be Nao right now.

This blew me away, a lot better than I had expected. It had a little fanservice at the end, but that amount is good. It was very funny, there wasn't a character I didn't like, even the bad guys were great. This has become my favorite of the season.

It reminds me of School Rumble.

A young school girl that has a crush on a seemingly average-looking guy who is totally oblivious to her feelings, and a hardcore delinquent that has a crush on the school girl.

Some parts were pretty funny, like when the children started crying when they were walking down the street. XD

I expect a lot of this. The Manga got cancelled after only 32 chapters so we can expect a proper adaption without some artificial ending. After the big disappointment that was the Ichigo 100% Anime, this will be a huge step forward.

Though I only like the beginning and the ending of this story anyway. ^^'
I was looking forward to the Misao part and I wasn't disappointed!

Yeah, Weekly Shounen Jump cancels lots of good things... but hey, it's a miracle this became an Anime at all regarding the circumstances! I really hope the same thing happens with Mx0 as well, cancelling that was just aweful. :o

Interesting first episode, mainly thanks to JC Staff’ great production values and direction (once again). Doesn’t seem neither too great on a script basis nor very original and I obviously don’t like the ecchi/romance/comedy/school-life genre, but I guess some will like it. Good episode overall but I won’t watch the rest, despite the girls being quite entertaining and cute (but is it normal that they look like high-schoolers of 16-17 year old while they are supposed to be 12 year old girls?).

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Probably because you haven't seen the high school girls to compare them to yet. The one on the preview for example. ;)

They're not 12 year old. They're 14 (and one is 13, I think).

these girls are bitches but w/e. show was still pretty entertaining

ALSO, STRIPES. That scene where what's her name kicked the monster in the face was beautiful.

also, yeah, wtf @ them being middle schoolers. They do not look 13-14.

Really? I didn't know that, although I'm not at all surprised Lol xD
By the way, I know you're from Japan, but many of the situations where you have used "me" could be substituted with variations of "I" to make it more correct, although most people understand what you're saying, so it doesn't really matter, just a tip, trying to learn Japanese myself & it is quite hard =P, but anyway Nippon Banzai <3!

--------

So anyway, yeah, really enjoyed the First episode, even though I was like "wth?" at some times, I had quite a few good laughs. I really lol'd when one of the girls was like "I'm really into looks" etc. and some random guy was like "You called?" XD

Not sure how I feel about the guy being all huge & Ugly(?), but seems good so far.

Even if I'm not impressed at all it gave a good laugh a few times, expectly when Ayumi was the strongest against all boys.
I really like the brother complex girl so far, I forgot her name already thought ^^" and will surely continue this anime.
