I still can't get over that weird school rivalry thing, it's so ridiculous. And it seems like it will be a main focus of the story, so weird. Also there has to be a backstory why Waguri like him or it will just be because of his looks.

After just one episode, they found out their respective schools. And yep, it turns out Kaoruko is from Kikyo while Rintarou is from Chidori. As we know before, despite their buildings that are adjacent to one another, they can be said to not get along with each other. Perhaps the main reason is because Kikyo has a high reputation and seems to be a school for the rich, while many call Chidori a "den of delinquents". Therefore, the relationship between Rintarou and Waguri may cause various problems. How are they going to maintain the relationship between them? Let's see in the next episodes!

This episode's writing is the worst writing I've ever had to bear.

I sincerely wish the writer/s of this episode that they'll drop writing and pursue another career, one that is not close to writing.

It's hard to decide where to start on the amount of copy-paste they've used in the writing - how they created tension, a sort of conflict, characters' responses to situations and to other characters.

If you think this 'review' of mine (it's not a review as it solely an opinion) is a bit lacking in examples, you are right. This episode doesn't deserve any effort from me to explain and 'defend' my opinion, the same way the episode (or even the whole show) didn't put any effort in new ideas in its writing, nor in any other artistic element.

If you haven't watched a lot of similar anime in the past (those comedic-romantic high school shows), than you may not have enough of references to compare with, so agreeing or disagreeing would be a bit tricky for you.

The show started so good, 1st episode also had some of copying-pasting moments (and that's also a shame) but for the most part was OK enough to continue watching. I don't know what happened to Japanese anime writers - they've stopped trying to innovate because the industry they work in - is all about the money. The Americanization of Japanese anime industry is worrisome. If they won't protest against it, and quickly, I predict that even the Japanese audience would stop watching it in the same scale as it does today.

How refreshing to see a show like this and have the characters actually just say what they’re thinking this early on. Not to mention Rintaro's mom spelling out exactly what he needs to know.

Animation quality appears to be more consistent here.

Kaoruko's smile is priceless, paired with one of the best sakuga moments yet. I might be exaggerating, but Cloverworks outdid themselves there.

It's shaping up to be a romance iyashikei.

eh well it's all cute, our protagonists are cute but the situations are a bit ridiculous and exaggerated but hey it's not the first time I've seen that in a romance anime, I hope it gets better in the future

It seems like they want to make us feel something too much.

I'm still looking forward to seeing the sequel despite the naivety of the characters, Waguri and a ray of sunshine, it makes up for it quite a bit

Gawd....Towards the end of the ep it was just WAY too adorable how she was jumping so happily at the window when she saw him across the way.

I just melted into mush just then and there.

I've laughed my ass off :D Ultra funny episode, why this is not marked as romantic comedy???

that ending.. when she bites an apple - hope it doesn't have something to do with Adam and Eva and Eva biting apple? I hope not, but I just saw it is market as drama.. that I don't want...
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´。✪ω✪。`)

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)
