I was expecting their group to be similar to Genshiken, but not even close. They are very ummm 'eccentric'.

Still lovable characters, but as for the cross dresser, most of the time they come of as whiny and insecure, but this one seems pretty confident and 'normal'. Definitely glad I didnt judge this prior to watching.

Along with an epic OP and very sweet ED, probably best first episode I've seen this season 5/5

Solid start, but is it just me or is every seiyuu in this series seriously being typecasted?

3) You're not a transvestite, but you just like wearing women's clothes? I'm going to assume that was a subbing error. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

That was my thought, too -- "something is wrong with these subs". I mean, they translated fujoshi literally ("rotten girl" instead of female otaku) and they called people "hipsters", so I wouldn't put it past them to translate that incorrectly, either.

Although I must say his reaction of "No, I'm normal" (if that was translated correctly) pissed me off.


I think she called him "okama" which means sth like effeminate gay/+transsexual and his reply was meant to mean he was straight, not gay.

lol, I've already watched this episode 3 times and laughed out loud every time.


Ya, that's what I assume too. Dressing with girls clothes has nothing to do with your orientation. In his case, I'm pretty sure he's straight. That'll make things more funnier with Tsukimi! lol!

Theres a chance she will. One of the themes this show is her desire to be beautiful, and unlike the cliche theme "beauty is skin deep", beauty is portrayed as ones confidence and their acceptance of themselves. Tsukimi meets a beautiful and confident guy, that openly embraces the fact that he dresses up like a woman. This shows tsukimi that ANYBODY can be beautiful. I find this to be a more realistic approach on the subject of outer beauty.

I wasn't completely awed, but I still liked it a lot. Noitamina shows are always enjoyable.

Here's hoping this goes beyond "entertaining and sweet but shallow" shoujo like Kaichou wa Maid-Sama earlier this year or Otome Youkai Zakuro.

This is josei, so the relationship will probably more realistic than the above two series.

...also the jellyfish was cuuuuuuute. :D

Kurara told me to watch this!! I have to obey the jellyfish!
I'm glad this finally came out. It's a pretty cool show and very, very brilliant!
I love Tsukimi and her obssession for jellyfish, because it's very original and because it's cute (and her illustrations of them are beautiful)
And then we got....a sexy cross-dresser. This made my day :)

Lmao, what the hell did I just watch?! XD

I'm not sure what to think of this show right now. The themes and overall story seem interesting, but it all depends on how well they execute it. I wasn't planning on watching this show at all, but after seeing the first episode I guess I'll give it a try and reserve judgment 'til I see more episodes.

Same... lol.

And this is unrelated.. but a couple posts before me some people were dissing Otome and Bakuman. What's wrong with either of those shows? Bakuman's story is decent and I find Otome to be a cute and sweet show. :(

Yeah, I agree on what you said about Bakuman and Otome. I'd say you should judge the Anime unless you've seen the 1st couple of Eps.

I didn't plan on continuing with the series, but the ending makes me feel obligated to watch at least one more episode.
And, even though no one probably cares, I was surprised I realized the ED artist (Sambomaster) did an OP for Naruto (Seishun Kyousoukyoku).

I can't get enough of this! I absolutely loved it. It reminds me of myself and my friends so well (going to the supermarket to get food, being 'otaku', etc) that I have a soft spot for it. And, yes, HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG on that guy <3

Anyways, will be watching more & more than likely buying FUNimations DVDs when they come out.

I liked the first episode. Definitely a great way to start off an anime. The storyline is already being set in motion (no beating around the bush), and the characters have their own quirks which is cute. I also like the random spouted facts about jellyfish. It makes it all the more interesting.
