I was wondering why the main character's eyes were so hidden in the trailer but I didn't think it was because he has a fear of being looked at. So far, I like it. Made me laugh. It's very odd constantly hearing Kuroko interrupting the show, though.

Wait, wait......KUROKO is the Narrator, and our Heroine is Taiga + Hinagiku???

Pretty much the opinion of everyone who likes this show.

although it had generic stuff, it delivered them nicely.. and i admit it was original in a way.
i quite enjoyed this and i hope that this guy Morino will proove to be stronger than he looks. It's also one of the few times that i like the female characters, mostly because they don't have annoying voices. i'll keep watching this for now. 3/5

oh and Morino saying: don't look! over and over again gave me great laughs! xD

This show is so fucking BORING. It literally excels at NOTHING. So many romantic comedies have come before it, and was better in every aspect. Why does this anime even exist? It adds nothing to the vast romantic-comedy genre, and it's not even bad enough to really complain about.

It's mediocre and hackneyed.

Amusing enough but even thought the narration was funny at times it overrode the dialogue. I wanted to hear the characters not the narrator.

I have to say, this was quite hilarious. Some of the jokes were a little cliche, but I lawl'd for the insane kick by the girl as well as the cat gloves.
The characters are all rather likable too, from what I've seen. And easy to remember. Ookami, Akai, and Morino were all funny characters, so I think I'll enjoy this series.

Also, great OP. Really fits the tone well IMO.

I didn't really know what to expect from this anime, and I'm quite pleased with what I saw. The storyline seems pretty interesting so far, and I love the personalities of the two main characters. I can't wait to see how this anime turns out in the long run.

And although it's plot isn't at all like Toradora's, I thought it was funny how similar the names of the main characters were. Taiga (tiger) = Ōkami (wolf), and Ryūji = Ryōshi.

This show is fucking weird.
And the reverse Taiga thing isn't helping the weirdness, though that is the only reason i'm watching this.

I enjoyed the narration though.

I'm for the narration, though it did get kinda overused in some cases. Maybe less narration-character interaction. Overall nice first episode. Nice to see a taller Taiga. Though the guy is pretty pathetic. Think I'll be comparing this to Toradora--much to my chagrin.

It would suck if you're on the receiving end of Ookami-san's punches, especially when she wears those cat gloves... that imprint is too funny...

Plus the seiyuu that is the narrator...Kuruko... adds to the humour value of the dialogue...

I was about to drop it when I saw a kitty gloves and a red riding hood char but when the scene Morito confess in stealth mode made me laugh and being criticize on disappearing into his surroundings (which is likely my personality) made me go on.

LOL: The narrator apologizing for the lack of fan service was something else

Morito got a piece of Ryouko's approval nice ending

Love the character designs.. ^_^
Except the male lead (Ryoushi).. would look better with 2 eyes/another hair ..
but meh, i don't really care since ryouko is just too awesome (and i LOVE her neko punching gloves!).. ringo is also awesomesauce :3

edit: also like Ryoushi's voice.. indeed good seiyū! :)
the narrator is hilarious.. xD

tbh, I am very disappointed... my expectation is pretty high...

Todadora! Episode 1 is a lot better than Ookami-san episode 1, in fact they're not even close... Hopefully this show will get better, but if things remain unchange, I'll probably drop this after 4 episodes. (And I'm not one who drops anime)

It was better than I expected. I had really low expectations but it started quite nicely. Some moments were genuinely funny and Ookami's outfit is great.

The narrator added a nice touch but some comments were unneeded. I would like it better if she only talked in the beginning and in the end of the episode.

I was looking for something with the same action and comedy-degree like Kore wa desu ka? and this looks just fine. The narrator is a bit of a flaw in my eyes, but furthermore I only have enjoyed this ep. Oh, and QFT:

I never got to comment on this anime back when it was airing...

I decided to rewatch it since I thought this was a very underrated anime.

I gotta say, watching it again, I still think this anime is much better than what the score here on MAL says it is.

The way the story uses the classic fairy tales while mixing in anime references was GENIUS.

Ryouko might be a generic Tsundere but she is definitely a strong character which will have plenty of development later on.

Ryoushi will eventually turn out to be a much better character than he was perceived in episode 1.

I gave this anime an 8/10 the first time I watched it, I'm sure the score won't rise or fall, but I encourage anyone that might read this comment to continue watching this anime, it gets better and don't let the mediocre MAL score let you down.

Seems like a fun concept, Ryouko is pretty cool, looks like she could be Taiga's (Toradora) older sister.

The club president seems like a cool character as well, he's Kitamura's Seiyuu from Toradora too.

The tennis story's conclusion... lol.

"The pitifully-small-chested Ookami-san" LOL... and I was surprised when she interrupted the narrator :D.

"Stare" everyone and he freaks out xD. When the narrator makes jokes on them I like it... otherwise it's annoying, and interfering with the pleasure to watch it. I hope she wont be there the whole time. Haha they've seen his privates xD
K.O.!! :))
Lol, neko-face.

I really want to like this anime, but the constant narrator is a distraction the whole time.

She was explaining things that were 100% obvious and would be easy to understand if she wasn't talking over the regular character conversation.

I'd prefer natural character introductions to the narrator telling you what the character was like.
Context works perfectly well.

If you want a narrator, have it talk in the beginning, the end, and maybe between scenes.

It's way overused and would be a better anime without it.
I hope in later episodes that device is dropped or has it's role lessened at the very least.
It doesn't help that the voice is grating to listen to.

For a first episode it was pretty good. Ookami-san seems like a cool girl, Ryoushi is alright, just a little shy I suppose. Ookami-san is a good fighter, I like her kitty gloves, and the little meow noise it makes whenever she hits someone with them. I love Ringo, she is so cute! Lolis FTW!

4/5

It was from time immemorial that I wanted to start this anime, on a whim, now is the right time.
A little-known anime, I've heard nothing, at least in the circle of the Italian forum.
It seems to be a TV series without many pretensions, but nonetheless manages to entertain and not a bad drawings.
Narration nice, very funny dialogues of the narrator.
I maintain a good level designs and animations are more than enough.
The characters seem interesting, we'll see in the next episodes.
For now, my vote is 6/10!

"You're kind of like a guy but hotter."

I don't know why I'm watching this in dub, Ryouko has an okay voice actress and reminds me of Ryuko's English voice from Kill la Kill and the guy in love with Ryouko has a voice that reminds me of Brief from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt however every other voice is annoying like most dubs. Especially the narrator, she should be narrating shows for toddlers. I want her to shut up whenever I hear her.

The only scene I found funny was the scene I quoted above. This anime seems pretty bad so far.

Started this one hoping it would be a light entertainment option, something silly I can watch when I don't want to be made to think too much or remember/follow a long running story arc

From the first episode it looks very promising for that purpose
