| Really loved the artwork, just looked very realistic. Sort of like Sakamich no Apollon. Looks like they are gonna have a decent pace, which is good. |

| thats weird way to fend off a stalker... |

| Very sweet romance. It's very comforting to see how Mei's outlook changes. I can't wait to see their relationship develops. |
| I'm officially a shoujo fan. This season has some great ones. They're a breath of fresh air. |

| A decent start for a shoujo series~ Will keep watching just because. |

Shounen romances have their wish fulfillment too, although it's certainly not the same types that are in shoujo. There's also plenty of shitty tropes on both sides. |

| The directing in this show is great. You can really see the director's previous work on the ABe shows in it. I'dl watch it for the directing alone, but the story seems to be entertaining as well. |
| Ok™ |

I know shounen has it's wish fulfillment stuff too, but shoujo is an entire super-genre devoted to wish fulfillment. That's not the case with shounen since romance is only a sub-genre of shounen. Wait, what definition of wish fulfillment are we talking about? Just so we're sort of on the same page here. |

| ^^Isn't the same with shoujos? female lead gets the most bishi guy from the school for an unknown reason. Same as with shounens. Pretty generic, but the art is pretty good. Now lets wait for the bitches complaining because bishi#1 likes the awkward/anti-social girl. Also the top girl, like a model or something like that to put her eyes on the bishi. As long as the drama isn't that much it'll be fine, the main girl is kinda cute, same as Asami. |
| This is one of my most anticipated shows of the season--I love the source manga and this first episode didn't disappoint. While it bears a superficial resemblance to Kimi no Todoke, I think Mei is a much stronger character and as we find out more about the main and supporting characters, you'll find that she takes a much more active role in resolving the plot obstacles. I'll be interested to see how they handle some of the relationships in the show since some characters are sexually active. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| omg that kiss scene was so unexpected! great episode, it really reminds me of the good old days of kimi ni todoke. love to vibe and looking forward to more! |
 |
| already better than sakamichi and natsyuki. |
 |
| ahhh.. hmm... this season is making me so happy.. this one and the other one.. with shizuku. just the type of anime that dont really get shown that much but they're my favorite kinds. THANK YOU JAPAN |
| Aaah, this was an amazing first episode! I can totally relate to Mei (not with the stalker, but xD) so it was easy to really feel the emotions. I cried too much in 22 minutes. Definitely had kimi no todoke flashbacks, it was awesome. Can't wait for the next one. |
| Where's the 2nd episode already!!!! >< Owmeigod.. it's been sooo long since I've felt like this before.. butterfly in my stomach.. !!! owmeigod.. this one's going to be my new favorite series.. gaaaa!!! |
| I didn't really like the first episode. If Mei has been alienated from other people so much, how could she even talk that much to a stranger? Mind you but this guy was the most popular guy in the school. It would make sense for her to despise his kind since those kind of guys are propably the ones that fit her category of "people who betray" since he is a "player". I'm really going to question the next episode if she won't get pissed. That was an ultimate player move on his part, she should be furious. |
| Welcome to club: Anime that Should Continue http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=37045 |
| After watching the first episode i had to go and read the manga, and man, i can't wait to see some of those stuff animated, just how they go for a 24+ episode..with how the manga is, i am kinda surprised they rated it pg13. |
<center> </center> |
| Ahh, Mei is someone I can relate to. I really love the artwork and the animation. I can't believe that stalker waited outside for 30min! Yamato is soo cool~ |
  |
| A decent first episode. I thought the kiss was totally unnecessary but whatever. |
| Pretty good. It follows the manga really well. It's probably my least favorite shoujo that is airing this season, but it's shoujo nonetheless~ |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| I didn't like the episode much, felt like your typical shoujo anime.. |
| Actually because of this first episode i went to read the manga but itw as a compete let down for me. This first episode had a lot more drama built in, the character designs were awesome while in manga were kind of sloppy. And there are some particular scenes that I loved, put up together with the music, that made this anime vry special. Like the scene where Mei was listening to music on the way to school. You know that kinda made up her entire personality of a girl who shuts herself in and ignores the otehrs... all these made me care for her, but in manga I couldn't find one single point to relate to Mei. I guess the manga is after all targeted at younger girls but still lacks the depth of the anime. So yeah.... very very good job for this first episode. I loved it though it's definitely not my kind of genre. |
| Just gotta say the ED song is one of my favorites this season. Suneohair always puts out good songs. His last ones for Arakawa Under the Bridge were pretty great too |
| This brings out some good Kimi no Todoke memories :D |
 |
| Always the same story. Popular guy fall in love for unpopular girl. No thx, I'm skipping this one. |
| Totally forgot to comment when I watched this. Yamatooo~ <3 All my love. Sakurai-san! >w< I'm so far really liking the way they are adapting it and hopefully following episodes will be just as good or better. I think I would watch it for Yamato with Sakurai's voice even if they mess up though. atty said: A-Knight said: DraconisMarch said: I'm officially a shoujo fan. This season has some great ones. They're a breath of fresh air. Shoujo is basically female wish fulfillment though. Shoujo romantic plot devices are even more ridiculous than what you see in shounen harems. I've only watched a few shoujo but they all seem the same. Lonely girl with no friends somehow gets the attention from the most popular guy in school, topped off with a kiss barely a few days of knowing each other. It's the exact same as Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun which is airing this season except the male MC is much more callous. Fuck, even the thing about the dead rabbit when they were kids is the same. I guess the viewer is supposed to see themselves through the female MC. Since something like this doesn't typically happen in real life they can get imagine this is how life would be if these things did happen. That said, I like the character designs and music. :3 Not every shoujo is the same though. It just is something that is aimed at girls but that's really where the similarities end. It is however true that there are cliché things in this genre, but that's really true with everything. Sukitte is still ongoing and the scanlations are quite behind, but I think this story is not really that cliché and a lot of things are pretty believable. Actually I was kissed before to avoid stalker before. Though it was by a girl, haha. Anyways, the cliché I really hate is love triangles. Seriously. WHY. So I hope the anime gets chance to get more of character growth and development for Yamato and Mei instead of focusing on the outside..problems too much. By the way, my fave shoujo series is Natsume Yuujinchou. |

| Need to make new sig. Soon. Maybe. |
| Worth watching :3 and nice ED 10/10 |
 |
| I had no idea how I would like this anime going in, but I'm definitely watching the rest of it. It's so sweet! I really like Mei. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I liked it. This series give me strong Kimi ni Todoke feelings, but I lol'd at the stalker, it's a bit strange to see a young man in suits stalking a random girl. |
 |
| Nice start. |
| Wow. What's with all the good Shoujo's lately. I don't usually like them, but this and Tonari have stepped up for me. Excellent start, and creepy as fucking stalker. |
 |
| Out of all the new anime I am watching this month, this anime has so far left the best impression on me from start to finish. My only criticism would be that the sub text is too small for my eyes which sucks so I hardly have the time to read the conversations but I'm not lost yet. Anyways looking forward to the next episode! |
