Seems to be one of the better shows this season.

Though that is not saying much.

Only just started watching the series, sort of stumbled upon it organically - the title has never popped up as a recommendation...

I think one of the primary reasons I'm liking the anime is because it sort of reminds me of kashimashi (except if the main character had remained a boy, and without... uh, all the alien interference), it has the same sort of love triangle, and the beautiful slow sweeping pace.

In love with Noe (who can resist a girl who can still climb trees?), Hiromi is still a little... distant a character, but she'll eventually open up and be likable... just not as likable as Noe.

Similar, but Ef is much better, and a true masterpiece.
That is not to say that this anime doesn't have its merits.
Nice episode, and the anime stars to pick up more.
...hmm that guy Noe embraced while wearing that outfit appears suspecious... I somehow get the feeling they're not blood related....

I'm betting Hiromi has just read Art of War or something. She is trying to analyse the situation. Sneaky. Good episode, better than the last.

Ef, much better. No way. This anime has effects that are much more toned down, and has so much more charm in the form of great art, graphics and animation. And Hiromi x Noe is love.

Not saying Ef is not good of course, Ef is great too.

I'm still doubting the series on whether it's good or not.
I'm enjoying it so far but I think the character development is going a bit too slow for me.
I don't know.
I'll just watch the next episode.

Hmm...something about Noe and Hiromi's personality that makes me smell drama. We just don't know enough about them yet. Looking forward to seeing their characters unraveled.

The story with Noe's tears is still a little vague. Also love the way Miyokichi and Aiko treat eachother. Miyokichi feels so lucky to have her! =)

Agreed~! Though I actually didn't like the episode all that much.

I still don't get the tears thing, though. And I couldn't help but chuckle a teeny bit when Noe gave Shinichiro chicken feed, hah.

Still not sure about sticking with this. Next episode will probably help me make up my mind...

Yup, these 2 first episode really went fast.
But I don't get Hiromi, is she interested in Shinichiro? because she is a little odd.

I liked how Noe saw right through Hiromi. Sometimes Noe is scary :D I still wonder if this is gonna involve some magic with the bottle thing.
I really hope that's a brother (the most probable imo) and not a boyfriend :/
I expected the love-triangle, though I kind of hope they won't have it as the main focus. And I sure fucking hope there won't be more girls to make a harem. I just want Noe and Shin to end up together :)

Hiromi asking to be friends with Noe, wonder why. I believe that if Hiromi befriended Noe he could get closer to Shinichiro, but Hiromi lives with Shinichiro so that doesn't make sense. Anyway I don't like that blue haired girl, she seems like the type of person who only cares about herself or is like a jock.

I'm liking this so far. I kind of have an idea of why Hiromi asked to be introduced to Noe. Also, I really hope Noe isn't going to be some pretective bitch of Shin. I'm still not sure if I like Noe. I like Hiromi more than Noe.

This is the last I'll write about this topic until the end but man do I have a premonition that I'm gonna suffer watching this.

I know I said that we didn't know who the shop girl was but it was hinted that she was MC's friend's gf. Didn't want to solidify that yet since this is anime but let's see.

A (potential) love triangle where everybody talks with everyone involved (especially the girls)? And even their friends are somewhat involved, with that girl always hanging around Hiromi shouting after Noe..

And the girl actually apoloziging, instead of berating the guy? How did this pass through the usual trope filter?

Even Ef did stick closer to the "norm" regarding this, for the most part.

It would be nice to find out the reasons for Hiromis actions. Jealousy might a possibility, but I hope there's more.

Pretty interesting so far.

Man, the characters in this show are weird. Well, mostly Noe and the long haired girl (sorry, can't recall her name). They don't communicate clearly at all.

Also, that man that Noe hugged... he was family, right? She was in her underwear too, with only a white t-shirt on. They wouldn't have...?

Eeh!! I love Noe even more this episode! I ship her with Shinichirou!!
The way Noe was greeting Shinichirou was so sweet. Every time she was on screen put a smile on my face. :,3
Also, I'm getting to learn more about Hiromi which is nice. I'm a bit conflicted. She seemed nice with wanting to be Noe's friend and all, but then I learned that she didn't actually want to be friends with her?? Plus, I didn't like how she told Shinichirou a rumor about Noe. It was cool how Noe saw through her. I think that she likes Shinichirou, but I just hope that she won't end up with him because I would like Noe too.
Team Noe! :D
