A pretty nice start with an interesting concept, the pacing was also quite decent so I really wonder how everything will play out!

There was hardly anything surprising for those who have read the synopsis.

But I like what I've seen so far, seems like a nice rom/com. Obviously with more com than rom.

Alright, the first scene is actually pretty well made. I'm really digging the visuals for the anime, and Karin seems adorable.

The bath scene at the beginning had me laughing so hard, which was quite unexpected.

Ryuuji sounds like a total asshole. Why the hell does he keep talking about his DNA, is he from the future or what? Does he know anything about the DNA changes that happen in the future or is he just a jerk who thinks he's better than every other guy?

Karin being clumsy is quite what I expected from her, for some reason. I'm finding her quite funny.

When Tomoko started seing Junta in a different way... god that was hilarious, what a great scene.

The first episode was way better than what I expected.

Decent episode considering the rating this anime has. I'm guessing it falls off?

So she used a bullet that turns him into a mega-playboy, meaning she's the reason the future turned out the way it did. Does that happen to all the missions the people from the future are sent on? Time traveling logic can get messy real quick.

20 years after that special italian MTV Anime Week aired in september, able to introduce some movies and pilot episodes of multiple series that i both remembered or didn't (but i think some titles archives survived), here's one that i immediately turned interested into. If i correctly recall, it was aired on friday evening before Burn-Up Excess that i have already rewatched twice since and commented for MyAnimeList too, so it's DNA^2 time now thanks to Amazon Prime Video.

Not going to lie, i forgot it was a Rome-based italian dub but as soon as i listened to Junta's voice and recognized him on the spot as the same one of Katsura from Gintama, i was happy to notice. Karin... is clumsy, and has zero skills to read the room and realize she is making such a scene in going into a bar with those clothes. On the side, couldn't remember Tomoko was just using Junta before dropping him when his "issue" came out all of a sudden, but in hindsight it wasn't that much of a surprise. Still a nice pilot episode and the plot is already blooming with these ending scenes. Don't worry too much, Karin. Overpopulation in hindsight doesn't seem too much of a deal probably (or at least me and so many other people won't make it worse).

It was also nice to return to the OP song made by the same band that produced GTO's first one, but some years before GTO actually.
