Damn. They really nailed this one. I was looking forward to this adaptation and they did not disappoint.

Just noticed that Usami is voiced by the same VA of Chiyo (Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun). Coincidence much? Both characters are members of the art club.

The opening song is super catchy as hell and I like it. Probably listened to it 8 times already. The visuals of the opening is kinda all over the place but at least it's really colorful considering the concept of the anime so I can forgive that. Random fanservice in the opening was out of now where!

I did chuckle a little over the wedding fantasy with a cutout waifu and the reasoning on why he joined the club in the first place. I felt this episode was all over the place and I'm already a little annoyed on him always painting his ultimate waifu. I thought it was sweet that Uchimaki drew a smile on Mizuki over her frowning in the picture that was taken.

But I must confess.... I had to re-watch this episode because I was waiting for the entire episode for that person to jump out of that locker... Holy shit, I kept looking at the locker the entire episode.

Anyways, can't wait to see the debut of the locker stalker. That alone is enough for me to tune in next week so kudos to the series.

2.5/5- Generic Episode

5/5- Locker Stalker's story arc in this episode is a masterpiece.

Ari Ozawa is perfect for Mizuki (shame she isn't voicing Aoba, maybe NG would be less boring)

Seems like people like the anime, i think it was pretty underwhelming. When manga only started it was quite fresh expierience, but overall it was pretty average story, and i can say after 1st episode i enjoyed manga more. Maybe it's cause already read the manga and wasn't expecting much so don't see myself continuing.

Nice artstyle, Usami is very cute here, especially when she is blushing. Subaru looks like Yukine from Noragami



...but she is 2D, on top of that she is cute, cuter than your drawing

Haha this is even funnier for me because when I first heard the op I thought it said "Stalking love" instead of "Starting now"

The anime was cute, but I just keep feeling bad for Usami and that's why I ended up putting the manga on hold. But I still feel like trying even thou it's not really going to get anywhere (most of SoL don't but I like the genre anyway)

Overall great first episode. OP and ED songs are nice.

just gonna be blant right from the start, the male main character is freaking rude as hell in this episode and probably until the finale.
i feel bad for her, the female mc :c
and i don't even know whats so good about him. i kinda want to know the reason why she likes him or maybe there is no actual reason xD either way, i still support her if she likes him. she is my favorite character btw. short hair, cute, kind > instant fav to me. one of my type.

overall it was a great episode imo with the comedy and animation. didn't expect to see that kind of animation tbh. the op and ed song were really nice to hear too. but again, i feel bad about the female mc. not only because of the male mc, the president of the club is so lazy. not only lazy, he is a little bit pervert...
someone needs to help this girl seriously xD

and personally, whenever i see someone drawing anime related picture so good, i always get jealous so hard. but i think i can endure it in this anime xD

looking foward for the next episode.
where is the new character ?!?!?!!? xD

and btw;
put aside all of his rudeness,
#Respect to male MC cause he makes his own waifu.

YES. YES. I've been waiting for this. Opening was... okay... nothing special. And wow, seeing this animated makes me realize just how one sided her love really is, I mean my god, to have fallen for such a guy as that must seriously be hard. I also realize I was a expecting a bit too much from this, need to tone down those expectations.

It's very similar to Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, so the show focuses on the comedy rather than the romance.

Surprisingly I liked this a lot. I stumbled across it by accident but it was an enjoyable watch. 4/5

It feels like the writer came up with name "Uchimaki by combining "Uchiha" and "Uzumaki", or am I just looking too deeply into it? haha

Also, did anybody catch this? Seems like we have an upcoming character hiding in the locker lol.

Wow, the art and animation is incredible, or at least, a lot better than I expected. The characters are all really cute as well, especially Usami. His obsession with his 2D waifus is also very funny (and somewhat relatable). This is definitely going to be one of my favorites this season.

:D Yes I did. And I'm looking forward to see that girl joining the group (+ to know whose stalker she is).

Overall, it's was a decent first episode. Not great but also not bad. I think I will keep watching a few more episodes to see where this is going.

I still can't believe to see myself living out here watching one anime that I have been longing for since I read the manga! *manly tears*

Loved it every moment! VA did a very good job. I wouldn't expect Ozawa Eri to voice Mizuki, still found her voice very fitting tho.
Perfect art style and consistent animation, I couldn't ask for more an anime adaptation for my fav manga!

Of course, not all anime got perfect adaptation.
They still cut out some parts and jokes, heck even skip chapter 2 (eh, probably will be animated in later episodes) but I can still see they did the first episode really well! Props to feel!



Will keep watch for sure. This will be my pausing-and-screenshot-while-watching kind of anime for this season.

I'm not sure what to think about this. I didn't feel like it was an outstanding first episode, but I didn't hate it either. I feel like it was just okay. It's cute. But...I feel like it's just cute. I feel like I won't get anything out of this anime. I'll wait for now, but I don't think much will happen.

Chapter 2 looks to be animated in episode 2 if you check out the preview for episode 2 at the end. They seem to be adapting the chapters out of order which is fine I'd say. As long as they animate the great chapters.

I loved it, good start.
Songs with funny ringtones, unrequited love, a character with no interest in 3D girls, which seeks to create the ultimate waifu.
Several times to laugh and maybe cry, incredible story!!

the drama between the girl and the guy was "just barely tolerable" but the designs were great and it has a nice tone. This could be very fun if we can just get over the rushed teen drama fast, so I will continue watching.

omg right? Jesus, the feels train hit me once she started crying and I was like "I BARELY KNOW HER, WHY AM I FEELING THESE FEELINGS?"

And the art and music is so nice?? The animation is amazing too... like, wow! I thought this was gonna be just okay but D A M N .
