The Music and visuals are so good. I don't know what kind of mixture of music or art or even voice work but I started crying when Usami did and it was only the first episode.


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 .

Mizuki is so cute and adorable. And when she did that pose with smile.. Man I love her already. It's endearing to see her have a crush.
This episode was great, funny, very good art(in series and production wise) and played really hooked me in on the characters. Like when that bridge scene, i was mixed with emotions of sadness, hope and idk how to describe it!
I don't normally like characters this early on. But not only did I like everyone of them, it got me shpping and cheering Mizuki on. I felt sad for her when he was going to leave. Hoping he accepts her feelings.
But I knew this won't happen as it's just the first episode! It felt like it told a whole season's worth of development. Though in the end not much changed. Already heavily invested on the characters. Most SoL achieves this towards the middle or end...
Looking forward to next episode, I can see me loving this one.

At first the description gave me a K-on vibe, but nope, a bit more sakurasou instead. They are laid back but art was still heavily focused(unlike k-on) yet is just to progress the what seems to be an episodic plot. Hope its not purely episodic though as it wil butcher all the character development potential. Good thing is that this single episode plot felt like a seasons worth of set up. Can't stress that enough.

Also, I don't blame Uchimaki. It's 2D girls like Mizuki that makes it so hard to like 3D because they are rarely that cute... But damn him.. If a real girl was like that...
Still feel sorry for her though. Just hope he at least accepts her in some way.. Satisfy my ship! Don't leave me hanging

Nothing outstanding, but I really enjoyed this first episode. It’s been a while since I watched and enjoyed a rom-com to be honest, so hopefully this will do it. So far, so good though.

Anyhow, I like Mizuki and Subaru’s odd behaviors. The scene where Mizuki talks about Collette being late for the club and whatnot, but then you can barely see her hiding in the locker was pretty awkward. I thought she was going to jump out of it, but she never did.

I gotta say that the scene on the pedestrian bridge near the end had a great atmosphere. It was definitely my favorite scene of the whole episode, even if it felt it happened way sooner than expected (you usually see this kinda stuff around midseason)

Great ED.

P.S. Sad it is only 12 episodes long though, but it was to be expected.

I can't believe how good the OST is.
Normally I don't notice the Soundtrack very much but this first episode had some awesome pieces of music in it.

Also: They totally caught the charme of the manga. Nice.

just watched ep 01.. if you also watched Re:Zero you might notice some connection between two Subarus, as if they live in parallel dimensions (though maybe it's just coincidence) such as:

1. How he commented about apples' (in)significance. Note that Re:Zero's Subaru "save point" seems to prefer in front of the apple shop

2. His "ultimate 2D waifu" also happens to be maid - remember his reaction when he first met Rem & Ram?

3. In the end, he develops an infatuation for crying girls. Anyone who've watched Re:Zero up to ep 15 could draw the (emo)-connection easily

Yay another manga with cute normal girl, those are the best <3
She's too cute, loved when she smiled on the chair

He drew her anyway, I'm liking the romance

I can see where this is going. In the end, he's going to end up loving everything about her, first is her crying face. I hope it goes that route. Either way, I'm loving it.
The ED song is catchy

Usami so far is kinda adorable and that pantsu though hehehehe too bad her club is filled with shitty ass members: one who's a slacker,one who skips club activities, and one who is rude to real girls. Other than that I enjoyed this episode the art and animation is just as expected from feel decent at its finest, OP and ED seem fine, and the drama seems ehhh but it's still the 1st episode anyway so there's room for improvement just hoped that this show should stick with the comedy because that's just one of the main reasons I'm continuing this so far. Also that stalker who hides in that closet, seriously though what's the deal with her anyway XD, just weird moment.

It was alright. I've only just been introduced to these characters so I found it a little hard to care about Usami's plight to attract waifu-man's love or attempt to keep him in the club, but the characters themselves seem fun. Plus the drama was laid on far too thick to be enjoyable. Still though the production values are pleasant and I can certainly see a bit of charm here.

A bit early to call, but while I'd never call a series this trashy my AOTS I think it may be the most successful anime I've seen this summer. What I mean by that is it's actually very good at what it sets out to do. It has an alright aesthetic (I'll be it one that kind of bites the KyoAni style), it has good banter and an occasionally witty sense of humor, it has a cringe worthy amount of fan service (what it's best at) and it even is pretty good at having humorous little drawings that sort of validate it's Art Club gimmick. I was chuckling at the anthropomorphized apple in this episode.

It has a pretty fun cast of characters so far too. I really like the slacker club president, as I am a fan of any slacker character in high school animes. Subaru the series protagonist has an amusing personality, even if I think his design doesn't exactly fit it. And holy crap I can see her tsun cranked up to 11 act getting old pretty quick but I really like Usami. She's my favorite part here in the first episode, she's really cute and I love when she berates and attacks Subaru for his otakudom. I wouldn't say I was upset by it or anything, but I was a little we'll say perplexed by how over the top the fan service was with her panties in that one scene though.

I can see myself getting tired of this series real quick. It's a good thing it's only 12 episodes. But as sad as this is, I think this is easily the best anime from studio Feel I've seen other than Oregairu Season 2. It's very watchable and performs as advertised which is more than you can say for some.

I think I like the director of this. Just because of the sad part which is actually sad even if the outcome is obvious. Examples of how a generic scene can become great with good directing. Sad music is spot on too. Without that scene I won't add this on my watchlist.

Well, surprisingly I like this anime. I didn't expect to at first and thought it'd be a let down but the art and SoL combo works for me, the only down is that the girl MC is a bit of a tsundere.

Why haven't I watched this show until now? This was surprisingly quite good.
I thought I heard that flustered voice and those comebacks of Usami somewhere. Turns out, she's voiced by the voice actress of Chiyo from Gekkan Shoujo. Hell, Usami with her unrequited love for a weirdo, is pretty much like a middle school version of Chiyo.

He had convinced me a lot this anime series in the various PV, but his strengths were, however, confirmed: graphics and animations. Even the protagonist Usami, has succeeded in its protagonist dirty work in entertaining the viewer, now you just see the next episodes to overreach a bit more, given that the start was very buttoned. Not bad gags, the presentation of the character of Colette quite unusual. As I said before, I do not imbalance that much, even though I found it much more convincing other summer anime series such as New Game and Amanchu.
I forgot, were cute the opening and ending.



This scene was "really" fun. XD

I decided to give this show a go purely because I wanted to experience the nostalgia of creating art within a school environment. Also painting is my forte and I've previously studied 6 years of art.

I'm guessing this series is about: Traditional art vs. contemporary art

I was happy to see the Paul Cesanne reference in this anime, as he was once my inspiration for my still life paintings. I'm hoping to see more fantastic painter references in the following episodes.

Lol call me old fashioned, but what kind of person paints anime characters on stretched canvases? O.o

Amazing amazing amazing episode, amazing in the sense that this show has a classy feel to it, a clear cut art style and animation that shows the work the animators put in, along with amazing soundtracks, all those made the episode really enjoyable and nostalgic. It truly feels like anime once more, anime that I loved so much when I first started getting into this media.

The comedic timing could've been a lot better though. Voice acting could've used some improvement but nothing is too much of a deterrent right now. I can't wait to see the blonde shorty, I like her design the most out of all of them.

P.S. looking at some of the art, it truly makes you want to pursue art, doesn't it?

I actually do like the chemistry of the 2 main characters. So it was a good first episode, a couple of funny moments. I hope the "embarrassed love, dense main character" thing doesn't get to annoying here though.

I saw that girl in the locker, which was funny XD she's that small blond girl from the OP and ED, wonder then she'll make a real appearance...

Also, I liked the waifu drawing of that cute girl.



Seriously, I might just as well marry her.
