The live-action movie of this won several awards including the Japanese Academy Award for Best Picture. I know this and that are completely separate things, I think the story will get better over time. That's the case with most dramas. |

| This was a highly enjoyable first episode. A show about creating dictionaries is something you don't see every day, so this should be interesting. Can't forget about the animation either. That was so fluid and rock solid all the way through. Hopefully the show will keep that up. So far, so good. Absolutely loved the OP and ED as well. |
  |
| I didn't know what to expect from the premise, but this was a lovely surprise with a very good animation. I'm looking forward to how it develop. |
| Really solid first episode, a definite candidate for AOTS, although I'm loving Drifters a lot. |

| Better than expected and interesting and promising so far. I don't like Nishioka though, him badmouthing Majime was rather cringeworthy. Okay, he made a mistake and his social skills are lacking, but he seems to be more capable than Nishioka. |

| So the source material for this is by Rakugo's mangaka? Or just the character designs? Either way, this was really cool. It had quirky directing that didn't get in the way of the realism presented, the discussion on dictionaries was pretty cool, overall it had great animation and music and the characters were interesting. Really looking forward to continuing with this one. Potential AOTS material for me setting up strong competition for JoJo and Sangatsu no Lion. |
| Very interesting so far, looking forward to the next ep! |
| So, I think the animation was talked about earlier, but what I really wanna pay special attention to the directing style of this show. It's very different at the very least. It's not something you see in anime, much less anime like this. I'm not really knowledgeable about direction and directing styles and techniques, so it's somewhat hard to describe for me. I just found it rather interesting, and I'm not very sure what I feel about it. Storywise, it took a while for me to get hooked. I was rather bored in the first half of the episode, but I slowly started to get hooked. I frankly feel that some of the dialogue in the show is rather hammy or at least unsubtle, but I don't think it'll stop me from enjoying the show. I'd say this would indeed probably deserve the title "Most Underrated Show of Fall 2016". Maybe not AOTS but definitely should be noticed more. |

| Interesting first episode.I love these kind of slice of life anime :) |
| While I think most of the stuff was okay and the concept of making a dictionary is definitely good, this episode was pretty weird overall. Majime suddenly starting to tell what meaning of "air" was used there for no reason at all was super weird. Who the hell does that and why wasn't that other guy weirded out? That felt way off to me. And I didn't quite get that part when Araki was searching for Majime and the words started to come out or something. What was that about? How did that help him find Majime? And Majime was simply putting books in a shelf like everyone does, so what was different about him? This episode had some things which felt off. The OP was good and the visuals are nice. I'll do a few more episodes here to see if there isn't any more weirdness. |
| Its quite interesting. Being able to explain things correctly and in the clarity needed in a dictionary seems extremely hard. |
| I enjoyed watching this episode. The visuals are nice and the setting is relaxing. |
 |
| Pretty decent episode. The animation and overall atmosphere are really nice and even somehow relaxing imo. I hope this show will be able to reach a Barakamon-like quality, minus the comedy and plus emotion-wise of course. It's definitively promising. |
| Subbing this anime will be pain in the ass with all definitions of words |
I watch it for the plot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Wow amazing. Most underrated anime this season. Best 1st episode I have seen in a long time. All of the chars are nice and interesting. I bet the old lady did not just accidentally make too much food. (She probably feels lonly and likes to eat with someone together.) - So there should also be enough stuff in their personal life to show - besides only the work at the dictionary. But those 3 main chars still working (old guy, young guy from dictionary department and the sales guy) - that were were very nice moments. And great pacing and good introduction/contact between the old guy and the sales guy (I still need to learn the naems ha ha). Liked how the younger dictionary guy didn't get it and the older guy immediately recognized that the sales guy might be suited. Easily 5/5 for this episode and anime is already 9/10 for me. Might make be a 10 if they keep it up until the end. (And possible AOTS/AOTY.) But in this weak season ... might not be to hard to become AOTS at least. |
| I didn't get a thing from this. |
         |
| I was about to say "I smell a masterpiece" until that childishly animated bump showed up. I still think this is going to be a great show...and even greater if that bump never shows up again. Loved the ED! I wouldn't be surprised if it's later revealed that the MC is under the Autism umbrella as either high-functioning or Asperger's. |
 |
| I'd like to give kudos to the this show's English translator. Seriously, it's not easy interpreting a Japanese word due to the nature a Kanji can have - and that is having multiple meanings and pronunciations. I was sort of worried that I'd have a hard time to understand about it but luckily on the first episode, that was not even a problem. |
 |
| that was surprisingly good |
 |
| Im still offended why they didnt made it more comedic unlike the movie. |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| This episode was promising. I'm looking forward to watch him work on the dictionary. I was not aware that each dictionary was unique, but it looks interesting. |
| The animation is a little overdone imo, they actually matched the lip moments so it felt a tad awkward when the moments were too animated. Saying that, this was fantastic. And that ED, dayum. <3 |
| I'm so incredibly excited about this! The theme - all things bookish, not just in terms of the work being related to publishing but the fact that the main character is a big reader (so much so that there's barely any more place in his room for anything other than a futon), it seems like it's also going to be informative on different aspects of publishing (espc. dictionary related of course), and the constant focus on language makes me so happy. The animation is beautifully done and the opening song was definitely my favourite OST for this season so far! I feel like this is going to become a new favourite of mine. |
| Surprisingly very good, especially animation from Zexcs (shitty studio). ItsSebPlease said: Benio_ said: This anime cures insomnia. Zzzzz... Are you serious? And you list Hanasaku Iroha and Akame ga kill amongst your favorites.. :3 Eh, what's wrong with Hanasaku Iroha? |
 |
| Whew. I loved the episode. It was relaxing and had nice atmosphere. I also like the theme of of the anime. Will be looking forward to more. |
 |
| Wow. I knew show was going to be different, but I didn't expect it to be this good. The animation in particular stood out. It looked so nice. I'm excited to see them work on the dictionary. |

| Revised with subtitles in my native language, I re-appreciated so close to reality in the narrative and the excellent quality of the drawings and set designs. The subject matter attracts me a lot, I hope they can pull off a story that knows how to excite a lot. I can not wait to be discovered something more about the characters, even on this point, you play the success of this anime. Excellent opening and OST, ditto for the ending. Sympathetic the detachment, half episode, for descivere, the different types of existing dictionaries. |
 |
| This seems like it will be a very enjoyable series to watch. I like the atmosphere and the concentration on words will be interesting. |

But if we have to stay objective, the pacing of the whole show is not really the best. But everything is forgiven since it gave us one of the best characters ever <3  |
| Gwahh... a really good start 23 mins flow without me noticing. Really great anime with fluid animation I think it will be a really good and has a solid story. ED song is really good and give me a old japanese anime song vibe 5/5 for first eps |
 |
| I really liked this, both the story and animation was far better than I'd thought it would be. When I read about it felt like this season's more grownup title. I just hope it will continue to keep it up. |
 |
| Well, this was different than your usual anime. Even different than your usual Notanima. It's certainly very promising start although so far I'm still kinda lost about what main appeal of this will be. Creating dictionaries is very niche thing, almost old-school in today's information age world. Count to it that Japanese has very complicate language bound to context and tradition and the result is series somehow unique for the world of anime. I honesly wonder where they'll go from this starting point though. Cause editor's work can be very boring and tedious and for this series to be entertaining it has either go with superb abstraction of it or great visuals and dialogues. I hope for both. Me being translator myself, I'm using monolingual dictionaries too... and I really want to know how they can make everything entertaining to a viewer. |
| Graceful surprise, one of the best first episodes from this season. I really liked the seiyuu choices and the main theme seems good. Just don't understand why show the dictionaries definition in the middle of the episode and not at end. This first episode gave me a peaceful vibe, maybe the animation contribute a lot for this. 4/5 |
 |
| This anime confuses the hell out of me. It's too good to give a 7, but it's not quite good enough to give an 8. Fuck it, I'm giving it an 8 for now for the fact that this is, supposedly, an anime about creating a dictionary. I love the opening. The ending song isn't bad either. |

 |
| Slow paced but alright. Was looking forward to this and yep, not disappointed. I wonder how they are going to explore in the subject of editing a dictionary. Gonna be interesting 😀 |
| I thought that it would be something rather boring, but it isn't at all. Nice direction. And interesting art direction too. I liked the OP song.

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Seems promising, very unusual premise for a series. I really liked when Majime described the word "right", especially since he was able to take its definition as a direction and still apply it toward its usage for ideology. |
 |
| Novels make some of the best adaptations. This is such a specific and strange topic to cover. |

O Already answered to this on a previous post and made clear I like Hanasaku Iroha, but we just gotta admit that it's not a fast paced anime. |
| I like these seinen type series a lot, their plots are nice and despite it being aimed for a more mature audience, it's still very entertaining. I loved dictionaries as a child and to this very day, I still collect word power books, both physical books and e-books for my Kindle. Both Majime and Nishioka are interesting characters. Majime looks like a sweet bookworm. :) The kind of guy I would date in real life. |
