| everything is great aside from those white strokes wtf are those i really dont mind the cg stuff |
 |
| Slowly noticing each other and falling in love soo cute~~~ Loved it. |
The way she said LINE was oddly cute. |
| is it just me or is romance in japan super akward almost all the time? "uh...uh...eh...ehm...uh....." anyway the atmosphere is good and i also like animation, they should have reduced the glossiness though - it looks like everyone has greasy hair and wears latex clothes |

| Cute anime, curious if the characters will have some good development. Really liked the OP. Art style is alright. I wonder what this show will bring. |
 |
| okay...that was good, a heart warming innocent young romance! OP & ED was performed by Touyama Nao...nice! LOL at all that awkwardness on the restaurant! 5/5. |

| This was probably the most realistic episode of an anime I've ever seen. |
| Best first episode for the season so far |
| I can't believe how much I love this show from just watching the first episode. I was able to relate to the protag so easily! A quite guy who's average in terms of popularity but has some really close friends. The restaurant scene? YEAH, I've experienced that as well and it was awkward af. Man, this show makes me miss my school days. Dis gon be gud. |
 |
| Well this was a decent episode. The art-style is good-ish i like the colors, lighting, and shading, but some of the characters facial designs look off. sometimes the background characters are CGI and it's very easy to notice them, but at least they're in the background. The OST for the show was good as well. the starting off was pretty good, the characters went from li king each other and stuttering when they talk to somewhat talking normally to each other and getting each other LINE ID. the two main characters are decent since there is more to their characters outside of being school kids in love. there were some cringey moments, but in a good way like Kotarou opting to get iced coffe instead of soda in order to look mature in front of Akane. i think i can continue watching this |

| And don't forget, people. LINE!!! Line. And also, Line. Ah, I almost forgot, Line too! |

| Pretty good directing on this episode. Somehow the scenes with 3D characters walking in the background caught my eyes, but I'm glad everything else looks nice. I like the characters and the artstyle (reminds me of Mikakunin de Shinkoukei). I'm curious to see how the story unfolds |
| First episode was good. Really the music instrumental. Slow paced but enjoyable. Akane is cute!!!! Looking forward for the next episode. Agree, this show has potential. |
| I'm kind of going into this one blind, but I thought visuals were pretty interesting when I checked on it and watched the first episode. After one episode, I have to admit that I absolutely love the aesthetic. The art and animation is downright gorgeous and I'm really digging the animation. As for the story and characters, it was a pretty slow start. I felt the characters were almost too stilted at first. I get that they are both nervous as it is obvious that the two characters are attracted to each other, but watching them awkwardly try to talk to each other had me cringing at times...and I'm an introvert that sometimes has problems talking to people and even I thought they were too stilted. Still, it got a little better toward the end of the episode. I will say that that restaurant scene was too surreal. It sure seemed like this pinned a family attitude in a restaurant environment down to a T. I swear that scene really reminded me of going out to eat with my family growing up. Overall, I have a lot of high hopes for this series. I think it could be pretty damn good. |
| Show has a lot of potential to be fantastic. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| Went into this show completely blind and was pleasantly surprised by the first episode. Artwork mimicking water-coloured paintings reminiscent of Grimgar and Battery were beautiful to behold. I also liked the fact it made use of real products to add to the realism somewhat (Line, gravures of real idol groups - anyone saw NMB48 and HKT48 in that mag that MC picked up? Too bad the restaurant scene wasn't in Wagnaria. heh) Thought the pacing was pretty good - miles better than Orange. Definitely has potential to be a sleeper of this season. |
| I find it interesting to see the mixed opinions. The whole premise just makes for this kind of reactions. I myself really enjoyed it. I like both main characters. I don't think being shy or quiet makes you boring, in the context of this specific anime, it's actually the perfect personality. And their personalities blend really well together, I find them to be a cute couple. It's fairly obvious already that they'll end up together, even though Hira, for example, likes Akane. The ending gives it away with the whole holding hands thing. It's pretty chill, calm and cute so far, and it's been some time since I've seen anything like this. It got me interested in seeing more. Anyone's got any recommendations of chill pure romances like this one? |
| wow this ep help to fall asleep fast hmm anyway i guess this is the realistic story of Kimi ni Todoke |
 |
| I like the OP and ED songs |
| Wow, what a nice surprise. Pretty nostalgic and old-school looking title, dealing with insecurities in coming of age. I like it. And it even felt pretty real, like something that could happen to anyone. Slice-of-life at its best. Even the animation was nice and it set the mood perfectly. And the backgrounds, the background were great. Definitely gonna follow this, it may be a hidden gem of this season. |
| Exactly what I expected, which for once is a good thing. Nice down to earth show with great character designs, and I'm also loving the backgrounds. Really sets the tone right. |
 |
| I thought it was alright. Very Colorful and vibrant which looks real good expect for the CGI people!! I know it's cost effective to do it but it was distracting especially from the rest of the animation. I'm not into lovey dovey crap but it seems alright. |
| the main female is so annoying i almost dropped it. other than that, it looks nice |
 |
| Felt a little slow....but I'm cool with that. |
 |
| Ah, I felt so awkward and embarrassed while watching this.. Down to earth that's how I would describe this. Simple yet enchanting. Although I was not fond of those CGI background characters. :-( |
 |
| Ohh!! Surprisingly good. Reminds me of Wandering Son. =) It's slow and down to earth which I enjoy. CGI is awkward but art overall is great. |
| Liked so much. It was a random pick of season for me and damn, I enjoyed a lot. Looks like ages I saw an anime where shows characters that really act like normal people, without cliches and that kind of stuff. I'm glad I picked this today, because next episode it will be released tomorrow! :3 |
 |
| Beautiful first episode. The MC ... I ship them so hard |
| This episode feels so long...but the mains are cute tho. Naobou's songs are so good! <3 |
| I think that's the first time I've ever seen a full family eating out together in an SOL anime... everyone usually eats at home in anime, lol. I bet LINE has some kinda promotion with this anime, haha... It's nice so far. Quite generic, but I enjoy the slow build-up, how their interaction is told simply through glances. It's nice to see an innocent romance every once in awhile. Hilarious when the parents introduced themselves before the kids. xD I also love the design of the school. It has a lot of character compared to the generic school setting we see in most anime. "Dazai once said that the feeling of joy is perhaps like a speck of gold, glimmering faintly at the bottom of a river of grief." I've got to read Osamu Dazai now... The guy reminds me of myself in high school -- I was obsessed with Murakami and Mishima. |

| I don't know why but this really really annoyed me. Pacing was slow, high school setting was uninspired and some of the CGI was just lazy and ugly. I like the overall art style of the show, but the characters (both design and personalities) were really annoying. Both MC's act like they are living a superhard life, when they are just normal teenagers, with nice and friendly parents, who act like normal people do. The dude's philosophical musing about nothing, can also fuck off. I did like the part where he ordered coffee to look cool in front of her, but looking at the rest of the episode that was something rather out of character for him to do. |
| That was a rather slow start, but I loved the serene feel of it. The mood was set very well, the awkward moments between the two felt very real and I'm looking forward for more. |
| the Ads are getting smarter the pacing is so slow but still good OST is great too, especially the ED it feels like watching ishuukan friends again... |
 |
| CG background characters eww. But the slow paced romance setting is cute and it really draws me in. Has potential to be something really good. |
 |
| A 14year old girl with comforter/cuddly toy? o_O The look is weird thanks to the lines and shining borders, it changes. ^^ 3/5 |
| The art it's pretty nice, also, I like this kind of romance, starting all shy and all. ED is cute. |
 |
| Straight up died laughing at the restaurant scene, that was executed perfectly |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| I can't believe I missed this romance show in my list! D: The first episode is so cute and calm... this could have been perfect if they didn't use scary CGI for background characters lol. I wonder if LINE is one of the producers of this anime? seems fishy XD |
  ใ I was nothing until the moment I met you. ใ |
| The animation is so bad sometimes lmao. I hope it'll get better |
| Here's to hoping this show's romance actually goes somewhere! |
