Not a bad episode first up to begin things off. Good animation coupled with a good soundtrack is nice to see. Koshiyama seems like a nerdy genius too despite his slow reflexes. Fukami, too, seems like a genius of her kind but I'm not sure if her voice is suited. Hopefully, we will get to see more characters and their interactions in the episode due to come.

wow the VA who voices the main female character should take a Japanese lesson to improve her pronunciation.

Meh, start. I'll give this the ol' three episode try. I really like Mari's VA though her voice is easy on the ears.

Good first episode. It was much better than expected (I didn't think that it would be bad, but also not that good either). Looking forwards to next week!

Very entertaining show once it gets to the quizzes. They presented it really well and that makes for exciting stuff to happen in the future, they'll definitely go competitive here.

Is Fukami's voice actor new? Haven't heard this voice before.

Interesting premise but I swear if they keep dawdling on the MC's monologue every time he answers... the female MC's voice was already grating as it is and if they overplay the MC's bumbling personality this anime will become unbearable very fast, which would be a shame since the concept is entertaining

Well I like the quiz part of it, but the stuff outside the actual game was pretty awkward. Like forget about her panties already, geez >.>

Also the main girl's VA sounded pretty amateurish to me. From what I can see she's a new girl and all but I didn't really like her performane here. It felt off and lifeless

The VA of the main girl doesn't fit in the first episode. Her voice lacks the impact and acting this kind of serie needs. That reminds me of the sister in Denpa Kyoushi... ><
Hope she get better in the next episodes and that she's not like Chitose (the character) from Gi(a)rlish Number. ^^'

The main character reminds me of an Arima Kousei without the troubled past, but I guess it'll be fun to watch him grow into a confident Quiz King™.

Fukami reminds me of Chihaya from Chihayafuru for some reason...

It was okay I guess but the humor felt really cheesy and doesn't escape cliche pitfalls. (I mean, accidentally seeing a girl's panties..) The quiz stuff got me interested into the show though as viewers can play along with the episodes.

I might have to get used to Fukami's voice a bit. She sounds strange imo.

I had the manga on my PTR list but seeing what a garbage MC this series has I guess it's no to both. You can make a decent series about quizzes but as with every weird premise, you need to have good characters to carry the show. Not shit like this.

I have read the manga to some point and was surprised to see this becoming an anime. So the first episode was great but it would have been better if a newbie voice actress wasn't as the female main character. It sounded cringy and uncomfortable. The plot is great but the voice is just a turn off for me.

It's because she's originally an actress, so it sounds like normal realistic voices.

When I looked her up, she has plenty of shows and movies. Like 21 tv shows and 5 movies.

I guess if she gets more anime roles, we will eventually get used to it.

That was a nice first episode, almost what I expected after reading the manga.
Fukami's VA sounded quite different, like more plain. After reading this discussion I can see I'm not the only one who feels like that...
Since this is the first main character job the VA does, I hope that she'll improve after a few episodes :).
I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :)

It has been said by many people but damn, Mari's voice is bad. Its not just that i don't think that voice suits her, but it also doesn't sound natural.

It looks interesting other than that, i just hope i can keep listening to that voice for 12 episodes.

Episode: 2/5.
Anime: 6/10.
Dropped.

Seems your usual stuff. Other anime like Baka to Test were similar and much better. From the description I thought of weak main + dominant girl (which would have been boring). Since the girl seems to be shy sometimes as well this still feels okay. And the quiz club president seems cool.

But since I already have lots of other stuff that I plan to watch and this is average at best from the setting/plot/chars I won't continue watching this.

I might have given it 1or 2 more episodes until a final decision if the voice actress of that girl weren't that bad. Now I'm not against newbies. They need to train somehow and everyone was a beginner at some point ... but this voice just reminded me (especially at the end) of some young buy (elementary school) and it feels weird if a girl is talking but you visualize a young boy in your mind. Lower than average char design (girl could have been drawn more beautiful) also did not help here.

I'm pretty sure at episode 1, Episode score = Anime score and 2/5 is equal to 4/10 if I'm not the stupid one here hmm :thinking:

Okay so this fingerblaster anime is full form but then all the shows I'm really interested in are like 10 mins ? I have no idea

Quiz bowl is sorta like Knowledge Bowl (a state competition where I'm from)
I'll give this two more episodes and see if I'll continue it
Also what does this anime have cross-dressing?

Huh? Most of you here are complaining about voice acting of main girl. I really liked it tbh. To he precise, I went to this thread because I wanted to say that I liked her voice actress xD it's just different, that's all.

Btw, nice start. I'm rather not interested in quizzes etc, but they got me interested.
Unexpectedly, I'm looking forward for more.

Not a bad episode, but not really strong enough to justify continuing. I think I'll pass.

Personally this show isn't for me in all honesty. The first half felt too slow for my taste and not only that, I kinda disliked the main male character, and the second half felt underwhelming for me as well. The only thing I liked about this is the Opening and Mari... that's kind of it.

For now I'll leave it at dropped, but I'll pick it up later on at some point. It's just not for me in the end.

Only thing I didn't like was the panty shot. The quiz concept was definitely something I liked, good to see in an anime.
Mari's VA was...weird, though. Like it didn't belong there at all, didn't match with her facial expressions.

I'll also hop onto the "weird VA voice" train, but considering she's only done 3 supporting and this is her first major role I'm willing to be patient. This isn't a romcom or anything where "traditionally sexy" voice acting is required. All I hope for is that she can grow over time and become a new voice. We seriously need some new female leads. I'm getting tired of hearing the same 6 voices, 2 of which are indistinguishable.

dated art, little movement of characters the concept is cool but the animation and art is going to turn a vast majority away. hopefully it improves. im not going to give my full opinion on the plot yet but the panties added nothing not even character development really its just there maybe to pad the runtime. whatever

This anime was a real pleasant surprise to me. I never heard of the manga before but this show seems really great. Was won over by it instantly.

Also I really enjoyed Umika's performance. I always really loved more masculine/deep/gravely sounding seiyuu, so I loved her performance so far.

OP was great, yeah the main female VA isn't handling her role really well atm. There's always room for improvement. It didn't really have any ridiculous ways of becoming faster at pressing the buzzer. Overall a pretty nice start. :)
