| I imagined her (akira)'s voice to be a bit more softer when i was reading the manga. Not bad still though. |
| I have not read the manga before. Loved the first episode, it was pretty cute. Maybe it is just me but I feel bothered that all of the animation is top notch but the face shots of Tachibana weirdly give me the 90s anime vibe. Maybe it is intentional due to art style, definitely not a deal breaker. |
| After The Rain has a pretty solid opening episode. There is a good balance of humor and character exploration, with just enough romance to get me curious about what happens next. Great direction, intriguing character design, good pacing, and beautiful presentation. Very impressed! |

| I'm quite surprised this was actually good I got interested in this anime two months ago when I so promotional video not even the trailer was released the art was so fabulous I got hooked right away and the story is quite intriguing, my thoughts on the first episode is quite good the restaurant design is well done but the kitchen area is too small couldn't they make it bigger the school just looks plain boring, and it seems she was in the running club I don't know if that's even the right way to say it though and she quit because of her injury. Aside from the snffing part it was quite good 4/5 |
true lol the moment i see the manager, he just remind me of him a lot and somehow the chara art style on this anime kind of remind me of patlabor that got stretched a bit like shoujo manga design. |
| That was a really beautiful episode of anime. Loved the artwork, and the music. |
 |
| Kind of gross, but we'll see where this goes. |

I'm not really a fan of romances but decided to start it just for the Wit Studio's visuals. And yeah it looked beautiful  I liked the mood, and the characters didn't feel too generic. The girl was acting creepy at times but in a funny way. (Also I loved how the opening got so weird and random at one point lol.) |
 |
| the character design is so 80s... i fuck with it... shes cute lol dem legs |

Tsundere said: I thought it was gonna be a little more subtle but when she literally sat there sniffing his shirt I noped the fuck out lol it's bad enough that he could basically be her dad but the fact that she clearly has a sexual attraction towards him is a nope for me. at least the old man is still in his right sense of mind, no idea for how much longer though. not gonna stick around to find out ๐๐ They are real people. Why do you care about their ages? |
 |
| The old guy design remind me of something really familiar, Kaiji? Conan?I don't think si, I can;t remember at all. actually maybe it is conan. |

| A Seinen Romance anime, that's a rare breed. Enjoyable episode, mainly interested to see how it plays out once Kondou responds to her feelings and how that comes across. |
 |
| I know I'm going to like this because of the director and i was right |
| I like the mood this show gives but that romance is so not my thing. The "romance" between Maika and Dino already felt pretty awkward to me once it was revealed he was ten years older, and now we have another teenager with a 45 year old guy... Age gaps didn't use to bother me before but idk, guess that's not my fetish. Will keep watching to see how it goes tho Also if someone gave me coffe without me asking I wouldn't fall in love, I'd find it very inconvenient since I really dislike coffe and would be to shy to say it, so I'd have to drink it and ugh |

| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Pretty mediocre show so far. Had to pause several times because of intentionally awkward scenes that were uncomfortable to watch. Main character is unlikable but the old guy seems okay. Sadly the best part of this show so far are the visuals. |
| Haven't seen a solid romance in a while, and this is seinen so it should be pretty solid, and this first episode was pretty good so I'm exited |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I already read through this part of the manga, yet somehow, here it's funnier. I'm glad this resembles the manga's art-style because I kinda liked it. |
 |
| Was really enjoyable and liking the visuals. Expect that at least from Wit. Poor guy that keeps trying to get her ID, forever friend zone. Actually not even friend zone, even lower. Lulz at the smelling his shirt scene and casually going back to eating despite being caught in the act. Been a while since I've heard anything from Aimer too, nice they teased us it with her listening to it on her phone. Haven't seen the PVs so didn't know. |

 |
| Really nice start. Honeyworks OP and Aimer ED is awesome. :D I really liked the focus on the atmosphere of the show rather than just throwing exposition with dialogue. The shots with Tachibana's eyes are fantastic. The manager is a nice guy. xD |
 |
She reminds me a lot of Sawako  |
| I was trying to find who Akira reminded me of design wise. Then I remembered Komi from Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu |
 |
| I keep seeing people say this show is visually beautiful. Are we watching the same show? The character designs are pretty meh- especially the really long necks. Very little detail in any side-character at all. Lot of things just look really "Flat". Close ups of the eyes were good, though. Backgrounds were gorgeous, but not a level we don't see very often. Actual story and such was pretty entertaining. Still wondering if they'll do this tastefully enough to not be gross. I definitely have faith that they will, though. Easily the best OP of the season for me, and the ending is in the top 2 for sure. I need to hear the full versions ASAP |
 |
| As a young girl who is also into middle-aged men, I whole-heartedly approve. |
Wasshio said: If you compare it to general anime then its not outstanding but its good on its own. But, when you compare this in terms of consistency to stuff like MahoYome and SnK, both shows that were relying on a lot of outsourcing (from what I'm getting), then this is by far better in terms of artwork. Because those two fall off a lot. Though I would compare this more than MahoYome's work and style. But yeah as for the story and everything else its really good so far, and I think it'll go well if it keeps consistent like this. Honestly expected to get attacked for my comment. Thanks for explaining your opinion really well. That actually makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate your taking the time to write that up. Adding onto my original thoughts - This is easily one of the most interesting stories of the season. I was really expecting to see far more backlash at the plot than what I have seen so far online. High school girls falling for older men is very common and realistic. When done well, it can really be beautiful story. There's some live action Japanese movies I've seen with similar plot that I can't remember the titles of right now, but I remember at least one being really touching. I'm hoping this show makes me feel something in the end. In a season full of slice-of-life, it would be great to have something with emotional power. |

 Is she supposed to look teary-eyed? Looks more like she's sweating from her pupils. This is not how tear ducts work. |
