In the beginning this looked very promising. However, I feel like they're partly ruining it with too much foreshadowing in the very first episode.

About Luxembourg, I thought it was a transcription error?

The thing I liked most were those Rainbow Shogun scenes with the epic music XD
I'll wait some more episodes to judge. Liked it, but I didn't fall instantly in love with it.
anyway i was the one who typo the Luxembourg thing down there and i only use it as real life equivalent reference

Yep, I meant I thought the anime name (Lasenbourg?) was the typo, but then came here and saw everyone was using it so I suppose they use a fictional name.

curses you dude 3d Kanojo was made by the studio who made the disastrous Marchen Madchen and u said that it was good? anyway anyway i got completely sold on this anime and even i myself will continue watching this anime instead of that 3D Kanojo bullshit
They are both good in their own ways. 3D focus is going to be on the main couple and has a smaller cast than Tada-kun.

Nice to see Mamoru Miyano voicing another comical character, haven't seen one in a while.

Nothing particularly special so far though. Anime felt like product placement for Nikon.

Just a thought... When Teresa first introduced herself, she might have been going to say, "Teresa, Duchess of Larsenburg."

So from the studio and staff that did Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun comes Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai. Gotta say that I liked the first episode, and I liked the comedy. And Teresa a cutie.

So far, so good.

Was pretty good, and I'm not into romance that much. Pretty predictable plot points though. I'm guessing Teresa is royalty and her family has some connection to the coffe shop/grandpa. I'm also guessing the glasses girls also has a thing for the MC, while red head warms up to the best friend over time. Still though not too many decent rom com anime's as of late so I'll watch.

The way Teresa hid her surname and the way Alec acts like Teresa's bodyguard and addresses her with -sama when they are on their own could virtually mean only one thing!

Why make Teresa a Princess?! Dammit.

I thought it was alright for the first episode. Teresa is definitely a very nice girl, but she's also the type of character that I don't particularly find interesting to watch. It's only the first episode though, maybe I'll like her more later on ^^; It was a bit much how Tada coincidentally sees Teresa in just one episode, somewhat immersion breaking. Something else I find weird is how is Alexandra shortened as Alec? Then again, I'm not that familiar with European name pronunciation, so maybe it makes sense in their language.

I do like the lighthearted tone and the visuals. Nyanko Big is hilarious as well, but what a name lol.


It's basically Alek. Alex without the S sound. It's a direct shortening. They were probably going for a more unique name. It's not Alex, but it still makes sense.

I mean, they already made it clear that she's from the royal family even before the anime aired with their ads when you look back when it was first announced on MAL.

Despite of having way too many "accidental" meets in one day for my taste, it seems it will be a decent rom-com.

Let me go ahead and beat the dead horse of complaining about far far to many coincidental meetups.

The character interactions are alright so far, hopefully the characters are a bit more fleshed out in the next few episodes.

Isn't there a lot of coincidence in anime in general? Realistically, yeah. It's stupid but it's a work of fiction where coincidence can happen as many times.

Ok, let me first get this out of the way. I enjoyed the first episode. It was light-hearted, funny, and laid the groundwork for things to come with lots of subtle hints. I'm also probably going to enjoy the show as a whole and I wont regret watching it and wont be disappointed that it was created. Let me also say that I'm not going to compare this to Nozaki-kun since I dont really have a desire to.

That being said, I think this show is basically the ultimate cock-slap to the face of anyone who was a fan of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. It shares a few of the same voice actors, most namely the MC in Nakamura, Yuuichi. Shares the same artist for the opening theme, comes from the same goddamn studio, and basically shares all of the same staff members as well in the exact same roles: same director, same script writer, same music, same band for opening theme, same character designer and animation director.

With all of those similarities, with bringing all of the previous important staff back, and with making every aspect of the show as similar to Nozaki-kun as humanly possible (specifically the comedy so far since we havent delved into any romance yet), why not devote those resources into making a fucking second season of that instead? Especially when it's an already established series with IMMENSE fucking popularity in Japan and internationally. By going anime original you're taking a chance with it being successful (i'm assuming it will be since this show will obviously attract Nozaki-kun fans, and rom-com fans in general)?

Again I have no problems with the show, aside from the fact that the running joke of Ijuuin being terrified of Alec has already been beaten to death inside of one episode and is only bound to get worse. I'm just perplexed as to why they tried so extremely hard to get everyone on board to make as close of a knock-off as possible when they could've just made the real thing.

Wagner also might not be her real last name. Given that she's from a small European country she's probably a duchess or some form of royalty.

That's definitely a possibility as well.

I mean it's literally a fifty-fifty shot. She was either going to introduce herself as "Duchess", or her actual royal last name if she's hiding it begins with "Du".

first time i felt real bad for the abused boy after getting hit for hitting on someone he was traumatized lol plus it's Miyano his characters are always fun that it's hard to hate em.

No problem bro. You will watch what you like. That's why this is a discussion thread. Everybody can express their opinions on the show. It doesnt matter that the studio made some bad anime in the past. Anyways im looking forward to the both shows, just my expectations for now are toward 3d kanojo. Thats my opinion.

Well, Doga Kobo has been pretty steady going with their style. It looks as good as it has been with their modern releases. And my god Teresa is adorable.

It was funny overall but I really wish they limit the gag between Kaoru and Alec. It got a bit repetitive even within a single episode. As I expected from the studio but I'd argue that its comedy could possibly be even funnier than things from last year like Gabriel Dropout and Himouto Umaru-chan.

And it would be interesting to see them handle a romance anime properly as I have yet to see them fully nail that. But I am hopeful for this.

And lastly, congratulations to Luxembourg for actually having some mention in anime. Wow, that's amazing. ^_^

Its like they were so desperate to copy nozaki-kun that they missed the point and just made a show with tropes nozaki was parodying. It wasnt bad but outside of the expressive animation it felt very lacking in almost everywhere, jokes never really connected, characters feel like they all are copied from other shows, and it just had 1 too many cliches to really be overlooked.

I hope it improves cause otherwise i really regret picking this up.
