Well that was... a thing.

I feel like they didn't really do as much with the anime format as they could have? Like, when Nariyuki beat Rizu in the park, I was expecting something like scorecards over their heads saying "20:0", or a win counter going up to 20, but no, they just had Nariyuki say "I won 20 times in a row" - which, while fine for getting the point across, isn't really making full use of the medium. They did, however, do it very well with Fumino getting smaller and her voice getting squeakier, so maybe all isn't lost. (This is because Fumino is best girl and makes everything she touches golden.)

I don't know, maybe it's because I was spoiled with Kaguya-sama last season - which, adaptationally speaking, is one of the best anime I've ever seen. But it's not like I hated the episode or anything.

Waifu war commence. TEAM FUMINO GO! Our tall flat chested goddess.

Those pencil spin animations in the opening, wows. Parts feels almost rotoscoped or maybe it is.

I liked this first chapter. I see that it will be a funny story. I'm not a "harem" fan, but I'll give the anime a try.
Another anime to my list this season 😁👌. Last season we had Gotoubun no Hanayome and now they give us this xD.

PS: The animation is very colorful for me, it's the only thing I do not like.

Does this show actually go anywhere or is it just going to be rinse and repeat every week? I'd rather know so I can decide if I want to continue.

For the first episode, it wasn't that bad, animation could be better, VA are pretty good, not as miss as Matsuoka Yoshitsugu as Uesugi ugh.
we'll see how it goes next ep.

And you are all wrong, there is only one right truth, and is TEAM Harem, everything else is blasphemy 😈.

Loved it! Just as I expected I would. Took a bit too many screenshots haha. Both the main guy and Furuhashi were awesome. Looking forward to the next episode.

I miss not seeing fanservice everywhere I thought it would be that kind of harem, but still without getting excited or catching my attention

However I prefer a light hearted idiot harem that knows what it is over the so-edgy-it-cuts-itself idiot harems like Golbin Slayer and Shield Hero that have come into vogue lately.

Off to a promising start! Op and Ed were great! I don't have any problem with the animation, the manga is kinda cartoony to begin with.

It is going to rush through a lot of material, though. Asumi doesn't show up until Ch#31.

Not a fan of the brocon element in the 1st ep.(It does show up in the manga a few times, but I didn't expect it in ep 1).

Cute OP and ED. I already love it. I feel like watching Gotoubun Hanayome but it feels more 'fresh' for me. I love Fumino's character, so adorable. Then, how will this anime build the harem? I'm gonna looking forward of it

there isnt really any repeats. in the manga when they dont have a sort of small arc which takes about a few chapters length then each chapter is the MC doing shit with either 1 of the girls or with all the girls in one form or another. it does have some rinse and repeat chapters but there done really well were its still funny.

i love how u can say that after just one episode :feelsgoodman: they do go in more depth of reasons why later in the series and sure its not the most "original" premise but its a fun series, not saying u should watch it if u dont like these type of shows but the author makes it generic on purpose and tries to not take itself seriously and just have a fun time with it.

Amazing first episode! To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should give this show a chance but I'm glad I did because it has an interesting premise and likeable characters. It's easy to like the main characters for the simple reason that they have something to prove and something to work for. Harem anime protagonists run the risk of coming off as boring and generic, which is why their series always put a huge importance on their interactions with their supporting cast, and I believe that the show will either stand or fall by the strength of its character writing. Nariyuki understands he is shouldering a huge burden by tutoring these girls, so I hope things work out for all of them. Definitely a keeper for this season!

The manga is pretty average anyway despite having a decent start(quickly gets repetitive with its cliches and tropes), and this was even worse presentation than what I expected. Probably will just keep watching to see some fun Senpai chapters adapted later on.

I knew that somebody was gonna compare this to Gotoubun xD

The difference here is that unlike our lovely Quints, these girls aren't total idiots academic wise xD What hooked me on this manga was how they both wanted to major in the subject that the other is a genius at but at the same time, they're trash in said subject lol (That and I instantly liked both girls a lot + the MC wasn't annoying)


And that both are different types of harem, toubun focuses more on plot progression, bokuben has more of Slice of life elements.

Gotoubun oneshot came out earlier tho. Regarding the ripping, both authors are drinking buddies so they must have shared about the concept early on and proceed with their ideas. It's not wrong to compare but from your comment and score, seems like you have personal vendetta on 5toubun. Both are fun series .Be glad and hope they adapted your favourite chapters.

Not entirely happy with the animation quality here, but the story is starting off well (big fan of harems here), particularly with the confession/proposal to both of them at the same time. I doubt we'll get my dream ending (true harem--time skip--epilogue showing everyone cohabiting and rearing a brood of youngsters), but it looks like a fun ride.

Ok that was fun, I really liked Fumino and Rizu and as I said with the key visuals, the ones that appeal me more design wise are Fumino and the sensei...

But those tan lines and that ass, damn, I think I'm going to like this girl a lot.

Looks like it's gonna be hard to pick a best girl xD

I knew people will start comparing this with 5bun, its all about preferences, I for one love the cast of bokuben more than 5bun simply because the girls here has a goal they want to reach... unlike 5bun where they don't really have a goal besides them being forced to study
.
5bun focuses more on the romance side, bokuben focuses more on their goals and then adding some romance/slice of life/comedy stuff in between, while we're at it Kaguya focuses on heavy comedy romance with some time to time heavy drama arcs.
Basically my rating of them goes Kaguya>Bokuben>5bun. Nothing wrong with liking 5bun more than bokuben, its just that 5bun doesn't really make me laugh when it tries to be funny, Bokuben and Kaguya tho makes me laugh with some good ol character arcs in it too.
Fumino's a walking meme.

what? We Never Learn started before Gotoubun

Love the girls, next episode we're going to see the girl with a tan. The animation and art is better than expected. At first I was thinking why the score was so low, but after I watched the episode, I realised it's because not a lot of things happened in it. Makes sense, I guess the score will go up in the next episode.

The scene about failures hit me really hard lol. Not a fan of harem but the characters seem pretty endearing so I'll continue watching it.
As a psychology student, it makes me so annoyed that Rizu wants to study liberal arts to get into psychology so she can understand emotions better. Psychology is much more of a science than an arts subject and Rizu's knowledge of experimental methods and statistics would actually help a lot more than literary analysis skills, and it doesn't help you understand emotions any better lol. It would make more sense if she went for literature.

Better than what I expected, not surprising since it was at an all-time low, since it's a new studio and from the PV it didn't look good.

I just hope they can make the animations and present the show a bit better tho, kinda like Kaguya-sama. Then again, it is still the first episode, and all they did was introduce a few of the main characters, so I'm keeping my hopes high, since I love the manga and don't wanna be disappointed

It's just that the manga of BokuBen started serializing half a year earlier than Gotoubun. So if anything is a knockoff, it's the other way around.

Although I think it was probably just coincidence that they had similar plot ideas at around the same time, since there's only half a year difference between the serializations.

Sigh...
People calling this a Gotoubun knockoff, etc.
1st off, note that BokuBen's Manga was published 7 months BEFORE Gotoubun.
Right. Since a lot of people already mentioned this above, I'm gonna keep this short. BokuBen's main focus is on Comedy ans Slice of Life while Gotoubun focuses more on the Plot (Story) and Romance side of things. They may share the same premise of male student tutoring other female students, but the plot as a whole is completely different.

Heey, it's actually better than I expected. Start with nice OP animation, following with good main animation. Not a fancy graphic like what big studio done, but still quite catchy.

As the story, well, might be another harem school story. So this two girls have dream that opposite to what they expertise. It's not weird, I knew some friends, back on my school time, who have similiar problem like them, but successfully got what they wanted.

Overall, ahh.. I think my watch list become 3 this season. Looking for next week.

P.s : that Ogata girl is cute, though. Like her more than the blue-haired one

The girls are fine but man I hate these fucking boring self insert MCs, Gotoubun gave me hope about watching Harems again but I can't when MC is avg joe good for nothing that gets stiff everytime something happens.

I guess I'm gonna stick, not like I have any choice, this season seems weak for what I like.
