| Wow, just watched the first episode about 30 minutes after I found out this anime/manga existed. I feel that I've definitely found a gem in this fall season of CR licensing T^T and "cute/hot babes with weapons" (not that there's anything wrong with that). |
| Damn..even though i have read the manga and knew what will happened..but that was Beautiful! They are adapting it very very well..the BGM fit in perfectly and makes the atmosphere very real 5/5 Generic? Predictable? Animation? Screw that if this anime can makes me feels this good |
 |
| This was extremely cute and funny. I'll definitely continue it. |
| This was very nice. Haven't read the manga but I will definitely be watching this show. By the end of the episode it felt like I just finished a great movie....a lot of stuff happened (at least it seemed like it) in this episode yet it felt like it was going at a really good pace. The music was great too...some dramatic stuff going on there that fits very well with this show. I'm looking foreword to the rest of this series. |
| wow.. 1st episode was great. Love the refreshing feeling. Not just refreshing but "100% refreshing" xD Btw , theres something wrong wif the character profiles OMG. Their height indicates 1.75CM and 1.58CM. Should be changed to M . |

| Mokyuu♥~!! |
| Started out a bit differently than I expected, but that's a good thing. Waiting for the next episode. |
| It was cute and funny and awesome. I shall surely watch this series. The only series which impressed me this season till now. |
 |
| I must say I think I have seen the plot quit a few times, but I never grow tired of it 5/5 |
| I am the light and the darkness tossed away by fate. I am hope and despair needed by all and to none. I am CuresDestiny. Fear me or Not it is all the same to me. <insert maniacal laughter here>  |
| I'm just interested, is there anyone who didn't like the 1st ep? |

| Without any doubt the best first episode of this season. Hell, this could even have 10/10 potential which is a rare occurrence in my list. That was absolutely awesome and hilarious and cute and funny. Reminded me of a mixture of Skip Beat! and Nodame Cantabile. Mamiko Noto is the perfect CV for the main girl and the art style is refreshingly awesome. It feels more mature than the typical anime shows, which is a great thing, but manages to be funny and cute nevertheless. This might easily be the best show this season! Just wow! |
   |
| i really liked the 1st episode :D it was beautiful :D <3 i can't wait for the next episode :)) |
| I am thinking of romance with this series and is why I am going with it. Is good choice? I like the way it is shown. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| well it a bit different in the manga, but i think it used all up pretty well. Mamiko voices fit sawako pretty well =)) |
| Awww, I couldn't have wished a better adaptation ! The animation style was adorable, colors were nice and characters seemed really great animated. Noto Mamiko sounds amazing as Sawako, really ! OP and ED were okay but not that special. |

| The Ep Follows Respectively at the First chapter of Kimi Ni Todoke. |
 |
| AAAH! So good! Awesomely funny at the ghost bit, and had tears in my eyes at the end. Just fantastic. |

| Well, as expected, Kimi ni Todoke is by far the best thing to come out of this season. The direction is top notch, the color palette and animation styles are just awesome, the dialogues and characters are as nice as they can get, and this first episode flew so well script-wise... Mamiko Noto as Sawako is also a huge turn on for this show, and Production IG proves, once again, that it is with GAINAX the best animation studio, technically and artistically, in Japan. After HnE, I guess we have found another top 3 show of this year by IG. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| wow! I loved this episode, this is definitely the best show this season! I Loove it, the voices are awesome too. |

hikky said: Yes and let me reiterate that there is no indication of any struggle with Kazehaya's social status. Kazehaya is just liked a lot by others and is very outgoing and nice to everyone - that is the key thing in the series."Shouldn't" means a person in his position normally would not do so because of his social status relative to hers. That's why "shouldn't" was in quotes. That does not mean he "doesn't" or "can't" love her. |
| Wow, this was way better than I expected! Really love the soft, mellow colors and chibi Sawako is just so hilarious! Looking forward to more ! <3 |
 |
| Brilliant episode, the art, music, plot, voice acting - everything is executed perfectly. Best first episode this season so far. |
Frostwake said: Just watched it and I have to agree, best episode this season so far... Its like the second coming of Bokura Ga Ita, but has the potential to be even better Sawada is really cute (and I like shy girls which helps) Amazing that an anime can be so emotional right at the first episode... the ending was melting I found the tears of Sawako best execute and I just started in anime. I hope to find other animes well executed like that part. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| The animation is gorgeous, and I love romance, so this might be a favorite of the season for me. |
 |
| This may become my favorite show of the season. I already love everything about it. It's so sweet. <33 |
| It followed the manga smoothly so I loved it. The voices fit the characters perfectly. As expected, it's my favorite show this season. |
| hmmm in a lot of ways this is like lovely complex and it isn't. although the whole thing just felt timid it might turn out to be ok. |
| just watched episode 1 and loved it. this was one of the most awaited animes for me for this season. i just love these sort of anime, i have a feeling that this will be probably top 3 favorite animes this season. i rate the episode 5/5 and i bet it will get even better. :D |
| Noto Mamiko <3 This was simply magical Forever said: This might easily be the best show this season! Just wow! |
| Great first episode... though story seems unoriginal and a bit "mushy" at times. The comedy is refreshing and the animation is different which is also nice. |
| I swear I went through this whole ep with the biggest and goofiest grin on my face XD I loved everything about this ep! I even loved the op and ed animation. I hadn't expected that type but fell in love with it, it really fits the story line now that I consider it. |
     |
| Absolutely loved it! <3 I just love this type of animes... can't help it. I feel this will be one of the best series of this season... Fell in love with it in the first two minutes of the episode |
 |
| Beautiful OP and gorgeous ED, wow. The animation was pretty nice, gotta love I.G. <3. The story does seem a bit "mushy" like spine said, but it doesn't bother me that much. I have great expectations of this series, hopefully it won't disappoint. |
| Loved it. Everything was great - Animation, artstyle, OP, ED and the episode itself. Probably my favorite this season next to Nyankoi! so far. |
 |
| Good first episode, but I'm not sure if I like the way the characters are drawn... I'm sure it will grow on me. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| Great 1st ep. Why do I keep picturing Sawako as Rika? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Love everything about this show, will definitely be watch more. |
| seems like best anime of this season. Loved it! 5/5 |
| I was pretty disappointed. I was really looking forward to this show because I heard that it would be different from the typical shoujo stories but it doesn't seem like that at all. The characters are so uninteresting. Does it get any better? At least Mamiko Noto is in it. I love her voice <3 |
hirahira said: Well it really depends on your definition of a "typical shoujo" storyline. Personally I think it's more like slice-of-life, it really is about Sawako being true to herself. Although it ties in with a love story nonetheless XDI was pretty disappointed. I was really looking forward to this show because I heard that it would be different from the typical shoujo stories but it doesn't seem like that at all. The characters are so uninteresting. Does it get any better? At least Mamiko Noto is in it. I love her voice <3 It's one of those really light-hearted series in comparison with other shoujo I've seen/read. |
| This is a shoujo show for sure, in fact, it has the word shoujo written all over on any poster of it. If this isnt a shoujo show, i dont know what else can possibly come near to that definition... |

| MAN I'm glad this anime is here. I needed this - some good romance that isn't nonsensical or full of fanservice. A total breath of fresh air! |
| Romance comedy anime - Japan's gift to America |

| Oh wow, that was adorable. I love the style of animation. Both OP and ED were great too. |
