| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- ITS FINALLY THERE ＼(＾O＾)／＼(＾O＾)／＼(＾O＾)／ The art style looks sooo good Im not disappointed same for the soundtrack, I already love it ( •̀ ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧ Miyamura looks so cool, I love his design, I want the same fashion as him^^ Hori was so kawaii when she was saying all these baka bakaa Ishikawa and Miyamura were so funny with their embarassed faces lool I liked this 3D ish style in the ending |
| 😻😹😽 |
| OP and ED of the season, for sure. Both very well-made in their own unique ways. I was a little thrown by the more serious focus in places, but an adaptation this competent is the stuff of dreams. Gotta go back through when the simulcast drops to save every Miyamura expression UwU |
| Cute episode, we got a lot of character expressions that showed the personality of the cast. Hori in particular was fun to watch and this serves as an introductory episode. The light comedy is there but it's going to take some time for the actual characters to develop from the story. That ED song caught me off guard though, quite unique imo. |
 |
| AT LONG LAST, we didn't thought that we'd get Horimiya THIS SOON, but the rom-com of the season has finally come. Pretty solid OP and ED, I'm already liking it. Especially the 3D visuals of the ED. The perfect family girl Hori (voiced by Haruka Tomatsu) and the "creepy otaku" Miyamura (voiced by Kouki Uchiyama, e.g. Nisekoi's Raku Ichijou), INSTANT LOVE between the relationship of the two, hitting it off smoothly just like that. There are two sides of the coin to each and everyone: your outside life (which everyone knows) and the private facade life (those close to know). Ishikawa is truly the intermediary to Hori's circle of friendship (and bearing a crush on her), but what a way to confess LOL (single, but coming back single). More drastically is the facade friendship, but it's pretty much a comedic state. Expand the horizons, because we're in for a roller-coaster ride! What a start to a great adaptation of HERO's manga, paired with CloverWorks's perfect translation, now I'm really hyped for more to come. Not gonna read the manga, because it's a close comparison! |
 |
| Ngl that was pretty cute Would love to see how they will adapt the development of the characters but I'm already looking forward to it Art was crisp because its Cloverworks (Duh) Definitely, a must watch in this goated of a season Would love to other users recommendations similar to this as well so hmu |
 |
| This where the reiwa era starts for anime!! Never thought I'd see the day Horimiya gets an Anime adaptation |
 |
| Wasn't sure if this one would be sth for me but I really liked the start. My thought after the first episode: Hori-san is a real wife. She really is a top tier wife. She cares about her family, she takes care of her little brother and she looks in the casual look much cuter. They two really make a perfect pair together. Definitely interesting ED animation, new stlye |
 |
| Whew after all this years Horimiya anime is finally here. The first episode was really well done. It was pretty much adapted page by page. Hori voiced by none other Haruka Tomatsu's just so sweet and Miyamura sounds pretty perfect voiced by Kouki Uchiyama. I already love the chemistry between them XD. OP/ED both were nice. Visuals and animation were really good too, overall a great start to one of the most anticipated anime of this year. I'm hopeful for future episodes as well. Also it was just announced to be 13 episodes so it's gonna be a short ride but surely a fun one. |
 |
| The first episode is so good. GJ CloverWorks!! I love OP and ED. In this episode, Hori san’s lil brother is cute <3 |

| It's what i expected it to be which is a good thing. I am looking forward to something a bit laid back and a possibility for romance and that seems to be the case. Hopefully it will stay laid back, as for romance it doesn't really mater if something develops but it would be nice it's still to early to judge. Anyway for now it's nice. |
| After a long wait, Horimiya is finally here. I loved everything about this episode. The visuals, art style, their VAs... everything was beautiful. I can see myself listening to the OP & ED many times, they were both great. I'm looking forward to the next Saturday. |
 |
| YES! YES! YES! Loved the OVA and now we get more! |
Scared_Crow said: I know this is a forum for writing reviews for the 1st episode but I rly need to know where I can watch it. After seeing the trend and hype in twitter I thought that I should watch the 1st episode despite my original plan of waiting until all episodes air. I checked where I usually watch anime but it wasn't there. Did it rly only air on Japanese television? Can I find it nowhere in the internet? If someone can help and enlighten me it would be very great. Thank you very much. It's on Funimation. It's also airing on Tokyo MX, GYT, GTV, BS11 and MBS. |
| The adaptation is probably well done but the story is school realistic romance love polygon? absolutely not my cup of tea so it's a big no for me because of my preferences, but at least it was still enjoyable for the funny moments I would say |
 |
| Finally a proper Horimiya adaptation The developments from now are gonna be really nice to see again since it's been a long time since I started the manga I hope the studio keeps this quality throughout the 13 episodes |
| I must say, I didn't enjoy this as much as I think I would. Probably because there was no ost most of the time, and some of the magic in the manga was lost. Was thinking what would Shaft do with this. Might turn out better than what I just saw. Not that I have a problem with CloverWorks. But something felt wrong with this adaptation. |
| I stg this anime will make me cry out of my loneliness someday |
Ashhk said: What Polygon lmao tbh there ain't even triangle. This premise might make u think it will be drama romance but in truth its a pure fluffy romance story.The adaptation is probably well done but the story is school realistic romance love polygon? absolutely not my cup of tea so it's a big no for me because of my preferences, but at least it was still enjoyable for the funny moments I would say |
 |
| The first episode is so cute and sweet and funny as well. The OP and ED are great. Hori is the best girl. As one of the few romance anime in this season and it is Horimiya. I hope the quality will not drop and also hope that this series will turn out to be one of the best. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| It was a good start for episode 1, some scenes got change and skip. The animation is well done and hope it continues like that throughout other episodes. Also some dialogs are a bit short. Overall I like it. |

| Really liked this, a simple tale for sure, but the art style is good, characters are likeable, gonna enjoy this for sure. |
| That was a solid first episode. The lack of ost felt really weird to me, I'm not used to it. Their dynamic is fun to watch. Poor Toru getting rejected. The op was alright. The ED was good. |
 |
phantomfandom said: Is this really romcom? I smell a very strong drama-tragedy twist. There’s no tragedy but if they do (guessing they would) adapt Miyamura’s back story accurately it gets kind of sad & dark |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Really cute first episode. I loved it so much. Damn, they make such a cute couple together. Both Opening and Ending are so good as well. I love Miyamura's personality so much. Also, Hori is pretty cute herself. I just wanna see how this story builds up. I'm so hyped up for this show. |
 |
| It's... cute, but pacing is way too dawn fast lol. Feels like 3-4 eps are crammed into one. It was the same in the manga or anime cut some content? Overall, it's fine at best imo. Not as bad as something like Kanojo, Okarishimasu, but not as good as I excepted after reading some comments from the source material fans. Everything just happens too randomly to make me interested. OP/ED are mediocre too. Hope that next eps will become better |

| Absolutely fantastic. It's been a long time since I read the manga so the exact events is a little blurred in my memory but the pacing feels very nice and I feel they were able to capture the atmosphere of the manga. The comedy is there, the simple but heartwarming slice of life is there, the heart is there. Very well done. In fact, I think I'll go reread a bit. Haruka Tomatsu really nailing it as Hori and Miyamura's voice fits him too. Production and art are great too, I genuinely hope they can keep up this quality for the entire season. If so, this will probably become my favorite show of the season. My only issue would be that it's only 1 cour when there is enough material for 2 cour. Overall, very promising adaptation and great start. Very excited to see more of Horimiya in animated form. |
 |
| I really like what they did with the opening |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Everyone looks good. I like the style they went with. |
| That was a great episode. Really really good. The writing is so strong too. As other were saying, navigating through some serious moments to comedy stuff so smoothly was on point. Expanding a bit on the themes presented in this episode, though I'm far from being an expert on this, is that the Japanese culture has a concept of a person having an inner and an outer self, Honne and Tatemae, which is a mask, a facade that a person has for them to hide their "true nature" for society. So, both of our protagonists need to maintain their "public status" or "reputation" in the case of Hori and their realization about each other that they have the same "complex" life as their own is part of their development on this episode. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows will name that feeling as Sonder. Overall, yes, I really liked this episode. |

| Holy fuck sasuga Cloverworks, ngl was worried they would botch this one, but so far so good. Comedy might have started off slowly, but I can't wait to see how it's gonna play out when all the cast gets introduces Have to say though, the VA's I do prefer the ones from the OVA, not that these ones are bad, but the OVA ones did fit the characters better imo Ashhk said: The adaptation is probably well done but the story is school realistic romance love polygon? absolutely not my cup of tea so it's a big no for me because of my preferences, but at least it was still enjoyable for the funny moments I would say nah there ain't no polygon going on......well not with the characters you're thinking about |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| A great start. I've only read a few chapters some time ago so I was looking to see this animated for some time. Shame it's only one cour. I really like Hori a lot, a very caring person. Ngl, Miyamura looks good with his other look. OP & ED are really good. The ED is very unique. |
 |
| Yep. This is it folks, the AOTS of Winter2021 I am now reminded of how cute and amazing the chemistry between Hori and Miyamura was. |
 |
| Episode's spot-on, imo. To be honest, many of us knew that this was at least going to be good since the wonderful folks over at Cloverworks are handling this and it's exactly that and more! Episode did feel a little on the fast side but no major cuts that come to mind at the moment. I doubt there'll be any given the 13-episode span to cover 40-odd chapters or so but here's to hoping the episodes don't feel as fast from next week onwards. But that little niggle aside, what an episode! Animation is on the top of the mark and the Soundtrack is glorious too. Op and ED visuals go beyond the norm and provide with an interesting atmosphere and I just loved it! As for the VA change, I'm totally on board with this. I love Matsuoka-san but Uchiyama-san's stellar voice just fits perfectly! Tsuda-san for the awkward Sensei is perfecto as well, lol. I'm just so happy that this series is finally getting the love that it deserves. I'm usually not someone who's thinking far ahead but I really want a Season 2 announcement in May later this year and it would be especially fantastic if the same team remains for that.

It's been a while since I've read the manga but I think the pacing in the anime is just a little fast. Basically, no cuts but breezing through a few panels. With that said though, the manga isn't exactly slow either so take that however you will. Edit: Screw it, I've decided to read the manga alongside the anime. |

| An incredibly anodyne episode for the most part. That its humor is primarily one of them screaming is certainly a rough edge, as is going right from one meet-cute to both their lives revolving entirely around the other while trying to claim that both have always lead full secret lives is also a conceit that's a bit hard to swallow. I would consider these incredibly minimal complaints for the people who like this kind of show though. Again, it's incredibly inoffensive, which makes it a little boring to talk about. The only conflict in the entire episode came from literally out of nowhere in the last three minutes of the episode, was just one of them feeling insecure, and resolved immediately. The rest was just… well, fluff. There were various seemingly setups for things, like the whole tattoo bit, but they never went anywhere. It wasn't particularly corny. Nor particularly screamy. Not too boring. Just fluff without any major ups, downs, troughs or swells, build-ups or climaxes. |
| Really nice first episode. Nice tatoos too. |
