This was like a fated meeting between Mahiru and Amane. It's like they were absolutely destined to meet and imo, Mahiru gives the impression of an angel at least based on her looks.

The character chemistry between them is kinda strange imo but should be easy to get used to. Amane doesn't seem like a sociable type of person and keeps to himself. On the other hand, Mahiru is quite popular with her class. Decent start if you ask me.

Okay the first thing which surprised me, like really surprised me is this black-haired high school protag, Fujimiya Amane has FRIENDS and isn't some gloomy kid who sits backbench beside the window while monologuing how life is better without people. Though it’s a subject to change with how coming episodes go.

But here's something, he lives alone and is neighbours with the prettiest girl in the country, Shiina Mahiru whom he deems as an angel. Things happen and he catches a cold.. as to why? I mean giving your umbrella to someone else on a rainy day and then walking off without one is an overkill. So yeah the thing we all saw coming since the moment dude fell sick happened. She visited him, took care of his sick ass, made him porridge and… dude’s fine again. Things are on repeat ever since that day… 

Shiina Mahiru welfare unit supporting the main dude.. that’s just how the first episode went. Now this will get repetitive if it goes for the rest of the season in all honesty. Anyways, a decent enough start.

Now I don’t know if it was outro or intro, but it was some good song in the end.

AHH this was one of the LNs that I wanted to read for a very long time, but since the anime's finally out, might as well be so.

Masayoshi Ooishi is back for another OP, and it's good!

The meeting in the rain between a boy and a girl: Amane Fujimiya and Mahiru Shiina, this was their fate intertwined. The typical boy and the popular-and-untouchable Angel of the school, the former getting a cold after giving his umbrella to Mahiru and suffering a bad cold tantamount to fever, that is until she shows up at his doorstep to adamantly return his umbrella. Mahiru not being one to not repay the favour, enters Amane's very decrepit apartment, and having the Angel live alongside him next door to take care of his ailing health like a nurse. Amane asking Mahiru why she sat at the playground in the pouring rain, it was definitely a misunderstanding when it comes to a relationship. The Angel herself is relieved that Amane is fine, but the matter is that he won't intrude on her as much as concerned, back to stranger mode.

Mahiru the Angel is obviously concerned if Amane is having his meals in a proper way, and hands him her leftovers, taking care more not like an angel but like a mother, that she can even make extra food frequently. Even shopping for groceries, it's no coincidence as both lived quite near their local supermarket, and Amane helps the Angel carry home her stuff. But as expected, she's adamant on Amane's place being awfully filthy, and decides to take things into her own hands to help him clean up his apartment on her stern personality. As thanks, Amane treating Mahiru to pizza, opening up the latter's palate to commoner food than rich, homemade ones she's accustomed to at home. Amane chastising Mahiru for having no charm but being easier to converse with, she may be popular, but needs an avenue to rest her laurels, and it's at home where she can be herself. Most importantly, everything is off of her own satisfaction, so as long as Amane doesn't think otherwise, all will be fine in this unusual next-door relationship.

This all smells like a rom-com, and it sure feels like such. Amane's fellow classmate-cum-friend Itsuki Akasawa is a close buddy with a girlfriend, though that's about it for concerns.

Still though, this was one of the few shows I've anticipated for quite awhile, and it delivered.

The level of sugar in this series is so high it can actually be classified as poison for singles. If the direction nails, it will be a disaster for people's heart, and if not, also a disaster for such wasted opportunity.

Mahiru-san looks so cute & adorable even when she is serious.
Amane-kun like "why I even bother her because I am out of her league" but he didn't know what's coming next.
I'm so much excited for next episode.
we have to wait for another week (14/01/2023).

This is one of the ONLY light novels I have ever read; and I love it. I've completed over 620 series and this is one of my top 10. I can't wait for what's to come. Especially when Christmas Rolls Around.

Voice acting is great. Music is great. It also captured the vibe of the source beautifully.
Overall, we're off to a great start. I have hopes real high for this and will look forward for the rest of the episodes.

"I thought you had at least one or two boyfriends"

How to say she's a hoe without saying she's a hoe. Either that or he thought she's polygamous.

After Tomozaki and Higehiro, Project 9 is back with another romance. Productionwise they all feel kinda sameish. I dunno, there's a distinctive vibe in the direction that immediately reminded me of the aforementioned two. Or maybe it's the art style(character designs) and the OST. Fine start, I liked it more than Mamahaha.

P.S. The pizza looked fucking good

Not that different with the manga, I guess the manga is actually a good adaptation?

But yeah definitely not for me, it reminds me of higehiro, the wish fulfillment aspect hits too close to home. However, unlike higehiro, this one has nothing interesting going on. I like shiina's voice tho, and kinda curious to see the relationship of the best friend archetype with his gf. They seem like a fun couple at least.

Yes sir the anime for one of my favorite LN series is finally here!

Pretty good first episode, they kept a nice pacing and didn't rush things at all.
Mahiru is adorable even in anime form, and the character design were actually pretty decent

I didn't have many expectations with Project No. 9, but since this anime is produced by TOHO I guess I can expect something more.

Super cute anime. I love the dynamic between Amane and Mahiru already.

I love how Amane started to see why people love Mahiru but didn't fall into the Love at first site trope.

With Mahiru I liked how she got the "Thank you very much" out more clearly the second time.

That opening song is a BOP!!!!

this anime is kinda for both girls and guys.

Male lead and female lead both are good looking and both of them have their own problems which they help each other solve.

The art and animation are competent. The music is uninspiring. This is definitely not a CloverWorks production. So why did I even give the opening episode 5 stars? Because the anime is 100% faithful to the light novel, right down to the dialogue. Because the characters are so cute and so sweet that your legs get weak and your heart flips over when you see them together on screen. Because the source material has all the usual high school rom-com tropes and gives the reader or viewer exactly what we want: cute and sweet young love exactly how we want it. Wholesome love, a tsundere boy who warms up very quickly with the kindness shown by our angel, and a predictable, if somewhat slow burning romance. I will be up early on Saturdays to catch each episode.

THE MANGA IS SO MUCH BETTER. 
like hear me out ok. 

let me be clear the story is an absolute masterpiece and same goes for the manga. but this anime adaptation SUCKS. like i kid u not. 

MISTAKES-

1) Where is my cute theme!? like this story is supposed to be cute like really freaking cute. but this adaptation shows it more mature which i hate. like this SHIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CUTE NOT MATURE.

2) why the flip is mahiru looking like sayu . u guys should have just copied the manga artist character design. also the eyes are completely wrong the face proportions too.

3) why the flip is there not a cute wholesome bgm? like there were so many opportunist to put a cute wholesome bgm to make it more cuter. 

4) how did the author allowed this to be made? LIKE JUST SAY NO. YOU HAD SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE MANGA Y DID U DECIDE TO ALLOW THIS SHIT

5) I have no hate for the va but i think the va were chosen wrong. like there were supposed to be cuter and more childish instead of this mature and heavy voice.

6) i have so much more to say but just read the manga and i am sure u guys would understand my rage. the director failed at recreating a MASTERPIECE. smh.

also this story was like 40% shoujo but the adapation just makes it seinen only.

Man Amane lives super unhealthy, but he is nice to lend his umbrella to Mahiru as its raining, and he ends up catching a fever. I'm glad though that Mahiru is making Amane's live more healthier, by brining food each day and even helping clean the house. 

Looks like Mahiru hates to be called Angel. Mahiru is the popular type in the class but back at home she is just an normal girl and also has her annoyances. 

What an great start so far to the anime.

1)it was supposed to be mature. At least the novel was. Dunno about manga.

2)the same person did the character design. Research before complaining

3) decide whether you want it cute or not

4) I don't think the writer even reads the manga. He wrote the novel and its literally the same as the novel. Also the novel has a higher rating of 8.48 compared to manga's 7.80
So the novel is better and the anime is following it completely

5)va is perfect. Simply perfect

6) whatever
