Unique relationship between the MC's, it is slow paced but it is good, didn't felt bored at all.

Nice first episode. It's been a while since we had a series focusing on a protagonist who is a mangaka. 

The pace was a little bit slow for my taste but I'm looking forward to seeing more.

The only thing I had a problem with were the kids..especially the little girl. I just found it annoying how they were ordering around when to take breaks and do things xD I mean, Goshiki & their brother were working and all.

What a cringe fest of anime
The introduction of the tail thing was so forced. It was really hard to get through, had to pause twice!
Also waifu is way too perfect. Male fantasy stuff.

Pathetic.
I'm disappointed, I was looking forward to this anime.

Um. I was totally hooked until the last 5 minutes or so. I hope the focus will still be mainly them creating manga together, and not so much "I just got accidentally married to a strange alien girl". It seems like a well-written series though, and it looks gorgeous.

Is it just me or was the background music obnoxiously loud during the first part where he oversleeps? Otherwise, pretty good episode.

Digestible I guess? Generic story with a literal pixie. VA seems like not matching with the FMC for some reason. Hope she gets some real progression.

This feels so wholesome. I really like the OP & ED too ♡

I really enjoyed every minute of it. All the characters are likable especially the little siblings. Machi is a sweet and caring little sister. Of course the highlight of this anime is our "Hime", she works like magic and... it turns out she does have something magical to connect her with someone who 'touches' her to make a promise of eternal love...

But hey, let's start by becoming friends!

Pretty wholesome start but those last minutes sure made me go full WTF. Guess I missed the "Supernatural" tag while reading the MAL entry.

Also screw that mom. What a bitch.

Loved this one. They also answered my biggest question of "Where is the mom?" Screw that bitch.
Honestly! I want to know if at least only Kuga is her son and not the little ones, otherwise, she's a real bitch. Completely abandons the kids and lets the bro raise them alone? Especially after such a tragic accident?! Horrible!

Interesting first episode, this. Marital arrangement set up already, well that's good to know, lol. 

I definitely had something else entirely in mind when I read the show's synopsis but this isn't bad either. I'm curious to see where this will go.

While I'm so glad the show got an anime, something about this adaption feels a little empty. Like the flow isn't quite right? Though I have been reading the manga as it's come out, so I might just be impatient. Will continue watching regardless!!

The introduction of the thorn as a concept was so rushed and felt like it came completely out of nowhere within the episode, as did the sudden escalation to the exposition of its significance. The direction of that whole scene and everything that followed was just... off. Not a good start at all for this series, not least because these two have almost no chemistry at all.

Yeah I had forgotten about the stinger as I think it was showed in a trailer I watched months ago. Prior to the stinger the show was flowing good but it was a little weird and jarring when the stinger incident occurred. So does that mean that Ichirou has to marry Shiori? Also I guess Shiori is an alien princess, part of some "star people" or something.

Shiori is very pretty but her sudden appearance was a bit fast showing up as an assistant and then then later on the stinger incident happened. I hope we get more backstory on her even though it was mentioned that she knew Ichirou by his manga work. Was hoping this would be a great romcom but we'll see.

The character design is enjoyable. Always appreciative of any adult cast, SoL/Romance. The setting really reminds me of Maison Ikkoku. 

Will definitely continue to anticipate each episode as it comes out. Definitely one of the titles this season that I am most excited about.

Mangaka wish fulfillment (not, because the writer is actually a girl)

It's very similar to the beginning of a relationship between Belldandy and Keichi.

Stinger? Star people? 

I was wondering when/how the marriage thing in the description would come into it but didnt expect the supernatural. Well that'll somewhat explain why the series is called "A Galaxy Next Door".

The kids in those wanzies were so cute! Its great cause we'll get romance and childcare in one series. 

This series is definitely gonna be the cutest show this season. And I'm sure as hell gonna need it cause the next thing I'm watching is the depressing-looking Idol show everyone has been going on about. These two will balance each other out.

This episode really just brings to life the laziest way to bring about a relationship between two characters. Takes seemingly nice people and forces them into a traditionally forced marriage based on customs before doing anything other than work; but I think what's sad about it is that they could have scrapped the entire supernatural stinger and princess aspect and been better, for instance if they had the two of them celebrate after finishing the manuscript with dinner and drinks and if they had just happened to have drunk sex it would have worked better to create an awkward work environment with potential progression. With the stinger though it's like "You broke my hymen with your finger while I was asleep?! Let's start as friends." I expect literally nothing from this series at this point, they might hold hands at best, and blush about having nothing to say...

in my eyes its just a guy drawing manga, that by itself is boring af (for a anime i mean) so they added a girl with star powers to make it less boring
Did you miss the part where the guy's raising two kids by himself and also running a dorm?

Wow this anime is for sure interesting, I also like the concept of the main character being an manga artist and even living with his 2 siblings and Chihiro, he must've had a lot on his plate when his father passed away sadly. The kids are mature though, so that's nice. I also love how Chihiro is taking care of the siblings while Ichirou can focus on his work as an manga artist.

Shiori is going from her own place to a new place by boat. Ichirou is a manga artist and has a lot to do and he doesn't have any luck of finding an assistance until someone calls him and tells him that an assistant is waiting for him, Ichirou is ofcourse happy about that because his deadline is soon. Ichirou meets Shiori and they quickly go back home to start the job, Shiori is incredibly talented at her work and being a co-worker. Machi & Fumlo return home and meet Shiori but Ichirou forgot to even give her a break or to show her where the restroom is, Machi shows her around. Its the end of the day and they finally finished their work but not for long because Ichirou is missing one page and he finds it under his table and its only a draft, so he asks her help for one more time. The next morning they are both sleepy and when Ichirou is about to go he falls asleep. He wakes up and thinks that Shiori is in a dangerous position with a sharp tool, he then grabs it and gets send to the universe, which is just weird lol. Her thorn is now linked with Ichirou and they are sharing the same fate now, wow. Apparently Shiori already knew about Ichirou because she saw his work in a magazine and started copying his work to practice. For now they'll start out as friends. 

Interesting plot if i say so myself, lets see where this anime will lead to as we have an manga artist and an girl who has a tail that leads to the universe.

The OP and ED are really slow and boring. What a weird episode. I had so much more written but I never posted it *cries*. Messed up of the mom to leave her family. It seems like the little boy is narcoleptic considering he's half asleep in every scene he's in. Also hilarious that the guy was falling in love with his lines.
