Crunchyroll leaked yet another episode...

It was kinda awkward imo. It started off with a space battle and then turned into what seems like a slice of life that seemed pretty normal. Even for someone like Mira, she seems like a normal girl. Animation turned out to be average imo, maybe could improve but I doubt it. Episode also had chemistry between her and Takumi mostly as the two main leads. Oh and Naosuke as a talking poodle. There's something you don't see everyday.

Well, Crunchyroll just about leaked this show out of nowhere.

Takumi Miyasaka filing for work at the share house of Astro Lodge needing a chef. But under the new landlady Mira Gotokuji, she sure is a bad book, and the residents within the share house are a lot of idiosyncrasies. But this is where Takumi comes in as a seasoned part-time chef, showing off his skills to the happiness of all, even if it's just for a temporal moment. But him deciding to stay in the lodge, it's probably for the best.

With all of the processes for a start, Mira shows Takumi around, and the welcoming party...is quite the oddity with odd residents who are finally relieved of Mira's bad breakfasts. At least for the day, it starts off being pleasant as Takumi is into her...which Mira is an alien from Wido with her dog Naosuke, trying to find some key so that they can head back home.

A space-time romance this is one, how weird will this go?

@MahoTenshi Yeah, but that doesn't make clicks to youtubers so they go for the easiest foe, that always works.

This was quite the unique first episode with it starting out with a battle in space but turning into what seems like a normal slice of life, hopefully it gets better as the show goes on.

I'm not so interested in the setting but animation is good (the op/ed at the end looked very nice).
I will give ep 2 a chance because I'm a fan of most voice actors (Souma Saito, Junichi Suwabe ftw).
I saw Jun Fukuyama is also in the cast and if there's one thing he's good at is voicing aloof characters dressed in purple tones lmao.

Interesting start.

The art, animation, and sound design all look/feels good and the story seems interesting but there’s nothing really stick out yet in term of the character other than the usual trope.

This definitely looks very old fashioned. From the characters, art style, animation, theme songs almost everything and I really enjoyed it. Mira's really cute. The misunderstanding though lol. I wonder if he'll find out she's an alien soon. Should be fun to watch them. I just hope we get a happy end with them together at the end.

The central conceit seems to be what if a heroine from a 70s sci-fi anime ended up in the plot of an 80s rom-com anime? And if you're old enough like me to remember both those things, it's working excellently. Once we get the two characters in the OP/ED that we've not met yet I'm sure it will work even better.

Junichi Suwabe as an alien poodle? So absurd yet adds some more charm to how over-the-top this whole series is with the mix of 70s sci-fi and 80s rom-com tropes being milked here.

This type of insane comedy show is what I live for!! Let's go!! All characters have great, distinctive and strong personalities, what I look for the most in this type of anime.
Has potential to be one of my favorite comedies so far this year

Hilarious series so far, wholesome dynamic between the eccentric cast, and an artstyle harking back to mid-2000s anime that only you remember. Loving it and can't wait for the next episode.

Yeah it's kind of weird. But the kid kind of looks like he's drawn in a similar style. The idol as well, mostly. The grandpa, the unemployed guy, and the dog are the ones sticking out a bit.

The show feels pretty throwback so it's not too distracting for me. Also, it's supposedly a wacky comedy, so hopefully these choices will make it funnier. Some of the reaction faces from Miyasaki and the idol looked pretty over-the-top, so I'm on board.

That's what I was going to say...it had a very 90's throwback feel going on, from the animation, right down to the ED...almost felt like a "lost media" never-aired anime project that was found in a vault, and finally released.

It shows promise, and we'll see if it improves over the next 2 or 3 episodes.

Very good beginning episode! Takumi is a good cook and Mira, a cute and lovely alien who enjoys good food. Made for each other!

Until we get a Maison Ikkoku remake I will be fine with this one. As many said, it feels very retro and I enjoy the unique aesthetic a lot.

I liked the premise, but they botched the episode with the rushed introduction of the characters, IMO. At the very least we should have gotten more background on the two leads before shoving everyone together 5 minutes in (and loudly and obnoxiously to boot).

Will keep watching due to the promising premise, but this sloppy first episode soured it for me a bit.

In the first few seconds, I thought I might have clicked on the wrong show since I was hit with a wave of nostalgia at the old-school art style and character designs. Even the ED theme song has that old-school vibe. It's off to a good start.

It looks like the combination of Urusei Yatsura and Maison ikkoku. I like it. I hope they don't messed up the show.
