| Decided to give this anime a 3rd try and got burned. |Dropped 4/10 |
| WTF happened to Cecelia Alcott? Did she fall and bump her head? She's turned into a new kind of annoying chick!! I don't like Fan Rinin. I find her to be annoying. The only thing that's keeping me interested is the IS machines. However, that doesn't seem to be enough to keep me from dropping this show. I hate shows with bitchy, whiny, girls that only know how to scream and hit instead of saying what's really on their minds. I also hate shows with wimpy male leads that listen to the screams and take the hits without screaming or hitting back. I'll give this show 2 more eps and then it's a drop if it doesn't improve. |

| lol man the preview for ep 4 is badass... looking forward to the next one. This ep was good as well... tho I was hoping for more of a backstory on the 2nd childhood friend... |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| Oh Cecilia isn't annoying and turned all dere this episode, good. I like her that way. Rin isn't half bad too, still i'd say Houki > rest. This school life shit is pretty enjoyable, hope i won't get too much fights later. |

| I still don't like Cecilia. That is just a fact i can't change; i just hate her type of character. I like Houki but the tsundere attitude in hindsight is annoying. Rin is awesome. According to Keima's principles of childhood friends Rin is ahead since she has a promise too. Go go second childhood friend faction! Edit: wait, how did he regress during that practice? Was he not able to have godly control of the IS in his match? Also, dense male lead is annoying even if this is suppose to be a harem. |

| This show is a steaming pile of shit. But I find myself enjoying it and I will continue to watch it. |
| Poor ichika.. getting raped 24/7. |

| Hmm, a cliffhanger before the next episode... At the start of the episode I was like: "wait! since when does Cecilia has feelings for Ichika?" , because she was on a total tsuntsun mode last episode...whatever...interesting episode anyway. |
| I have to say, I love this anime and look forward to it every week. The characters look friggin' awesome. This anime follows close to Index on the 'I can't wait for it to come out index', imo. |

VillettaIchihara said: Totally agree with this. Seriously, characters like Ichika are the worst - and then he's surrounded by a bunch of other unlikeble characters. Why is he so damn clueless? Why does he just take all this without saying anything in his defense? (In case it isn't obvious, these are rhetorical questions)WTF happened to Cecelia Alcott? Did she fall and bump her head? She's turned into a new kind of annoying chick!! I don't like Fan Rinin. I find her to be annoying. The only thing that's keeping me interested is the IS machines.

Rin isn't as bad as I thought she'd be, but she's still annoying and will probably get worse. Alcott is just a tool, and Houki is your typical tsunderes. Honestly, I probably wouldn't dislike any of these character if it was just ONE of them, but they had to go and throw them all together making a harem of bitches. And really, he got LOST? Are you kidding me? He gets lost in the new building and decided to go in the room that says: "Unauthorized - Trespassing Prohibited." Just how much more retarded can we get here? Surely they could have come up with something better than that. The mech fights aren't bad, which is why I'm watching this. So hopefully I can just learn to put up with this show's many down points. |

| The whole every girl around the protagonist is in love with him, but he is clueless is getting extremely old in amine series. Other then the machine fights , there is nothing good about the show. All the characters are annoying, but ill probably watch the series till the end for the fights. |
| This episode wasn't that bad, show seems like it's going down "cliche hill" though. |
 |
| That was a horrible cliffhanger in my opinion. It makes you want more obviously, but yeah, not among the better of cliffhangers I've experienced. xD; I was really looking forward to this at first, but I really didn't expect it to be a harem anime even though it should've been obvious with the setting an all that. I dunno, seemed like this episode was a pretty big disappointment to me. Hoping that it gets better with episode 4. :U |
 |
| And thus the harem is started and the dense mail lead is born. |

Just how much more retarded can we get here? Surely they could have come up with something better than that. Actually, this part made me laugh. First I facepalmed for the same reason you said, then I realized that this kind of ridiculous plot fits the show perfectly. Unfortunately this was the only fun part for me. The show was stupid but enjoying at the beginning; now it lost the "enjoying" part of that... |
| Why is this seemingly generic and pointless show so entertaining? |
| Ok™ |
| all girls school + 1 guy = expanding harem! I'm already jealous as fuck of this guy. Cecilia is already warming up to him, and Rin is cute but I'm sure he'll get with Houki if anyone but you know the harem will get bigger. |
 |
| wth, this episode was B.O.R.I.N.G 2/5 maybe because i got tired of typical harem anime :( but ill still watch this and BEELZEBUB (THE BEST THIS SEASON) |

More like she's already completely fallen for him and ready to give herself completely to him. Which angers me and makes me feel jelly. Cecilia woud've been my waifu instantly if I was Ichika. |
 |
| It is beginning to become more of a harem anime and somehow, I find it interesting to watch. |
| "Here, I brought you a sports drink!" *hands towel* |
| I have nothing to put here. Go me. |
| Ugh, I hate the characters more and more each episode. -__- |
| ooo Cecilia is being nice now :) I hope that Ichika beats Lin to next ep :O Maybe some IS tournament i guess at the ending. And probably 12 to 24 episodes |
| A second childhood friend .. ? ololol Well, I would prefer Houki, but from what I've seen of his character, it will be a typical ending where he's way too dense to notice anything . . |
| This show may be cliched as all getup, but I'm still enjoying myself quite a bit. Rin/Lin strikes me as a little too aggressive in her approach to Ichika, but I'm willing to give her chance and if nothing else said approach forces the hands of the other harem-ettes. That said, Houki is really the only viable option for me, barring any drastic romantic development between Ichika and any other girl. I think he treats her differently enough for him to realize that he might see her as more than a friend, and he was visibly flustered when she was changing, so there may be some physical attraction to help it along. Then again, this could just be the fanboyism kicking in seeing as childhood friend + tsundere + Yoko Hikasa = FATAL KO for me. :/ |
| Ha-cha! |
| Y'all forgot something; Ichika is 15. He might not even been through puberty yet. Also +1 for the guy who mentioned Itou Makoto. That personification of studliness met his well deserved karmic bloody end, but damnit if he isn't pimping. Still hoping for an edgier thing here, but tbh, the "get bitten by a dog/get kicked by a horse and die" line made me laugh. If Ichika is, say 19/21, he'd probably have gotten what Rin meant by the promise and by now would've steadily applying the power of his pimpness to good use for all three girls (and probably more, like say, the entire school?). One sad truth though, what little brain Ichika has, he still uses it since he's still not at the phase where he thinks with his penis. |

Though in his defence, girls can really be vague with their intentions, and they get furious if you interpret them wrong or simply "miss" their advances -.-' Any way this new girl seems quite interesting, cutest by far a bit less Tsuntsun than the other two. But as pointed earlier, second childhood-friend stand little to no chance to have a romantic relationship with the protagonist :/ |

But as pointed earlier, second childhood-friend stand little to no chance to have a romantic relationship with the protagonist :/ And why does everyone keep saying he has no balls? He's stood up to Houki each time she's thrown some Tsun at him. He even told her to look at her when he's talking to her in episode 2. This guy has bigger priorities than fucking a girl. Based on whats about to come and if the anime will follow closely to the novel, he has FAR more issues to deal with then getting his dick wet. So I applaud him. And at this stage, the girls are FAR from accepting the Tenchi Harem Solution, so him taking it to the next level with one girl will clearly not make the main girls, and possibly even the other 400 something happy. Just thinking of the possibility of Rin being Ichika's girlfriend had Houki and Cecilia down his throat ready to beat him. And they were just talking...imagine if they were fucking.... So don't be so hard on this 15-16 year old who's like someone said, thinking with something other than his dick. |

I think I'm in love with this person." I despise a male lead like in Asobi ni Iku yo. |

| Each episode has gotten a little worse. While visually attractive, the female characters don't excite me. Houki is the only one who seems to have any depth to her. Unfortunately, it comes out as bitchiness. I think the part about Ichika that is irritating in a lead is that the women have their conflicts right in front of him. If they were fighting on the sidelines and then acting sweet in front of him, then his cluelessness would make sense. But they're hashing it while he's standing around. The one positive moment for him was when he asked Houki why she was being such a bitch (Why are you so ill-tempered?). At this point, I can't say that I'm really looking forward to the next episode. After watching the first, I wanted to see the second. But the story has gotten bland quickly. |
| Average at best... The girls fighting over him the ENTIRE episode got far too drawn out. Frankly, it could be that I watched Madoka shortly before watching this. Houki is surprisingly the only reedming factor. |
