"If you scream I'll rape you"? Are you fucking kidding me?

Yeah, this show isn't for me at all. I've read the manga in the past but clearly I've changed my mind since.

Just decided to watch this based upon the synopsis and I must say I am very impressed and surprised.

For the first episode, the pacing really got you into it and both Haru and Shizuku appear as unique characters who both don't quite fit into the black and white of school. An excellent premise along with unique characters has really caught my eye with this show.

Animation and art were also a great point in my opinion, overall a very satisfying episode 1 and I'm definitely looking forward to more.

So I finally got around to watching this and first off I hate the opening song and the pictures. It looks childish but maybe that is just me taking anime too seriously and being too picky.

But anyways, the episode was okay. I feel like the just cramped the whole series into that one episode. My initial thought of the anime was that she would slowly have some kind of effect on him and vice versa, kind of like Tomoya and Nagisa. It shocked me that the main male character was so......kid like in a way.

I guess I'll keep watching.

Great first episode, I don't think it should be taken seriously at all at this point...maybe in the future though.

But the way she voiced Asuna wasn't the way she voiced other tsundere characters she handled... so Asuna isn't really considered tsundere I guess...
Nah. She's a by-the-book tsundere.

I found this to be a very boring episode, and I think I will drop the series. I used to love shojo, so this is kind of sad, but I guess I just am not into these types of series anymore.

Didnt even realize this was a Shoujo until I started reading the thread.

I thought Haru was hilarious. So many spots of comedy and humor that I enjoyed more than I thought I would.

- The obviously fake threat of rape
- Dumping the soda on her head or chasing after her when she retaliates with her own drink
- Jumping out the window on the first meeting
- His tendancy to go "full retard" in any sort of social setting + trying to get better by reading a women's magazine full of dating tips
- The bloody outline from his fight at the begining
- Learning that he was the #1 student at the begining of the year

Heard lots of complaining about the pacing, but I think this is a breathe of fresh air when it comes to a Rom-com. Im starting to tire of 25 episodes of blushing, stuttering and running away/physical beatings coming every time a possible emotional situation comes up. This guy sees what he wants and just says "fuck it, lets give it a go".

Dont care if its considered a Shoujo, but Im going to continue to watch this until a bad string of episodes forces me to stop.

If this is supposed to be romance then that's really fucked up. Within the first episode he's already hit and threatened to rape her. BUT IT'S OKAY because he's so cute and cuddly and he doesn't have any friends! Fucking bullshit.

Couple things ...

1. Im a dude so things like "omg hes so kawaii and has beautiful eyes" doesnt apply to me. Im strait.

2. Listen to the threat of rape again. Listen to the tone and inflection. It wasnt serious. Was it PC? No. But it obviously wasnt ment to be a serious threat.

3. He never hit her on purpose. It was an accident.

had a blast watching this 1
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Isn't that weird?

If you read the manga you would understand it's NOT like that at all.
It's very sweet and cute. Gosh, why are some people so dumb? XD

This show seems pretty smart, I like the symbolism in the OP.

His name is Haru right? He seems to remind me of a dog, which was symbolised in the OP, and I think the connection was well established with her not caring about animals and whatnot that she cares about this guy who is pretty much... a dog..

Pretty smart if the show is drawing connections like that on the first episode.

Pretty good episode. I like their voices and have no problems with hair colours. Also for some reasons I thought that it was Haru in that flashback with the rabbit in the manga.

Loved Nagoya's cameos. Can't wait for his introduction.

THIS is gender based equality, it's what I really like about what I've seen so far. Although, I felt the little pangs of "holy crap" when he spilled soda on her, threatened to rape her, basically kiss rape her, and hit her (even accidentally), the show wasn't all about "pamper the princess because she's a chick". Again, if the roles were reversed where there was a dedicated book worm dude and a secretly smart weird tough chick, it would still have the same feel.

Definitely on my need to watch list. Love it.

This is definitely a romcom I'm looking forward to this season.

I didn't know what to expect when I first saw the chicken in the trailer (and it appears once again).
And now that I've finally watched the first episode, I still haven't gotten a clue about what I'm getting into.
Out of curiosity, I've taken a quick peek at the manga, and I believe Brains Base is doing a good job adapting it so far.
The pacing does seem to be a bit fast, but I'm actually liking that.

I'm really enjoying Tomatsu Haruka's portrayal of Shizuku's.
And Haru's bipolarity. I mean, when he dumped the soda over her, daaang.
The main characters' dynamic with each other so far, check.

I can't not mention how lovely and vibrant the OP is, and the color palette. The animation is also well done.
And the ED is by 9nine. I haven't heard of them in a while. ; u ;

That MC- It's like i'm watching an extreme version of me.


Anyway, this was better than i thought it would. A bit rushed, but i think a lot of series are having that issue this season. I doubt it's very noticeable though unless you read the manga. I noticed it, and i haven't read it, but i didn't think it was that bad.

Wow one episode in and so much has happened already. It feels like the whole series was condensed into one episode with all the build-up and climax and stuff. Anyway, it is a great start and I am liking to so far, looking forward to more. 5/5 great start.

This episode seemed really long for some reason - in a good way! I mean, so much happened that it's almost hard to absorb. People might see it as being 'rushed' or think the pacing was too fast, but I feel like it's a good amount for plot development. Sure beats filler episodes!

I think people are getting too hyped with Haru´s "Ill rape you". How many times havent we seen in anime someone threatning with "Ill kill you!"? Its never a serious threat, they always say it without any intention, like when a guy enters the room of a girl etc. Haru changed "kill" to "rape" even though seriously I bet he has no idea what he was talking about. Its a stupid word that carries a heavy meaning much more than "kill" but in this situation the intention was the same: he just wanted her to be quiet that´s all. He is like a mischievious kid and probably heard someone of his group say that and repeated it.
About he punching her, it was not intentional. Of course he did wrong and did not apologize, that is a thing that is essential regardless the gender. It was a mistake but in the end we all know he deeply cares about her and felt bad about it, and that´s why forgiveness exists XD

Even though I've read the manga beforehand, it was still so funny XD The seiyuu fit the characters, too (except for Haru's a bit), that goes for Shizuku's especially. The OP was unexpectedly colourful, by the way.

Man, they packed like 3 episodes worth in one. Very fast paced.

It felt like a cross between Kare Kano and Tora Dora.

Wow, overwhelming voting result. But that's to be expected after watching this episode.

Of course I greatly enjoyed this romantic comedy although it did feel like a closure after the first episode. I'm looking forward to what else is coming. 5/5

Well I'm currently glad I decided to give every anime a shot this season, considering I would normally pass anything that was based School like/Romance, but I decided to give this one a shot and I'm glad that I did so because I loved it, it was humorous, the humor was put in perfectly and there wasn't too much, and just the whole story made my smile!
