| Nisekoi got shafted oh yes. As a SHAFT (mainly Monogatari series) fanboy, I love the art. Looking forward to the adaptation of the following chapters. Those signature head tilts. http://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/q71/s720x720/1507726_1388521544739482_585617778_n.jpg http://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t31/981049_1388536034738033_1747802074_o.jpg http://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/q71/s720x720/3777_1388536078071362_764419427_n.jpg |

| cliché/10 Nice animation tho |
| The animation is beautiful!! |
| Great adaptation so far. As the manga is full of different angles and facial expressions, I think Shaft's animation/direction suits it well. The art/character designs are much better in the manga, but they still captured the overall style. Definitely gonna keep watching, and I hope it does well and it goes for a while, following the manga, as the story keeps getting better. KanaHana + Onodera=Pure Win!! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Wow, that was refreshing after a stream of so-so episodes this week; I loved everything about this. the yakuza, the promise, the saru-ona... the animation style reminds me of madoka, and that's a very good thing. luvin it.AOTS |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| Shaft style <3 |
| Lol this used every cliche in the book. Still, it was fun. I'll be sticking around to see where it goes. Also, SHAFT''s style is as strange as ever, not that that's a bad thing. They did tone down on what they usually do. |
| My anime blog Latest Post: The Zero Requiem (Analysis of the Ending of Code Geass) |
| Not impressed but will keep watching. |
 |
| ClariS <3 Dat love triangle!!! |
| I hope that the male protagonist wouldn't be dense like Ichika..... (Since Kouki Uchiyama provided his voice for both of them) |
ernietheracefan said: I hope that the male protagonist wouldn't be dense like Ichika..... (Since Kouki Uchiyama provided his voice for both of them) Ichika is a type of impersonation, not a human to be compared to. You need to watch more anime if you think MCs are usually an Ichika. Ichikas are an exception, as you rarely see an Ichika in any other harem or romance series. |

| Holy crap Shaft. I seriously didn't expect Nisekoi to have the full Shaft style animation. But man, that was an awesome adaptation. I was grinning whole episode because of the way Shaft adapted the manga. The animation couldn't be more Shaft-like. Art and character design was also right on the spot! Also the OST! Such awesomeness. Plus ClariS <3 It'll take a while before I can get use to Touyama Nao's voice as Chitoge. Her performance was ok though. Can't wait to see Marika!!! I just hope this would be two cour because the romance progression is quite slow in the manga. |
| To be honest, believe it or not... I've read the manga since day 1. And I am really disappointed with the Voice Actor's performances. Their voices totally don't fit what I expected and imagined from the manga. I am disappointed... |

| Aliis si licet, tibi non licet. |
| Interesting premise. Really, if Raku DOESN'T end up with Onodera, I'm going to be PISSED. (I have not read the manga). I'm so tired of this tsundere bullshit we get season after season. It would be nice to see the tsundere lose, just once. |

The worst thing that could happen is him ending up with Onodera, since he's been all over her from day 1. Pick up any other girl, I'm fine with that, but NOT her. |

Yeah, I do realize the in anime the MC never ends up with the girl they want to end up with in the beginning. I know I'm ignorant when it comes to this anime because I haven't read the manga, but I honestly just want him to pick ANYONE but the token, dime-a-dozen tsundere weirdo chick we get in nearly every romance series. |

She sounds, looks, feels - everything about her screams 'I AM THE BEST NISEKOI GIRL: NO CONTEST.' I disagree with that. Looks are average, at least in the anime. Her manga counterpart is much nicer. Her voice is great but does that make any difference? Solely basing it on the voice, Nadeko should be better than Senjougahara because she's voiced by HanaKana, yet they are world apart.

Chitoge gets better later in the manga, and plenty more females characters will appear. Hopefully, the anime will get into those parts properly. |
| Aliis si licet, tibi non licet. |
| Good animation? Pffft. Childhood promise, running with toast to school, mutual bad start hate introduction, exaggerated ricket legs, super over the top simply epic reactions, blonde wins in the end, etc. Truly the best and most original anime ever. Ranked too low, deserves top #50 at least. |
| I don't understand why so many people complain this adaptation is cliche when the manga is cliche too, there are some series who rely on cliches to entertain. Cliche is a way of telling a story, and for Nisekoi, it fits right on the spot. If you hate cliches with passion, why complain that Nisekoi has cliches when they are an integral part of the story? |

True that. Also, there is good in cliches too. Actually, almost every show is cliche to some degree, since they borrow elements from each other. The way the events unfold and the characters make the difference. Nisekoi may not be a masterpiece, but it certainly isn't bad. |

shagek1 said: it weird why cant Shaft just make normal anime for this one.. It's Shaft. That's how they are popular. Also,if you want those 'normal anime' go to J.C Staff. |
| I didnt like the shaft animation at all but its one of my favorite manga so I will ride this coaster |
sherlock5545 said: xAvengerx said: The fact that Onodera didn't tell Raku that she was the girl he made the promise with is pretty annoying. Other than that looks like this series will be quite enjoyable. Even in the manga, now over 100 chapters and counting, we still don't know who he made the promise with. I wonder how the anime will adapt the story though. If they want to stay faithful, more seasons are pretty much confirmed, unless they want to end it with nothing happening at all. At least I hope it isn't Onodera the promised girl or the story will have no originality. But when she found out about his locket she seemed like she already knew about the promise. |

Without getting into too many details, simply rewatch the OP song, there's a scene with two keys and one locket. That should ring a bell. Even in the manga we still don't know. |

| Another nice show...I enjoyed it...gonna watch till the end definetely |
| It was good, but It's pretty easy to guess what happens in this show; even without reading the manga. A bit cliche, but I like cliche romance shows. |
 |
| well, i don't know. i haven't read the manga, so i can just talk about the first episode and my first impression, but this was just purely average for me. average character design, average characters, average animation, i didn't even notice any outstanding music. and the love triangle between the mc, the childhood/old friend and the new girl is something i always find annoying. maybe people wouldn't be so overwhelmed by it if the manga wasn't that popular? i'm not going to judge anyone who's happy that their favorite manga has an adaption now, but i wonder if the reactions were different... i hope i'll get into that show during the next episodes because otherwise i would feel really left out when everyone's around me excited about that show and i don't understand why. |
| This was one of the shows I was looking forward to and I have to say that it has so far been very good!!! I see that Shaft has done a very job with this and the OST fits quite nicely. Being a manga reader for this, I was curious to see who would voice the characters and I would say I was impressed. The episode was enjoyable and that ending was absolutely priceless. ClariS singing the OP was also brilliant so I can't wait for the album to be released. 5/5 |

| am i the only one who likes onodera's voice? |
Mizusi said: Aurorae said: I like it when it's used in good shows.I for one like Shaft's animation. Don't like it? Don't watch it! Agreed. There are anime's where the shaft treatment works, and then there are those that don't. It's not about liking or hating the Shaft treatment, per say, but rather whether it's suitable for the particular anime. Monogatari was a masterpiece in my eyes because of the Shaft treatment, but that doesn't mean that anime's like Tora-Dora, Chuunibyou or Oreimo getting a similar treatment would immediately make it good. Its all about fit. I personally thought that the animation of the characters and nearly all the seiyuu's were spot on, but given a straight-line rom-com where the setting does not skip all over the place all the time, I just don't find the Shaft treatment fitting with how the manga actually flows. I mean it may have worked in the first episode (for the "N"th time meeting with Chitoge portion), but that sort of scene just doesn't happen that often in the manga at all. More often than not, the scenes follow the previously mentioned rom-com routes.... That said, as a fan of the manga, I'll reserve judgement until more episodes come out to see how they portray the story, specially when half the entire episode is set in one particular place. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Shaft's usual artistic and directorial flair covering up an otherwise generic, predictable romance story. Don't fall for it, guys. |
| Loved it! Absurdal romcom in Monogatari animation style? Can't be better. |
| Not bad for the first episode. Cliched but it still got me hooked. I really, really hope that Chitoge isn't the one who made promise with MC. There are plenty of shows with MC/tsundere pairings, i am tired of that. And I want HanaKana (her chara ofc) for once in the lifetime to get a BF in the end (marriage? that would be cool too). She just got dumped a lot recently (OreImo, Monogatari), it's painful to watch. There is no justice in the world... Food for thought: there 2 keys and 1 locket that can be seen in the ED. I wonder if there were 2 promises between 2 different pairs, and it just so happened that girls with keys met 1 boy with a locket. Where is the other guy then? =) |
| I didn't expect anything from this, but i have to say that i really liked that first episode, the animation was AWESOME. This is the first romance anime i'm interested in since Tonari no kaibutsu kun. |
| Manga 10/10, but what the shaft did with that cries to heaven for vengeance. The first ep complete failure, and just waiting for this title for a few weeks, but anime do not live up to the manga heels. Those who read the manga know why so low estimate what shaft did with such a nice material for a nice light and funny anime. sorry for my broken english |
| This is this in the top 300 already? Because it's SHAFT? |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Finally it's here! It was a great starting episode, I wasn't disappointed at all. People are complaining about the animation style but I find it's pretty interesting. Can't wait until the next episode. |
ItsRotto said: The manga and the story is a great story, easily on my top 5 list. The anime is just way too shoujo. The art style and the acting just ruined the super hyped up anime for me. Still love the story though. But the first episode being as shoujo as it is just disappointed me. It's far from being shoujo series, believe me. Typical rom/com for male audience. It's just SHAFTed. =) |
| Really enjoyable episode lol |
| http://funnymama.com/post/255256 not all the anime in the pic are made by shaft, but you get the idea :P |

| woah. That flying knee kick, sugoi! I feel bad for chitoge when she got shouted by Raku, Dem feels... And that Key and Locket... It looks like Onodera is very shy to say that she's the girl... I hope that raku won't be like Ichika of IS, too young too dumb to realize.. Oh well, gotta watch this whole series and see how those 3 will manage their romance.. |
