| Good great mother of tsukkomi... what the fuck was that? They can do everything on at least an average level but when it comes to the main point of the show, they screwed it up so bad that I'm seriously considering if they wrote the storyboard while being sober or not. I'll probably end up watching it because every season I need at least a show I can rage at so that the rest of the shows I watch feel better. |
 |
| It was enjoyable. I liked the jokes that broke the fourth wall the most. |
 |
| Really hit and miss, with more miss than hit. Not drop-worthy for me though, once the characters are better established maybe some of the humor will come across better. |
 |
| It felt like those 3 minutes shows. Meh, didn't enjoy it. |
| I recall that there was an earlier anime series in 2007 where we saw Kokonoe (九重) as an elementary school student. Now we are seeing her all grown up as a second-year high school student. Let hope that she doesn't hassle her teacher so much now. I found it hilarious when Kokonoe moved her hand so, so, so slowly so that she used up all of their budget for anime frames. Note that a typical anime episode only has about 5000 frames, believe it or not.**  . . Kokonoe back in 2007- - - ** http://www.crunchyroll.ca/anime-news/2011/10/30-1/how-much-does-one-episode-of-anime-cost-to-make |

makarov52 said: hmm kind of boring.. make me really sleeply now :( btw it is just like yuru yuri but not that good :/ Nah, it's not as blatantly lesbianatic as Yuru Yuri. Plus YrYr, imo, didn't have to try as hard as this does to get a laugh out of you. |
 |
| 1/5 They try way too hard to get a laugh out of you. Not even remotely funny for me. |
 |
| Natsuki's ahoge might be the largest I've ever seen! :O Anyway: pretty funny show, but certainly not the best of this season. Will see where it goes. |
 |
| This could be fun, but the seiyuus are so awful it was painful to watch till the end. |
 |
| Hmm no too much to comment... Girls are too stupid. But rarely I enjoyed. |
| Omg... over 90% of the joke are boke&Tsukkomi style and its not even funny at all. Watching kill me baby is much more relaxing than this . I will try watch another episode ~~~ |
| After watching one episode and replaying it several times, I don't forsee that this is some huge hit that is going for play for multiple seasons and become some kind of phenomenon. The concept of a "Go Home Club" is a great joke, based on people using this expression in real life to indicate that they didn't join any club. But this is strictly funny one time only. I like the character designs. I like the fact that they are drawn sufficiently differently so that I can easily tell them apart and remember who is who. I see some nice facial expressions. On the other hand, I don't see a breakout character. Maybe that little animal will do something in later episodes. It seems that the main character is this first-year student Natsuki Andou, ( 安藤 夏希 / あんどう なつき ). She has the mega-ahoge. MorningGlory just mentioned the "Boke-Tsukkomi" style humor, and she seems to be playing the Tsukkomi role (i.e. "the straight man"). Apart from that, I haven't seen a reason to be fascinated by her just yet. For that girl (already forgot her name and don't care to look it up), going around attacking bears is semi-interesting. But harassing wildlife is not great for a big laugh. Bears and people do fight in real life and the odds are about 50/50 even when the people are armed with guns and bear spray. Being ultra-rich is nice. Maybe some people here remember the Richie Rich comic books. But Kokonoe didn't do anything particularly thrilling this episode except move her hand very slowly. The random concept of buying a stationery story just to get an eraser with a pink cover did not make me laugh. But Kokonoe has unlimited power due to her wealth. So all she has to do is make one phone call and Karin should get the right eraser within an hour. So you can write your own script of a funny way by which this could be accomplished. How about if Kokonoe gets a piece of pink paper, a pair of scissors and a piece of tape and ... Getting people's names wrong is semi-interesting. Okay, her name is NOT Furukawa. It is Furuhashi. I'll try hard to remember that for episode 2. I do like Furuhashi's hairstyle, but it must require enormous amounts of hairspray. In real life, feeding pigeons is a really, really interesting activity. But maybe it was not a great decision to spend time focusing on it. There was some good animation work though. I really do like the "Cute Girls Do Cute Things" genre of anime. Typically, we see things spiced up in some way beyond basic CGDCT. One alternative is that it can be Ecchi, but they haven't gone there yet. Another option is to have a character or a couple who are into a Yuri relationship. A fujoshi is also nice. Either that, or it should have some kind of really distinct feature such as the ultra-realistic guitars in K-On. I also like the traditional Japanese theme of Joshiraku. What this series does incorporate are mild fantasy elements. For example, a bear fight would not realistically be that way. You could possible damage a plastic water bottle with a burst of air, but it wouldn't be cut like that. Some people compared this to Nichijou. At this point, I am struggling hard to think of a reason why this series is going to be better that Yuyushiki. On the other hand, the first episode of Lucky Star basically was a total disaster. But the series was a timeless classic overall. So I see enough of interest to at least watch Episode 2. |

| wow, lots of tsukkomi in only one episode. some of the jokes weren't really funny, but there were also some hilarious ones. i laughed few times, especially in the fake ending scene (twice), the 4 bear kings scene and ice cream scene. got no problem with the seiyuu, but that ahoge was really distracting... i hope next ep will be better |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Pretty good! It started off as a standard show but it quickly escalated. The relationship between the pragmatic Natsuki and everyone else in the club offers itself to some funny moments. I really enjoyed the twice recalling of the ED and the Bear story. I like how it keeps the action fresh by splitting it in to short stories. Very imaginative and eccentric at times but that's how I like 'em. Although, Natsuki's ahoge was really out of place and offputting. Most of my attention was centered on that instead of her. Catchy and quiry OP and ED too. I'm kinda excited for future episodes. |
| MC snark a lot even by gag anime straight man standard. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| 10/10 for mohawk seal! |

What they should have done is search on the internet for a better anime series. However, I think that they had a very good opening credits sequence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qafPIWzJPuM ashita o nobotte sora o miagetara hirogatta akari ga kirari kirari kirari te o tsunaida kaban ga soyokaze ni oyoide fukinuketa ato o koishi ga oikaketeku naname ni sosogu hi wa kyou mo hohoende komichi o magatta kaori o yasashiku tsutsumikonda hora kakedashitemireba kao to kao o awaseba keshiki wa kokoro o egaku madobe ni utsurikonda kokage o yokogitte egao ga terasu "maru" ga kitto mieru hazu ashita o nobotte sora o miagetara hirogatta akari ga tooku tsukinuketa miwataseba pikkapika no suteki ga itsumo matteru ashita o nobotte "seeno!" de tobidashita [ from animelyrics.com ] |

| so so... |
| Masterpiece.[/almost serious] I'm really liking KKK and C^3 in this anime season. I'd rather not discuss humour with a forum that considers Gintama to be the funniest anime ever.[/serious] |
 |
| This was kind of meh to me. I didn't laugh at all during the first episode. I also didn't like the OP and ED. And the animation was avarage. But I'll watch the next episode and then decide that will I watch or drop this. |
| Gosh darnit, they just had to remind me that the chihayafuru season is over.. |
| Reminded me of Yuyushiki when I saw a dream like aura.... Natsuki's ahoge annoys me tbh -_- |
 |
| The seiyuu is the biggest problem. All are rookies except (in relative term) Kido Ibuki (who voices Natsuki) and sometimes the voice acting is really hard to bear. The problem is much more intense than say Aiura where it is also mainly voiced by rookie seiyuu. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Unfunny and somewhat boring yet I'd probably not drop this. Oh well. |
| the scenes with the bears where funny, the rest was boring |
| Well, that sucked. I probably won't watch the next episode. |
| Another show that I think I'm enjoying more than I should. Think I found my comedy anime this season. |
 |
| Anime GO HOME, you are drunk. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Enjoyable. Felt a little bit like K-ON. I'll keep watching it. |
| oh well, this episode seems to be okay but it didn't made me laughed just like what Daily Lives of High School did to me when I watched the 1st episode.. and, natsuki's loud voice is starting to be irritating to me. |
| I loved it. Perfect sense of humour. Although I don't think I would want to watch more than one episode of this at a time. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I liked the ED trying to start early. The second time it did it, I was like, "No. Stop it. Go back to the show.". Also, when Claire suggested buying a stationary store, I mentally paused, trying to see if I read that wrong but it ended up that I was right and had the same reaction as Natsuki. |
   |
| funny ^^ and I like Claire, she is cute :D |
Nikin said: Same.I enjoyed it more than I expect to. Had some legitimately funny moments. Dat ahoge on Natsuki, wut? Random episode, but in a good way.

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Not bad, the comedy is just about average but still funny. I, however, dislike Natsuki's yelling at everything, it kind of over-dramatizes the humor and makes it a little lame. Coming from a producer that isn't major, I don't think it's that bad. The character design is a lot better than I expected, and the voice acting is great as well. I thought this was Gasai Yuno  |

| Anyone notice Claire looks like Mugi from K-ON. Pretty interesting show as well |
 |
| Hmmm it looks pretty good so far. |

| At 11:09 they show a photo of five girls, and I assume these are the five main voice actresses. I recognize the back-left as the voice actress for Botan ( Sae Aiuchi / 相内沙英 ). I have never seen any other anime series where the faces of the voice cast were shown, with the exception of Lucky Star where Minoru Shiroishi often appeared live during the closing credits. The others I am guessing: Front-right: Natsuki (Ibuki Kido 木戸衣吹) http://articleimage.nicoblomaga.jp/image/29/2013/8/0/80a99e0e6185ae2fa593ecab0a1f6775401d31391371106624.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibuki_Kido Front-left Karin: (Mitsuki Yūna 結名美月) http://articleimage.nicoblomaga.jp/image/29/2013/7/6/7622488bd82b4313e5b7c97909503048fe2c2b3b1371107512.jpg Back-center: Sakura (Miharu Kobayashi 小林美晴) http://articleimage.nicoblomaga.jp/image/29/2013/9/f/9f1737d663994f85013ff058723659a4cef74d931371107099.jpg Back-right: Crea (Ayaka Senbongi 千本木彩花) http://articleimage.nicoblomaga.jp/image/29/2013/1/8/1812630e7862fe90937da427b313444d0cf6366d1371107287.jpg |
| I will look for the sake Natsuki-chan. |
| Nice first episode, I like the voice actresses so far and found it hilarious when they tried to cut to the ending song a few minutes in (was expecting the ED not to play at the end, to which Natsuki could have come up with a tsukkomi). 4/5. Ps: Did anyone else notice that ahoge has a girl-like tumor growing from it? |
| Does it have alot of references like Joshiraku, despite both not categorized as parody anime? im hesitant to watch but im hearing good things |
