Ok, so i picked this anime randomly, didn't even red synopsis, just because title was nice. And now i feel like i randomly found a real treasure. Very good first impression. Even liked that blonde doll... that's it if she's only going to act as material for Morita's art ofc.

xD I began watching this anime randomly too, not even reading the synopsis.
Btw, I love your display picture/gif :D

Not loving the character design, and found this a bit boring, anyway, I've heard great things about this anime, so I'll keep watching.

Great start I must say, really has its style to entertain the viewer! A wonderful start and with the images we've seen as of yet it seems we'll be seining great character development! In general really loved this episode and I hope the rest will be this awesome as well!

The OP was kinda weird O_O but the ED was quite decent!

Lets see what this anime will show us!

The hand shrimp reminds me of Beetlejuice, I wonder if that's where they got the idea. Anyway, interesting so far.

It definitely has the feel of a Josei anime, which I'm not a fan of most of the time.
A bit too silly, I remember watching this episode 4 months ago and realizing it wasn't what I was looking to watch at the time.
But now, I might as well give it a second chance.

I did not enjoy this. There is nothing here to make me want to come back for the 2nd ep


This is how I felt when I watched this back in '06...
Might give it another chance.

Edit: Alright, that was definitely more enjoyable than I remember it being. I don't like how Hagu looks nor do I like the freshman being so whiny in the face of responsibility, but those are minor complaints.

Yamada-san is pretty. :3

Probably the weirdest OP I've ever seen.

The art is very different but I think it fits; it really shows how crummy their apartment is and helps to portray a realistic feeling to the environment. Everyone seems to just be living life as is. They are getting by on little things like eating that bread together and joking around. I'm certainly not used to this type of art but let's see how this goes.

Hagu-chan is so damn pretty.
But she looks like she's like 10 years old and not 18 :P
This one is going to feel a bit odd when it comes to love.

I heard so much praise for it but somehow episode 1 does not impress...

Shiina was also sheltered and quiet in Sakurasou but somehow she came out less awkward than Hagu... There is nothing about her saying that she is 18, nor her looks nor her personality at this point of time.

I do hope this gets better.

Rewatching this after one year, all those emotions, I can feel them swelling up..
This one is really a strange anime. Despite the fact I really love dark shows like Monster, NGE, KnK, Lain, Utena etc. , I can't deny that this is my all time fav <3

2. the OP was full of crap.

3. not fond of the characters. MCs are really loud & shinobu is just careless/reckless

Not sure what I just watched... It was pretty random.
Is the rest of the show going to be a bunch of random crap like this? o_O
Still, there were plenty of funny moments, and I really enjoyed most of the characters, as well as the setting.
I don't mind the art, either... generic as it may be. I also really liked the soundtrack. Plenty of reasons for me to stick with this series for now. :)

What's up with the OP? Looked so weird and not going well with the show.

Art wise, imo it's not good but it isn't bad either.

The comedy in this episode was very good. That was one very low blow done to the guy in glasses lol, blaming him instead xD

This too.

Anyway, it would be interesting if Hagu's height actually ties into the story somehow. She's essentially a dwarf to be so short at 18. If it's treated appropriately, it could be interesting.

If it's just for cuteness... eh. I like petite people, but this is too much.

Seems pretty good so far, was recommended to me ages ago (can't remember why) and then again recently after I finished Nodame Cantabile. So I thought I might as well watch it. I must say the art is very good, especially the background art.

A funny show, funnier than I thought but yeah I agree very much the blonde girl is odd looking, she doesn't look anywhere near 18.

I'm so grossed out at how old that girl looks!

I literally felt naucious after I caught on that he was starring cuz he was attracted! At first I thot the guy was asking them to babysit Hagu!

Part of me wonders if they made this FOR perve's!? Pedo aside, I will admit, that this series is still enjoyable.

The white "flashback" filter covering almost the entirety of the episode is beyond annoying, does it stop at later episodes? First ep is kind of dumb with the stupid loli and most of the ep being random slapstick, I'm willing to give it a chance but that horrible filter doesn't incite me to

8.20?
Based on that rating, I was expecting a lot.

I was certainly not expecting that I could barely finish the first episode.
So far I thought "you can't judge an anime before you watched at least 2 or 3 episodes."

But now I don't see the point of watching a show that makes me dislike all of its characters and (especially) it's drawing style in only a few minutes.
(what's up with all those whited out eyes? That looks just terrible.)

This might be the first show I drop after episode 1, simply because I really really don't want to see more of that.

My first taste of josei anime, expecting something distinctly unlike what I've seen before.

Oh, it's a group of students and a "she's totally 18" loli. Okay, I'll take that too I guess :3

I really miss the days of making porcelain pots and vases at 3 AM in the dingy ceramics room at college (which was actually the basement of a converted house the school had bought and called the "art annex"). And then I finally got good at it after the summer class officially ended and there were no longer any girls around to impress (which is not why I was taking the class - that was because of a lifelong desire to learn to throw pottery - but would have been a nice bonus). And then everything I made got thrown away in a cleanup session that I didn't get the email about because I wasn't officially in the art program as either major or minor. At least I have this picture

TL;DR: I'm in.

But seriously, why care how she looks? It's just a character design, and she is 18.
The whole 'YEAH RIGHT 18 HURRHURRHURR' gets on my nerves. Isn't that a bit judging on looks?


Aye.

ukonkivi said:
What matters is how old she is and the context of her character, she's a college student who should present the mind of a college student. That's what matters.


Actually even at the end of college I still, for example, felt really nervous about even approaching the ticket counter at LACMA. You don't necessarily have to actively engage people much for college, except if/when in programs and classes that require it.

The main cast seems to compose of some rather intriguing characters. Hagumi, however, takes the loli archetype to the extreme... Still, I expect it will be an enjoyable ride.

I guess pottery and emotions must remain separate, eh, Yamada?

I liked it, but it seemed very disjointed and random. It kinda felt like I was coming into the middle of the story.
