My goodness, this is hands down, in my opinion, the best first episode of the season so far. High contender for AOTS just judging by the first episode. Lovely visuals and I think it's off to a great start so far. I think they set the tone perfectly so far just like in the manga. OP and ED were great as well.

Damn, I can't wait for more! Gotta catch up on the manga as well now. I bet this show will be a love or hate for a lot of people considering the manga's content and characters, but whatever.

So this basically has the vibe of White Album 2 except they're already dropping depression bombs in the first episode instead of letting it play out more organically. Honestly I don't really like this type of story-telling right off the bat, what with the info-dumping of the entire premise forming the basis for this whole episode. However, now that that's done with and we can get to a more natural story flow, I think this has the potential to be really good. Could go either way, though, so here's hoping.

Heavy, heavy show. This is gonna leave me depressed, got chills throughout the whole almost sex scene, it was incredibly directed with the music and animation.

The whole premise might have come off as stupid, but seeing it first-hand....i get what they are feeling. It is indeed scummy, but they see no way out of this.

Makes zero sense, but that's Japanese romance show for ya, it's little better then Mexican soaps, but still stupid enough for relaxation when I'm not studying (damn that lack of harem shows in the last few seasons).

As far as this anime season goes, this anieme is easily it's best looking one. As a fan of the manga, I wasn't sure how similar the Anime would be to the manga or wether the creators would pull a Tokyo Ghoul √A on everyone and make it completely different. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the narrative style and how well the characters are being depicted. It is true that a lot of characters haven't been introduced yet, however that doesn't hinder the first episode which is very, very well made.

The OP song has a sad and emotional vibe to it, thus making it perfect for this anime. The anime does a good job of pouring in human emotions into each and every scene, making the anime that much more believeable.

The one thing I am worried about is the length of this anime. If it is indeed an 11/12 episode anime and it tries to adapt the entire manga which is scheduled to end in this March, a lot of character development will be left out of the anime, thus causing it to become another Angel Beats AKA a well-made anime with very little character development.

I'm discovering that the torturous unrequited love type romance might be my guilty pleasure: what drew me was the promise of it in the description, and this episode didn't disappoint, the show's definitely looking better than expected.

If ya'll think theyre already scums as it is then you aint seen nothing yet, they become more horrible personality wise and action wise in the upcoming episodes, trust me.
For people that arent into those kind of stories with NTR and just plain horrible characters I suggest you dont watch this anymore, this gets crazier as ep goes by.

Really good first episode. I was confused at first because I thought he was her actual brother but towards the middle of the episode they kinda made it obvious he wasn't. Really interested to see were the story goes.

Looking forward to watching more.

That opening was freaking fantastic in my opinion, and the way the anime handled it's visuals and just the general art style were different, at least I haven't seen anything done like this before, and on top of that it was pretty dang cute, and pretty erotic.

Really started wondering how far they were gonna go with this, and then the dude started undressing her and stuff. It went pretty dang far. Any further and this could have been a hentai, and probably the only hentai I would watch. Anyway, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but not too much. This is going to be interesting.

I was really waiting for this anime after i heard that it's about a mature relationship not the cliché romance anime , and it turns to be good
But I made a small mistake after I missed a small part that they were neighbors and I thought they were real brothers and I thought it was incest, and as always there are some people who ready to attack you the online coward bullies, that I don't get....but after all it's the Internet people feel brave after hiding behind fake names

I think the music itself puts this anime way up on the Winter season. The visuals are also fantastic. I loved the panelling.

I do have some nitpicks though. I do hope they will explore Mugi's perspective more on this as well, though seems like they will happen later on(?). I also find it a bit strange how she calls the sensei straight up oniichan rather than -nii as a suffix. I wonder how far this relationship goes as well, considering this is the first episode.

Also, lol @ the ending scene, don't you usually sleep on the lap, not crotch?

Oh~ A good looking serious love drama! It's been a while... Having all of these actiony and otaku-ish anime around all the time has made me almost forget about the legitimate dramas. I'm definitely going to be sticking with this one, don't even need to see more than the start of ep1 to know that.

Good stuff, good stuff.

I'm actually more surprised there is such extensive interest and conversation to this anime already. That's a very good sign, people are tuning their noses to things less shallowly alluring.


...And then i watched the rest... holy hell, that was the best and most non-wasteful foreplay scene i've ever seen in anime.
This anime is fucking quality.

I wasn't sure if we'd get a gem this season, i was pretty sure we were just going to get another "slightly above average" season, but we have one here.

i agree with this, the high initial score is surprising.

I think this could very well turn out to be great but it also has trash potential. very weird place where after the first ep i really can't get a feel on whether or not the show will be good or to my liking.

Finally, an anime aside from this season aside from Gintama that I know I'm gonna keep up with!
This was such a good start, and whilst there wasn't anything particularly amazing about the art or animation, the colour palette is nice and there were some stunning stills. The little manga style panels worked well too.

Ah, how refreshing it is to have a romance anime where the main couple have a mutual lack of romantic interest in one another. Anime in general seems to forget that there is more than love and relationships than romance. Which, okay I do get considering it kinda kills the idea of the fairy tale romance altogether...but honestly it's much more intriguing when things like convenience and mutual interest are factored into any relationship. Like, despite Mugi and Hana not being in love with one another, their relationship is adorable...they're placing an immense amount of trust in one another so they're pretty much bros XD

I have no idea where this is going- who is gonna end up with who or if Mugi will fall for Hana or visa versa...which is great because with a shit ton of romance anime I can already see the conclusion laid out in front of me and it rarely gets executed in an engaging way. Intrigued about the other girls in the opening and from things that have been floating around online, I think I can expect some Yuri??? Win!!

Opening was alright (it'll prolly grow on me) , but the ending was gorgeous aside from the weird human centipede flower thingy.

Also more smut is welcome.
Oh yeah, and I am not trusting female sensei...or maybe I've just watched too many shoujo anime.

Nice first episode, did very well with setting the mood - everything from the visuals to the audio feels very fitting.

Stories like this are kinda my thing (like Umibe no Onnanoko, Aku no Hana, for example), so this is that one show of the season I'll be following along. //finds it hard to follow many ongoing things at once, so gotta choose carefully

Ah the eyes kinda annoy me here . I mean hana's eye color is purple (?) for example. But the color fades at the bottom of her eyes . Same for most of the characters.
The atmosphere was gloomy, and the art style complimented that. I think it's a solid start that established the premise of the story .

YES!!!! HELL YES DAMMIT!!!!

I was a fan of the manga before the anime announcement came, and I was shocked. What? Kuzu no Honkai on TV? No way!!

I thought that this story was way too "niche" and in some parts too raunchy to ever be animated - or if, then not for public TV consumption. And what happens? Masaomi Ando (director of White Album 2) picks it up. And if there's someone who knows how to make painful romantic drama stick, it's him.

This show is definitely not for everyone. But if you are open for a very unconventional and extremely interesting character study, and not easily shooed off by controversial themes, this is going to be a great show for you. Because it leaves the old paths and always keeps you on your toes, with unexpected developments.

Episode 1 was exceptionally well done and caught the atmosphere very well. Excellent job, Lerche. I'm here for the full ride. Sign me up for the season pass.

Everything has trash potential. Regardless of whatever idiotic reasons people are liking this anime for, it is indeed a piece of quality, and it's filling a hole that has been growing without people realizing: a drama vacuum. With some well handled scenes (i mean really well handled, absolutely no fanservice to be had), and a dramatic and fairly realistic premise, we have a lot of room for growth. If they got it in them to do something this quality, they have it in them to continue doing so.

I dunno how much legitimate anime drama you watch, but once you have ones that know to take themselves seriously from the get-go, they generally maintain that. Drama is japan's specialty when it comes to storytelling.

Have been reading the manga on and off and was pleased to see that it was adapted. Even more pleased to see that they have not toned down the 'nasty' of the story or introduced some comic relief crap.

I'm not sure about this yet. And I'm a bit surprised by the high score (manga has a bit lower score). Setting/plot seems like it's going to be interesting. (I guess there will be painful moments and one falling in love with the other while the other doesn't requite that love.)

Art/char design is beautiful.

But ... the pacing in the 1st half of the 1st episode was a bit boring. I guess this will get better next episodes since the 1st episode was for introduction/explaining the situation.

Also those scenes where they made it look a bit like manga panel ... I though they overused that. Didn't like it that much when they used in the episode when people were talking. The only thing were I thought it was okay was for showing environmental/atmospheric stuff like at the beginning with the plant and the water/rain drop.

Hopefully this will get better in next episodes. (They only should use it for stuff like that and when changing scenes ... at the beginning, at the end and in the middle/half of the episode maybe.)

It was wrong of the other person to insult you.

What I don't like about your initial comment is, that you asked, if the Japanese are really like this/want to have sex with siblings. That they show something in a fictional story, doesn't mean, that they want to do this in real life.

Western fiction has just as much incest as manga and anime. And you know how incest is perceived in western countries.

A semi-awake viewer shouldn't have missed that "oniichan" isn't actually her brother. He's an elder childhood friend. So, no incest.
