| I'll have to check out the director of this series, because I think it's unique directing style, as well as the color palette and stylistic choices, did a lot to really make the first episode special. |
| Wow, just WOW! That art style, that OP and THAT ED!!! This was way beyond my wildest expectations! |
 |
| Pretty cool premier. Very stylish and an interesting premise. I'm glad the show moved away from a romance focusing on the senpai. That would have been much less interesting, especially since it was clear she barely even knew this guy. It's nice that she even had this exact revelation. |
| Great art style and it seems really interesting |
| nice first episode good art style but the animation is meh its more like reading the manga with voice actors |

| What a great first episode! Even if there's not much animation, the cutesy artwork more than makes up for it. Lerche has really been stepping up their game recently, first with Kanata no Astra and Given back in the summer season, and now with Hanako-kun. |
 |
| Well that was disappointing. Never trust manga hype trains. |
| Just repeating others but am liking the visuals but do wish the animation was a bit more. It appears to be quite minimal, which is a shame. With their designs, it would be have been a treat. Despite the unique style, this might just end up as something I just watch while doing something else. |
| Wow the art style is really unique I really like the use of panels, I for one don't really mind the animation, also the story looks really cute. |
 |
| That was a really good start. The two protagonists are great between them, they make a good relationship. It made me laugh at many points, the mix between comedy/fantasy/action is pretty great made. Both OP & ED songs are epic. The animation and the drawings style is just perfect, so many details and great environments. 98/100 |

emraanash said: sometimes it feels like dark sometimes comedy ,whats happening? Buckle up because that's Hanako-kun in a nutshell. It gets dark but manages to still feel fluffy. You ain't seen anything yet. Hatsuyuki said: That felt quite lackluster for a first episode. Like, I'm not hooked, at all. I wonder if this is going to turn into an episodic anime where they deal with wishes from random students every week. If that's the case then I'm not interested. Nice art thought. Guess I'll give it two more episodes. It's not. Literally the only time a wish is ever is the manga is Nene's wish. It centers around the 7 mysteries of the school along with some other plot lines entangled within. Overall I liked it, but Hanako's voice is going to have to grow on me. It's the only thing that felt off. Nene's adorable, though. I just hope it doesn't move to fast. There were some characters in the OP I was surprised to see for this being only 12 episodes. |
 |
| Absolutely love the show's aesthetics. The animation indeed looks "limited" but it's not a big deal, being honest. Interesting start overall. Really liking Hanako and Nene's dynamic so far. |
| This was way more entertaining than I thought it would be, I was initially interested in this because of the 2 main seiyuu, Kitou Akari and Ogata Megumi. Story is nothing to write about but the artstyle and the way they execute scene to scene is nostalgic somehow, it soothes me. Like everyone noticed the animation is pretty meh but for an anime like this, artwork seems to be more than enough to tell and do the stuffs it wants to do and the seiyuu upping the charm. ED is somehow.... depressing but in a good way. |
  |
| Absolutely loved it! Can't wait for more! <3 |
 |
| show sure has a look to it i'll take anything half decent this season lol |
 |
| Wow! Virtually no experience with the manga, but I really liked the first episode! The art style and colors are gorgeous, I didn't even mind the lack of animation. The characters are fun, Hanako and Nene have some great comedic chemistry, and I personally love the sound of Hanako's voice (Megumi Ogata???!!!). Looking forward to this. |
  |
| Wow it was just as good as I expected. Totally hit me in all the right spot, the animation, artstytle, music/songs and the direction. Definitively makes me want to read the manga but I'll refrain and experience this as an anime. Truly a beautiful first episode 5/5 this is my AOTS I can feel it not that I watch many anime every season so it doesn't mean much |
| As usual, the winter season has some of the best shows. The farming reminded me of Bakarina. |
| Fam this deserves a 10/10 for effort and execution. I did not know i loved bold black outlines so much till right now. And not segmenting a show in 2 or 3 but 15 to set the mood felt really good even if i didnt enjoy all of it. This anime is gonna have to go so down hill from this point to make me fall out of love with it. |
| Loved the first episode, art, characters, voice acting, story so far. I'll give it careful 8 for now, though first episode was more of 9 for me. Don't get what people are complaining about animation, I found it well animated. It doesn't look like show that needs more. |
| im loving the aesthetic of this show. colors and character designs are pleasing to the eye. Animation is a bit lacking but tbh that's fine for the first episode considering it's more dialogues than anything else. Hanako's voice is quite suitable when he speaks in a low tone (the "behind you" in the trailer) but sometimes it sounds weird when he's just speaking normally. i'm loving all the cameos of the important characters in the background lol OP and ED are great. can't wait for next episode. (for some reason the art reminds me of Demon Slayer... apparently the ED "Tiny Light" is sang by Akari Kitou, the voice actress of Nezuko XD |
| I am loving this art! |

I wonder if this is going to turn into an episodic anime where they deal with wishes from random students every week. If that's the case then I'm not interested. Nice art thought. Guess I'll give it two more episodes. I share the same sentiment. The art style is cute, I like the color palette and even the panels are cute (can't remember specific examples aside from Hakumei to Mikochi). I don't mind the "lack" of animation that some people are mentioning, either. But the story definitely didn't hook me. I found myself wanting the episode to end not even half way through, and it doesn't take much for me to have a positive first episode impression. Maybe it's because of the hype, or maybe nothing about the characters interests me so far. I am interested, however, in some of the side characters, some which haven't shown up yet. Anyways, it's just the set up episode, there's a likelihood that the rest will be more enjoyable :> I guess I'd rather have a lackluster beginning becoming better than good beginning becoming worse. There's obviously also much more to this, such as who is Jibaku really and why is he (stuck?) granting wishes. And there's the 7 Wonders of the school being mentioned, maybe we'll see more of that. |
| You have no idea how relieved and excited I was when I watched the first episode, Lerche really did a great job with replicating the original style of Aida Iro, the ost sounded pretty great, the va’s sounded great, and the op and ending are both bops too. I loved how much symbolism the ending had, and a certain part of it made me think that one of the theories I have for the show could possibly be true? Which is really damn cool. I hope and pray that this show get the appreciation it deserves so much. I think the only concern that I have right now is the animation, which is what I was initially worried about. I’ve not ever been super impressed with Lerche’s animation, and this series contains a lot more action than you’d think at first glance, I’m kind if worried about how some of the scenes in the manga that looked incredible in my head will turn out, hopefully Lerche will surprise us. |

| Yes! Finally! It's here! It's adapted so well! uwu! I love seeing yashiro and hanako come alive in anime form! Everything is perfect! |
| Wow. WTF did i just watch!!?? Amazing. I have no words to express my excitement towards first episode. My mind was absolutely blown by the animation. The first episode was like a dream. So beautiful, so cute, so kind and left me with a warm feeling inside my heart. This is the dream that you'd never want an end. The characters are stunningly well-written and are just too cute. This will definitely be one of my favourites of all time |

| I’d watch it just for the art style and Ogata Megumi as Hanako-kun. The chemistry between the characters is amazing indeed and to be fair I was sold as soon as I heard urban legends being mentioned. |
 |
| This was cute 🙀💥 |
 |
| Toilet Bound? More like Slideshow-bound. Can't they just drop the anime pretense and be more honest about the fact that it's actually an animated comic? |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
phantomfandom said: I don't like the heterosexual element in this, otherwise it's ok. God dude, they’re kids.. this anime is more than just something to satisfy that kind of ‘fetish’. |
| finally I get to see yashiro's daikon feet animated |
| Okay, this was great, and really funny too. I laughed out loud when she accidentally pushed that guy down the stairs, and with that creepy bentou she made. xD I also liked when even another guy wanted to give his button to that senpai. The last confront with the mermaid and stuff was cool too. And I like both the OP and the ED. The character design is also great, but her legs are weird indeed. I thought it was something characteristic of the design, but the other girls seem to have normal legs. The daikon jokes were kind of funny too. xD |

Moonlitcritter said: I dont understand why people aren't fond of Hanako's voice. It's literally perfect and the seiyuu does a great job between making Hanako switch between sounding sarcastic, comedic and caring to Nene. Is it because the seiyuu is a woman and not a man playing Hanako like Kou? Because that voice doesn't fit Hanako's design at all. Has nothing to do with him being voiced by a woman. For me, it's just too airy. Hanako is sly and smooth in the manga and so the airy nature of the delivery isn't what I expected. I don't hate it, it's just a little off. There isn't much chance to show off any range in the mermaid story, so maybe when they get to some more dynamic moments the VA will get to show some more range. |
|
| Very boring. Bad comedy, not funny at all. Has no interesting plot Also, I don't like the art |

| WOAH, WOAH WOAH! What an epic start! With Lerche's very distinctive and striking artstyles and animation, and one of the studio's prolific directors Ando Masaomi, this series is off to a fantastic start. Character wise, Hanako the infamous school ghost is as witty and funny as I remember from the manga. The comedy aspect was good, pretty much mimicking the comic-book style which fits the manga to a T. Speaking of which, it's more than just a perfect adaptation, it's speaking volumes when the anime takes the manga and improves upon it, which is even rare in the industry space. Definitely one of the best shows of the new season! |
 |
| As manga reader, I enjoyed this episode a lot. Yes, like others have said multiple times, the animation is lacking but the art style and overall aesthetic make up for it. The voice acting cast is great, imo, because Ogata Megumi's voice gives Hanako a playful voice with an obvious latent sinister tone that can be executed at any moment. Nene sounds fucking adorable both in human and fish form. We even got a peek of some characters who will show up later. I love the OP the most and the ED isn't too bad either. This will definitely be my number one feel good series of the season. |
