| Reminds me of NHK ni Youkoso. I'll just wait till it ends and see what people think cause shows like this are predictable usually but its not a bad thing. It's just that if youve seen something similar I don't feel like it's worth watching. |
| When I first read the synopsis, I wasn't planning on watching this at all, but I saw alot of people praising it and now I know why. This is a great start to what should be a great series, so I hope that this stays good! |
 |
| This anime is full of tropes I hate, I really hope Nonaka stops being nosy and annoying, she's ruining it for me. Hopefully this improves and she becomes less annoying... |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| A slice of life where the protagonist confesses in the first episode? what is this? common sense in a story? |
| I was really digging the overall vibe of the show while watching it. I want to say it's my favorite first episode from the new shows I've seen so far. |
| 1 episode in and we already have a strong start with a rejection and a mysterious girl added into the love triangle mix |
| Interesting pilot episode. Slice of life never ceases to amaze me. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| I liked pretty much everything about it. It has the same feeling as NHK, but kinda softer. Hype confirmed, 10/10 till now |
 |
| Yoshida Saki is that you, I'm calling it, she has an emergence-ish backstory, heck the dreads and glasses in her flashback then she changed bruh And damn the mc, what a beta male cuck simp |
 |
| Great first episode. Kinda relatable |
 |
| that was a great first episode the animation is smooth as expected from Doga Kobo its been a while since i watch a slice of life show so lets see how it turns out |

| fuck this show is so damn relate able ton of NHK vibes first time i've seen Doga kobo do a non moe SOL, i'm in also pretty wild it isn't in current times at first i was like this homie got a old ass crt hanging out in his room then the cassette showed up and bam were in the 90s fam. Haru has a nice smile but her hair is wack |
 |
| Going in I was assuming this took place in modern times, but MC is handed a cassette and busts out his walkman without blinking, and uses a film camera without seeming like a hipster, so I’m guessing this actually takes place around 1997, when the manga debuted? Would also help to explain his life-view as that would place it right in the middle of Japan’s economic “lost decade” 🤔 Liking it in any event 😁 |
| “SAITO! YOU NEED TO EXPLODE! FOR THE WORLD’S SAKE!” |
| Wow this hits just a *little* too close to home for me. |
| as much as i like an enjoyable slice of life genre like Kakushigoto, I was really looking for a sol like this. This gives real life vibes and is really relateable. Oregairu, Orange, Just because, are some of the examples, and I really hope this series will turn out to be good or even better as what I have expected. Will definitely wait and watch every week for this one. |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| I actually liked the pacing for the first episode and i’m starting to like haku already |
 |
| Not entirely sure how I feel about this show... Rikuo is an interesting enough dude, though I'm not sure his character archetype is going to carry my investment through the whole season. Haru is playing a delicate balancing act between 'cute and bubbly' and 'fake and obnoxious'. She's on the right side of that line for now, but I'm worried it'll only get worse as things progress. This show has a sense of impending drama about it. Then Shinako is... odd, I get the sense she only turned Rikuo down because she saw Haru coming onto him and feels like she 'owes' her in some way. I guess she's a 'kind to a fault' kind of person, but that'll be hard for specifically me to swallow if and when she starts regretting that decision when the aforementioned drama kicks in. Basically a whole lot of "This is fine, but..." feelings from me right now. The show as a whole even feels almost more like it has the tone of a film than a TV Anime, which gives everything a weird sense of juxtaposition. Nothing quite feels right, but nothing quite feels wrong either. It is a very bizarre middle ground, but we'll have to give this a couple more episodes to see which way it'll lean more towards. gappasaurus said: This is adapted from something that came out in the 90's!?Going in I was assuming this took place in modern times, but MC is handed a cassette and busts out his walkman without blinking, and uses a film camera without seeming like a hipster, so I’m guessing this actually takes place around 1997, when the manga debuted?

| After watching just one episode I have the feeling that I have found my AOTS. In spite of it being some kind of romantic drama it has a tranquil vibe that I really like and am looking for in every season. Curiously it called to my mind an old and obscure series called True Tears that I watched like seven or eight years ago, perhaps because it dealt with a love triangle as well and had a character similarly eccentric like Haru but she was obsessed with a rooster instead of a crow but this is clearly more relatable and mature in tone than that show was. |

夏草や 兵どもが 夢の跡  |
| Really enjoyed this first episode!! The art is nice and the soundtrack too. The characters are also intriguing and I can feel for them already! I like this kind of story ~ lookin forward to more |
| Oooh, I really enjoyed that. I already know I'm going to like this, possibly become one of the best of the season. 9/10. |
| Seems good, already can see some drama and conflicts in future episodes. Character doesn't seems too exaggerated. Just wanna know, how old is Haru? |
| Hmm, it's alright. The dialogue is a bit weird, since they speak in metaphors and quotes. I am hoping it becomes either a Tsuki ga Kirei or Honey and Clover, which is great. I'm excited to meet the other male character (cv Hanae!!!!) as well. Grounded_mind said: Should be around 17-22 as she was in school when she bumped into him five years ago.Just wanna know, how old is Haru? |
| Promising anime! Very much enjoyed the first episode. It's somewhat realistic that it allows young adults/adults to relate. |
You can just be yourself. Do things your own way, one step at a time. You'll get there. Just be yourself, you'll be fine." ~Fruit Basket |
| Damn this is actually really great! It exceeded my expectations. The story really hits close to home, especially the MC and his attitude on life. The despair of feeling like an outcast to society, the self deprecation from not living up to your expectations, the embarrassment you feel when others are doing well in life and you aren’t. Really like the part where MC rejects the graduation reunion as it epitomizes this feeling of inferiority when you see others’ success. I’m interested to see why MC got rejected, as I do think the teacher does care for him. I wonder how their relationship will advance after this confession. This anime feels very realistic imo, and I’m looking forward to the character development. I can already see this being a story where the characters lick each other’s wounds, and start to grow because of it. Haru, aka crow girl looks to be putting on a facade of optimism, while underneath more issues lie. The only thing I’m worried about is this turning into a love triangle, despite MC getting turned down. This looks very promising. I’m on board ! |
| This series really reminds me why I love slice of life. There wasn't anything supernatural, and things are ordinary. To some it might feel boring or ordinary, but that's exactly why I'm so drawn to it. I loved every second of this from the beginning to the end. I loved how realistic it felt, with little forced and over-the-top drama. Like the confession, it was just that. Confession, with light music in the background, and the words are a bit over the place like a real confession would be. There was no dramatic music, shots, or sound effects, or heated inner monologues (not that I'm not a fan of those too, but I also really appreciate and love this sort of thing). Definitely a series I'll be watching this season. |
 |
| pretty sweet first episode i did notice that the character movements looked really smooth, or was it just me? |
 |
| Not sure what to think about this series so far. I'm just giving it a chance since the last time I watched a Doga Kobo's "serious" show (that being Plastic Memories), I had a quite pleasant experience so for now, let's see what this one can offer. Besides, both series having the same director sure is a plus. Decent first episode overall. Like the mature atmosphere and Haru's character has me quite intrigued if I'm honest. Rikuo on the other hand... I don't know. I mean, considering the melancholic setting, I wasn't expecting him to be the most outgoing person but I find him kinda boring in both personality and dialogues. Hope my interpretation of him can change later on tho. |
| This was nice. A good change of pace compared to the usual high school setting. Nice atmosphere, characters are quite likeable so far and the drama is quite chilled down and realistic. I’ll definitely stick around for this one. |
| This is one of the show's I thought looked the most interesting out of everything this season, and it did not disappoint. I feel like it might be one of those stories where all our problems would be solved if the main character was a bit more assertive, but I guess if the main character was a bit more assertive we wouldn't have a great story or setting like this. Besides, Haru is exactly my type, so I'm happy to watch even if I'm not such a big fan of the main character. Hell, this might become one of my favourites of the year. I'm pretty sure this is also the last show this season I'm gonna give a shot. Everything after this looks kinda shit. |
| I am so lucky, i can watch this in Youtube too (Ani-One Channel) with English subtitle. So unexpected, this is made by Doga Kobo. Are they really sing "Yesterday"? |
| first anime i ever watched about real life and at the beggining i felt like it as a 'bad', 'average' and 'fine' at the same time, then it started getting better but i still have trouble scoring it cose i dont know what the goal of the anime is, like is it supposed to teach u? make u feel bad or good? also i am dead inside so thats that about real life |
 |
| I really loved this one. One of the better first episodes from the entire roster of Spring Anime 2020. This is the best first episode for the adult or mature category of Anime. This is definitely way more relatable than Nami yo Kiitekure which is more comedic. I'm looking forward this series. |
| 臭い- |
| Slow-paced and not overdramatic, just how I like my dramatic romance series. Atmosphere and overall tone reminds me a lot of Just Because!, which is a good thing |
| Finally.....FINALLY. It's been 5 years since I can actually enjoy a Doga Kobo anime. So rare since their main focus are moe shit shows. A wonderful first ep. 5/5 |
