I acually tought sadoko/sawoko was a bit too melodramatic and sometimes annoying.

I'm not a fan of Mamiko Noto's voice but I do like Sada- Sawako. This was a very sweet first episode and I'm definitely gonna continue but ... 9 volumes? With so much development in the first episode I'm not sure how the author managed to stretch this series out so long.

I haven't read the manga so I'm not all crazy going into the anime adaptation. I liked the first episode, I didnt fall in love with it but it's alright. I will continue to watch it.

Okay, the first impression I got after watching this episode was, MOTHERFUCKING GOOD. Omg, I just loved everything that happened. I loved Sawako, I loved that pleasant guy, I loved the courage test, I loved the art, animation, and the school.

If this kind continues, then I might give this Anime a 10. This is actually the first time I've watched an Airing Anime, and I was expecting high in this Anime. I'm very happy that it didn't fail because I really liked it.

Also, I loved Sawako's face everytime she does something. the face is damn hilarious.

Good elements. The first episode was a bit... meh for me. Probably because I'm not such a great fan of slowness or small talk. The show looks promising though!

Though the story is sorta not very unrealistic... (Come on people, a nice person with a scary appearance can't be misunderstood for that long. In my case, I got friends in elementary school because kids don't really care about appearance... well, not my friends)

HOWEVER!!! I do like the story. Shoujo isn't really my type of genre, but, at some point, I can really relate to it. So, I like it.

The colour and animation is pretty well done. It fits the story perfectly. Chibi Sawako is really CUTE!!!

I've heard nothing but great things about this show and it's rated pretty high on MAL so I guess I'll give it a shot. So far so good, I've been looking for a nice, mellow, to fit into my schedule and this seems perfect!

I was a bit biased against this for it being a shoujo, but now that I've watched it, I'm in love with this anime. Production I.G. has done a great job as usual, and Mamiko Noto's voice just takes this whole experience to another level. The pastel coloring is awesome. Shoujo style drawing does not really impress me, but its not half bad either. The chibi versions may need a design rework. All in all, I'm glad I didn't chicken out of this anime completely. Downloading whatever Eclipse has to offer now.

Looks good!

I really like the art and the overall.. shoujoness. Sawako seems like a sympathetic character, I expected her to be more shy/angsty in a dull way and thus dislike but naaaww, she's sweet. ^_^ I'll most likely enjoy this series, just hope it won't have too many misunderstandings/love triangles going on forever, although I guess that's inevitable.

Oh and I, too, like the OP & ED.

OMFG Sawako is so kawaii lmaoo!!

"I'm sorry. I can't communicate with spirits"
LMFAO I love how the girl started crying, this anime is so cute and relaxing

But throughout the entire episode i just kept thinking Bokura Ga Ita. The drawing style is so similar and Kazehaya looks just like Yano except with black hair. I've been looking for a Bokura Ga Ita clone and i've found it.

I love this anime :D too bad it's not finished airing. I hate waiting >_>

Judging just by episode 1, this series looks like it will be setting the stages for uniqueness in this kind of genre. I love the story on how Sawako seems to be an out cast, and has to learn to be excepted by others. The relationship between the two main characters seems to be moving fast, I am hoping that it still has room for much development. Which I feel it will. :)

is it silly to think of Sawako as a cuter version of Sunako (Yamato Nadeshiko...(if even possible, at that))??

i'm in love --but not with Mamiko Noto's voice (sorry, Shinonome-sensei ruined it for me)

Well, I liked how it started. :) The characters in particular seem likable - maybe even the potential strong points in this anime...? The story did not seem that special, but yeah I obviously loved all the characters. :D Sawako is kind of brave in her own way.

I like the opening and the background music, but the ED didn't impress me too much... Oh well? Personal taste after all...

Definitely going to keep watching - for Sawako and Kazehaya~

Okay, have to admit it was pretty boring and.. how should i call it.. way to "sweet" romance till the middle/ending of this episode.. it totally surprised me when sawako started crying.. and from then on i loved the episode >> will continue to watch this anime :)
i want to watch some good romance-animes again.. still have to watch clannad ~after story~ but i didn't had much time till now that's why.. @_@

oh and edit: i don't really like mamiko noto's voice.. i dunno but it sounds weird for me.. would prefere sth. like shana from shakugan no shana.. but i guess i will get used to it & hopefully like it, too.. ^^

Wow, the first couple of minutes reminded me of Angel Densetsu. Couldn't have started any better, haha. This may well turn out to be the best drama I have seen since Nodame Cantabile. Well, heres hoping anyway! Oh and Sawako is great and I am happy there is a popular male role. Getting tired of tsunderes.

I'm gonna have to hurry this show done so I can make it time for season 2, but it shouldn't take too long since show is pretty good I guess, well at least what I've seen from the 1st ep. On the side I'm glad Mamiko Noto is voicing her, and when she spoke in the creepy voice she totally reminded me of Ai Enma, since she's the same VA.

Nice start. I already took a liking to Kazehaya and Sawako.

The story is generic and pretty simple, but the way it was presented it’s charming. I’ll have to habituate to the art, or rather, character design, even though the animation is great and the soft pastel coloring was really pretty.
I didn’t like the OP or ED themes too much. They grow on me later, I guess.

Seems like I’ll enjoy Kimi ni Todoke a lot~
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

At first I was not interested about this anime at all. But then my friends kept bugging me about it and then I decided to check it out.

And I am glad I listened to them, this is something that I love.

Not a few series out there that makes me cry on the first episode lol.

I found most of the episode more comedic than romantic (chibi for the win).
I must say, the background colors are very vivid and comforting. It's so relaxing...

Can't really say I "Loved it!" because I was expecting Kazehaya to be much more... refreshing. I love his wide smile, so I was anticipating to see a lot of it in the first episode.

On the other hand, I love Sawako. <3 I love her voice and her many adorable expressions. *A*

I loved the OP. And the ED... not so much. But it was still nice. Thumbs up!
