I really love how this has started, and has caught my attention really fast. Really highlighting different worlds right from the get go, in the sense of how people feel and go about with their likes. One feels like he can't come out with what he likes to do, as he's afraid he'll be made fun of, the works. While another, is more confident about her interests, and now they're coming together like this, in a wholesome way. Cannot wait to see more.

Okay, that was good! Can I have expectations for this show? I sure hope so, because I really can't help it. I'd a feeling since I watched the PV and I'm glad that the first episode for one delivered in flying colours.

For obvious reasons, Runway de Waratte sprung up to my mind but it's funny how the character seem even more polarised in this case. Marin-chan is a little too Genki lol but I respect her admiration and love. Meanwhile, Gojou is just too far down his hobby, almost to a notorious level to put it nicely.

Gee, that whole big scene where Gojou fears his life would end right there at the hands of Marin was something though. Hilarious but the animation stood out just as much. Priceless reactions and sequences. In general, the show felt quite colourful and right up my alley.

Also, I snorted a little when her crimson red panties showed for a second. Gojou handled that well, it must be said. Shoutout to Marin shutting down that ikemen too.

Op & ED were pretty nice both visually and song-wise too.

Strong start, this. Here's to hoping this will remain just as entertaining for the remainder of its journey, if not more.

@FMmatron Same, I’d a feeling from the PVs but the Op confirmed it for me. Especially that scene of Marin in different set of clothes.

Gojou kept making excuses, he should consider the encounter with Kitagawa to be a fotunate one. Sure their relationship will help him to leave his comfort zone more.

Seems like this will be a hilariously wholesome show.

Runway de Waratte definitely came to mind while watching this first episode.

Yup, Marin has sold me on the show. She's great and I love her personality and really like that she respects people's interests.

Production seems good and I hope the general tone also continues to be fun. Will definitely watch more for Marin at the very least.

Came for the waifu gonna stay for the story and waifu.

The premise is really simple and nice, liked it. I have a feeling this show is going to attract lots of viewers and has a potential of becoming anime of the season. The episode was really interesting, fun and simple, enjoyed every minute of it, didn't get bored for even a second, it was able to keep my attention for the whole 24 minutes.

The OP and ED are quite good, the visuals for both are really nice too and in tone with the atmosphere and theme of the anime, loved it.

Gojo loves dolls and is thus able to make some dolls and sew their clothes.

Kitagawa is into cosplay and when she finds out Gojo can sew clothes, she asks him to sew a cosplay outfit for her to which he agrees.

It's just episode 1 and our main characters' personalities are developed a bit already. We already know what type of people they are and what their passions are.

I was eagerly waiting for "the waifu" to appear in the episode and when she did I couldn't help but smile. I'm already calling it, she's at least waifu of the season if not of the year.

I liked this episode quite a lot so I'm gonna rate this 9/10 already xD. Think whatever you want but if I see a enjoyable episode with cute waifu its already a 10/10 for me, its just the starting so I'm rating it 9/10, let's see how this anime turns out to be at the end, I just hope it doesn't go downhill after such a great first episode, if the same quality is maintained throughout all the episodes it will definetely be a 10/10 from me.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

This was a really good first episode. As critical as I have been about clovoerworks in the past, they really hit it out of the park with this episode. The voice actors nailed it and my only complaints is that Funimation didn't work in Marins trademark "totes adorbs" into the subs. I do have 2 questions about the show though

A- Are they going to work in the highly technical aspects of the cosplaying? Like Blue Period the manga, Sono Bisque Doll really does do a deep dive into the nuances of cosplay. I can kind of see it not making the cut which would be a shame but understandable.

B-What are they going to do about 86 jacking its last two time slots

So I'm completely up to date with the manga, and I'm a big fan of it. It's a solid first episode in my opinion, probably 90-95% true to the source material. Some differences I noted were Gojou being noticeably creepier when talking to the hina doll (in the manga it's a look of love, bit in the anime he legit looks like a perv), and I'm pretty sure Kitagawa was less self-conscious in the manga (iirc, she easily stripped in front of him in the home ec room, feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken). Lastly, Kitagawa's fall was just a small nudge into Gojou in the manga, but here it looks like a possibly fatal head injury lol.

I'm extremely happy with the art style (takes the gorgeous manga art and improves it subtly even further) as well as the character voices. Kitagawa sounds good and I'm more than fine with Gojou - I see many people saying he should have a deeper voice, but I think that's just the bias of him being a bigger guy. He is still supposed to be a 15yo at the end of the day, so I think the voice suits him. The ONLY thing bothering me was the FPS. For such a great art style, I just feel like it needed even more fluid animation. May just be me.
I think youre right about Marin being shy in that scene. Shes a model and used to being in revealing clothing. It's been a minute but I dont think she really is all that shy until
Yep, I can't remember if it's before or after

This has potential to be one of the standout shows this season and it has certainly lived up to the hype so far. Marin has stole the show as usual as she wants to fulfill her dreams of cosplaying her favorite characters. I feel for Gojo in a sense that he gets ridiculed for being a Hina doll maker which is a shame because Hina dolls are very beautiful. I look forward to seeing how their relationship develops.

Faithful as can be. Very cute. I wonder how much they'll turn up the ecchi nob as the story progresses, esp with where the manga goes.

I would say for the story's sake - the fact the ecchi/fanservices-y stuff was minimal (relatively) in ep1 means its not going to be the forefront.

Except for one tiny scene where Wakana looked like he was channeling his inner Rudeus while looking at the Hina doll, it was awesome! The OP shows succubus Marin too, that ep or eps will be reeeeallly interesting!

This was a great first episode. The anime properly encapsulated Marin's cheerful and energetic personality. Same with Gojo, as his portrayal was completely opposite of her. The animation was really smooth. The body movements and the facial expressions were really expressive. I hope they can keep it up. Also the ed was cute.

This was another "I like how the show looks" show for me when i first heard about it and I couldn't not remember the other time I was utterly disappointed (tantei wa mou shindeiru and takt op.) but this looks that it is gonna be legit good.

Not even that, the concept is just awesome. Sometimes you get tired of main characters looking and dressing up the same for the whole season apart from seasonal clothes change, but this will most definitely be different in this regard.

Both characters are so far very likable, just too people really enjoying their particular hobbies. Great material for a wholesome show!
Tantei and Takt Op are a fucking joke, but this, this is so freaking good.

The animation is great and follows the manga to most extend so great job there.

The only thing I didn't like was the main character's voice. I was hoping for a little more masculine voice for Gojou and a more feminine/little high-pitched for Marin so I'm kind of let down there but again, maybe it's just me.

A Big Fan of the manga btw and can't wait for the next episode overall. 👍🏻

FINALLY after Christmas and New Years it’s good to be back to some seasonal anime and in particular my most anticipated show of the season. Sonobisque first episode didn’t disappoint at all. I was a little worried that Cloverworks would butcher it like they did Horimiya, but looks from the first episode anyway, that this will be better. Art, animation and voice acting on point.

I already know anitwt about to be all over Marin and using her in aesthetic posts tho, smh.

It's only been one episode and the protagonist, Wakana Gojo, he's a lone wolf that people find him creepy because of his hobby of making traditional Japanese dolls his grandpa made. Then some popular trendy girl named Marin Kitagawa comes in and she is a cosplayer. She wants him to be her personal designer. This might be some awkward romance.

If ep1 is the standard by which the series will fallow for quality then the production level is definitely premium on this one and I do hope for a full 24eps though that will probably be over 2 seasons of 12.

Am very glad that this got an adaption. Who'd have thought the manga I randomly stumbled upon (and enjoyed) would get an adaption so early. I swear it was only recently that I found out about my dress up darling. Anyway-- I'm sure Marin is going to steal the show. Everytime she's on the screen she lights it up. Hoping that Cloverworks does a good job!

Came in blind to this one and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely art and character designs and sweet and simple story. Marin is going to get thousands of favourites before the season is over I bet.

Good episode. (But not great.) Feels a bit similar to Runway. But from the atmosphere more like comedy. (And therefore more on a 7-ish or ... if it stays good 8-ish level, not 9-ish like Runway.) (Especially the last scene in the sewing room and the behaviour of the chars there. Was almost a bit "too much" for me.)
