| Coming from A-1 pictures who has a done few romance shows like Kaguya-sama, Your lie in april and Wotakoi to name a few, i knew this was going to be good. Man but that was better than my expectation. Annas design reminds me of Rikka from Gridman. Blue haired heroine and Osananajimi, our girl had her work cut out for her, of course she wasn’t going to win. Can she break the curse with our MC this time around though?? Voice cast seems pretty strong especially the side characters (Chiaki, Atsumi, Reina, sumire, Azumi, yuuseke, Ryouta) definitely looking forward to the rest of the show |
| Rejoice, A-1 Pictures is back on the romcom scene for the first time since Kaguya-sama, and they feel right at home with this one. Again, as we've seen from several shows this season, such as Wistoria, The Elusive Samurai, and Shoushimin Series, we've been blessed with some really solid animation, but this one in particular, really stood out to me in the visual department, with hyper-expressive character acting, and incredible cinematography. As for the story itself, it was one of the funnier shows I have seen this season, with the comedic timing, and the characters themselves, especially Anna. Kazuhiko doesn't seem like the most interesting character so far, with him being a mob character of sorts. The premise is also quite unique, with the main character dealing with girls that have "lost" in their relationships with their love interests. It was a silly premiere, yet heartfelt, truly a striking balance. Out of the romance shows in this season, this one stands out with a lot of promise, and I can't wait for where we go next with this one. |
| Wah another banger from A-1 picture The quality of animation also that Hitomi's Love2000 cover by female MC for the ED!! |
 |
| another funny sleeper hit. nice |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I think it's an interesting approach for a typical setup. The character dynamic really sold me. Also the ED is pretty good. |
| Did not expected this to be so good. Good character designs and well executed plot. As expected of A1 Pictures. I'm liking the main losing girl so far. She's such an adorable gremlin. |
| I find the characters sympathetic and endearing, I like the pace, which is quite lively, and the animation is superb. I hope it continues like this, I can't see anything wrong with it! |
| Incredible and bizarre first episode. I was in a constant state of disbelief. It feels like an insane amount of quality and work put into what feels like a goofy gag anime. The very last shot was Anna pulling a sausage/oden (?) out of her pocket and taking a bite off it, and it was one of the most beautiful shots I've seen in a while. This in itself has to be a joke, right? I don't find this particularly funny or interesting story-wise, but I'm absolutely following this. |
| Nana is such a dumbass and goofball of a character I love her so damn much. You can really sympathize with her while also understanding why with that personality she is rejected lmao. This has already been my most anticipated show alongside Shoshimin, and man does this not disappoint. |
| That was one enjoyable first episode. Saw myself in this, being on the sidelines watching things develop between others and then they come to me for some kind of support. I hope it continues on and not add unnecessary drama into it. |

| Holy kino. We have so much slice of life/romance series this season and they're all fucking great, they all have something different to offer. This show I feel definitely had the strongest impact though, like it's so beautiful, directing's great and characters are already hitting, it's hilarious too. Those are an absurd amount of ribbons though, what is this school cooking with their uniforms? |
 |
| man this is animated waaayyy better than i was expecting it to be ^w^ im looking forward to seeing where this goes |
| Yanami Anna >blue hair >professional childhood friend >lost to a transfer student the absolute classic! very fun start, really like the characters and the mood of this show also why their uniforms have 4 bowties? lol Too many losing heroines, more like too many bowties |
| i am a manga reader.. seeing these character move is enough to make me happy :) |
 |
| I love the old romantic dramedy vibes that this anime gives off. I even remembered once again why I was so salty that PAWORKS switched to adaptations of non-existent CGDCT manga instead of shows like this. Yes, this show once again overuses the theme of lost childhood friends, but it does it in quite an interesting way and we even get a harem of lost childhood friends, which I honestly haven't seen before. Overall, after the first episode, this looks like a pretty solid classic thematic high school harem, created with love for the genre in mind. @hibro420 They are too different and at the same time complement each other well. Classic drama, ironic dramedy and pure comedy. Different sides of LN romance. It's like we saw the revival of an entire genre for one season. @IzanaSolos What if I told you that you don't have to attack other shows to enjoy your favorite? Seriously, man. They're both good. |

| I'm impressed with the first episode. The visuals and overall production quality put into it is great, with the moment where Anna was standing on the rooftop as the wind blew being a standout moment for me. Speaking of, Anna is a very amusing character with how she tries to cope with losing out to her friend in terms of Sosuke. I enjoyed her interactions with Kazuhiko a lot, where the pair have a fun dynamic with each other already. We got to see some of the other girls as well, but I'm sure they'll get more of a focus in later episodes. The ED was a nice jam to listen to, which paired well with the style that the visuals went for it. Overall, a great start and one that I'll be looking forward to a lot for this summer season. =) |
| interesting yeah, interesting and another think this has lots of love triangle, lmao |
 |
| Yeah this is the best 1st eps of this season romcom, gorgeous visual, great chemistry, interesting plot. |
| This feels cathartic after reading so many shitty love triangle series with a losing childhood friend. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Unfortunately I could not fit this one on my Saturdays this season, so onto Sunday it goes lol, because seeing that this was yet another romance anime this season and it’s by A-1, also it’s one I knew about beforehand, I couldn’t miss it. And wow what a first episode this was, A-1 has done an amazing job just on how beautiful the show looks, the art and animation look so good along with some great backgrounds, and the character designs are great as well, the multiple bow ties is an interesting choice but it’s certainly unique and cute lol. And the show itself has a very interesting premise, giving more attention to the “losing heroines” of romance stories which are often my best girls if you just take a look at my favorite characters list lol, so it already feels like it’s catered to folks like me who love these kind of characters. And at the center of these losing girls is our MC Nukumizu, and based on how his moments with Yanami went (who even has the signature losing girl blue hair lol) I’m guessing he will witness each main girl of the show lose in their own stories and become the pillow to cry into lol, I love it already. Yanami herself has been a delight to watch too, venting all of her frustrations to Nukumizu and even having to owe him on her crazy bill she made him pay at the beginning has been cute and hilarious, while at the same time upsetting because it feels like I’m witnessing the hurt some of my favorite waifus have probably gone though, especially that very last scene on the roof. But with that being said, I’m sure this is gonna be a very fun series, it will probably be a favorite of mine this season as well, and that was such a good ED too, those visuals are perfect and the song is a jam, haven’t heard the original song before but it’s a great cover for sure. |

| Very much enjoying the interacting they're having on the stairs and roof. Can't say I care much for the other characters yet but it still is just the first episode so they haven't had their time in the spotlight yet. Did laugh at the brick of rice bento. |

| @TheColonel76 I understand that most people probably don't write this out of malice, but when I see people calling every new title "the best in its field" etc., I get a little tired of it. For example, I saw an article this morning that called Live Action Fallout the best video game adaptation in history, implying that any others were significantly worse. |

| @RobertBobert Yeah I get that as well, folks are just excited about a new great show which leads to comments like that, I’m probably guilty of it too, but yeah it can get annoying for sure. |

| @TheColonel76 One time it even went so far that one of ReZero's diehard fans started massively creating critical threads discussing any new overhype fantasy shows because he felt that these anime were "unfairly" stealing attention from "the best ReZero". |

| @RobertBobert Lmao that’s wild, I don’t think ReZero needs any help getting attention but that is definitely going too far |

| @TheColonel76 This is what I'm talking about. Some people increase the level of hype for new shows, while others take it as an objective measurement and try to counter it. |

| leave my boy alone you hopeless wenches |
| Really beautiful show and I have a soft spot for childhood friend tropes (esp when the girl loses cause I get it.) Hopefully they wont go the harem route cause I feel that'd end up making the show feel a bit cliche but it wouldn't really be a deal breaker. |
 Never watched as much anime as I wanted to |
