----------------------------------------
Lol, Utaha taking all the attention at school. Finally, the introduction episode. I still find Eiri a bit annoying with her voice and all those awkward blushes. The episode also introduces the game gimmicks which is part of the show's themes.

I found her and Aki's conversation to be more fun to watch than Eri's anyways. Pretty generic for a start but given the prequel, this was an actual proper introduction imo.

And that's the REAL start of this series.

I know people are going to start the shipping wars, but this is one of those few series where I like all the main heroines.

They definitely shoulda kept this as the first episode. Last week shoulda aired either in the middle or as an extra episode at the end to avoid confusion. Anyway a fairly standard introduction episode. I'm not sure if acknowledging his idea as cliche makes it okay for the show to use it, but oh well. Also it seems pretty blatantly obvious that IF he ends up with any of them(that IF is the real question) it'll be Kato. Personally I've taken a liking towards Eriri but it seems like her role is gonna be simply to bicker with Kasumigaoka throughout. She'll be the Ryoko to her Ayeka or vice versa if i had to guess.

Liked the Amagi Brilliant Park reference near the beginning.

Don't think they can fit 7 volumes in 11 episodes ;/ Sorry. The way things are it is either Kato or Eriri. Both are amazin. But Eriri is like 1000000x times more attractive so that is a bonus.

Yeah I figured there was probably several references in that scene but it and Oreimo were the only two I really caught on first viewing. If I went back and did a freeze frame I likely woulda noticed several of the others you mention.

Sorry, but I like all the girls. If you dislike her , then do. But don't go around telling what is shit. You aren't the one to decide. At least she isn't Taiga/Louise bitches. Or those really shitty tsunderes. And I don't always get why tsunderes are always the most attractive.

Good tsunderes are rare (Rin, Asuka, Chitoge).

That room of his is full of win! xD

Eriri being such an illustrator lol, Tomoya's passion was fun to watch! The meeting with Megumi is pretty "classical".

Utaha being direct was pretty funny too, Tomoya's talent is a force to be reckoned with xD

Eriri showing her tsun side with Utaha there! A fun pair to see how the two interacts.

The girl of his dreams, that was a fun first episode!

But the characters are all characters ive seen in other shows... they look the FREAKING SAME. Id list them all out. But for the fucking life of me i can't spell their names or the shows they are from.
Also, ive never had a favorite voice actor before. But as of today, its this MC's Voice actor. Hes voiced all my favorite dudes!

I'm sorry but add Chitoge in with louise and remove taiga and we're good cause Chitoge is one annoying ass tsun.

Once again, I cannot decide on which girl I like best because they're all so great in their own way TwT

And dem references loooool, Tomoya is a fan of SAO, AmaBuri and I think Date A Live xDD

I don't see how it's possible for me to look at either of the first two episodes of this show and say it's particularly good. What are people noticing about the art in particular that is so great? It seems like pretty standard stuff to me, not bad or low budget, but nothing great that leaps out to me in any way. 3DCGI pantyhose and leg crossing is also kind of weird and hard not to notice. One thing I found kind of ironically funny though is that the MC is talking about how 3D girls suck and then in the next scene the girls walking along in the background in the hallway are clearly 3DCGI models. Other than that everything else about it feels as cliche and phoned in as humanly possible from the character types right down to their dialogue. Just very average harem fare.

Anyway if any show impressed me with it's art and visuals with their premieres it was Yoru no Yatterman and Death Parade. Must be operating on a different standard from other people again as to what top notch art/animation quality looks like.

If you think that Taiga is less tsun than Chitoge you are wrong. And the fact that I've read the manga could be a thing too. :P Chitoge isn't tsun. Only dere.

I realized only now that the MC is voiced by the same seiyuu as all those popular shows: SAO, Trinity Seven and NGNL.
Meh, pretty boring episode. It doesn't seem to be connected with the episode 0 at all.But the art is really nice and some shots were hot.
Where's my best girl Michiru?
These girls are like a rip-off from Grisaia. Both their looks and characters. Eriri -> Michiru, the black girl -> Yumiko.

My dream that he will end upp with Eiri is as good as lost. Just watching the intro and the show it´s obvious what girl he´s going with (if there will be one).

Like the show but romance plot is boring when you see the answer the first episode. The only show that fooled me is mashiro iro symphony.
