| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, the OP song is okay. Somewhat catchy enough. So we got a story about a normal guy who is affected by this syndrome. There's some awkward scenes but I think the main selling point of the show so far is the mixture of bizarness and normlacy. Got some of the other characters introduced already from this episode. Definitely going to have to get used to the way Mai looks in this show lol. Decent start so far. |
 |
| I don't know, the show has good and bad points. The story can be a bit weird, I will wait until the next episode to have a better idea about this anime |
| Not bad. Seems a bit unusual, but nice. Like the subtle mystery vibe and the dry comedy. And Ishikawa Kaito is doing a good job as Azusagawa. |

| Well so far it looks nice read a small part of the manga and it was pretty good to wasn't to surprised when this anime was announced. It's the second title i picked up this season which so far seems a bit lacking but there are still a number of titles coming up. As for the story it makes sense if you follow it. |
| Pretty fine, the show has its unique atmosphere. The main character seems to be quite likable and of course the bunny girl, who's going to be the center of the show. Pretty interesting to see how their relationship will go from this. Poor little sister... I think it's going to be a somewhat enjoyable series. |

| This was as bad as if it was a light novel adaptation, wait it is actually a light novel adaptation, well thats that. Looks like more shitier version of Oregairu and more edgyer version of that clasroom of elite or what was the name, which was bad as much as possible. I mean look: MC - as bland as its get, but with "cool backstory" (he is fighter yeah chicks like that) and Imouto - ofc there must be imouto. |
 |
| well that was decent. while the overall tone of the episode was mediocre, the writing is the opposite. goddamn it has some funny, pointy lines. |
| Interesting start. I like the comedy in this, it's funnier than I thought it would be. |
 |
| Yes yes yes. This has my full attention now. I really liked Oregairu, i feel the same about this episode since it had cool dialogue. Sakuta and Mai are interesting characters, especially Sakuta. How he behaves and responds, it seems like nothing can really touch him. The syndrome is actually a bit creepy to me, i jumped a little when his sister got the cuts. It makes sense why she shuts herself in from other people seeing her short backstory so far. Damn good. |
| Hmm a bunny girl only the mc can see curious. Mai seems to be the wary type that doesn't like people getting close to her. Sakuta and Mai sure have similar personalities and circumstances. The mysterious wounds that appeared on Kaede's body though was quite creepy. Looks like Mai's condition is getting worst. Quite the intriguing first episode that did a good job of introducing the two leads. Looks like it will be school based mixed with mystery. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I'm not familiar with the source material, but I felt like this was somewhat rushed? Their relationship and level of confidence around each other seemed to improve in a matter of seconds. Other than that I liked the MC's and the exploration of the syndrome. Let's see where they take this. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Pretty boring first episode and I hoped for more bunny girl :unamused: Nice bait key pic |
  |
| I feel conflicted. On one hand, this wasn't as painfully average as I expected it to be, and on the other, I can't bring myself to call this episode 'good' or 'satisfying'. However, it did manage to peak my curiosity and I somewhat look forward to seeing the next episode. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Man I feel like a fish out of water right now, that bunny girl bait was too stronk. |
     |
| Somewhat interesting watch. I liked the mysterious odd vibe from the episode and the syndrome actually seems a lot more interesting than what I initially imagined from the synopsis. Sakuta’s and his sister’s case has piqued my curiosity, so I’m looking forward to seeing more explanation on that on a later note. Who would’ve thought the Bunny girl appearance was actually for a relatively fine reason, to some mundane extent? Op seemed catchy enough too, and likewise with the ED that played in the end. Can’t say for sure at the moment, but I’ll probably be keeping up with this show. |

| You should ignore the cover and title of this anime because it's completely unrelated and just a clickbait. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I guess it's to be expected that a show like this has a tedious first episode. Has promise I guess, as long as it doesn't continue to overexplain its premise and concept which was immediately understandable. |
| Looks better than I expected, given that I was expecting a typical LN adaptation. It's somewhat impressive that they drew every passers-by with such distinctive features (yet the CG movement is still awkward.) But the lackluster background art irritates me a bit. |
 |
Unleashed_SM said: That ending... don't tell me this is gonna have a sad ending. That was my first reaction after seeing it, it'd be pretty heavy-handed way of dealing with the matter, maybe creators try to double-cross audience's expectations. |
| Pretty nice first episode. Ngl based on the synopsis and such it seemed like the MC was just gonna be a beta cuck, but I actually enjoy him and his sense of humor. Really liked the OST too. Judging by it seems it's gonna be more of an atmospheric approach rather than a light-hearted rom-com |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Rundown: Pros: - Seems to have a high production value. That's always nice. - Main character isn't quite as cliche as other MCs. He has some witty lines. - The mystery has been established and set up nicely. - Overall, it has a good premise. Cons: - Could do without the scene with the little sister in the beginning. Otherwise though, she's fine. - I feel like we really didn't need to put in 2 additional characters at the very end of the episodes. Could have been saved for Episode 2. - I don't think I heard any background music, at all. Granted, not every scene needs it, but something would be nice. (Maybe there was some, but I just didn't hear it.) - The opening, while not bad, isn't all that memorable. Overall, it seems like a good show. It seems to be aiming for a high school teenage mystery. Reminds me of an (inferior) Hyouka with sci-fi elements. Episode 1: 7.7/10 |

| Another recent anime that I seem to like a lot more than everyone else, haha. I really like the couple's banter, I find it more relatable than something very pun and reference heavy like Bakemonogatari. You can all accuse me of shit taste now, but I mean it. Even if you speak Japanese enough to truly understand all the dialogue in Bakemonogatari, a show that I do enjoy by the way, the fact is that no one really talks like that and it can become a little exhausting, as everyone makes constant verbal detours just for the sake of being witty. Sometimes, I like to enjoy some honest, believable (supernatural plot conceits aside) conversation with a sprinkle of wry humor. |
| Forum sniper of MAL. Accuracy, efficiency. Beware the catgun. |
| And here I thought that this was going to be the trashy fanservice heavy romance of the season, what a miss leading title and trailer. I'm positively surprised great first episode. The only thing I found weird was that no soundtrack caught my attention, it's like the music was non-existent Reminds me of Oregairu, which is one of my favorite of all time |
 |
| Idk why, but I liked it. But to be safe, I'll wait for at least 2-3 more eps |
 |
| The first episode was weird. We have many mysteries to solve: Sakuta's incident, Kaede's wounds and Mai's invisibility. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Solid if unspectacular start. The set up is sort of interesting? Shame that character designs are bland but they seem likable personality wise from what I can tell so far. |
| So basically if I had to demotivate this premiere with in one short phrase, it would be this: The Poor Man's Monogatari series. Rather underwhelming for a start in my eyes. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| First episode was good. I really enjoyed it. It isn't anywhere near perfect, but there is potential here. I like the art too, which is something special for CloverWorks, who butchered Persona 5's art badly. |

But yeah, good shit. It would be nice if the visuals were a bit more interesting considering how dialogue heavy everything is, but I'll roll with it. |
| the story is good enough to keep me watching the op song is too good |
| If this anime is going to be anything like this first episode...holy shit we're in for one hell of a ride. I thought this was one of the strongest first episodes of an anime I have seen in a while. Holy crap I really enjoyed it from beginning to end. The opening was really catchy and if that was the ending theme playing and not an insert song...<333 Jeeze Amazing. I am really intrigued by Sakuta and how he got them Scars. It started off with a SNAFU feel (thanks Brain base) and even had the little sister as well, but once they showed what happened to the sister and whats going on with Mai...damn man this show is goign to get deep and I am on board. |

| Wow. It was pretty good. So far I'm really liking the MC's personality. Other characters seems interesting too. Animation was nice and the musics are well suited for this show. I'll be expecting great things. |
 |
| watched this by curiosity. Had already heard about it from anitubers. Seen the first episode i think this could turn out good. It has a good vibe and slight mystery for a romcom. Animation was good except the 3D background characters, they thought no one would notice. |
| This was a really good first episode. The mystery of the Puberty Syndrome intrigued me a lot and I want to know more. EDIT: Changed my opinion of the OP. The OP's now stuck in my head... Really liking it now~ Can't talk about ED since I haven't seen or heard more of it. Sakuta is quite a fun MC. He's already making me laugh with his words and actions. I really like his interactions with Mai, to the point that it didn't went stale. Mai is quite an interesting character. Though I need to watch more episodes so I can have a full understanding of her. Who is this 'Shoko' people keep mentioning to Sakuta? Have to wait for the next episode then. I heard about the bruises the little sister had because of the syndrome from fans who have read the LN but I didn't know it was that bad. I feel bad for her. I didn't expect Sakuta to have it as well. People not being able to see Mai saddens me. Especially the fact that she can't buy any food because of it. So glad Sakuta went ahead and bought food for her. So called the 'bunny girl outfit appearing in one scene only'. I mean, this is more of a 'Comedy, School, Romance, Mystery' kind of thing anyway. Sorry, ecchi fans~ Definitely going to watch this till the end. Hope this and the movie won't disappoint me~ EDIT: Favorite scene of the episode has to be when Mai is poking on Sakuta's scar and he felt erotic, to the point where she starts pinching him really hard~! |

 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| Decent start, and honestly one of the shows I've been looking forward to this season. Hopefully it won't disappoint, since the source material itself is pretty interesting and intriguing. |
  |
| That was pretty good. Both main characters not freaking out with over the top reactions is a nice breath of fresh air in a high school romance story. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| The look and feel of the show gave me Oregairu vibes but with a twist of supernatural aspects added in and I loved it The two leads were great, his two friends are likable and the little sister is pretty cute....This whole Adolescence Syndrome thing is kinda weird but its weird in a good way, and I'm super intrigued to see where they take this phenomenon Great first episode (Also, I'm shipping our two leads so hard lol) |
