I like girls with a few screw loose but Satsuki just seems like a overly teasing type rather than a yandere. There's definitely some reason why she wrekt the garden or it could be that she didn't even do it and was covering for someone/some reason. The glasses guy gives me the creeps though, he seems bad news. Could be that he likes Yukari and doesn't like that she seems to like Naoto. The aunt seems like a fun character, that racoon/ringtail I think it is? too and the imouto's adorable. Good voice casting for the characters as well.

Anyway somewhat interesting premiere which feels like would turn dark or that's the feeling I've been getting from this series. Never ended up reading the manga cause I was waiting for it to end and then it ended with anime announcement, so just waited for the anime to come out. While the animation is like barely there I don't particularly mind since I'm here for the story but obviously good animation would have been better. Theme songs were pretty nice though.

well looks like we have another MC denser than a ball of lead, which is disappointing.

we'll see how hard they go with that and the usual "utmost refusal to talk through things". could be fun, could be a cringefest. only time will tell

Not a good start. The characters are way too generic. Hopefully they flesh them out, otherwise I doubt I'll keep watching

Would it be weird if I said I actually liked the first episode in some strange way?

Hahahahahaha I laughed so much, honestly! I think this anime has some oddly strong potential!

I guess the name really says it all—Watari kun Is About to Collapse.

I also liked the opening and ending. The opening strangely reminded me of *K-On*.

I’m excited for the next episode! See you all next week.

The frames I captured—you're probably thinking they're from the final episode, right? But believe me, they’re just from the first one. 👇

Sigggghh remember seeing this manga on "Hot and popular" section many yeaaaars ago.

Nothing special here so far for me, Satsuki ain't nothing compared to another certain blondie coming along this Summer Season...

Someone do me a favour and spoiler me the ending? Obviously with spoiler tag

Welp I figured there had to be a couple slop anime's this season. Animation is sub par, characters seem to throw themselves at a dull guy. I'll see how long I can watch this, but I guess some people like it. From first episode its a 5 for me.

Huhhh, seems like a bunch of anime cliches thrown together. Dead parents, Siscon, hot blonde childhood friend with no shame (I will assume real blonde and not a garyu since she was a blonde as a kid), big boobed crush who is also crushing, weird Aunt, and a secret from the past he doesn't remember and she's not going to tell so we're left in the dark. This could either stay quirky and insteresting or get boring very quick. I'l give it one or two more episodes.

Oh goodie, another show where in the first episode the male character gets treated to what would be called SA or R@pe if the gender roles were reversed, and then HE was chastised for it, yet this is somehow...comedy? Yay. /sarcasm

Simple rule folks: If it's creepy happening to one gender, it's creepy happening to both genders.

Naaaah 1 episode was enough to make me full on hate this to watch anymore.
Spineless boy who freaks out at every little thing? Check
Little sister who only gets attached/clingy/angry when her bro is just Around a girl? Check (Bonus points for only liking the main girl when the last time they met was like 4 lol)
Perverted girl getting into all kinds of lewd acts and degeneracy just because and never punished? Check
The most perfect girl who's obviously going to get sidelined by main girl? Check
All around cringe behavior on all sides? Check

Faith in crazys women....

a blonde and a harleeen quinzel, but without a joker.

Her kiss is so good that it makes the protagonist faint....

clearly crazy stalker and yandere.

Narcissist?

She probably destroyed the garden because he paid more attention to the garden than to her.

Like many have pointed out, wtf is the deal with the colouring? It feels like the director watched The Kawai Complex (also a terrible anime) and thought, "hey maybe if we have puke rainbow colors everywhere it will look cool". Also why are like 85% of the scenes filled with that stupid blurry filter as if it's supposed to be some dream sequence?

The spineless and dense main protag is also quite a problem, not to mention the forced love triangle (dud is the most bland main character, but somehow one of the hottest girls in school is already quite interested in him, not to mention his creepy stalker childhood friend).

Not even interested in the dumb garden mystery. This is an easy drop since day one.

Decent prologue for a romcom. I don’t know why it’s rated so low when it’s literally just the season premiere, but whatever. That said, from the vibes I got from this episode, it seems like it’s going to be a love triangle between Satsuki, Naoto, and Yukari.

I haven’t seen enough of the characters yet to know who I want to root for, but so far, I’m really liking Satsuki. I love a pushy girl, so I guess I’m rooting for her for now. Yukari’s pretty cute too, but she feels like your typical heroine, which is kind of lame and boring to me.

Each of the two girls has a pro and a con. Satsuki’s pushy personality is her pro, but the garden incident is her con. Yukari, on the other hand, has Naoto’s interest as her pro, but her shyness as her con. So honestly, I have no idea who’s winning Naoto over, haha.

Ok, let me first clear up some things as I see a lot of confused people here.

1st thing: this is not a comedy, far from it. The show is psychological in nature as it handles a LOT of past dramas that have morphed people into what they are now. But it is mostly wholesome (worry not, this will not turn into School Life by the end) so it's a good watch even if we need like 4 or 5 episodes to get there.

2nd thing: MC is far from being a 'average siscon or loser'. His parents died 2 years ago and both of them are still kids, nobody wanted to take them in (it was explained later on why exactly) and on top of all of that Suzu is 10 years old and still needs mom and dad to lead her trough life. So not only is the guy filling roles of both mother and father for his little sister (becasue nobody in family wanted) he needs also to go to school (in which he is constantly barraged by everyone for not wanting to hang out after school or go to clubs) and find part-time job so that he can afford them decent life if nothing else.

While his aunt did take them in she is only offering shelter and a bit of money, most of the time she is not even present. And they do not want to be bother to her as well, so they are doing their best for now.

How can people conclude that he is siscon and loser is beyond me. The guy is under so much pressure that it is amazing how he is handling everything so far. He is uncertain in himself exactly becasue if he makes a mistake it can cost him and his sister dearly, yet despite that he gives it his best. He should be text example on how to write good teenage MC.

Now, how I feel about anime after finishing the manga recently?

Animation is decent, but I can see that they are on budget here. Character models are great IMO, Suzu I think looks better here than she is in manga. And after seeing the kissing scene I think they also saved budget for really important scenes, and we will get a few of them along the road for sure.
Characters are great so far, exactly as they were at the start of the manga.
Only fear I have is rushing. Manga itself is not long (94 chapters in total) but it has a lot of details and smaller scenes. I know that they will cut something to match up the pace (and that seems to be the case as they will go ~8 Chapters on average per episode) I just hope that they do not cut too much.

EDIT: I just saw that this is 26 episode anime and will adapt entire manga. It is a nice news, although I now wonder why all the rush in 1st episode alone? Nevertheless since it is 2 cours and 26 episodes long I expect a decent adaptation. They should not cut too much in that case and characters shoudl go trough full development at a steady pace.

Overall I will give this adaptation a go. I was pleasantly satisfied with the mange by the end and I expect anime to deliver as well. Something akin to Tsumasho we had few months ago.

This will have two cours???? It looks like an anime that needs only 12 episodes.
Episode 1 was kinda fun but this is either going to drag for the next 24 episodes or something refreshing will happen (not sure of the latter point lol).

@oooo3333 I am more than happy with 26, as I remember how they had to butcher Tsumasho manga in order to get everything important for anime's 12 episodes. What they cut was not much but it did expand the characters a lot like visit to wife's parent house, daughter's first date, scenes at school etc...

Hopefully from this they do not need to cut a lot as here they have double the episode number to make it good.

Ngl I went into this almost fully blind so when going in I thought Tachibana was actually Naoto's sister but I suppose I was wrong, I assumed his sister would be a bit older but I guess not.

Idk a very random first episode not in a bad way though, just a kinda random plot. The animation is horrible but idk this might be a interesting plot.

Ah yes our obligatory seasonal slop HS romcom where the side girl is gonna be the best girl and lose because the author has a crush on the FMC, MC is an insufferable loser and siscon, overly reliant on fanservice, casual abuse/stalking, etc etc. We move on from Danjoru to this. Seen one, you’ve seen em all. Not horrible, just doesn’t do anything new and you can already tell how this one’ll go. Mindless entertainment.

Ishihara best girl.

The challenge with this show is gonna be if the author can prevent it from getting stale and give the FMC some redeeming qualities. Most of the gags with Tachibana were tolerable today, but will that be the case 3 months from now? Also casually sexually assaulting the MC in the first episode isn’t usually a way to endear yourself. I am kinda curious how they’ll explain suzu not remembering tachibana destroying the garden and why she did it in the first place. Will have to be a really good reason for me to not hate her.

But from what I’ve seen from people who read this.. I’ll be disappointed.
@Marinate1016 it’s already stale the mc’s entire existence is stale.. as a matter of fact he completely ruins the entire story. A screaming yelling man baby who hates a girl for wrecking a garden when she was what… A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD… 🙄. The only way they could salvage this one is by killing him off. It’s sad too because all the other characters are pretty good. From the scary aunt to the bro loving little sister. He unfortunately is a 16 year old toddler. Pass
