Nothing too special, but it looks to be a fun time nonetheless. Another anime this season that would probably be best enjoyed by relaxing to after a long day's work.

man i wish they had given this to another studio, it's so bland and stiff.  i think doga kobo would have been a great fit, or silver link.

Covering most of the first 4 Chapters, it's disappointing that they cut-out a lot of the hilarious scenes of build-up to Tomo is treated like a guy, or one with Misuzu's inner dialogue, or Tanabe's post-discussion of Misuzu, and a few other quick scenes. 

The direction of effects isn't always perfect, and the angles and overall atmosphere/tempo don't feel like the best, 
but at least the cast is very good. They're not exactly what I imagined, but they fit great even though I didn't have a strong impression from the teaser. 
Only Misaki I don't love just yet. Carole even less, but we'll see. I love Chiyomi and Naoko's voices though.

Glad this manga has an anime now.

This was a lot better than expected (I haven't read the manga so don't come at me). So far the characters are likeable and I really feel Tomo's struggle. Jun is one dense mf, though I can't imagine it's easy to erase the childhood friend image of someone.
I want to see more of Gundou. She's interesting.

So this series is pretty awful. The person who wrote it does not understand a lot of things... I stopped watching when the guy was hit like a ragdol (in real life his neck would most likely break and die). The girl is extremely violent and not in the way of Taiga. Is just violent. Also there is no point changing the language when for some reason you have such a low pitched voice. What you need is some estrogen. 
It's just borderline okayish. I've been trying to deal with it and hoping it would get better. If it doesn't get better, I'm dropping it by the 4th episode. Feel bad for the poor guy getting hit without even knowing why he's treated like a ragdoll yet apologizes afterwards. They went too overboard with the violence part. And for ppl saying, he doesn't treat her like a girl. He treats her like a friend. Just how you'd treat a friend. You don't treat friends differently whether they're the same or different gender. And friends (even with the opposite gender friends) usually say "I love you" without hesitation and joke about them. She should have mentioned that she loves him in a romantic or sexual way when she confessed. I don't know if this anime is relatable at all but if anyone's got a female friend, I'd think they can understand what I'm trying to say (unless you have a crush on your female friend). If he really didn't treat her like a girl, he'd have been dense enough to not notice her getting groped. And instead he got a punch when he said her not to wear skirts out of concern for her. Reverse the gender & it would have been one hell of an anime.

1. In japanesse the word for romantic love is different. I am not sure if she used ski or koi. Considering she uses ore apparently though...
2. it depends on the age they meet after an age women do not have friends anymore. Men after puberty see them as potential parteners and other women as competition.
3. as previously said if you are childhood friends may be hard to see the other as a partner and not as a sibling. And her emulating a guy does not help
4. not sure if reversing the gender would work. No matter how great a guy at that age they get a lot of rejections and no one bats an eye. If you remember in Toradora the guy she had a crush on originally had a crush on her got rejected and had to move on.

It really feels like a light hearted show showing transgender struggle to find himself. I really hope show will explore Tomo inner thoughts about being a man and maybe his lover acceptence of Tomo being a guy.
Is this has manga adaptation? Does Tomo go through the gender change surgery and stuff? I know it is unlikely, but I'd love if anime adapted to modern views of the world and accepted transgender people as they are.
It would be lovely if Tomo was accepted as a guy as her inner self is, and even has romance.
Japan and anime really need to explore that side of world too. First episode was a bit of sad knowing Tomo feelings and seeing her forcing to become someone she isn't.

Mate you are looking at the wrong show if you want trans representation. I have read the entire manga and Tomo is a straight girl during the entirety of it. You will be very disappointed if you are looking for any sort of trans representation in this work.
if they stay faithful to the manga. the anime seems to want that direction.

I'm quite fond of Misuzu's character. lmao
Her VA made her quite fun to watch as well.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I didn't know Rieri(Emilia/Megumin/Mash/Takagi) can voiced a boyish girl, I loved it ε٩(๑> ₃ <)۶з

I think Jun knows but prefer to not to treat Tomo like a girl because he's not used to, or he actually starting to have feelings for her and its making him embarrassed to tell her. C'mon Jun confess ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ

Gundo the love matchmaker, if Tomo can physically beat someone up, Gundo can mentally beat someone up. ψ(`∇´)ψ She felt like someone who'll do "Its all according to plan".

Great start for the anime. Characters all have personalities that mix well together for great comedy. It subverts some tropes while retaining many tired ones of the rom com genre. Can't wait to wait to watch more!

Waited quite some time for this, loved the Manga, and after watching this first episode they carried over the feeling of the characters perfectly.

Also totally love the choice of VAs here, fits Tomo perfectly and Jun as well.

Can't wait to get into the shenanigans of Gundou.

So hyped!

Rie Takahashi doing a tomboy voice yesssss.
Jun grossly misinterpreted Tomo's words (reminds me of Sakura's misinterpreted confession with Nozaki).
Tomo wants to be seen as a girl but is all nervous when Jun does or Misuzu forces her to.
Misaki's fangirls picked the wrong girl to have a go at. Aww man, I wanted to see Tomo given them a beatdown.

A good episode to kick the show off, so many characters introduced in a way that doesn't seem too much or irrelevant to the story.
Also somehow, I'm rooting for Jun and Misuzu :D Tomo-chan can find someone who actually gets her...

This was a complete surprise for me! I went in with no description, just the title, and I was worried it would be cliché and boring. Right from episode one Tomo-chan has been heartwarming, funny, sweet, and oddly relatable. I was pleasantly surprised and looking forward to more.

This episode was just fine. There aren't really any gimmicks or plot points that have me interested. I'll do the 3 episode rule, but if it does not gain my interest, I will drop it. I am not saying I dislike it, it's just not interesting. The art style is cool though.

That ep was really lighthearted and fun!

I completely forgot about the beginning chapters of Tomo-chan so it was like I was watching the story all over again ^^. I wonder if they are going to cut any scenes out just for the sake of time. It'll be interesting to see which ones they cut out if they do end up doing so! Also the va's all match the characters well and are how I pictured them to sound like which was cool xD. Overall great first ep and excited for more scenes to come!૮・ᵔ・ა

That was really something... I have to rate it a 5/5 episode, personally I really enjoyed this episode.
I am really fond of Gundou, she seems really inrestering!
Of course, Tomo-chan is really great too, just did not like Jun much but other than that awesome, I am really looking forward for this anime :)

Good art, excellent and attractive character designs, very simple premise, but filled with character and charm. I can see that this show has a lot of potential, but seems to be a bit more interested in the ecchi side of things than I would like. I hope to learn more about Jun's motivations for being so buddy buddy with Tomo, and why he doesn't treat her like a girl. I also hope that there will be more plot development, showing character growth, and relationship progress, instead of rivals and complications like most rom-coms get. A good first episode. This show is definitely a fatuous justification for ogling a tall redhead with a nice body wearing gym shorts under a short skirt, but the characters are so lovable that the focus on Tomo's "feminine physical traits" can be forgiven. I personally also love Gundo; the unapproachable villanous introvert with a hime-cut is more interesting than any other characters in the show so far.
