One episode in and I am in love with this show already. This is how pilots should look like. The animation is also incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing. I really felt like I was dreaming when I was watching this episode. One of the very few shows this season that I will look forward to every week.

What was Marin really doing that she flew that high as if she's defying the laws of Physics?

Oh shit, i was not expecting this to be so good.. and almost kind of wholesome. Saw all the trash taste memes that she's a total Syd energy so I thought this was going to be like... a vampant hentai review lowkey. but like...wow... that gap moe. (I mean also Syd too tbf).
But Kitagawa has such pretty bubbly energy.


On a sidenote, I wonder how the roles would be different if it was Hina dolls versus figurines.

So happy to see this series animated!
The animation quality and style was so nice. So far I love both mcs so that's good. (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ
I've heard ppl mentioning the manga is wrapped so now I'm curious what they're trying to hide 👀.

I have been midly interested in the manga for Sono since 2020, but never got around to read it, found it interesting at the time, queer.

Having just finished watching episode 1 I think it is safe to say whatever the manga did, the anime version will do it even better IF they keep this quality up, because everything was just right.

I had started reading the manga then, I m sure I would be looking at this adaptation very happy, the VA is good, great for Marin, the animation is fluid and expressive, and the ost also was fitting.

Having seen some of the cosplay that Marin uses in glimpses of the manga... I cant wait for more~~

She is a very likable character, cant wait to see her development with Gojou move forward!

(this is good enough that I will probably go read the manga now cuz waiting weekly will be a PAIN)

Going into this blind, I was prepared for this to be a bit more of a drama, so I'm shocked at the slice-of-life comedy elements. I'm already a huge fan of the MC. He's not meant to be a self-insert or anything -- he's pretty unique looking and has a very niche interest. Hina doll making, wow. There's really an anime for everything, isn't there.

I don't know if it's rotoscoping, or what, but whatever the case, the way these characters move is incredible. A show like this shouldn't require too much expertise when it comes to animation -- since it's not action or anything -- and yet, the way the characters' bodies move is really something else. It's been a while since I've seen such fluidity.

I also like the more realistic flair of the anime. The exaggerated elements are done VERY tastefully, and only to enhance the series. The show doesn't look like it's built on absurdity and normal anime tropes. A departure, something fresh.

Other small things I liked... the "gramps" character. I can't put my finger on it, but there's something VERY "human" about him. I loved all the scenes with him.

I also liked when some guy came out of nowhere and wrapped his arm around the MC. I know the whole point was to show that the MC doesn't have any friends... but wow, so expertly done, they really psyched out the viewer. Like, we're really thinking "oh, I guess the MC DOES have a friend at school" only for it to get super awkward. Loved it. It's always refreshing when you see a new concept in an anime, and I don't think I've ever seen something of that vein before.

And the scene when the chick entered the sewing room and they both just glance at each other. I feel like the scene with the cliche roses was a sort of meta nod to the viewer, like "this is the fateful moment when the two main characters become friends". Like, an acknowledgment of how cheesy and unrealistic this trope in anime can be.

But everything in this episode was QUITE natural, which is why it all works so well. Sure, the "gyaru" is quite an amped-up character, but I think it still meshes well with the world and doesn't stand out. From the get-go, she seemed likeable.

Finally, the ending was awesome. Reading out the full title of that anime and the MC's just like wtf.

Idk. I just liked every aspect of this anime. I don't know how I got here or why I started watching it, but it's just SO well done. I can TOTALLY understand why 3 episodes in, it has a whopping score of 8.3+ on MAL. They're clearly doing something different from this series, but I can't explain how. It just feels fresh.

great start for one of the most anticipated shows of the season. the story seems to be interesting and the animation doesn't disappoint at all. i loved the ed song and visuals so much that I rewatched it up to 3 times. OST is on point and so are the VAs everything sound-wise gives you the happy slice of life vibes. mc is so cute but the unbearable amount of fan service is kinda annoying. we will see how this one turns out

Whoever that girl is, she was not raised properly. lol. I'm expecting character development from her, if by any chance they meet again, I hope she changed.

WOW! You really just need someone who understands and accepts you whoever you are or whatever you do. Marin is so kind, cute and bubbly. Marin is a queen!

*blank stare* "i'm sorry, what?" /end credits

haha, that was easily the best 5 seconds of the whole episode

so, let's be real:

1. it's just weird/sad that he calls that thing beautiful and talks to it like that. i do feel for him for not having any friends though. school can be tough for all of us, but obviously tougher for some than others. kind of surprised he didn't realize the kids were taking advantage of him

2. this girl seems like she has one of those free kind of souls, where she's going to be herself and do her no matter what. and that's a good thing. but she kind of seems a little "much" at the same time, if that makes sense

3. i kind of hope they don't become romantically involved. not that it matters. but it would be cool to see them just become really good friends and help each other learn and grow and whatever else in a platonic way

4. these dolls seem interesting. i'm going to have to google their historical significance

5. why so many "mind the gap" and panty shots?

probably give this a 6/10 for the first episode

I've only started 2 other animes from this season, but this is easily the best out of them. Big fan of the animation, I'll definitely have to check out more animes by this studio.

Gojou and Kitagawa are so different yet they found themselves in the same setting in this show. I think they look really cute together !!

Lovely episode. It feels like the starting of a rom-com and I cant wait for that !!

Omg the OP is really catchy and good and the ED is so cute with the cartoon art style !!!

I started watching it because I loveddd Marin’s design so much. She’s sooo pretty! And I love cosplay so it seemed like it could be fun but I didn’t know she was cute andddd a sweet. I already love her.
I love that she’s pretty, popular and doesn’t hide her love for her favorite character and cosplay.

Pretty interesting approach, I thought this would be more of a simp chasing after a waifu like Rent a gf but it has its differences. Cosplay and dollmaking is an unexpected connection made in this series, looking forward to what the FMC and MC become. The art is really high quality a lot of motion and vibrant color palette, this is already set up for success.

Would it kill Japan to have a slice of life romance with a main character that isn't an effeminate pussy? Jfc. Marin is hot, this is the only saving grace of this extremely generic episode.

I was expecting this to be a waifu bait series, but this looks promising. The directing is different and Gojou doesn't look like or act like a generic MC.

Also, that bit with the Hina doll was funny.

Judging by the first episode this wiill be fun to watch that is for sure.
Here is the music video for the ED.


thx for the video


This anime gets 10 from me from the start :D The art is stunning, the story is to my liking, I love the girl, maybe Marin is my next waifu for the harem :D but I actually started watching because of her ;d I bet there will be many great city artwork when she will be cosplaying somewhere. The ED art is not my style same for the song, but I will get used to it. OP is ok song for first time hearing it and the OP art is very good.


WHEN IS second season? :D

I always tend to be very critical and see things through a microscope when watching something that has a very high average score much like this one. And one thing I noticed is that how come Marin told him to basically stop being a pushover and then made him agree to sew her clothes? I mean yeah she asked very nicely but still. At least ask him to teach you how to sew instead of making him do your work for you. Anyway, let's see where this goes.

It's the most stupid "girl fall on the MC" I've ever saw. She was literally taken by god hand who threw her on the MC.

And it really take all the flags for "fictionnal waifu", literally all her style (clothes, nails, piercings, jewels etc.) would most likely be forbidden in a real japanese school lol

Anyway I understand why people like her, she's a straightforward girl...

Sadly the guy is (yet again) a doormat. Even a HUGE doormat since basically all the story is about "girl teach dude to enjoy his life and assume himself" romance trope.

This was suggested since the beginning of the year by one of my two best friends, but now that italian dub is available (seriously, thank you Crunchyroll for this very welcome first time) and knowing in first person the subject matter of cosplaying (something i still - poorly - do to an extent, including crossdressing as idol anime characters), i couldn't procrastinate any longer.


Poor guy, i'd already like to see him having revenge against a future version of that bratty kid from the first minutes, and then back to present day he's hit by someone who isn't a bully but mistook him for someone else. And even if i never had the same main interest of him and had some actual friends at the same age (as the one who introduced me to this show), i know the "i'm not interesting because of my interests" feeling even too much

Marin Kitagawa immediately answering back to that annoying anime hater with such pride is already a great introduction, and she doubles down when she warns Gojo about not being exploited by their classmates when it comes to classroom cleanings. And then, he really let himself go in critizing her poor attempts of making a costume by herself, it's easy to understand he doesn't do it in a mean-spirited way but luckily she's not oversensitive as too many people today (even if it could have been reasonable on her part to be freaked out)

Nice 80's vibes for both drawings and music for the ending song, now i will think about if binge watching this show or more probably leaving one episode for week on the day off from my job
