Holy shit, this is incredible. Another fantastic anime this season, Thursday is looking to be the best day of the week so far!

Love Koizumi's personality, I'm glad that she doesn't do a complete 180 when she's eating ramen to love everything, she stays relatively cold and only really speaks to talk about ramen. I'm sure her personality may change over the course of the anime, but I'm very pleased with what she is now and a slow but steady change will be much more nicely paced.

And holy shit, Yuu's bubbly, yuri personality is so much fun to watch. Her seiyuu is doing an incredible job.

So happy this is a full-length anime, it would be a crime if it were only a short!

Unsure if I'll last the 12 episodes but I will watch next week to see if some kinda story forms, would've worked better as a short 7-12 minute show imo.

What an amazing hodge-podge of terrible ideas. It's bad enough that the main attraction of the show seems to have no character apart from liking ramen, but the stalker MC is even worse. I never thought I'd find a ramen show so bad that "Ramen Fighter Miki" seems not only appealing but desirable by comparison.

Watching this new show feels like I wanna eat Ramen as well!
Koizumi-san is an elite ramen consumer!
Nice OP was sung by Suzuki Minori from the Macross Δ show.
but damn! i was delightfully surprised that the ED was performed by Shiena Nishizawa! that was very awesome!
4/5.

Would definitely work better as a short. I'll give this a bit more time but I have a feeling I'll be dropping this soon enough.


I thought the same, thought it was going to be a short like Wakakozake and Pan de Peace, but I think they'll give some depth to the girls' relationships and stuff. There must be something to the whole isolation/ramen obsession intertwined so I'll be looking forward to it.

YES. I am glad the first episode ended without major developments to her relationship with Yuu. I mean it's obvious they will all end up friends, even Misa and Koizumi, so why rush it and make it fake?

Plus I didn't know this show was sooooooooo gay. I'm glad.

I wonder if there's actually going to be a story or reason for Koizumi being so cold to everyone. Considering how heavily focused the first episode was on the composition of ramen, I have very little faith that there'll be any kind of actual development, but I'll reserve judgement for a couple episodes.

Kind surprise this series become an anime series so fast because my local comic licensors brought the localization of manga to my country 3-4 months ago and i'd read 2 volumes of it.

In terms of adaptation ,it is a perfect and VERY faithful to the manga. Eps 1 adapt 3 chapters of vol 1 faithfully.

In terms of story, yes, yes it is moeblob with ramen's education,maybe really interesting ramen stuff will be told maybe on next 2-3 episode that make you"WTF!? They have something like THAT on Japan???" . Koizumi's voice is exactly the same voices are in as i imagine in my head as i read the manga 2 months ago. And also all the Yuu's stuff and doing will be story dragging as same as the manga.

That was pretty enjoyable for a first episode. Not sure if it'd work out in the long run, though, but guess we'll see.

Koizumi is pretty scary when she gets in serious mode, lol.

She is a lot like Kanbaru from monogatari, I am usually not a fan of gay characters but this sub archetype was nailed extremely well lol, a pretty fun combo.

For those who complaint about slurping, that's the correct way to eat a ramen. Read More about the proper way to eat ramen.



Idk why you even watch this though. It's a show about ramen of course they will eat a lot of ramen...


There are several ways to do a story about lamen. For example: The girls go to a grocery store, purchase the ingredients, make an explanation why it is good for lamen, cook, taste it. This format is too repetitive (order lamen, eat, repeat again the same format, and repeat, and repeat....).

You may think I'm being too harsh, but I can't see myself enduring 12 eps of 20 mins in this format... and I don't judge anime without watch it.


Why do you insist on spelling ramen incorrectly?

And here we have our "Cute-Girls-Do-A-ThinG" GLORIFIED ADVERTISMENT EDITION... And it's... exactly what I expected it to be really. Nothing worth sticking around for really. I'm probably gonna watch the whole thing anyway but if they were going to do an anime about people eating food they should have taken a step further. Go with that Koufuku Graffiti or Food Wars route and go all out.

"Hey, watch are you watching?" "Some show about a stuck-up girl obsessed with ramen being stalked by a dumb girl. I think it's called the 'The Ramen Love Suicides' or something."

The first dish - double pork ramen with garlic oil and vegetables - sounds like ambrosia from heaven.

So 'maayu' is oil from caramelized garlic???

The best part of EP 1 was when Koizumi says to Yuu, "I can’t believe you have survived this long with so little awareness."

Unfortunately, this anime are NOT from YONKOMA manga. Shit, Mal's database must be revised.

The eps 1 is cut into three parts. Ahh good adaptation for each part, always makes me hungry. Then it's really nice when seeing the ramen with full colour rather than black-white in manga.

I don't expect much with this since the plot is always like that.....maybe until few last episode.
And the Rating in mal is "always suck"

My advice : You should drop this anime now if don't like this episode. I already told you

I don't eat authentic ramen very often but I have a few times, so I do find the trivia about them somewhat enjoyable to hear and might come in handy next time I go out to get some.

Though I tabbed away for a bit during one scene and her eating sure as heck sounds naughty with only audio.

Alright a good start. Ramen and more ramen, sure is making me hungry.
Koizumi is quite savage, "no thank you", "you again" xD

Yuu's a pretty lovely character, I like her persistent personality. So far pretty nice episode, i'll be looking forward to this show even if it makes me hungry :)

Dear people! Ramen is not just food! it's a way of life, you can eat ramen with so many textures that it would take over 2 months explaining it all! it's this womans destiny to eat all the ramen flavors in the known galaxy! sit back with your cup of raman and watch this exiting story of a girl who will eat all the ramen in the world and become the ramen QUEEN! of the UNIVERSE!

I came into this with pretty low expectations, but the actual ramen portions were pretty interesting and even educational. I personally love eating ramen and eating alone is perfectly acceptable, so I totally can see it from Koizumi's point of view. I will say that Yuu was kind of annoying this episode with her personality and stalker-ness, but the segments were decently enjoyable to watch. Plus the OP and ED were pretty catchy too. The commercials thing is pretty cool XD

This show is really only for ramen lovers. Anyone who doesn't love ramen won't like this show because if we take ramen out, this falls short on almost everything.

Luckily for me, I love ramen and I love the educational parts, so I'm staying for the long run.

3/5 It was okay. And really, that just sums up my entire thoughts on the show. I am not going to watch it, nothing particularly wrong with it but the characters and interactions are too bland to hold my interest. A shame really, because the synopsis seemed pretty interesting and usually I am a fan of slow moving, daily life scenario kind of anime. I certainly won't "not" recommend it, it just wasn't fun to watch but if you like it I can totally see that happening, it's not a bad show.

I loved the live action series with the beautiful Hayami Akari.
I've never read the manga so I can't judge that. But obviously some themes are shared.

This will likely be closer to the manga than the live action series was, but one thing I noticed was the less realistic reactions in the anime than in the series.

For instance, in the live action, when Yuu orders the double pork in Ramen Jiro, everyone around her is shocked, Koizumi tries to stop her from ordering, even other diners try to stop her, and it was really funny to watch. That extra focus on the little things make the characters incredibly endearing and it showed the human side to Koizumi.

Theres 3x the episodes in the anime than in the drama, so hopefully they will become more fleshed out. I love ramen myself so I can't fault a show about it, even an anime, its light viewing that you don't have to become super-invested in like other anime.

It's a good show, not a 10/10 but its easy watching.

My inner foodie both loves and hates this - loves because it's full of ramen, hates because there's nowhere here in the US to get a good authentic bowl of the stuff for 100 miles.

Koizumi's friend is annoying though.
