| I'm on the same boat as you guys... I'm 5 episodes in and I haven't seen anything remotely interesting in the story except for Tooru. I felt more connected to his character than the male MC. Hori and Miyamura's secrets were the most disappointing part of this anime. I thought it'd be something serious but it's just a big sister doing chores at home and a guy with tattoos and piercings. Kinda stretching it out for a supposed "secret" Their romance also feels rushed. I didn't feel anything when Hori and Miyamura got together. I was just like "Ehhh... sure. I guess it's cool you got together." |

kronopy said: #Insert obligatory ''Is it just me or is this overrated'' thread ... sigh ... this site is full of sophisticated 12yo's ... I honestly don't see anything wrong with these kind of threads... It does bring some discussion to the table. Plus, it's not like people are being forced to read these. you can just ignore it if you don't want it. |

| Agree, the beginning was good but now I got bored of it, nothing special just like other romance-comedy anime. Yeah, still enjoyable I think. |

| It's a decent enough series, but one with a load of glaring flaws on a directorial level alone (most notably the breakneck pacing and barely-present scene transitions). Even though I wouldn't personally rate it so high myself, I could easily understand it sitting at a mid-to-high 7 based on how MAL's ratings typically work out. But over 8.5? For this? Seriously? One of the big things I see people praise about this series is the main couple quickly getting together, rather than dragging out the confession like a lot of romcoms do. Now, I wouldn't disagree about that approach being frustrating, but you can't just praise a show because other shows in its genre do something badly; the fact that this is such a common praise does serve as an indictment on the state of anime romcoms, however. That point becomes especially true when this show's approach of taking the other extreme - of having the confession happen very quickly - leads to a relationship that is hollow and hard to invest in because the show hasn't presented Hori and Miyamura together enough to make it work properly (and this then circles back into the aforementioned pacing issues this series has, which exacerbate these problems of rushed relationship development). It also doesn't help that I haven't found this show funny once so far, and instead find its oddly casual use of physical violence for comedic effort to be somewhat disconcerting. In particular, Hori is so casual about kicking her father, throwing books at Miyamura and otherwise acting like the 100% stereotypical anime tsundere. On that note, I have to laugh at the notion that these characters are in any way realistic. At the very least, in Hori's case the show has given Hori her strange domestic situation and enhanced her dere traits as appropriate to try and hide the fact that she's just a stereotypical anime tsundere with zero depth or realism whatsoever. It's not all bad, as there was one episode I've genuinely enjoyed thus far (episode 4, I think it was), but there's a lot of problems that make me confused about why this show and its source material are rated so high. Equally, though, I do think there's a bit of hype backlash at play in terms of how I'm viewing this show: expecting something special out of "the most watched romcom premiere in MAL history", not getting that and instead being more vigilant to issues than I probably would be in normal circumstances. |
| Agreed. The pacing of the anime since episode 1 felt too fast. Nothing interesting about the side characters. I think Hori and Miyamura are to soon to start dating. The jokes of misunderstanding are used quite frequent can be repetitive. The characters are also lack depth most of the time and appear comedic too much. There is one good thing from this show. It is the quality of the animation that looks clean consistently. Other than that pretty much average roncom. |
  |
| It's not controversial at all, I can't believe this 6/10 series is at 8.59 right now lmao... Must be the clown manga readers inflating the score. |
| Its overhyped as fuck. There is no way this deserves 8.5. Its a very basic romance anime with a very basic and barebones cast and the MC's past is simply there as a gimmick |
 |
| Everyone who REALLY likes this show is gonna say, "Of course it's not overrated. It's amazing!" On the other hand, people who feel pretty meh/dislike it will agree with you. I think the issue with this show is that the manga fanbase is quite large, and those people probably gave it high scores because they KNOW that they'll like it. Shows trend down typically for this exact reason. We'll have to see where this stabilizes after the show ends. I think the score is pretty high now, especially if you consider the fact that manga scores are typically much higher than anime scores. However, you never know how some of these blockbuster shows are gonna fare with the anime-only crowd. |

| Overhyped no, I mean I had no idea that this was coming out until just a couple weeks before it started airing. Apparently it was always a super popular manga for a long time with a loyal following. So you can't blame them when their favorite manga finally gets a real adaptation! There was that other one a few years ago but that's just you know, whatever. And it's just a fun, light-hearted high school romance, if that's not what you were looking for, too bad then? Objectively speaking then yeah it basically isn't anything special. But there's really nothing to complain about either other than possibly the pacing which may have been to quick due to skipping some manga scenes. Other than that, it only has a high score because well, because people like it I guess. This is one that really, really comes down to personal taste; and in my case, I'm loving it so much. |

| a lot of watchers are manga readers like me so ofc it's gonna get hyped, as it is one of the most popular manga here in MAL, heck it's one of the most popular romance manga of all time. So far, I think cloverworks has done an amazing adaptation. Fairly enough, I can see why people would think this as average for me it is an amazing romcom with amazing and entertaining characters.. It's also my stress reliever |

It's definitely the manga readers. I heard that they skipped much content from the manga. Stuff important for fleshing out the characters. No wonder it feels hollow and rushed. |

Kogaweebs123 said: am i the only one think that this anime is a bit overhyped? honestly, i just dont get the appeal of it, its like your average school romance that you see for 100 times, again this is only 4 episode so i am pretty sure i havent get to the good stuff yet. but looking at first 4 episode alone doesnt seems appealing to me. I understand your point, but I disagree. |
 |
| Nothing wrong with just a basic romance, it doesn't have to be "interesting" to be good. More often than not this involves overly dramatic plots just to make things less boring which could turn out simply stupid. Even here I don't appreciate how Hori is so short-tempered at times making up a problem out of nowhere. It's nice to have something more relaxing sometimes, where people act like actual people and actually talk to each other instead of chewing on their own thoughts for half the season. |
  |
| i mean the story is pretty simple, tbh it feels so realistic in more ways than one. the story feels like a story u'd get in highschool (which it is). no complicated plot points, story and etc just (imo) good characters and chemistry from all the character interactions |
 |
| Same thoughts here. I haven't read the manga but the 7th episode felt too random and rushed! Rushed like school starts at 8 and you wake up at 7:45 kind of rushed! It feels like a promo for the source material with no planned 2nd season and shit. I'd say, too fast development is WORSE than slow development. Don't see anything special in this anime worthy of top 100 to be honest (don't know if manga is better), apart from good animation/drawings. As for the characters, Yoshikawa is probably the only one who still interests me the most - after ep7 that is. Probably because she wasn't developed yet lol, but maybe also because of her nature. Don't know if I should stick around simply because of her though. Thinking about other characters, I don't think I care about any of them for some reason lol. |
| Very overhyped lol. I am guessing that Spy x Family will spit out a similar reaction. |
| I find it really odd people rate other romance shows over this one especially ones where the romance never goes anywhere or is totally purile. Take love is war for example, it's a much better comedy but better romance? Not a chance. I cant stand shows where the two leads dither around for 12 episodes and we never get past blushing or handholding. You can claim Horimiya is overrated but so are alot of anime romance shows. |
| Personal opinion here. But yeh, I think it is not really as much as people are pointing it out to be. Is a much less "drama focus" show, and is overall a nice and happy story. But I usually prefer some drama on my romcom's and so ... Additionally,I can't really relate that much to the character's |
 |
| 7 episodes in, and I think this series is definitely overrated. The characters are good, the story is okay, but that's all there are to it. There's nothing exceptional about it and the pacing of the anime is absolutely terrible where in one episode you can have two to three different segments that don't relate to one another with different atmosphere and theme. Like the latest ep7, it has the 3 different themes in it; love triangle (sorta), yearning, and sex. These 3 segments completely differ from one another, especially the first segment transition into the second one where things just felt left hanging. There's no continuation to what was happening in the next segment and it feels very jarring. I think it could be done better, like how Dragon's Maid was done by KyoAni where they rearranged the story flow. TLDR- it's okay, not THAT great, definitely overrated, but better than a lot of other romcom. |
