Except for a few details, this is basically Teasing Master all over again, and I am all for it.

All you need to know about Kubo's feelings is in the straw wrapper. HanaKana has Kubo's cuteness amped up to 11, and I'm here for it! :' )

I almost didn't make it through episode 1. The opening credits art was great, but the song was terrible. Shiraishi-kun is such a horrible loser, I can not respect him. His character is horrible, unwatchable. But then we get to see Kubo Nagisa in her regular clothes, out of her school uniform. What a hottie! Then we are introduced to the older sis Kubo Akina. These Kubo girls are too hot!! Finally, after a generally boring episode, we get beautiful art for the ending credits and another lousy song. Maybe I'm just burned out on the high school rom-com anime, but I don't think I can take this.

After Do It Yourself!! last season, Pine Jam is back with another cute anime. Glad I find a slice of life this season to heal my soul as life goes on.

This anime way more better than I expected, Kubo and Shiraishi relationship is so adorable. Definitely best romance in this season.

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised to see Noto Mamiko listed as one of the seiyuu in the credits! She may have only a minor role as Shiraishi's mom, but it's really cool knowing 3 of my favorite voice actresses are in this series. The other two being Hanazawa Kana and Taketatsu Ayana

Also, I feel him here. Why do anime MCs have such personality-less rooms, though? I guess artists put a lot more effort into girl characters' bedrooms (but well, I guess the point is that this guy specifically is so bland and unremarkable that no one notices him)

Finally a romance anime where the girl is the one who takes the initiative!

An interesting first ep. So we have another episodic iashkei, though this time the female lead begins with pretty obvious and confident feelings for the MC. Why, though, we'll have to find out.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

So it's Takagi-san, but a lot more "in your face" and a more daring MC. For better or for worse. Plus the male MC isn't as timid and abashed as Nishikata. Decent start, but I already know I won't like this as much as Takagi-San, in fact this has the "Takagi san is popular, why don't I do something similar" vibe to it. A lot more nuance and wholesome dynamic in the Takagi/Nishikata relationship. 

Some people will like this more obviously, it seems pacing and development wise, this show will do things quicker (at least that's what I got from the first episode), but the build up in Takagi-san is more of my preference.

Since the mc lacks so much character, will the story eventually explain why kubo cares about the mc and not anyone else? Or is this one of those shows where things happen just for the sake of the story. Also will there be more character development in future episodes for us to understand the mc better?

So basically Kubo-san is just a bothersome woman.

Although the protag being so passive allows her to get away with it.

Love this dude's character design. Two dots for eyes. Guess we can't take away the spotlight from the star of the show now, can we.

So other people can't see him- but they can also see him, sometimes? Am I missing something metaphorical here, or maybe is it like that puberty syndrome thing from bunny girl senpai? I'm assuming it's just meant to be played as a joke: that he's such a background character that people don't just not notice him, they can't see him, I guess.

As for Kubo herself, she's alright. Nothing to write home about yet at least. Since we can't help but compare it to Takagi-san, well, Kubo so far has but a fraction of the charm that Takagi has.

Hearing HanaKana voicing kubo is just so sweet Kubo's face espcially when she pouts is so cute and adorable. 

And both the OP and and ED performed by HanaKana and DIALOGUE+ are cute.

Its is cute. 
Unrealistic for sure Girls do not notice the misfits and sometimes feel creeped by them. Not logical just normally true.
It is possible so people are different of course. 
Of course a misfit is different then a passionate nerd, misfits are much more isolated loners.

T'was a good first episode for me. It's probably gonna work as a side-Anime for some chillin' mood.
The back and forth jabs of the 2 main characters quite work well. I was worried because it's so similar with Takagi-san which already felt redundant and lost me in the middle of its 2nd season. But the "insert-self" male protag of this has more concept than Nishikita.
I do hope they lessen the unnecessary cutesy shots to avoid ruining the fun exchange between the characters.

After DIY, Pine Jam work continue with this one.

Another entry into Takagi-san Teasing series.

Kana Hanazawa is really perfect voicing Kubo.

Kubo gonna be the girl of the season, calling it now.

Damm being edited into a grad photo really is unfortunate. In a class full of people being invisible really has to be the worst. But at least Kubo can see him just fine. Pretty catchy OP with some interesting visuals as well. Thats some web history there lol. The tests to see how visable he is was quite funny. Though as to how the teacher saw him is a true mystery. Its amusing how the rest of the class see's him as somethin akin to a myth. The scene at the shop was funny. Must had scared the clerk though. Not having to be called up in class though is a nice bonus. Overall an adorable opening ep that while doing well in intrducing the main leads also showed the strong chemistry that's between them. Really curious to see where their bond goes.

Not a bad premiere. Unoriginal, as far as the premise goes, but that doesn't mean it's bad. There is a reason why the genre is so popular, after all.

Looking forward to more!

well i'm having mixed feelings for this one. it's definitely cute but most of the time i was wonering what on earth is happening in this anime. the first half was so random lmao. this just seems like a downgrade version of teasing master takagi san.

the second half with kubo and her plan to get his pine info was great lol. smooth.

the dude not getting noticed is so weird lol. don't tell me it's gonna be some seishun disorder or something like bunny girl senpai.

this was decent enough but needs improvement. i was looking forward to this one since the day it was announced and i'm not gonna lie this epsiode didn't fully satisfy me.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.
