I was about to start reading manga when anime was announced, and i guess i did right thing not starting it.
This kinda failed my expectations, i was expecting moar comedy and random, less moe. I got it backwards though, and i think this was rather average. Still better than K-on after just 1 episode, so i'll continue watching it, for now at least.


Aside from your comments on K-ON, I completely agree. Cuteness is fine and we all love it (haters gonna hate), but it can't be the only thing which makes the show. Anyway, I'll just put it on hold and see what happens later.

Well, I guess it was kind of fun.
But I don't know if I like or dislike Tooru...

Fuck yeah, Lucky Star S2!

You posted on wrong thread...
Nichijou is the 2nd season of Lucky Star...


No, Nichijou is the 'second season' of Azumanga Daioh and/or Pani Poni Dash.


This anime is really cute but not even funny....!
I can say it's on line between boring and average. If you compare this to Nichijou, you're all FAIL...

So much cuteness and moe in one episode. Tooru is the main reason that I'm following this series.
I sense Yuri something weird though.

But Lucky Star was funny, at this one here is not, so I wouldn't say it's anything like that.

LOL someone managed to say something deserved a medal from me.

Well, I admit that Aoi Yuuki did a great again for voicing Tooru without making me notice her sound.

I thought that was a Yuri scene. I thought they were covering it by saying she was tickling her. It turns out I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Pretty funny series thought. It does remind me of Lucky Star and K-On mixed together.

Which makes it FAIL. I liked Lucky Star and K-On, but Aniplex really shouldn't copy KyoAni's work. Not that it's Aniplex's fault, really.
I don't have any kind words to spare to someone who already has all the reason in the world to feel good about himself.

Nichijou seemed way better than this imo.

I do find Tooru kind of creepy.
So basically nothing happened and didn't like nothing-ness in the show. Won't drop it but won't be looking forward to it *sigh*

I got one laugh out of the OVA and first episode of Nichijou.
The rest of it just made me bored. Frankly, the best thing out of those two episodes was the ending song from the OVA. That was heavenly.

A Channel seems to go for K-ON!-like character driven comedy rather than the really random stuff that comes up in Nichijou.
And I just hate characters that have stuff dripping from their nose all the time... like the one in Nichijou...

Pretty bland series from what I can tell so far. Not much happened and the episode was pretty slow, but yeah, that's Slice of Life for you.

On the other hand: I'm not watching a Slice of Life at the moment and the characters are likable, so I'm going to give it a chance.

Funk yeah, I like this show already. I mean, yeah, it's just like every other typical high school centered comedy that's full of ordinary moments with nothing new to offer, or so I thought...
You know, when a girl has a cell phone with a "sizzling meat" ring tone all of a sudden stuff like that almost makes this show pretty damn funny...don't ask me why.

Yes to DOTA.
Kanoka = Kanoka from Maria Holic? If that's the case, then I'll have to clarify my statement. Nosebleeds = OK. Snot and nasal mucous = No, Thank You!

Run = Tsukasa 2.0 = Awesome

Cute first episode. Love the art, it's awesome :3
Pretty funny as well. I really like Nagi and Yuuko, I personally find Tooru quite annoying. Run is all right so far, so ... :P
OP and ED (well, both of them? XD) were both awesome as well
Hope it gets better though, but interesting so far :P

I wasn't expecting much from the MAL summary and from what I've heard other people saying about it on blogs and whatever, but I thought it was an okay episode. Nothing really stood out for me though, maybe because I couldn't help but compare it to other shows while I watched. :b

Not a bad first episode. I hope they don't overuse the boob slap like they did in this episode. Though the way Tooru walks toward Yuuko afterwards is pretty funny.

A Slice of Life where a character (Tooru) feels insecure and even jealous as a result from being away from her best friend (Run) for a whole year is very rare in my eyes. Rarely has a Slice of Life show ever felt so serious to me on the very first episode. (And boy does that sound contradicting. Seriousness in MY Slice of Life?) Of course there were lots of not-so-serious and humourous moments as well which didn't really make me laugh, but brought a smile upon my face. C:

Tooru has really grown on me throughout the episode. She seemed to be feeling somewhat melancholic and lonely due to being one year younger than Run and thus, unable to be in the same class as her. On top of that, she realizes that Run has also made new friends and seemed to believe that she wasn't as important to Run as she was before. However, Run assures Tooru that "nothing has changed" between them implying that Tooru is still just as special as she was before. Soon after, Nagi and Yuuko join in and start hugging Tooru to show how much they also want to be friends with her. It was this scene that completely won me over and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside~

All in all, I loved the first episode and enjoyed every bit of it. As a side note, I felt this was totally different from the other Slice of Life show airing this season, Nichijou. While Nichijou seems to focus primarily on the gags and making its audience laugh, A-channel didn't seem to ONLY go for the humor. (Of course, this is only my impression based on the first episode. This is subject to change.)

Great summary and it did seemed like they were aiming for that tiny bit of serious mood between all the moe. That said, it was a wee too slow paced which is what turned a lot of people off. Hopefully they'll catch their groove soon. Slice of Life tends to take some episodes to truly pick up so I'd say people should give it a 2-3 episodes first, if you're interested in slice of life to begin with. It seems to me most just saw it for the hell of it. I mean, complaining about moe-blobs and slow-pace in a slice-of-life it's like complaining about giant mechas in Gundam, or super-powered main protagonist in action shonen.

Everytime I look at Tooru, I think of Nagato Yuki even though their personalities are entirely different. It must be that hairstyle and cardigan.

Anyway cute anime. Not very entertaining though.
