Ugh, Akane just keeps talking and talking. I can barely stand her..but anyways, full episode is out now. Well, she survived. That's kinda obvious. I doubt they would kill off a main character in the beginning. Still, her flag remains and is suffering.

Dat kiss though.

A full episode, finally. I'm glad Akane survived from that fall. That''s kiss between Sota and Akane was cute.

I'd really been looking forward to this show... but just watching the 15 minute pre-air I'm not exactly thrilled by the level of "quality" I'm seeing.

Perhaps the lack of groups picking this up will be a blessing in disguise.

Two different versions out: one pre-release 15 minutes (perhaps with troll subs) and the regular length version

Note that the regular version seems to be of higher quality and contains much better continuity (they'd chopped bits of scenes out prior to the abrupt cliffhanger in the pre-release).

The complete episode is better, but boy--this is moe to the max... I don't mind the mc, he showed some quick thinking in a crisis moment although it ends up getting him in perhaps a little more hot-water than he bargained for. But Akane, if she's going to make that little wheezy noise every time she tries to catch up I may go berserk...

I'll keep watching until I get bored or diabetes...

Wouldn't kissing/confessing love during a dying in arms scene make the death flag worse in the world of story cliches? Eh, I'll keep watching.

Cleaner animation and better subs since the pre-air :D

So much damned better then the pre-air, it really shows how much a good cleaning can fix things up.

Lol at the Sleeping Beauty/Conquered flag ;) A rule in flagging if you can't break it replace it!

Misfortune flag?

It's kind of funny how the new footage only lasted about 2 mins (excluding ED and preview).

Wow.. I thought it was going to be like NouCome but this seems a bit more serious.

The first half was rather bland imo but it was funny how multiple flags sprouted from Akane's head. Also that "Conquered" flag lol...

I like how the romance started in full throttle from the get go. This one episode accomplishes more than what the 2nd season of Chuunibyou accomplished in 12 episodes.

Seems like it will turn to a harem though. Let's just hope the MC has enough balls to choose one of them.

A little disappointing so far (I made my hopes too high), but still enjoyable. Also, can someone tell me what scenes and where they were added prior to the cliffhanger of the pre-air version because I just skipped to the part where the pre-air left off.

I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, it's not exactly grade A material but I was only shooting for NouKome level but so far I'm enjoying this a lot more. I just hope it'll have a concrete ending rather than the inoffensive harem end.

@kickmesign I suppose the sleeping princess flag is stronger because of the well known fairy tale origin or something. I was thinking the same thing though.

Can someone tell me what type of development I'm suppose to follow here?!?
If you ask me, the art was a bit off, but I'm sure I'll manage...
5 minutes in, and we already see a direct confrontation and explanation of how the MC's "power" works, in which, Nanami completely laughs it off, and a minute or two later; believes him..What lead up to this?!?
Also, anyone else realize he pulled up that newspaper about the boat incident out of thin air?!? and never really explained it?!? Wtf?!?

TBH I wasn't drawn in to the story or characters in here, but I think I still find it enjoyable nevertheless. Just hope that the story could get some improvements.

The flag things I kind of have a little issue with, but I'll soon learned it later on. The kiss was unexpected to get rid of the death flag.

Yeah, Akane's moe voice is a bit much but it shouldn't be a problem when the other girls start coming into the picture.

It feels like a mix between Noucome and TWGOK, at the moment it seems it'll be a decent harem but with nothing special.

In just one episode we learned about Nanami's background and Akane got "conquered." Is it really supposed to move this fast?

Akane's voice was a bit painful to listen to. I was annoyed. Then I looked at the cast and what...Kayano Ai? Is that for real? That must be a mistake >__<

She sits in front guys! Kinda interesting, reminds me of NouKome. The explanation part felt slightly rushed. Also reminds me of another anime of this season "Isshunkan Friends"

The pacing... it's too fast! It's like they are butchering everything. Such a shame, I see the potential of an awesome anime in this :/ Akane talks too much, my ears! I mean, it was 3-4 episodes worth of material put into one episode, super rushed.

How can a death flag change into love? What has love anything to do with 'death'? Sure, love can ease pain but seriously, it can't bring a person back to life if that person's death is already settled. I wanted something more solid.

Seriously, this is my type of series, but the way it is (most rushed anime I've ever watched from ones I can remember)... Such a shame.

7/10

Some might find charm in its fast pacing coz the pacing is too fast, it's at the speed of light.

After checking the ending song, I know the reason of it's pacing... So many girls.

1. Wasn't expecting any serious vibes seeing that it's a romantic comedy. Completely caught off guard. Very interesting.

2. Flags are interesting as well. People's intentions can be seen

3. Loved the somber moments w/ the epic OST. For an anime that looks completely comedy-like & void of emotion, I'm very impressed

Wow they really messed with the arrangement of the manga and it moved at breakneck speed for reasons i can no understand. Firstly they cut out another character introduction which i could understand at first since i thought they were saving her for later so they could introduce those 2 already properly, but nope they just skipped all the way to chapter 5 and did the first major event in the first episode for so very strange reason. The not yet introduced character was also meant to visit the room with them and that death flag scene like i said was not meant to happen till chapter 5 after many other events had happened and yet another main character of the group had been introduced (on top of the one i mentioned earlier).

I really can not tell you why they rushed to get to this point and ruined the flow of the story i do not know if this is how the light novel (source material) did it but it was not how it was in the manga and with all honesty the manga did the start much better this was just rushed and you felt less than zero towards it while being left with a wtf already? feeling.

Basically so many things were cut out and this was rearranged in the worst way i could think of.

Dat Akane >.< She's so damn adorable <3<3 I'm loving her a lot :3

The kiss was awesome and her reaction was so kawaiiii <3<3<3

Souta is quite the good male lead, kissing her right away and conquering her like that XD

The way he broke flags at the start with "I'm already popular" and "I'm a sadist" XD

Well, +1 conquered! From the ED it seems like he'll be conquering quite a lot of girls. Dat huge harem O_O

This is like Noucome but instead of Erabe it's flags XD Lol Idea XD

And Dat Death flag at the end XD

Loved ALL DEM THIGHS IN THE ED *A*

Also, a kiss? in the first ep no less? No chuuitus interruptus?

I think the episode was entertaining. I was wondering whether the shortened pre-air was the reason of my negative first impression, and looks like the scenes they cut definitely did have such an effect. Therefore, I enjoyed the full episode much more.

For a light-hearted harem comedy, it's off to a rather serious start. Yeah, the concept is hilarious, but Nanami's past doesn't seem to be the happiest, and neither is Akane's. Souta is a boy of misfortune himself. Not to mention the multiple death flags in one episode.

Interesting first ep. Didn't expect Souta to be the transfer student.

Woah a kiss in the first ep. Surprised he kissed her to overcome that death flag, was expecting something along the lines of a confession.
Haha a conquered flag! This feels like a cross between Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai and NouCome... but that's just my opinion.

Man... people get the death flag way too easily.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Whoa, that was interesting!^^ Sounds so original too. Seeing flags on people hahaha.
I wonder how Souta new the EXACT words to break the flags xD
Like where he was like "I'm popular with girls, so there's no need" and "I'm an extreme sadist"
Like, he broke both their flags xD hahaha.
Well now you just made Akane like you now, Souta..

So from what I can tell this anime seems to be jumping back and forth from the manga chapters... Starts at chapter 1 jumps ahead past chapter 3 and jumps back to chapter 1 next episode to introduce characters which were supposed to be introduce before... meh I don't mind. I'll watch it and read the manga at the same time anyway.

First half was kind of meh and I was considering dropping because the characters were annoying, but the end saved itself. It was kind of rushed but it was just an introduction episode, hopefully there'll be better developed stories from now on. This show has the potential to be interesting.

Also, I'm not really fond of the art. I don't really like the school uniforms with the mismatched skirt and the characters look like plastic dolls.

Akane trying to eat lunch with Nanami and Souta but each time she got rejected LOL. I like her cheerful personality but she talks way too much. Nanami has an interesting character so it'll be fun to watch a tsundere poet.

Souta's house is like a ticking time bomb. At any moment that house can collapse and crush him and that brought me to this point. Why did Souta have a Death Flag when he looked int he mirror towards the end of the episode when he was washing his face?
