| Pretty good music it had. |

| Whoa, Jun Fukuyama = Gauche? *spazzes* |
reckoner, forget about your house of cars. | me love radiohead -> art by kaninnvven @ dA |
| It was unexpectedly a nice episode. |
 |
| Really liked the OP and Gauche (Fukuyama jun <3). The episode as a whole wasn't that good and i find Lag annoying. Hoping it gets better :) |
 |
| I've been excited to see this animated for some time now. Definitely enjoyed it, but it was pretty weird seeing everything in color. The mangaka tends to use black and white to his advantage. |

| the manga is great and the sotry is cool, but now that we have fuyama yun on this anime (at least while he is the main character) this is oin to be a master piece so glad i read the one-shot of the shonenJ long ago |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Hmm, this reminded me of Shigofumi with the whole delivering letters thing. Lag bothers me for some reason and the whole episode was pretty boring. Dropped, unless I hear something fantastic about it later. |
     |
| This show looks like it has potential but the first episode was quite boring. I'm gonna drop this and marathon it later if I hear it's good. |
| That was awesome, looking forward to this since the OVA. |
 |
| pretty good beginning, sad, and yet it set up everything, explaining the important parts, things we need to know off the bat |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Lots of technical background explained already while lots of character background/memories are up for questioning. A great start, but I'm surprised the show is starting where Lag is yet a Letter Bee. It seems it would take them a while to get to where the OVA timeline started and they only have 13 episodes. I am very interested in how/when Lag meets Niche though, so hopefully the next episode finishes off on them at least having reach the Amberground. The music and animation are great but not exactly when together. The OP looks good but I didn't think the song fit too well with the animation there. I like the ED song, not so much its animation. |
 |
| I really like this first ep. I like the character designs. What really got me though was that they can actually make a show about the life and duty of a postal worker and still make it interesting ^^ but then again their not normal are they? Freakin Genius Loving the dog/dingo thingy also ^_^ |

| Whoaa now that was sweet! Get the background of two main lead early in the series, i hope i can see Aria x Gauche relationship early too.. I hope it not have sad ending, from the ending theme song it flagged that way.. Definitely my MUST watch anime..hooked up |
 |
| will have to watch more to see if i really like it but this episode was pretty good and pretty interesting :) the animation was nice and well episode 2 will determine if i keep watching this series or not :) |
 |
| I'm not sure if I saw the OVA or the 1st episode... I saw that one: http://www.zomganime.com/letter-bee-episode-1/ which one is it? and where can I find the other one subbed? |
  |
| I know its the beginning and all but i kind of miss Niche :'( And i seriously love the OP 5th time listening to it and i just finished the episode! |
| Wow, this was actually quite good especially compared to the other anime that have aired so far this season. This is the only one so far that I have some confidence in. |

llamaben said: Anyway, onto the actual first episode... I liked it much better then the OVA. The story is only starting, yet the setting been set strongly. Still reminds me of a softer version of D. Gray man. The background animation was done well. Op music was very nice, though the animation felt alittle off-sync. Ed was quite good aswell. The episode seemed short... Only 21 mins? Same. Like it than the OVA. Although that OVA also made me shed a tear. x'3 And YES! It reminds me of a light version of D.Gray-man as well. And it doesn't help that Allen and Lag (which were main chars of their respective series) have the same white hair. :'p I'm loving the OP...and that ED was fine, might take a while to like it though. :'o I love colors and the animation's beautiful. :'o Srsly, Studio Pierrot? They sure know how to satisfy an audience. :'p -Exo- said: Whoa, Jun Fukuyama = Gauche? *spazzes* Why yes. -spazzes as well- Whee~ FIRST EPISODE, and I get my dose of FukuJun. I'm so happy. TTwTT Can't wait for the next episode! >w< And glad I watched the OVA awhile ago...lawl I get my doses of FukuJun there...and on another series, and now on this one too. ^w^ Yey~ Sad he doesn't have that much series this season. :'< I'm gonna be so lonely. Lawl I wonder when the OP single would be out... x'3 Anyways...my highest scored first episode -so far- for this season. ='D 5/5. I'm prolly mainly just being biased since FukuJun's in it...xD lawl; I'm tired of hearing Koshimizu Ami's voice... D: meeh...lawl |

| Compared to that excellent OVA this was pretty boring. Mainly because the contents of this first episode (and probably the next one) are already known due to the OVA. It was certainly not bad at all, but I am not sure if I have the patience to wait until the good part is starting. |

Forever said: Compared to that excellent OVA this was pretty boring. Mainly because the contents of this first episode (and probably the next one) are already known due to the OVA. It was certainly not bad at all, but I am not sure if I have the patience to wait until the good part is starting. I just watched the OVA then the first episode and thought they complemented each other nicely. All stories don't have to start in chronological order. I'm really loving the artwork and the color schemes, the music does a really good job of setting a mood. Studio Pierrot seems to have another good series on their hands. However what's with the CGI Bugs? The fight scenes really pull me out of this story, I just can't figure out why they chose to use 3D renditions when their 2D artwork/animation is really high quality. I'm gonna keep following this one though, I got a feeling this story has a little humanity in it. |
| It seems really promising ^.^ and the characters are really interesting too :3 |
| I liked it. At least they seem to have all the exposition out of the way with the first episode, so the next ones can delve into the story. If this series is anything like the OVA or better, I'm gonna be loving it. |
 |
| I do like the art but the episode was rather boring. Despite that I'll surely watch the episode next week. It just might get more interesting as it progresses. Too bad its only 13 episodes long. |
| Hmm.. so, the OVA that came out last year got me pretty hyped up for this one. I thought it was really good. Let's see what this show holds. It does seem to hold some potential anyway. So then, first episode, not much that was really interesting, except for when Gauche shot that ... Gaischuu : p And then when Lag unintentionally releases a huge burst of .. uuh.. stuff from the gun xD Anyway, I have high hopes for this one : ) Quite ok OP and the ED was pretty good too : p |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| seems better than anything else this season. I will keep watching :) |
| loved ova and loved this one, definatelly will be watching this anime |
  |
| Beautiful art, beautiful sound and a beautiful story... The op and the ed were also nice, Himeka did a great job again. I will definitely continoue watching this. |
 |
| Yea, this is def the best of fall so far. I loved that episode, way better than the OVA imo. But I've read some of the manga, and I like Gauche, so it was awesome to see the beginning animated. The art and colors are beautiful, and the music is nice as well. This is a definite watch this season, but why only 13 eps?? I hope there's more seasons...Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Nice art. Nice music. This season seems to have lots of 3DCGs look-a-like stuff. Not nice imo. Sad to think if all anime turns into 3D in the future :( |
hikky said: I was too bored to keep paying attention. This whole ep could have easily been condensed into 5 minutes and lost nothing. exactly... not very entertaining episode. |
| I guess it was OK.. Nothing interesting happened. |
| I thought it was cute as hell, Lag is so adorable. <3 I liked the atmosphere of it. Idk, I like it, it's beautiful so far. |
| yeah, it's just magical |
| Realllly great first episode! Great animation =3 I love the opening and ending theme too ;) |
   |
| So far a great adaption, i'm glad they got the seiyuus from the OVA to return, Jun makes a good Gauche. My only complaint is that the band for the opening doesn't have voice differentiation in tone/tempo. |
 |
| My absolutely favourite series this season. It feels unique to me. I liked OVA very much, too |
 Credits for the av go to whispering-eden.livejournal.com =) I used to be Dolce_Vitka here, but Vitka_Lynx is my nickname at alost all other sites, so I decided to take it here, too ^___^ |
| I was surprised by this anime, I do not believe that I would like it after seeing the special, but I thought fantastic. |

    |
| I liked it brilliant first episode. |
 |
| I really liked it :) It was pretty interesting. I watched the OVA and I had no idea how the anime would be. I thought it was going to be boring. But this episode kept me in the story and, well, some parts were so emotional, but I still liked it. Can't wait for next week (: |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| It got me, just that. I can't wait for next episode, I feel that this series is going to be freaking epic. Shota Seeing Lag is sooo cute. ~ |
| Since I've seen briliant OVA, this was little boring at the parts but still enjoyable. Can't wait for the next one. |
 |
| Hmm personally I prefer the OVA, but I'll see how this goes. |
