What was the bloody point of the prequel, it was bad, i actually didn't plan to watch this because the prequel chased me away but i did anyways and it turned out to be good.

Well that was a good first episode. I enjoy the MC goal from the first episode and the girls he ropes in to accomplish that goal.

Great episode!!!

Eriri IS best girl. Stark get it right once.


Seconded.

Apparently I wasn't looking close enough, or I just haven't watched enough Anime to catch them. But the only references I saw were the Oreimo poster and the Anohana Figurine.

I like it so far, as well as everyone in it, so I don't really know who I like the least. Though as I may have implied, Eriri is the one that I like the most so far.

I like the cgi in this one. Eriri seems interesting, she ain't like Michiru allt hat much.

Utaha seems more interesting too as compared to the special.

Miss background-chan i.e. Utaha is here! Really liked her introduction.

Hmmm I can't seem to decide who is my fav. right now, it was obvious in the OVA (Megumi) but I am not sure anymore. Oh well, it will still be Megumi, I think. She is the most original chara I have seen in a while.

Very nice ED.

This anime reminds me a lot of Nisekoi and the Monogatari series. The art and style. I liked it, so I'll keep watching

The art is indeed unique. I can only name some with the same art uniqueness.

He's got the two main heroines, but he's after the normal one. Such possibilities really hit the reasoning and understanding part.
Anyway, this looks fun. So far I'm enjoying it even though the interesting parts are at bay.

That awkward moment when you realize you fell in love with a girl totally different from what you thought she was x)

Uhhh, I don't know who to ship. I think I'll go with Katou. I looove the cheesy childhood friend trope and I'm confortable with tsundere (also, that ZR...), but I feel like the story of an otaku who is always living in a world full of tropes who fall in love with a very normal girl is really romantic. Utaha also seem to be a nice sharp character, but kuudere is not really my type, sadly.

Also, is it me or that episode was really Shaftin'? Those head tilt and dem lips...

That was a hilarious and very decent first episode. Hope it isn't too generic of an anime. It certainly seems self-conscious.

Also, skirt/stockings close-ups over 9 million. Dunno if I approve or not... ok I'll be honest I don't mind it in the slightest yet. XD

Nice to see the usual tsundere hate here. Welp, I dun even give an f, I find Eriri's tsun-ness funny and adorable more than anything and she's hella attractive (wow such twintail). Come at meh.

I feel like I've seen this anime about a thousand times before. Ironic that the main character's work is getting criticized for being derivative and unoriginal. With dozens of series each cour, most of them set in highschool, and most of those with pathetic male protagonists surrounded by super effective female harems, it can be hard to stand out... except by, you know, doing ANYTHING AT ALL different, which this show doesn't. Looking a lot like a huge waste of ink.

Sometimes I wonder if everyone in Japan dies when highschool ends. Can we get even one show set in university? Can we get a relationship that at least vaguely resembles reality and isn't all the top girls in the school going after one worthless guy?

I was quite surprised at how much I liked this... really looking forward for episodes to come...


It has quite the Shaft vibe to it, I even spotted some head tilts here and there... So kind of a poor man's Niseko (at least n visual department)i ? Yeah I'll take that.


Finally just want to point out that Matsuoka-kun seems to be doing an outstanding job once again... he really exceeds in comic role imo

Utaha best girl for me! Haha

But with the hints in the intro, OP, and ED, all I can say that maybe Megumi Kato will be the end game and that reminds me of TWGOK but I hope I can get attached to her soon.

Also, Tomoya reminds me of Keima and they can be pals, I'm calling it.
The world shall know the truth soon.

Very nice. If this was a harem series it certainly gives off a very different feel. Probably more elegant in a sense of artwork and the general feel of it.

I like how they are taking it slow for now. The pacing feels comfortable and without throwing out exposition chunks introduces us to the characters. This should be a keeper for now. :) Delightful characters too.

Not bad.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Watching the prologue, i wasn't quite sure to make out of the story. The only thing that actually caught my eye was the artwork. Good signs for me is every character so far seem to carry an enjoyable trait.

Utaha is possibly my favourite at the moment, and i would like to see her antagonize Tomoya a bit more, similarly to what she was doing in the prologue episode

Now this was more of what I was expecting unlike episode 0 from last week. Though it was mainly just introducing us to some of the main chars, it was still quite enjoyable.

I'm not too fond of Eriri thus far (given I'm not too big on tsunderes in the first place). The fact that she draws doujins is pretty funny though. Utaha sits a lot better with me from what we've seen and her char design suits my tastes quite well. Plus, she's a writer which is awesome! ^^

Pretty nice first episode. As a departure from Episode 0, I appreciated how they slowed down the pace to show how everything got started. Though it seems like a problem that it's already pretty damn obvious who is going to win even considering I haven't read the LN, it'll be fun to see the ride getting there.

The journey is more important than the destination, right? I better hope so.

Actually I like that aspect of him. Despite this being a generic harem setup the dude

1. Isn't a pussy and stands up for himself.
2. While being showered with girls is legitimately not interested and isn't perverted.
3. Isn't stupid either but not so ridiculous genius. He's just not very talented for the field he wants to be in.
4. Not socially awkward in the "I'm afraid to talk to girls" way, but in the uncaring about shit way while also not being a complete blank slate type.
5. Isn't the other end of the spectruum like that dude from SAO or Mahouka.

I haven't seen much harem stuff but he seems to be a much more grounded protagonist than in most of these types of anime.

So this is how they got together! Or should I say they already knew each other? Oh well... (though now the question is how he got hooked with Kasumigaoka Utaha and revealed her secret in the first place. Following episode 0 this one was really nice first episode of this year's winter animes. I am adding this series to my favorites right now.

Character art is good, animation too, in some ways those characters reminds me of Grisaia and I have the feeling they are trying to do some clever dialogues of Oregairu, especially with Kayano Ai on board, she is a goddess here (I think they really want her to replicate some vibes of Senjougahara Hitagi from Bakemonogatari). All in all, A-1 really put some work into it, I wonder what they can do with it.
