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.
Who is going to win?

It was obvious from the start. Seems like Japanese writers can't mix things up. First girl rule forever, right? What's more always those plain ones/least interesting win.

Other then that OK episode but comedy isn't really that good and romance/drama is predictable as hell. I'm not sure what can it offer to keep me interested. So far doesn't look very promising...

I like it, it subverts what we think are going to be the two front runners and puts a girl who doesn't follow the stereotypes of anime.

Instead of the gloomy long haired beauty or the tsundere foreigner its just some girl who doesn't seem to be abnormal at all.

This anime has so many references such as Amagi brilliant park, Date A Live, SAO, Kannagi, Oreimo, Sekai Seifuku. I'm amazed by his room. I want Aki's room!

The returning of Kirito's voice, I just love his voice :)

Utaha and Eriri are the best! But I'm more on Utaha :D

They gave it away in the parody (prologue) episode if you did not notice.

Anyways, the epilogue episode was never to fool me. I knew I would like this anime if I gave it a try. So, it seems it's going to be a good ride. :)

Great episode, I loved it! Eriri & Utaha are both awesome, I love how they were acting so uninterested in Tomoya's idea but they both showed up anyway, hm...~

And Kato's the girl who inspired this all, definitely looking forward to seeing more of her.

Go Tomoya! I really like how passionate he is about this and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Jesus the blonde.... such a generic tsundere.... Not that any of the girls so far are any unique but she was too painfully tsundere that I had to cringe. I love Tsundere characters, but after watching 50 anime with the same o'l generic Tsundere I am starting to get pissed off by the noticable lack of originality.

Generic otaku loser-kun protagonist gets all the girls.... Gotta love those wish-fulfillment pondering to the otaku crowd anime....

Yay! Another harem.... episode 0 was enjoyable because of the brilliant fanservice making me ignore the Harem aspect (I hate harems with passion) But now in the real thing... they take out the only redeemable aspect of the show and make it a generic harem without fanservice..

Well I guess you could consider the 'game making' aspect as 'unique' or 'good' but lets be honest, the 'game creation' is just an excuse for the same old generic harem BS. I doubt game creation is going to be a big focus of this anime, more like its just a set up or the theme of the harem. Just like Infinite Stratos has generic fights, this has generic group work. I also feel like this game creation could very easily feel like another school club anime (where the action is centered on a high school club and its members, eg Suzumyia Haruhi, K-on! etc.) Because of those cast members doing all those 'club screwing around' activities I've seen in 9000 other anime.

In any case, I was dissapointed by this episode. I will not drop this anime yet, but I feel like I will need to force myself to watch episode 2. In any case I will give it a chance.

All the characters are generic to the absurd, but I feel like that's part of all the lampshading that this anime seems to be centered around. I really enjoyed it, in fact I enjoyed it so much that I don't even feel mad about the fan service. I'm a sucker for lampshading and otaku bait, both of the episodes kept me smiling for the most part so that's nice.

Love the animation, the plot could be interesting if they manage to avoid the usual generic plot points, and the girls are good to look at as well, but am I the only one that dislikes the MC? During his two convos with Eriri and Utaha he came across as very obtrusive and annoying. "Yeah I know you're busy, but hear me out one more time, just one more time, please hear me out one more time."

I find the MC a bit overdemanding of the girls too, but that _could_ be interpreted as a positive. Worst bit is, he stood them up in the AV room. >.>

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.

I'm guessing that's the point - to poke fun at and deconstruct the high school harem anime genre. Episode 0 poked plenty of fun at the genre too.

Poking fun at the harem genre is also pretty generic and cliche which I've seen done thousands of times before(hyperbole). It is just basically a harem anime which doesn't see itself seriously. So I personally don't really care if it is intended to 'make fun off' the Harem genre or be another generic harem, because in the end they are one and the same.

I admit that before I began to see this episode, I had a different opinion of this anime, but now I have to change my mind and admit that it is not so bad.
Narration more than positive and not so obvious.
Drawing more than good.
For now, the A1 Production is doing a great job in the TV series in which he is involved.

So far it’s good but since it’s basically a harem I’m going to keep my expectations low, although I’m hoping it’ll be more like Hagenai instead of Trinity Seven. Utaha is so far the one I like the most and I haven’t seen 1 thing that is likeable about the MC so I’m hoping the next episode will give me an idea. The art is perfect and I'm loving the references though.

Thats not how you do it tough. This show is just pretending to deconstruct and poke fun at the harem tropes, in reality its becoming and is exactly what it is trying to poke fun at. Take the dialgoue of any other harem/romance tropes riddled anime and put it over Saenai and you wouldnt notice.

So this a typical harem but with better character artwork i guess since the girls look really fine.
They don't have that much of that childish moe look many girls in LN's have.

I agree. In the end the show really is a generic harem anyway so i don't get how is deconstructing anything. It would have been deconstruction if it looked like a generic harem but ended being something else and this show doesn't seem to have such intentions.

Finally someone who understands and is not all "fanservice ewww". I mean what the fuck is wrong with this people?
They all try to play the intellectual and how they are above fanservice but then they are fine with watching a silly harem. Do they really think that by making a comment against fanservice suddenly means they appear like serious shit?
Why wouldn't you want fanservice in a show like this anyway? It can only be a plus really since it adds reasons to watch it.

Good episode.

Though i admit i enjoyed Episode 0, but it seems their going back on how the girls were introduce to Tomoya.

Lol i saw some Oreimo posters, Highschool DxD BD's, Sword Art Online, Ano Hana, Vividred Operation and Zvezda figures!

Seems the two girls are artists and illustrators in their occupation. I have to wonder if there are some cute girls who are in highschool, but doing Ero manga's as they're other jobs :)

So that's how Kanou was met!!! So that's what he meant when she said in Episode 0 "You finally noticed me" idiot Tomoya they have been class for so long now.

Any case i hope they reached the same relationship they have in Episode 0.

Also Team Katou all the way!!

Can't wait for the next episode!

Plain? Ordinary? But beautiful? A beautiful girl is NOT ordinary, if she is ordinary than the rest of the world is trash. What does a girl have to do to be considered extraordinary in the wish-fulfillment world? Be a witch, vampire, AND ninja? The only one who is ordinary here is the MC, who might as well not have a face. In fact, he would probably be less annoying if he didn't have a face.
