| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The OP song is fabulous, not very high quality but still quite humorous with the choreography. Comedy is still really fun to watch mostly because of Handa's personality. Leo's kind of a funny guy, not as amusing as Handa though imo. That poker face smile of his...  |
 |
| It became battle of girls. lol @ the cute girl defeated by "ugly writing". Friend and rivalry. Megane guy vs. Handa-kun. Megane guy is serious but Handa-kun doesn't want to be class rep. Handa-kun won janken, though. He quit. Wow, he still became rep. and megane guy does all the work. Model guy (Kakkii's character) vs. Handa-kun. Girls prefer Handa-kun. He thought Handa-kun's interested, but he helped him out because his was a poor person from his disguise. Model guy gave up being a model. That's how they became Handa-kun's fans... nice. 3 stories and getting serious next? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Literally someone's face was half purple throughout the whole episode. Love how everything backfires on Handa. |
| It's nice how diifers perception of characters from manga. In manga imo Handa is more miserable than cool, Inchou-kun in anime is so full on himself, class's idol is more straightforward than bitchy. I even felt bad for her during confession. Model-kun is the same though. Well it's all my personal opinions, maybe other readers see them just as in anime. Next time kitchen episode? It would be nice to see the only adequate guy in harem :D |
 |
| I thought that opening was a joke for episode 1 LOL Loved how Handa handled that whole confession fiasco. Also...is that x=12 gonna stay on the board the whole anime? |

| 3 manga chapters adapted this week. 2 and a half anyway since they finished Chapter 1 then did 3 and 4. XD Reminding me now of that art club series airing this season too since it also had 3 segments this week. That looks like it's gonna be the standard set-up from now on. Well it was nice to get a glimpse of Kawafuji, our biggest holdover from Barakamon besides Handa himself. That whole class rep struggle reminded me of My Hero Academia. Aizawa even reminded me of Iida. XD Gotta love rock, paper, scissors battles. XD And Reo the model...err ex-model rounded out this week. Much better than last week in general. Very faithful to the manga. They even adapted the present omake at the end of volume 1 post-credits. |
| Damn, that part between Handa & Leo was reminds me of what happened with Sakamoto & Sera in Sakamoto desu ga? lol |
| i can't seem to find the episode with subtitles . all i see is the raw version |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| I can't be the only one that thinks that "Handa-Kun" is a MUCH better "Sakamoto desu ga?" |
| Reo is ADORABLE T__T Ohh, such a cutie he is... It's a miracle Handa can pull off everything and leave everyone with a positive impression ^O^ even if he doesn't realize it himself! And I'm really liking Shimazaki's voice for Handa :P |
Zukrad said: I can't be the only one that thinks that "Handa-Kun" is a MUCH better "Sakamoto desu ga?" Nope, you're definitely not the only one. The comedy and characters surpass Sakamoto in every way. As someone who read the manga, this is only going to get better from here. It's hilarious how many misunderstandings blow way out of proportion. |
| "You're making the cat uncomfortable!" lolol Much better than whatever episode 1 was. :D |
| That cat looking uncomfortable was lol. |
 |
| I still don't know how to react this show. It's the first show in a long time that's completely baffled me. It's clearly missing supporting pieces in its framework but somehow it still functions just fine! I don't get this show! I like it, but I don't get it or what it's purpose is at all! |
| Definitely better than last week, Found this episode much more fun to watch. Them rejections though, Handa is too hardboiled to the class XD Rock-Paper-Scissors FTW, Lol at how Aizawa thought Handa was deceiving him when he claimed he'd only use rock. Poor Handa, Everything just backfires from his perspective xD Handa says the nicest of things without even realizing it XD |
 |
| Love seeing all the misunderstandings. |
| :) |
| LOL, when the girls fought and confused Handa...that was the best! <33 I like that Handa reminded the girls to be friends, and that's honestly what happened afterward. :) The misunderstanding there, though... Earlier, Handa was told that he could leave, and he only told Maiko that she had sloppy writing since it came into his head. :P It looked like Handa left as a way of rejecting both girls, but he honestly just left because he was allowed to, LOL! And the poor thing was so confused... Juri totally misunderstood Handa's letter. :P It's interesting that Kawafuji chose not to see Maiko's confession to Handa... :P I find it hilarious that Aizawa learned an unintended lesson from Handa. :P It's great that our boy learned to have more faith in people... But it's truly funny that Handa did not want to be the chairperson, but it was still given to him... :P And Handa did not even know what a chairperson does... Kawafuji SAW Reo follow Handa, yet he did nothing! What a great friend, huh?? xD I ADORE the cat appearing. <33 Barakamon readers/watchers would have knew instantly as to why Handa did not hold the cat. The poor boy and his allergy… Lol at Reo being confused as to whether Handa liked the cat or not, and then came to the conclusion that Handa’s "secret to his charm" is his gaze! LOL. I love the kindness Handa displayed to Reo. :) LOL, but the misunderstanding still remains... Reo thought Handa was being considerate by reinforcing him to continue his modeling, but in all honesty, Handa thought Reo was a homeless person (in the manga)!! If I were Handa, I'd be afraid too; a stranger just approached him and wanted him to try on clothing. :P The ending theme song included the characters we've met! YAY! I look forward to when the characters walking behind Handa increase... ^^ And Kenichi's voice <33 It was just SAD when Handa put Maiko's gift in the Lost and Found bin. LOL. <33 |

| This week on Misunderstanding-kun. |
| Well that's one "unique" Title. "Handa-kun and the continuation of Episode 1". I guess Juri started to getting honest with her own feeling. Especially after getting the wrong idea for Handa's letter for her. I guess Handa can be positive sometime too, huh? There's no doubt that Aizawa should be the chairperson at the first palce, since he's so passionate about becoming one. But since this show is titled "Handa-kun", it's already settled who will be the one, RIGHT? LOL And so on, the backstory for some of the "Handa-Force" members. |

| This show is horrendous and is an insult to even be associated with Barakamon. I'm going to give this one more episode to turn the tables for me but...I don't have much faith. and yes, I am the one person who gave this episode a 1 out of 5. |

It is what the whole show will be. The misunderstandings will pile up continuously and everyone worships him as some charismatic idol while he goes on thinking people act weird around him because he's despised by everyone. If you don't like the sound of that, then I suggest you drop the show now (even though you'll be missing out on one of the greatest comedies ever).

This is honestly a lot better than Barakamon imo. The episodes were very hit or miss with that show. |

This is honestly a lot better than Barakamon imo. The episodes were very hit or miss with that show. Well so far this show from week 1 to week 2 scoring, in which there is still around 33 hours until it get finalized, the show has fallen from 7.65 to 7.37. That is a pretty substantial lost in score. But if your calling Barakamon episodes hit or miss, I don't even believe the shot even fired for Handa-kun. Someone soaked the pistols in piss. |
|
| Quite a bit better than last week, but still not that great, and absolutely nowhere near the levels of Barakamon. At the very least, the jokes themselves were slightly varied even if they're all played off Handa misunderstanding everything; I still think that's going to get very stale very quickly, even more quickly than Sakamoto last season (especially considering how forced and illogical most of them are). Seriously, I don't get what most of the people in this thread love so much here; I'm just not seeing it. |

| This is completely not what I expected from a Barakamon prequel lol XD this is much more pure comedy, not that it's a bad thing |
| Much better than first episode, was going to drop it if they had continued with the anime original thing but looks like it was only for the first episode. That part with the chairperson and rock-paper-scissors was funny as heck lol. |
 |
| Much better episode than the first due to no stupid meta stuff. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Poor Maiko, it was a savage rejection This episode was funny, I hope it will continue like this for the rest of the show |
| He escaped the girls, but he didn't escape the ellection. Lol, even models envy him. |
 |
| That cat's face was hilarious, lmao. The show is funny most of the time, but so far, I don't think it's quite at the level of the manga in my opinion. Hopefully they can improve this. |

| The misunderstandings seriously make no sense, makes me think of just stupid characters in this show. If it's going to be the whole show, then i don't think i can like it beyond a 6/10. |
SmudyJul 16, 2016 7:07 AM
| omg i love this show so much the guy with the glasses is so entertaining lmao |
| Comedy is better than the first episode. I think I'm quite used to the less-Barakamon feel of Handa-kun. |

All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |
| Poor Handa-kun, I feel you, I want to hug cats too! x) |

It has a same purpose as every anime has : To be entertaining. |
| I guess I was expecting a lot in relation to Barakamon but it's okay for comedy |
| Continues to be a disappointment,probably dropping next episode. |
| Bwahahah, for some reason I enjoyed the chairperson part - it wasn't anything too special but it was a really well made slice-of-life joke - we've all been there lol. Really enjoyed it. The model part? It was okay. Just okay. :D |
| all those misunderstandings lol and Reo grew up as a person because of Handa |
 |
VanishingKira said: Just drop it. You already know what you're going to get out of this anime by now.Continues to be a disappointment,probably dropping next episode. Great episode, I'm really enjoying the humor in this anime... I just miss Barakamon. |
| Boring comedy and Diomedea; two awful things. Possible drop here :( |
 |
| How come most people aren't watching this? It's great. |
| "Handa ga icchau~" I LOL'd so hard at stalker Reo and how he struggled to prevent Handa got scouted for modelling. It's still too early for me to say but this show is pure gold so far and one of the best show for this season. |
 |
| I was kinda put off by the first episode....... but now I get the whole story it is very fun to watch... handa kun is misjudged by others and in return he also misjudge others as well.... He doesn't even know he is popular does he...... |
 |
| That was a whole lot better than the first episode. Definitely fun to watch if they keep up with it. |
| Misunderstanding-kun just ain't for me. Dropping. |
