| Interesting, doesn't seem to be much of a comedy. Maybe romance though. |
 |
| Oh and if anyone's interested here is a list for points that each character has. Ayanokouji, Kiyotaka(MC) 82235 Horikita, Suzune(main heroine) 91887 Kushida, Kikyou(oppai girl) 54705 Sudou, Ken 3115 Ike, Kanji 42 Yamauchi, Haruki 28 Hirata, Yousuke(class leader) 21170 Kouenji, Rokusuke 6284 Karuizawa, Kei 2389 Satou, Maya 6850 |
| I'll be damned, finally a full length show to watch this season. Funny how that kind of MC feels refreshing these days. At the start I couldn't stop thinking they are making way too big deal out of a seat, but then I remembered someone wished me early death because of space behind a seat so I guess some people literally make it a matter of life and death... But I digress. I'm actually curios where this show is going. I thought there will be nothing to watch this season but luckily now I have something to look forward to. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Pretth good start 'twas. Although, for most of the episode especially the middle, it was really boring, it did really manage to pull things back with the ending. Speaking of the ending, it was rather obvious that there had be a 'catch' to it and I'm actually surprised to see the students being so dumb-founded. Well, this is what must have been what those senior students were warning the delinquent of Class 1-D. By the way, I think the comedy tag in MAL is a big mistake since this show seems the farthest from what I had claim a 'Comedy, Romance Show' for it gives the vibes of a mysterious and darker plot. I like how the main character is rather cynical though, just a personal opinion and the setting of the story. Maybe the episode could have been better but it was pretty good like I said earlier. However, I see a lot of potential in this story and so I'm looking forward to see the next episode. Hopefully, it will manage to intrigue me further. |

| This was a good first episode. The people in the bus are scum for not giving their seat to the old lady. The school they go to has an interesting system. They got lots of points, but mostly everyone spent them all and won't get anymore. They got screwed over for being idiots. |
 |
| I have one word to describe the ending of this Episode: H O I S T E D. |
| Great first episode in my opinion, I enjoyed it a lot. Especially that ending was some really good stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if this show ends up as one of my seasonal favorites. |
  |
| man does this anime have some hot girls.. and that teacher is fine as fuck show finna get real XD |
   |
| good start, I really like the setting of this animu |
| I felt like I was watching some Oregairu clone but I can read that this is its own beast. Look forward to seeing what this will be like in the future. I really disliked little oppai girl. Pushy people like that who want to be friends with everyone are an anathema to me. |

| How long to the end ? was all i was asking myself. Another of those anime shows that are trying too hard to be serious and dramatic + the male MC is the "kids will call him cool" type of character. Into the trash it goes. |
 |
| That bus scene was just fucked up, got right into the gist of things. This is a story about society, most definitely. I like the MC already, i look forward to how he will act throughout the series (he definitely knows how to handle money or he even thought that the twist could happen). That points system will make for a very interesting dynamic, what will the students without very low points do now? They need to get off their high horses and do something for themselves now, that would be the logical thing. |
Mezter said: LN Reader here. (I read Vol. 1-4) I think the first episode was pretty well done, and the animation is decent (as expected from Lerche), and it managed to finish with a cliffhanger. The only issue I have is the MC's voice actor. Ayanokoji (MC) sounds a bit too bland; I understand the seiyuu is quite new, but I hope he did a bit better than this. This seiyuu (Chiba Shouya) also did Azumi (MC) in Tsuki ga Kirei last season and he was perfectly fine there, not sure why he sounds so..unnatural here, despite knowing the fact the seiyuu tried to reflect Ayanokoji's character. I hope not too many people drop the show due to the MC's voice actor, coz I know this show is (going to be) pretty entertaining. I think the larger problem right now is that they skipped quite a lot from vol.1 which helped characterized our MC and supporting cast. Right now everyone is saying it's like an Oregairu clone when it's pretty far from it, from the standpoint of our characters especially the MC. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| A great start indeed. That ending was interesting, I had a feeling something was going to happen as seeing how the students were shown to be spending nonstop and not slowing down and trying to be a bit more responsible. |

I agree with you, that opening narration was interesting as it sets up for where the story will go from what we saw. |
|
| I really liked the 1st scene with the guy not giving up his seat Yea he was acting like a dick, but it's true that he said, anybody in the bus can give up their seat, and everybody stayed quiet, except for that one random lady who seemed to only get up to break the awkwardness in the air Hachiman like main character is also a big plus visuals look really fucking good as well very solid start |
 |
| I do not trust that blonde girl. She seems manipulative. |
 |
| This was pretty good. Even though the "catch" at the end was so obvious, it was still good. I kept telling them not to spend all their money but no one was listening. XD Hats off to that one lady on the bus! It looks like there will be some lessons in morality in the future. |
| Looking good, might be one of the best this season. Looking forward to more episode. Liking Suzune Horikita so far, she stands out to me more than that friendly go lucky girl. |

Okocha119 said: Spending an entire episode building up to a reveal that should have been more than obvious to anyone with a brain seems a bit much. Seriously, I have a really hard time believing that every single one of these supposedly smart kids automatically assumed that they'd be getting a 100.000 every month from now on without any conditions, especially when they were explicitly told that the money they originally got was a reward for passing the entrance exam. But apart from that it has definitely been an intriguing start. The setting seems promissing and I've already grown a little attached to our two main characters. Liking them both a lot. Class D is not the smartest bunch according to the Synopsis though: "Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is a student of D-class, which is where the school dumps its "inferior" students in order to ridicule them. For a certain reason, Kiyotaka was careless on his entrance examination, and was put in D-class." Ofc not all of them, as you can see from the picture with points left |
| Yet another highlight of the season. Sure, this episode was a bit sloppy in delivery, but I have high hopes in it redeeming itself. Even if it doesn't improve, the plot and dialogue will make it better than average. |
 good day lol |
| It was good, the MC has the most monotone voice though which irks me, but the show has a great premise (sp? it looks weird) the whole money/points thing is great, so you have to work hard to get money, based on what they said about assessments it seems to lead us into the idea that you can also gain points, more than what you were originally going to get. That being said, there was a quote in the episode saying "There is nothing, within reason, that you cannot buy on campus using points" and the 3 upperclassmen outside that shop acted haughty. So i'm assuming you can trade points. There must be some kind of system which allows the people with points to buy an "errand boy" and pay them so that they can live. Even if not, i'm looking forward to the next ep. Although the only thing i'm confused about is that the MC didn't get points even though he did nothing wrong. Is it collective then? |

| Oregairu successor. This was the show I was looking forward to this season and it had a great start. Everyone on the bus scene were trash. Apart from Kikyou and the lady that gave up her seat. Seems like Kikyou was testing Kiyotaka. Clearly he isn't interested. That twist at the end. It was obvious something like that would happen but still, the students got wrecked. |
 |
| That was a nice first episode, the setting is very interesting and I think that it did a good job with the character introductions and their interactions, the art style is great IMO, I really like the character designs and the backgrounds. No idea how it will go from here, but I'm pretty hyped, one thing I have pretty sure is that the cute girl is way too cute to not be evil lmao. |

Its MC's friend in the manga(him and the guy who has 42 points), well not really more like a friend he wanted to make so he is not lonely for all 3 years. Those 2 are quite some morons, literally buying all high-class stuff. They even bought PS-vita for each other and that costed quite a lot. |
| A pleasant surprise. I expected some generic school anime with the setting only a bit different to bait people (and not being too relevant later). Mainchar and black-haired girl are very nice chars. I like them. Don't like the blonde girl though. Chardesign is nice. Music and visuals are nice. School system is interesting. Reminded me a bit of Baka to Test but without stupid tests (games) - less childish. Would be nice if they introduced gambling as well - could be better than Kagegurui in that department then. (And the points would offer a possibility especially with people being low an points needing to get more in a fast way.) Reminded me a bit of that arc in Kaiji where they got money and could spent it or gamble for more. The stuff shown on the beginning (everyone needs to think about themselves) contradicts the things shown later in school. Seems the school/government wants their future elite to be able to work together. (Which makes sense for people that govern and need to think about how their decisions affect others.) ... Well at least it seemed like that with the MC also getting 0 points while he did not seem to cause as much trouble as the other in his class. Potential to get interesting here and I'm definitely going to watch the next episode(s). Didn't plan on watching it first. Just watched the episode 1 cause I had too much time. Main char reminded me a bit of Yang Wenli with his "speech" (introduction) - almost as good as him. :D I liked his personality of not trying to get involved. Reminds me a bit of myself. Causes less trouble. Someone who read the manga told the anime feels different (and he prefers the anime). Does anyone know the novel? Maybe manga and novel are different and the anime is following the novel more closely. So far I like the anime but I don't know manga/novel. I'd prefer if it continued in a similar style as episode 1. Did not remind me as much of OreGairu. Yeah the main ... but I think here it really seems like he tries not to get involved cause it is more convenient. (Not because of some trauma or negative experiences in the past.) |
| This is perfect. Pretty realistic in a lot of ways. Those students who didn't think ahead and wasted money like that along with not taking class seriously deserve having that 0 yen to use. I'm an actual loner irl as well and seeing ppl who are like "I want to be friends with everyone" is a load of crap. After like elementary school or whatever, that concept totally dissolves. |
| I like the color detail in the eyes for the female characters. Visually appealing to look at them. Plotwise, I think it's interesting but still feels like somethings missing. Was honestly expecting this to go the Danganronpa route at one point lol. |
| It was pretty obvious that the anime will focus on the le edgy and philosophical selling points when they adapted it seeing as how everyone went gaga over Oregairu. As for me though, I would've preferred if they kept the light hearted fanservice. Makes for a better bait and switch. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| This might be the best anime this season. I already like the main character/ |
| Yep feels like watching Baka Test. If it goes the way that went I'll stick around, decent epd. |
| I like the concept so far but the mc seems like Hachiman 2.0 with his dull personality. |
| Well, another scholar anime in this season that doesn't dissapointed me already. |
| Another amazing anime for an amazing season! I kind of figured out how the points system was going to work since the moment it was introduced. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The premise reminds me of Baka to Test. And the backstory reminds me of the girl that got sick on exam day. Oh and also + Oregairu character Hachiman! :D |
 |
| Possibly, my most favorite of this season, aswell as one of the best anime I've seen in years. I waited so long for a concept for this, I like the character design, voice actors, the script, it's original with the 100k per month and it all depends on your stake etc. I like how the mc is not a dull idiot, more like a clever and chill one, like that he will build up friendship with a person that has been 'alone' for a long time. I don't care about what others thinks, this shit is so good for the first episode, I literally love these types of anime, also good soundtracks. |

wolfwing said: I had already guessed what was coming, but did the MC get any points, as he actually seemed to be focusing more on being a good student and doing the right thing, or is it basicly the entire class loses points? I think nobody got any points, so even if there are decent people who used their points smartly they get collectively punished anyway. |
| I am glad this got an anime. My Japanese is nowhere near the level where I can read the novels yet and the manga stopped being translated for quite some time now. Art, music and voice actors all seem fitting. I got very strong Oregairu vibes from the whole show, except that it's on drugs with a twist so I am really looking forward to how it goes. |
| Literally every single person in the anime (except for the grandma) has gradient hair and I couldn't be happier |

They spent nearly 100k in 1 month? Sucks to be that dude. Remember that 100k yen is about equivalent to $1000. The dude at 42 points bought a Vita and several games so it's no wonder he burned through it in a month. :P Not sure what Yamauchi, Haruki bought. Interesting premise, and I like the MC. ;) I'll reserve judgment on the female leads for now. |

| Comedy and romance...? I'm confused by the tags, but this was one of the better first episodes this season. I was expecting a normal harem anime, but was pleasantly surprised. I like the MC and I like that he's so monotone with his voice. He seems different from what we normally see, so I'm happy. |
