| Okay so this fingerblaster anime is full form but then all the shows I'm really interested in are like 10 mins ? I have no idea Quiz bowl is sorta like Knowledge Bowl (a state competition where I'm from) I'll give this two more episodes and see if I'll continue it Also what does this anime have cross-dressing? |

| first insta drop anime of the season. that voice is awful. |
| Huh? Most of you here are complaining about voice acting of main girl. I really liked it tbh. To he precise, I went to this thread because I wanted to say that I liked her voice actress xD it's just different, that's all. Btw, nice start. I'm rather not interested in quizzes etc, but they got me interested. Unexpectedly, I'm looking forward for more. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| This is the "panty shot" that people are outraged over? Not a bad episode, but not really strong enough to justify continuing. I think I'll pass. 3/5 |
| I liked it. It was much more fun than i thought it would be. And i heard nothing wrong with Mari's voice, it's simply not as moe as one perhaps could expect. |
 |
| This anime had pretty strong start. I'm very looking forward to how it will end up! |
| Only thing I didn't like was the panty shot. The quiz concept was definitely something I liked, good to see in an anime. Mari's VA was...weird, though. Like it didn't belong there at all, didn't match with her facial expressions. |
| I'll also hop onto the "weird VA voice" train, but considering she's only done 3 supporting and this is her first major role I'm willing to be patient. This isn't a romcom or anything where "traditionally sexy" voice acting is required. All I hope for is that she can grow over time and become a new voice. We seriously need some new female leads. I'm getting tired of hearing the same 6 voices, 2 of which are indistinguishable. |
| It is off to a great start. Looking forward to next week. |

| THE PLEAAASSSIRES OF BUTTONS AND PUSHINNNG ITTTT FWWWYAAAHH My biggest question is will this surpass the manga translations that have come out so far? It's been five years... |
 |
| Well I found it quite entertaining. |

renrinken said: This anime was a real pleasant surprise to me. I never heard of the manga before but this show seems really great. Was won over by it instantly. Also I really enjoyed Umika's performance. I always really loved more masculine/deep/gravely sounding seiyuu, so I loved her performance so far. Same here :D Im going to check out the manga later o.O |

| Why does this remind me of Phi Brain? |
| Other than main girl's voice i like the show. |
| OP was great, yeah the main female VA isn't handling her role really well atm. There's always room for improvement. It didn't really have any ridiculous ways of becoming faster at pressing the buzzer. Overall a pretty nice start. :) |
ButtSlapper said: wow the VA who voices the main female character should take a Japanese lesson to improve her pronunciation. Same. I'm not usually picky on VAs to be famed, but Mari's VA performance, before any voice style and emotion issues, has to deal with the basic enunnciation. This is necessaary even for an actor in dramas. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who finds one can make out what she's saying, but something seems to be clotting between the syllables. An unclear voice is unnatural for a shounen manga style dominant female lead, at least not a well-trained genius in the setting of Fast Fingers First competitions like Mari. Fast Finger First competition is one of my childhood memories, and for that I've followed 7O3X manga for at least a year. I believed I wouldn't drop this anime even if it's mediocore, but the slow paste of ep1 and the production's inconsiderate choice of lead VA has forced me to think twice. |
| 一期一会 |
| Nice start. The anime could use up some soundtrack to liven up the atmosphere during the quiz though. Also, just like others said. The girl's VA did a terrible voice acting. She sounded so bland and stiff. I just hope it doesn't grow on my irritation level over the course. |
 |
| It was an...interesting start, I love both the concept and the way it is introduced, and the MC is a proper one for this kind of anime. However, I though that the voice acting of the woman was a little bit...weird, I dunno, it was a little distracting and I didn't find it cute :'( Maybe her voice will become more enjoyable after some episodes (she seems new in the industry), or maybe that once used to this voice, I won't mind it who knows. Also, I found it funny how our MC couldn't become librarian because of his shyness x) |
 |
| Wow. WOW. It's been a WHILE since I heard such bad voice acting, that main girl's voice is AWFUL, it doesn't fit at all. Who the hell decided to cast her when she doesn't fit with the character she's doing even a single bit? |

abecyo said: Umika Kawashima(Fukami) is a japanese idol. her experience of VA is very poor. ALL JAPAN HIGH SCHOOL QUIZ CHAMPIONSHIP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyeM-ShCsbM&t=57s) is aired on NTV every summer. They want to cast her as a guest on the show because idol is quite more famous and popular than VA. Thanks for the background information! Always appreciated when people who know a lot of stuff share! :) renrinken said: Also I really enjoyed Umika's performance. I always really loved more masculine/deep/gravely sounding seiyuu, so I loved her performance so far. I also like her plain normal realistic voice. Real people talk different in real life, so of course they should be doing this in anime as well. I don't see tha VA as bad. I see her play a character that's a bit insecure, and not used to talk among strangers. The VA now have great potential to let herself and her character evolve and improve along the road through the next eleven episodes! Ganbatte! |
| well that wasn't bad |
 |
| I got so damn hypedddddd while watching this episode , My heart started beating faster and faster and when the last question was asked i was like ^* CALM THE FUCK DOWN MY HEART *^ , This anime got a lot of potential i give you that for sure , It's going to get much and much better i'm so certain of it ... Anyways the concept is kind of new and it's reallyy sooo enjoyable , I felt like time was passing by faster while watching the episode it realy makes you hypedd for more 🔥🔥🔥 , Koshiyama is really smart , calm and collective he kinda gets embarrassed quickly and i think that's a good side of his personality but when he was in that Quiz Show he was like " Fuck people , Let's try this " and it was plainly amazing , what he did was pretty awesome and that's why i love his character a lot and i thought he has a big chance of becoming the Quiz King so yea he's pretty amazing , Fukami is cute and she's pretty smart too but when she gets serious well that's another story , The way she changed was so sudden i was like ^* Shit's about to go down *^ it was so cool how she changed and that's how Koshiyama got his motivation to answer , This fast buzzing thing made me so freaking hyped i was going to die ( I imagined the things that's going to happen later ) so yea i was about to die 😂😂 so i think Fukami and Koshiyama are going to be a great pair together in the Quiz shows and i just can't describe how hypedddddd 🔥🔥🔥🔥 , Anyways i can't wait for next week's episode and i hope this anime doesn't betray my expectations 🔥🔥👌 , Looking Forward !!!! |

| I'm actually very surprised of the low rating. It wasn't really that bad at all. I actually liked Fukami's voice. It's nice to hear a different voice for a change. Sometimes, she sounds sounded a little boring, but I think it will be better over time |
| I liked this, but the seiyuu voice annoys me, but only at the end of the ep don't know why. If they wanted to do a more deep voiced female character they could have give her a fitting look, instead we have the standard bishoujo look with a masculine voice... |

| It seriously gives me chihayafuru vibes when they start do the quiz test, especiallly the girl just like chihaya with that 'hearing ability(?)', gonna stick to it, we'll see if this gonna keep me interest for more ep. |
 |
| The female MC's VA sounds like she's got a major lisp. It's rather unpleasant. |
 |
| Enjoy this first episode, minus the underwear joke (which only happens once in the entire manga for some odd reason). The mangaka could have handled that type of encounter-situation in a different way and still keep it funny, but oh well... The OP goes well with the series. Pretty catchy as well. Yes, they could have chosen a better VA for Mari. I didn’t get the feeling this was the same Mari I have been reading in the manga... Personality wise, Mari is kinda like Chihaya (from Chihayafuru), sadly, she didn’t come across like that in this episode mainly because the VA. P.S. I don’t have anything against the VA voice (she has a pretty unique voice). I think that type of voice could have worked better for some other type of character instead of this one though. |
 We ultimately fear what spawns from within us ~Shinsekai yori Music is freedom. ~Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso |
| I participated in a club in my senior year of high school called Hi-Q which is exactly like this Quiz Bowl competition. Enjoyable first episode and I can tell it will keep me interested. Main girl is cute and our protag is already coming out of his shell. |
 |
| I don't really mind the voice actress much, but I can understand the complaints. An okay start. Pretty basic, yet interesting. The panty shot thing though was rather repetitive. |
| To be honest here, but if the visuals weren't as good as they are, I probably wouldn't bother to keep watching despite finding this pretty enjoyable. Opening was really nice. Uplifting feeling just watching it, what you should get from a sports/game club themed anime IMO. Fukami's voice actor sounded really... amatuerish, not in a good way, more like the sister in Sket-dan, ugh. Then checking to see she only has 3 roles. Well at least she's cute. The anime character designs look quite familiar but I can't really pinpoint on what. Oh and that english title, Fastest Finger First. Well that probably isn't gonna be used out of context, definitely. Haha... |
| I was pretty much a bookworm myself back before Uni, introvert and I loved reading facts uncommon to most people so I can feel how the MC feel about that. I did join some Quiz Bowl back then though but It's not really my forte and I don't like competitions, also Uni changes everything and I actually lost my bookworm habit now wtf. As of the series, this is quite interesting for me. Just like that typical shounen sport series but in Quizzes. I found Fukami is charming, her VA can do better but as of now I think It's still good enough for me. |

| This was able to make the thought processes that go into answering quiz questions interesting enough. |
 |
| Other than the wimp MC, who wants to score with your cutest schoolgirl, who self-loathes himself on being mere passive spectator to everything till now, founds his lifetime worth of thrill by pressing brutely a buzzer to answer a quiz onstage.........Maybe see where this goes. |
