For ppl who confused with the timeline,
Setti with orange hair is the past/flashback and setti with blond hair is the present.


Omg thank you
The whole episode was so confusing to me
I felt like they were interchanging Settie with the orange hair and the settie with the blond hair too often in the first half
Anyways, thanks for the explanation! ^^

ur well, glad it helps :)
Yeah. They shoved flashbacks in random spots without clearly showing they were flashbacks or when they happened. So it's will be confusing to other ppl who didn't read the manga.

Just saying this but; help yourselves and read both mangas, if you haven't done that. Thanks.
They will explain a lot of things and leave room for the so-so level anime-only content. It seems that they won't get that far in the series with all these things going on. It all started pretty well, having original content to fill and connect some things but by the end of the episode, I just started to lose my hope with the whole anime being faitful to the manga thanks to the last 5 minutes or so of the first episode. Not that it's a bad thing, but I wanted to really see some things that will happen now only in the manga (few chapters haven't been included in the drama CDs either).

Really liked it, really entertaining! I want to see how it develops..there's a lot of directions it might go in. As I didn't read the manga beforehand, I'll probably read it after this finishes airing.

in my opinion its badly written, if they want co combine both manga they should make another flashback episodes instead confusing the viewer with overlapping flashbacks.

This is quite a different kind of SoL with very low yaoi undertones...
4/5.

I was craving for a new BL anime for years, bless this. It seems we'll have a light and fluffy shonen-ai :D
Gotta go reblog some gifs of it on tumblr and spread the love!:D

Yes, in some sense it's badly written as some scenes were pretty hard for even me, who has been reading both mangas and working on My Hero. Hitorijime My Hero is Hitorijime Boyfriend's spinoff sequel.

I didn't expect this to be so good, so I'm pretty happy!
The BL anime we've had in the last few years have barely been passable really- Love Stage and Super Lovers aren't my cup of tea just because they fell a bit short in terms of the characters.

This doesn't seem to have that problem so far though since they're all adorable and charming.
Nothing groundbreaking for the genre, but it does what it does well enough to keep me intrigued for what's to come.

Also, the ED song was gorgeous *o*

That was actually more than decent and better than about 50% of the shows I've seen so far from this season.

And I was always interested in seeing a shounen ai show. Definitely gonna stick with it.

yeah, it's a bit mess...but I think it's still good for ppl who doesn't read the manga. Still confused how they gonna write the storyline, so far the plot and the timeline for ep 1 are really different from the manga....whats make me afraid is hasekura x kensuke pair timeline will affect the kousuke x settie moment :"/
I mean in the manga kousuke and setti romance start when hasekura already close with kensuke, thats mean we need to wait until hasekura x kensuke conflict finished, then the kousuke x settie romance will start right? means kousettie will only got small moment :"( I didn't want to wait too long for kousettie ;^;......I hope that isn't the case..

The first episode is somewhat refreshing. Many things happen, but it not makes me confused.
Kensuke is soooo cute! I don't know why, but I want to see him more with Hasekura?
Settie is pretty cute too. I like his personality.
Can't wait for the next episode! :D

unannounced timeskip. One of the blonds was... orange apparently.
Teacher fired but... came back?
Rainbow+weird tshirt kid seems most interesting.
For gangstas action is lacking, also they just ran forward to lose those that gang.

will stick with this mess a bit longer just cuz it's shounen ai...

I, like a tired dumbass, got confused by two characters because they're both blond and soft-spoken and so I had to pause the video for fifteen minutes and figure them out.

Love the OP, love the seiyuus. I see they're going the Sekaiichi/Junjou route by including other pairs but not really feeling the Kensuke and Hasekura pairing. I hope they don't appear too much.

Omg Matsuoka Yoshitsugu voicing Kensuke was cracking me up. L O L @ him constantly running away from Hasekura.

I like that it didn’t have a heavy focus on one pairing. Seems like Kensuke & Hasekura’s relationship would share the spotlight too.

Felt so bad for Masahiro. Felt sad watching him & Kensuke talk about the kitten. He was referring to himself :(

Kousuke is ♡______♡ DAT MOLE, a beauty mark indeed.

Great first episode. Had me feeling emotional, laughing, I like the direction. ED is pretty lovely too.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

I was told by my friend that this anime have a good story, but after watching the first episode i wanted to drop it so bad. the sequence was not in order in a clear way, you thought you were introduced to a new character but they was establish already. you don't know which was in the past, timeskip, or continuation of a scene. truly weak for the first episode. my watch retention cannot handle this boring episode.

I will however force myself to watch 2 more episodes to make my final verdict. nevertheless, cool character design tho
