just started to watch the anime. good start. didnt love it, but I sure enjoy it...
now for the art... very relax looking (prefer other styles) and beautiful... except when hagu(?) showed up, she didnt look cute to me at all, she looked like a doll. but I did like how she look when she was scared.

anyway, going to watch the 2nd episode now

I only watched the first episode, but Hagumi Hanamoto is probably already my least favorite anime character of all time.
Elsewhere, a somewhat startled Warren Worthington III finds that he has accidentally wandered into an electrified east-side world of post-twist teens and watsui-ing teeny-boppers...

The girls here looked a bit weird to me. As xxjanism has pointed out before me, Hanamoto really looked like a doll to me.
But nevermind that, I loved this episode. Morita is fucking hilarious!! I couldn't stop laughing at the scene where he is shouting "NO MORE" in slow motion XD

Ohh really cute episode ^^ I loved it!

Lol at Morita, I don't like him though... He's not precisely a nice dude D:
And I agree that Hagu isn't that cute how they try to portrait her XD!

I've heard so many good things about this series.

First episode was brilliant in my opinion. It did well setting the scene, showing off all the characters and their little querks and the comedy was hilarious xD Style of animation is different and refreshing also.

Morita is awesome. End of.

If she was meant to be ten years old, sure.

She is by far the worst thing about this show and maybe anime, and maybe Japan itself, or maybe the planet Earth? I CANT PICK.

Loved the episode, Morita was absolutely hilarious and I'm lookin forward to seeing the more serious side to him. =D

Hagu's definitely pissing me off as well. WHY the hell does she have to look like a little child when she's supposed to be 18 years old? I don't get it!! o.o And it's ruining the "Guys-begin-to-fight-over-her" situation for me a bit...

Other than that, this looks promising to me =)

18 ? come on Japan you can do better than that.

I`ve heard lots of good things about this show but come on ... I hope that character is only a minor one or comedy relief or something and not part of the whole love game.
If she is i might just drop this ...
It may be just me but i feel kind of bothered by watching college men going after elementary school looking girls , but hey maybe that`s just me being close minded again ~~

OP. Oh my God, the OP.

This has been on my 'plan to watch' list for such a long time...And it was 'Yoru wo Kakeru' (an insert song from the series) that ultimately made me start watching now, haha. The music is very relaxing, I like it.
I love Morita with his crazy laugh and crazy ballet skillz already xD Korobokkur, lol.
Hard to say anything else after just one episode...but I think I'm in for some fun :)

I like Hiroshi Kamiya's voice acting for Takemoto :D He has a nice voice.
I think Morita is really funny, and it's weird that Hagu-chan doesn't talk much =_= She kinda irritates me, also the fact that she is supposed to look like an 18 year old.

Takemoto is sweet by the way, and I like the part where Mayama notices that he's falling in love.

I find the OP kind of freakish, the shrimps scare me.
The art is so-so for a shoujo, but nevertheless good. And then, Hagu showed up and screwed it all. It's not because of her age, but because she moves and talks so... annoyingly.

I like the intro of the episode and I like Mori (his character) but I -really- dislike Hagu, I don't like her style (it's too loli, too innocent, too small and too.. standart? No i'm not only talking about "she's so little how can she be 18)" and her character (she's too shy/quiet/childish) wich coould be a problem for the rest of the anime, for me than xd But I'm now at episode 4 and it's ok.. but I would have prefered a different female main character... I guess xd

Bahahahaha Morita's "Did someone say repeat? No more repeating! No more... no more... no more no more no more NOOOO MOOOOORRREEEE" XD

Hagu better not fall in love with Morita. I'm nervous now.

Anyway, good first ep. Reminds me of Nodame Cantabile a lot, which I expected. Can't wait to finish this :)

Shinobu right off the bat is my favorite, and this seems like an opening and a bit of character building for them all? Or just showing their setting? This is the 4th time I have started this anime and dangit I intend to finish this series!

What a beginning. Easily the funniest 1st episode of an anime series I have seen in a looooong time. Morita is simply amazing at life :-D

And yeah, the fact that Hagu looks about 10 dosn't bode well for the supposed love story in this show...but I'll give it a few episodes to see if it works out, 'cause I'm patient and all that XD

I watched the Jdrama for this a long time ago and really loved it
So I didnt really plan to watch the anime as that feels like rewatching to me
but I gave in. and I'm enjoying it so far ^_^
I remember Mayama was my fav then, but right now I'm liking Morita most.
and what the hell, Hagu was not so tiny in the Jdrama. that is just wrong.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this show yet. It has such good reviews, but so far I feel put off by the first episode. Morita is really the only interesting aspect so far.

When I first watched this episode, I think I end up to 10 minutes because it was boring and I think it's a so-so anime (maybe because I'm trying to find other better anime then I watched bakuman and so on).

But then I watched it again this month and tried to finish it. The art looks old school which I prefer for romance/slice of life anime and Morita is hilarious and the girl with brown hair got my interest.

Sweet show. Don't like the loli theme much, just don't like the idea. But she's still adorable :3

Natsume and Gintoki! <3

So I'll watch this show I guess :D

OP's weird but cool, liked the ED.

Also, not a big fan of the style of the art. I wouldn't be able to watch this continuously if you know what I mean. I think I would start to find it annoying.
