That was so cute, holy crap. It's been so long since I've watched a straight romance, especially one from a Josei serialization. Kind of at a loss for words right now, I just really want to continue watching.

Not really getting the hype here. That was a weak first episode to say the least.


I feel the same here, very disappointed. I came to the forums to see if there are redeeming qualities in the next episodes, but no one makes a good argument.

I stumbled with this series after looking for something similar to Nodame Cantabile, but this isn’t it.

Conclusion. Dropped after 1 ep, or might try the dorama

I remember hearing this one was popular back in the day, so here I am, at 2 in the morning...

I really liked this first episode, actually. I really like the art. The characters are interesting. Definitely going to watch more.

What a weird OP. Hope I'll get used to it soon.

Hagu is too cute, no wonder everyone's falling for her. Also, I have a feeling this anime will break me real bad in the end. Don't know why... It seems lighthearted and funny but something's off - like this bicycle scene. The wheel turning made me wanna cry somehow(

Watching this in 2020.... wow the art style held up so well I am in love with the art and character designs! Except for Hagu, I’m not into loli and she looks like a young doll even though it’s clear from the start she’s a grown girl. Hoping my impression will change of her but her mannerisms are of a kid and it’s not sitting well with me.

Apart from that I REALLY enjoyed the first and second episode! The characters are interesting and the humour is great. The art direction is beautiful, I love the OP ED and insert song, it seems like it’s going to have a really well-written coming-of-age kind of story. I see where one of my favourite anime, Sakurasou, got its inspiration from now ♡

Definitely wasn't what I had in mind when I first found out about the show but I'm curious for more nonetheless.

Hagu being 18 is obviously the big bump, if you will. But I've seen this numerous times done over and over again so it's only about time to acclimatize again, I suppose.

Op and ED seemed fine too. Got to say, the Op visuals seemed really out of place though. But that art-style gives off that stellar classic vibe and I'm loving it!

Came here after I liked Sangatsu and saw a lot of people giving it high scores.
Weird 1st episode with no structure , but I still like that same warm artstyle , let's see what's coming next.

That OP visuals is really weird. Sort of out of place from the art style of the anime.

Aside from Morita, other characters were a little uninteresting but let’s see. The first episode is rather enjoyable.

Man I love this artsyle/Animation, it really reminds of Nodame Cantabile which I also really loved. I like all of the characters introduced & love the comedic moments. I also really like the quote that's used at the beginning and end where the brown haired boy says "How far can I go without turning back?". I think I'll really enjoy this one.

Been wanting to watch this for a while and it’s a pretty good start. I think the art is gorgeous even though it’s JC Staff. Kinda hard to ruin animation for a SOL like this it seems. The amount of great VAs is quite the surprise w Sugita especially. Thank god this isn’t some loli relationship complex or something. OP is kinda questionable though tbh lol

Ayumi kinda hot tho

Someone suggested me this anime and I'm so glad he did. I'm one episode in and so far love it. I'm a newcomer to anime, only getting really into it about 7-8 months ago. So far, I've only been watching newer animes, and don't get me wrong, I love all the ones that I've seen and scored well, but watching this older anime felt like a breath of fresh air. I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

Some additional first impressions:
Voice acting is really great and funny (both sub and dub, and I'm still on the fence on how I should continue watching)
The Art and animation while perhaps dated, has a charm to it that is growing on me.
And love the catchy songs played throughout and the neat opening.

I did not know...

That this classic anime dates all the way back to 2005, although the style certainly fits with that time.

That the opening theme song was a classic hit by my favorite singer, YUKI.

That the music, plot, setting, and style were so different from other anime.

I feel fortunate to have discovered this gem.

No me esperaba que una obra de la misma autora que Sangatsu no Lion fuese tan divertida, eso solo me hace prepararme más para el drama que seguro está por venir.

I really wanted to like this, but there was nothing after the opening monologue that makes me want to keep watching.

why does hagu look 12 and automatically get infantilised upon... so awkward to watch but the intro & opening song is catchy so i will give t a chance again.
