I'm officially sold to this anime =P

Another great episode, loved the part where Hanamoto cuts through the door =P
I also wonder what kind of job Mayama does for Rika (maybe something related to her condition).

Another great anime, another closer look at a character, Mayama this time, interesting to find that out about him. Still I'm wondering what Morita's job actually consists of O_O

I'm thinking Morita works like a model or something like that... But who knows xD

I really like that new girl :D She's cute and funny! Mayama's seiyuu is Norita Sugiyama... I knew that I knew that voice XD

Hagu doesn't really do much more than being cute, huh?

For a short moment, I thought so as well. But in the further course of the story, I noticed that they're rather acting like siblings. So, for me, a romantic relationship between those two was soon out of question...=) Maybe you'll agree with that later on? But of course you just have to figure it out yourself =D That's just my impression.

Hagu's pretty annoying. I don't find her very cute.

I like Yamata though, and Morita. I think they should get together.

Hagu is...annoying -.-
But I like all three main protagonists and that's more important. And Yamada, too.
So far, my favourite is of course Morita xD He's just so random.
I also discovered that I love insert songs in anime. Huh.

I sense the start of a very good series here. But I don't understand how Takemoto cant like Hagumi as anything more than a friend. She is both physically and mentally a 10 year old. She might be cute or whatever but that is just wrong. I find Mayama's "wise guy" character really interesting, he is already shaping up to be my favourite character in this series. The female protagonist introduced this episode also seems pretty cool.

Hagu so moe~
was my earlier thoughts.

Hagu is quite the moeblob. But I wish they'd give her a chance to show more maturity aside from her gifted art talent.
Mina Tepes is an adult loli, but at least she acts like an adult loli.

Repeat it with me. An adult, IS AN ADULT, IS AN ADULT, IS AN ADULT.

To say that looks matter when it comes to such a thing, is nothing less than shallow and stupid.

I'm sure she will show some more maturity later on. :)

I got to agree, looks don't matter when you're in love, all that matters is the love and the caring of the person that you love and vise versa with them. :)

It was hilarious when Hanamoto sliced the door. ROFL XD

Yamada's an interesting girl. Morita's random acts are always funny esp. the end. I guess they'll make a good pair. :)

And again, the insert songs are really good.

Dropped,

I found this episode disgusting. For those of you saying that everything is okay cause Hagu is an adult should think about the fact that this is a fictional animated series. They could have told you that she was 8, 18 or 80 and you would just have had to believe it. Hagu IS a little girl no matter what the details say.

Also, regardless of age, Hagu is like a non-person. She barely ever talks! It's like she's just some loli object girl for our characters to lust after.

I started watching this show cause I heard that it was geared towards a different demographic (college age girls who don't normally watch anime) so I was curious to see how it would appeal to them, but this is just loli crap for pedophile apologists. So I'm done, this isn't my thing.

I don't care about any of the characters yet so the drama didn't work.
There's too many short scenes. Hagu hasn't acted her age yet.
Also the comedy is unfunny.

^ To add to that, I hope she attends an exhibit with her works. I'd love to see her explaining to a crowd her feelings when she paints and answer some questions related to her works. Something to show off her gained knowledge instead off just her societal acceptance to being loli-sized.

I liked this one a lot better. I'm starting to laugh more and the love struggles are beginning. I like Mayama's character the best so far. His character design actually reminds me of Aizen from Bleach.

I kinda wish they made Hagu look more like an 18 year old. I get that she's short but she really does look like a doll like everyone has been saying. Also, no development on our main character Takemoto. I wish we knew more about him but I guess they'll get to that.

This series is quickly finding it's way into my heart. The funny moments are funny, and the bittersweet moments are... uh, well... bittersweet. :P

I'm not typically one for romance anime, since all of the ones I've tried to watch have been cheesy and unrealistic... but I feel like these characters are pretty well written, and also well acted. They come across as realistic people, which I like. That also makes it interesting to see them all interact with each other, and how their stories unfold.

It's just a shame the art-style is so generic, but I guess that can't be helped. :P

Shuuji cuts trough the door and was thinking lewd stuff about Hagu/Yuuta since it was too quiet in the room. Turns out Yuuta fell asleep at the sight of Rococo World xD

The only way I can rationalize this show so far is by assuming it's a character study. The story doesn't seem to be trying to get us to connect to the characters. Each episode is months apart. There is no "plot" to speak of...

All that's left is the comedy, which seems to be a "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" game.

Ehh. I don't know.

Yamada is kinda interesting, though.
