In love with the animation, tbh. And first time watching a show which is all about ramen. Bring it on! Hahaha.

I also fancy the OP and ED, btw. It's so cute.

3/5. Will continue watching this. Yuu is adorable (and so gay) alright, I love her. Hahaha. Pffft.

I believe this could have fit as a full length honestly since the first episode was... kinda weak. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it to an degree... but the problem is that these type of stuff wouldn't work that much.

Unfortunately this is one of the weaker stuff of the season as far as releases goes.

Interesting structure so far, seems like we'll get 2 or 3 segments each episode. The contents on the other hand seem fairly uniform and straightforward. Koizumi orgasms each segment over a different ramen while Yuu orgasms over Koizumi. Well lets see if they can manage to keep it interesting through 12 episodes anyway. XD

You can tell the girl enjoys eating ramen a lot. xD

Unlike many people around here, I really liked this first episode. My only concern is that it may become repetitive, but for now I like it and I'll keep watching it.

Got about two-thirds thru the 1st episode and gave up.

Koizumi-san is not a "mysterious and attractive high school student" (as the promo blurbs state), but an average-looking, stuck-up tsundere who deserves to be friendless for the rest of her life. More than half-way through the premier episode and not a shred of evidence of Koizumi-san having any positive or redeeming qualities that would lure me back for a second helping (or even finish the first one).

Not my cup of tea (or bowl of ramen, if you prefer).

and after watching this thru...its not so much the repetitiveness and the slurping that turns me off...its the heavy gulping that goes along with both that make me consider passing

This show has no business being 22 minutes. I like the manga, but I felt kind of bored by the show. It's cute, but jamming three stories into one episode doesn't work here. It would have been better if they condensed the size of the episode, because each part is fine in it's own. It just doesn't work together.

I really, really want to eat ramen right now (but no way am I venturing out in this snow storm). I agree with others -- the show just isn't interesting enough to be a full 22 minutes. This would have been a perfect 10 minute show.

I like the ending song.
Also the begininng reminded me of Bungou Stray Dogs' with a character saying things like "I want to eat something".

So it basically is a yuri story revolving around ramen. Okay.
Even though I'm not interested in it plus the fact that I don't eat ramen I'll surely continue to watch it as I sense a great potential in creating memes coming from this show. Gotta work my brain and look for this show's best lines, because Koizumi-san's lines and reactions sure are interesting.

Oh, another anime with a food porn theme in it except this one is all about noodles and it looks like there some yuri going on around here, Koizumi has a stalker.

Shit, no shipantsu?!

Ya know if Yu is as persistent as a lesbian, how come we don't see that in a lot of male MC's?

I don't know how should I explain it, but something about this adaptation felt off. Probably the atmosphere. And the music is so bland. It's a shame because the manga is good - not great, but it's fun to read nonetheless. We'll see how the second episode turns out, but I might not watch it further.

Really like Koizumi, but Yuu's personality is absolutely atrocious. The other girls aren't much better, but the way she just follows Koizumi around and won't stop pestering her, making stupid jokes about horse oil and the like...I'd rather she was cut out altogether.

Kinda boring but let's hope it gets better without needlessly repeating the same all over again.

Now I'm just pretty much impressed they managed to talk about ramen for almost half and hour, really can't even imagine them doing it for 12 episodes without any twist to it.

They had one job, to make her show that it was actually good. But all I saw is a desperate girl shoving Ramen down her throat and calling it tasty.
Just by seeing the OP I could see the cast wouldn't have any interaction between each other and that it would be relying on the Ramen premise alone.
Just the art alone is what is keeping this show from getting lower than a 6, but if the story gets worse I can see it challenging other shitty shows from past seasons.

saw this and as i was looking at the time was expecting a short lol this show really doesn't need to be that long with it's setting, it was alright i'm worried Koizumi-san is gonna be this way the whole show even with the large amount of characters in the OP i feel like shes probably not gonna pay attention to any of em



but oh boy looks like i need to eat while watching this, OP is okay really like the ED

Holy shit, this is incredible. Another fantastic anime this season, Thursday is looking to be the best day of the week so far!

Love Koizumi's personality, I'm glad that she doesn't do a complete 180 when she's eating ramen to love everything, she stays relatively cold and only really speaks to talk about ramen. I'm sure her personality may change over the course of the anime, but I'm very pleased with what she is now and a slow but steady change will be much more nicely paced.

And holy shit, Yuu's bubbly, yuri personality is so much fun to watch. Her seiyuu is doing an incredible job.

So happy this is a full-length anime, it would be a crime if it were only a short!

What an amazing hodge-podge of terrible ideas. It's bad enough that the main attraction of the show seems to have no character apart from liking ramen, but the stalker MC is even worse. I never thought I'd find a ramen show so bad that "Ramen Fighter Miki" seems not only appealing but desirable by comparison.

Watching this new show feels like I wanna eat Ramen as well!
Koizumi-san is an elite ramen consumer!
Nice OP was sung by Suzuki Minori from the Macross Δ show.
but damn! i was delightfully surprised that the ED was performed by Shiena Nishizawa! that was very awesome!
4/5.

I thought the same, thought it was going to be a short like Wakakozake and Pan de Peace, but I think they'll give some depth to the girls' relationships and stuff. There must be something to the whole isolation/ramen obsession intertwined so I'll be looking forward to it.

YES. I am glad the first episode ended without major developments to her relationship with Yuu. I mean it's obvious they will all end up friends, even Misa and Koizumi, so why rush it and make it fake?

Plus I didn't know this show was sooooooooo gay. I'm glad.

I wonder if there's actually going to be a story or reason for Koizumi being so cold to everyone. Considering how heavily focused the first episode was on the composition of ramen, I have very little faith that there'll be any kind of actual development, but I'll reserve judgement for a couple episodes.

Kind surprise this series become an anime series so fast because my local comic licensors brought the localization of manga to my country 3-4 months ago and i'd read 2 volumes of it.

In terms of adaptation ,it is a perfect and VERY faithful to the manga. Eps 1 adapt 3 chapters of vol 1 faithfully.

In terms of story, yes, yes it is moeblob with ramen's education,maybe really interesting ramen stuff will be told maybe on next 2-3 episode that make you"WTF!? They have something like THAT on Japan???" . Koizumi's voice is exactly the same voices are in as i imagine in my head as i read the manga 2 months ago. And also all the Yuu's stuff and doing will be story dragging as same as the manga.

That was pretty enjoyable for a first episode. Not sure if it'd work out in the long run, though, but guess we'll see.

Koizumi is pretty scary when she gets in serious mode, lol.

For those who complaint about slurping, that's the correct way to eat a ramen. Read More about the proper way to eat ramen.



Idk why you even watch this though. It's a show about ramen of course they will eat a lot of ramen...


There are several ways to do a story about lamen. For example: The girls go to a grocery store, purchase the ingredients, make an explanation why it is good for lamen, cook, taste it. This format is too repetitive (order lamen, eat, repeat again the same format, and repeat, and repeat....).

You may think I'm being too harsh, but I can't see myself enduring 12 eps of 20 mins in this format... and I don't judge anime without watch it.


Why do you insist on spelling ramen incorrectly?
