I love Hina already, can't wait to see more :D

The animation was absolutely exceptional, even there's no action involved. I would be surprised if they could mantain this level of animation until the end. Unfortunately, the writing was quite weak. The pacing was really fast, the characterization was weak, & the jokes were mostly did not land at all. What a disappointment.


Do you watch anime just to drop them? Seriously, when is the last time you completed something that wasn't a movie?

So far, this kind of reminds me of Alice to Zoroku, if Zoroku turned out to be an actual mobster, like he seemed when we first saw him :)

I think he's only trying out a new show. If the first episode doesn't grab him, then he doesn't have to watch the rest. Not like his arm's being twisted.

A lot of fun and some great animation. I was surprised at how quick Hina literally dropped into his life and he was just accepting of it right away. It was pretty funny tbh. Looking forward to this.

Let's hope it ends up as good as Kobayashi because that's the closest anime I can compare it to regarding the theme /setting

It's not the cutesy genre like kobayashi tho. The great thing about Hinamatsuri is that it has a very misleading start with cliche characters. It then develops into some crazy funny shit.

Great start so far. I like Nitta and Hina's personalities so far. Seems like this will be a promising comedy with some nice SoL moments.

Am looking forward to the next episode.

Hahaha "Sumika's Owie" good ending! The last time I heard the Terminator sound was the release date of Seto no Hanayome episode 10. So nostalgic! ... the heck both are Yakuza theme lol.

What a great first episode. It's one of those animes that i decided to give a try and by now it was totally worth it xD

That moment when she killed those guys was supposed to be so tense but they made it funny, nice switch.

Looking forward to this one.

P.S - That reference! hahaha Terminator :D

Very weird show. Kinda reminds me of old yazuka manga mixed up with supernatural elements (also have the feel of Mob Psycho). Lol. The animation is just fabulous and the way it started especially the first minute will ensure viewers not to drop this show. Really Liking this weirdness aura of this show and the chemistry between Hina and Nitta and curious how Hina develops from here.

Well that was quite a flashy opening. The entire thing was quite easy to watch, and I enjoyed the two MC interactions even if I didn't really find it too funny. Semi-invested in the characters already.

Wowee, that was a really good first episode. Not too sure what to think about the first scene, since it's referring to something I'd be surprised if we got there, but heyho.
Also, I'm happy we got to see Hitomi already. I already cracked up just seeing her. God, this anime's gonna be good =w=.

Hirugiku said:
Pretty interesting to start the story with foreshadowing(3 years in to the future) interesting to see who the girl is gonna be.
I wonder if we'll get there with just one 1-cour season. Because if the anime ends where I THINK it ends, we won't actually get meet her again, I reckon.
Hirugiku said:
Kinda weird how he accepted her so quickly???
Oh you just wait. 'weird' is pretty much the perfect description for most of the things that are going to happen, LOL.
Hirugiku said:
Hina's seyuu is completely new huh? she does sound nice i guess, i can sense that she is weaker than some of the more prominent seyuus tho, but she is doing great, so no complaints :)
O wow, it IS her first role. Well, that's some Doga Kobo level casting here then, because she's giving Hina exactly the voice I always imagined her to have, lol. Hats off to you, new Seiyuu o7.

I'm really liking the new and improved feel. studio, I think. First they gave us the best Original anime of all time, now they're making a damn solid adaptation of one of the most unusual SoL-manga out there. I think they've realized they started off on the wrong foot with anime :p

A great start for this anime! The expressions, comedy, and heartwarming parts from the manga are all well-represented. The background music really helps to accent the mood as well.

It's pretty funny, but the anime left me with an impression, as if I'm watching how a single father finally could start to raise his teenage daughter. But it's extremely cute.

holy crap this was good. Easily one of the standouts of the season. Such a ridiculous, yet hilarious and endearing relationship. Funny from beginning to end, and the animation is quite nice!

Also the ending of this episode lmfao.

Great start to what should be a great anime... Love how she took care of the enemy without seeming to kill anyone. That was a nice touch. Definitely made the watch list (honestly that isn't very difficult with me though.)

Nah, I don't know, I didn't like as much as the majority. Characters are pretty shallow, and comedy is hit and miss. I'll put it on hold for now and wait for the reviews when it is all out.

Got to see, as a fan of the manga, this was not dissapointing. It did some strange thing, the first 20 seconds, for instance, I'm not sure why they showed that now but whatever floats their boat I guess. The animation is much better than I was expecting, and hopefuly it will keep to that standard. Hina and Nitta's voice are unexpectedly very fitting.

Looks like ep2 will be my favorite character's arrival :D

This was so funny! I liked the quick wits after MIna said something crazy. So good.

That opening was interesting...I guess we'll have to wait three years to find out what that is.

The awesome bowl of Ikura scene had me dying!

What a surprisingly good first episode. Hina is such a fun character. Her interaction with Nitta works perfectly. This will be a interesting series to watch with comedy and maybe a more serious topic ( Hina's original world ). Looking forward for the next episode.
