Somewhat interesting watch. I liked the mysterious odd vibe from the episode and the syndrome actually seems a lot more interesting than what I initially imagined from the synopsis. Sakuta’s and his sister’s case has piqued my curiosity, so I’m looking forward to seeing more explanation on that on a later note. Who would’ve thought the Bunny girl appearance was actually for a relatively fine reason, to some mundane extent? Op seemed catchy enough too, and likewise with the ED that played in the end.

Can’t say for sure at the moment, but I’ll probably be keeping up with this show.

You should ignore the cover and title of this anime because it's completely unrelated and just a clickbait.

I'm liking the mystery aspect behind the show but I don't know much of what's going on so far. Otherwise a pretty interesting first episode and looking forward to next week's.

I guess it's to be expected that a show like this has a tedious first episode. Has promise I guess, as long as it doesn't continue to overexplain its premise and concept which was immediately understandable.

Looks better than I expected, given that I was expecting a typical LN adaptation.
It's somewhat impressive that they drew every passers-by with such distinctive features (yet the CG movement is still awkward.)
But the lackluster background art irritates me a bit.

That was my first reaction after seeing it, it'd be pretty heavy-handed way of dealing with the matter, maybe creators try to double-cross audience's expectations.

Pretty nice first episode. Ngl based on the synopsis and such it seemed like the MC was just gonna be a beta cuck, but I actually enjoy him and his sense of humor.


Really liked the OST too. Judging by it seems it's gonna be more of an atmospheric approach rather than a light-hearted rom-com

Rundown:

Pros:
- Seems to have a high production value. That's always nice.
- Main character isn't quite as cliche as other MCs. He has some witty lines.
- The mystery has been established and set up nicely.
- Overall, it has a good premise.
Cons:
- Could do without the scene with the little sister in the beginning. Otherwise though, she's fine.
- I feel like we really didn't need to put in 2 additional characters at the very end of the episodes. Could have been saved for Episode 2.
- I don't think I heard any background music, at all. Granted, not every scene needs it, but something would be nice. (Maybe there was some, but I just didn't hear it.)
- The opening, while not bad, isn't all that memorable.

Overall, it seems like a good show. It seems to be aiming for a high school teenage mystery. Reminds me of an (inferior) Hyouka with sci-fi elements.
Episode 1: 7.7/10

Another recent anime that I seem to like a lot more than everyone else, haha. I really like the couple's banter, I find it more relatable than something very pun and reference heavy like Bakemonogatari. You can all accuse me of shit taste now, but I mean it. Even if you speak Japanese enough to truly understand all the dialogue in Bakemonogatari, a show that I do enjoy by the way, the fact is that no one really talks like that and it can become a little exhausting, as everyone makes constant verbal detours just for the sake of being witty. Sometimes, I like to enjoy some honest, believable (supernatural plot conceits aside) conversation with a sprinkle of wry humor.

And here I thought that this was going to be the trashy fanservice heavy romance of the season, what a miss leading title and trailer.

I'm positively surprised great first episode. The only thing I found weird was that no soundtrack caught my attention, it's like the music was non-existent
Reminds me of Oregairu, which is one of my favorite of all time

Quite interesting this first episode, manages to call my curiosity.
Sakuta managed to give an air of mystery to this first episode with his narration.
I did not expect to see the Bunny girl in the first few minutes, the bunny costume looks great in Mai. I really liked Mai, her character and personality, the chemistry between her and Sakuta pleases me, maybe because he can see her when nobody else can do it.
The puberty syndrome call my curiosity, to know these three first cases, the one of Kaede, Sakuta and Mai, I am curious about other type of cases of this syndrome, Kaede´s case make me feel bad for her.
The classmate of Sakuta, the girl in glasses and lab coat I liked her design and personality and i want to see her more.
The last moments of the episode scared me for a second, I thought Mai had disappeared, but Ufff ... thank goodness that did not happen, but this incident gives me indications that Mai will disappear in the distant future (or near, I hope not)

PS: I'm curious about this Shoko that mentioned in the episode, will it be some girlfriend or girl who Sakuta liked ?

So basically if I had to demotivate this premiere with in one short phrase, it would be this: The Poor Man's Monogatari series. Rather underwhelming for a start in my eyes.

First episode was good. I really enjoyed it. It isn't anywhere near perfect, but there is potential here.

I like the art too, which is something special for CloverWorks, who butchered Persona 5's art badly.

I'm pretty sure I noticed music, but it was mostly like ambient atmospheric type stuff.


But yeah, good shit. It would be nice if the visuals were a bit more interesting considering how dialogue heavy everything is, but I'll roll with it.

If this anime is going to be anything like this first episode...holy shit we're in for one hell of a ride. I thought this was one of the strongest first episodes of an anime I have seen in a while. Holy crap I really enjoyed it from beginning to end. The opening was really catchy and if that was the ending theme playing and not an insert song...<333 Jeeze Amazing.

I am really intrigued by Sakuta and how he got them Scars.

It started off with a SNAFU feel (thanks Brain base) and even had the little sister as well, but once they showed what happened to the sister and whats going on with Mai...damn man this show is goign to get deep and I am on board.

watched this by curiosity. Had already heard about it from anitubers. Seen the first episode i think this could turn out good. It has a good vibe and slight mystery for a romcom. Animation was good except the 3D background characters, they thought no one would notice.

This one looks good, and the foreshadowing at the beginning intrigued me quite a bit. I’m looking forward to see where this goes, but I can kinda see it ending in a tragedy. I hope I’m wrong on that. So far it’s caught my interest and we’ll see how it goes from here on out.

This was a really good first episode. The mystery of the Puberty Syndrome intrigued me a lot and I want to know more.

EDIT: Changed my opinion of the OP. The OP's now stuck in my head... Really liking it now~ Can't talk about ED since I haven't seen or heard more of it.

Sakuta is quite a fun MC. He's already making me laugh with his words and actions. I really like his interactions with Mai, to the point that it didn't went stale. Mai is quite an interesting character. Though I need to watch more episodes so I can have a full understanding of her.

Who is this 'Shoko' people keep mentioning to Sakuta? Have to wait for the next episode then.

I heard about the bruises the little sister had because of the syndrome from fans who have read the LN but I didn't know it was that bad. I feel bad for her. I didn't expect Sakuta to have it as well.

People not being able to see Mai saddens me. Especially the fact that she can't buy any food because of it. So glad Sakuta went ahead and bought food for her.

So called the 'bunny girl outfit appearing in one scene only'. I mean, this is more of a 'Comedy, School, Romance, Mystery' kind of thing anyway. Sorry, ecchi fans~

Definitely going to watch this till the end. Hope this and the movie won't disappoint me~

EDIT: Favorite scene of the episode has to be when Mai is poking on Sakuta's scar and he felt erotic, to the point where she starts pinching him really hard~!

The look and feel of the show gave me Oregairu vibes but with a twist of supernatural aspects added in and I loved it

The two leads were great, his two friends are likable and the little sister is pretty cute....This whole Adolescence Syndrome thing is kinda weird but its weird in a good way, and I'm super intrigued to see where they take this phenomenon

Great first episode (Also, I'm shipping our two leads so hard lol)

I think the idea behind this anime is really interesting, and I’m definitely curious and will watch the next episode. There’s not really anything bad about this anime that I can think of, but it’s definitly not something that strongly grabs my attention. I like the characters so far, they’re pretty unique.

But an invisible bunny girl just walkin around? sounds pretty cool to me. interested to see where this goes.

Well, that was dry and boring... What's the point in animating this if they're just going to walk and talk for the whole episode and not do anything interesting? At least with monogatari they change up the perspective and things, but here it was just the same boring crap, and low budget crap at that. I'll give it 3 episodes but I'm thinking this will have the same problems as Sakurada Reset.

Intro song sounded nice.

So we're suposed to forget we have seen a bunnny girl, huh? Oh boy, Sakurajima-senpai, you tease. I like you already. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Joke's aside, I like Mai Sakurajima. Understandable charather. I'm sure you would get sick of everytime people are fangirling over you. I also like the male main charather because I like his attitude. So far he's not cringy like most male main charathers are.

Iether way, first episode was good. The whole "Adolescence Syndrome" thing is wierd and it's also wierd why people are ignoring Bunnygirl-San (that's her nickname for me now, since she don't want to be called 'senpai'') is if she's a ghost, but we'll find out I guess? Little sister is cute too with her bear outfit.

Can I say I enjoyed the first episode? Yes. Let's hope it keeps that way. Looking forward for the second episode of Bunnygirl-senpai Z!

Surprisingly really good.

Setting is quite intriguing especially with the whole Adolescence syndrome stuff. The dialogue is both intriguing and kinda fun at the same time and the characters are great. Already took a liking to both Sakuta and Mai, Kaede is cute and the science girl at the end was cute too. Well well well. XD

Definitely looking forward to seeing how this progresses, I'm not even sure what the story is gonna be like from the first episode but it has me interested.

The parts where Sakuta was moaning when Mai was trying to touch his scar had me laughing. XD

Well, I liked the first episode, so I partially regained my trust in CloverWorks. Supernatural elements are somewhat distracting, but in general I like the similar focus on the dialogues like in Oregairu or Saekano of the same author.

In the end, it reminded me so much of the adaptations of classic school LN, that I'm with you.

hard to shake off the similarities of Oregairu with a added mix of monogatari (or Sakurada Reset. ) , having said that i enjoyed it seems interesting, no idea where it's gonna go besides other girls will also have supernatural abilities

hoping it turns out good really don't want another Classroom of eite's case where MC is Mr perfect kun


OP is great and that cover art is doing this a disservice

I totally agree. Sakuta and Mai are a lot like Hachiman and Yukino, just cranked to 200%. Seriously, the "What the fuck is your problem? Are you on your period?" savagery was just wonderful lmao.

Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the show, it definitely piqued my interest.

Not a bad debut I'm digging the melancholic high school atmosphere and all the teenage allegory. I do like Kaito Ishikawa's voice acting, and while I have seen some range from him he's (ironically) just doing Kei from Sakurada Reset again.

I'm downloading the chapter right now but I still have doubts. Please tell me if this is more like a normal romantic comedy with a little weirdness instead of another basic scholar LN trying to be "serious", dramatic and comical in a very bad balance like Oregairu or Classroom of the Elites.
