| Ugh, went into this with a bit of expectation and it EXCEEEEDED THOSE EXPECTATIONS!! Wow, this was amazing from beginning to end, don't think i've seen a more likeable group of characters in a while, the anime making story is a cherry on top, Kanamori for best girl and character of the season already. |

| Wow, what a treat. Stellar art and animation. The backgrounds where gorgeous. Such an imaginative, fun, and wacky ride. Op was also amazing. I'm so glad ppl were talking about how good this first episode was in other forums otherwise I might not have missed this. |
| Wasnt planning to watch this because of Yuasa, but whatever. An ok start, what a surprise, looked like it was directed by someone else. |
| :v |
| I decided to watch this, because of the ratings. This seems fun to watch, I like the characters and the comedy. I also like the premise. The OP is actually good and the ED. |
| Hidden Gem of the Season GUARANTEED |
| Blanks. |
| Yuasa back at it again! This was a great first episode I'm definitely gonna enjoy this series. The op is really catchy oh and has anyone noticed that Ozu (character from tatami galaxy) was in the op. |
 |
| So wholesome, cannot wait for the next episode to come out :)) |
| Yuasa saving anime again, sasuga. |
| This is GDT, like CGDCT but without the C. Sayaka looks like Satsuki Kiryuuin. Best thing this season so far. |

| I liked a lot this first episode, it's a very interisting anime ! It change a little bit compared to what I'm usually watching so I enjoyed it :) And idk why but the art reminds me a little bit of Kill la Kill |

| just another show pseudo elitists will watch only because the art style is different from other productions. your standards coudn't get any lower |
| Really strong pilot episode, quite enjoyable. |
| This was the only series I was looking forward to this season and the first episode blew away my expectations. |
ibraheem234 said: a girl interested in Anime so much since she was young she wanted to make her own Anime, characters show up with similar ideals and they start their journey to making one.Wel this was an interesting find.... I am still confused as to what it is about kinda obvious if u focus. |
 |
| This was fantastic! I'm already in love with this anime. I mean how can you not be when it starts by describing how good mirai shounen conan is?!? If only camera panning was a bit slower so that we could fully enjoy the background drawings,it would be perfect!! |
| I was never a fan of Masaaki Yuasa's anime stories but i really loved his art. But I think this show really has something that will hook me up. Really excited for ep 2. Oh the OP and ED are already top notch |
gostosadozap said: Why so much hype on top of that? It's fucking funny and creative too, but is there any reason to be a masterpiece right away? I saw nothing beyond. Because it's directed by Masaaki Yuasa (Devilman Crybaby, The Tatami Galaxy and a bunch of other great stuffs). But yeah, I feel the same mate. |

| It's incredibly refreshing to see a show focusing on high school students who aren't overly sexualized to all hell. Just a pure fun story that keeps you engaged with great characters and superb animation. That's all I ask for in an anime. As always, Masaaki doesn't disappoint. |
RabidFish said: some people don't really care for the more standarized industry set art-style. Gezz, get over yourself. There can still be fantastic shows in those that have more generic styles, but Jesus, I am sooo fucking tired of seeing them. A different style won't guarantee a good anime obviously, but it's still very much appreciated, imo. |
| I wasn't expecting it to be this good, but I reallt love the distinct personalities of the leads, and the way the series shifts in animation style depending on the scene. The comedic beats surprised me too, I actually laughed out loud at some parts which I rarely do in anime. |
| It's only one episode, but i can tell it's going to be one of my favorites this season.. And then i found out Yuasa Masaaki is the director then i understand why this anime so engaging already.. Can't totally wait for next episode..!! |

grotesia said: just another show pseudo elitists will watch only because the art style is different from other productions. your standards coudn't get any lower Im thinking you most likely didnt even watch the whole episode or any of it, as it actually pays a lot of respect to the generation of anime you seem very fond of. Also it’s silly to call people elitist for liking masaaki’s work, when you’re obviously a hipster who doesn’t allow yourself to like anything that isnt vintage. |
Wow, you really got me there. Pointing out that I'm a fan of a great manga is a top tier insult for sure. xD |

| It's like they wanted to see my dreams as a kid come to life. |
 |
| I thought that was a really strong first episode. The animation is really cool, and even though the story is kinda murky, I'm on board! |
| Be happy with what you have to be happy with |
| HO-LY-SHIT This is, by far, the most amazing first episode I've seen in a while. The sequence inside the drawings with all the effects being done a capella, the art design, the soundtrack... It was midblowing. This series reminds me of FLCL in every good way possible with all its fun insanity and clear LOVE of animation. You can tell it has boatloads of passion behind it, it has a soul, an identity of its own and just watching it makes me happy. This is prime AOTS material. Hell, they would have to screw up BADLY the next episodes and throw some serious heavy hitters this year to convince me that this doesn't have a serious chance of being AOTY. Goddamnit Yuasa, first Devilman Crybaby and now this. Stop putting the bar so goddamn high at the beginning of the year man, you are giving other anime a hard time just by existing. |

| no words but this is so far the best episode 1 of the season why is it good- plot characters adventurous/creativity atmosphere animation OP |
| Really great and imaginative first episode. The animation and art style are incredible. I really like the wacky character designs too. Tall girl with the mouth is my favorite character! |
| The story is interesting! The movie they saw reminds me of Ghibli's movie Castle in the Sky. I like their place, it's very unique. The anime they imagine is amazing! it really reminds me of Ghibli. |
