Meh , it seems they had a low budget for the animation ...
Also , they skipped waaaaay too much , i liked most of the scenes and found them cute but only because i read the manga , If i'd only watch this ova to get an idea about the manga i'd laugh like hell over the drama and stupid animation ..

Please god let them make a series (a watchable one, if possible) !

lmao, yeeeah, wtf was that? From the perspective of someone who's never even heard of the manga, this OVA didn't make any sense and the terribleness of it catches you by surprise. The best part was definitely Daisuke Namikawa. That man has skills.

Clearly, this OVA is meant for fans of the manga, but I gotta agree with the completely unimpressive animation. *shrug* I might read the manga so this OVA makes actual sense to me. Here's to hoping the next OVA has smut in it or something worthwhile (besides Daisuke Namikawa), lol.

I loved it, even though I was a little confused at first since I didn't read the manga. I think the art is very subtle, not really pretty, but still beautiful in it's own way. The episode itself was really cute and enjoyable for me. I definitely want to see more of this.

OMG they skip a lot of chapters (even though I didn't watch the OVA since everyone said it sucked, so trying not to bother watching it) although the manga was nice (ignoring the smutty stuff) and was really enjoyable.

Not good, but not particularly bad either. It was too fast and didn't feel like a first episode at all. The still pictures looked nice and very shoujo-ish, but overall the animation and art didn't impress me.

I haven't read the manga, but I'm sure it's much better.

I watched the first episode the other day and I was kinda disappointed. They didn't show the part where she cut his hair and it just seemed like the anime was all over the place which was frustrating. Maybe episode 2 will be awesome.

As expected, a manga series turned into a typical low budget shoujo show.

What the hell? Why is everyone so upset? I kinda enjoyed myself. The animation is super, so is the sound AND the ending song. The story was kinda strange though, but wasn't bad either.

It was aweful. I thought I was watching a slide show, it's impossible to figure
out what's going on without reading the manga..

I'd rather stick with the manga, it's WAY better

This would be a big WTF for me if I haven't read the manga.

Because I'm feeling good today, I'm giving this 5/10.

Slide show indeed.I'm very dissapointed. it would have been better if they hadn't done it at all. I think after watching this people who haven't read manga yet wont have any wish to read it

I thought the art was good, but the animation wasn't.

I thought its was pretty good, I enjoyed watching it for real, the drawing is awesome and I like the main chracters
and yeah I didn't read the manga xD as I only read D.grayman just to know how it ends, but I kinda figured out the story and how these two ended up together as she told it briefly at the bigenning of the episode.

I really hope they make a full anime out of it, it looks great <3

Ah, what the heck did I just watch… It was just awful, God. It doesn’t even make sense as a stand-alone.

How mediocre.

...they should have made this into a normal 12 to 24 episode series... thank goodness ive read the manga to understand wut was goin on lol... wut i didnt like was the fact that the episode followed the manga EXACTLY... it honestly felt like i was rereading the manga... i like it wen they change anime a little bit from the manga, otherwise honestly i was bored with this episode, sry.

Indeed it was too fast in the beginning, they skipped entirely the beginning and go straight to the planetarium scene! Since it's been awhile back since i read the series i got a bit confused too, but from then onwards, I was totally pulled into their world..!! So towards the end it was quite enjoyable since i was so immersed in their world (and that confession aww!!). Still, skipping the entire beginning just makes it feel confusing. I suppose this OVA is for those who also read the manga and know what's going on? I don't feel it's for those people who are new to the series. And also there was not as much animation as i thought..

Honestly they could've done a better job on the animation I really loved Kyou Koi Wo Hajimemasu as a manga but the OVA dissapointed me a bit. They should've made a full anime out of this. But I was really happy when it first came out...
That awkward moment when you're watching yaoi then all of a sudden someone walks in...

Geez, people complain about everything these days! Do you even know the difference between OVA and anime series? OVA is generally a BROADCAST FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES. Creators could be encouraging people to read manga or just checking the potential of the material to later turn it into anime series or whatever... Many popular series first appear animated as an OVA, and later grow to become television series or movies.
I read the manga and found this OVA rather beautiful. It followed the creators style nicely with voices that fitted characters and serene music. Yes, it was slow-paced, yes it missed a lot from the manga but AT LEAST IT WAS ANIMATED since a lot of great manga is not.
I liked it and i'm thankful for the effort.
