I usually don't judge a show based on the first episode but damn this was boring. I just don't think I can stick with it.

Not bad. It wasn't super funny, but funny enough. Hell, it might have been too cute if anything.

Not my kind of show, but I'll give it another ep or two. The ending was cute even if I saw it coming a mile away. I feel sorry for the big sis, she seems so lonely :(

And wow, a tobacco vending machine!

The episode was a really good starting one. I loved how they were so tired but they kept working. Also the way she is rather addicted to smoking gives it a funny yet aura to it. Onto episode 2

"Bishoujo gao", indeed.

Nobue's voice went all cutesy.

I guess at least she doesn't try to hide it when she copies.

So is it her 20th or her 21st? Hmmm... given that the entire reason they upped her age for the anime in the first place is that it's illegal to drink and smoke in Japan before you're 20 (and therefore, I guess illegal to depict in anime, but not in manga?), I'm thinking 21st. Otherwise, it'd still be illegal for most of the episode.

Heh, a toilet-shaped ashtray.

Characters seem to be ok, but this episode was pretty boring. But that seems to be the case at the start with most slice of life series. I will keep watching.

Could have used some more music I think.

A really good first impression, it's simple and silly. Miu might as well be the star of the show though, she's absolutely hilarious. She sounds a bit like HanaKana at times to boot.

Very promising start. It has clearly defined characters, it's funny, easy to follow and incredibly cute. I liked the part where they were whacking each other with a fan to prevent them from falling asleep. =D

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

Calling a twelve-year-old "A-cup" should be a complaint, especially when it looks like she's a no-cup.

Also, I'm remarkably close to calling the police on the group that ripped this show for tainting its wholesomeness.

A solid first episode imo. My favorite part is when the girls trying to be awake, I can relate and it made me feeling sleepy too (not because of it was boring, but because that sleepy atmosphere was right to the point).

How they're so sleepy after just 20 o'clock.. They are in 6th grade, as they said.. Did I really get to sleep at that time in 6th grade?.. I think it was later.. Though, it was ages ago, I don't actually remember..

I love this first episode so much. What a great way of instantly creating a bond with all these characters through compassion and sympathy.

Re-watching this hilarious show. It's time to refresh my memory and meet these cute characters again. :)

Matsuri is my favorite character. There is just something special about her. She's a very shy and timid girl who have a pretty poor health. You just want to protect her. <3

That ashtray was cute. ^_^

Re-watching this is a welcome experience!~ I hope I haven't said that 'bout another anime I've re-watched yet lol.

One of this anime's appeal is how calm and quiet it is. I'm someone who appreciates silence, but I'm still not just having this as background noise or anything like when I have a video of gameplay of a video game when I'm drawing. I'm actively watching, y'know? Anyway, the jokes are pretty deadpan and this episode is a great introduction to the characters. 

Sweet moment with all the girls making Nobue an ashtray for her birthday

the first episode was a good slow paced introduction one of the things that caught my eyes but wasn't explained was why one of the girls just had a ferret in her bag that she played with, also i like the way that despite this being a cute show about mainly 11-12 year old girls there is alot of focus on the 21 year old sister who has a smoking addiction its rare to see these themes in a show like this which i actually quite like
