Really good first episode, direction was very solid and over average, animation was good except for some few scenes. It's not that funny so far but it's building up pretty nicely.

4/5 so far

I also found it a really great first episode, like Nichibotsu-kaeru said maybe even the best of this season until now. I also doubt Meme is really 39 years old, she looks like she's 25 or something. For those of us who speak Dutch, here's my opinion about the first episode.

Really funny episode. I guess we can nominate Meme for shittiest mom of the year, all years.

but then it was just simple,but then i realized it was perfect the way it was! ^_^

Erio is OK as a character and her voice is kinda cute. However her mom...well...she is disgusting. Almost 40 years old woman who pretends to be a cute schoolgirl or something....bleh...i wanna summon Touma and ask him to punch her in the face.
Some scenes reminded me of other Shaft's works like Bakemonogatari and Madoka.

I have no idea what I just watched. But I like it, I really like it.
It has the SHAFT feel, from the head tilt to the limited animations. Where's my eye closeup though?
Will continue this.

Dat OP.
Dat Meme.
Dat Eriko.

So Ami's a hot MILF while Ryuji and Taiga are in Butei Academy.
And somehow I was reminded of Amano Ginji from GetBackers when I first saw Makoto.

Horrible op, boring ed.
Pretty meh anime.
Hope it becomes better.
But I think this one will end up on my worst of the season list just like Dog Days.

I've never seen such an improbable concept in an anime. Ever. There was absolutely nothing in this first episode so I'm really close to dropping it but I'll watch the second just in case.

A-Channel, Nichijou, Hidan no Aria, SKET dance, Gintama2 and TWGOK2`s 1st ep is many times better then this ones 1st ep.
Even Lotte no Omocha`s 1st ep is better :P

What is better or worse is relative, so bashing an anime when almost everyone here praise it is a bad idea, I guess. Or do it in another comparative thread. Or you just want to troll XD

Anyway,return to the topic, since I already know the persons behind the light novel I guess it's pretty safe to say that this show is another a must watch show for me. However the most important thing, story, will be determined by latter episode,

Art 5/5 (buriki WIN)
Music 4.5/5
Story ?/5 (can't judge anything from1st ep, but this have a lot of clever talks just like in Bakemonogatari and good pre-setting)
SHAFT factor 5/5
Moe 9000++/5

So why shouldn't I watch this?

I think the whole table talk was a waste and a bit boring but Erio is smoking hot in the following,

and I so love to hear her say "Alien, I'm a Alien" I so want to meet the aliens that abducted so I can Falcon Punch them for WTF are they doing to a nice girl like her. I should bring Duke Nukem too for safety. "Come and get some!"

No matter what you say, you cannot deny how promising the landscape is in the following,

it's gorgeous and looks promising. More later.

Uhmm.. very... unique? I think?

...

Erio's... interesting. Luckily we were able to see her without a futon on her head in the end. Oh yes and of course Meme be trolling Makoto really hard through the whole episode. =P

OP and ED were very unique. I don't know if I should like them or hate them. Looks like Makoto does + and - for adolescent points after every episode huh? Pretty interesting. He's trying to be as mature as possible. xD

Yo dude! Been sometime! In regards to OP and ED, IMO OP is fine but ED kills the ears. WTF is up with the song and all. Only thing good is in the spoiler of the end
seriously the ED looks a lot more for kids IMO.

Meme is pure cuteness and I'm glad Erio is out of the futon, she's beautiful. That OP man, it searches for weaknesses in your mind and stays there. I was going to give the episode a 4 if the futon didn't go but since it was removed by Makoto 5/5.


For a 39 year old, meme kinda looks like somebody who is as ditsy as a 14year old and she kinda looks like she could still pass for an 18 year old.

Not to mention strong, my goodness Erio went partially through the wall because of Meme's throw, I wonder where she learned self defense because I would love to learn how to throw someone like her.

The main problem is:

But however strange was this episode, I chuckled a few times - because of the characters. Just... like mother, like daughter - the two of them are what makes me feel like watching the next episode. So... 3+/5 for this episode.

I can't put my finger on this show.

It doesn't feel like Shaft yet at the same time you can see what you normally expect from Shaft. I'm at a loss on this show. Regardless of what it feels like, this was an excellent first episode and I'm sure it will be a hilarious ride.

I missed watching a guy having to deal with an apparent nut case like in arakawa under the bridge (does Shaft like to make anime with nut case girls with alien obsessions?), it's everything you'd expect from shaft nowadays, I'll keep watching Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko as a replacement for arakawa. 3.5/5

I watch anything by Shaft, but this was a lot better than expected.
It does resemble Arakawa, but with a younger cast. The pacing was spot on, I was watching this with a broad grin on my face throughout the entire ep, including the OP.
A male lead who concludes that a girl is so gorgeous, god had to correct it with a huge minus in the brain-department, is win in my book.
And aside from the usual head-tilts, it looks like they've hired an animator with a foot-fetish for this ep :D
