So what do you think?
I really enjoyed this episode, it didn't disappoint me in any way. I've waited awhile for it to be animated and now it's here~!
Noto-san is just awesome as Nogizaka Haruka^^
Can't wait till episode two or three where the maids come in, because I really like the cast.

[Moe-Nigga] Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - 01 - [Ah, it's no use...][PRE-Release][XVID-MP3][1B5D912F].avi is out

release info said:
[もえーにっが]乃木坂春香の秘密 第01話 「もう、ダメです…」[PRE-RELEASE][XVID-MP3][1B5D912F].avi
UNOFFICIAL RELEASE - NO KARAOKE, NO LOGO, NO CREDITS, NO TYPESET SIGNS, ONLY STYLED SUBS ON A RAW

There's an issue around 17:01:59 where four lines appear on screen at the exact same time, this is simply because they contain the same Start and End times... this probably happened when a qc went to modify the timing of one line yet, unknowingly, modified the timing of four lines which were all selected... anywho, issue will be resolved in the official release, and of course sexy logo, karaoke, credits, signs, blah blah blah will be in that release... for now tho:

Leech away!

Anyhow, personally, I think this animation is looking really good. That first episode was insane... in a good way... lots of comedy, not over-bloated ecchi/fanservicey stuff like Sekirei, and a very interesting concept for a series. I'm not quite over the Kouta-kun in a girl's body issue just yet, however, I do think these voice actors suit their characters pretty well... hoping that episode two is even more hilarious :)

@shomazta: Yeah, I noticed that, but it didn't really bother me. I mean it was only a pre-release. Good job so far! (also with Sekirei, though red small fonts are a bit uncomfortable, but your translations were better than Chihiro-Ayako's)

Anyway, the first episode was nice. It is good to have Noto Mamiko as main voice. Interactions between the 2 main characters were interesting, though a little bit annoying at times. The 2 girls at home were very annoying, though.

ED was very nice, too.

I am looking forward to more of this.

Hmmm it's much weaker than what I expected, but still pretty interesting. Funny little series with nice characters but I hope it will become better and more complex as the plot develops.

Semi-rip of Hare Hare Yukai. Fuck. I don't need to see more of that. Skipping the ED from now on. I really disliked the way it's animated. BGM was stupid. Most coincidences I've ever seen. OP was meh. Always reminded of Kouta from Kanokon. I was hoping though that we would be left guessing where her phone was, although the cat ringtone was pretty funny. Anything else I didn't mention was pretty much just plain fucking annoying.

This likely won't change for several episodes but I think I'll be able to bear it. 2/5

Personally, I quite liked it. The style of the art is pleasant and the characters seem interesting in their own ways. Also, Haruka's voice actor has done other characters I've liked in series I've enjoyed, so I'm going to stick with it for a while. Whilst it isn't amazing right now, most animes aren't in the first episode, so people should probably view 2 or 3 before making their decision(though personally I wait for about 5 because plots start then, usually).

So yeah; this show's quite cute!

Not exactly what i expected but not bad. Haruka's personality was the complete opposite of what I expected it to be, I thought she was not going to stay so reserved when he discovered her real passion, but o well. Ill watch a few more to see if I'll stick with it.

OMG i see a "cute" yet odd version of revy from black lagoon, someone similar to san from seto, along with a possible hint of combat maids from kamen no maid guy(from the op)

Looks good, and the plot base is a bit different from most animes ive watched, the closest anime would be Genshiken i guess, but this one is different in its own way. Cant wait for the rest of the eps. I see a possible MOE hit in the future.

This series seems to hit home a bit.

The pilot was by no means bad, pretty enjoyable but nothing really exceptional too. A plus point, though, is that no characters outright irritate me yet, which is what I usually expect from a show of this genre.

I'll continue watching this unless something bad comes up.

Very interesting, at first I thought Mamiko Noto wouldn't be a nice fit for Haruka but she was very, very good. Even with Mnemosyne's ending a few days ago I won't have a withdrawal syndrome.

Nogizaka Haruka and Yuuto are a MOE couple! From the looks of it Haruka is of noble status in common society with a good pedigree. Yuuto's sisters are funny but sensei is way too ecchi! I think this be a good romance slash comedy.

Kotomi thinks she's being bullied again, heh.

The animation was pretty good and I can't say I didn't enjoy it. And with a good sub like Moetaku's it was even better. The ED is kinda cute. ^^

I think I read that the ED dancing is based of Otagei... I dunno.

Also, as entertaining as it was, Mamiko Noto sounded a bit weird in her role.

This was really the only thing that caught my eye when I went through the list of new shows, and was checking moetaku all week waiting for it. I wasn't really overwhelmed by the first episode, but it accomplished what I want from a random moe show. Yuuto isn't really likeable so far to me, I'll see how that goes too.

Not bad at all. It was pretty good for the first episode. I do like how they drop a few hints on how there is more to Haruka's need to keep it a secret. Subtle hints though. Overall, it shows promise. ^_^

Actually, the dance in the ED is the Otagei or whatever it was called. I read about it on a blog but I can't find it anymore. It's a famous dance that's kind of become THE dance for otakus in Japan. They're not trying to create a new Motteke Sailor Fuku or Hare Hare Yukai.


Some of you are probably thinking this series is "overly cliché." Personally I think that's perfect for this series. I mean we already know off the bat that she's a closet-otaku, we need more... it needs to me more... how do you say when something is merely copying off of something else? references? Like Hayate and Nagi appearing in a mall scene during Zettai Karen Children xD

was this show based on an eroge or something? it's looking like they plan to replace plot with fanservice :(

also, i didn't really care for the sub. it was awkward to the point of incomprehensibility on several occasions and i can't help but cringe when they translate 'neko mimi' as 'cat eared daughter' >.<

hopefully the series (and the translation) will get better or this series will wind up being a 6 or worse (assuming i don't drop it)

The main character actually looks as if he's not the loser/personality-less type character you usually get for these school life romcoms. Definately want to see where this goes.

Kawaii~overload. Haruka is really cute in the way she interacts with Yuuto. The voiceactress is a good fit also. Looking forward to seeing more off this anime.

The ED dance put me off thou, the dance was badly animated and the moves didn't really fit IMO. It's obvious they tried to copy the 'Hare Hare Yukai' succes.
