Haha, it made me laugh. I love the facial expressions; they're simple but strikingly effective. I prefer this over the actual character faces making weird shapes. Ahha, anyone else realize Karasuma moved at an insane speed with what almost looked like no effort? And I love Tenma-chan's little bundles of hair that move xD It's adorable

This is very funny....I can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching it. That ending song is hilarious too...but I can't help but feel a little put down because I'm male. Anyways...this looks like it's going to be good.

The bike chase was EPIC. I especially liked the random part with the CG car and the fast-paced music.

I liked it, but I'm going to need convincing that the humour will be consistent. I am more of a fan of serious anime though, so hopefully this will continue well. =D

That was an Initial D parody, I think.

They both forgot to sign their love letters! LOL

I loved the scroll part that was funny.

and the whole big guy behind the gym. I laughed at the end of that part

and the bike race was the funniest part.

Karasuma was so fast without any effort was what ROLF'd me. xD

I thought this was a stupid comedy too, like most others, but it's absolutely HILARIOUS. I was utterly rofling in the bike scene. I love Kurosawa (I think that's his name...) legs, they're so straight :3

Same.
I wasn't really expecting much, but all of the changed.

Man, I didn't knew what to expect when I saw the art style and the pacing at the beginning, but that show is fucking hilarious :D

Harima is a fucking champ'. I love him already. Tenma is stupidly cute too, they'd make a good retarded couple.

I kinda expected more comments on this series. Oh well.

That was great! I love the comedy! I also instantly love the two main leads, Tenma and Harima. They're great. I can't help but cheer for them. I dont know which shio to ship. It's too soon to say.

Judging from the OP there is going to be some love polygon of some sorts.

Tenma's younger sister is both taller and more mature than her.

I laugh quite a bit. This is gonna be a fun series.

This anime is very funny :) I hoped for some cool romantic romance with romance tearjerking plot, but comedy is also fine ;p

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

Hmm...not too impressed so far. It was ok, but nothing great. I liked the JD character, but the MC girl and her love interest are pretty vanilla.

Was that an Initial D reference? I really loved this first episode, Kenji is my favorite so far. I really like my comedies fast-paced, so this looks promising. And yeah, the bike scene was epic!

This is funny! I like the part where Tenma is talking to her sister and she says "I've been praying about it for 6 months, my horoscope said I'd be lucky in love, I found a four leaf clover, and I fell down the stairs!" and her sister says "Is that last one even good luck?" hahaha I also like the Initial D reference. I've never seen Initial D but I love anime references.

Is initial D that popular in Japan? Or is it just easy to make a reference to because I swear it is the most referenced series behind JoJo.
