I'm not gonna complain about the generic part, because the more anime we see the bigger chance that other anime will look generic. Other than generic, the first ep is great and enjoyable. The animation and art looks great, I hope the quality will not drop after 3 or 4 eps, just what usually happen with other A-1 Pictures's anime last year

The first episode was fantastic. The music was also very nice. I was afraid for a second that Masuzu was really going to be that clingy female lead with the clueless male lead combo. Nice redemption at the end. Will watch.

So what, are all japanese highschool boys masochists who liked to be toyed around with by women? because i've seen this setting way too many times.

no self respecting person would just do nothing like that.

anyway, overall it was generic, but the visuals were nice.

For once I can relate with an anime character!!!!!! Eita you earn my deepest of respect!!!!!!!

I'm an anti-love guy at my high school who finds to grades to be more important as well. People sometimes label as gay sometimes even though I find girls to be attractive.

I just don't have the time to invest in love rather wait till I'm older and have more freedom ^^

For a 1st episode , I enjoy it the most during the 2nd half. 1st half was bland but looking forward with this one ^^

Hmm, pretty good if you ask me. I actually expected worse, but this is A -1 pictures. They are good with anime like this, and the animation is great. I also love the creativity of the name burning fighting fighter

Amazing first episode imo. Animation is great as expected from A-1 Pictures. Eita is an awesome male lead, his voice really suits him too. He reminds me of Sorata from Sakurasou when he rages.
Loving Masuzu's character already and Yukari's voice is too good. Great adaptation so far. Gonna love Sundays again.
Also the OP is so colourful and cheerful lol. Yukari singing the ED, aww yeah!

Let's run down a little checklist for Eita:

1. Beautiful girl raised abroad so not constrained by Japanese cultural inhibitions: check!
2. Get's thrill from going nopan in school, probably an exhibitionist: check!
3. Totally amoral, willing to blackmail you to force you to fall in with her plans: check!
4: Says she's not in love with you, then says she is in love with you, makes plenty of physical contact and teases you: check!

Looks like you are in for one crazy ride....

(Actually she reminds me very much of someone I knew in the not too distant past that almost got me into an awful lot of trouble--but it was also a fun ride while it lasted.)
Please don't feed the trolls!

First thoughts after seeing opening="disguised" harem
After finishing episode=This has a bit of potential, although I could very easily see it being wasted. I hope this goes somewhere.
Already feeling bad for Chiwa, I hope she doesnt get left in the dark

Oh great, an ongoing source material. There goes the chances of a conclusive ending.
Well it could happen, but the chances are slim...

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

I enjoyed this episode! It definitely got better as it progressed and I like Eita's reason for being anti-love, as well as Masuzu for picking him for that. Poor Chiwa, though :(

Exceeded expectations.
Then again, the line was set extremely low because I expected another one of those animes with "imouto" in the title...

Male lead isn't terribly likeable, and Chiwa and Masuzu do fall into stereotypes, but none of it actually set off my this "I can't stand this" alarm, and I actually found their interactions pleasantly enjoyable. Masuzu does have a sort of flair to her personality.

If this anime maintains its distance from blatant fanservice, this could be an enjoyable romantic comedy.

well.....that was a pretty solid episode. yes, it's generic but if it's well executed, then it's worth watching

only thing is i hope this show gets less predictable. From what I can see it's pretty much one of those light novel derived rom coms that flood the anime market every season. The main character was appealing at first since he actually had goals(wanted to get into medical school). But then the ending of the episode felt really contrived. Like oh the watchers are supposed to believe he left his embarrassing notebook behind when he shouldn't have brought it with him at the library/bookstore place he worked in the first place.Seriously,everything is like setting up to be really predictable. Oh so the main character is not interested in love. That's actually just temporary. He is going to contradict himself at the end of the show.Hm... can shows be more than just romance because it certainly seems like 70 percent of the shows every season focus solely on romance?

and also, yeah sure masuzu doesn't like eita...why else does she look so happy when she's walking home with him,grabbing his arm, it's hard to believe it's just acting... isn't this all just an excuse just to get close to eita. Furthermore how do rumors of her getting together with other guys become spread around when she doesn't even give other guys the time of day.And going out with eita is going to stop rumors of her? Also wouldn't it make more sense going out with a guy who is on a whole other league than regular guys. Wouldn't that dissuade the other guys from thinking they had a chance with her? She probably has a lot of male friends who are models or something.Damn, why are these animes so gimmicky?

Not bad for a "generic, overly-used cliche elements" anime, as most people refer to. I agree with most people here. The first half is really boring, but it makes up for it in the second half. Even though it gets somewhat boring in the succeeding episodes, I'll still not gonna drop it (Heck, I'm not the type of person who does that). Looking forward to the next episode.

First Episode was good and went better than expected from it.
Cant wait to see how the anime unfolds as more episodes are released.

Only downer was that The song at the start and end had no lyrics/subs.(hope it appears soon)

It honestly feels like a mush up of onii chan, tonari, and chuunibyou.

You have the fanservice-like op of onii chan, your "studybug anti love" attitude from tonari, and that "embarrassing long time ago history" along with a devious popular girl who hides her attitude featured in chuunibyou.

Overall not liking how this is going, but I'll stick with it and see how the ride goes.

Can't judge for the light novel but the start of the manga was way better then this!!
Especially the first scene was out of place i have the say that name sounds even more awful then reading it in the manga tho.
Also got some question marks with the voices but as the episode progressed i thought that Masuzu's voice matched her.
It's also a shame that the didn't focus on the fact that Eita declined Masuzu's offer to walk home with her three days in a row.
Maybe my expectation of this anime where a bit to high.

At first it felt like tonari because of Kitou-> Shizuku and Masuzu -> Haru. But they were both anti-love. I don't know what's up with Masuzu but i'll keep watching this.

Hmmm.. a bit slow. I enjoyed Mayo Chiki which I've heard this compared to, but I think that was a little faster paced in the first ep.

Still, mite B cool so lets give it another couple of eps. I found Btoom really slow at first but loved the last few episodes so let's see.

Interesting episode. So far I like the setting and the story so far. I hope that this anime stays more RomCom than Harem, but looking at this show poster, I´m having worries.

I also hope that this anime doesn´t turns out to be too general. Not too many cliché´s etc and a original story. Aah well we´ll see. So far I´m liking it.

Interesting ep. Masuzu is pretty cute, and I love how they dramatized her taking out the notebook like Death Note lol.

I like the premise of the show, but I think it's obvious that eventually Masuzu will fall in love with Eita and Chiwa will fight over it. Eita will likely break his code and fall in love as well.

Still, I look forward to seeing how it leads to it.
