Good! Very interesting, we finally see some new more unique settings eh?

Miyuki is a more realistic character, certainly a nice change from your conventional nice and perfect shoujo-style male protagonist. This from hate to love relationship is also quite rare to see these days.

I have a lot to expect for this one, especially the fantasy aspect of the show. But, it's still too early to tell.

8/10, a better than expected start for spring season.

Well that one guy is a big prick. Then and now, good thing he, "fell down the cliff." Either way I really like where this is going, hopefully it just keeps getting better and better!


We already know the dad had something to do with him falling down the cliff.


shanimebib: Thank you Captain Obvious:D
Voids:Wouldnt you be a total prick, if one day your dad says: Son,Starting today you going be this girl's manservant and serve her rest of your life. You will leave all your friends behind ,transfer to same school as her and live under same roof. Im not asking your opinion for this matter because frankly i dont give damn.(this part of the reply was also directed to other poster,who obviously didnt think further,why Miyuki acted like an asshole and posted "Miyuki is total asshole,who cares what happens to him") Ok,this doesnt explain why Miyuki bullied Izumiko when they were kids,but least it's not helping!
PS. Even i think Miyuki is total douchebag atm,but i dont think deserves get his ass kicked by his dad...

Miyuki has some serious attitude problems and Izumiko is too timid to like her at this point, sigh, this is not really what I expected when I read the summary. I hope it'll get better soon, it has only 12 (now 11) episodes so I don't know if they can pull this off nicely, of course she'll fall for him in the end but with things standing a they are now I don't see it happen without some hard forced and awkward (in a bad way) romance development >.>

The guy Izumiko likes seems to be a bit strange too, I wonder when he'll join the club

The first episode is pretty interesting and the animation is also good.
I think this is going to be good if they don't force a romance between the MC.

Not a big fan of the MC. The way she kept apologizing for her behavior and said "I also want to change" when people criticized her really got on my nerves. The guy's kind of meh as well, I can already see his dark '2deep4you' past unraveling before us.
And I was really looking forward to this as well -.-"

I agree 100%.

However, there is something important to know about Miyuki Sagara ( 相楽深行 )
that was not made clear in the English subtitles in which the grandfather said,
"Sagara is a mountain hermit." In Japanese, "mountain hermit" actually has a
very specific meaning. He was talking about a "yamabushi" ( 山伏 ).
Here is a Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamabushi

The story does seem interesting at this point, but i do see that Izumiko is a bit bland at the moment and of course we have the douchey Sagara, but all the better if we can see them develop. Also for some reason that water scene in the computer lab for a moment reminded me of Tsuritama's nervous water scenes.

Holy shit, calm down everyone. How come people are scoring the show already? It's only the first episode, characters can't develop that fast.

For Izumiko, it's obvious she's the shy kind of character, so even if she is pissed at Miyuki, she's not going to do a 180 degree character change and voice it all out. Plus she gets bullied a lot at school.

Miyuki obviously has his reasons for acting the way he is. As a kid, he was immature when he threw that ball at her. But guess what? A lot of children in this world are immature, unless they have adults to teach them what's good and what's not, and obviously Yukimasa is not the best parent. I mean who wouldn't be mad if they were suddenly told to be a guardian of some girl that you barely even know, and you have to throw your entire future away for? He's acting like a dick probably because he feels as if everything's unfair. I'd be angry. He's being a dick, but I honestly don't blame him. He'll probably redeem himself later.

I thought this episode was very interesting. I also really liked the scenery and colours, I thought it was very pretty to look at. :) As far as the characters go, I have to say I have a strong dislike for Miyuki. He's just such a jerk! Then again, he acts the way he does because he's forced to live out his life in a way he doesn't want to, which does explain his attitude. I'm still not a big fan of him either way though. >_<

This is exactly how I feel. I agree that Miyuki was a complete jerk in this episode and that's the only part that we can judge him on at the moment, but it's not very hard to see where his anger is coming from. I have a feeling that his character is going to develop very nicely in the future, so there isn't any point in saying that you want something bad to happen to him now (technically, the entire fact that his father is making him Izumiko's "servant" and transfer into her school is pretty bad enough imo.)

Episode 1 was very boring.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

It seems that the story has potential, but I hope more character development. I guess Izumiko and Miyuki improve their personalities (at least the guy).

Well, I've seen several leading men (in shojos) who have unpleasant personalities. Another thing, I think this anime is shonen (at least the manga is for shonen).

Okay first episode, although it felt kind of boring at times. The heroine seems pretty nice, I feel quite sorry for her since (almost) everyone treats her like shit. And what's wrong with everyone bitching about the fringe...? It fits her pretty well.
I liked the ED. Too bad there was no preview for next week, but we'll see.

This reminds me a lot of "Lain"; just replacing the cyber-punk with Japanese myths.

I like the ending song - Masumi Itou makes it sound a lot like the ending theme for "Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita"

I'll give it more tries just to see where it goes.

Feels like there's going to be a rush of information in this series, or none at all. Not very happy with the pacing of that episode.

The ending is kind of annoying...

At least I really like the character designs.

This & Digimon Adventure 02 vibes, with Izumiko being drawn by the ocean, like Hikari did.

Anyway, nice atmosphere, although the story is unclear. And is this really shounen? Feels much more like a shoujo.

I don't really know what to say for the first episode. It was okay and it made me want to watch the second episode whenever it comes out.

But I don't really care for any of the characters yet. A lot of people are complaining about Miyuki but you have to think what he is going through: all of a sudden his father (who he isn't even close to) tells him he is leaving his old schools (where he probably had friends) and go to a new one all to serve some girl (who he doesn't like) like a manservant.
