i just realized this...maria is a senior right? so he only has 1 more year left...soo...what's the deal?


No, Maria is one year below Kanako. Maria said she is a "freshman" and called Kanako senpai.

But even if you were right, 1 year in her situation also tough enouch. Poor girl... XD

I rewatched the episode today again and my favourite part (which I watched several times cause I couldn't get enough) is Maria's "DA NE?!" after calling Kanako a homo. The voice is just so amazing and mean. XD

EDIT: Oh, lol, I refered to Maria as "she". XD I won't change my post though, cause it just shows how amazingly good he acts, that I can't help and having a "she" slip out when talking about him.


mm i guess i just go confused since he said he was in his last year of junior high and would be in senior high the next day...

also, i just remembered, upon seeing the pic of the anime before it aired, i actually thought the maid was the guy because she looked more like a tranny than maria was. LULZ.

No, corroded, I did not like the ending song.

It's happy and reminds me of the caraemlldansen, but that's all.


I'll give it two more episodes. If it's still eye cancer, I'll drop it. :)

I think he is overrated... I didn't like any of his works. I found Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei was the worst, even though everyone praises it.


I guess, the reason I like this anime, even though it's directed by him is that it is just based on a good manga, and he didn't success in screwing it up.
With a different director it would still have been good or even better. If an anime that is based on a novel or manga is good, you should also give some praise to the original creator, not just to the anime team.

Wow... just wow. Hell, I'm not even going to admit on my MAL that I watched one episode of this. Crummy art given it's SHAFT, poor musical score, horrible voices, unfunny visual gags, and there is no way I would ever consider continuing a series about a trap who bullies a girl for being a lesbian, especially where it's set up for the lesbian to eventually fall in love with the trap. Disgusting.

Akiyuki Shinbo's always been spotty, but this takes the cake. He totally utterly failed here.

No you should give praise to the director for being able to adapt the story and express it's characters in the way the manga had visioned it. You're basically only saying that because you're expressing a strong sense of hate towards Akiyuki Shinbo and his talents. You can hate him all you want because at the end of the day people are allowed to express their own opinions and thoughts on someone, though it's completely different when you're trying to give people reasons to dislike him when it's obviously not like that.

What is "overrated", and what is "underrated"? It's all opinions, nothing more. Sure, things which people like might be things which you hate, but it's all just opinions at the end of the day, so it's impossible to tell what is good or bad. I try not to think in the way of "good" or "bad", I try to think that they are "different", and different people have different likings. But I do hafta agree that credits do hafta go to the manga team for most anime adaptations, since they're the original creators.

You can't blame him for the story, it's based off the original manga after all, so it's just too bad that you hate it. I'm ok with the art and story, the visual gags are ok, but I'm thinking the music and voices are not so much to my liking. I'm not saying the voice actor's are bad or anything... But something just doesn't fit.

And I read all that crazy shit in front about angel999/slayer545/grandmeister. Stop hating him/them! Doesn't mean that whatever you don't find useful is not useful to others, one man's trash is the next man's treasure. And from what I see slayer545 ain't making as much mistakes as angel999 anymore, so why not just give him one more chance?

This show's story sounded good but from the description but the first PV episode was crap. I'm gonna try and keep an open mind and hope the next few eps get better. I can already see where this is going though. Yuri girl and the cross dressing kid are going to slowly start liking each other and either hook or help each other find a potential mate.

As for angel999/slayer545's posts, not to be rude to them but I think their summaries and excess images are shit.

If you're gonna give a long summary about an episode or a a dozen theory's about something, make it more appealing to the reader. For example, use your own private MAL blog for reviews and just post a link on the thread under whatever short description post you want to say (ex. This episode was bad, I didnt like the graphics and the character's attitudes where generic. Heres a summary of what I thought in full (insert link) ). For theory's use spoiler tags so if they turn out to be right, people wont get pissed later on. Not to mention the text will be shorter on the forums.

By doing these things we don't all have to suffer from the paragraphs of useless text that only a few people actually find useful. And honestly I thought Slayer545 was Angel999 since Angel999's account was banned on the same day Slayer545's started to spam all the shows on MAL in the same way that Angel999's did lol. Is this what will happen in the future? When one excessive power poster gets banned a new one pops up to take their place lol? So sad.

Second half of the episode cracked me up. Maria is an awesome character just because he's such an asshole.

Please quote correctly... Now it looks like Uminekko made my post and I made your post...

I guess that my negative impression of the director that I have made my post sound somewhat too mean. I don't want to tell his fans to stop liking his work.
But you are wrong when you say, that I ONLY reminded to credit the manga author too, just to display my "hatred" towards Akiyuki Shinbo... I don't even hate him. I don't know him. I don't hate people I don't know. °_° I only said I hated that one anime he made. There is a difference.
I ALWAYS think the original creator (if it's a manga or a novel) deserves credit if you like an anime that is based on his works, not just to bash the anime director. >_>

I was pleasantly surprised by the first episode.
During a quarter into it, I thought to myself "OH SHI- I'm watching a yuri series." This is due to myself not looking at the genre or tags.
As the episode progressed, we discover it's a lot more than just an anime with yuri elements....

The first episode was impressive enough to hold my attention, but this was mostly due to all of the "wtf?s" I got.
Even though the jokes were forced, I still found a good bulk of the jokes pretty decent. Though there is a lot of room for improvement.

I'll continue this series just because it gave me a good O_o

I watched the first episode like one week ago but I have watched it just today like three times ? : D I'm just so addicted to Maria's voice when he is not pretending to girl ! Looove it ♥

"you're lesbion !" "you damn pervert !" "it's ridicilous to touch there" "this corcet is annoying" ♥ (I know, all the lines are not the same as on the serie >:3)

I just wanna have the second episode that I could listen Maria's voice more and more !

I thought I was getting a Sayonara Zetsubou Sensie vibe from this. With that said, the art is great, but the animation is terrible. In motion, these characters don't really seem to work. Dialogue was funny, but then again that could be good translation. Though anon's raw was bad, the translation was really well done. I think this may turn out to be a good show. Definitely did better than what I was expecting.

Kanako's interaction with Mariya, knowing he is male is the basic part of the story. That's why it happens right at the start, so it's not happening to early. :)

First half was kinda boring but when Maria started to use his man voice, everything just got hilarious. I'm wondering if the animation is as bad as I think it is or if it's just the raw quality(which is quite possiible). I'm looking forward to where this is going.

Hmmmmmm it was alright, I was bored 90 of the episode though but the pace and feel changed in the end enough that I might watch one more episode to see how it goes. From this alone its not that great even though its interesting in concept. 2.9/5 for the first episode =P

umm.. i wouldn't call this a very impressive first episode for an anime.. the story seems interesting, if somewat weird.. i mean, wat's with the nekomimi loli who refers to herself as GOD?!? ^^;
i've never watched a pure yuri anime before, so this is definitely a new genre for me.. usually i'm interested in fresh and new genres, but this one wasn't really that great.. i also kinda expected that blonde fag was a guy.. cliche..
it felt more like a prologue for a yuri visual novel.. kinda stale at times.. but it's still the first episode.. i hope to see more action..

I really liked this episode and the main female character is hilarious. I got a feeling this will be one of the big hits from winter season. The animation quality is really good also. The scene when Maria shreds the maid's clothes and Kanako gets a nosebleed from the maid her bra was awesome ^_^

Edit: just for illustration ^_^
