----------------------------------------
Japanese girl to Great Britain for homestay meeting British girl who was afraid that they cannot communicate with her bad Japanese. lol (in a cute way). Later that British girl came to Japan, and got fluent Japanese. She is staying with that same Japanese girl now. So that another blond girl is by Touyama-san.

Big assumption = "Tekitou" (sounds different from what I that).

Both OP and ED are cute. Preview is in manga style!

Well, that gave me several small heartattacks. I'd have Alice speak engrish to me all day.

Hello!

Pretty cute. I like how they showed the language barrier between Alice and Shinobu when they first met.

One of my favorite SoL manga. And it is the Yuru Yuri slot for me in this season. I am super super super happy to see it animated !!!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

My poor heart, that entire homestay melted it 10x over, it's too sweet and the classic English countryside setting isn't helping. I'm also glad they adapted the language barrier between Shinobu and Alice.

The OP is the ED and it's good.

This is one of the cutest manga I've ever picked up. Not sure if the anime can be done in 12 episodes without filler, but as long as it's the crowning moments of heartwarming that the series excels in, I'm fine with it.

I read vol1 of the manga and I enjoyed it. However this episode completely exceeded the expectations I had for this show. This not only expanded on the manga content, but also made it even better. I wasn't considering it before but now this could be one of the season's best.

It lived up to all of my expectations.

They also improved the flashback from the manga(although it was funnier in the manga).
I'm not sure if i'll be-able to survive this show. A shame i'll be missing the live-streams each week as it airs way to early.

The intro part was great, especially with the Hello! and Konnichiwa! at the end, lol. I was getting mini heart attacks with the some of the Engrish xD

I guess I need to read the manga now.

As a manga fan I anticipated this, but also worried about anime adaptation because the original manga is so light on the story element, it might fall into just pieces of comedy scene like Lucky Star. Then it came beyond the expectation!

Also one of a few anime episode that using English speaker and correct (at least I think) grammer. It made great effect, especially considering the language gap is so crucial for this episode.

Watching this and Yuyushiki, I feel the evolution of slice-of-life anime style. Konnichiwa-!

There are three volumes and for a SoL work this should be more than enough for one cour (K-On has 4 volumes and was enough for 3 cours of anime). Besides, the 4th volume is coming out in Sept (which means material is already being accumulated for that)

A lot of SoL fans are tipping this manga to shine for SoL anime that would take it to Hidamari level. Not sure if it will succeed but I surely hope it will !!

Been looking forward to this for a couple months. @__@

I read all three volumes and god, this show does not simply rely on the looks of these characters, unlike some SoL shows. I love it.

Ayaya will always be my favourite character. ;o;

This show became one of my highest priorities for summer anime. And I noticed some cute wide faces in this episode, but only for brief amounts of time. At least it happened more than once! :D

Actually, Alice's father was shown quite a few times. I don't recall seeing Shinobu's father though.

WTH, more rorizu.

04:21 sick of her sparkling eyes

05:19 ponies in the rain are even scarier

07:16 poppy's a japanese otaku in disguise

10:36 so far, so WTH

13:29 i'm expecting a tenkousei in her class soon

17:15 LOL detta!

Well, it was cute.
Was worried they'd stay as rorizu for the whole series, thank god.
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.

Wow. I wasn't expecting such fantastic Engrish - if you could even call it that. The only mistakes were tiny pronunciation errors, but that didn't even matter. The language barrier was portrayed pretty well, too. I'm also English, and I thought it looked pretty true-to-life, although I live in a city as opposed to the countryside, so I might not be the best judge.
I'll probably stick with this one for a while.

This. This looks like its a gem for summer 2013

That was cute :) I bet the VAs had to practice their English lines a lot because it sounded pretty good for the most part. Lol at "Japanese girls are scary!" Nah I think Shinobu is just special. I'm looking forward to the introduction of the other blonde girl.

Decent english for once, I could actually understand without subtitles. XD

I shouldn't be surprised by now, but anime high schoolers keep looking "younger" as time goes by (I know that's the whole point of moe anime, but still)

I wasn't even looking at this anime, but decided to give it a try looking through the new season. I really liked the english scenes in the beginning, the language barrier was really authentic. English was surprisingly good.
And if anything, this show is cute, extremely cute. Animation is very cinematic and music is good. It'll be a fun cute show. 5/5

The characters where funny and i liked the humour the Enrish made it even funnier the watch.
Can someone explain to me how the eat the desert...
I also have to praise the detail to English landscape and home it looked very authentic exactly what the English like.

I also have to mention the car if i am not mistaken it was Morris Minor i didn't expect to see one of those in anime.
