| Just watched the first ep. Been waiting this series to be animated, (not much) but slightly disappointed with the animation style. of course I understand, it's not that "mind-fucked" style as Monogatari or Zetsubou sensei. But I wish they just go with normal animation/background/scenery... |

| I don't mind shaft, but the animation in Nisakoi is kinda turning me off. Maybe Il get used to it? |
| I don't hate, I'm disappointed a little, so I definitely agree with you, I also think I'll get it used to it. Did feel awkward-ish.. |

| I'm dead. Don't come looking for me. |
| Want Shaft to be normal? What is this I'm seeing? |
| They're using stylistic gimmicks on this show? From reading the manga, it was nothing but a bland, predictable, cliche, generic and boring harem. Just seems kind of odd. |

| I'm actually disappointed by how tame the Shaft-ish direction is. I wanted it to be crazier, because that's the only way that harems can be saved. |

| I'm disappointed that SHAFT even picked up this. It's like they want to have a flop on purpose because two of their previous works were mega hits. This isn't the type of risk that might be profitable for them. Well I'm just curious to see the manga boost sales. |

But in the end SHAFT made good offer that WSJ can't turn down. Negative-Travis said: IZUMI64 said: But I wish they just go with normal animation/background/scenery...

I'd be happy if other "normal" studio produce Nisekoi, because I knew from beginning SHAFT art style will be look kinda awkward for this kind of anime type |

This isn't the type of risk that might be profitable for them. this. i mean it's not like shaft hasn't had a few flops since bake/madoka, but this is kinda silly. generic romcom harems is not what i go to shaft for. and it's doesnt look like they're doing anything particularly clever with it, looks like they're playing it pretty straight the way the manga was. kinda wish they would have let someone else do nisekoi and picked up something a little more original. this probably won't be terrible, but i don't see it really living up to any of shafts hits. |

I don't think this is truly something Shaft can make their own piece. The source material is really limiting Shaft's potential, honestly. It feels like Shaft's tropes are better than the actual bare bones plot of the series, and I'm just watching it to see Shaft's silly animation. |
| Yes, I'd have preferred non-Shaft style for Nisekoi. They do great things with animation. The quality is high, and they add in those quirky things that make their shows unique ... But this doesn't really fit with Nisekoi's love story. Some people view it as giving service to Nisekoi's alleged blandness. But I think it doesn't match with the atmosphere of the original manga, and I'd have preferred something more Bones-y. None of the characters are eccentric in here (unlike in Monogatari). Nothing supernatural goes on. So while I'm sure Shaft will bring something new to the table, I'm just not sure if that something will belong. |
 |
| Better to be a non-shaft style. I thought A-1 or JC Staff would picked this at that time when they announced that Nisekoi will have an anime adaptation. |

| Not only is it refreshing to see this genre handled differently, but Shaft's animation is still pretty fun. I can see why it would bother some people, but I love the change of pace. Especially considering how the style is different from the manga (I peeked a little). Still, pretty fantastic how Shinbou can maintain his style while keeping faithful to the writing. Guy's a damn genius. |
| I guess I'm not the only one thats kinda disappointed about this. I'm pretty worried that this is going to be another NEGIMA "Shafted" adaptation. |

| I think shaft did a much better job with this one than with monogatari. nisekoi is so much more colorful while all the settings in monogatari were dark and bland. |

Granted I liked it, but isn't going to make it into my most memorable category at all. Besides Erio herself ofc Dayum! Didn't know that Denpa Onna was produced by shaft. That was surprising. |

This isn't the type of risk that might be profitable for them. Well I'm just curious to see the manga boost sales. My thoughts exactly. And their animation style is quite reminiscent of Disney's Phineas and Ferb. And I don't mean in a good way. Really, when I think they could be making Kizumonogatari instead of this, I feel great disappointment. |
 |
| I like SHAFT'S animation, but I do see that a lot of people dislike it. With monogatari, I'd like to think that we see the scenery as the MC would see it. So stuff which are less detailed, are less important to the MC at that time, since he is telling the story, we see it like that. |
| I thought SHAFT's style fit really well, and boosted the effect of some of the scenes. In fact, I think their style is what makes this quite normal romcom actually interesting for me. |
 |
| I find it weird because it's too colorful, but I don't hate it XD |

Nothing really happened. The art style Shaft used for it would have been more appropriate for Nisekoi. |

The Akiyuki Shinbou style ( or is it the Shaft style? ) doesn't really suit this anime. It's not horrible but still a little awkward. It's like the director is trying to make new dishes but doesn't change the sauce. |

| Since I read the manga, I wouldn't have watched it if someone else was animating it. Shaft animating it is the most important factor. The way they handled the animation is perfect. Period. |

| I'm not really a fan of Nisekoi manga itself, so I could care less, but still this anime should've been done by JC. |

| With this genre, that it isn't one of the most unique, I'm actually kinda glad that it is a 'shaft' animation, at least for me it's a completely different and for more enjoyable experience than it would be if it was a 'standard' animation |
| When an adaptation was announced, I was thinking that JC might do this, and it surprised me that it was Shaft. I had doubts, of course, and up until now. Nisekoi deserves a "normal" art style. The anime has only one episode out yet. I say, let time pass by and maybe, you'll get used to the art style. Who knows, at the end of the day, this approach Shaft did is better after all. So far, I don't have any major complaints. It just felt off, that is because it is unusual and not bad. |
| IMO it's the most 'normal' show Shaft ever made, i mean it;s not as peculiar as dennpa onna/monogatari/madoka in terms of animation and angles Monogatari is not for everyone show, it's more strorytelling one that dialogues driven Madoka is...deconstruction of magical girl genre Dennpa Onna is....meh and Nisekoi is....mainstream romantic comedy show IMO well i'd prefer this way, Nisekoi is a very good material and i couldn't imagine if A-1/JC Staff take this......they'll probably just ruining the mood |
 |
| I like it. It gives the anime an extra touch. |
| Well, I don't hate this style, but I don't think it fits the anime o3o |

| I was really hoping on a normal animation, the ''shaft'' animation was a bit strange for me. |
| The Shaft treatment was surprising and in my opinion a bit unnecessary. Nisekoi stood out as a manga for me like Oreimo and ToraDora. Both were animated well and turned into great hits. I don't see why people insist that Shafting a typical romcom makes it "that much better". The Shaft treatment works for shows with lots of meaningful dialogue like Monogatari. What made those shows special was the fact that those shows were more talk and internal thought process than action most of the time. It doesn't work for a typical rom-com, I feel like the characteristics for each character portrayed in the manga seems a bit lacking and dull in the anime after the Shaft process. For one, Chitoge's reactions were way more fun and over-the-top in the manga, after watching her in the first episode I just didn't feel the same craziness which the manga has, she seemed way too controlled. If anything it made her and Onodera's characters a bit more dull than the ones shown in the manga. I'll have to say I would have preferred the "normal" animation to the current Shaft treatment. |

| "I'm disappointed that SHAFT is being SHAFT." |
| Shaft destroy all the good aspects of Nisekoi manga. I think so because seeing the first episode I wanted to scream "what the f--k they do with this?" Is what the manga was funny in the anime just teasing. Shaft destroyed all hope for a cool adaptations of cool light and funny manga, making this rude, boorish and stupid type of anime, what with the title does not work. |
| I didnt mind it at all, I think it would be good either way. |

It was good, but not because of SHAFT. It would have worked fine with other studios too... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The Shaft style animation in Nisekoi is pretty much watered down. And yet fanboys are praising for Shaft being Shaft. How sweet of irony it is... Anyway, there's another reason other than animation style. Shaft has never been good at drama(while JC is pro at it). T3h v1su4l(which isn't even decent in this case) cannot be the salvation at all. I'm sick of Shaft fanboys who've only watched Monogatari series and MaMaMa. |
