from the looks of it, shaft put together 3 chapters to 1 episode, basically around 45-60 pages. with this, we can say that the anime will end at around chapter 90 of the manga. (only if they dont make anime exclusive ending. and also from the looks of the manga, chapter 92 concludes an arc, maybe they will end it there)

Lol at this episode.

The gangster scene where they acted toward Raku and Chitoge by thinking that they were couple was funny.

The best part was Raku'ss and Chitoge's dating acting skill during their date.

Onodera's family ran a bakery shop, I wonder how will Raku react?

It's not SZS style Shaft killed by overusing it in Bake

are you kidding? the vast majority of anime follow the same boring overused-to-death art styles, the art direction in bake was one of the most refreshing things to hit anime in the last decade, as far as i'm concerned.

anyways as far as this episode of nisekoi: i was pleasantly surprised. the first episode felt kinda awkward and clunky, but the art felt a little more fitting here, (possibly because most of it wasn't at the school unlike the last episode? i like the way they're drawing the outdoorsy areas a lot. indoors... not as much. )
the story side was better than i expected too, in an unapologetically-cheesy kinda way.

knowing that there STILL hasn't been any solid progress on the romance front of the manga deters any real investment in the anime for me, but the humor is being pretty well handled so i'll probably continue watching at least for now.

It seems they are following the manga well, hopefully I see 26 episodes or more for this anime, can't wait for the next episode.

Raku's face when his crush showed up was priceless lol

Sadly, it looks like we are heading once again for an ending where the most fitting/destined couple is eschewed for the 'awkward main characters who hate each other but end up falling in love' ending.

I really am enjoying this adaptation very well. That beginning scene with the face off between the gangsters and Yakuza was hilarious. The date made it even more comical and things got better when Onodera appeared out of nowhere.

This shot of Chitoge is so kawaiii!

haha Great episode! The gangsters/Yakuza face off was funny. I have a feeling that things between the two gangs will get interesting later on.
That part with Onodera finding out that Ichijou and Chitoge are a "couple" was hilarious XD I like the part where it goes into a manga, that was really cool.

And the ED is really cute X3 It really focuses on Chitoge.

i agree with everyone on the art at times outside looks great but when they do indoor stuff it looks kinda dark and to serious but they since their still able to capture the cuteness of the girls it's all good.

I guess I can handle Niseikoi being shafted now. It's quite funny like this actually. Especially that they cut down on still panels unlike in episode 1.

And lol at that segment after the ED.

This is so awkward to watch.

A relationship between two tsunderes huh.

Seems to me like people hate Chitoge only because she's female. If Raku was a woman and Chitoge was a guy then they'd be calling Raku a bitch, they're literally the exact same in douche-ness levels.

Nope, they simply hate each other like hell.

And I was really looking forward so much to see this:



I was worried a bit after ep 1 due to animation but looks like SHAFT won't overuse they style like in it (to clarify - I like this studio but I find it quite unfitting to this manga).

Nope, If you read the manga you'd know why people sometimes call Chitoge a bitch. It has nothing to do with male favouritism. That, and Raku isn't a tsundere, he just hates her, and vice versa. But Chitoge definitely is a tsundere.

Ugh... hate to say this but the manga is way much better. This reminds me of the Bakemonogatari series and, in my opinion, does not fits it at all, plus, they skipped a couple of scenes that I would've really loved to see animated :/

I'm all for Raku x Onodera! Seems unlikely though.. :'(
This fake relationship is going to be tough to prove to the others that it's real.. considering Raku and Chitoge's hate.
Hm, getting used to the fact that Shaft is animating this. I don't mind it at all.

Loving the OP!

The art is still giving me that same vibe the gatari series gave me. (DUHH)
Oh well. At least Shaft is doing a great job on this adaption! :D
"There's something in this world that no one has seen before. It is gentle and very sweet. Maybe if it could be seen, everyone would fight over it. That's why no one has ever seen it.

different from any other love com anime.


Besides the art style it's pretty average. Nothing stands out that keeps my attention.

Chitoge is incredibly irritating. I like Onodera much, much more and I feel sorry for Raku having to deal with that bitch when it's obvious that Onodera at least likes him a bit.

really love this anime so far.
the only complaints i have would be the ED and OP

I was really hoping for unique songs and animation for this. just like what SHAFT did with the Monogatari series.

hey remember how cool the ED song for Bakemonogatari looked?

Man, I love this Monogatari-esque animation..

I like the way they portray Chitoge spinning, somehow it's just so fitting. The comedy and awkwardness really picked up this episode and I guess Chitoge isn't really bad when she's showing her "dere" side.

Don't now what people are talking about. This anime is very tamed in the Shaftness department. To me, the animation is perfect. As for the ep, 4.5/5. Felt like 5 minutes :(

You're right on the money, both are in the same level of bitchy tsundere for each other. So if you're going to hate one, HATE BOTH.
