Didn't expect anything great and that's what I got. Whole thing is all average, character designs are kinda cute, but shallow as of now. I didn't like Kimikiss, but this may be better. Even though it doesn't really seem like it, I'll probably not end up dropping this.

I'm liking this better than Kimikiss so far and it might be because at least in the first episode, Hatsukoi's made me laugh more than Kimikiss did. The first episode of Kimikiss gave me the idea that the show would be more on the dramatic side. Hatsukoi seems to be more on the comedy side.

I didn't have hight expectations. It seemed like the kind of anime that I would drop after only 5 minutes BUT it turned out to be one of my faves for this season!

The story isn't too special, but it is just the way HOW it is done, that makes it so loveable.


I agree with you completely. It's not top notch or ground breaking or anything, but it's just one of those light-hearted animes of the season that you can watch when you're in the mood for something funny and entertaining.

I was looking forward to this since I like the mangaka who wrote it, and it didn't disappoint. I thought it as adapted well, from what I could remember; or at least better than the Ichigo 100% adaptation went. Beautiful character design, ok animation, excellent voice acting, and good romance and comedy is more than enough to convince me to follow this series.

Most surprising moment was Camel Toe Ayu. I did not see that coming at all.

Do not even compare this to Kimi Kiss.

This anime has no redeeming qualities so far, and I don't know why anyone would be talking it up. You'd think the only decent scene in the anime would be original, but it's not. Hana Yori Dango and even Asu No Yoichi have had similar scenes where the girl gets kidnapped in order to lure out the male lead into a fight. Not impressed at all.

Anyone who is comparing this to Kimi Kiss is drunk. The only similar thing might be the animation, except this animes animation is REALLY ugly to look at, where Kimi Kiss was rendered a lot better. It does not feel the same in the slightest. The characters are all female and different to Kimi Kiss..are all lame and currently have no development... the character intrigue is non-existent so far and they are all stock standard... there is no story except for some "beast guy" wanting to date one of the female leads...Please.

End this comparison madness. Same producers and animation style does not = similar anime.

Unlike some of you I won't be making comparisons, rating and making conclusions on an anime after one episode, but there has been little to enjoy so far.

I still can't believe people actually enjoyed this episode but. Upon finishing it I was certain it would be torn to bits it was that bad..

I was actually expecting for this series to be the worst of the new season. But wow it really surprised me. The whole episode was entertaining. When I read that this series was about her getting confused to by a beast, I had no idea exactly how beasty he would be.

This series definitely has potential, hopefully it keeps it up and runs very smoothly.

Liked it more than I expected, especially the fact that it seems to be completely faithful to the manga looks promising. Both the opening and the ending are nice, too.

Regarding the character development Swiftstylez mentioned above, I suggest waiting for the upcoming episodes. If they follow the manga - which I expect - you'll see that at least the really important characters develop quite a bit.

Swiftstylez: I think you just like drama more than comedy. This seems to be a lighthearted dramafree show with a dash of ecchi and that's what makes it great. It's not trying to be Kanon or ToraDora or Kimikiss.

baka comedy at its best XD

In the first half I thought,oh no another disappointment in this season.
But in the second half I laughed really hard the hostage scene with Ayumi was so funny XD

the girls looked really nice in the ending theme ;)

I started watching this because I was bored, and I didn't have high expectations.

It doesn't seem bad, but not great either. I'll stick with it for few more episodes.

I read most of the manga. I'd finish it, but they haven't scanlated the last two chapters. The episode stays close to the story, so i assume that the rest of the episodes will be the same.

Seems pretty good so far. A few really funny scenes and most of the girls look really good. Loved the part where Ayumi begged her brother for help.

I like the animation and style too - it's clean.

I absolutely loved it! I was giving it a chance but with no real expectations, and what a nice surprise! At first I was like "wow how shallow and immature this girls are!" but then it turned into something completely different. and it's been a while since i've found an anime that's made me laugh so much other than my usual Gintama XD

i have a feeling i'm going to have an all nighter tonight :P

Well I had started this anime forever ago and got caught up doing other stuff so here I am restarting this show. So this episode it seems like it focused on Ayumi and her beast. I actually find him to be creepy but in a sweet way. That was overall a good start to the series, and I have a feeling it will go through all the girls with each episode.

I read the manga a while ago, and loved it. Bout time I get around to watching the anime. The first ep was great and exactly like the manga from what I remember. I'm a little worried though, if they'll be able to fit all of the story into 12 episodes. I see some stuff getting cut out or changed. They'll have to blow through the chapters pretty fast I think.

The OP theme is great, I've been a fan of sphere way before I watched the anime and have listened to "future stream" a ton of times. ED is also good, marble is perfect for singing the ED for shows like this.

Nope, It's romance/comedy.. It just has a huge cast of females.

Shounen anime means that the anime would appeal to a boy audience, not girl.

IMO, this anime's fine for both boys and girls. Seems kinda Shoujo-ish tbh XD But the art style is Shounen-ish

4/5. It was a nice episode and I'm definitely watching more of this.

WHY DID THEY MAKE THE GUY SO FUGLY?! O_o Like no offence, but Misao is really unappealing to look at. :S Please don't pick him, Ayumi.

Character designs are overall, very nice. The girls are all very cute, especially Kei. Damn, Mamoru and Yuuji are FINE. ;D

...I just read character bios. Apparently, we're gonna have a Misaki harem? Jk but srsly, does everyone love her? o_o

I'm rewatching this and almost forgot how great this is. Best reaction to a confession and I love Ayumi's facial expressions. The thugs have to console her, then she frees herself and kicks one thug. Finally she beats the giant. Looks like his undefeated record is broken. And thus began Ayumi's way to become bancho. Or what was this show about again?
