THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Cute show. I think the biggest selling factor is the character reaction/expressions. Koizumi-san really made that ramen look good.
Theme songs are cute. I llike the ED theme song better so far although the OP song is also really catchy.

Definitely had fun with the first episode :D

Not sure about this one the characters where not really to my liking.
Maybe the stoic one had some interesting parts but all the characters seem to be trying to hard to be a certain type.
Well hopefully they will improve a bit next episode, and hopefully the main will calm down a bit.

As if ramen wasn't represented in anime enough, they make anime exclusively about it.

This one was like big advertisment to eat ramen + orgasmic reactions.

The characters are not interesting. The chemistry between them is awful. Eating ramen is getting too repetitive.

I think it would be better if it was a 10 minute or 5 minute series explaining the ingridients of the ramen and finish the story like Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara.

Oh LOL, it was really entertaining, I never expected to enjoy this show that much.
I really liked Koizumi-san, she’s amazing and I love her design.

Also, this show reminds me to a mix between Osake wa Fuufu, Dagashi Kashi and Tanaka-kun!
Nice start!

It was alright but I think it would work better as a short, I really can't see this not getting stale. The fact that I never ate ramen also makes hard to relate to it tbh, but this is more oriented to the japanese viewers in a similar way as Dagashi Kashi.

I don't think I will watch episode 2 for now, I will wait until later in the season to see if maybe people still like it.

For those who complaint about slurping, that's the correct way to eat a ramen. Read More about the proper way to eat ramen.

There are several ways to do a story about ramen. For example: The girls go to a grocery store, purchase the ingredients, make an explanation why it is good for ramen, cook, taste it. This format is too repetitive (order ramen, eat, repeat again the same format, and repeat, and repeat....).

You may think I'm being too harsh, but I can't see myself enduring 12 eps of 20 mins in this format... and I don't judge anime without watch it.

Cute first episode. Koizumi-san really likes ramen and knows a lot about it. She looks so delightful every time she eats. Misa is trying her best to be friends with her, but Koizumi-san doesn't want to. The ramen looks very good.

I didn't know there were two Shoujo-ai shows this season.
The ramen made me hungry ;-;
Is this show just about watching a girl eat food? Ok... I wonder if the romance will go anywhere. It's pretty clear that Yu is in love with the ramen lady.

Wow a weak first episode. Each character was pretty annoying besides the chick with glasses, and so far there was nothing redeeming about this anime besides learning about a few different types of ramen. I'll give it three more episodes for sure.

It's not a bad anime...just not good.

Checked this one out because the OP is cute and catchy. Wasn't really impressed. The protagnist is a pretty good character but I hate the ramen girl (unlikable Tsukuudere). Nothing really happened, just that the protagonist has a baffling fascination with the blonde girl and they keep telling us that she's cute so that the audience feels the same way as the protagonist. Well, I don't find the ramen girl particularly cute or interesting at all. She has the personality of a pool of soggy noodles at the bottom of a ramen bowl.

I'll give it another shot, but if no development happens in episode 2 I'll probably drop. Also it needs to be funnier since the characters aren't particularly strong and the art is average.

PS: Those who are expecting shoujo-ai, forget it. I bet you that it'll be a bit of yuri-baiting and won't go any further than that. The protagonist only say she "likes cute girls" so that she can be an audience stand-in while being a girl so she can naturally have female friends.

In love with the animation, tbh. And first time watching a show which is all about ramen. Bring it on! Hahaha.

I also fancy the OP and ED, btw. It's so cute.

3/5. Will continue watching this. Yuu is adorable (and so gay) alright, I love her. Hahaha. Pffft.

I believe this could have fit as a full length honestly since the first episode was... kinda weak. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it to an degree... but the problem is that these type of stuff wouldn't work that much.

Unfortunately this is one of the weaker stuff of the season as far as releases goes.

Interesting structure so far, seems like we'll get 2 or 3 segments each episode. The contents on the other hand seem fairly uniform and straightforward. Koizumi orgasms each segment over a different ramen while Yuu orgasms over Koizumi. Well lets see if they can manage to keep it interesting through 12 episodes anyway. XD

You can tell the girl enjoys eating ramen a lot. xD

Unlike many people around here, I really liked this first episode. My only concern is that it may become repetitive, but for now I like it and I'll keep watching it.

Got about two-thirds thru the 1st episode and gave up.

Koizumi-san is not a "mysterious and attractive high school student" (as the promo blurbs state), but an average-looking, stuck-up tsundere who deserves to be friendless for the rest of her life. More than half-way through the premier episode and not a shred of evidence of Koizumi-san having any positive or redeeming qualities that would lure me back for a second helping (or even finish the first one).

Not my cup of tea (or bowl of ramen, if you prefer).

This show has no business being 22 minutes. I like the manga, but I felt kind of bored by the show. It's cute, but jamming three stories into one episode doesn't work here. It would have been better if they condensed the size of the episode, because each part is fine in it's own. It just doesn't work together.

I really, really want to eat ramen right now (but no way am I venturing out in this snow storm). I agree with others -- the show just isn't interesting enough to be a full 22 minutes. This would have been a perfect 10 minute show.

I like the ending song.
Also the begininng reminded me of Bungou Stray Dogs' with a character saying things like "I want to eat something".

So it basically is a yuri story revolving around ramen. Okay.
Even though I'm not interested in it plus the fact that I don't eat ramen I'll surely continue to watch it as I sense a great potential in creating memes coming from this show. Gotta work my brain and look for this show's best lines, because Koizumi-san's lines and reactions sure are interesting.

Oh, another anime with a food porn theme in it except this one is all about noodles and it looks like there some yuri going on around here, Koizumi has a stalker.

Shit, no shipantsu?!

Ya know if Yu is as persistent as a lesbian, how come we don't see that in a lot of male MC's?

I don't know how should I explain it, but something about this adaptation felt off. Probably the atmosphere. And the music is so bland. It's a shame because the manga is good - not great, but it's fun to read nonetheless. We'll see how the second episode turns out, but I might not watch it further.

Really like Koizumi, but Yuu's personality is absolutely atrocious. The other girls aren't much better, but the way she just follows Koizumi around and won't stop pestering her, making stupid jokes about horse oil and the like...I'd rather she was cut out altogether.

Kinda boring but let's hope it gets better without needlessly repeating the same all over again.

Now I'm just pretty much impressed they managed to talk about ramen for almost half and hour, really can't even imagine them doing it for 12 episodes without any twist to it.

They had one job, to make her show that it was actually good. But all I saw is a desperate girl shoving Ramen down her throat and calling it tasty.
Just by seeing the OP I could see the cast wouldn't have any interaction between each other and that it would be relying on the Ramen premise alone.
Just the art alone is what is keeping this show from getting lower than a 6, but if the story gets worse I can see it challenging other shitty shows from past seasons.
