| Perfect replacement for As Miss Belezebub Likes. This might be better. Good first ep. Stays on the watch list. |
 |
| Finally firat episode its really good the especially opening theme. |
| very fun and often funny largely thanks to how OTT and stylish it is. without that it wouldn't have any impact. i worry it'll wear out its welcome tho |
| I was worried about the adaptation being shit but it's actually decent so far. Also Kaguya's VA was great but it will take a while for me to get used to Shirogane's. Kaguya's "ara ara" and "how cute" was top-notch. |

| i catch myself smiling like an idiot while i'm watching this, if it gets better it could be one of the funniest anime this year |
| I thought the first episode was pretty decent but I worry that if this is what the entire season is going to be then it will get repetitive real quick. The same joke over and over with a slight different spin on it. So no character or plot progression. Hopefully this show has staying power. |

As for what this 12 episodes will adapt, i do worry people might find it a bit repetitive but thankfully even though every chapter still lists them with winners and losers, the actual contents don't always imply a mind game so there is actually a fair amount of variety even early on when the series is much more simplistic but dont expect too too much, cause as i said, the start is still rather simplistic and they are clearly still just trying to figure things out |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
 Kaguya's glare gave me chills XD very deadly! It was a nice episode ^^ I feel curious about the progress of this anime. Can't wait to see how this goes. |

| That was more SHAFT-y than I had expected. It's a fun show overall. Definitely a great adaptation coming from Omata. It has some cool scenes with great animation and technique. 5/5 |

I don't read many manga series but perhaps I'll take a peek into this and see what there is to look forward to. :) |

| always saw so much hype for this i felt like i tried reading this years ago or thought about it and never did but it's a fun silly romcom that did it's job in making me laugh but boy is it busy not in a bad way from the visuals in the op to the show expressing the characters thoughts it's a lot to take in at such a rapid pace lol but it works for them also the VAs are doing a great job. i like the balance of the battles hopefully it doesn't wear it's self out too quickly and this could be a really great romcom |
 |
| I must say this episode has set a great benchmark for the series, it was unique and hilarious to watch. Both of them have too much pride and I like it. I'm really hyped for the next episode. |

| Well, not having read the manga I wasn't expecting this series to be this good. The animation is nothing spectacular, but it's really charming. The characters are fun so far and this "war" between them is both hilarious and kinda cute. I like the designs, specially Kaguya's eyes, and I like the opening is almost as much as Mob Psycho's. I'd say it's my third favourite of the season after Mob and Dororo. An 8.5/10 from me so far. |
*laughs in Dimple*  |
| ARA MA OKAWAII KOTO Yo this adaptation slaps,animation is top tier, op is great narration is on point. Fujiwara's chaos was hilarious, kaguya is so damn cute. Looks like this will great this season |
 |
| Yes! The first episode was awesome. Kaguya: 1 Win 1 Loss 1 Draw Shirogane: 1 Win 1 Loss 1 Draw |
| Not what I was expecting. It's pretty funny but I can already see it getting repetitive. |
 |
| This is gonna be fun and interesting and lots of misunderstanding because both MC boy and MC girl have unwavering pride of their own! to see who's gonna confess first... considering A-1 this is gonna be quite a good ride! 5/5. |
 |
| The moment i saw the PV of this anime i knew it will be a good romcom anime One of the must watch anime this season **pride clap** |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Best Rom-Com of the century. And. Here. We. Go.... |

| Meh. Worst anime I've seen in winter so far. No idea how these weak unfunny old jokes make anyone laugh |
| If they toned down the narration, or eliminated it altogether, it would be a lot better. |

| Can't wait to watch this show for 12+ episodes for nothing to happen in the end :^) |
    |
| I really love this. I didn't have any expectations for it and it turned out amazing. The studio did a good job with the art style and production. |
| Damn. This is interesting. Reminds me of Monogatari somehow. Love it! |

| I'm not usually a fan of comedy anime but damn, this looks pretty funny to watch. The artstyle looks pretty good as well |
| This show is like 80% monologue & 20% dialogue 😂 Also, my brain hurts from watching this, and it’s not like it doesn’t make any sense or anything, it’s kinda just how this show structured... I guess 🤷♂️ |

 |
| This was a great start, better than I thought it would be. A-1 is busy with the mammoth SAO S3, but they still got a solid production staff to make this show visual impressive. Same goes for the animation, too. It had a feel to it like I was watching a SHAFT-animated show, which is a good thing. =) The Opening song also had a nice, retro feel to it and it'll be one that I'll be watching over and over again throughout the season. Shirogane and Kaguya's battles were really amusing and I loved it. Chika's more of an airhead personality-wise compared to the other two, but she still played a big role in the second and third chapters of this episode. She's already overpowered in my mind and I want her to stay like that. =P So a great start overall and if they keep this form up, then any worries of repetitiveness will be washed away from my mind. ^_^ |
| Finally had the time to see it. I was a bit wary of the adaptation of one of my favorite manga, but they've done a real good job. About my only little beef would be that the VA's voices sound a lot deeper than I would have imagined. Makes them seem older than they really are. We got a Hayasaka sighting! Love her character! |

| I should say something about this uhm... ALLOW ME MISTAH OH MISTAH *RANDOM NOISES* Really good episode, with good visuals, different situations and very funny humour this could easily be the best Comedy of Winter 2019 |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| Is this sitcom comedy or romance type of show? Darn it, looks awesome ! |
| I knew I was going to like this anime because I love RomComs but damn this episode was so good! I felt it was different from most other romcoms to an extent. Like in most you as the viewer are waiting for one to ask the other out an be a couple. Where in this it's more like "Okay which one is going to sway the other into asking them out." It's more or less like watching a competition. I'm on board for this one. Plus the animation is fantastic.

That part was so funny. |

| This was fucking perfection. A-1 knocked it out of the park. I was so nervous that they would fuck it up like they did so many else, but they managed to capture the essence of the manga very well. My only gripe is that I can't get used to the fact that Shirogane is blonde. I thought he would be silver-haired. Nonetheless, that's not a negative in the long run. P.S. Can I get this narrator to narrate my life for me, please? |

wildhood said: I bet this anime will feel repetitive pretty fast. Don't. You'll lose. |
| Narrator-kun is definitely the best character there |
にゃんぱす! |
| This was quite the enjoyable episode, especially shirogane was great. |
wildhood said: I bet this anime will feel repetitive pretty fast. Just you wait. It may be "repetitive" in the first chapters but new characters are introduced (included the MVP of the whole show Ishigami) and at some point the story have actual progression and story arcs. |
| Ok, im interested. You got my attention adaptation-san. Also Chika you poor girl stuck with those weirdos xD |
 |
| I was really worried about this adaption, but it seems that was unnecessary. Kaguya seems less cold than she was at the start of the manga, but whatever. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| This is funny. I hope this won't be all about getting the other to confess, and have more moments like the third part of this episode. |
| this really feels like a spiritual successor to last years Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san, and considering that was one of my favourite (if not the favourite) shows of last year, thats a good sign ≧◡≦ really funny and quirky, if it keeps up like this it be really great ^^ |
| They did a brilliant job just like I expected. Relationship between each characters were perfectly portraited. Opening theme song is nice. Animation is perfect for this show. Voice acting performance was spot on. And's totally faithful to the manga. Only if crunchyroll did a better job with subtitles. |
