| I loved NHK but I think I am very far out of the range of appeal for this anime. NHK was thought proking, this just pissed me off. It is basically a romance about adults written for lazy men. I am an outcast because I'm lazy. I just need a supportive woman to fix my bad personality. The crow girl is a manic pixie dream girl, indisputable facts. "She comes out of thin air to give the hero new meaning to his life. She's attractive, energetic, high on life, full of wacky quirks and idiosyncrasies (generally including childlike playfulness). She's inexplicably obsessed with our stuffed-shirt hero, on whom she will focus her crazy antics until he learns to live freely and love madly. The Manic Pixie Dream Girl may be featured as the Second Love, in order to break the character out of The Mourning After. If he's a cynic, her goal may be to convince him that Cynicism Is for Losers!" |

This guys not even a NEET. Don't forget he is actually working for a living. He's just self conscious about the prevailing and unfair stigma about part-timers. I don't see how he's lazy at all. He's not "extremely ambitious". But you aren't automatically LAZY just because you aren't ambitious. If it were true that anyone who isn't extremely career ambitious is lazy, that would just be absurd. |

I can't fathom what kind of mental gymnastics you would go through to say this isn't the product of laziness. This is from the first FIVE seconds.  |

And yet there's Olympic gold medalists who have had messier rooms. Your criteria isn't sufficient for determining whether a person is lazy by occupation. I know of a streamer couple who put in thousands of hours towards live streaming, coming up with challenges, walking tens of miles every day. They work their butts off, but their apartment is messy. You can be extremely proactive and do ALOT, put in a LOT of effort. And have a messy place. So again your criteria needs some tweaking. |

I get the appeal this show has, but ngl, I get lulled due to the numerous tropes and cliches I already see, and that by itself would’ve been fine if the show gave me more to actually care about. I know it’s a seinen show, but I feel like I’m watching 15 year olds, and I’m fucking nearing 30 this year xD |
 |
| Watched it through to the credits... Saw the image of a foot and footprint(sic)... Wondered why this wasn't a "dorama" with actors and sets and all that... Then remembered that I don't watch TV and would've missed this show. Aside from all that, I'm just gonna go with the flow of the story here and see where we end up. As an old 'un it's kind of theurapeutic watching a story about young 'uns trying to come to grips with life. Plus this one is nothing like the other work of the author's which was adapted to anime and I happened to watch. |
leptosome said: Frostycod said: I don't why but I really enjoyed this first episode. I understand people who are not fans of the slice of life genre to be bored by it, but me being a big fan of the genre, this first episode really resonates with me. same. except, I do know why I like it. One reason is that "this first episode really resonates with me". dawg gtfo lmaoo, reading it now you do make sense tho, still |
| oh that was, a really enjoyable first episode. Liked a lot of things about this anime already, but ahhh this anime does show how dark and realistic the future can be, having to think about all these future jobs and subjects is a pain in the ass especially for someone like me who literally has 0 clue what they want to do in the future. The art style for this anime felt very unique and reminded me of water colour paints or a picture book, loving the visual direction a lot. Characters felt straight forward, except Haru who had some mystery around her and probably become a fan favourite of the anime XD really looking forward to the rest of this series |
 "yabe." |
| Just noticed something... They forgot to put the prism marks for the focus.  See here, the round thing in the middle:  They forgot that thing, is with that thing that you know we had focus. Other thing, Rikuo says latter that his camera is "cheap". Maybe, in the mid 90's, but it's not a bad camera, it's a Canon New F-1 from the early 80's, a high end camera for the time. But for what he should be aiming must be inadequate. The camera he'll buy is the Canon EOS-1 from the mid 90's. The flash sync alone must be a necessity for him.  |
 |
| Well, I don't like Haru. I don't like her personality and it looks like that she was forced into the plot. Eh, I'm going to see how the relationship between the two adult characters develops. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Decided to watch after seeing a mention of this title in Nami yo kiitekure discussions. What a let down. Nami is way better. This anime characters are just like highschoolers. |
 |
| Argh this was a painful start. Seems like this will be a painful journey. Rikuo seems like a likeable mc so it's gonna hurt even more. Thou I like this, so gonna stick around and feel the pain. |
 |
| The idea of a seinen slice of life with real adults sounded alluring, but, I don't know, it wasn't exactly boring, but I wasn't really entertained either. Maybe my ADD is acting up or I'm just not vibing with this at the moment. The characters seem nice, though. |

| This is a good start, look who is coming ... I thought the girl who was carrying the crow was a strange girl but it turned out that she was so cute Poor MC at the beginning of the episode had been rejected by the girl he liked. And it seems I Smells triangle love.  |
| This looks good af Why am so late on this lol Finally a SoL that worthy to watch I stand with Haru She's my type |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Haru fell in love very quickly...I mean, it was love at 1st sight and she have been in love for 5 years?! |
 |
| I like Haru better. Hope she wins the triangle. I am a bit iffy about Shinako's character. Getting friendzoned rip. Hope this series ain't all three playing tug of war with each other. Relaxing show. |

| I smell some NTR route on this triangle love shit drama.... That fateful meeting with Haru must be considering as a lucky af encounters while suddenly herself grew such a feeling. I kinda feel bad for myself why i never encountered that shit. Damn my life. Ah, the rejection felt almost blank and had a mixing feels. However, for the sake of the plot, its understandable for making another pairing came closer. Thats it. Damn, HanaKana really fitted with her role. I found her to had such a heart-warming sounds, ever, like usual HanaKana beautifulic voices. Oh, man, my heart hurts a lot. And for the male MC, he had an average look and generic personality. Sorry, it sounds a bit jealousy, or thanks to the art for making me judge that shit. But, thats it, a typical me, still had a lot lucky fate on his life rather myself life. Lmao with my life Okay. Next drama, please |

| annoying, bunch off 18 to 22 years talking about life like they lived it. Also if a young cute girl with a short skirt was all over a guy that guy would bang her in the first day. |

Also if a young cute girl with a short skirt was all over a guy that guy would bang her in the first day. Looks like Rikuo is not that hopeless, not yet anyway. Plus, he is still not through with Shinako. I'm not trying to defend him here BTW, I think he's an example of what happens when you don't have a dream, let alone give up on one. I had high hopes for this anime, but I decided to put it on hold until it gets reviewed. And it got trashed, but since I didn't find anything interesting this season, I'll give it a shot. do you watch anime a lot i need a group that watch anime regularly and discuss it, i need the same internet strangers talking about anime. |
| I feel like the pacing is pretty poor already in this first episode. Can't say I'm a fan of it either. |
| Already rejected on episode 1 lol, fine first episode, Haru is so cute. |
 |
| Nice to se a romance/slice-of-life/drama on young adults instead of the usual highschoolers especially with the amazing crow Kansuke. I root for self-deprecating Rikuo's love to workout with teacher Shinoka despite the rejection (honestly expected this not to happen in the first episode). Also suprised to already about mysterious admirer Haru, kinda get the feeling she may end up as the main girl (which I hope not but let's see) |

| Honestly, some people are too obsessed over work.. Talking so much about it.. And it's even worse, really, that it's a custom to talk about this, whenever you meet someone from school or whatever.. I personally don't care, who works as who.. I'm more interested, what person is finding in life, what is interesting to him.. Why it necessary has to be about job?.. It's like if everyone would ask in such meetings - have you found your religion yet?.. It's annoying that people talk and ask about thing all the time you're not that interested in, really.. Waste of time.. And honestly.. In older age, more meaningful relationships - are actually not the closest ones in physical world.. As it is in school before, where you have to be with same people for many years.. In older age I personally find more meaningful and enjoyable relationships - by interests.. This is what is the most important for me, after all.. ;P So really, many people from the school years - are just a bother, really, when you meet them.. Why would I want to talk with person more, who is not interested in anime at all, for example, when for me it's one of my most important parts in life?.. Too different views, too different things you like.. That's how are random meetings with people from school, really.. Yeah - you can exchange some standard phrases, maybe learn about other classmates or something.. But, really, I'm personally not interested in this at all.. If I'd be - I'd really just contact these classmates, and that's all.. So yeah.. Meeting someone from school years is just annoying usually, really.. People just change too much, have different interests and stuff.. Even if I am able to hold your usual conversation about whatever, maybe even ask about interests and stuff - still in the end the people from school aren't interesting to me usually.. Would I want to continue relating to them or something?.. Of course no, and that's the point.. People drift too much from you, or at least that's for me.. Me having some specific interests, and not being interested in many normie stuff, like travels, movies, or whatever, really.. Well, if you want to get clear answer from Shinako, Rikuo - sure, I think it sounds good of a thing.. ;P Well, I think that indeed getting clear answer is maybe better than just waiting for eternity, maybe hoping that it goes somewhere.. It's not one of those situations, where you just met girl, and you want clear answer.. Nah - you were hanging for a long time, really.. So it's the right thing, really, to make clear - if you want to start dating or not.. If not - oh, well.. Then at least you'll switch to something else in your life, really.. As this is not the only thing in life.. There are plenty more, including other girls, or whatever what is that, what you'd like to do in life.. Also not wanting to live - I think it symbolizes well.. That you don't want to live this life.. Yeah, you'll have to find something else to live for in life, not for these illusions that didn't work out.. Shit happens, but still plenty of things in life to choose from, really.. Yeah, lying, trying not to hurt people - something we do, Haru.. I dislike this as well.. That's why I really don't keep fake relationships as well, yeah.. Btw, didn't we see a lot of photos in Rikuo's apartment?.. His hobby might actually be photos, isn't it?.. Liked the first episode.. Made me think about my relationships I hold now.. And be grateful, really, of which ones I'm choosing now, instead of following some "normal" fake crap, really.. As well as I liked quick development.. Dude just went out and actually got clear answer for himself from Shinako.. Dude, respect for you in this.. ;P |
| Seems very interesting. We have a romance that's not happy go lucky and is a bit depressing. There's going to be a lot of growth with our main characters and I'm looking forward to see how they'll deal with situations as they come. We're definitely going to be smacked in the face with realism and along the way I'm sure some tears may be shed. |
