Haha, what a hilarious episode, Ichiro is such a naughty brat!! I can't believe his parents have to deal with him everyday, especially his mother.

However, I really like that kid!!!

Good first episode, seems like this'll be a fun series to watch.

Btw, this show has probably the weirdest choice for both OP and ED theme. Really, Backstreet Boys? o_O

Backstreet Boys fits the Hanada very well :) Though the first time I turned on the video I thought that I left Youtube or something on. So weird to hear western songs in anime.

I really, really liked this show. The first episode gets it off to a good start. I saw this many years ago and still think of it frequently. It's one of my all-time favorite shows. I'd recommend it to anyone - if it's still available anywhere.

Really nice and pretty funny first episode. I can't believe the Backstreet boys are in this. I'm not fan of theirs, but I admit that it actually creates a nice atmosphere.
Also, despite the simple looking artwork, the animation is great. I had a feeling I'm gonna like this show.

I hear Luffy and Franky...

What a brat. Had to facepalm when he threatened to kill his grandfather. OTL

Oh but I laughed like crazy when he fell into the toliet! I feel mean laughing at a kid. =.="

Surprisingly, I think the OP/ED fit well. Nice SoL feel to it. ;)

Looking back I dunno what to expect, but it was good indroduction, with a unusual artstyle too.
And the OP and the ED, being all english, and Backstreet Boys?! It is soo odd and random, but gives a good mood to the show, it is like it lets the athmosphere of the rural setting get it more into you.

Decided to try the first episode because of the backstreet boys opening lolz.
It really fits with the anime actually.
Really liked that first episode !

Ichiro is such a little shit that all the bad stuff happening to him is actually funny.

Did not expect to hear the Backstreet Boys in an anime.

I love the quirkiness and goofy energy, but I can tell that this will probably also hit me in the feels later down the line.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
