DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I thought it's Hori and Miyamura relations, but in the end it's Miyamura and Ishikawa relations (or rather, it's Miyamura's journey to make friends).

Yeah...this left much to be desired, but it has Seto Asami as Hori Kyouko!...which is pretty much the only thing I liked about it. I think they should make an anime adaption of Hiromiya instead (the alternative version) with a new cast (but still keeping Seto Asami as Hori, because she's just awesome.)

Orulyon said: This was the worst adaptation of a manga Ive seen. Too bad because the manga is so awesome. Keep in mind that this is an adaptation of the Original manga series, which was more comedy focused than the alternative version I think you're referring to. http://myanimelist.net/manga/36615/Hori-san_to_Miyamura-kun |

| I don't think it was thaaat bad. It's like tsubasalover said, it focuses more on Miyamura building up relationships and all. You people should remember it's just an OVA, most likely to present a manga which isn't even completed to people who doesn't know it yet. It could have been better, there's no doubt about it. But it still managed to pass some of the same feelings the manga does. And that's probably what they were looking for when they decided to make this low budget animation. |
| The art was bad but at least they didn't change anything. |
| Aww that was nice, never read the original web comic though, only the manga Horimiya. I like how it was from Miyamura's pov, it felt kind of sentimental. I would love it if Horimiya got adapted into anime too. I really liked the ending, when Miyamura looks at his old self sitting in the classroom, and he tells him, "it's okay." |
| I was so excited!! Until I actually watched it.. What a let down. I wish it would be made into a real series.. |
  |
| Not bad at all. It's kind of like a shoujo anime. I think they were a bit lazy with the animation. It could have been as good as Tonari's animation and suited it. Did not expect Kirito's voice as main guy. I felt that it doesn't suit it... But glad to hear Hosoya voicing the other guy. |
| Was better than what I thought it would be. Agree that it would be brilliant if they developed a series for Horimiya. |
| I actually liked the art and the music was pretty nice too - I would like to see this adapted into a full series |

Still don't like it 100% though...art style doesn't sit right with me, especially since I'm so used to the manga... |

| Its an adaptation so I am taking it for what it is. Its cute and simple with worlds of potential if it was revamped into TV similar to Kyousougiga's routes. |

Orulyon said: This was the worst adaptation of a manga Ive seen. Too bad because the manga is so awesome. I wouldn't say so. It was only 21 minutes long and the story still felt full and well paced. A full series would be better ofc but I find this pretty enjoyable |
| That was cute. I wasn't into the romance much the but art style of the characters and their dialogues were fun. This is adapted from an alternate version of a manga I've read. Not too shabby. Reminds me a little of My Little Monster. |
 |
| Why does every character with Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's voice seems cool? *-* |
| I quite enjoyed this. Art style too. Time to pick up the manga. |
| Quite interesting setting I must say, the art style is a bit lacking in my opinion but it does give the series a nice overall unique touch! Either way let's see what the end will provide us! |

| Didn't expected that animation. Well, after a few or so minutes, I got used to it. I'd say if you compare it to the remake Horimiya, it's pretty rushed. Still, if Horimiya actually got a TV series, it would be awesome. |

| Much Art Style. Wow Detailed. Aside this it was very enjoyable :D But you first need to read the manga otherwise it would feel too random and poorly explained. puremine said: I personally think the pacing was pretty fast.Orulyon said: I wouldn't say so.

| Cute... but what was with that art style?! I loved the song at the end though. |
| [size=90]the animation was different from what i expected it to be i think this episode covers chapter 1-10 miyamura is adorable haha >///<  |
  |
| I kinda hate Hosoya Yoshimasa's voice, don't know how it happened when I used to love him so much as Shichika in Katanagatari. Nowadays he just ruins everything for me. :/ I'm so petty, but it's not on purpose, his voice acting just really irks me... but whatever, I guess, he's not even the main character here. I didn't like the episode very much but maybe it's cause I keep comparing it to Horimiya (I've never read Hori-san to Miyamura-kun). It was still cute, though. |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |
| Liked this first episode. The art style is rather.... unique? Other than that, it was pretty decent. |
  |
| The art style is quite refreshing for me. Liked it! |
 |
| Nice start, liked the warm atmosphere and the unique art. |

| the art looks kinda... err.. |

| Only started reading the manga to see their was an animated adaption. Incredibly disappointed in the visuals. Very low quality with lazy and blockly character designs. Not appealing at all compared to the manga's. Miyamura looks barely any different in his school attire than he does his other. Really hard to take it seriously when Hori says his hairstyle looks different when it looks no different in the anime. I don't have any dislikes towards Matsuoka but I don't think he was the best choice for voicing Miyamura, his voice is far too docile, making him sound like the standard weak loser type protagonist. I know they're rushing chapters but I'm disappointed they skipped Miyamura's little talk to encourage the girl Souta was with. The part where he showed her his had tatoo was much cuter than I expected though. Don't remember him doing that behind the window curtain. Didn't hate it but can't say I was fond of this. |
| Loved this first episode. I could endure the art, in fact I found it pretty cute. Minimalistic and presenting a certain harmony, even if it was done with a relatively low budget. The story seemed to be well depicted, and we conserve with this animation what makes this story worthwhile as an animated medium: the slightness of comedic manga adaptations, the willingful suspension of disbelief. A side comment I could make, too, would be that I totally loved the bonding between Izumi and Tooru. Already gay shipping. |
 |
| art & animation aside, this barely scratches the surface. it felt like it was breezing through the chapters. the manga is seriously AMAZING and i'm having a great time with it, if you're watching this OVA & feeling underwhelmed do give the manga a try instead. that ending scene when miyamura was leaving the classroom & leaving his childhood self behind was nicely done! & seto asami's voice suits hori perfectly! ♡ i haven't seen the web comic & i'm aware this is the adaptation of that. decided to watch the OVAs after i saw it being promoted in the manga, the author was being so sweet & humble about it. also the character designs are way nicer in the manga ♡____♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| 2012 Matsuoka is so refreshing to watch... I could imagine Matsuoka being anxious when he was doing this. Really love this episode. Hope for more. |
| Okay. In order before seeing the next year show that have the same title at this one, i am gonna picked this up first. Weirdly decent watch. Thats my first impression over these first episode. Like the recommendation tab, its get the same vibe as Toradora while they got to meet and formed a bond with that certain situations. They even had the same first-four friendship (or even reversed pairings) that unexpectedly really brought back the memories of me, over the dynamic convoluted friendship relations at Toradora. Miyamura already had a calm and interesting personality. He even had quite harsh backstory that became a reason behind his tattoo and ear piercings. Its bring more steadiness into their bonding moments and give a chilling nuances. So far, its had no drama. So, yeah, everything was just be calm. His interaction toward Hori-san and Tooru, somehow quite hit the right point. Its enjoyable. While Hori-san, somehow, still be bland to me. Idk why, but Miyamura character already felt more solid as this first episode went through the end. The pacing felt super fast as an introduction of their first form of bond, not even included a proper introduction of those yellow hair girl. I hope to see more interaction with those yellow hair girl, Yuki. About the art and animation sections, i have no comment. To be honestly, its gave me a 90s vibes while in fact this is a 20s. So, as a rookie i won't give any comment about that. Well, i think thats it for this first episode. Onward to the next episode! |

| Should I have watched the 4 OVAs before the anime adaptation? It's rated 8.6 rn. I mean, the show is good but 8.6? I don't know where all the hype comes from. |
| Now I see how much of an improvement the rerelease is. But still, this art style is kind of endearing. |
