WHOA?! This episode was JACKED UP!!! Haha, I'll keep watching to see how it progresses, but I wouldn't be surprised if I dropped this after two or three episodes.

I will try continuing watching it. I may stop if I think there's no point in continuing. D: But overall, I think the idea of cans is quite unique. @___@

This is crazy. Kakeru is delusional. He needs to get laid so badly.

Suprising, I would say. I originally watched it becaused some blogger called it the worst first episode of the year, but I didn't really see the so bad part of it. This is definitely something I'll continue watching.

Kakeru, it seems, has a bit more backbone than the average romantic counterpart to a tsundere, and he and Melon seem to be good comedic counterweights to one another. It's kinda hard not to like an honestly perverted (and totally over-the-top) pervert. I would probably play this situation in the same way. However, I doubt he'll be stealing home at any point in the show, except maybe with the gay guy.

Soda can turning into a girl... too random and utterly ridiculous. After watching the first episode, theres nothing much to look forward to. Its not very funny and the storyline is just plain ordinary.

I found this anime quite refreshing from others, since the main character is pervert rather than mr. nice guy but inside he is nastier than tentacle hentai anime. And what is better than can girl and some random plot?

I found the main lead to be interesting since he wasn't a shy boy and was actually somewhat funny, and with the exception of the "childhood friend", the girls are quite interesting.

Let's see how the rest plays out.

Seems OK to me, but it's obvious to me that this anime will be all about the side characters. The main lead characters are quite funny tho. I'm looking forward to more of this ^_^

I don't think I could possibly express how low my expectations were for this show, I literally only watched because it was subbed before any of the shows of the season that I'm actually looking forward to. But it was far better than expected, even if it looks like very generic harem comedy (although the soda can gimmick is unusual). As long as the comedy works (and it did), I'll happily keep on watching. I loved the imprint on the closet door, and that it wasn't gone the next time they showed the same setting. And Najimi has a magnificent ahoge!

This is probably some new way of advertising soft drinks... Especially melon flavored kinds?!?! I have actually never even heard of melon flavored soda before -.-

Also, I can so see someone in real life trying to do this. Buying out entire vending machines worth of soda and seeing if some becomes a girl lol!

I was expecting to hate it and possibly drop it but i strangely enjoyed it. I don't think its going to be amazing but im sure it will entertain me, it will most likely be pretty generic aswell. I must say it was quite funny, though really what gave me the biggest laugh was hearing Daichi's voice and instantly going 'JUN FUKUYAMA!'. He really sounds like a silly version of lelouch in this :P well i hope this show won't dissapoint.

I wasn't expecting much from it, but the whole soda can thing, of all things, had me interested.

Even though the animation quality reminded me of something from a cheap hentai from the 90s, I thought the first episode was decent overall. I'll continue to watch just to see how everything progresses.

The creators must be against recycling.

Pure genius, I laughed through the whole episode. I almost closed it down to never watch again during the really crappy intro but as soon as the thing started I fell in love.

Anyone calling this show generic is retarded.

Lol the guy is nuts, reminds me of a Golden Boy for some reason. I almost fell off chair during the reverse crab thrusts.
But this anime looks pretty interesting. A strangely perverted guy with very innocent looking girl + homo director & lesbian schoolgirl? This is win.

Wasn't too bad, but this show looks like it was made back in the early 90's and was lying around and then just now they decided to release it.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

for a bad /stupid concept I found this ep hilarious. our main character is a pervert and I'm glad he's not another shy nosebleeding guy but still kind of hardluck. he's very amusing. Melon isn't the typical annoying Tsundere and I'm lking her so far. the childhood friends reaction had me laughing thinking he liked her. I could of done without that really overly gay guy though.

About damn time they get a main character that isn't afraid to show his balls.

So tired of the main characters always going "Um, uh, eh, well... but, ah, um..." Srsly, about time.

This show is an easy hit or miss. From the moment I heard Lelouch as a pervert, it became a hit for me. I find these kind of anime pretty good, even when they are full of cliché. The only thing that is original is the concept of soda can girls, but I don't care. I get a cute girl, fanservice, and have a good laugh or two on the way. Seems like a good way to pass time.

I honestly expected a bit better from Brains Base, which contrasts with the stupidity I also expected from reading the synopsis. Well, I got the latter, for sure.

The only really big plus is Jun Fukuyama being golden in his role. I am really a fan of his dorky and aloof voice.

This is so atrociously bad that it is hilarious. This might be one of the worst animes I've seen in a long time due to character design, art(when they can't even draw the lines on the logo straight you know you have problems), story and dialogue. This will be awesome to watch just for lolz and see how absolutely stupid and cliche this can get. The character design really is bad though and I have no clue why they did it like that, oh well just adds to the already high ridiculous level in this anime.

I alwyse feel bad for the "childhood friend" in these animes. They are alwyse the ones who know the main character the best, treat them the best, but are never the one "picked" at the end. Plus they usually get interrogated by the other members of the harem in ways to better understand/please the Main character.

Watched it just to see how it was. I didn't watch it with any sort of high expectations.

Overall, it was okay. The concept was, well, interesting to say. That male detective amused me. It had its occasional humor moments, and I wasn't particularly fond of the artwork. I guess I'll continue and see if it gets any better or not.

Dropped... didn't like that main character...

I won't say he isn't a change compared to the usual male protaganists in these types of series...

But reminded more of the weird/perverted friend of the main character... no someone that deserves to be a main character himselfxD

Ugh, I wouldn't want to imagine that character being in any anime that I watch lol. This lead is a fucking baller compared to Ledouche.

EDIT: I'd rather imagine him as his role in Inukami!, liked that one much better.

Some of you are retarded for even attempting to watch this when you don't watch other romance/comedies. Don't even rate it if you aren't into the genre, what were you expecting?

I liked the episode. Animation *IS* passable imo, and the sound seems pretty good so far. That goes for the big four, the opening theme (love it), closing theme (love it), background music (love it), voice acting (love it for the most part). Storyline is a little bit of a spin to a formula that has proven itself over the years, and the characters seem to add to that. People that are putting it to the sword when they have never liked romance/comedies are really annoying.

If you didn't like Dears, Shuffle!, Maburaho, Chobits and the like, do yourself a favor and stay away from these kind of anime's. We don't need unwarranted criticism.

The Poll actually reveals that it has potential. I'm glad episode one is out of the way, so all the people that dropped it can stay away from the discussion threads from now on.

Also it had some fair funny moments lol. The lead male character goes beyond your typical insensitive one.

Funny show. Kinda reminds me of Midori Days cause both are weird in that way. I found the show a little too sick though, but I'll keep on watching. Seems good so far. And why are people complaining about the art? I reckon it looks fine.

Also, seriously, why the hell does Melon even TRY to be nice to the main guy? He's like the worst kind of main character imaginable lol.
