I have been totally won over. Kakeru really is the spiritual successor (if not quite as awesome) to Kintaro Oe. I laughed so hard when he threw his jacket and started stripping. The way he handled the beating was icing on the cake. Competent pervs for the win! I'm still not sure about the whole "battle of the metals" thing, but I'm sure a cast like this (the female mains seem to have good chemistry going) should be able to pull it off.

And the art is perfectly okay. After reading something like Ten, it's all relative. Better anime have had worse animation than this one.

I'm going to give it 1-2 more chances until I drop it... I learned that it is a bad idea to drop anything to early because shows actually do get a lot better if you give it some time.

For me this anime is the worst the Winter season has to offer. How does that guy know that Melon went to the freezer. There's so many questions I have. It just makes me really confused.

I wasn't to impressed. There where some funny moments and the main char (I don't even bother to remember his name...) is a real pervert wich catched my interests a bit. When the girls in his class commented on him randomly taking of his clothes, that was kind of funny.

Animation quality was really bad tho, but I think I will stick to this anime just to see how it will turn out.

The animation quality is really annoying me a lot in this anime ... I just feel like dropping the anime in the end (and this is the first time i considered dropping an anime due to its animation) ... I guess I'll give maybe 1~3 more episodes to decide if I want to drop it or not

Hopefully Brains Base does better on Spice and Wolf Season 2 ... god hopefully that don't mess that up or I'll go crazy >.>

LOL that's what I noticed in it as well. There are so many eyes, ears and mouths out of place in there it's not funny. But oh well, that scene alone isn't going to detract from the whole enjoyment of it all for me.

One of the worst episod i have ever watched. Its not poor animation quality; its simply mistakes of animators - mistakes that should never have place in airing anime. They spent all funds on first episod and have no money on second? Dunno what happend.

Still good after the first episode. Didn't expect a TRAGIC PAST all of a sudden, but then I also didn't expect all that QUALITY either. The art was full of fail, but the story is pretty good.

A little better story, worse art. Really, the best part of the show is taking all the bad sex jokes and imagining Lelouch making them.

The whole plot is just dumb, but it seems I can adapt to retardness because it still entertaining somehow. :)
Still I can't score it too up. :)
I hope they will not get thes tory too serious (with the fights and things) and just stick with light comedy (and more parody). I can't thought seriously about drama which is about juice cans which turned into living girls whom fight for the indecisive goverment who wants to recall the steel or aluminium cans and the winer and her still metalic little friends doesn't get smashed in by the goverment. o.o :)

I'm sticking with this show....if only 'cause of the lesson I learned with Kurogane No Linebarrel. If it looks crappy the first couple of episodes stick with it....'cause these production companies really do want to make money, so if they hear bad things they will make it better.

I couldn't say it better myself. It's good show as comedy (perverted comedy), but as a show with story...well....it would have been dropped after ep1 :)

Okay... something's telling me to drop this.
The Episode was horrible.
Not really funny.
Kakeru's "dramatic" past. Oh come on. That was rather ridiculous.
Oh and not to forget the failing animation.

Oh my god Melon, were you involved in a car crash?

Okay, the ending song for Eps 2 starts out with an American song, but I just cannot put my finger on it. Does anyone else know what this back-beat is from?

I agree that this anime has the quality of a Hentai, but for all it's horribleness... I find the perverted best friend girl character Najimi to be priceless. It reminds me of my High School.

The main male character is an ass, the main female can is an annoying ass, and the loli grape girl is a chibi ass.

If you can stand this anime, more power to you, but I think it is not something that will be remembered in 2 years. (Or maybe it will depending upon how bad it gets)

GOD THIS ANIME IS TERRIBLE

I have to pause every 5 seconds to laugh, fall off my chair laughing, or yell FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

It's unbearable. It's like everything bad about Zero no Tsukaima (which is a good anime in its own respects) taken and made in to an anime. Oh, and they had the audacity to throw in a one piece reference...

He shot the kidnappers in self-defense and then was forced to leave the town! What kind of stupid douchebags are ruling this town? I think his behaviour is just an act, since almost everyone treats him as the bad guy, he can just as well give them the bad guy. Najimi is much more perverted and Yurika is an official bull dyke. And if stupidity and weird behaviour were contagious, the girls in his class need to be quarantined.

This might not seem like much to people but I think i witnessed the funniest moment I've had in an anime in a while.

The scene where the girls talking to Melon in class and bad mouthing Kakeru and "how nobody knows what he's thinking and how he randomly takes off his clothes."

Then the blazer throw then the "You b*tches! How am I weird?!" whilst stripping getting ready for a throwdown. I laughed so hard, dumb stuff gets me easily. I was sold on the series after that.

In terms of story plot this is as ridiculous as that other anime where the guy had a girl on his hand, a literal girl and became his girlfriend. Just knowing the hand girlfriend joke and reference cracks me up and how that actually happened in animation.

I picked up this show while browsing through Hulu's selection. I was in the mood for yet another example of Japanese weirdness, and it seems that I have found one. The concept is absurd, the protagonist is repulsive, and the people around him are rather strange. I'm not certain yet, but I think this series is most likely to turn out mildly successful but flawed (which would get a score of 6 from me). Given that it isn't highly rated, I will be surprised if I find it to be highly successful, and so far it isn't. The animation quality is substandard, and the protagonist, while entertaining in his repulsiveness, is a rather clumsily constructed character so far. I won't drop this series because morbid curiosity makes me want to see where this absurd concept will lead, and I have some faint hope that the show will eventually go off the rails completely and turn out to be a spectacular failure. If so, watching it will be time well spent.

As for this episode, it seems typical of a series like this. Given the strangeness of the concept, it will need a few episodes to make everything clear. Having the soda can start attending school was not an unexpected move; placing her there will make it easy for funny things to happen, as in the freezer scene. I wonder when the first real fight will take place - can to can combat could be really funny if it is done right.
