Found this pretty boring. I didn't find any of the jokes funny at all. I can't stand anime where the only thing the characters do is talk for pretty much the entire episode. I will be dropping this one.

This was unexpectedly really funny. The only distasteful part for me was the fact that they're purpose was to see a woman's naked body, but getting past that it was pretty fun to watch. It's really, really vibrant and I like the animation style quite a bit unlike some others. I think someone else mentioned it but it felt so SHAFT like at times. But this is really new for Deen and I quite liked it. Hayama (or is it Hayato? I'll get it eventually) is my favourite as of now.

This isn't what I was expecting at all and I'm a little disappointed... But since it's just one episode a week I'll probably keep at it just as some filler.
I hope it gets better as the series goes on~~ I really want to like it, if that makes any sense

...if the image BBCode on signatures would start working again it'd be greatly appreciated ;~~~;

Expecting it to be bad. Gonna check it out later/tonight.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Brings back memories. I sort of like the animation compared to others this season. Yuushibo wasted their entire budget on boob flicks and others are average. I loved the animation here.

Loved the art style! So colorful and has a nice rythme to it.
I was hoping for a bit funnier but it still had some good moments. And the cool-type guy is pretty neat~ and of course that brother guy was just adorable.
I just hope they stop with the x-ray glasses and get with um, normal glasses-love or something.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I actually LIKE the colours, the real life and comic vibe to this!

The 2 shota's are annoying, and creme puff guy reminded me of... my high school friends when they're high on sugar.

idk, it was weird but I'll give this anime a go till episode 3.

The colors they use for this is really vibrant which is new for me and refreshing as well.
It's kinda weird to see other students drawn like that though. And seeing what their goal is, I don't know how this story progresses.

But overall, it's hilarious that they didn't even notice that there's no female nurses there and how they went up and down from the rooftop to the gym and vice versa. xD

Completely agree. I couldn't stop laughing. I don't really understand why it's getting so much hate. One thing I love is how they aren't actually trying to hide the yaoi undertones (I'm surprisingly neutral about yaoi now) and the characters all adorably dorky and weird. It's going to plotless probably but the animation is really interesting. I'm looking forward to more of this.

Wow. It's been a long time since I've sat through something I found to be completely unappealing in every way from the get go. The characters, the character designs, the humour, the 'plot', the direction/animation style are all too inane/boring. And I hated the music. I'm unable to find the premise even minimally engaging... despite wearing glasses. Will give it another episode but most likely dropped.

Soooooo how about everyone stops b!tching about the fact that this isn't Free! with glasses. I am sure most of us came here expecting this very fact but obviously thats not the case. How about getting over it and judge this show based on what it really is, its own unique plot (if there is any) and characters.
If you came here for the fanservise Yukiya takes of his shirt in order to reduce air resistance I mean seriously how awesome is that xD This is a comedy about perverted guys with glasses and thats all there is to it. ITS HILARIOUS AND AWESOME DONT LIKE IT DONT WATCH
BUT PLEASE DONT GIVE IT A POOR REVIEW OR SCORE JUST BECAUSE ITS NOT FREE WITH GLASSES.

Thank you.

As in "jubilant"? ^^
I jest. Shows with guys marketed towards females are almost always like this, no revolution here, but personally I find the fanservice more bearable and not over the top like in Free!. Now, now, I don't mean to bash Free! but some portions of swimming anime were far too embarassing and cheesy for my taste (swimming suits shopping spree comes to mind). To be fair - Meganebu! is over the top in other aspects, at least in the first episode, but I don't mind.

Ahem.. Anyway I loved Meganebu! Everything was so vibrant and fresh and I love all the characters. I don't know why people didn't seem to enjoy this? It was really cute and funny. Did you really expect this was going to be as serious as Free!? (and that's saying something)

The colours are not that bad. It's just overly bright and uncomfortable to watch, being animated. It was nice as a PV, but as an entire episode, it felt overdone. There were patterns everywhere and random things thrown so much that my eyes darted around, trying to find a target to look at. :P

I came into this with an open mind.

The animation is fine, although I dislike the way they were lazy with the background characters. I understand other animators have done this just like Penguindrum, but as with Penguindrum or anyone else, lazy is lazy.

Don't appreciate the fact that they're basically huge disgusting perverts. It kinda made me unable to like any of them from then on out.

I really hope some character development happens because if the boys are seriously going to be just these huge perverts the whole time then I'm done here.

Alright Meganebu! or at least the show to succeed Free! when it comes to bishies...

Well, the guys here are bishies but when it comes to the homoerotic undertones, No. Personally, I think this show is more like Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. Boys doing and thinking boyish stuff (X-ray glasses to see naked girls...Hmmmm...)

I love the fact that the guys are in a technical school. It's so hard to find a show like that. #EngineeringNerd

The sounds and those one liner lyrics are so lovable. Both OP and ED are really catchy, but I prefer the OP. art style is not a problem for me but I like the fact that it's so colourful... xD

As for the characters, I can't believe that I like them all! I love that they are not as stereotypical as other shows have. Plus two shotas for a show full of guys is kinda rare.

I love the comedy of the show as well... Superb start for the show. More Meganebu! please... xD

I hated it. I hated it so much I'm surprised I managed to sit through the entire episode.

Like a lot of people I expected a knock-off of Free! (I was aware it was going to be different and hoped very much it would be). What I found was a series riding on the style of shows like Bakemonogatari and Penguindrum. I'm not a fan of this style but when it's done well it's quite enjoyable. Meganebu didn't do it well.

The colours were fine. They stood out a lot but it didn't really bother me. The rest of the animation, however, was a pain to watch. There wasn't much animation. It was sort of disjointed, the characters didn't look like they were actually interacting.

The characters were horrendous! We have the main character, the stoic one, the one that likes cream buns(?) and two shotas. Other people like the idea of men looking and acting like hyper sexualised children, but I find it uncomfortable. Especially when that's the ONLY thing about their characters. Maybe one of them dropped wrenches sometimes? And what was the deal with Akira's brother? Why did he climb all over him? Why is he so smitten?

Dropped.

That's what I thought too. It's hard to tell where this series will go, but it's rather fun and I love the art style.

So I guess every male-focused show is going to be compared to Free! from now on? lolanimefans
