| Well, looks like a generic harem... I'll watch more 2 eps if don't see anything new I'll drop... |
| The text above may contain errors. |
| hmm the character personality is really common and so is their character design.. |
 |
| It was pretty cool how it was making fun of the cliches. Although it did feel extremely generic. I'll give this a couple if episodes and see where this goes. For now 6/10 |
 |
| Saekano, what a surprise! i was thinking the fanservice would have killed it in some ways, but they did it in a way that it's pretty much a commentary on how people only give a shit the boobies and not actual story being presented. this is a very self-aware series, and a very good way to redeem a series with a mid amount of fanservice and cliches. and the one who makes this possible is now easily my new waifu, Utaha. Utaha is love, Utaha is life. now i'm not extremely against fanservice, i just don't like it when its tasteless or takes away from the rest of the show(Akame Ga Kill and Junketsu no Maria). and this is the way i think fanservice should be done, when it takes it straight and doesn't self-destruct the show, instead only twists it to make it an arching exploit(Kill la Kill and Panty and Stocking did a great job with that). this could possibly be my favorite of the season, if it weren't for the rest of the show that i'm hyped up for. |
| Sad it´s look like a total Harem show with no good ending romance. I got fooled to think that the blonde girl would be the Main girl for some reason...to bad.. |
| Felt like it was trying to be to ecchi, what Yahari Seishun Love Comedy was to romance. A sort of parody... but it kind of felt bland and generic which defeats its whole intended purpose. 6/10 for trying. |
llcruz said: I liked this, didn't think it would have fanservice though, but I don't mind at all The art is really pretty too! Art pretty? You like 3dcgi? I hate it. It is ruining anime. Ok characters are well drawn, but rest sucks. Anyway, I liked it, nice special, I hope thet main series will be good. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Pretty good animation in my opinion. |
| This wasn't what I was expecting. The art and animation change from time to time, that art from shigatsu, then those awful 3D hands typing on the keyboard... That fan service came out unexpected, stretching at a hot spring? That... was rather new. And all that talk, was quite funny. Well, we'll see how it goes. |
| Looks good. The 3D is meh but waiting for the first episode. |

Ferax said: -then saw that matsuoka is the main male character... ok this is bad, i dont like that this made me drop the entire show |
| Considering the content, it might just be a OVA-like prequel to give a little introduction of each character in its own distorted way (a warm up!). I think A-1 had a lot of courage to include the content in the first minute, and I'm slightly happy to see they calling their own works as mediocre shit. Ironically, the director previously worked with them in some awful shows, but at the same time he was also involved in some other interesting anime, I think it won't do any bad to expect the show to be a lot better than this prequel. |
| We've been seeing quite a few meta shows, and harem parodies aren't exactly original here, but I'll probably stick around for the girls and the service. (namely Michiru) Also getting a little sick of hearing this seiyuu for male MCs all the time. |
| Forgot to mention, the amount of CGI is atrocious. Hope it doesn't follow into the main series. |
| Well, that was interesting. MC kind of reminds me of TWGOK. I will probavly enjoy the main series, even if this parody was a bit off my liking. |
Be like this seal. It is a happy seal. ~Review Guidelines~ | ~Recommendation Guidelines~ | ~Mafia Society~ |
| I laughed for about 5 minutes at the cg hands. |
 |
| After seeing this ecchi filled episode, those who are into ecchi will be disappointed with the main series. But those who are into rom-com (and drama), are in for a good ride. I am #TeamMainHeroine. |

(namely Michiru) Also getting a little sick of hearing this seiyuu for male MCs all the time. it's getting quite tiring hearing it multiple times every season. though i kinda liked it i take it the share amount of fan service was just for the sake of the ova i dunno music girl or kato best girls so far just like her zero fucks given attitude about everything |

| Heh... better wait for the actual episode 1 Looking at the title of the ep, it might be safe to assume that this level of fanservice is only temporary Not I'm complaining though, the fanservices are well done and sort of appropriate for the scenes |
| dropped at CGI hands |
 |
| Heh, I thought I was the only one tht didnt like the Mc Va. Another harem, ... the girls arent so bad. Drop |
The higher I get , The lower I'll sink. |
| Meta, such a standard MC. I like the artstyle though. I have a feeling this won't go anywhere special. 40% chance of a kiss scene by the end of the anime. |
 |
| TFW didn't notice Matsuoka voiced MC. Random/Pointless fanservice. Sneak the information in as the character's dialogue...wow just like how this anime is doing the exact same thing right now so funny...yeah no. Extremely average episode,will give the actual anime a few episodes before deciding to drop but seem like this isn't going anywhere. |
| the very first scene can be made into a very good gif |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Looking forward with this series, hope it turns out good |
| Tch. |
| Nice prologue, it was really fun. And that girl with a big name is best girl. Btw, i don't think the anime will have all this fanservice, this is just a parody guys , you can stop complaining now... |

| meh. |
 |
| This is a very meta and modern show in today's anime. Follows the tropes seen in a bunch of other shows a little too well, but having briefly looked at the light novel, this could easily be its aim. The light novel seems to be popular enough in Japan having gotten this anime adaptation and a PS Vita game. Came for the promise shown by the author of White Album 2, will stay to see if it delivers. |
| That was nice. i like it. |
| At first I thought there couldn't be a more generic harem 1st episode than Absolute Duo. After watching this, I know how wrong I was. And I do not buy the self-aware anime cliche jokes while the anime itself is full of cliche. It's like making a bad game but it's fine since the game itself fully aware of how bad it is. ghosts said: From some of the conversation in the first part, I'm hoping this was meant to be more of a self-aware jab at fanservice specials rather than an indicator of the upcoming series. Let's hope so. |
| I like anime. |
| I enjoyed that, the opening is nice and the animation is also good! I think I'll keep watching this one ^-^ |
 |
| I wasn't expecting to watch this, but after a series of events here I am. The fourth walling leaning was somewhat amusing during the first conversation (it actually sounded a lot like a conversation on MAL), but quickly lost its charm. I'm not particularly into ecchi anyway, but the meta humor was very dry and not-amusing. If this was trying to appeal more globally, I don't think it worked. Eh. What to do. Parodies (in my experience) usually start out bad/mediocre and get better later on, but seeing that I wasn't planning on watching the main series anyway, I don't know if I care to attempt playing the waiting game. I am totally apathetic from an enjoyment stance, which could make the analyzing the show (or the viewers) interesting, but I'm not certain that there will be much of anything to analyze. I might go with the three episode rule on the main series (making four total) if I can muster the effort. I recall not liking Gurren Lagann much until episode 8, and it had 27 episodes, which is basically a third of the show. Four eps is a third of 12, which is how many eps this has if you add in this episode. In any case, it was pretty meh.

It's like making a bad game but it's fine since the game itself fully aware of how bad it is. Self-awareness is useful in a parody, but the show needs to be amusing as a result of it. The show was much too forward/blunt with the ecchi elements and meta humor. If it was more subtle about it, I think this could be genuinely amusing/enjoyable. |

| that was nice. liked the art, except those 3D hands. and the ED and OP is nice. Michiru best girl! imo |
OSOI! |
| Really nice OP and ED. And I seriously love the art. Only thing that bothers me is that the skirt is drawn in a way that it looks so short yet it covers the area properly... I guess with the uniform looks longer. Also... the main heroine for this is the Background Girl A... err Kato. I wonder if she will truly develop as a heroine. |

| Nothing like I was expecting, sooooo much more fan service than listed ecchi shows this season (wtf?). Did enjoy it and the animation was top notch. Liked the characters. |
| I liked the fanservice. Really.....really....really... liked it. Whelp, this Yoshitsugu Matsuoka guy is everywhere all of a sudden. This is about the 3rd time I heard this guy in the past 5 anime I watched. |
 |
| No harem tag trolled me. From the synopsis, I was expecting something more along the lines of Genshiken. Some people have said that this episode was only a parody and that the actual series is not like this. I hope that's true, because if it's only going to be about the girls throwing their pantsu at the MC, I'm not even going to make the episode 3. |

| See, I think everyone needs to be paying attention to what Eriri said in the first few minutes. It ironically flew over the heads of most people here. |
 |
| Looks like everyone also forgot that this is an Episode 0, and may not have any bearing to the anime series itself. |

Orix said: Looks like everyone also forgot that this is an Episode 0, and may not have any bearing to the anime series itself. No, I did not. And I know episode 0 means 0 importance. |
| I like anime. |
| That was a really good episode 0. :o Fun characters, good character design, good animation minus some weird cg stuff, nice environment. I look forward to watching the main series. I like how the colors change It's nice to hear Kayano Ai doing a serious voice. Good OP song, Luna is always good :D Good ED song too |
 |
| Utaha best girl. But welp, fanservice. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| So a special...before the actual show. Kinda weird but i'm loving the characters. Sayuri Yahagi and Ai Kayano are a pretty powerful duo for the girl voices. My biggest hype for this show is that the main character has Glasses, YES! YES! YES! So there really isn't much left to say about this as it's a special but it does a really good job at getting you hyped for the actual show, so in a market standpoint it gets a 10 out of 10, as a special i'll give it a 9 out of 10. |
  |
| i didnt like how they animated their fingers when they were typing :/ |
| A standard setup, could be worth watching though. The art was pretty good, I really liked it |
