| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was not bad. The questions were hard but they rocked. Never seen anything with that kind of concept so I hope it turns to be good. Koshiyama has slow reflexes but he did fine. |
 |
| I remember reading the manga years ago, it was interesting but at the time I had so many titles to follow that I ended up forgetting about it. Still didn't think it would get animated after so long. Anyway, I don't remember much of the source but this was a decent first episode, aside from that cringy panty "joke" scene. Also I'm not completely sold on Mari's voice actress choice. |
| Just letting every one know not to worry about the stupid panty shot... so far that's the only fanservice I've seen in the Manga. |
| The concept seems interesting so hopefully the quizzes are compelling enough that it won't get too stale or repetitive. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Well that was more interesting that i would have thought,only turn down is the weird voice of main waifu. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| I liked both the panty shot and the MC. Hopefully the girl gets sexualized even more. She's too cute not to. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Very entertaining show once it gets to the quizzes. They presented it really well and that makes for exciting stuff to happen in the future, they'll definitely go competitive here. Is Fukami's voice actor new? Haven't heard this voice before. |
| Seems difficult to get a set of glasses that fit in Japan. |
| Is the girl's voice actor new? She sounds a little insecure in some scenes :S Well, this can be interesting. |
 |
| It seems interesting. I don't like the voice actor for Fukami Mari. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I watched this out of curiosity and that was a good start. Quite entertaining in my opinion. Koshiyama manged to learn the tricks for quizzes with few hints. Quite the genius he is. I'm I the only one who liked Fukami's voice actor?? I was wondering what 7O3X meant. They explained it in the post credit scene. |
 |
| It was okay... -ish, I suppose. The MC is annoying, and Mari's voice appear to be rather amateurish, which I'm normally okay with, but here there's just such a huge discrepancy between the character and her voice. The formula, while a bit rusty at the edges, was given a new spin, so it might actually turn out to be an okay show with subpar characters. Defo giving it a few more eps. 3/5 for this one. |
     |
| Pretty good start for this show. The voice actor for Fukami Mari sounds odd. Koshiyama has slow reflexes, while Fukami's are faster. At least he knows the answers. He learned some tips from her on how to buzz faster and predict questions. |
 |
| Mari's voice actress is originally an actress that's why her voice is shaky and a bit awkward, i watched some of the dramas she appeared in when she was younger and she was good its better for her to stick to acting only |
| I thought it was just me who thought the heroine's voice is a bit off. It sounds a little flat and doesn't quite match the feel of the anime. What i thought it would be like is, high energy which would make something as simple as pressing a button really exciting (like the captain). Definitely isn't bad though. Pretty good first episode :D |
| So it's pretty much a sports anime, alright, I'm in, I liked that, I wasn't expecting anything from this |
| I enjoyed this episode but I was not too fond of Fukami Mari's voice as well. This looks pretty promising, it moved along at a good pace and the MC seems likable. |
| That was seriously meh; I got bored halfway through then there was like 5 minutes of actual interest. I might try another episode to see how it goes but right now the only impression I got was essentially your typical slice of life high school scene meets a Jeopardy vibe. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| That was average/boring episode, still gonna watch it lol |
| Like everyone said, the main female's voice sounds really off which is kind of weird but other than that, this had a decent start Never seen a series like this before so hopefully it'll be as thrilling as it was in the first episode |
| This is giving me the Chihayafuru vibes definitely gonna continue it |
| I understand that people are entitled to their opinion, but this how I feel about people criticizing voice actors or any actor in general. If you don't like the actor, DON'T blame them....BLAME THE PRODUCER THAT GAVE THEM THE JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE!! The actor is just doing the best job they do with the skills (or lack thereof) they have at their disposal. Besides, I am willing to give her a chance, especially now knowing she was a member of "9nine" and has already some acting credit under her belt, as well as a degree in psychology from Meiji University. All skills and experience I will never have! So, I'll just sit back and enjoy this series for what it is! |
| Too Much ANIME......Not enough LIFETIME!!!!!! |
| I hate to pile on, but yeah, Mari's VA has a pretty wooden delivery at points, you could immediately tell that she is new. I wish her well and hope that she continues to improve. Other than that, this is another okay-ish anime this season that I will continue to give a chance if I have time. Only anime that has really hooked me so far this season is Kakegurui, although I still have yet to see Violet Evergarden or Fate/Apocrypha. This season has been on the weak side to me thus far. |
| Forum sniper of MAL. Accuracy, efficiency. Beware the catgun. |
| Reminded me of that guy who played karuta (Chihayafuru manga) to improve his quiz buzzing skills. There's a shonen feel to it for me. Looks interesting, I'm in. |

| each time i see Koshiyama, i think of Pidge from the cartoon Voltron: Legendary Defenders. Their personalities are kinda different though. and their gender. koshiyama  bae Pidge  |
 |
Apparently, she's some kind of idol and this is her first time take a role of main heroin of the anime.. and she's cute too.. This is her main heroine debut, i guess |
| I like Furina, I love Furina. |
| It's interesting so far, but like others in this thread so far, not digging the seiyuu for Mari yet. Maybe I'll just have to get used to it. |
    |
| hmm it was ok I guess...let's see how it goes forward |
 |
| Odd premises like that are one of the main reasons I'm watching anime. The start was ok, might as well watch another one or two episodes of this before I decide to keep or drop this show. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| When i realized what this was i remember i read a bit of this like 5 years ago! before quickly falling off because quiz's and anything with puzzles doesn't do anything for me be interested to see if this will hold me over this second time around. only thing that really stood out for me was that damn good Opening ~,also Mari's VA sounds quite jarring to me like her voice doesn't remotely match the character,she sounds too much like a young idol which she pretty much is lol but hey good on her getting a Major role. |

 |
| Really saddens me that a lot aren't liking this :/ This is probably going to be in my top 5 of the season if not my favorite, as I adore the Manga! Great first episode... and yeah Maris VA is different but I like that it's different l, I found her charming. |
| It was better than I anticipated. Not exactly exciting, but it was a nice watch. I think I'm going to watch it all the way through. |
| Despise I don't like the female MC seiyuu, this seems interesting enough to keep an eye on it. |
abecyo said: It smells like political casting. (from Shirobako episode 14) Umika Kawashima(Fukami) is a japanese idol. her experience of VA is very poor. ALL JAPAN HIGH SCHOOL QUIZ CHAMPIONSHIP is aired on NTV every summer. They want to cast her as a guest on the show because idol is quite more famous and popular than VA. Ugh, I hope that's not true. But yeah, I'd been looking forward to an adaptation of this manga ever since I first found it years ago, and this seiyuu's voice is nothing like how I imagined Mari's voice in my head. |
| Great start, really enjoyed it. Fairly classic opening with club joining and the encounters and stuff but the quiz portions were awesome, really looking forward to more of this. The Quiz President guy is awesome. xD Also yes, Mari's seiyuu seems to be fairly new. |
 |
| My kind of nerdy anime. An entertaining introduction. Hope it's a fun ride. |
| hmmmm nice! this is quite interesting! let's see how this show goes on... 4/5. |
 |
| This reminds me a lot of my middle and high school years. I was the "quiz king" of my school's academic team, I guess you would say. Good times. The closest I ever got to participating in a sport or being part of a team. kingfaces said: I came here to make sure I wasn't hearing things when it came to the main girl's voice, it really felt out of place and bland to me Yes, me too. I haven't looked up her VA yet, but she was very bland, plain, and ordinary. Maybe even a bit mumbly. Did not like. |
