I'll just say that the soul of Yuno is stuck in Satou xD
Only that she loves a loli illegal :v
It seems that they live in a world of depraved sick by the poor loli :'(
From what I saw of the opening I remembered doki doki.

Finally, i was waiting for this adaptation, the manga is awesome

I absolutely like Satou-chan, her sweet side is so adorable and her yandere side WOW, be careful ladies and gentlemans

Shio-chan is the most adorable thing, protect that smile. Poor Satou, her new boss is a whore and the harassment started to affect her "happy sugar life" with Shio

I feel a little bad for Mitsuboshi, the bitch boss was crazy, but Satou put her in her place

i expect a lot of psychological development, both girls has a lot to hide

I am so hyped for this series. I’m already up-to-date with the manga and I think they delivered the first episode really well. Satou-chan is definitely beautiful with her pink hair and soft features but when she goes psycho mode, she looks scarier than Gasai Yuuno and that’s saying a lot.

I like how they chose Hanazawa Kana as her voice actress, she has a sweet-sounding and innocent voice but when she drops and speaks in a lower tone during her yandere moments, she’s very convincing.

I like the colors and the effects they used on her eyes when she went in her yandere mode.

I can’t wait for the next episode. I want to see more crazy shit.

Pretty decent episode. Those moments with Shio-chan were pretty annoying but the rest was okay.

I am positively surprised that Satou`s insane side is pretty realistic. Compared to overused, cliche insanity, presented in most of the animes, this was a breath of a fresh air. You know, those characters that start to laugh like crazy, shout bullshit like madmans and then doing weird poses. Satou is kind of silent and deadly reasonable. She owned the manager really well. The highlight of this episode.

I said God damn! That was good! We’ve got sick fucks running around everywhere doing their thing, from a Loli in the tub to the boy in the closet. If this keeps up this is going to be one of the greats. A 10 out of 10.

Absolutly! Seriously crazy people usually have no clue how batshit they really are. This is shaping up to be a deconstruction of “Love will conquer all” and “Love means you never have to say your sorry” cliches.

I just stumbled into this series because someone, somewhere was bitching about it. I’m completely in the dark about the plot, but I love what I’ve seen so far.

Yea, things aren’t looking up for him at the moment, but look upon the bright side, he’s no doubt getting laid several times a day, and the manager lady isn’t all that bad looking. Some guys would pay good money to trade places with him.

It was a nice first episode. People are crazy and there is a yandere, I like it.

Mitsuboshi is alive lol. I was expecting a corpse inside the wardrobe.

So being someone who loves Mirai Nikki and Higurashi, I have to say the first episode of this was quite enjoyable, also gave me some Angels of Death vibes too, great show if you haven't seen it, though I played the games first which were good. All in all Happy Sugar Life seems right up my alley.

Me: Oh, Satou doesn't seem all that bad. She might have a little crazy in her, but she just stood up to the true crazies at her workplace.

So my wife who watches very little anime actually decided to sit down with me and watch this when I said I was starting a new show..... her face throughout I will treasure for a lifetime what a first episode to watch for her xD

that was some unsettling and creepy stuff, know nothing about this other than a quick read of the synopsis, definitely has the higurashi/ mirai Nikki vibes (however maybe not as well done for me personally) but it was solid... right up my street, glad I held off watching for a while so I can blast few some episodes now!

Even knowing how fucked up of a ride this was going to be, I was not expecting this shit at all. Not gonna lie, as someone who spends too much time in the fanfiction ring, this is definitely screaming the premise. Lets see how dark this gets.

I feel like calling this a "horror" is a large mislabel. It's not a horror as much as it is psychological, which is still a rather broad term that doesnt nail down the feeling of this anime. Primarily, this is kinda Slice of Life-y / Drama. But this is nothing like any other SoL Ive seen or heard of. The "psychological" part comes in where the show gives you a tense feeling of knowing that SOMETHING is wrong here, but youre only given subtle cues. Watching through this series, it felt like I was on the verge of having anxiety attacks due to having the feeling that something is OBVIOUSLY very very wrong. Like by the end of episode 1, you know in the back of your mind that a murder has obviously taken place, and very possibly a kidnapping too; but the anime just glosses over those hints as if it were nothing unusual. IDK, this anime is just has a rather uneasy feeling about it. And this is one of the more unique SoL anime I think Ive seen.

This is why I love anime. It's unique and different than western TV Shows. There is NO WAY hollywood would ever make a show like this.

And as a result. Everything in those tv shows is predictable. Nothing is outrageous. They always go for a politically correct stance on each subject.

But Japan doesn't pull any punches. That's why a show like this is possible. This anime tells a pretty interersting and unique story and doesn't pull any punches on how bizarre and wrong it can get.

so basically we have a yandere story,only this time the yandere is a lesbian and sexually loves lolis. lol.

i honestly expect the kid to be the big evil by the end though,and the reveal that the yandere was completely manipulated.

i didnt see the kid's family being murdered by her coming though. f***...

i expected that too at first,but then realized that the stench of his decaying body would have been incredibly strong,and thought the closet might be a door to another room that he is in or something lol.

Nope. It's complicated because Satou doesn't understand love, but she feels love when she's with Shio. It's definitely not sexual though, maybe romantic.

That's true, but Satou's relationship with Shio is more pure and innocent. Satou has had sex with a lot of people in search of love and she hasn't found it, until she finds it in Shio. She doesn't feel any sexual attraction to her.

i highly doubt she actually "found it in her". the girl is clearly unbalanced in a lot of ways. it seems to me,especially after your explanation, that she is hugely confusing "parents love" with "romantic love". the way she acts is like how a mother loves and treats her beloved young daughter,yet she talks about it as if it is romantic and refuses to go with guys for her,so i think it is clear that her wires are missed up in this,and in tons of other matters too >_>

From the start until the end of this episode I was off my seat (figuratively and literally). I have no clue what made her feel this way about people, but something definitely snapped inside of her to an extremely terrifying extent. She was taken advantage of and she retaliated in a devastatingly terrifying sort of way.
I never experienced a feeling so powerful about the first episode of an anime, yet. So I definitely have to give this show praise so far. I hope it continues to give me an off-my-seat experience like this first episode.
Absolutely bonkers.

What is so happy or sugary about it? All I saw was yandere pedophile who kidnaps and keeps a little girl spending cute moments with her and God knows what happened to her aunt(lol she might be ded). But it seems like a thriller and is very interesting so I might continue it.......later.
