| Loved the hug... I swear, she seemed to need one already in the first episode. And nice to see that while showing Haruka's usually timid nature, the show hasn't forgotten about her wide range of skills. Awesome throw! :D Forever said: Pretty much the best show this season at this point. Absolutely agreed! |

infinite_zero said: Nice episode, I really liked it. Haruka overcame her hurdle, Comiket ftw? I must buy the novels. O.o Oh, and Haruka-fu is also awesome. The "opening herself to dolls" bit in the preview, Rozen Maiden anyone? I just saw the whole series in one shot. Really unique series by the way and I noticed the OP songs of both seasons of Rozen Maiden is similar to the one of Kaibutsu Oujo. What do you think? |

| Nyaan, I Loved Mika!!! Sooo Otaku, she only need some nekomimi :P!!! |

| Haruka has a fun sister, + fang Rawrness. Also another Haruka cuteness overload ep. |
 |
| Even though the show does have its fair share of fanservice and an interesting plot, it's nothing that hasn't been done before. The characters have flat, cliche, two-dimensional generic personalities that are often the staple of this kind of anime. The kind but useless male lead (ヘタレ); the perfect girl who happens to become connected with the male lead under some circumstance; the moe-lolicon; the jock; the wierd/perverted friend(s) of male lead; the binge drinking, scantily clad, abusive sister of male lead... you get my point. Has there been a boob-service girl thrown in yet? I can't remember. And then the themes and lines which just reeks of cheddar. "Haruka is Haruka", "I'll always be by your side"... a part of me died every time they said that. And it's not just once, either. In the three episodes that has been aired so far, I'm pretty sure the "You are You" line has already been repeated beyond death. Not a bad anime by any measure - it has its funny and cute moments - but nothing special. Overall, a cliched, mediocre series which doesn't have much to offer to better itself from the millions of other romance series out there. since everyone seems to like this series... *activate flame shield* |
| liking this series a lot more than i was expecting. the otaku bullying was a little OTT though |
 |
| Really great episode. Haruka's imouto is really, really cute. What I especially like about this series is that you actually see fast progression between the two main characters wich I haven't seen much in comedy series like this. Usually it takes ages for the male lead to get anywhere but those two seem to hit it off pretty well. |

| You know what I'm really tired of? Characters that tease the main couple like Haruka's sister and that maid. I know they have their reasons, but damn. They just make me roll my eyes. Yuuto keeps gaining plus points from me. He actually managed to study with Haruka, instead of just being dazzled by her good looks. And he was alone in he room, he had all reason to be flustered. But he doesn't get too flustered around her or any other girl for that matter, he actually comes out as a pretty normal guy. And the "I don't care what you say about me" attitude? Major plus there. Haruka seems to care about what others think, huh? Yes, she does say the main reason is she doesn't want to be alone, but then she'd rather be around people who don't truly care about her? Tsk tsk, Haruka-chan. Yuuto-san has a lot to teach you. Oh wait, he did already?! Her secret is out?! Wow, so early in the series. |
| Like a lot of people this show is a lot better than i would have thought going into it. I dont even know what it is about the show but it keeps me coming back wanting more. And the relationship that has developed this far is amazing, and i feel like i'm going to hate it when that pink haired girl (whoever she is from the opening animation) comes cuz she looks to be the 3rd piece of the love triangle that will probably happen. at least it will make it interesting. Even though her secret is out, i dunno if it will stay that way, they might just think she is being nice trying to stop people from picking on him, but i could be wrong, its just a guess. |

| Great episode, nice show so far. I agree that there are some generic characters and yeah, this show isn't really innovative. Nevertheless, the animation is good and it deals with Otaku-culture, enough of a reason to continue this. Mika is made of win and the OP and ED are pure awesomeness. |
| That was so sad T______________T |
 |
| Good to see that guy received his just desserts :p |
| Such a great episode!! Yuuto and Haruka are so great :DDD |
| i really like this ep.. |
| really wonderful episode. the problem about otaku and her hobbies are nice. that reminds me here in germany too, that the most ppl say things, that isn't true. And Maki is soo kawaii lol :D i like her |

| Nice episode, Maki is so cute too ! |
| Loved this episode! Haruka + moeness + otakuness = WIN!!! :D |
| This show is pretty good, especially when looking at it more for the romance aspect. It was pretty sad to see Haruka's past like that and by her not going to school because of Yuuto covering for her makes it completely obvious that she likes him. I feel that this show will really suffer if she doesn't reveal her true feelings until the last episode. |

| This episode was pretty boring and it annoyed me to see how much Haruka cares about what others think. I was happy to see her admit to it in the end. Hopefully it'll make the anime better. |
| Good episode ^.- A bit of romance just what i wanted :D |
     |
| This anime keeps getting better and better! XD |
 |
| ROFL Haruka's drawing is masterpiece XD Mika is an interesting character, i love how Haruka went out from her room when Mika teased Yuuto XD |
 |
| This is turning out to be a very pleasant anime. |
| Aww, this anime is adorable! |
| Kind of sad how those students treat otakus *snort* I loved when Haruka flipped that guy over to the tree. He deserved it. |
 |
| A very good episode. The characters in this series definitely is the strong point. The side characters are very enjoyable and hilarious. Some very cute characters as well. Yuuto is a much better main male character than most others in this type of series, and Haruka is also not annoying like some characters. I wonder how things will turn out, after what Haruka said at the end. |
| Haruka should just not hide her hobby. Who cares about what others think. |
| I wasn't expecting much from this. Pleasantly surprised it's turned out so strong. Mamiko is epic as always, she makes a show worthwhile singlehandedly. The Mc is much more tolerable than the average protagonist in these type of shows, liking him as well. The big winner this episode though is Mika. She instantly cements herself as one of my favorite Imouto characters! 5/5, series is on pace for a possible 9. |
| Loving this anime so far. It is super adorable. |
 |
| For an anime to have anime treated as a disgusting hobby, it makes me wonder what this show is implying. Also wow, that was one hell of a throw at the end of the episode. |
SwordWielder said: sure is.... but aw... her himitsu had been found out ;-( The little sister is perverted!(me lkiey) It sucked when her bag fell exposing her secret. The lengths they went to cheer her up was nice and we found out some of Haruka's backstory as well. Damn Japan! They sure hate people who are into Anime. Its seriously strange but that's real life for ya I guess. |
| I play video games. You should play a video game because you read my signature. |
| That was a great episode, sticking to the focus on Haruka and Yuuto's relationship. Nice development. |
 |
| Pretty cute little show here. I like the fanged little sister too. |
 |
| I will never understand people who hates on someone for liking anime and manga |
