| During the first episode I didn't expect that many people hated it because it turned out to be the MC but in my opinion it was included in the good category starting from the visuals, OST, plots that weren't skipped etc. Quite surprised at this time to get a score of 7.01. As I went through episode 5 the score was getting higher, I asked, "where did the haters go? They started to worship? Seriously? And now it has reached 7.71 ?" I mean like.. wtf? Ar u kidding me guys? |
Dinobunn said: Just wait for the second season score if the anime maintains its quality.I wish people give any story more chance to develop instead of dropping things and rating it low right away after watching first few episodes. I believe this anime deserve 8+ rating on MAL but so many people give it low rating because they dropped it after first two episodes |

| Most people were understandably off put by the premise and MC's twisted fantasies, but thankfully this whole gag was dropped five minutes in the first episode. Those who endured were rewarded big time, because Yamada is easily best girl this year so far. |

| Yeah manga readers knew what was coming. It's such sweet romcom after that first episode. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Can't blame people too much tho, this season has some really good school romance contenders. After School Insomniacs and Skip and Loafer are also top tier, I can see someone with not a lot of time for anime dropping this show after the first episode in favor of the others |
| Nino is the objectively superior one, don't @ me |
| Worth a Thread!^^ ........... .................Not |

| I'm actually the opposite, I love how twisted the mc was, now the show is a basic normie romcom you find anywhere, no personality or soul whatsoever mc's fantasies were the best spice we had, now it's as bland as looking at clouds moving |

Trying to sell an anime with an interesting premise, only to quickly become generic is all too common. |

Trying to sell an anime with an interesting premise, only to quickly become generic is all too common. Well, I am technically reading a romcom right now, but disregard that. Like it's about the protagonist turning into a cat, and somehow that one ends up committing to a plot line, but this one with the weird creepy premise doesn't. |

| I was definitely on the fence after the first episode, thinking I was most likely gonna drop it after a couple more episodes. But it just took a couple episodes to prove itself and blossom into something beautiful. If Ichikawa stayed the borderline psychopath that he was, then yeah, it would've been a drop. It's "low" score of 7.00-something would have been warranted by most. But he doesn't stay that way, because Yamada brings out the soft innocent side in him, and we get the warm and fuzzy show we have now. Do we HAVE to love it from the start? No, even though most shows in general try to make their first episode as appealing as possible to hook in as much viewership as they can. But not every show is absolutely pristine from start to finish. Some start out rough, and smooth out later; and that is far better than having it the other way around. But you're right, this show didn't even start out rough, that first episode was almost necessary to allow for some contrast for our main character, and to show how grows throughout, opening up more and more because of Yamada. |

| To be honest, I hated like the entire first half, but it got progressively better, and after finishing the 12 episodes, I even want to read the manga. But that doesn't change how bad the first episodes were (imo). First half was like a 4/10 and second half was a 8/10, so that's a 6 overall. But I have high expectations for the manga |

Pansnbskk said: 6 is not a bad rating, it's "fine". I just didn't like the first half because it was mostly sexual jokes and the MC following the FMC around, while inner monologuing. These monologues were insufferable, I was gonna drop the show at episode 4, but kept going just because of the high score this show has. The big improvement comes when the MC actually starts interacting with the FMC, but it took too long to get there.Nel999 said: so delusional giving this show 6/10 is a crime, this show is fairly rated it's better than horimiya but below oregairuTo be honest, I hated like the entire first half, but it got progressively better, and after finishing the 12 episodes, I even want to read the manga.

Rukodaime91 said: Two completely different approaches to romantic comedies. The comparison is kinda silly. The snarky aspect that you didn't like is just a preference at this point.Pansnbskk said: Sorry, dude, but, there is more "love" in one minute of Yamada calling Ichikawa at night to check if he is okay when he broke his arm than in the full first season of Oregairu. so delusional giving this show 6/10 is a crime, this show is fairly rated it's better than horimiya but below oregairu Also, Yamada is actually a good, goofy but loveable character when Oregairu try to have everyone being snarky all the time (which is actually what author do when they don't know how to write a character). To be fair, I only watched Season 1 of oregairu and the only "loveable" character was Saika and Komachi. In any case, yeah, the first three episodes of Yamada was not great, but, it got better when you realize she was not just an alien eating chocolate in the library but actually trying to get Ichikawa to like her (which is kinda funny considering she could probably go out with almost every guy of her school without even doing a single effort, but that's what make it cute). |
Rukodaime91 said: A bit irrelevant to the topic but the first three episodes aren't really Yamada trying to get Kyou to like her, it's more like an account of how she got interested in himPansnbskk said: In any case, yeah, the first three episodes of Yamada was not great, but, it got better when you realize she was not just an alien eating chocolate in the library but actually trying to get Ichikawa to like her (which is kinda funny considering she could probably go out with almost every guy of her school without even doing a single effort, but that's what make it cute). so delusional giving this show 6/10 is a crime, this show is fairly rated it's better than horimiya but below oregairu After that we get three episodes of her testing the waters with him then the rest is full blown affection |
Rinkahai said: Are you here for the first time? Hype shows always get high ratings before the finale before either plummeting or flying into space after the last episode. It's just that a lot of people watch the show or rate it only after the finale, so what you see before that is mostly the rating of people who are actively watching the show as an ongoing.During the first episode I didn't expect that many people hated it because it turned out to be the MC but in my opinion it was included in the good category starting from the visuals, OST, plots that weren't skipped etc. Quite surprised at this time to get a score of 7.01.

Swiss_Bohemian said: you are right, they interacted from episode 1, but that was not real interaction, it was just the MC stalking Yamada. That's how I see it. Anyway, it's just my opinion, I didn't like the first episodes at all, and they were so bad that I can't ignore them when rating the whole product. I still like how everything ended up though, and the second season will probably get a 7 or 8 from me, I can see it being much better since the relationship is already established.Nel999 said: 6 is not a bad rating, it's "fine".

The big improvement comes when the MC actually starts interacting with the FMC, but it took too long to get there. You and I, we haven't seen the same show. The show I saw had a male MC which interacted with the FMC right from episode 1. I know what you mean by him having some jarring inner monologues, but reducing and judging those early episodes solely on that does them a disservice. |

| Most of the people here have 3–4-episode rule. If they don't find it enjoyable within that period, they either paused watching it or dropped it. Then once they discovered that it's actually getting better, they come back. And some people actually stick with it, gave a lower score in first few episodes and enjoyed it as the story progresses. Tbh, this wasn't on my PTW because I have no idea what this is about at first. Then I saw clips from YT and found it adorable then I gave it an 8 after binge watching it. |
