I loved it because I love these kind of animes I mean both the MCs have feeling for each other but our main mc doesn't feel like he is worthy of her or something like that (Your lie in April lore but without that much emotions) . 2ndly the osts and art and animations are pretty good too . I was pretty unsure about the harem tag too but if it isn't harem then it has everything which I love in rom coms
its not harem. It looks like one but isn't. They instantly add that tag when there are more than 2 girls on screen at any given time.

Yeah I went to manga and found that it isn't harem so I would be desperately waiting for this one next week

Oh, finally, an interesting plot.
I guess I would prefer this than the other series who use weird camera angles, however, the animation is really lacking and looks cheap.

If this ever gets a manga (I haven't checked),.I would totally read it. Reminds me of ORESUKI.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

With respect, Aizawa Rena is much cuter while being open and honest. Or as open and honest as fems can get.

I think both Sajou and Natsukawa acts a bit moronly but I'll give it a go. I DO like the fact that most of the class is sort of supporting of Sajou's "stalking".

This was SUPER refreshing concept! I like the main character - he doesn't seem just like a dense mofo, but actually understands that you should stop at some point. And tsundere main girl also is equally cute and annoying haha! Let's hope the plot remains fresh and juicy too :)

I'm just so confused what's supposed to be implied by the soccer scene. What made him change? Why would he not realize he's completely different? It's weird, but it's also literally the only thing separating this from any other harem romcom.
Sometimes there are simple or mundane moments in life that open up a door, so to speak. This was probably turning gears in his head for a long time and this small random rush of adrenaline and noradrenaline can trigger a moment of reflection (source: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/unexpected-brain-chemistry-is-behind-the-element-of-surprise/ ). 

By the way, something similar to that - but related to my field of study not romance - happened to me several times :d

agreed, the pacing are too fast and messy
we can't see how much effort the mc has put in cause the scene of the ball almost hitting the mc face is shown too quickly
even the order of the scenes is also not according to the order in the novel, because mc proposed to fmc after being seduced by other heroines, it makes the last heroine's rejection not feel too painful

what have they done!!! the pacing was sooo off!! that was too much to take in casually as a first episode. it practically force fed you info.

I've read the WN and Light Novels which were actually decent but having known how the story goes, that first episode was so badly story boarded I'm actually surprised.

Hope the pacing improves a bit since the story isn't actually as badly portrayed in that first episode..

I feel the start was not good, the fact that Sajou was introduced as a stalker and then boom I will stop chasing/following you, which is so sudden and the fact that him being a stalker was known to the entire school. Then suddenly Aika felt somewhat abandoned and got jealous of Aizawa getting closer to Sajou. And what's with Aizawa calling Arimura her EX then boom the next day they were holding hands, why?. But in the end, they give some path where both Sajou and Aika can be together by starting as friends since Aika doesn't have anyone to talk to except Kei who was no longer sitting next to her. At this point, I don't know whether to root for Sajou and Aika or just let them go in separate paths. Lets see how the story progresses.

Good start for this anime, it seams to be light and entertaining can't wait to see where the story takes us, hoping not to go around too much.
In terms of design it's average but it does the job so that's okay. For now I'm waiting to see what the anime offers us to say more but I appreciate the fact that Aika is frustrated to see Wataru go away..
However I did not understand some parts, some seem to have been rushed so idk about that, I had already forgotten the moment with the soccer ball, but just..why?
Need to see the 2nd episode to get a better idea

The first episode has been quite a let down. 
The story,sound and the characters are pretty average.
 A love story between Aika the tsundere type, Sato, a guy who doesn't know half of the time what he is doing.

The animation quality of the first episode was a bit off I guess. 

And based on the initial impression the Female Lead behaves like kind of a bi*ch (and its by a long shot outside the realm of a tsundere)

They did not explain why the MC changed his views, the episode seemed rushed. 

Just gonna drop the show....

The production values are below average.
It feels like I'm thrusted in the middle of a second season and I'm suppose to know and be invested in characters.
The MC doesn't know what he wants and Aika is average tsundere.
Overall a very rushed and boring episode.

The sinopsis in the Novel says he woke up and arrived at the conclusion of not pursuing. I wonder if they changed it to something stupid like the ball

after weeks of him following her, even if creepy ... after he decides to stop, the girl (and everyone else) will be confused and ask him what's wrong lol
on one hand i understand that, on the other, i feel like this anime will be stupid as fuck

at least Aika is pretty, and her friend is crazy too lol

well, at least i don't hate it , unlike that other one rom-com that had 2 girls asking the mc to hook them with his best friend or whatever (oresuki)

that Aizawa girl is cute too but her words confuse me :D

anyway, i'm trying way too many seasonals already so who knows if i'll watch ep 2 or not, but so far it's not bad
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons

This looks an okay adaptation but I feel like the anime left some details compared to the manga...

the problem between Aizana and her bf was solved too quickly.

Wow I've never seen someone change so much from a soccer ball. Guys whole personality and life just changed because of a soccer ball. So his whole thing is being obsessed with this one girl and then he all of the sudden just stops. No wonder everyone thinks it's weird. Also glad that girl got back with her boyfriend but honestly should've found someone else that wouldn't break up for some random girl.
Still why did his whole personality just change from that soccer ball?

So....my takeaway from going into this (with zero expectations I might add) is that he got hit in the head by a ball (maybe? He didn't reel back like someone who just got hit by a ball) and then decided he's been too close to Aika?

What I find most annoying (and unrealistic) is that the whole school is making jabs at him about how he was [previously] totally obsessed with her. Maybe it's because we didn't see enough of his personality before his "mood change" /sudden "shift in attitude" but I am dang pissed at everyone else around the two right now, especially at Aika's "best friend" who keeps flip flopping between being for & against the pairing of the two. 

edit: Also not sensing the comedy right now...unless putting down the guy who's sorting out his feelings from his sudden attitude change is supposed to be funny because it's not.

Honestly, I don't know what the hell am I watching. It started as a basic introduction to the character and somehow a soccer ball didn't hit his face, just went by like that and suddenly it feels like the last episode.

i don't know, i was confused like "is this anime has a prequel or something?" because i dont know if im watching the first episode or the last episode. im genuinely confused, but ill keep watching since im interested

One of the romance stories that I have wanting to read the LN for, the anime has finally arrived! Though I may have spoke too soon about the anime's subpar quality from the get-go...

The realist boy that is Wataru "Sajotchi" Sajo, with his ever so stalk-ish nature on his crush: fellow classmate Aika Natsukawa, and the moment of change is when a soccer ball narrowly hits him like a mind-blowing explosion.

Together with Aika's good friend of Kei Ashida, his stalking fanatic of Aika is known to the entire school, though him being realist is out of the ordinary for all expecting the usual rom-com. The next-door class's Rena Aizawa feels intrigued on his behaviour, though this earns the ire of his classmates and leaves him on airs, apart from Rena having had an ex-boyfriend in the form of 2nd Year Kazuki Arimura, which Kei just casually blurts out like nothing.

Apologizing in their stead, Sajo laments with Rena on the fact that the love they had for each other was equivalent to swings and misses of misunderstandings. It's the same with Sajo falling for Aika in the most unkempt of circumstances after a rejection of his own. Though Kei did it because she thought that Rena has ulterior motives on Sajo, which is warranted. It's a good thing that both Rena and Arimura got back together, but while Sajo knows that he's out of league for Aika, her suddenly appearing at his house to tell him that she got asked out and calling out his weird behaviour of not being a stalker, he goes for gold to ask her out, despite knowing that she''ll reject him time and time again.

Other than his older sister, the Student Council's vice president Kaede butting into their conversation, Sajo's ready to move on from his and Aika's "divorce", though she doesn't feel like letting go because of his diverse personality.

A rather mediocre start that throws logic and plot points out of the window, no thanks very much.


I immediately hate the orange girl. Overly tsundere that makes watcher hate the character. God, I hope he rejected her

So far I'm having mixed emotions on this anime, though it's still the first episode. It feels like the anime ruined the light novel because it was rushed and I noticed that emotions of each characters are not showing enough on the anime compared to the manga.

Wataru's personality is pissing me off tbh though I'm not the one to talk since it's really hard to understand girls even in real life. Though the one thing confusing me is 'What actually happened on the first part as to why he suddenly changed personality?' Like how can a ball open up your eyes to something, but that's about it.
