I had already heard about the story, but man, what an amazing animation! if they keep up the quality this could be the romance of the season (I just don't understand why the rating is so low).
@XhionPime There are several reasons but spoilers.

The ending went hard especially since I was on the elipical while I watched it I pretend I was running up all those stairs.

I am so upset with myself that I didn’t know about this banger until the first episode dropping today. This is easily my favorite show of the season alongside Roshideru. The animation was simply breathtaking and I absolutely loved the comedy in this episode. Anna is already an absolute favourite of mine and this is up there with one of the best first episodes I have watched in a while. This one is going to be a favourite for many I can already tell

This looked like a show I could like so I was looking forward to it, but this first episode ended up being a lot more fun and looking a lot better than I expected. It was great!

Also, Yanami already looking like best girl. She is so fun and I love her design. Poor Nukumizu though xD.

Man, I love the show already. But now I wonder, by the end of the series, will the losing heroines lose again?

"They say seven out of ten high school couples break up within a year, if u include after graduation almost all of them are destined to break up"

what a way to start a first episode of an anime
it break all the clichés of an rom-com animes, A-1 picture as usually deliveries the best animation I feel like every romantic anime in this season has the quality of movie animation,where did they got so much money lol😂jokes aside this one really got my attention will give it a try for sure let's see if it disappoints or delivers ....

Wtf is up with this season, initially I thought I'd watch only 5 new seasonal shows at most but there're so many with amazing direction and visual quality/animation that I can't pass up on, and this is no exception. The storyline itself doesn't really interest me, but it was surprisingly funny for the most part. The idea of a guy having multiple encounters with girls who lost in having their love being requited seems interesting, but I just hope it doesn't become a harem. And this bothers me more than it should, but....why the hell does the male MC always have to be someone with no friends? Is this super common in Japan or something? Just give the poor dude one friend at least, my goodness lol. And also...what the hell is up with the female school uniforms, why do they all have four bow ties?? If I had to wear something like that in school, I'd straight up have a rebellion phase.

I knew it was going to be good just from reading the synopsis. The animation surprised me, but what I liked the most were the characters and the comedy. I definitely think it will be one of the best of the season.

After watching so many romantic comedies with love triangles, it's refreshing to see a story focusing on all the second heroines who didn't win. This is something new for me.

Just some quick info on this anime.
This is an adaptation by A-1 Pictures. It is based on a light novel and the light novel itself is quite new (started 2021). It also has a manga adaptation which started 2022. Not sure how much of the LN this anime will consume so I would not expect this will necessary have another season after this. But if A-1 manages to maintain the quality of this 1st episode's impressions (or if they at least deliver the 3-episode rule), I have a feeling this will have a good run for the season and have at least a satisfying 12-episode cour.

I never really got into the manga, so I don't know if the MC actually gets into any sort of relationship. That being said, I've always liked Lemon - she's really endearing, not to mention cute.

@elkensteyin As of right now, everything's platonic at the moment.

Nukumizu is not seeking for any romance for himself right now.

Yeah this is def better than Roshidere, I think I rewatched this ep for like 5x now cause of how fun the character interactions and the events are. Plus the visuals are so damn pretty, and how the animation bumped its ass during the rooftop scene. Animation and art wise this is def the best romcom this season.
Anna is such a riot! I love chaotic characters. Girl just got dumped and not even a mint passes by and what does she do? French tongue the straw of her ex lol, I love her rambling and complaints! Mc can be better tho, would have been better if he was the teaser type or gives out more comments but eh.
They really saved the best for last this season. Good runner up for AOTS!

I like the manga quite better than I expected, it's quite funny and the main male character is not a hopeless douchbag like in so many teenage mangas / animes.
And the beginning of this adaptation seems OK. The production quality is very good, just like Soushimin, and the voices are OK, though I was expecting something else for Anna. I guess I'll get used to it.
I'm a bit surprised that there is an anime so soon, since there are only about 16 published chapters. I hope the story will stay on the current track and atmosphere.

@rvdboom It's a Light Novel adaptation, not a manga.

Vol 7 is coming out in a couple days already, 7 LNs is a lot of content.

It's off to a great start. It has a cinematic sequence at the start but that's not the main point.

Anna is unhinged as expected. I was sold that it's a romcom, but it seems more serious for its genre.

I love it so far—so many good compositions. Hope they can keep the quality throughout the season.

Also, I love the way they draw some of these random background characters.

It may be too early to say this, but I think I found my anime of the season! And, Anna may well be the best girl of the season too.

Absolute CINEMA 🙌
Visually Stunning!!
Beautiful background art and direction, you can tell there is a lot passion and effort into this one.

Damn Shuuichirou Umeda voicing another MC this season, bro getting a lot of paycheck, Good for him.

Their chemistry is great, so Harem of rejected heroine? LMAO okay sure.
Same characters design from Lycoris Recoil??
No wonder Anna remind me of Chisato a little bit.
Yeah this is going be a good one this season for sure.

Oh godness this is too good, weird not having a black and long haired girl among the girls but no clichés better for me, look fiorward to this.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

not super sure how to feel about this one honestly, the animation was great and I really like anna and lemon so far- unsure about chika, but not really a big fan of nukumizu. I was excited for this anime, but going into this I thought it'd follow Anna as the protagonist, didn't even know there was a guy amongst the main characters (My fault for not looking into the anime too much) Maybe I'll grow to like him, but as of right now I don't see myself enjoying this as much as I hoped cause of him. Also I hope that teacher doesn't take up too many scenes cause she was annoying. Also really hoping this isn't a harem like a lot of people here have been saying

I really like how this isn't just a harem for the sake of it,more of how they will handle the theme of rejection.
Definitely sticking around to see how that move the story forward.

A-1 is good, I mean just look at LycoReco.... But have they always been this "experimental" ? Gainax has just been recently bankrupt , did A-1 just adopt their ppl ? This doesn't look A-1 to me, it's good tho, but too good.... I mean, this is really A-1 right, not something A-1 just bought from Gainax ? This really screams Gainax for me, seems kinda sus.... hmmm....
