Mariem said: Same. I also immediately thought of Red Garden.I really liked this first episode, it was quite interesting. And the character-design reminded me a lot Red Garden . |
| what's up with murasaki-chan's voice... it's too mature for someone who were 6 year-old... |
 |
| Loved this first episode. I think animation and art are great. Can't wait for next >_< |
  |
| I thought it was okay, I'm not really sure why this guy is hired to protect people but I'll keep watching this series at least for a few more episodes but it shows hope so I'll probably watch it week by week. I really enjoy the music and animation style of the show as well. |

| This was good! I was a bit reluctant in watching this, since it didn't seem to suit my taste, but I was completely wrong. Loved this first episode, even though the first half was a bit confusing =P |
| I was tentative about starting this series, since it didn't really seem like it would appeal to me as much as some other series like out in the spring season, but I was surprised. I actually liked it quite a bit, and will continue it. So, off to episode 2 now... |

| I remember checking out the trailer for this anime when I was making my FAL team. I wasn't very impressed from the things I got to see, but I almost put this anime on my team PURELY based on the two voice skits in the last half of the preview trailer. I replayed that simple trailer over and over again, 'cause I was laughing each time when I heard it. XD Though I was a little disappointed that one of the two was cut and (for some reason) done with less emotion (which made it so darn funny XD ). But yeah, this looks like an interesting anime. Perhaps a little cheesy way of making a rich little girl stay with a teenager boy in a crappy appartment, but meh.....it looks like this can provide us with some good laughs and the occasional drama. ^_^ |
| Interesting series. I hope it gets good. The character designs looks good to me. |

| I definitely enjoyed this first episode. I wasn't planning on following this series, but I will now. And yeah, the opening was pretty strange. I'm not really a fan of either that or the ending and I thought that they did not mesh well with the show itself. At all. |
 |
| Damn, I hate when they cast a female VA for a male character. I can't take the main dude seriously now because he sounds like such a pussy, and I was expecting him to have a dude's voice. |
| I liked this first episode. Although I don't really understand how the current situation came about, it was done rather well. I liked the characters and the artwork was above average. I think I'm going to enjoy this. |
| making me teary eyed was not part of the plan. |
 |
| Very good and intersting first episode. The art and animation is nice and I like the seiyuus. Sawashiro Miyuki even does a good voice for male characters. Looking forward to seeing how the relationship between Shinkurou and Murasaki develops, and in what direction the plot will go from now. |
 |
| Although the seiyuu for Murasaki is amazing. Her voice didn't seem to match the loli for me. Oh wells. |

| Didn't really get what was happening at the beginning, which isn't too surprising since it just launched into the story full-speed, it seems. It was good, though; enjoyable, and moreso once it was clearer what was going on. I really like the animation - it's gorgeous. Smooth and fluid, in my opinion... Also, there seemed to be a lot of talented voice actors playing the characters, so that was awesome. :D Great animation (and I like the actual art style, too) plus my curiosity regarding what is up with the protagonist's body (mutating arm or something?) will keep me watching until at least episode two... |
| I've gotta say, this having "comedy" as one of its genres was a lie. Cool start though. Good animation. The eyes look consistently weird and crooked to the point that it seems to just feel natural in this anime and doesn't bother me after the first few minutes. |
 |
| Well it seems he has a lot of work cut out for him. LOL |
 |
| Firstly, I love the artstyle, better then alot of anime coming out in 2013. Secondly, I HATE that the male lead is voiced by a female and sounds like many of the female characters she has voiced in the past. Thirdly, I love situations where an old guy looks after a kid. Similar to Usagi Drop and Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai. |
 |
| While the OP was really weird and rather repelling the actual concept of this anime did catched my attention and well I kinda liked it so let's see what the story has to offer us! |
 |
| Murasaki is adorable. She's awakening my paternal instincts. And as much as I love hearing Sawashiro, Miyuki's voice I just think she's not fit for a guy... her voice is sexy as hell you know. |
 |
| same here. |

| Well, it was a bit rushed and confusing at the beginning, but then it started making sense. The story seems really interesting so far, although Murasaki annoys the hell out of me. I know, I know, her character is pretty realistic for a bratty, rich 7 year old from some noble family, but still. |
| Re-watching I noticed something kind of weird in this episode - black-ponytail-girl (don't remember her name) found Murasaki crying alone in a park, and instead of taking her back or comforting her, she just stands ther behind a tree! This kid is 7 years old and she's crying alone in a park, why the hell doesn't she talk to her??? |
 |
| He is stupid if he goes to school when he has the job to protect Murasaki. |
 |
| That opening is really weird. Like, really, really weird, and it doesn't really fit with the tone of the show. Nonetheless, the episode itself was really fast, you really have to pay attention to the dialogue. |
| The start is a lot odder and quick into the action then I expected. Lots of names I couldn't grasp at first either. But I'm here for the long haul. And I know it premiered 3 years later but Kurenai voice is too much like Kurapika's . . . . |
 |
| Yes, you're watching the right show. |
 |
| That wasn’t too bad I actually kinda liked it...??? But the style threw me off a little |
| Looks like i stumbled upon something that might be a gem, I loved this first episode, wish it wasn't so late I'm desperate to watch the rest, I know this shows gonna be heart wrenching. |
| Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion... |
