| im still trying to figure out when in the fuck i just watched |
 |
| You guys do know that "gay" also means "happy", don't you? |
 |
| I kind of have a problem with it feeling like they reused some of the music from Natsu no Arashi. The two shows have pretty much the same feel, except this seems to be less absurd, so it's less funny. |
| Kind of felt like it was trying too hard. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
 I'm not sure but that looks like a 300 reference! I hated that movie lol. That book shelf always changes with new references. I think midori no hibi is on that too. As always they like to do random references about everything. It was an OKAY episode. Seems like the first couple of posts hate the show... it was alright, I found it funny a couple of times... The characters were okay. I'm not really a fan of shaft art but I sometimes like the way they present the animation. It's good enough for me to finish from beginning to end. |

| Funny episode! Let me see if I can get this right: Sanada likes Arashiyama, while Tatsuno likes Sanada. I can't wait to see how this all turns out. Unfortunately, there are a few things that don't seem right in this show. You are not going to make me believe that Harihara is a girl and a high school student. She is the homeliest thing I've seen in the history of anime!!! Isohata is not a grandma, but is a grandpa for sure!! |
 |
| I wasn't planning to watching this but i took a look and its great (: |
| I liked it, maybe not that funny, but very relaxing show. Hoping for some Arashiyama x Sanada development. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Weird anime to me somehow... the comedy is not really funny, the 2D animations are fine but doesn't really match the 3Ds... especially when the CGI sucks (classroom scene, the tables are floating in the classroom). |

VillettaIchihara said: Agreed much: I liked this episode, made me laugh on a couple occasion =D. Looking forward for more =) |
| This reminded me of Araka- Wait.. SHAFT?? Then, I'm watching this.. :) |
| I expected horrible overused MEIDO fanservice, instead I got something that is actually nice to watch and not full of crap |
| Yea it wasnt till the math teacher started lecturing her that I realized he is voiced by Tomakazu Sugita, that alone makes this episode good. I thought this would be a spoof/parody anime at first, decent jokes, and didnt rely on anything moe, if anything it looked like it was making fun of the concept. Definitely worth it. |
| Overall... interesting. I really liked the OP because I looove Round Table, but some of the jokes weren't quite funny and the exposition was pretty weak. The characters are more or less the same ideas that Arakawa had - give everyone a gimmick and repeat - so that could get annoying. I personally was impressed with the visuals, seeing as SHAFT is usually rather un-fluid (though it is their style). The ED was fine, and I was confused by the weird porcupine bear thing that kept saying poko. Maybe it's because I don't understand Japanese... but are puns really so funny as to insert them with the scene transition? The teacher was hilarious though~ 'How did you confuse the soda machine with the coffee machine. We need to have a serious talk!' |
| I knew I heard that annoying voice somewhere, it is Maka from Soul Eater! Damn the voice makes the character annoying intentionally! Well that voice did fit P-ko for Arakawa Under the Bridge. Kinda funny how they trick the teacher but that was pretty it. |
| didn't laugh that much but it was interesting ;) |

| This was... werid. Lol. Will be continueing it but I'm not sure if I liked it yet. Haha, xp |
 |
| Sigh. Everything's off the mark, here. Character designs, voice talent, humour/punch lines. (And the ED karaoke but that's a fansub thing.) And I'm kind of over maid cafes with girls called Arashiyama (Natsu no Arashi, anyone?). Idk, maybe it'll get better with some tighter characterisation and gags. Nice they got ROUND TABLE, though. Ah, nostalgia. +I can't believe my bb, Sakurai Takahiro, is doing the voice of the Head Maid/owner! MY MIND, IT IS BLOWN. |
| I didn't really like this episode.. but I think the second half was better than the first. I'll give this another try, but it's definitely not my favorite this season. |
| It was ok. There were funny parts, but didn't find it that funny overall. And that one character is the definition of fugly. Tough to look at. |

lvlachine said: llamaben said: I disliked pretty much everything about it. Annoying characters, some non-fitting voices, fail attempts at comedy, and bad OP/ED songs. The pace was fine, and animation was surprisingly good for shaft, but they don't make up for the rest of the crap dished up. Starting at 3/10. my thoughts exactly... Me too. It was worst than Black & white (Grey) |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| The OP and ED sequences are the best part of the show. |
zinvince said: Hmm I don't understand the hate. Unique characters, voices fit especially main girl sounds like an idiot, some good satire and subtle humour. Teacher was hilarious. OP omg one of the best this season, however ED was..differentlvlachine said: llamaben said: I disliked pretty much everything about it.

| Oh, really funny yah:D |
 |
| The important thing to remember is that the main character is SUPPOSED to be annoying. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I don't really like it but it has something... makes me wonder what'll happen in the next episodes (if there'll be romance etc). But I kinda like the teacher, the only char who wasn't that bad this episode... I sort of dislike the main char since she's so... unrefined? The "real" maid is kinda bitchy, it wasn't funny when she let the other girl trip and fall like 3 times... it's just not funny nor cute >.< |
| I didn't laugh but I found it to be overly enjoyable. I have a feeling I'm going to like this show a lot. Thank you based SHAFT. Also, the ED is glorious. |
 |
| I liked it. This episode was pretty funny; though the level of humor was not exactly consistent. Still, consistency issues aside, I thought that this was a good start overall. Also, the OP and the ED are both quite entertaining. |
| Hmmm, well first off the animation is great. As expected. The artstyle is not my favorite. The OP and ED are good. Especially when it comes to character animation. I'm worried that this will become repetitive after awhile. The first episode was good. So far it's a low 7/10 |
 |
| Pretty nice start I really like the characters and voice actors chosen for it, they actually quite fit the personalities of each character! Pretty decent pacing and nice art so let's see what this show has to offer us! |
 |
| i like slice of life but there's just too much energy that it turns me away. i'm off this ride. dropped. |
| I'm not saying it interesting,but i feel it will,looking forward for next episodes |
| Nice! I really love the manga, so it's nice to see it animated. |
 |
| God, the voice of the main girl is extremely grating. Comedy was so-so. Will give the second episode a try. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| The OP is top tier, and the ED is very enjoyable. I love the first episode, SHAFT ftw! |
| Re-watching after reading the manga some months ago, and this episode kind of sucks. |
| Poor sensei that never believed got dumped on crushed cafe like that. Atleast some fanservices had enough closurement for my silence giggled xd |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| After 1st ep I'd say it pretty standard slapstick series hidden behind SHAFT visuals and pacing; meaning that pacing and comedic tension (mostly simple constrast between expectation and the way it is contradicted) is drawn well, with effort in animation and framing as well as well adjusted tempo and rythm of events to voice acting. So far tho, I don't feel it elevating the content in any substantial way. It will all boild down to creativity in execution and overal tone of the series. I'll just see how it goes. |
| This was really good and I enjoyed it and laughed hard many times My dear Sakurai-San has never failed to impress me with his amazing acting talent and his professionalism. |
| It was peculiar this first chapter xd It was entertaining, the opening and ending are good. |
