THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I decided to check this one out since it's kasai kenichi directing (honey and clover, nodame).

Decently entertaining first ep, though you can easily tell it comes from a dating sim. A bunch of big voice actors in this one as well.

Interested in seeing how kasai does directing this one

I really loved this in all actuality, I thought the animation was nice and the show gave a good feeling. Despite a lot of cliché happenings, I'm looking forward to the next episode. I'm such a sucker for this romantic lovey-dovey stuff. ^^;;

I liked this episode as well in all honesty. It was cute, and made me extremely happy. I really like the animation. The ending made me smile despite it being somewhat cliche :D. I'm really curious to see what happens next.

Yess that was a great episode, all the beautiful girls, and especially Futami at the end. I would've gladly taken that kiss.

Man, I didn't really expect anything but I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! It was funny, the art is very nice, the girls are beautiful and the music fits as well. I don't care about the clichés - if that's what's entertaining, then why not.

Mao is a great girl, and I really like Eriko a lot as well - even if I haven't seen much of her in the first episode. Definitely looking forward to more!

On a site note, I noticed that lately, a lot of anime put scenes or pictures of the latest episode into the ED of said episode.

It/s better than i expected... The characters are dynamic in their stereotypes... which makes itfun to watch. ^_^

though i kind of expected the paper airplanes to konk Aihara on the head. XD

Mao reminds me of Yoshino from Marimite,... for obvious reasons.

Definitely better then what I was expecting. Like the animation, the music is nice, and the characters are pretty awesome. Definitely looking forward to watching more of this.

It was alright, didnt quite live up to my expectations, but whatever. I agree on the animation, like it. Even though this does look like another typical romance anime, i'll still keep watching it.

Everyone seems more excited about this episode than it left me feeling ... which I find odd, because went it comes to romance stuff, I'm usually the first in line which a huge bucket of popcorn! My first thought after I watched this was "I felt like I just watched the first episode of Days of Our Lives or the Young and the Restless" xD

I'm normally not into harem (aside from a few specifics) so I was excited when I saw there was a lot of men to back up the women characters, but at the same time, it has the potential, I think, to turn into a full fledged soap opera :S Shows based off of dating sims and rpgs usually leave me a little wary as well. But I can't say that I have any previous experience in shows like this, so my opinion probably doesn't count for much!

I thought the art was great, and the characters definitely have the potential to be interesting, so I'm going to keep going with this for the moment. I'm really going to have to start weeding out some of the new anime soon though -- I don't have enough time to watch all this season's series that I've been checking out xD

From a male standing I am not too sure why I get so caught up in romantic dramas. I guess I would say it is a dream to me, on account that love never seems to be that romantic in real life. In summary, sucker for romantic drama = loved this show.

Added plus (at least in my book), directed by Kenichi Kasai, who directed Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile.

yea u can tell is from a data sim but if they do it right it could be alot better than the average romance anime, you kno what i mean the old boy meet girl, boy likes girl but is 2 shy 2 tell and we have 2 wait 24 till builds up confidence and final ask her out or kisses her. it looks like there could be quite abit of drama + the first ep was pretty good.
yea im looking forward 2 the next ep

All in all, a good first episode. The plot's not too cliche (insert accent over the "e" XD), and it's not an actual harem, what with all the boys there along with girls.

Decided to pick this up and see how it is. It was an okay episode. Cute, but a tad cliche like others said and I'm not a big fan of cliche at all, but I still have 3 more eps to watch to catch up!

To be honest I just started watching it right after completing the Itazura na Kiss. Right now I'm in the middle of Hatsukoi Limited, which is pretty similar to this anime.
So, my opinion after watching the 1 episode is positive. Maybe to ecchi to me but alright. The shower scene was quite nasty but really funny. Only Kazuki recognises his childhood friend Mao-chan;)
We also meet other female characters, but still I see nothing innovative in this series.
I think I might watch it to the end:)
I'm starting to like this kind of anime.

well i just watched this ep again after i have read the manga and i don't really know what i should think of this series. well the mana didn't have much drama or so in it and it seems to me that they will make through the boys that they have added a little more dramatic.

i don't know why but i liked the manga it was how in the amagami ss anime now. well i will watch it through and i hope it will be good show.

Excellent for a dating sim adaptation. Unfortunately you can still tell it's one from the awkward dialogues and disproportionate male:female ratio.

I loved the bits of humor and introspection beginning around 10:05 and ending at the intermission. I hope to see more of this stuff in the coming episodes. The dialogue in general made me cringe but I doubt there was much to redeem from the original material. Director Kasai did a fine job of making the show this watchable.

A rather nice start of this anime! Some nice characters that got introduced and directly some relationships covered that might develop later on in the story! The ending was a bit unexpecting as a direct kiss in the first episode that's rather epic in a way! That's sure is a nice experiment to try out :p

Lets see what this anime has to offer!

Mao gets on my nerves. She really just barged in without introducing herself after a long ass time and she stole his room? Yo that's messed up.

Seems like there's going to be multiple pairs. Thought it was going to be like Amagami or something.

Okay episode.

Watched this series a few years ago. Forget all about it until I stumbled across it a few days ago on myanimelist. The moment I saw the name and the picture I was hit with a tsunami of mixed feelings. Both good and bad. Heart wrench and nostalgia are two examples.

I don't normally particularly like harem anime however this anime is an exception. After rewatching this episode I can tell you all that this anime will be a big RIDE. So be prepared!!

Take your sides now and get ready for war and tears!
