The show would have been perfectly fine if it just continued like the first half and the character while where 5th graders, still acted as they did from the start. Edit: In short, the comedy is just not good to me. It's cringy, not funny. 1. it's the age difference that bothers everyone in the thread, and then the dick jokes if there was no "10 year old hot boys" thing going on, most people would be onboard 2. gintama, danshi nichijou AND detroit metal city uses the same kind of stupid and crude humour but they are all praised heavily |

Not for me, it's the cringy behavior. 2. Never watched any of those, and even if I had, I doubt they are anywhere near as cringy. Sure they may have immature jokes in them, but likely not in the same manner. Not to mention do those ones you listed have anything to do with relationships / romance? |

| It's a little cute and funny but weird af to, lol. When the guy with the blue hair talks I feel pretty uncomfortable, his voice is so deep. But I don't know, i don't feel like it's going to go somewhere near to interesting, another anime to see when you are boring, nothing more. |
| Well, that was, eh....yeah... Good to see that Deen is back to old form. |
 |
| Wow, I watched that without reading the synopsis...not what I expected. It was lol, but also uncomfortable. I don't know where they can go with this. I will probably give it another episode... |

arisu_otherworld said: Kyofushibibi said: Age doesn't exist in anime! Ahaha it's a lie. Pretty much the reason why Renge from Non Non Biyori has a fan base and body pillows. If the character is cute, age is thrown out the window in favor of loving the crap out of them. Most of my waifus and husbandos are high schoolers urghhh. :,,^) IKR!!!!! XDXDXDXD I cant believe my waifus includes Saber Arturia and Ruler Jeanne who are both dead centuries ago ( οΌ∀οΌ)πππ Also luckily, this anime episode had someone sane enough to be against the relationship of the girl and the 5th grader tho xD It doesnt change the fact I dont really like him tho.-. We have the same waifus!! Ahh Saber and Jeanne are too beautiful ; 3 ; Lancer (Cu Chulainn) and Shirou are my husbs ahhh |
| I've seen a lot of bad shows, but man, this was the worst pile of trash to ever get a green light. Shouldn't girls want guys who aren't childish (and/or) actual children? Who does this appeal to? |
 |
| lmao this anime is hella funny. who cares they are 5th grader?? i enjoyed the comedy very much xDDD |
| So a highschool girl that looks 12, and an a elementary school boy that looks like he's 20 something. I think I can get behind this, the first episode was hilarious. |
 |
| Just seeing men who are actually 5th graders in boy shorts parading around a playground is hilarious. |
| For some reason, I think the main 5th graders are all a farce, and are actually older than they seem to be. Then I remember that this show seems to be parodying various aspects of shoujo. Hmm........ I was kind of looking forward to this series, since it sounded so bizarre and comedic that I might actually enjoy it, but eh. This first episode honestly doesn't make me want to watch more of this anime. If the comedy based on this first episode is just going to have wiener jokes (or a similar type of joke being repeated over and over), then it's not going to make me laugh. Nor calling Kouta a virgin over and over again (though he was pretty cute). There were some parts that I laughed at, but it was mostly due to Kaho's insta-love feels after knowing Kanade for like what, 5 minutes? Love makes the world go round indeed. Also, the animation for this episode was kind of cheap, and didn't really look good. Who thought the rainbow sequence when a close-up of Kaho with her hair blowing in the wind is shown was a good idea? Those 3 scenes looked like they were made on WMM. The ending was also pretty boring with the repeated shots, and Studio DEEN's done better to be honest. While the show does have potential in the future, as it has a music score that is able to match the kookiness, and cute little Kouta, I don't see myself continuing it. Maybe the manga will be better? I'm not sure. But I need to remind myself to pay more attention to Takayuki Inagaki directing future shows. Despite him doing Rosairo + Vampire, there could be a Sky Wizards Academy lurking in the shadows. And I don't want that. |
| Looks like age and size have no meaning in this anime. I had no idea that there is a market for girls that want to hit on grade schoolers that look like teenagers, but apperently there is. At any rate, this was just weird and unfunny. |
| If people continue to bring up the same old shota/pedophile discussion in this thread I'm gonna touch them with my WIENER HANDS! Make your choice, folks. |
| Keep in mind, people, that 5th grade and starting highschool means that they COULD be 12 and 14 years old respectively. Now, I seriously doubt it. But it is possible. |
| Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. - WB Yeats |
| i feel somewhat conflicted.. |
| I don't know how to react to a bishounen fifth grader teaching his friend the glory of pole climbing in a deep mature voice. I hope this takes the gyagu route. |
| Como on, they can't be 5th graders! Only if they repeated grades...and they are kinda stupid... |

Hanane said: The romance is so dumb that it feels like it's trying to make a parody out of shoujo romance The op was awesome <3 The comedy is the only thing I'm gonna look forward to in this show "Trying" isn't it a parody? This shit can't possibly be taken seriously. |
| o_____O This thing is weird. *continues to watch* IDK. XD Kaz is best boy, yes, I'm a filthy shota-lover ARREST ME |

| Man, I tried to watch this since my friend recommended it... normally I would have loved this because of the penis joke humor which was awesome, plus pretty and interesting guys... Even the other girl in the show was fun... but the main girl was just... god awful. Everything I hate about anime girls. I couldn't continue because of her. She ruined the comedy of the guys playing around with her hentai scream of finally realizing they were saying CHINKO(penis) after they said it many times, some minutes before. I don't understand why they had to give her such a high-pitched, ear-raping, falsetto voice, and to top that, make her every Shoujo/Otome girl stereotype. I wish Shoujo genre would evolve already to feature actually relatable/admirable main girl characters. Give the girl a brain, don't make her movements like an extremely girly idol model. And clothes that don't make her look like she came out of a male-oriented moe anime. The pantyshots bugged me too, even if she wore those bloomer things. It really felt like they made her more as a fanservice to any straight males that would dare to watch this. Sorry for the long rant. Just fed up with this. |

Watch Shirayuki Hime and Akatsuki No Yona? The pantyshots bugged me too, even if she wore those bloomer things. It really felt like they made her more as a fanservice to any straight males that would dare to watch this. Fanservice? But those were just frilly pajamas....lots of girls have them? |

Yes, I have watched those, and they are examples of Shoujo I'd say are evolving, but this is not like those at all. I am saying that this is why I was disappointed, and why I am no longer watching. With the fanservice of that up-skirt, it's the pose and erotic tone given (shiny, bent, and spread-open legs), not really the clothing. I think even with full on long pants, it'd be rather erotic to show an angle viewing upwards from the floor up towards someone's butt rather than their face. I think it was just unnecessary, especially since it was to be a comedic scene and it was totally unrelated to whatever was happening at the time. She didn't fall or anything... she was just on the balcony and for some reason they showed behind up-skirting her, where nobody in the world would ever be. It's just weird and totally suspicious. It's the equivalent of doing the exact same thing with a man, in a series aimed at men. It would totally set a riot, but it doesn't here because we're expected to accept this as the unfair life. |

I think it was published in a shounen genre anthology, though. |

Coincidentally, I'm watching InuxBoku as well. It is a much better show of course. XD Yes, I think it is shounen but they made the guys to appeal to female audiences too, that's for certain! |

Having action and supernatural in it. The female being able too. It's one anime that really would appeal to anyone without being overly one or the other. XD |

| For a bit there it looked like they were gonna ignore the primary school angle and have him act like a high schooler anyway. |
 |
| So...what grade is the female MC anyway? Did I miss that? Cuz 5th grade doesn't seem as bad as like...second grade or something Although them being taller than all the other grade schoolers...WUT THE... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| Honestly, I don't know what to think about this show. I only watched this episode and I felt like an old woman spending time with kindergarten children, I had headache. Everything happened so fast - meeting, dating and all. Also, too many characters just in one ep. I am watching the dubbed version and one of the fifth graders has the voice of an at least 35 year old man, which makes the show even more absurd than it already is. The romantic moments between two main characters like "I'll always protect you" seem kinda rushed and irrelevant. It is like they are there to keep us watching the show. I don't know. It is still early for me to decide, I'll keep watching. Btw, I like character designs. |

| why does this have such a phenomenally poor rating? |
 |
| Omg, this is so bad and wrong in many ways.. |
 |
| Well.. I just.. don't know how I feel about this anime. I feel like a pedophile just watching it.. |
| One hella odd episode/anime, "IS THIS WHAT ALL PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS ARE LIKE THESE DAYS?" man welcome to the future...Come on xD A 5-grader ;-; they made the guys appearance of look like 18-20 ish old and the design of the clothing of a 5-grader..... so sad, and weird/hilarious looking D Kinda Air-headed shy main girl. Just another odd anime.. but still kinda like it.. xD wiener touch.. The op in other hand,Awesome music, and the visual can only describe as a air-headed overdonetypicalanime flashy-flashy kawaii visual.. |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
