Holy shit...I can tell by the end of this series, I'll be giving it a 10. Not many animes can get that sort of praise from me on only the first episode, but I absolutely LOVED it. I'm a sucker for romance animes, but this is like the icing on the cake and then some.

So can't wait for the next episode. This is beautiful <333 THIS is how a romance anime should be.

Doesn't seem like it's for me, but I actually did like the second half somewhat (but not the first half or the OP), so I might continue it...

I just wanted throw in my $.02 about how I too really loved this episode.

I'm not familiar with the manga, but I really enjoyed this episode. I'm a sucker for a sweet romcom and I feel like this one has more promise/potential than anything I've seen since Lovely Complex. (Not to mention... I kept on thinking of LoveCom b/c Sawako reminds me a lot of Mimi -- in looks, not personality. No?)

I can't wait to see more! I really hope the rest of the series lives up to this episode. Oooh, I'm excited!!

animation could be better but i think it suits it quite nicely. i just hope this anime doesn't go the kare/kano way... ><
Seeing as it's Production I.G, don't bet on it. Lawl
And you've gotta be kidding, this is the closes manga-to-anime art adaptation I've ever seen!
Why are you complaining!? -does karate chop on your head- >.<
It's so beautiful!! (Unless you're watching on a stream site then you SUCK! xD LAWL...I mean, that sucks..lawl xD)

This is awesome....

I really have the Honey & Clover felling in this anime, romatic with comedy but also with some of life philosophy.

Mamiko Noto really done well with Sawako

Probably one of the best show this fall

What grabbed my attention to this topic that some users watched the first episode despite the show not being the type of anime they'd like or usually watch. I was trying to get this 14 year old dude to watch this instead of Kite but he didn't.
There's romance, comedy and things we all like and agree about I mean what's wrong with that?
I loved it.

I honestly think the art on manga is better than anime, but it's just me. The storyline is good as usually, and it have a good animation. It really follows the manga smoothly, so it was good episode. Sawako <3

Episode 1

The opening wasn’t bad, but I’m not a huge fan of it either. I guess I just got really used to the openings of Clannad:

Clannad:

Clannad After Story:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2fQGHI3TwQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2fQGHI3TwQ

And Ef-a tale of melodies:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoG-450w_2w&feature=related]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoG-450w_2w&feature=related
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4lMUy-zmTg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4lMUy-zmTg (spoiler)

Where the opening is so much more than just an opening that I was expecting something similar for Kimi, so I did feel a bit disappointed when watching the opening. To be honest, I liked the promo/trailer even more than the OP.

About the songs, the OP song for some reason reminds me of Honey and Clover and I must say that it is growing on me.

I think they did a very good job selecting the seiyuus for the characters, I think the voices fit the characters very well. However, I have to admit that I was expecting a different voice for Chizu and I like it but not very much. I guess it’s because Chizu is kind of a tomboy that I was expecting another type of voice. Chizu sounded different in my head whenever I would read the chapters of the manga.

-Sawado doing her best and greeting Hirano and Endo was so hilariously adorable!!

-The moment Kaze called Sawako by her name instead of Sadako was so sweet. The animation expressing the emotions both characters felt and the music playing in the background were amazing! [url=http://www.laymark.com]Great job!

-Loved the first meeting between Chizu, Yano and Sawako in the classroom. It was so natural and great.:) The best part was Chizu crying.

-"Super positive thinking". I love Kaze but him saying that made me love him every more. Kawaiii!!!

-Kaze and Sawako protecting each other was so touching.

-The last part of the episode reminded me so much of the meeting between Tomoya and Nagisa at the bottom of the hill in Clannad. Both meetings had great significance to the characters and to their lives.

I enjoyed watching this episode greatly.

I was reminded of Honey and Clover when watching Kimi too, especially when listening to the OP song and since I adore HnC so much , the OP song gained points with me immediately.

But seriously tho, I think this will be one of the best anime of the new Fall shows. I've watched the two first episodes back to back and it was over in a flash.

Looking forward (A LOT) to more of this.

So I thought I was done watching the first episode for a long time, but ANBU-Frosti decides to sub this also.

Even through less than half the episode, I'd say that this would be the worst group, definitely not their best work. "He's not just cool, He's 100% cool."

uh it's really really awkward it feels like I started watching a anime from the last episode. And did they pack enough shojo cliche in this? The entire time I felt like I was just listing off all the cliches. Yea the Sadako reference I don't have a calculator powerful enough to add up all the titles I've seen with this. Out going pretty boy who is antipodes to the female, yea been there done that. Unpopular mostly ignored heroine with over exaggerated issues about it, I don't think I can count that high. Courage challenge where boy and girl get closer, this is only the 1244568790th time I've seen this. I also think the whole relationship is kinda flimsy, they made it out like she would jump on his dick, he so much as lent her a piece of paper. Or atleast go on about it for 20 minutes about how nice he is and wonderful.

But anyways, still gonna watch, not like I have anything else better to do, and I still think it's the best anime this season, but only for the fact that it's the only one I wanna remotely watch, so it came in first out of 1 contestants. Yay for default wins
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

OMG I can't believe KimiTodo finally got an anime adaptation <3 I love manga and I know I'm gonna love anime as well :3

I agree with all those comments about awesome animation, colors, etc. and both OP and ED are cool ^^

The only thing I'm a bit disappointed with are voices. Sawako has the same voice actor as Kanokon's Kouta-kun, which kinda ruins her image to me :s and Kazehaya-kun sounds kinda gay xD' (don't kill me, I like Namikawa Daisuke..)

Yano and Yoshida are pure win <3
