It wasn't really as good as I expected, but Haruka is so cute. I think she looks a lot like Sayuri from Kanon...

Did anyone besides me love the piano music she played? That was the key point of the episode. You'll often find in anime that a bunch of people in the anime will say, "______ is so beautiful!!!!!!!", and you'll be thinking, "Uhhhh....no."
But in this case, the music really was relaxing and awe-inducing. I DEFINITELY want the sheet music for that...

IT was a rlly sweet first episode :3 I think this anime will do fine if it does not turn into a generic Harem & I pray to GOD that there is no Tsundere rival girl.

Wow that was awesome.
Haruka is so cute and having Noto-san's voice just makes it even better!

I got quite a few laughs out of this episode so I can't wait till 2 :3

It was alright, though I would have preferred it if Nogizaka wasn't the passive/quiet type... seeing as she is popular I expected her to be loud and confident. (well aside from confidence in her anime hobby)

The ED dance put me off thou, the dance was badly animated and the moves didn't really fit IMO. It's obvious they tried to copy the 'Hare Hare Yukai' succes.


It'd do some good to read things first before assuming thing >_>

sylphic said:
Actually, the dance in the ED is the Otagei or whatever it was called. I read about it on a blog but I can't find it anymore. It's a famous dance that's kind of become THE dance for otakus in Japan. They're not trying to create a new Motteke Sailor Fuku or Hare Hare Yukai.

I like this anime, I'll continue to watch this. Though I expected Haruka to be tsundere for some reason...

too much hate for the ED, i thought it was good.

it was kind of what i was expecting, and i liked it.
the OP/ED caught me off guard though, i loved it.

haruka is just moe overload. she is also voiced by Mamiko Noto, which is just a big plus
Yuuto's sisters were.... weird.... not annoying, but weird...
back to haruka's moeness... i didn't really expected her to be the clumsy type... but i do guess that she has more secrets.
besides, i saw a couple of pantsu xD
even if there is no plot, i will most likely keep on watching it due to the lack of good animes this season, and because of haruka's cuteness.
well, the comedy wasn't that bad either...
the ED animation wasn't that bad, come on people, look at the bright side, the song is not that bad anyways...

PS: what kind of ringtone is that XD... also, i want the singles NAO

can't wait till m.3.3.w - Bakawolf release EP2

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Now that was way better than I thought it'd be. The main character doesn't annoy me! He actually pleases me. The fanservice is more for the viewers than for him, because he didn't get all flustered around Hakura. He did blush, but nothing that would put him on the same level as 99% of the male leads for this type of anime. Haruka is almost a Mary Sue, but her cuteness and sillyness makes me like her.

This show has kept my interest for at least 4 more episodes.

nice episode, I hope the series will improve a bit, though. There were some funny moments but, well, there could be more.

The ED is pure and epic win. I can't get it out of my head. *sing*

Eh, I don't know if I'll like this anime. I'm hoping it'll gt better. I start watching it with no expectations. I didn't even know what it was about. I just thought I'd check it out because the animation looked nice.

I already sort of hate Haruka. I dislike characters in anime that are made to be perfect, but yet they're so modest about it. It gets so annoying. I think her clumsiness is cute though. I don't really like the plot either. I mean, is it really just about her secret obsession with anime? I thought that was pretty normal in Japan. I live in America and it's looked down on as being so geeky, but I couldn't care less who knows about it. So thats definitely gonna get on my nerves.

I'll keep watching though. Maybe it'll get better. Afterall its only 12 episodes.

Well all I can say is that they sure know their audience. And that one kid's name is Nobunaga. I find that hilarious XD

It was enjoyable, but it wasn't anything special. The show has an interesting OP / ED.

I didn't really like how Haruka initially reacted when Yuuto found out the truth, but now that the situations cleared up, I feel much better about the show.

Hmm it seems okay enough to keep watching. Haruka's fans are probably going to keep harassing Ayase in the succeeding episodes. Hope it doesn't go down that route.

Quiet enjoyable first episode.
Impressive dance animation during the ED.
This anime looks like its from around 2003, considering other anime in 2008 looked more modern in artstyle and color palate.
