I like it. It's just silly enough for me to keep watching it and see what the next few episodes are like.

I never really read the manga or anything, but I find it ridiculous they have a separate school-ish thing just for the top students. XD I will give it a break and keep on watching though. I haven't decided for myself if this is good or not. I need a little more to find out if I'll keep on watching. But their legs are kind of long, but whatever it seems watchable.

Is the Manga worth reading? I am just wondering since a few people here mention the Manga. I might want to read that instead.

liked it because it is funny.but i think such jokes will lose their luster in a couple of episodes.absolutely hated the art and character design.what the hell is it with those legs.

what first shocked me was the art.... such loooong legs. i don't mind much the change of color of kei's hair, but i really expected a different voice. maybe i'll get used to it as the story progresses.

I didn't mind the long legs.

The episode was ok, I think. Nothing very interesting, but not boring either.

Animation was ok. Kind of like the male lead (that's not very often the case for me).

Comedy was not very funny, but at least more fun than the comedy in Vampire Knight and Soul Eater.

I enjoy it :) It's still publishing in Japan, and I think the chapters are in the 80s or something?

Finally got to watching it! Hmm. First off, I still can't stand the art. The character designs are pretty bad, animation is pretty bad (the 'action' isn't very fluid at all), the long legs are just scary (what's the point of doing that?). I don't actually like the soundtrack either, it makes certain parts sound a bit stupid. I hope they can work on that. I don't like Fukuyama Jun's portrayal of Kei either. It was just a bit off (that or the fact that Kei lost his blonde hair for some reason). I guess he sounds too much like Lelouch and it just seems off that this character is Takishima Kei. Tadashi was awesome though. Hikari's alright, but she's a lot cuter in the manga.
I agree with everything you said. I don't find him sounding like Lulu a bonus... I find it distracting. And the long legs do irritate me...

I'm glad they didn't completely cut the "balcony" scene, although they cut the rest of the birthday. But it was too flowery when they were looking at each other... I think that was a little overboard. And Hikari was cuter in the manga. Plus, I didn't remember the pulling off of the tie, and the unbuttoned shirt - perhaps I'll have to go look at the manga again. I thought it was kind of dumb ^^

I'll probably watch it just because I enjoy the manga (which a lot of people probably will, too). And it's not bad, truth be told. It's average... and what's wrong with a little average? As long as they don't go Tsubasa Chronicles on me, I'll keep this one in my list ^^

the art was freakish, but not bad enough to make me drop it. i got used to it.

i will keep watching this for the lolz, and because i am actually interested in the story.(as cliche as it may seem)

not too fond of the music, but well... what can i do...

i completely noticed lelouch's VA (yaeh, i dont know his name yet), and Yuku Goto, but i thought they did a good job.

Okay, where did that come from? I don't remember the manga (the first volume, anyway; that's all I've read thus far) being this awesome! It looks really nice, and such a great sense of humor~ it gave me Ouran vibes. (The jumping competition was pretty overly silly, though.) This might actually be my favorite of the big three spring 2008 shoujo at the moment.

I thought everybody talking about the long limbs was exaggerating, but... wow. Those are some long legs.

oh, these little earthquakes

I didn't really notice the skinnyness.


Yeah, I really liked that. Both this and Itazura have been surprisingly good, and while I'm not as fond of kure-nai as some, I think it's pretty decent.

So, three good shoujo's this season. =D

so a few things...

first the animation xD
I think they have the potential to make the art better... the way they did it... how do I say it, they look like sticks. so freaking skinny and tall O_O

second, the anime seem normal. cute, but normal. nothing really special. but who says thats a bad thing? I liked it. Im definetly going to keep watching =D

third, they are so cute together xD the girl kind of reminds me of tenma(?) from school rumble. forgot how to spell her name =O
but yeah.

in conclusion, Im looking foward to the next episode

I actually liked the art. ._.; And I noticed the weird legs, but, eh, it didn't bother me. I really liked Episode 1. Megumi reminded me a little of Ichijou from Pani Poni Dash! <333 All of the characters are loveable already, and it was definately enjoyable. I can't wait for the next episode!

same again...but i'm going to stick with it till the end, as i luv the manga >_<..
what does put me off is when i see Kei 'love-expression-face' towards Hikari..sometimes the love-looks in his face kinda give me the impression of a child-looking-at-candy-that-he-wants-soo-much..(totally not cool, which makes me laugh at the end lol..)

and yeah Hikari a lot more cuter in manga, i couldn't help it but part of her character somewhat reminds me of Minami Kana/Miu..hopefully i can cast a spell soon...be gone unsatisfied feeling..

What is this CLAMP? good episode starting off, in the beginning and middle of the episode I was semi turned off by some of the characters, however by the end I just about made good with all of em. Look forward to a good series.

Go Yuko Goto!

What was -this-? I'm totally disappointed. The character designs are a bit off, and the romancy lovey-dovey stuff is just too much and too soon. -_-'' But since I enjoyed the manga, I'll force myself to see it through, I guess. Hope there's better stuff coming up.

So far the concept is great, but I can't get over their leg length! Loving the comedy side of it as well :)

A really good first episode.

Great intro into the 2 main characters and the rest of the SA class.
The artwork on this one is a little different, but not terrible.
The story took a good jumping off point.
the writing is funny and the character interesting.

Let's go to Ep 2 and see what happens.

Didn't like the looooong/thiiiiiin legs, I thought they spent a bit too much time making introductions of people. The (visual) jokes I thought were over the top, and I didn't find them funny.
