| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great episode that was quite consistent with the original light novel in terms of overall atmosphere and the artwork. However, if you are planning to read the light novel series in the future, I highly suggest you to watch this after finishing the light novel (well, the U.S. translation has just begun and it will take a number of years to finish translating the series...), since the animation contains major spoilers. |

| It is subbed now by Taco. I thought it was pretty good. The art is amazing, but I expect nothing less from Production IG. I can't wait to see the next episode when there will be more of an interaction between Konoha and Touko. So are literature girls like...supernatural or something? Why can they only survive off of eating books? |

| I loved this episode, Touko was so cute~ The artwork was beautiful and the pacing was nice and also I loved the ending song~ |
 |
| Pretty good episode. The Hatsukoi OVA felt a bit random, so this was definitely a pleasent surprise. Now I'm looking forward to the remaining two OVAs and of course, the movie. |
 |
| The ending was nice. I can relate to her happiness of reading books, although I have no idea what she's talking about when she's comparing different tastes... |
| Pretty good first episode. The character design is kind of similar to CLAMP, with the eyes and their characters' figures. Music and voice acting was great. Miyano Mamoru and Kana Hanazawa, two of my favorite seiyuus, did a good job here. It felt kinda short though. Looking forward to the next episode and the movie. I might try the other OVA now ^^ |
 |
| Ah... a maiden in love is such a beautiful sight :) Lovely~ |
| Ahhhhhh~ I just can't help but fall in love with Touko's cuteness. The premise is quite clever and I love how she imagines these books, experiencing them along the way. |

| That was really, really good. Everything from the art to the voice acting and the premise of the story etc... Very interesting. Loved the part when she was walking home after having read the book for the first time. |
 |
| Nice prelude to the movie, I can't wait for this movie!! I love Touko, I can't wait to read these novels, I'm still waiting for my volume 1 to come in the mail. I was so excited when I heard they were releasing these!! Needz Moar Book Girl!! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| lol i'd imagine this is what an acid trip would be like It was quite enjoyable though =D |

| I'm glad someone mention me to watch this, since they knew this would be up my alley and they were right. It was very enjoyable. Everything was done really great. |

| I really loved it. And I actually came to it via the review in your blog, stevewiess01, so thanks :). BTW, what was the big spoiler only revealed at the end of the light novels? I just read the synopsis of the 2009 OVA and it basically had all the stuff from this one I'd think might only be revealed late ron in the book ... So what is it? Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the movie. If it is as awesome as the OVA I can imagine it being licensed, at least either in the US or in Europe. Because book-lovers can be found all around the world :). Gonna watch the earlier OVA now, as I fell in love with Touko, shes such a wonderfully happy-go-lucky literature-loving girl :). |

To answer your question... |

| Very Good so far. It sure lived up to my expectations pretty quickly. Just makes me wonder about the next 2 episodes. |
| The first ep was 10/10, didn't expect it to be so good, so looking forward to the next ep. |
 |
| I've only read the first volume of the light novel, but even so, I didn't mind the spoilery elements in here. The atmosphere, colors, animation are all exactly how I pictured it would be -- really warm and cozy. Touko sounds adorable~ |
     |
| Very good first episode & Touko is so adorable~ Now waiting for the next episode.... |
| can i watch this without watching that sequal that came out before this? |
 |
| I felt like Touko-chan reading Similar to the Sky while watching this episode. It was so good!!! It was sweet and bitter!!! An epic start... I can't wait for the sub of the whole movie. Would love to see how good it's going to be. Kudo to Production I.G.!!! |

| that was actually really really good, like omg it's been like months since i have seen a show without all te fan service and sht lol |
 |
| I liked the first episode and Touko is so cute. |
| This was really good! Loved the OP and ED. Perhaps if I would have eaten my math textbooks I wouldn't suck at it so much... |
 |
| I really liked the first episode. I've never heard of this before and found this anime by coincidence. I don't now why this anime is so un-popular,many major/popular voice actors are in this show like: Kana Hanazawa, Aya Hirano, Nana Mizuki, Miyu Arino, Mamoru Miyano. |
 |
| tooko-chan or literature girl banzai funny I like the energy of this anime nice and energitic random sometimes too She just had to lose both her parents |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

Actually you should watch the movie, or read the light novel before watching Memoire. |
| It was really good, especially it features a lot of Touko brother. Ahh Touko is just so cute XD |
| Interesting episode. Hm, I wonder if seeing the movie before this was a bad idea. |
 |
| Touko is love <3. Her brother was also nice when he searched in all of her favorite places to find her <3. |
| I love this!!! I like touko's cousin! :) hope the subs for the episode 3 will come out soon!:) |
Like it a nice humor and interesting starter !! |
|
| Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. 2 of my favorite seiyuus! Hanazawa's voice is so lovely. This episode was lovely itself. Excited for the movie. |

| The movie would've made alot more sense if I watched this first..more background info ^^ |
| The seiyuus are nice. Didn't really like the character art IMHO but first ep was okay. 3/5 |

| Woa, I didn't expect this episode to be this good. |
 |
| Quite a nice episode, the story seems quite enjoyable with a tender touch to it, the OP and ED are also quite suiting to the global feel and style of it. I'll be first watching this before the movie so let's see how these 3 ova's will bring us! |
 |
| Watched the movie before watching this prequel. Gotta say, I was a bit surprised at the fact that Tohko helped in the process of picking the winning novel (Konoha's) in the contest. |
 |
| This first OVA I liked it and shows a side of the life of love that makes the whole project more interesting, featuring the character and an idea of what happens in the beginning of the movie. |
 |
| I enjoyed this much more than the OVA. Nice start. |
| Not bad , but the plot is LOL. |
 |
| just watched the movie last night, and started watching the ova version~ boy, it's still good as usual |
