| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A sad beginning, but it seems it is going to be a funny anime. :> |
 |
| lovely first episode! definetly going to watch this one. i really enjoyed the comedy in this episode xD |
| that was an absolutely fantastic first episode, kotoura-san forever |
 |
| ALL OF MY FEELS!!! So far favorite of the season. |
 |
| Thinking this was a comedy anime... Oh my God! I didn't expect this anime to start off with the drama! This is much better than I thought! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Didn't see that coming. I'll probably enjoy watching this. :3 |
 |
| Wow the beggining was quite hardcore. Kinda depressing. |
| The drama in the beginning was just great. I don't like the main charakter too much because she seems a litle plain but Manabe is interesting. Manabe don't seem to bee the average guy character from anime. I realy hope this anime turns out good, bekause at last the plot has realy much potenttial. 5/5 |
| Even though the first half was really depressing it was a great episode for sure. Looking forward to next episode already. |
 |
| yes, this was sad start but when Manabe thoughts jump in I couldn't stop laughing and somehow I ended up smiling for the rest of episode as much as dislike characters like him - this time being not the brightest simpleton worked nice here best first episode of season (not taking into account Minami-ke) |
| Holy Sheet, what a great first episode, Freaking mother and father! how you do that! |
 |
| Oh wow, this was an extremely surprising anime. Her past was pretty saddening and horrible but dam, the show sure brightened up fast. |

| Finally something of the winter season, what seems to be good just by the first episode.. ^^ |
| that was.. wow.. such a good episode. |
  |
| worst fucking parents |
| I really enjoyed this episode, I just expected some generic sitcom. First surprise from 2013 :D |
| It was so good. Can't wait for the next episode :) |
 |
| Looks really promising so far. I just didn't expect it to be so depressing for a first episode. But, I definitely liked it. |
| Those parents, especially the mother. I've never wanted to strangle anyone this badly before. |
| Wow, I agree with everyone, this was definitely a surprise. Never saw a comedy start with such heavy drama. Seems really interesting, looking forward to next episode! |

| Didn't really like the animation style, but the rest was quite good. |
 |
| That was the saddest start to a comedy I've ever seen--but also one of the best. Having established just why Kotoura is the way she is so thoroughly, I hope we never have to go through that again. I see that the grandfather and the priest made a reappearance in some of the scenes under the ED, but was that also her mother shown there? If it is, she has a lot to make up for. And a big reminder that discretion is a cardinal virtue for telepaths, empaths, and anyone with powers out of the ordinary. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Everything was going so gloomy at first then half way through it did a complete 180 and made me laugh so hard. That guy is a total idiot that its great he is one for Kotoura. |
 |
| Wow. I didn't expect that level of awesomeness. |
 |
| Wow. I stumbled on this show just checking out new releases by HorribleSubs, and OMG what a great find. I actually got the feels during the first half seeing Kotoura's past. Very few anime/shows that I've seen have pulled that off. I know this show is first and foremost a comedy and we likely wont see this level of darkness for the rest of the season, but I like the somewhat unique premise of the show. Definitely one to watch for this season. |

|
| Generic School Life anime with a interesting twist. This looks really promising |
 |
| A very enjoyable start, totally surpassed my expectation. |
 |
 |
| Not bad |
| I don't...what? Where in holy hell did that come from? It was far from the greatest executed drama, but I was so taken aback by it coming from what I thought was going to be a dumb cutesy fluffy comedy that it ended up getting beneath my natural cynicism barrier. |
The Cart Driver <-- My awesome anime blog |
| I knew it that this anime hold something special Glad it met my expectations I like Manabe a lot and glad that Manabe be friend with Kotoura I really hate Kotoura's mom For now, this is one of the best first episode of the season |

| Did not like the first episode very much... I'll probably drop it after two-three eps. |
 |
| I like the boy here, doesn't care about Kotoura's power. This should be fun watch. |
 |
| A pleasant surprise. Wasn't sure whether to even watch the first episode but glad I did. |
rafi160 said: Holy Sheet, what a great first episode, Freaking mother and father! how you do that! resentment and misdirected hostility. Father was a loser for bailing on the problem. Most likely do to the fact that he was a stereotypical sexist douche to begin with. Mother, at first you could simply say was run ragged by dealing with it on her own. Given Japanese intolerance towards "tough issues". In the end she just lost patience and turned on the object of her agony, Haruka. I think by the end. Their marriage was one big lie. Neither loved each other anyone. Haruka just could see the lies and called them on it. I guess instead of realizing it wasn't working and dealing with it. They tried the sugarcoat method. And when that failed. The one who blew it up was the one to receive the most vitriol. Still, I can never forgive any parent who says what she did when she left. megucas said: This is supposed to be a comedy? That intro was way too dark for any show, let alone some comedy. Then it flips on a dime into this generic comedy. I have no idea what it's trying to be at this point. It's just too depressing for me to like. I really think the beginning agony is character development. You needed to see how Haruka came to be the way she is. In order to understand how she'll act throughout the series. Even in this episode the beginning part let you understand why Haruka got angry over the MC saying that her ESP was awesome. To her it's a curse. |

| So, who else thought of Satori Komeji? |
| holy crap only episode one and I managed to tear up xD The second half made up for it though :) Manabe's so hilarious hahah. I'm glad gave this anime a chance cause I'm definitely watching the next episode! |
