Well, I just downloaded the first episode. I'm going to go eat, then when I come back I'll watch it after episode 28 of Hayate no Gotoku.

Hm, not too sure what to think of this. It's not overly amazing, the art is really good though as you already mentioned, melancholy. Some jokes have a very special kind of humor to it though so I'll keep watching some more. Tama-chan is interesting. :D

Oh and if you're hungry, eat a bento! xD

Hrm. It was ok. The art is good. ;D

I agree with cyruz, Tama-chan is interesting.

I'll have to keep watching to see how this turns out before I judge it.

And I wish that I had a bento. >.<

It's alright, nothing to spectacular. Art is good though. Star has subbed it, they look to be the only group doing it (was what I watched, nothing to spectacular but its better then watching it without any subs).

Have to give it a couple more episodes before I judge it but for now Tama-chan is interesting enough to keep me watching it.

Tamaki is a bad-ass. I want to see her kick Toyama's ass.

When Miyako entered, I was like "wtf, how did Eiga get a babe like her?"

I'm definately going to continue watching.

Episode 1 was solid, but not awestriking. I'm interested to see more about Tama-chan's story too. OP and ED songs are alright; I have a feeling they are the type that will grow on me with time.

I really can't stand it when they throw in rather pathetic guys like this one in anime that have otherwise nice artwork regarding the female characters and everything else. Umisho is another example.

QFT, I almost fell out of my seat. This one I'm definitely going to follow, I loved the Team Captain the most, she reminds me of Momoko from Sumomomo Momomo, the Sensei is pretty funny too.

those two scenes made the first episode completely awesome...i was laughing so hard...the bento comment came out of nowhere, xD...so far, i'm really liking it...the comedy is really random and come in short outbursts and the characters are pretty awesome as well...i'm definitely keeping up with this one...

I thought it was extremely slow. I can understand they want to build up the characters but damn at least toss in something remotely interesting. I only laughed twice wile watching this ep and then right when we actually get some action...it ends. Other then that I like the graphics and will continue to watch this but I do hope they add more action in the future eps :).

Hmm, I'm kinda surprised that you guys liked it so much. There were a few funny scenes -like the one with the balls-, but nothing else to carry me away. Also, Tama-chan looks pretty lame to me.

So far t seems good. I have only watch the 1st ep. ( but I do have a lot on my plate). It kinda of reminds me of GTO. Not the art work but the way the teacher is almost kid like himself until it is something that he wants. Well I look forward to the rest.

I liked it a bunch.

I'm guessing they'll be a slower build up in the beginning as they find and assemble the girls' kendo team, but I was entertained for the whole episode. I couldn't believe they ended it right there -- I really wanted to see Tama-chan in action! In a sort of abstract way, I feel like this will maybe, kinda fill the hole left by the end of Kenichi. =) (They're not really similar plot/structure wise... but you know, vibe or something.)

Definetly watching this one to the end, good stuff.

I think, though I could be wrong, this is a comedy, but not the laugh-a-minute, slap-stick, bad/obscure refrences every second type comedy. It seems its gonna have some well developed characters and maybe a good plot and some good action.

I could be wrong of course, I just get the impression a lot of you think this is supposed to be like Seto No Hanayome/Pani Poni Dash etc.

Good Comedy

I already downloaded this show in 2008
But just started it yesterday.

there were some pretty good scenes
the flying vice principal was awesome.
the whole scene with the small guy and his girlfriend and the reaction of his friend and the Kendo teacher were hilarousXD
