Lol, cute OP song.

Eh, I guess it introduced the main characters in the way I thought they would. Not sure I like either the MC or Eiri. And right now, he gets quite a greeting:


Utaha best girl.

Geez this had more fanservice than some of the harem fanservice series I'm watching this season! I'm hoping this wasn't indicative of the main series as a whole. I mean fanservice is fine but...I was kinda expecting this to be a bit more serious honestly...

I know it's early to judge, but I don't get it. Is this a deconstruction of ecchi harems/dating simulators? Yet it still plays tropes straight? I have mixed feelings from this episode.

It's pretty funny and it seems fun as well.
I'll check out the full series once it starts airing.

I had high expectations for this show, I was expecting it to be a good romcom such as Sakurasou or Oregairu (or at least close to them), but the amount of fanservice and tropes on just the first episode kinda gets me down. I know its just the prequel Im not going to drop the series or anything its just the first impression that it gave to me.

Btw who is supposed to be the "main girl" in this series? I first thought that it was going to be the tsundere+childhood friend+ironing board chest since this combination seems to be unbeatable but now that Ive seen the full episode I really cant tell

I really don't like judging shows on the first episode alone but sometimes you just know an anime isn't for you.... and this definitely isn't for me.

Way too much fanservice for my liking (why doesn't this show have an ecchi tag?) and it's not funny at all (even though the primary genre is supposed to be comedy); it's just incredibly boring.

Wow that was a lot of fanservice. From some of the conversation in the first part, I'm hoping this was meant to be more of a self-aware jab at fanservice specials rather than an indicator of the upcoming series.

Well the first thing that stood out was that the subs where awful the could not even write the names properly.
Besides that lot's of fan service.

I didn't read the LN but i did complete one of the manga and i am reading another one and the only thing that annoyed me was the main who could not take simple hints.
Which was very obvious in this episode as well.
But that's not something unique amongst harem mains shamefully.
I wonder how the rest of the series will turn out.

I'm pretty sure Nachtwandler_21 is right, the fan service is so blatant and cliche that it was pretty obvious that it was a joke. I really liked the colors and something about this makes it really easy to watch compared to the other 2 harem animes that just aired this season.

This seems like it could be quite a... fun show, to say the very least. The idea of having a series about people trying to make a visual novel is certainly quite an interesting, and all things considered the high levels of fan-service in this prologue doesn't seem out of place at all, as is often the case with excessive levels of fan-service.

It should be very fun when the show properly begins next week.

While i have to say that there was too much ecchi for my liking, i also have to say that Kato is bestest girl of this show-episode so far.Hopefully they will step down with ecchi level in actual show, so i can somehow enjoy it - if not then i might drop it, who knows.

This was a nice start,the art was beautiful,and I enjoyed it.The only problem was the hands when they typed on the laptop that 3D effects was kinda ugly.

That was the pretty much the worse introduction to a series ever. I feel like I've been parachuted into the middle of it. I hope the actual series is a little more gentle in terms of pacing.

I have a feeling this is going to be the most interesting thing I'm going to be watching this season, aside from DRRR X2.

Other than specific shots where they have that awkward transition of color palette I can't identify a single fault in this prequel episode. The show has so far achieved in showing off each character in their own light, giving you a taste of how they will act during the series. The episode kept me giggling throughout the whole series and ultimately instilled hype in me for the series to finally take off.

Good job A-1, you finally make a good show since Sora no Woto.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

Actually, it's probably going to be more of a "expect what happens and watch how it happens" series. First, they put you in the middle of it. Then, they go to the beginning and pretty much get to how the first episode came to be. At the the end, Tomoya says that it's his story, which could mean that he's going to explain how they all met or something like that.

Seems like a good series imo. I don't really mind any fanservice. If it's censored, no unnatural light of rage is great. The concept seems nice. Harems are harems, but it's what the main plot is that makes a harem. Expecting a lot of harem moments, but betting more of them to Utaha.
