Decent first episode but I enjoy the manga more tbh

It’s amazing that nobody died from alcohol poisoning.

What's the point of creating this discussion so late well whatever as a big fan of the manga I was expecting something big but well it's not on the level of manga but it's still fun to watch especially I really like the OP and ED.

The anime just looks kinda cheap/ugly if you enjoy the show drop it now and read the manga it's better.

I was so excited for this show since I've heard good things from those that read the manga (just look at the score: 9.00 on mal and it's ranked 7th).
But I was so disappointed, not impressed at all. I was bored the majority of the time.

The manga is definitely better.

I don't like the first half. Fortunately, the second is a bit better. 2/5 for this episode.

i've been reading few chapter from the manga before, and the comedy already suit my taste, with little hint of romance( even in the comedic sense lo XD), and i think i really enjoyed and satisfied with the 1st episode, i'll be awaiting for another laughter in the future episode's

Same here, only at chapter 13 of the manga, but this has to be the best purely focused comedy manga I have ever seen.

'Painfully average' are the two words I would use to describe this first episode. As a fan of the manga, I have a lot of issues with this adaptation already. From the completely unfitting and Visual Novel-esque music to the lack of any sort of proper animation, to the mediocre voice acting. There are just so many things wrong with this anime already, and I don't see them getting better.

I LOVE the OP though, it is very fitting and I can even see the characters singing it while partying. Good on the studio for nailing that at least.

I couldn’t stop laughing while watching this episode. The best line was from Imamura when he said, “I used to be an otaku…” and Iori’s Mitsui impersonation in reference to Slam Dunk haha.

Someone told me that this was similar to Prison School but this is crazier than, yes, a concept of a prison school. The fan service on this one, especially with the girls, isn’t on the same level as PS. I love how Nanaka is a creep for lusting after her own imouto.

Imamura Kohei is best boy, best otaku and best character. I like how girls think he’s attractive when he’s just some lolicon otaku.

There is no water in that club. All hydrating beverages are banned.

I’m gonna enjoy this series a lot!

Quite enjoyable, made me think of my life as a Polish student. Well, I'm still studying, but I definitely related to some situations in the first episode.
Might start reading manga, as I see other people praising it as being better than the adaptation.

I LOVE the opening. :P

I'm not a fan of the OP, ED, over-focus on men, or the weak-willed MC who doesn't stand up for his principles or to those who push him around.

Tried it because I saw screenshots with boobs. Not worth wading through the shit to reach them. This anime earned my very first 3 because of how much the image in my head was shattered.

Dropped.

Holy shit look at the visuals on this one. It's stunning! Better than Violet Evergarden and I have premium Netlfix membership so I've seen that on highest resolution possible. I also like the comedy, the ridiculous faces they make is like Gintama's and the gar is like Jojo's. I have high expectations on this one

Hmm... not as good as I thought it would be. The premise is okay, the art and animation are alright for such a show. I think the characters are not to my taste so far. The protagonist is kind of an idiot and the female MC is quite boring so far. At least that wannabe-otaku is kind of funny, best dude so far.

that was hilarious! it fell flat a little but some scenes were so funny like his clothes (or lack of) situation & oolong cha lmfaoooo

the girls are cute! OP & ED are great the ED was so creative hahahhaa

also i love the drinking references like the whole vodka is transparent so vodka is water logic my friends & i always abide by that “logic” when we’re drinking too lololllllolol

great start!

oh & just saw that kouhei is voiced by kimura ryouhei lmfao that makes that bit even funnier when he was complaining where’s his harem of high school girls since he is also kodaka from haganai xD

Well i do drink thoses 96% one , they are easier to drink than vodka or other 50% alcool , i cant drink vodka , but 96% is easy to drink , its soft and feel nice , its warm , if you keep drinking it , its almost like water

If you cant , try to drink it under 0celcius , or with some ice , but avoid vodka alone , its disgusting
