----------------------------------------
Ahhh!! It was soo nice! Everyone was soo beautiful and perfect ;w;

I've been reading this manga since 2009 so Im just soo happy!

I love it when they add more/new details to the anime that arnt shown yet in the manga. I dont believe we have ever seen Mei's dad in the manga..

The stalker Mei had was soo creepy >.<

Overall, Im so happy this is now a anime and I cant wait to see the future episodes! ;__;

don't judge it just yet, bud. it may look like it, but there's a reason why its one of the best selling shoujos this year in Japan. Give it some more time.

Pretty much this.

This manga is one of the better shoujo series I've been reading so far.

Just saw the raw. I thought it would be out later like Horizon (and had to watch the next morning). It's like how manga went so far, and I like it.

Thought so, Kobayashi-san voices Mei's mother!! Did anime add that family like scene when Mei got kissed?? ED was nice. + cute preview!!

I love the animation. And the music. And the art, of course. Everyone's so beautiful, hnnnnn~~~

THAT ANGRY LOOK YAMATO GIVES THE STALKER. SLDF:LSKDF: HNNN YAMATOOOO~~

Anyways, I'm so happy it's not some sloppy/crap animation, because this is one of my favourite shoujo manga. PLEASE do not screw it up like Fruits Basket. One of the most beautiful mangas ever, and the anime was horrible. The plotline was messed up. The only thing that was good was the music.

I hope they'll follow the manga. This episode was chapter one of the manga, so it looks good so far. Hopefully, if it sells really well, it'll get a second season. (Lol, it's barely even started yet and I'm thinking so far ahead)

This went beyond my expectation. I thought the art and graphics wouldn't be that great but it's clear and not poorly done. Even the VAs were suitable too, I love Kayano Ai as Mei!
I just hope it doesn't stray away from the manga storyline (though, it might near the end).

It didn't feel very shoujo- or SINY-like, but it was still good... And it unexpectedly turns out I was too worried about the voices. |D I really want to see what the rest looks like in the form of an anime~

I was looking forward to finally see the Anime Version of Sukitte Iinayo, since i really like the Manga, and the best is it's like how manga went so far i was worried that the Anime Version would be terrible but after i watched the first Episode i was like "Everything seems fine." so i'll give it a try, since i like the Manga.

So when is it airing? Will we only get to see it on the 7th (if you live in America)? That sucks, I was looking forward to seeing SAO, Little Busters and Sukiette on the same day :c

Oh well, looking from this I see the first episode was good. I've read the whole manga and seeing that the shoujo-genre is finally getting some recognition is awesome. So excited :D

I actually liked it better than the manga version. Perhaps its because of the amazing voice acting of Sakurai Takahiro XD

The execution is MUCH MUCH better than I thought it would be.
I remember that I read at least the chapter 1 a long time ago and I felt that it was typical. But here, I don't feel it at all, in fact, I find it pretty realistic and believable.

The preview is.... weird...

And Sakurai Takahiro = LOVE

Am I the only one who thought that the stalker was kind of good looking too? XD

OH MY GOD WHY CAN'T THAT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. Yamato is like a Usui/Kazehaya blend with a hell of an awesome voice. Gotta love it. His hair is a little bit... extravagant, though. Mei also has a great voice that suits her character. The art is beautiful and refreshing!

Them going up to the stalker and kissing was hilariously awkward. Wow, all of the shoujo anime this season had kiss scenes right off the bat. How often do we see that? This can't be a coincidence.

Alright I just watched the subbed version of the pilot episode are here are my thoughts:


  • Nice artwork so far. Simple, realistic, and to the point without any flashy scenery.
  • Drama in first 5 minutes already, damn it those..bad attitude girls
  • Loved the interactions between the two main characters - it was cute and dramatic in my point of view
  • Dat kiss, ha!
  • Yamato being a boss at the end there
  • Nice ED

    5/5

I liked it. I thought that it started off good and that look when they kissed in the end in front of that stalker was kinda funny. I can only imagine Mei getting angry in the beginning of the next episode after the shock wares off. LOL

It was pretty good. Reminded me a lot of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, which I also just recently watched. I look forward to both series, and I hope both of them are great shoujo animes.

So a kiss to begin all Shoujos this season XD, that said it was a nice opener and it was really faithful to the manga, i actually liked this better than the manga, perhaps due to the animation.

That must be the new thing now. A few years ago it was stuff like the super-rich half-Japanese guy with family issues.

That was good.I really love atmosphere of this series, it's so...so...nice.I love main girl as well, shes beautiful, cute, and better than 100% of other girls in this school which suck and should go to hell.I mean kicking was maybe alittle too much, but they were mean for her even before so who cares.Main guy seems to be a good character too.He can see differences between all girls.Ignores all the plastic shit, and notices special ones.
Art had some nice quality too.You can see weaker moments here and there too, but there arent many of them.So in overall it's ok.

4/5 and first impression 7/10.I wonder which anime will win for ME.This, or Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun ^^ i liked the latter one alittle bit more, but everything can chage.

Wow, this was surprisingly good. I usually dislike shoujo, but I really liked this, it left me a great impression. The two main characters are really likeable and I fell in love with Tachibana right away. Waaaay better than Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun imo.

Just watched it and it sort of had the Kimi ni Todoke vibe to it. Not exactly that way, but definitely the same feel.

I really think it has enough differences to make it interesting though.

WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

Reminded me of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, how it jumps into the confession and even the first kiss, both out of no where, in the FIRST EPISODE. I think this series had even LESS character development and interaction than Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun XD It'll be interesting to see where this goes lol I can already see this girl getting tons of flak from all the other girls of the school.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Well, that was a nice first episode. The art's nice, but they deviated from the manga artwork for a while. I ain't complaining, it was nice and funny (See: Yamato's face when Mei hands him a bunch of band-aids after he said one was not enough).
And the part when Yamato kissed Mei... I don't know why, but I laughed kinda uncontrollably during that part.
Stalker fighting lesson from Kurosawa Yamato: Kiss the victim in front of said perpetrator. Results guaranteed.
Other than that, it was awesome!
