First episode was better, this one felt rushed but I'll continue to watch and I'll also read the manga. I've heard that the scanlator has dropped the manga though, is that true? :( I hope it gets picked up again if thats the case.

Naru and Junon boy are friggin adorable. I love their voice actors as well.

First episode was better, but the fact that Naru exists and has that voice made me fully enjoy it regardless.

Awesome. Each episode have some good little message attached. In the first episode, it introduces us to an idealist guy. There's a message about climbing a wall of mediocrity & a good question whether doing things the way he does is any fun.
In this episode, it's about talent. The message here is that being able to work hard is the best talent of all. Don't do things half-assed

Nice episode but the first episode's better.

The voice actors of this anime are awesome, especially Naru being voiced by a child is more than fabulous (and she's doing such a great job!!).
The humor is exactly what I like, I was smiling and laughing nearly the whole time..
have to say that the art is great, but at times the animation doesn't flow very well... they're probably trying to save some money... it's alright though, I'm loving this show nevertheless :o)

They skipped the toad chapter..why? ;_;

Same sentiments here :(. Toad chapter was my favorite. I hope they will include it later.

Too much chapters were crammed and switched around, but it was still enjoyable.

I personally love the fast pace of the anime. I feel like it enhances the comedy for some scenes. The two school girls are ok. Nothing too special. Hopefully they'll get more character to their personalities later on.

I hadn't read the manga first, so I was pretty confused by the fujoshi-girl acting tense at the hospital when Hiroshi came in. I guesstimated that she could be a yaoi fan, but it could have been other things.

For example, maybe she liked Hiroshi, maybe she thought Hiroshi was gay, maybe she just doesn't like Hiroshi, two guys together squick her out, she really doesn't like purple-blue bags with white handles, she realized she forgot to do her homework, she needed to go to the bathroom, she dated Hiroshi but broke up with him so now things are awkward, she was possessed by a yokai, her glasses actually glow red and give off a black aura sometimes, she knows magic, and more.

I liked the part where Hiroshi found the room with the writings. Also pleasantly surprised to find out the voice actor for the little girl is apparently a little girl.

Heartbeat, that was such a nice scene, though it did feel a bit rushed indeed.

I thought it was a step down from episode 1...

It felt rushed, they crammed too many character introductions in at once and there wasn't enough meaningful buildup towards those 'heart warming' revelations...so it just felt flat.
The comedy was subpar and grew old fast. I can't say I like those two school girls either.

Maybe because I was so impressed by the start and had high expectations but this episode was a disappointment to me.

Really rushed based from what I read in the manga.

Kinema Citrus huh? No wonder lol (Based on Trails in the Sky's OVA lol). Hope the pace slows down by a lot. Please.

Still Naru (and Hina and her crying) are adorable.

This episode was funny. xD Really love the scene with the mosquito and Naru's slap! Handa's face was priceless! I bet I'd act the same if I suddenly got whacked like that without knowing what's going on. xD

Nasu! Nasuuu~ Love that scene as well. xD This is actually persuading me to read the manga!

A good episode, much less than the first but still managed to pass the climate that the plot promises. The animation has fallen a lot, which is normal, since every first episode gets better details. Naru always unpredictable, reminds me of Luffy.

Another great episode. As soon as I saw the synopsis I knew this would be at least good. Can't really go wrong with a description that starts with "As punishment for punching a famous calligrapher.."

Loved this episode as well, but the pacing seemed a bit off. I like those schoolgirls, and Hiroshi and his parents are pretty awesome. I was kinda expecting the old man to be the ghost lol

I'm glad I didn't read the manga yet since clearly people aren't enjoying the anime as much..

This was a cute episode and an interesting array of characters since they are all younger than Handa. Maybe he can learn something from them and vice versa. And I know what it's like trying to do your best, but having it never being enough. Mediocrity is too difficult for me to even accept or comes to terms with; as I'm sure they are having the same issue too.

His expression when Naru knocked over the ink and slapped him in the face was priceless.

This part literally made me laugh out loud. That was my favorite part out of this entire episode. She smacked the shit out of him xD

To be quite honest, I'm disappointed. A slow paced slice of life, more subtle, would be much better. Pace is too fast and the comedy isn't that great either. But is fine and I'm enjoying. 6/10
