If this was just the "introductory" episode, according to the Japanese who went to the pre-airing event, then episode 2 (which was described as being at the K-ON! level of enjoyment) will be even better.

Can't wait for next week then xD

First of all! let me say this!
I haven't had this laugh in previous 3 seasons!
It was really great!I got hungry just from laughing!
when i watched the five minute episode i was really sure this will be great!
it didn't disappoint me in any way!
I still think they are morons who scored this a 1!
First episode 10/10
of course it will drop!
i really liked it!

Can't say I enjoy this episode too much. Still learning/getting used to the characters.


EDIT: My current impression...

I'm ganna be heartbroken if this show sale more than Hyouka.


Indeed. Her eccentricities might have been meant to be charming, but it's just plain... disturbing. Can totally imagine her shame when she snapped out of the illness. If she ever does.

=/ and I would be astounded too. Hyouka is better IMO.


I think there isn't anything wrong with the anime but the problem is with your head!You decided to hate this anime even before the start!
You are not suited for this genre! hyouka and this is a completely different!
You are a moron for comparing these two! and her character is the main attraction of this comedy anime!i think your comments are more annoying!

nah, this is a matter of opinion. I could say that there's something wrong with your head as well, but we both don't have concrete proof.

And, newsflash! =D I. don't. hate. this. anime. I have yet to hate an anime. =_=
and what exactly is the genre that I'm not suited for?

I know it's different. Pizzas and durians are different, but I can still say that I like durians more right? -_- LOL.

And I know that her character is meant to be bonkers to be comedic. That much is obvious.

As I mentioned before, opinions. These are all opinions. Can't say I can't understand you as I've found comments expressing their distaste for things I like annoying before as well.

Have a pleasant day. ^_^

Typing as I go

No actually I haven't heard of 8th grader syndrome, please give me some introductory exposition. Girls frikin descending down on your balcony... normal day in Japan. Obviously thats what she wants to know first is if he saw her underwear and not why the hell shes climbing down the side of a building >_>
That op..... idk what to say, boobs and kawaii things, maybe I'm just seriously not in the mood for this kind of thing.

Everything in this anime is fiction... no shit because blue haired girls with eypatches climb down your building everyday.
The fated meeting of ultimate moe. Is the main character completely retarded...?(referring to the girl "opening" the train door).... Why would she lick the eye drops D: Nothing shes saying is making any sense T_T my braiiiiin.

Don't know if I can even finish this first ep...

WAIT, they're going to show her eye o_O... durramatique! or not >_>
C'mon 9 more minutes left.... I can do this
No shit she lives on the floor above... like he completely forgot the scene where she was climbing down >_>
Judgement Lucifer... yeah I was just waiting for something this frikin extremely stupid so I could atleast say I gave it a shot. Maybe I overreacted a little, but this was extremely painful to watch. Dropped

Don't know how people translated this. But the thing is that she wasn't talking about panties, she was talking about being seen in the affirmative, probably about her "escape", it was he who thought about the panties, then she uses "Mitemiru" that's something like "You're seeing this in a dream" and vanishes.

First of all... nothing is wrong with our head, your's however, may need some adjustments.

1. Did we, in any way shows that we decided to hate the show before it start?
FYI, This is my most anticipated show. In the past several years, I've only ever missed out on 1 KyoAni release, which is Nichijo.

2. I'm not suited for this genre? Go look through my anime list!

3. Yes we are comparing, but we're comparing "our preference" of "KyoAni product". Saying that we compare Hyouka to Chuuni is very unfair, because we did not say anything like
"Omg, Rikka is not as cute as Chitanda, I hate Rikka"
or
"Hyouka is so much funnier, Chuuni is bad"
THAT WOULD BE COMPARING!
What we did however, is not. Learn the difference.

4. You find those comments annoying? Well, you shouldn't in the first place, because none of us did the thing you were accusing us of. It's your misinterpretation and assumptions that is giving you grieves.

And guess what, you barging in screaming at us with your false accusation however, do annoy us. Because we're aren't guilty of the things you claim we did. Fuck... I hate people who just scream murder at the smallest things... Especially those that don't even understand what's going on.

Holy fuck, i never thought the anime would be this...overwhelmingly moe.....i can't help but grin and guffaw in perverse joy....fuck....and contrary to popular belief, i liked the op, and the ED was a blast....

I have a feeling this is going to turn into a harem, but i hope this will still deliver, even if it does....

WHile I have to agree that the op, under the right circumstances, could cause a headache, I still like it.

As for this episode... liked it too. The goofy antics of Rikka are just too cute. Also, I'm a sucker for moe, so the whole cast is right up my alley.
I wonder if Oreki 2.0 has some kind of energy draining attack :)

As for the haters, especially those who never gave this anime a chance and hated on it before it even aired and ARE STILL WATCHING IT, out of some perverse enjoyment from self-inflicted pain... I'll just pretend they don't exist
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

I enjoyed this way more than any ep of K-on and the movie combined.
Unless K-On level of enjoyment means more ultra moe scenes.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It takes so little to miss out how much rich this anime is going to be. It’s not about the fan service of the ass shaking in the beginning nor about anything of MOE despite it being there. It’s simple the spoiler
along with my research into:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebephrenia
A rather deep disturbing illness that there is no cure and often people end up in hospital or cannot function well at all. This series essentially to me could be a gem to discover of how 2 people both being sick of that same illness come to term with others in a school environment both having problems to deal due to their illnesses in the past. Yuuta denying his to circumvent the problem while Rikka herself is just letting it loose as you can see from her wild MOE factors. It shows rather well from just the person in the spoiler
of how normally a person can be freaked out by this behaviour and you want to avoid this person nor deal with them except with the MOE anyone would want to deal with Rikka.

Sadly the reality is much harder and this series will most likely be far more lighter on many elements, which will prove enjoyable while seeing 2 people suffer of this disease and maybe there shall be other ones later that may have it. Only to amount to them falling falling in love while supporting their own illness is to look forward too as the power of love will be shown most likely. I for one really need to know how this develops along with how will Yuuta and Rikka fall in love. Clearly Rikka already basically by falling on Yuuta kind gave away she has a thing for him among the other ones around. Well she blushed in the spoiler
and even looked a little sexy there. Notice the lips. Well yeah a sign there. Girl is wild in personality.

So in short from the OP I HAREM SWIPE! Sanae in the following,

Cause from that part she reminded me of her:
http://myanimelist.net/character/40320/Mari
Which I did not see in a long time and yes they do have features of similar value. In fact Sanae » Rikka » any other girls I like.

Second when I saw Rikka in the following,

I decided to #2 HAREM BAG HER! She was too irresistible being like that. It was like an invite. Sadly IRL girls with Disorganized schizophrenia tend to be a pain in the ass to deal less you have dedication to them in love or as a long time friend or relative. Still Yuuta is shit to hit her like that but I know it to be comedic still she looks terrible being in pain from it.

I find the fan service actually hilarious in this series and not sexual at all. Like the ass part in the spoiler
I do find hard to resist Rikka but I am not enticed as other series that I usually am. Only enticing is when Rikka sits in certain ways that shows her sides a little like in the spoiler
but that’s due to her petite shape and size. I WOULD PROTECT HER KING SIZE! Might edit this later too tired.

I thought this was pretty cute the main character reminded me of Yui from K-on!! and the reactions of the male lead are just funny.
The characters all appeared to have a bright personality and they where all very kind i wonder if that will change somehow i am looking forward to seeing them change.
The male lead maturing is also funny to watch especially him being ashamed of his past then again i have to say we all did things in the past where we think why did i do that.
At some point you just stop caring about it.
The family of the male lead looked like a nice family tho i wonder what the sister of the female lead is like.
I don't think she would have been to happy with the way her little sister descended from that balcony by rope.
There teacher also appears to be a nice person who seems to care for her students tho it's also the first day for her so she didn't have any time to bond with her students yet.

Also a simple question 8 grade is second or third year junior high school?
It was translated to the American system so it's a bit confusing.

Surely looks more interesting than Hyouka. The ending, and especially the animation(effects) reminded me of K-ON's "NO,Thank You". This is clearly a recent KyoAni show.
The pacing is really good in this one so far, that was something that bothers me over the last seasons often. Looking forward to more! Just 13 episodes doesn't seem sufficient so far.

I also like that with my interest in Japanese railways I can determine where this anime should be taking place, in this case it's around the Keihan Electric Railway's Ishiyama Sakamoto Line in the Shiga prefecture. That's the train Yuuta, Rikka and Shinka took to school in this episode.

I certainly enjoyed the series but Im somewhat disappointed. Not from KyoAni's work but from the material itself. I thought there will be a lot more seriousness in it. Oh well, still an enjoyable series. The characters are too........cute! Can't wait for the next episode!

Yes, finally! It was such a delight when I got back from school dead-tired and saw this was out already... I expected a lot from this show and I'm not disappointed. An authentically funny and light-hearted school comedy with cute female lead and Jun Fukuyama. That's what I need in my life. Graphics are great, as expected from KyoAni, though not as much as Hyouka's. Good music, catchy OP and ED, I really liked them. I hope the show will stay as it is now, without any drama and the likes. To the next episode!
