This was a very fine episode. One of my favorite first episode of the season so far.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Wow, I actually really really really enjoyed that. I laughed so hard; it was ridiculous and hilarious. I've been having way too many school slice of lifes lately, so this was a refreshing change. Hasebe is too funny, and I think him and Lucy [abbreviated hehe] a cute couple. :)

Can't wait to watch more! From what I've watched so far, I think this was one of the best first episodes of the season.

I actually really liked it. It's humor is decent, and it's a slice-of-life that isn't set in a school...so it's a bit different. The first episode kept my attention so hopefully the series will continue like that.

Average first episode. I still have high hopes for it, it could be uphill from here. Working!! got better as it went on, so could this. The characters definitely have potential. I hope they do some more episodic stories instead of 4koma gag after gag.

Great OP and ED sequences. The OP is probably one of the best I've seen in quite a while. The comedy is quality without being too slow or relying too much on fanservice. And there are some truths in the show if you've ever worked a customer service job of any type. Overall, I am definitely excited to see more of this show after this episode. I had high hopes going in and it did not disappoint.

I really looked forward to this series because an SoL anime involving working adults is something i don't really see often.

Going into this series, they got very interesting characters, the humor it gives is close to Working! Though i wanted more, i'm already satisfied with this first ep.

Good start, looking this through to the end.

Hahaha, I see Yamagami's full name in the character listing and I'm already chuckling. Great start to the series! Lucy is an immediately likable character and so was Hasabe at the end. Their performances are a joy to watch.

The OP is gorgeous and so memorable. It caught me off-guard at how vibrant it was for an office drama. And that applies to my general feelings towards this ep. The ED is also lovely. I'm really excited to watch more of this.

Well, an anime about adults in an office environment? I didn't have much hope, but this episode makes me think this show is actually going to be funny, endearing and relatable. I'm definitely giving this show a shot. Lucy is a pretty good lead, and Hasabe really drives the comedy in this show.

Ugh, slow pacing and even though it's the first episode the author is ALREADY reusing gags, just like throughout Working!. I was hoping the author's writing would've improved but it looks like we're just going to be beating dead horses like usual.

I think I'm just spoiled from seeing a bunch of much better written office sitcoms, and I can't help but compare this anime to those because of the similar setting. I was hoping that ServantxService could've done some jokes only possible in anime but instead it's just a bunch of triteness.

I had no interest in this til I saw the opening song somewhere and loved how hyper and Working!-ish it seemed. Then I found out that it's by the same author. No wonder it's so similar. I'm definitely going to enjoy this series!

I thought my name was bad since no one can ever pronounce my middle and last name (I'm Vietnamese) but it's nothing compared to Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho Ayano Tomika Chitose Sanae Mikoko Ichika and whatever else is part of her name.

when she said " That's it Chihaya!" reminded me of Chihayafuru seeing as how Lucy is voiced by the same girl voicing Ooe and has huge tits.


It reminded me a lot of Chihayafuru too! Also how one of Lucy's names is Chitose, which is Chihaya's sister's name in Chihayafuru.

Well you can tell the rest of the series won't be exciting, but the comedy is really good. The mix of personalities is also really good, so this series isn't that bad.
It's such a relaxing and enjoyable series, not anything deep. So in that sense, it's an average series.

My favorite scene was when the client mentioned slacking and Lucy, suddenly "I know, right!!??"

So marriage, divorce, and birth registration.. which one is the most common?
I think it's marriage? Without it there won't be those two :)

Eh, very disappointed given it's by a mangaka who has shown they have talent. This is a newer work and yet it feels very amateurish and like their first work rather than something that came after such a fairly high quality manga as Working!! was in terms of writing.

It's not terrible, but right now it's just very very very lacking and seems to be trying way too hard to be funny - while doing it in all the wrong ways and attempting it's humor almost entirely through the most overused and unoriginal ways. The worst part is, that all mixes with the very unoriginal bland cast and turns the entire series into feeling so lackluster and uninspired.

It's the exact opposite I'd expect from the creator of Working!!, and it's kind of just "meh" overall even if you put it's mangaka aside.

I'll keep watching it, it's not "bad" but it's pretty much perfectly on the line of mediocrity, but I definitely lost my excitement for the show already, just hope it gets some charm at some point.

This is gonna be a tough one for me to get through. A boring setting makes for a boring anime. Definitely not for everyone but that being said, it has its moments. Hasebe already makes it better than Working!! for me, tbh. Oh and Yamagami really reminds me of some of the characters in Working!! combined... like she has the personality of Souta, rages in the same way as Inami... and even has Popura's boobs! Lol.

Interesting Comedy/Slice of Life, I love Yamagami's personality, all the main characters are pretty cool. Nothing too exciting but something that I'm sure I'll enjoy. This will help me pick up some office/work Japanese vocab as well besides the obvious ones.

Nice start with an OP song which easily can come off as Working'''
I like style they kept from the same author as well
Some familiar scenes at the civil servant office that happens anywhere around the globe

Thank god I wasn't the only one that thought that. Even giving this a ONE is too high for me. Has to be the worst series this season and I thought Brothers Conflict was going to be that, at least that one had a story unlike this.

Something tells me that the civil worker who let Lucy's name pass is a relative of Hasebe. He did say he's a 3rd generation civil worker and it would create a plot point. Not to mention that it would just make sense somehow.
