I like the OP. I dislike painted-nails psycho girls, ughh. Hopefully she won't paint them again.

An OK start overall.

What? You are telling me I have to choose between a beautiful and totally insane girl or a kawaii tsundere with ear-piercing? God, you're making this hard...

More seriously though, is the source well known or what? Reddit thread had more than 1000 upvotes, which isn't that common, and even here it seem pretty popular. I feel like I'm out-of-the-loop.

Anyway, that show sure look fun. I look forward to it. Laughed my ass off during that episode.

Refreshing start. Main characters are really lovely! Both, the guy and the beautiful blue-eyed girl. Didn't feel too much sympathy for tsundere-chan though. Tatsuhisa's Tou character is hilarious, lmao.
Art is really something in this show... Wasn't expecting such quality. Anyway, it was really cool and fun overall. I definitely want to see more.

Quirky and fun first episode. Didn't have a lot of expectations going into this, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think this show could end up being really entertaining. Haven't had a decent comedy since Devil is a Part Timer, and I think this might fit the bill for me!

Funny funny stuff. I love the goofy dad character trope, and You-san is no exception. Also, the constricted pupils is really distinctive. I kinda like it, actually. It's a simple detail that makes the characters feel more unique visually.

I don't see why this show is hyped. I only read manga if the subject it revolves around interests me in particular but a story about cheap candy is unappealing probably because I don't eat cheap candy or any kind of candy for that matter. I hate umaibo, it shouldn't even have the word umai in it. It's pretty disgusting. I don't know how long this premise would keep me interested.

I liked Hotaru Shidare, she's cute, weird, sexy and really funny. She reminds me of Kodachi Kuno in Ranma 1/2 with her ostentatious outbursts.

I also liked Saya, she's a good girl. I hope this won't end up a love triangle or harem (or anything remotely related to harem) because I will drop this motherfucker fast.

Coconuts is an average male character who is reminiscent of a NEET. Nothing new, you can find his character design and personality in almost all genres, his character is a dime a dozen and nothing special at all. He will probably be the reason I will drop this in the future.

The only characters keeping me interested are Saya, Hotaru and Yo Shikada.

The OP was so low-budget and completely forgettable, I'll be skipping the OP from now on. The character designs are ordinary but honestly speaking, an ordinary/recycled character patterned/inspired from other series CAN be interesting if that character's personality is memorable and stands out. However, that's not the case with this series, unfortunately. The jokes fell flat and the only times I laughed were when Hotaru were in the screen.

Fuck this anime. I am so gonna drop this. It's not the MC that enters on the girl naked in bathroom, but a shitty side character. WTF? then just don't raise the obvious romance flag in the first episode and in the first meeting. I can already see tons of Ahego and NTR H-doujin being made in future.

I was kinda curious about this anime, and decided to give it a go. Well I'm not disappointed, this looks nice so far. I had a couple good laughs at some scenes.

The art & animations are good, and the OP is pretty catchy. Also I love Kokonotsu's father & his hilarious personality.

5/5, looking forward to the 2nd episode :)

I wasn't expecting to much of this anime when I saw the sinopse, but I'm really surprise. I laugh too much all fun times, I loved the girl spirit, I loved the father You-san... I really like it! Was a great first episode.

I was expecting it to be okay, but it's really funny. The zany hijinks are hilarious. My favorite parts were probably Saya's brother being smacked (Which is weird, I usually dislike tsunderes), and Hotaru being in love with the dude on the candy wrapper. Very fun and high energy.

What? You're dropping this because it presented a novelty instead of an overused cliche? Such a weird reason to drop a show.

Man i completely missed this knew i was missing something from friday's lineup,was quite the enjoyable watch,now i see how Shidare is pretty high on the Waifu-tier ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) joking aside didn't expect to be hearing Kirino out of her though.


+1 for the walking in Cliche used on a Supporting character lol.


something about the fish eyes man it still works oddly enough i can't stop staring at Shidare's swirly ones~!

Worry not, Coconuts has hidden strengths. He is sort of like Dagashi, unappealing at first because he is so plain, he grows on you over time. Because he is the straight man he remains a bit underwhelming, but he is the necessary tsukkomi for the series. He is what makes Hotaru so wonderful.

Only reading things that "interest" you is admitting you have neither curiosity or imagination. What makes the show (and Dagashi) interesting is exactly that dagashi are cheap and disgusting. It's like cotton candy, Twinkies, circus peanuts, moon pies, or a myriad of other disgusting western candies that children eat because it is all they can afford and as such provide nostalgic trip for adults. For me, botan ame (though I have never eaten it) reminds me of my first solo walk in Japan, visiting a small storefront near in rural Japan that never seemed to have customers (except for me buying a Kirin Lemon), but which made my walking home from work an exotic adventure. I can still visualize the packaging, and the probably one or two decade old expiration date (not that this mattered) on it. That is the charm of the show.

That 1st episode was okayish.
Hotaru is great and hot, and I really love that kind of character.
But animation seemed pretty cheap. And basic comedy.

I haven't been convinced yet to be honest. Waiting for episode 2.

I think the voice actors do an excellent job at portraying the characters, but it's expected with the experience they have, some of which are in the exact same character archtypes.

Shikada Kokonotsu - Abe Atsushi: Kamijo Touma (A Certain Magical Index) and Mashiro Moritaka (Bakuman)

Shidare Hotaru - Taketatsu Ayana: Shimizu Miharu (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu), Nakano Azusa (K-ON!), Takahara Ayumi (The World Only God Knows), Kousaka Kirino (Oreimo), Tsugumi (Guilty Crown), Itsuka Kotori (Date A Live), Kirigaya Suguha (Sword Art Online)

Shikada Yoh - Fujiwara Keiji: Nohara Hiroshi aka Shinnouske's Father(Crayon Shin-chan), Maes Hughes (Fullmetal Alchemist & Brotherhood), Tatsuya Kimura (Hajime no Ippo), and Rindo Takumi (World Trigger)

Endo Tou - Suzuki Tatsuhisa: Sakamoto Yuuji (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu), Tachibana Makoto (Free!), Sugata Eishiro (Heaven's Lost Property), and Takao Kazunari (Kuroko no Basuke)

Endo Saya - Numakura Manami: Nakamura Rio (Assassination Classroom), Todo Yurika (Aikatsu!), Kohata Arata (Black Rock Shooter), Narberal (Overlord)

Lots of over-the-top zaniness here, may be the sleeper hit of this season. OP & ED didn't impress, that's the only (-). If I had to compare to other over-the-top comedies... then... it would be Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, School Rumble, and Yakitate!! Japan as cited examples.

Well, I exepcted it to be more funny. First episode left some strange aftertaste. I liked character design but art was not pretty good. OP and ED was too simple.

Hotaru seems to be heavily brain damaged, but she`s not boring. Kokonotsu`s dad is crazy too. Other characters are so-so.

3 of 5 for the first episode.

So happy I finally get to watch this. I enjoyed the episode a lot. Very funny and fast paced. This is on my radar as best comedy of the season.

Can't tell if Hotaru or Saya is best grill.
