| Looks like I'm going to enjoy watching this. I don't know this story so I'm really looking forward to finding out more. |
| This is Really Interesting. |
 |
| What in the hell kind of promise is that? O_O LOL @ the marriage photo. Nice opening & ending. |
| I have high expectations for this anime, now that I watched the last episode I think it will be great! |
 |
| I didn't expect to like this as much as I did, but this was full of fun. Definitely going to watch this through to the end. Yay for Fall 2010! |
| This certainly looks promising! I mean I thought the first episode was excellent. |
| Poop art/animation. Disappointed. B-chan911 said: Yep I really liked it as well.LOL at the Death Note reference and the Hikaru no Go manga in the bookstore. XD IZUMI64 said: wheresthehandle said: Hikaru no Go? Wonder if anyone else knows what that is. FYI,,Hikaru no Go is manga about Igo -kinda old japanese chess- and also manga from Author of Bakuman You are wrong about Hikaru no Go being about japanese chess - which is called Shogi. Hikaru no GoIs one of the best manga/anime. With very good story and great character development. And yes, Obata Takeshi did the art for them all - Hikaru no Go, Death Note, Bakuman Ohba Tsugumi wrote the story for Bakuman and Death Note. Hikaru no Go - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. \(..)/ |

| “After nine years of compulsory education, the adults ask incessantly, “What high school do you want to go to?” and, “What dreams do you have for the future?” But I, Moritaka Mashiro, just answer with “I have no clue.” or “I haven’t decided yet.” It’s “normal” to aim for a better high school university, or company. That’s how you live a “normal” life. That’s why I always go to school, even though I’d rather game or stare at the computer all day. Because I don’t want to trouble my parents, because I don’t want to be called a shut-in, and because I don’t want to flip burgers when I grow up. That’s why I’m just gonna get a desk job and call it a day. If I wanted to try climbing the corporate ladder, I’m already behind all the people with good grades. That ranking system is only going to be a continuation of school. It’s a bleak future. Just living is a pain in the butt. This is my outlook on life after being a good kid for 14 years.” FUUUUU Y U MIRROR MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY, MASHIRO? |

| Good Start! |

| Oh yes! This is good. |

| This might be the best anime of the season, I love it :D |
 |
| Out of all the anime so far I have seen this season, this one is by far my favorite. I loved loved loved it to death. Very cute & not perverted...I like ecchi but it seems everything is ecchi now. I am getting burnt out on it. >_____< Anime I have seen this season that isn't as good as Bakuman: |
| For me the first episode was just good - nothing out of the ordinary. I hope it gets better. |
| This is just really weird seeing this animated. I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to it. |
 |
| Nice first ep! They've stuck to the manga nicely! I've been waiting for this one forever, this is by far my favorite manga!!! As others have said the animation isn't exactly superb, but still very true to the source!! Especially Miho, she's just as hawt as in the manga, I can't to see her mom!! All the voice were pretty good, Takagi's could've been a better choice, but I still like it. Miho is perfect!! And, her mom too. Morita's is exactly as I imagined. Can't wait for Hattori, Eiji, etc. etc. For those of you who haven't read the manga, it's full of awesome characters you'll be meeting soon!! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| This was a neat episode think i will stick with this |
| this is my most anticipated series this fall... nice ep! loved the beginning of the show, i thought that song would be the op, and got shocked (but relieved afterwards) i don't read the manga, but from what i've heard the show followed it really closely.. with JC Staff animating, this shounen manga suddenly had a shoujo feel for some reason .. hopefully it won't be that way for the rest of the series, as i'm expecting a not-so-shoujo show.. the slice-of-life parts are perfectly fine still... and i like takagi's character.. :D can't wait for the next ep, and then the next! |
 |
| "Its not a death note, is it?" XD Best part!! ahahaha. I just found out that the DN ppl make this too..=) |
| 💕 |
| I'm vaguely interested. I don't like the art at all, but the plot may have something in it. Also, only six minutes in and we already get a Death Note reference? Really, guys? Classy. |
 |
| Very promising first episode, 5 of 5... |
| The characters are pretty cool (especially the Light looking guy XD ... nice Death Note, One Piece, Hikaru no Go, DBZ references lol), except that girl is kinda weird. If I could draw half as well as that guy I'd be come a mangaka for sure :P Music is good, LOVED the ED! Of course the art is ;D Starting out strong, looks like an entertaining anime this season :D |
| This Episode was alot of fun !! , the marriage part really made my day lol .. && I loved the opening so much :D , Hope the other episodes would be better & better Looking forward to the next episode <3 <3 |
 |
Iilia said: but I thought Naruto was more popular than One Piece. in america yes, in Japan OP is the best selling manga for quite some years.. anyway fucking awesome episode :D this would be fun |
| Really nice and funny episode, it really keeps the atmosphere from the manga. |
IchigoHollowfi said: "Its not a death note, is it?" XD Best part!! ahahaha. I just found out that the DN ppl make this too..=) there was also a reference to their manga Hikaru no Go ;) |
| Great, like the manga, it promises a lot of greatness. |
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.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The Blonde guy either reminds me of Shizuo or Light by appearance The Blue guy either reminds of Souma [Working!!] or the guy from Toradora[ Forgot his name] Either way, great start for the anime. Pretty much lawled most of the time. Hope they can keep it good. |
| LOL!!! It's hilarious!! :))))) The twist in the situations really had me laughing continuously... Totally loved the "Grave of the Fireflies" effect they added with this image:  Oh gosh, I'm glad this is good. :) Yeah, I really wish the producers would've notched the animation up. It would've been so better. |

| Eheheh, Takagi amuses me xD He's so hyper. I already like him. "Yeah. What the hell did I just say?" And marrying the doorbell, funny xD Seems like a fun watch, I hope it delivers. |

| I like the story, it's interesting to see an anime about becoming a mangaka ^^ I really hope they're gonna succeed, that would be cool :) The chars are nice, don't irritate me at all (well the "almost blackmail part wasn't really my taste but he turns out to be a good, nice, dreamfull guy :P) except the girl, she's a bit too quit but well it's only the first episode xD I don't like the art style and the character design wich is a problem since I care about that a lot. It's too bad cauz otherwise I would lóve this anime. Hope that after a few episodes I'm a bit more used to it cauz it is nice, refreshing, light and funny (in a random but good way) :P I think I'll give it a 8/10 even though I don't like the art that much... |
| This is promising |
 |
| "dont make such a serious face? this isnt the death note" best line of the episode it made me lol. for the first few min of this anime i was thinking that i wasnt going to like this but once Akito was introduced i immediately began to enjoy it more and it only got better from there lol. |
| But why was their blood blue? |
| Wow, I'm really surprised that the animation isn't that good. I mean, it's an anime about drawing manga, so I was sort of expecting it to have wonderful art, but umm it really doesn't! D: Makes me sad :( I hope they work on that. But still, it was nice to see everyone all movin n talkin n stuff :'D |
| ;D |
| I don't really like the animation, it's kinda weird and... Akito looks like Light x'DDD. But... the story seems good, so.. can't wait for the subs of the episode 2 .-.! |
| The art really reminds me of Durarara. Surprisingly an interesting show, hope it turns out well |
| The doorbell scene really cracked me up. Ah, middle schoolers. XD This looks like a fun series--I hope to see some cool plot twists in the future? If it is the Death Note writer behind this series, there has to be some--right? >=} |
| Akito is headed in the direction of my favourite character list. I was wondering about the copyright laws surrounding the reference to death notes, but then I remembered that it's the same creators. A bit of a special moment right there. It is definitely a good and interesting thing that this series is directly centered around manga, rather than the usual reference to manga. It will also be good to learn maybe a little more about the process involved in becoming a popular manga creator. Will definitely be one of the highlights of the week. |

PerfectHorror said: I was wondering about the copyright laws surrounding the reference to death notes, but then I remembered that it's the same creators. A bit of a special moment right there. You mean it wasn't completely obvious from the art style? Akito looks like a middle-school Light for god's sake. |

| I'm sorry for being unobservant. D: |

QFT Style kinda reminded me of Hatsukoi Limited and Toradora Was good episode though, nice banter between the two guys. |
| Wow, that was really good. |
| I thought i was watching the wrong anime at the start LOL. 5/5 . |
 |
| The manga was still pending for a year now. Now I got interested and will start reading this.. Intro was great!! not the 1st one haha (I thought I downloaded the wrong link) Since I like Arts&Craft I will enjoy this.. Uncle's purpose in life lol - don't tell this to anyone Takagi's confession LOL - Mashiro was like: so this was his confession Takagi's cleverness! to make Mashiro agree with his request Episode 1: 9/10 |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Not a fan of the animation... but that's my only complaint. The story is interesting & I love the pacing. This is a win so far..... :D |
  |
| The animation looks more generic than I was expecting and Takagi looked a little weird too lol But I guess I can get used to it. I really like the manga so I'll definitely continue watching this. |
