The cutèness in this series so far is overloaded.
The dance scene is my favorite, especially with the Piano piece played in the background.. Simply perfect ..

The chemistry between Bocchan and Alice can be pretty electric at times - that dance scene was sweet and so intimate. I like that they can be lighthearted with each other but also very romantic too.

I really like Bocchan's sister! I was expecting Viola to be an arrogant spoilt brat but was pleasantly surprised that she's actually a cheerful, kind girl who enjoys going to see her brother (although an ulterior motive was revealed haha).

A Chad butler with a twist, A teasing Maid, A sister who's into old men and a Cultured Cat. this anime is packed but it also makes me wonder... what's the brother like?

Fantastic episode

The introductions of 2 new characters; Rob in part A and Viola in part B was done perfectly. Of course, Ootsuka and Inorin do tremendous job voice them as well. The cat scene was full of laughs, but also ends on a bittersweet scene where the group of cats function as a symmetry of Bocchan's current state.

And then the dance ending was beautiful. They tease earlier in the episode that Bocchan wrote a ballad song for Alice and then they play that song while they dance together and then the end credits roll. The execution was perfect.

Great story, but even greater directing by this team. This show is definitely one of the must watches this season.

I liked this episode and we finally got to meet Rob and the Duke's sister, which I didn't know existed as I haven't read the manga. I think these kind of introductory episodes, although they can be a little slow sometimes, are needed to get in context and understand future scenes and episodes.


Apparently, there seem to be a couple more characters that have not been introduced yet. I hope they show up in the 3rd episode so the action can begin already!

taking into consideration that both of them have low experience in dancing, if this wasn't an anime, they would have fallen on top of each other like 10 times in that scene hahaha

I liked episode 1 a hell lot more than episode 2.

There was some nifty humor on Rob's comedic routines about being the magnificent butler despite his old age, I dig that in these archtype support characters like sebas the mute butler from Anime-Gataris. But other jokes like him being short sightened and mistaking his own master for a cat and a like felt quite dull.

My main problem was Viola, she's a mishmash of characters in one bottle. I like the idea that she's part of the opposing crew of Bocchan, just like her mother and Philiph. But her becoming a cudly bunny whenever Rob is in scene is just pretty cheap mood swing. If there was at least some indication of what she likes about Rob it would at least makes some sense with such opposite personalities.

Definitely the strong suit of this show is both Alice & Bocchan's flirting moments.

This anime is truly unusual, adorable and yet sad. I’m having mixed feelings with nostalgia hints about the style( for some reason I’m getting strong Student council president is a maid vibes).

I love the story. I’ve read the manga already but the plot is very interesting(although I found it hard to follow at times). It’s sad well I think we all know the reason why, if not you’ll realize it soon enough. I’m actually surprised how expressive the characters are.

I love the classy piano music. I think it sets the tone and the mood and overall general setting very well.

It made me happy to see Viola genuinely worry about her brother and that she visits Bocchan secretly without telling her mother...even tho she seems to have a very questionable motive too. It was surprising to know that she's actually into ojisan men...

It's strange how they don't even accidentally touch each other when Alice gets so close to Bocchan...at this point all I can think of is that Alice has infinity just like Gojo Satoru XD

And their dance was actually beautiful.

All this time Alice's seduction personality was bothering me (and it still does) but after this episode, I think they actually look good together. I hope they break the curse soon so that Bocchan can finally wear Alice a ring with his own hands.

At first I thought Rob's mouth wasn't moving when he was talking.

I really don't like CGI, the characters' movements just don't feel right, kind of like everything is in slow motion, feels very unnatural. Shows like these really make me appreciate 2D animation. I guess I'll drop this.

Kinda mediocre episode after a pretty decent start. Teasing continues to be extremely uninteresting and though it's nice Bocchan's younger sister still cares about him, I found Viola's bratty personality really annoying.

Useless fact: "Viola" is the Portuguese name of an instrument that is a smaller guitar. In Brazil these instruments are played by the "Duplas Sertanejas", mostly in the state of Goiás, my homeland.

And now I lose all the concentration in the anime Everytime I hear Viola's name


In English speaking countries, a viola is an instrument similar to a violin, as well as being another name for the flowers known as "violets."

I guess we all have the same thoughts that this show give a romcom but depressing vibes. I guess because of the drama genre?

Another wholesome episode, Duke's reactions are cute when he gets teased by Alice.

That dance was close idk how logically anyone would dance in that situation.

This episode had its nice moments but more or less it was a rehash of the first one. I still don't think it makes any sense for Bocchan to be shunned and not feared at the same time. I did not find funny, assuming it was meant to be, that he has to take care not to touch others rather than those he interacts with. We've seen this happen with his maid, his obnoxious sister and his butler - oh, and that cat too, if it counts.

When someone plays with fire they should not expect the fire to take care not to burn them, they should be careful not to get burned. In this case the 'fire' is a living breathing human being who needs to be careful both not to touch others and others not to touch him, which is twice the torture. If he is touched the manner in which he was touched will not matter, he will be the only one to blame either way.

There is visiting him not to feel alone, which would be commendable, and then there is what we saw in this episode. It appears the show tries to draw some kind of twisted humor from such scenes which is not funny at all. As for the maid and her constant sexual teases, which have already grown tiresome after just 2 episodes, is she really teasing him or torturing him? And what should we make of his sister's henchmen who opened wide the door of his room without knocking?

13:14 is my brain melting or was that supposed to imply that she has a complex about her nipples :D?

how in the hell did they manage to dance without touching each other? :D youll have to like perfectly know how and when the other one is going to move and if you were to lose your balance youd very likely instinctively grab onto the other person.
