Quite a cute episode mostly with Takuma and Shori character chemistry.

It appears Shori really cares about him an even has daydreams. Maybe it'll be a recurring trend in this show but they gave Shori a very cute look an personality so far. Animation quality looks decent I guess, nothing too special but I think it's the character chemistry that sells this anime/episode.

Mangaka Saisou's series, can be seen as a merge between Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! a.k.a Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! and Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi a.k.a My Senpai is Annoying.

Touya Kobayashi's OP is good, damn it is. YU-KA's ED...is fine, I guess.

The chibi shortie that is the Senpai Shiori Katase, along with her kouhai of Takuma Shinozaki, his innocent self is pampered by the cute Uzaki-chan like behavior. Her purring to the cats on the streets, that's typical of her. Operating under their Manager Akina Chihiro, both Shinozaki and Shiori have their moments. as with the massage, which brings about sexual innuendos, other than it being weirdly wholesome...? Together with designers Aiko Yamagishi and Chinatsu Hayakawa, the end-of-year party is a pique for Aiko because the latter and him are childhood friends who are close with each other, which Shiori finds it jealous, and wants that sort of companion with Hayakawa.

A slip-up at work, doesn't mean that Shinozaki can get away with it, not in front of Shiori, who compliments him when he works hard. Seeking some help in her own "abuse of authority", Shiori helps Shinozaki with his work, though he repays her by keeping her warm with his blazer, which has the feeling that he's hugging her from behind. Above all, Shinozaki's grateful for his Senpai's help that doesn't drag into overtime, being able to eat dinner together. And back on the purring session, he made fun of her, and Manager Akina watches from afar of both Shinozaki and Shiori's antics.

Decent series, though will see more to determine if this'll hold up.

Always up for more senpai romance even if they don't look the part. This was an okay start, a bit slow and boring but the cute senpai moments made up for it. Though the forced lewd ish scenes were out of place. Hope this'll get better with upcoming episodes.

Ah yes the anime that made twitter explode with “pedo bait” allegations is finally here, cause we all know pedophilia is when anime girl short!

Great first episode. Basically your standard teasing anime, but in workplace form. I love the dynamic between Shinozaki and Katase, the banter hits, it’s wholesome and sweet. Side characters are interesting as well, especially the childhood friend

Seems like it’ll just be pure fluff with the occasional innuendo, but at work as opposed to school. Plus Katase is cute af. Sign me up.

also is that Takemichi I hear?

My Senpai is Annoying + Senko-san πŸ˜… As expected of a senpai, Shiori has a lot more sex appeal than Futaba.

Looking at the summer lineup this might be the safest bet to fill the fun show spot.

Similar situation to My Senpai is Annoying except the cute short girl is in the senpai role doing all the teasing and the guy that has a crush on her senpai is in the kouhai position. The two of them have more of a mother/son relationship that allows them to be very close as coworkers. I like workplace romances, but this might be a little too bland for me which it typical for most anime done by Project 9, so hopefully there will be some kind of development or at least some interesting side characters.

Wholesome, but quite bland I'd say, as expected by Project No.9. Hopefully this doesn't completely fall apart like a certain other Project No.9 show that aired in the Winter this year. Hopefully all the office workers have some distinct personalities and have fun interactions.

Well I wouldn't fault the studio for its blandness, they just adapt the source material.

Looks like I wasn’t the only one reminded of “Uzaki-chan wants to Hang Out” and “My Senpai is Annoying” lol, but from the looks of this first episode we have a very different dynamic between the characters here, and it’s cute as hell too. I found a lot of the bits in this one to be very good, I was especially a fan of when Shinozaki and Katase went out to the restaurant and at the end when Shinozaki was pretending to be a cat lol, this makes me think we got a good ass show on our hands.

And I can’t deny Katase is super cute, she’s tiny but also not tiny if you’re picking up what I’m putting down lol, and her VA does such a good job, I love the voice acting. I also want to mention it’s always nice getting anime set in the workforce, as someone at that age it just hits a bit different than high school shows. And damn what a nice OP and ED, no DIALOGUE+ sadly which I always secretly hope for with Project No.9 shows but these are both very good regardless, I can’t wait for more of this show!

This is going to be a wholesome anime for sure. Though I think the manga form of this is better. I'm not saying that the animation and art is bad or anything, but the vibes just feel like it's better as a manga. For those who want to check out the manga, know that there are like 3 different versions (from what I've seen) lol, I sometimes get confused when jumping between them once in a while.

Never ending plan to watch list...

lmao WHAT i did not expect this much sexual innuendo, none in fact. but ay, senpai got the goods.

oml it's freakin takemichi as the guy, well that's a bit annoying but i'll overlook it.

it's moving pretty quick tho, dinner together already in the first episode.

... I did not like that LOL I pretty much had to force myself to watch through the second half, and at that point I was just waiting for the episode to be over, checking the time every so often. The funny thing is though, I knew just from how this show looked that I wouldn't enjoy it, but I thought "Hey, why not give it a shot..." well hey no one can say I didn't give this one a shot lol

Not sure if I'll be back next week for this one

It seems quite interesting, it caught my attention since I saw the trailers, the only thing I hope is that it is not a "romance bait" throughout the whole season.

The characters are quite likable, I'm very intrigued to see how much depth and quality of writing they will have.

I don't know anything about the work (in fact I don't even know if it's an adaptation of a manga or an LN xd), so the only reference I'll have will be the anime ._.

the senpai looks ridiculous. this was boring and lame for the most part but there were a few good moments. plenty of cringe was present too. might get better.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Damm thats quite the height difference between her and her peers. Must be embarassing though to have done your employee presentation with the slides upsides but least it went well.Rare talent that Shiori has to remain cute even when she's angry though. Overall a pretty fun opening ep that did well in showing the chemistry that lay between the two main leads. Shiori's cuteness really is OP. Curious to meet the other members of the office and see how they affect the dynamic of the narrative.

Maybe this is one of those anime with a very specific target audience, and I'm not part of the target so I can't enjoy the cuteness of this. I really want to watch until the third episode but just finishing 23 minutes was hard enough... so sad because I was in the mood for a romcom....

I liked this as manga a lot but.. I don't think it works that well as anime, atleast not when the episodes are this long. Maybe if it was one of those short animes where the episodes are 3-6 minutes long I would consider watching it completely.

As a degen, the whole episode was fine BUT not enough
then this 'jealous' scene happened where he was thinking his own thing but it was actually her wanting to be friends with Hayakawa.
WHY they could not make it so it was what he was thinking and actually flirt with each other, i would have loved that.
if u tell me cose its a work place then dont speak to me

This anime knows it's target audience, I'm an absolute sucker and a pushover for this sort of thing, and once again, they've got me hooked, lined and sunk. It's raw, with little nuance, but goddamn do I enjoy it.

My Senpai is Annoying, but reversed, more erotic and less "annoyance". Plus a bunch of other interesting side characters that I can see having fun dynamics down the line. If this doesn't become my AOTS, I'll be shocked.
