 |

  placeholder text |
| Really love how they handle the comedy and characters relationship here. Laughing all the time till the end of episode. Looking forward to next episode where I'm gonna see more of their hillarious high school life |
Hello everyone, i like Slice of Life and CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Thing) anime. I'm also like to make a lot of friends online, so feel free to add me as a friend or invite me to a club :)  |
| I like the concept a lot, a bunch of funny jokes here and there. Now it's only about seeing if it's get uninteresting by the end. Misuzu is a great character tho |
| I like everything, ok |
Lol so she inherited the fang from her mother First episode was alright, it's a fun show but the animation looked kind of bad a few times |
| Tomo-chan Is A Girl! was originally published as a 4 panel comic where 4 panels were on each page and each page was called a "chapter". This format led to quick gags and one-liners, and the plot was understandably choppy and lacked a normal narrative structure. The anime has that same choppy narrative composed of a series of short comic scenes that together begin to form a high school rom-com arc. The animation was excellent. (I am bothered by the snaggle toothed fangs of Tomo-chan and her mother. I don't remember that in the manga.) But the voice acting was stellar and really bodes well for this series. Let's hear it for Taichi You who plays Mifune, and Tanezaki Atsumi who plays Ogawa! Like the stock clown characters in Shakespeare's plays, these two walked on stage and stole the show in episode 1. They raised up the entire production and took the comedy to another level. I hope we see more of them! |
| I love this so much already! This might actually be my favorite of the season so far :D Definitely looking forward to more! |
 |
| I came into this completely blind so she's ACTUALLY a girl and this isn't akin to Ranma 1/2? Nice. It was an enjoyable episode and I really liked Tomo and Gundou. I also enjoy that Gundou and Jun hate each other at the moment even though they have a bit of childhood history. What's "weird" to me is that Jun is treating Tomo like a "guy" but... do Japanese teen boys slap each other on the behind? I mean, maybe and I just never knew but that just seemed odd. It's like he's going out of his way to wrap his arm around her and such (which guys do) but.... yeah, I feel like Jun is bluffing lol Anywho, I'll return for episode 2. |
The World Suffused with Sound.  |
| Misuzu reminds me almost exactly of Hanajima from Fruba |
 |
| Damn that was cute, I guess tomboy really is the best archetype. |
LostSpectre said: nightcrawlercyp said: Anime characters with this art style practically all have the same god damn face, sit the fuck down. Exactly. Men do not like Androgynous women. This goes beyong being tomboish is a hormonal problem Is not about the face. Forgetting they are way too develloped for the grade their supposed to be in the problems are as follows: 1. low pitch voice. Is lower than most adult men. Unless you are a heavy smoker or have hormonal issues as a woman you should not get that voice. 2. male body frame. The female skeletons are different than male especially in asian countries were often even males have a feminine body frame. is the she ra issue again. is like they put boobs on a man. 3. the hair due she has is not tomboish.is characteristic to 3 categories os people: young male thugs, women over 60 that no longer care if they are attractive, man hating feminists. 4. She is extremely violent. The trope with girl hits guy because she is embarassed does not really work at that level. There are other issues as well with the anime related to karate and female body strength but not gonna get into those here. Note: I read a bit in the manga out of curiosity and the problems do not see in the manga as well. It seems they made everything more extreme in the anime thus unrealistic : their size (especially Tomoe which in the manga is visibly less tall) , her frame (in the manga is female but a bit too muscular still realistic), her voice (implied to be a bit raspy when angry but not that low pitched) , her violence (in the manga she only hits him when he actually does something extremely embarassing not every 2 minutes), her hair (while still similar is not that extreme) - as a note in the manga she tries changing her hair due but when she is asked to pick a hair style she gives up thanks tp her female "friend" (note than women have no female friends just frienemies) showing she is lazy and does not like to follow through. Also I I remember correctly he runs after seeing her panties not her boobs. |

| First time I see a tomboy anime like this, the seiyu (Rie Takahash) is very funny, it reminded me of Romantic killer that also stars a woman very similar to Tomo, as if they were twin sisters xD The worrying thing is that I felt rushed in certain parts to change one scene to another, I've never seen the manga but it's my feeling that there wasn't much development. |
 |
| Yeah... I knew this was gonna happen... Manga format didn't traslate very well into the anime, since every chapter was one page with one gag and it worked for that. In the anime it looked fast-paced and rushed, with so many things happening and characters introduced in just the first half. Luckily the further we'll get into the story the narrative gets better structured, so several gags can fit into one single setting and it won't feel so rushed, let's see if direction can handle it. Looking forward to see Carol appearance the next week too. |
| Damn Tomo can be brutal with those hits. First episode was ok and I already noticed that even though Jun mostly sees Tomo as a bro he knows she's a girl and even ran off when her shirt was see-through when it got wet from the rain so I think he's already at least starting to see her more than a bro. I'm thinking Misuzu will bring them closer throughout the series while messing with them and, based on other people's comments, a character named Carol will be introduced soon. |
| So Rie Takahashi has been typecast as the same voice for years and now she gets to branch out and it's amazing. It's kinda obnoxious how many good VAs are picked to do the same schtick over and over when they could be doing a lot more. |
| OK, that was awesome. Potential AOTS, loved the premise. |
| @viperhc Mizuzu at least in the anime is evil. She does not really care about them. Even in the manga the little I read I hate her. I mean she tells Tomo to choose a hair style but that she will hate her if she chooses hers (which btw is the same as 60% of other girls in class) which makes Tomo give up. She toys with them, at times doing stuff to bring them closer and in the same adding obstacles not to get too close ever. She is a sadistic biatch |
| Gundo's a bit sadistic, but I think she is only after what makes her two friends happy. And Jun's not at all that clueless, he just doesn't know how to treat her differently - I think. Anyway, a potential boyfriend-material better show up & knock some sense into him so he'll start treating Tomo like a real girly-girl and not just his tomboy-ish BFF from childhood lol |
       |
| The problem I think is not that he treats her like a guy but like a little sister. Based on personal experience if you hang out with a girl a lot before you end puberty you may consider her as a sister and not think of her as potential dating material. The childhood friend trope does not always work especially with more tomboish girls. Sometimes you see them as sisters and unlike what hentai try to convince you (about 30% these days for some reason are siscon) we do not see our sisters this way. |
| This seems like a very fun show. I could get into this. RieRi voicing a tomboy sounds fantastic! |
| What a fun start! I don't know how many times Tomo hit Junichirou but it was funny. Misuzu's aura reminds me of Hana-chan, hahah. I like her. |
 |
| It's finally here, an adaptation we've all been waiting for, and it hits it right on the nail. Fantastic first episode that I believed landed it's jokes quite well. And the umbrella scene animated, truly a beautiful sight to see. Overall great stuff, proud that it's this good of an adaptation. |
 |
| I loved already. Love theses silly School RomCom like Gekkan Shoujo, Romantic Killer and Horimiya etc. So this is a must watch! The characters are all enjoyable for now and Tomo-chan is so funny. |
| It's finally here! I'm so excited about this anime, and this episode was a good start. I hope the anime remains good all the way to the end. That's all I ask. |
 |
| That was great and hilarious lmao, Rieri is so good. Fs in chat for Tomo though, Jun's perception of her be so far from a girl that he slapping her ass like a bro. Good to know that Jun slaps his bros asses though. The most hilarious part of the episode was definitely those girls picking a fight with Tomo, she was squaring up lmao. But at the end of the day, Tomo got that rizz frfr. Misuzu's great as well, gotta love that chaotically evil energy she gives off. |
 |
| Personally idk if Jun is oblivious or blind but Tomo's so strong it's actually kind of cool! The show's really entertaining I normally hate any romance related anime's but this one seems like it'll be really fun to watch. |
 |
| I started off thinking we were getting the most dense protag ever in Jun, but looks like he does know Tomo is actually a girl as he tells Misuzu that he didn't join a club because there were no co-ed clubs and he'd want to join with Tomo. Plus he got super annoyed when she mentioned the hypothetical situation of Tomo getting a boyfriend, and he noticed her breasts when her shirt was wet, so yeah he knows but is acting like he doesn't. So there's something more going on with Jun. He knows she's a girl and even pretended not to notice her confession, or misunderstood, and continues to act like she's a girl. Not what I thought it was going to be. |
 |
| Pretty funny. Tomo-Chan is cute even though she’s so brutish a tomboy. I can already tell Jun knows she’s a girl and actually likes her but just can’t face his feelings so he deals with it by just forgetting and acting like she’s one of the guys. I wonder if those two girls are going to develop a crush on her. |
| Rieri voicing a tomboyish character this time, I love that she's diversifying her roles lately. First episode was fun as I expected, I really enjoyed it. It's like Takagi-san but much better and more mature I guess. TheHubrisofMan said: The anime is co-produced by CR, there's no way it will be on Netflix in the west.I'm soooo happy this anime isn't airing on Netflix ("Netflix Hell")! |
 |
| quite the funny first episode, I really am enjoying the voice acting in this show |
 |
| good start this gonna be good |
 |
| I really wanted to like this but there's just something off about it. The comedy's just way too "loud" for lack of a better term |
| I liked the manga (haven't finished it), but at the time I thought it would be cool if it got an anime adaptation. I didn't even know the manga got an anime until 30 minutes ago. It wasn't the best first episode I watched, but it did almost everything it needed to show for a first episode. I liked the dynamic all the characters had like Tomo and Jun (given) and Tatsumi and Misuzu. I did like the confused faces of Chiyomi and Naoko at the end of the episode. When Misuzu told Tomo about "The Natural Lady-Killer" thing, I found it funny but believable that Tomo would have a problem with the killer part, instead of what it actually means. |
