| I'm speechless... awesomeness beyond imagination. My favourite show for this season for now. |
 |
| Amazing first episode, the best show so far this season by a mile. Can't wait for more. 5/5 |
| Great opening episode, I love that the animation and sound is almost movie like. |

| Oh that was just wonderful~♥ The animation style is perfectly suited to the series and Noto Mamiko's voice fit really well for Sawako. Cute, well-paced episode. I'm in love. Easily my favorite so far of the fall stuff. 5/5 |
 |
| I Hate most shoujo animes but i love ones like this and Nana. And the base doesn't seem like stupid people either this should be very enjoyable. |
| I love the animation and fuzzy feeling :) Though it's a bit slow and the romance doesn't feel that real... |

| Love the manga, and I'm liking the anime. This was cute! Chibi Sawako in animation form is adorable. And Kazehaya! <3 The colors. I loved the colors used in the anime. Soft and blended together nicely. I also liked the opening and ending. They were entertaining to watch. Oh, and some very lolz-worthy scenes in there. XD Such as Sawako frightening the other girls in the bathroom. Oh, and the awesome voice acting was... well... awesome. ^^; Even after watching just one episode, I already want to give this anime a high rating! :D |

| Sawako so poor thing x_x people dont even call her by her real name |
     |
| just awww on this ep :) |
 |
| Oh my gosh I loved it I was almost crying |
| loved this episode! I almost fainted when Kazehaya told Sawako that he wanted to see her during the summer. lol. Also the ghost scene was hilarious, honestly I don't think she's that scary. |
 |
| I thought it was alright, but like some others I felt the pace was a bit rushed and for that reason I couldn't get too into it. The animation is beautiful, though. |
 |
| Admit, it was rushed for sure, but none the less I like it alot. Has a abit of a Bokura ga Ita feel to it, for me ~ |
 |
| Just watched under SFW subs... definitely prefer FMS. I don't quite get how it's rushed though. The title of this episode is "Prologue" and directly correlates with chapter 0 of the manga, well they cut out about 2 minor scenes. I think it was a must to end it with Kazehaya talking about seeing Sadako over summer, I mean that's how things start, right? It'd be kinda sad to know that see a prologue fail to conclude what it brings up. Maybe the question would be for those saying it was rushed; Where would you have stopped the episode or changed about it? |

| Don't really like the character designs, but otherwise it's the best fall 2009 show I've seen so far. |

| Best show, this season so far. That's not saying much but it does really seem to be rather good. The ED is really nice, and lol @ HawthorneKitty for favouriting it already. |

I haven't read the Manga, so when I say it felt rushed I mean as a first episode alone. I felt like it ran through events too quickly, and didn't develop any of the moments enough to capture my interest in the characters.. which lead to a lack of interest in the series in general for me. If it was taken at a slower pace I would have enjoyed it more. The odd thing is that I expected to love this show. The comedy all felt flat with me for the most part. And I'm a big horror geek too, which is why I was interested in this in the first place (Sawako). |

| Wow, wasn't expecting it to be this good, I enjoy the voice acting and thought the character design may be different, it certainly is fitting. Looking forward to this one |

And it just gave me motivation to go continue read the manga x'3 Wewt~ (didn't drop it, I was just on-hold when it came to manga's these days. :'o) Anyways... Since I'm a huge fangirl of shoujo series and Noto Mamiko, I prolly wouldn't be able to stand any bashing. And to whoever that idiot who voted 1 in the poll. I hope you die a s low, torturous death.

| Wow.... that's all I really have to say about the first episode. Definitely the best show of the season from what I've seen. |

| Great first episode, i don't think this was rushed. It did a prefect job as a first episode setting up everything to come. By far the best anime this season(Although not saying much). I'll give it a few more episodes before i judge it anymore, but if this anime lives up to my expectations then this will definitely become one of my favorite series. |
| tl;dr @kissbang it wasn't rush... it was the FIRST chapter as in if you read only the first chapter that is the first episode i'm sorry that i refered your name to that but i saw several posts saying this is too "fast pace" or something when in terms is pretty accurate with the first chapter which is what ~26-34 pages long ? |
Lvhina said: Well, I can understand why it could possibly feel rushed when you're not comparing it to the manga since a lot actually happened from the bathroom to the end. I thought it was necessary though to focus on the relationship between Sadako and Kazehaya while they would be introducing the supporting characters in future episodes. As with the page numbers, KnT utilizes a lot of internal monologue and that takes up a few pages.tl;dr @kissbang it wasn't rush... it was the FIRST chapter as in if you read only the first chapter that is the first episode i'm sorry that i refered your name to that but i saw several posts saying this is too "fast pace" or something when in terms is pretty accurate with the first chapter which is what ~26-34 pages long ? |

| Absolutely fantastic. I really have no complaints. A perfect first episode in every way. It's easily a 5/5 and I'm eagerly waiting for the next episode. |

kissbang said: I must say i'm agree too, when i read the manga i think that way too, but this series is not only tells about the romance between Sawako and Kaze, but Sawako's relationship both romance and friendship, so i guess the pace is running in optimal pace, they still have a lot pack of beautiful story..Lvhina said: tl;dr @kissbang it wasn't rush... it was the FIRST chapter as in if you read only the first chapter that is the first episode i'm sorry that i refered your name to that but i saw several posts saying this is too "fast pace" or something when in terms is pretty accurate with the first chapter which is what ~26-34 pages long ? o _ o If it's the same exact as the manga then I might feel the manga was too fast paced for my tastes too.

greenmush said: Sawako is one of the best female leads woohoo This^^ I really enjoyed the first episode. I think this might end up being A LOT better than I originally thought it would be. |
| Woah it was much higher than what I expected before. The story was soo sweet, love the characters(Kazehaya & Sawako)<3 and the Seiyuu :3 Although I don't like the Animation(just like Lovely Complex) but it's still enjoyable, also don't know what others think but I think this Anime is a Comedy too. |
| Amazing! I really loved it. Opening and Sawako's voice are awesome! Can't wait next week to watch next episode :) |
  |
| I really loved this episode, definitely going to keep up and continue to watch it!! :) |
O_O |
| This episode was great. It was so close to the manga, even the art, I am very pleased! Sawako is so adorable! Though I thought Yano would have blonde hair, but I don't mind brown/orange either. I hope the anime can keep it up like this and it will definitely become a favourite for this season. :3 |
| Very much liked this episode ^^ laughed a lot. ill definetly keep on watching this, as i love the concept, the music in the background was simply amazing, suited very well, and sawako, she is so innocent ^^ |
 |
| pretty promising anime hope it doesnt epic fail randomly >.> |
 |
| I love how sweet and honest this episode came across. I was in dawww teary-eyed sparkle mode the entire episode. IT's funny how pessimistic anime has made me though, i kept waiting for something to go horribly wrong. The two girls to trick her with the courage test, Kazehaya to be rude to her in front of the other classmates...something. I was so on edge idk if i enjoyed it as much as i should have lol All in all it was super cute romantic and refreshing and gave me some Bokura ga Ita vibes. Art and Animation were fantastic. Looking forward to more |
