| quite amusing show, definitely worth watching if every episode gets to be as funny as this one |
 |
| Ah man I loved this! Defiantly watching more! Everyone is now confirmed as ero book lovers (your an ero book lover, and your an ero book lover) |
 |
| It wasn't what I expected, the 2nd half was good though. Excell said: Wacky cast of characters. I'll give this a few more episodes. MTE. |
 |
| It had one or two LOL moments for me, like the part with HIo and Umio, but hmmm I'll have to see a few more episodes to see whether I like it enough to keep it on my watching list. I'm interested in seeing the other characters. |
| Enjoying it so far! None of the characters are annoying or bitchy and they're pretty much all likeable, tho the Director is quite the slave-driver. I notice that all the girls look like they're about 12, though they're working in the 18+ section and from the PV Hio has quite the rack hidden under those clothes. I guess it's just the moeblob style that makes all the girls look loli. Will definitely watch this season. |
Moodie said: Definitely gonna keep watching...the faces are so round and stuff but not in a bad way :Icute, quirky and funny |
 |
| I've absolutely fallen in love with this show, it's everything I hoped for and more. It's so adorable and quirky along with an animation style you can fall in love, my hype was not in vain. |
| Not hilarious but it seems like it could turn out to be a cute nerdy comedy. I just hope they don''t overuse the ERO gags and Tsukkomi commentary. It reminds me of Working!! though, and that isn't a bad thing to be reminded of... |
| Cute. It's everything that I expected for this show. |
 |
| This was a last minute watch for me. The episode was definitely cute and had some laughs. Not 100% sold on it yet, but I will give it a few more episodes! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| It was fun and cute. VAs fit good and the music is meh. I loved this part: because it's going to be true sooner or later. |
  |
| A little mixed of working!+Mangaka-san to Assistant-san+Genshiken Nidaime. Nice 1st episode. |
| Ehhh it was kind of funny at times but so far nothing special. |
| Oh my god it's like Gekken Shoujo all over again! I can already tell I'm going to like Sensei. xD |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| This was VERY mediocre. I can't see myself giving a better rating than 5. And it might still drop because the next episode looked like some fanservice trash in the preview. |
| I like how they adapted it from the manga so its a great start :D |
| That was fun.. I especially likes the art It's cute and simple |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| That was pretty funny. Not bad for first episode The director role suits Yoshitsugu Matsuoka's voice well decent opening and ending song |
| I`m watching this for the Shark Teeth loli the show isn`t bad though. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| It got quite a few laughs out of me and that's usually enough for me with this kind of show. Looking forward to more. |
PencilSharpener said: EphidelAMV said: Feels like a whackier Working!' You just convinced me to consider watching this show. Hm. So far, I'd say it's more like a less funny Working! Oh well, the setting has potential. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
 Preach my sister! I love books so this being set in a manga/book shop has automatically put me in a good mood. I'm kind of curious and slightly worried about what that adult book is about (the one with kid with a backpack). |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Some of the situations were moderately amusing but the art style really makes it impossible to take any situations seriously (even this compulsive shipper doesn't have much enthusiasm matching chibi characters). It is billed only as seinen comedy so that might be intentional, but it will make it difficult to broaden its appeal. I'll watch it, but it won't be on the top of my priority list. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| seems okay... was mainly disappointed by the fact it doesn't seem like there will be real anime references like Genshiken |
 |
I like this one. |
| Fu girl's teeths are disturbing. |
 |
| The OP and ED song are not bad. Got a range of interesting and unique characters. Interested to see more. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| This was a lot of fun. Also all the female voices are godlike. And not a single tsundere in sight. I'm in, 100%. |
| "we are all ero book lovers" wise words! the first episode was alright, i guess. if they add some more humor the show might be pretty good. |
 |
| Wow this episode felt all over the place lol. Hio sure is awkward I think everyone needs a Sommelier |
 |
| Not THAT funny but it's so cute I need to watch it all. |
| And I was unsure whether to pick it up or not. I'm so glad I did. :) It was very entertaining. Ero book lovers unite! x3 |
 |
| Cute and fun would sum it up. Weird too would do the job. That sommelier bit especially, in a manga shop! Didn't have any big laugh but it made me smile, so I'll keep it. |
| Dat Working and Servant x Service vibe <3 An Ero Manga Store : 0 We are all Ero Book Lovers XDDD. Hope to see more of her. I wonder what my manga of my dream is? Yay convention. Umio helps Sensei out <3 God of the new world!!! Death Note. Also the apples too. |
| not yuru yuri level funny, but no reason for me not to check it out once a week. count me in! |
| It wasn't really that funny. I was hoping for more comedy. It wasn't bad and it wasn't good. |
 |
| this is fun to watch . . :))) |
| banco said: Not Yuru Yuri level funny I agree, but "Yuru Yuri" (2011) is, according to the Japanese Wikipedia article: "Yuri", "Gag comedy", "Romantic comedy" and "School". The Japanese Wikipedia article about this series says that it is "Romantic comedy" (ラブコメディ) and "Slice of life" (日常). So... I guess that the point of this series is not to leave you rolling on the floor laughing at every moment. After all, how hilarious is real life when working in a bookstore specializing (apparently) in adult manga? While we are on the topic of "Yuri", if you look from 03:53 to 03:57, you can see the government inspector reading through a manga with two girls on the cover, one with long purple hair and the other with long green hair. At the bottom, in yellow, it says, "What older brother doesn't know." |

| Not bad some scene are funny :) |
 |
| After her very thorough inspection of the "adult" section, there was only one manga which the government inspector found objectionable. You can see it at 05:27. The title is (barely) visible as "YO JO JI DAI Vol.5". In the manga, Chapter 2, on page 34, the title is shown as 幼女時代. This is pronounced "Yōjo jidai" and it means "little girl times". That issue also includes a "full-page little girl". |
| I mostly just watched it because Ayana Taketatsu did the OP but that was really nice. Comedy is wacky without going too over the top, the characters are all really likeable, the atmosphere is very relaxing and the hints at romance have me wanting more. Nothing too special but definitely looks like a fun watch. Oh, and to address what that other guy said I laughed way more at this than Yuruyuri. Yuruyuri definitely tries a lot harder to make you laugh and has comedy as a central focus but I can count the number of times I audibly laughed during both seasons on one hand. |

| Not bad, but compared to the other past slice of life of the past seasons (namely Gekkan Shojou, Mangaka-San, Servant x Service) this one feels more random and messy. May watch a bit more just in case, although the first episode did not really appeal to me greatly. |
 |
| Its okay and it has its quirks. Will watch more if it gets interesting. |
