I was recommended this one, and Im not disappoint, this is so wholesome !

So cute and cozy, it may be quick between both of them, but maybe thats what we call love at first sight, Idk, and the way he's very physical with her and people, part of his personnality?

I really appreciated this, like of course A silent voice, because its important to make people learn more about this handicap, bring the light to them, its not easy, Im part of it, know people in this situation, so its really nice to see it represented, finally having people who understand you, instead of thinking you're a weirdo, or "inferior" to them, there's so much things to say

And I got tears when she drops her umbrella and jumps, so cute to see her happy ^w^

I like the opening and appreciate the characters. This show feels very timid and soft, which makes me feel a bit warm. I like romances where the characters take a while to confess, but I feel like that this will be a romance where they confess early on. If so, then I hope it's good, because my experience with the 2nd option is not good. Looking forward to watching A Sign of Affection!

Was the male lead getting fillers in his lips in Canada? Was this the true reason for his visits outside Japan? Is the male lead "special"?

More importantly, will the protagonist stop acting like an imbecile after episode 1 and not be just a shoe-in for a kid the writer wants to fuck?

Can't wait for these questions to be never answered in this new generic romance anime, where a hot deaf girl (THAT'S new, amiright?) somehow avoided getting a date.

The first episode gives a good insight into the mind of Yuki and how she lives her day-to-day life while being deaf, while also introducing the main love interest. Overwall It is an excellent first episode to a show of this kind. Can't wait to see more from this show and where it will go in the future!

The colors are very pleasing. I like how they first ran into each other. I can't wait to see the perspective of a deaf older MC. They've already physically touched, so that's good.

Let’s say this is my first impression on “A Sign of Affection”
( First Episode )

SUPER cuteeeee , visually gorgeous , mood and tone is so nice. I’d describe this anime as “Pink”
It gives out such a positive , clam and feel-good vibes

Hooked me at the very first 10 seconds , precisely at the close-up shot of our main protagonist , because the girl is super cute และ the visual here is hands-down fantastic !

Ps. The anime is well-made ; the vibes , visual , colors , music.. it’s such a wholesome experience💕 I’m impressed and like it enough that I decided to patiently wait for each episode to come out and watch instead of just go buy manga and binge read the whole thing like I normally do.😋

This episode was so calm, quiet and warm. I felt a lot emotions and within the first 10 minutes i was crying. This anime is so beautiful, its rate is well-deserved. I don't know I was looking for something like this until i watched it.

I've been meaning to start this anime as someone who learned ASL for 4 years and a sucker for romance animes. So far I think it's adorable! Can't confirm if any of the signing is accurate because I'm thinking the sign might be JSL. Already rooting for these two.

Aaaahh.. first love - or first crush! 💖 The best feeling!
Very sweet first episode, with a few A Silent Voice vibes.
I hope they do not completely break each other's heart later on, though we all know they will.

My not-so-minor complaint was Yuki's (no wonder she likes snow with such a name!) interaction with her mother. There is no way in hell the mother of 19-year old deaf girl did not ever bother to learn sign language.

And yet we're supposed to believe that her mother talks to her only orally (rather fast and from a distance too) and Yuki needs to use a... tablet(?!) to communicate with her?!
Come on, really? 🤦🏽

Did the creators not know how to handle their interaction and wanted to avoid having her mother talk to her both orally and with sign language? Having her use sign language only and adding subs would have resolved that; I'm sure their shared scenes will be very short. Instead they made her mother seem completely callous and had Yuki magically understand everything she said while she has trouble understanding everyone else...

It starts off... kinda boring.
The characters seem very shallow and uninteresting.
The joy Yuki showed at the end of the first episode didn't resonate with me in any way.
I can't put my finger on it just yet but it simply feels off.

Fair enough if you like it but honestly as far as I can tell about watching one episode Koe no Katachi is just plain better, it feels real or at least plausible.

I think it is an original story, which is truly moving. It promises a lot in its first chapter.

I find it funny that the first impression I have of this anime is a most wholesome anime love story EVER (because it's the first comment I saw when I found the announcement for this), when in fact it's just another naive girl falling in love with a random handsome guy. LMAO

Rating the episode 10/10 juts because FMC is super duper cute, I think this is just woman wet dream anime and the first comment I read was probably from a woman as well.

So... at first, the animation made me feel a little weird because it's TOO pretty. I'm not used to this, haha.

I liked this episode. I'm sure I'm going to love the rest of the anime because it seems to be sooooo cute and adorable.

Ohhh, this is actually sweet, good idea to make a adult romcom like that with a deaf girl, I actually like her so far, the boy looks good as well even though it's the kind of world traveller handsome boy (these ones are often red flags IRL lmao)

Okay I read the first chapter of the manga a bit ago, but I don't remember Itsuomi being that straight forward lol.

If it wasn't for it being such a heart warming environment, I would think it was a bit too much ^^;. Overall, love the vibes and setting of the series so far! Bit slow, but I guess that's the charm of it lol. Cute start tho! ₊˚⊹⋆ ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ ` ꒱ྀིა . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖

The animation matches the manga's gentle and unique art style. One we don't see much of in shoujo these days. I'm glad that anime is slowly stepping away from the moe art-style. It's a very nice detail, adding more to their lips. Not only is it better to look at, you can see the mouth movements more clearly, I think. Just not when animating a comedic scene.

Pure eye candy, this anime is gorgeous and has the best of coloring in the last years. Yeah it is a very basic premise with the childhood friend and the crush and all that but again the anime is really pretty and a deaf protagonist is a nice refreshing touch for the formula since to me that means the couple will have to learn how to communicate with each other more considering there aren't deaf male leads. Very cute, will continue.
