That was one helluva first episode, i liked hare's antics and that girl was an interesting character, looking forward to seeing all kinds of things that would be happening in the coming episodes

5/5

By the way, does anyone know how many episodes this series is gonna have? I assume that, given the pacing and the number of chapters that have come out, this is gonna be a one-cour....

Light’s inteligence and L’s “I don’t need to try to much” attitude (death note), Souske’s lack of normality (Full metal panic), Shouta’s similar looks (kimi no todoke), Usui’s bad*ssness (Kaichou wa Maid-sama), Kodaka’s lack of experience with friends (Boku wa Tomodachi Sukunai), Ken’s ability to be straight forward with his feelings with the girls he likes (Seitokai no Ichizon), and Hayate’s scense of justice (Hayate no Gotoku!). Damn he’s is one of the best male leads I’ve seen in while. The story has a “Special A/Kaichou wa Maid-Sama” feel to it too, where both the top students at the school are the main love interests.

First episode was awesome! Doesn't look like it is going to be a really slow shoujo that just drags on. The two mains are both animated very well and their personalitys really fit the voices. Hoping it touches out as good as Maid-sama

Watching this because of Haruka-chan. Hopefully I won't be disappointed. Don't turn into Kimi ni Todoke, or the various soap operas/telenovelas, please? Although I doubt that it won't, so much for that hope at the start, eh?

I didn't know that Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is so popular. I mean... already 9 pages of people commenting 1st episode? O_o
Stupid Haru Dx how can you just pull and kiss her and act like nothing much happened? Poor Shizuku, blushing like hell alone.

The animation really feels like Brain Base-style but is it just me or are they going too fast with this? Well, seems like everybody is reading the manga so I guess it's fine... 4/5 ep :D

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I am only listening this for the Director cause he was involved in Kimi ni Todoke, I personally hate the shit head Haru and like Shizuku so much that I got her into my harem and frankly speaking any guy who hits girl should die in hell seriously. Haru is fucking shit compared to Haru and I beat this shit anytime. Let’s see he handles a 450lbs in the face. Other than that my thoughts follow.

About the per-presentation, it’s quite simple in the list outlining a good amount of them.
  • The beginning in the spoiler
    is rather interesting of the statute it depicts as I am not too sure of its origin but am sure there is some meaning behind it.

  • Very interested in the poor crying girl in the spoiler
    her hair is nice in the wind and her eyes are very distressed. I wonder what happened and her backdrop story along with saying I like her face.

  • This boy in the spoiler
    looks pretty cool and happy but I wonder what’s up with him. Design wise he looks fine.

  • Yamaken in the spoiler
    surely has some interesting backgrounds but I did know he is some kind of gangster and Haru regards him pretty cool so what’s up with him is what I want to know.

  • The glasses girl in the spoiler
    has a very nice shy face along with MOE glasses. Now I do wonder why is she so shy and what is her purpose in this series. I assume she is a friend of Shizuku eventually so it remains to see of her role.

  • Finally there is the chicken and Haru in the spoiler
    whom I find his barbaric face bad and his render bad because his attitude pisses me off.
So that’s my take even before the OP started. Quite interesting elements as one can see to grasp the viewer.

About the OP, here is my take on the OP per element in the list. Head well most are credit free.
  • The start has a rather nice intro of Shizuku in the spoiler
    remarking different ways she see Haru. This is a foreshadow to say of her thoughts on Haru as he reacts differently. Some of those symbols quite simply may mean something he likes or associates him plainly. Still liked Shizuku depictions.

  • I noticed the Chain and dog collar in the spoiler
    and frankly speaking the colours are nice there but the attitude of the couple is disturbing as if one deems the other too wild for their own good.

  • The time and chicken in the spoiler
    along with the colours shown was quite groovy as the hippie times of arts fuzzes come back in rather perplexed ways. Graphically speaking.

  • Lovely depiction of face up of Shizuku in the spoiler
    adding Haru’s looks into it which makes it fair since Shizuku’s looks were there in the previous part before this one.

  • Shizuku in the spoiler
    is once again nicely shown with a background pertaining nicely to Haru.

  • Nice depiction of the glasses girl in the spoiler
    and that other girl whom got scared of Haru is there too, which I think is the crying girl. Well nice depiction of the OP I find.

  • That part in the spoiler
    is most likely my favourite since it shows Shizuku rather well and the SFX are nice. Moreover the flow and arrangements are nice.

  • The pink picture in the spoiler
    for it shows a group that is rather nicely laid out. I like the MOE of it particularly and the random insert of the chicken.

  • Lovely depictions of Shizuku in the spoiler
    while Haru can go hide before I sent him into orbit with my punch.

  • Finally nice depiction in the spoiler
    particularly the fact it shows Haru being chained like a dog should be, which is what he is. A dog that is too wild and too smart for its own good and peace.
So in conclusion the OP being this colourful surely is meant to be happy however with Haru in it, it just makes me want to punch him.

My first impression of Shizuku in the following,

Is super MOE! Instant shy face love. Certainly Shizuku was quite something there after having a kiss. I liked her face there and reactions but I HATED the brutal shit Haru did to her as in grabbing her but it does not even end there!

About random comments, oh dear the start in the spoiler
was already attempted rape. THE FUUUUUU? It was rather deem of a barbarian. Call the cops! Quick!

Now if that was not enough, the spoiler
clearly shows Rape #2 or attempt at least. Haru does threaten her with rape so that says loads already of him. I would FALCON PUNCH HIM! Since I go to gym, I am fully confident of it. Even if it was a joke, it was in plain bad taste.

Now here is something funny. Haru can MOE the shit out in the spoiler
rather well and WTF that he can do it? Weird guy after all the shit he did early, you would think he has a mental bipolarity there. However it seems he is much worse in the spoiler
apparently dumping drinks of anyone for that matter is OK if they say shit he does not like. Well I got bad news for him, someone will beat the shit out of him if not shoot him out of Rage.

Now I do admit he was surprising in the spoiler
cause he does protect Shizuku who does stand up to him to protect his values.

TBH things in the spoiler
get rather TOO QUICK! THE F IS THAT? A hug that fast and rather not so meaningful but somewhat emotional good enough for me. Then I FACE-PALM! Haru saying sexually. Damn guy sure says stuff.

So based on the following spoiler
the jokes will be dirty at some spots? I hope the service gets not too dirty considering the director of Kimi ni Todoke is doing it, surely he would not like such scenes to direct at the very least IMO.

Then comes the shits of shits in the spoiler
Shizuku gets hit by Haru. She has a bleeding nose and with luck it’s not broken. Haru loses his temper due to thinking about delusional shits most likely. I think I would hit him bad there. The guys around him are little match stick shits with no muscles. I would fucking teach Haru a lesson. NEVER HIT A GIRL SHIT HEAD!

Despite all the following,

Along the spoiler
gets even more demented as the kiss is in fact is done with sheer force and grasp. Not that Shizuku minded BUT I DID! The ways it was done was terribly aggressive.

So in that being said I like Shizuku in general and her girls but Haru pisses me off and I wonder how he will change to that affect cause so far I want to punch him and beat him for that nose hitting.

It was a good idea to check this out, might prove to be a hidden gem for me.
The episode was rather funny and i love the atmosphere it gives off. Nicely done shoujo are a rarity for me, and this seems to be one of those.
Shizuku is an awesome protagonist, and Haru while a bit too crazy, is a rather nice male lead as well.

A great 1st episode IMO. Haru kinda reminds me of Atsushi with his rather innocent, maybe a bit childish (?), personality. Though it was kinda unexpected and weird that Haru would be a delinquent yet being the smartest guy in school.

The kiss was freaking EPIC!! Shizuku being embarrassed was quite cute.
Somehow... I really like Shizuku's character.

This ep was really nice but I felt that it progressed to quickly for me...
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Hmm I think the pacing is fine. IMO, this 'hurried' pacing serves two purposes:

1. Captures the audience to ensure their viewership.

2. Gets over and done with all the typical scenes of such a shoujo anime, so that it can move on to the more atypical ones.

Could tell the production was kinda cheap by some of the scenes but it was alright even so! The characters all look and sound right to me so that was good.

Excellent! To be honest, I read a bit of the manga but didn't enjoy the fast pace. But then Brains Base A+ Team made it look better animated. No less expected from the guy who worked in the script of two of the studio's hits, Durarara!! and Baccano!.

Haru seemed a bit forced, but then Shizuku is amazing. I don't think she'll be a passive girl in their relationship.
Also, about the "I'm gonna rape you" and beating stuff, I don't think Haru meant any real harm. He just looks awkward.

Anyway, really amazing. I'm almost completely in love. As some here guessed, they did all the traditional shoujo stuff in 20 minutes with eccentric characters and now the expectations are of something more unusual. Now I want more!
