| Wow so many crazy things happened in one episode, awesome, looking forward to the next one |
 |
| Seems to be pretty good! I liked the beginning part a lot but I was a little surprised about the skip to one month later. Some parts could have been a BIT more searious, but it's not that genre after all XD Still, nice episode and looking forward to more. I am wondering though what the next episodes will be about! Funny preview with the chicken. |
 |

| Looks promising so far :D just like how I remember it~ It's lucky that Shizuku has the personality she has, otherwise I'm pretty sure alot of people would be hating on Haru's actions and his ways of expression lol Now lets see how this fairs with "Sukitte Iinayo" D: |
| OMFG ... I'm a man and i just laugh because i like it xD Jesus What?! Sudenly a kiss... That badass guy :'D |
| I'm so exited in this show ;) < Loved it! > ♥ |
| A good start, I don't regret starting this show, it might be a pleasant surprise. |
| Where is the next episode? Dang, I cant wait for it! lol. Great 1st episode! |

Yumekichi11 said: Wow, you really seem to hate Haru. I have a question though, if the genders were reversed, would you still hate him? Like, if Haru was the girl and Shizuku was the guy, but they had the same personalities? I've seen girls in anime intentionally punch boys and people find it funny and even seem to love it. But if a guy punches a girl (unintentionally, mind you) then it's suddenly wrong. |
| Do you know Oyashiro-sama? |
| Straight away I was hooked. There's something about Shizuku's delivery that keeps me entertained. I guess I can identify with her in a few ways. Funny and emotional. It was very fast paced and entertaining. A very good first impression. |
| This feels so much like another kaichou wa maid sama except the main character is a delinquent and the development is much faster!!! XD I already want more! |
| Man, this sucks. That ED isn't gonna be released until December! OMG. I absolutely adore it. Love at first listen. As for the ep as a whole, I loved it, as awkward as it was. I'll definitely keep my eye on this one this season. |

-KamioRika- said: Yes in general I think that in love any form of violence is not good. Even the aggressive kiss is like O_o but I think this is just a extreme form they are playing with in this series. So no I would not be indifferent except that in some forms that are more mild/comedic I tolerate it. This looked like a semi-serious tone.Yumekichi11 said: Wow, you really seem to hate Haru.

Hence I concluded the character mixture to be: http://myanimelist.net/character/64051/Akatsuki_Ousawa + http://myanimelist.net/character/13531/Shouta_Kazehaya anyone may think so? Considering the director of Kimi ni Todoke is directing it, he must have seen some Kazehaya in Haru. |

I somewhat agree with this except the part that Haru doesn't seem to be the perverted or shameless type as opposed to Akatsuki judging from this episode. I took that kiss as a comedy though as this series...is romantic comedy. It's like taking violence and making a comedy out of it and I found that it worked quite amusingly this episode. On the other hand, Shizuku reminds me of Maka Albarn in terms of personality and somewhat of appearance. |

| wat the heck did i just watch 5/5 |

| Such a fast pace, made it seem longer than it should've been. Still highly entertaining, and I actually love how this is turning out. And I can't believe they kissed on the first episode, totally unexpected. 5/5. |

| ^.^: is this guy for real? |

 |
| I ended up skimming through quite a bit of it, though I'll prolly watch a few more eps before decide whether or not to drop it. |
| harukas voice, oh wow! |
| Wut so he didn't realize at all that he had elbowed Shizuku accidentally, poor Shizuku lol. |
| Keep moving forward |
| THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING! I'm in love with Haru <3 |
| I like the fact that they didn't make Shizuku look beautiful, reflects the completely lack of interest she has in her appearance xD |
 |
| Nice first episode, though I'm expecting much more since the KimiTodo director is involved in this show. Also, +1 point for main heroine beat up =P |
Yumekichi11 said: I agree with you Yumekichi11. Certain scenes in this episode didn't sit well with me (I would feel the same even if the genders were reversed). Maybe if they put more emphasis on the comedy, it would be fine. Right now, it's like the show is right in between being serious and being comedy so it feels awkward.Stark700 said: I agree with you except the tone IMO is semi serious for example the fight and Shizuku stopping him was serious and the punch looked serious too as it was shown to hit her.

| This is WAY better than I was anticipating. Haruka Tomatsu sounds much better as a not-tsundere (I'm looking at you, bitch from SAO). Will be following this show fo sho. |

| Ah I love this already! Reminds me of Kaichou wa Maid-sama in a way. Can't wait for the next episode |
| She's like Maka (Soul Eater) & Taiga (Toradora) combined XD |

It was after that it become less so and moved to comedy/drama.That's the best I can make sense of it. The three of you hit the point: combining violence and comedy is dangerous and can potentially irate the viewer. What particularly annoyed me (very well explained in the GAR GAR STEGASAROUS blog) was the series' take on comedy using a specific type of violence, sexual assault/aggression. In this episode, we see the series take a light note of all the instances one can label sexual assault. Notice the background music during Haru's first assault on Shiziku, the now infamous alleyway "rape" scene, the undressing scene in response to Shiziku's going to the gym, and the kiss scene. Whereas during normal dialogues, the background music stays silent, these scenes exhibit jovial background music to direct the audience to the comic nature of the scene. This episode repeatedly relies on violence to provide comic relief for the audience. Thus, I was actually cheering for Shiziku when Haru elbowed her. She was sick with Haru's antics and decided to put a lid on his misperceived relationship with her. I don't have a problem with developing Haru from his primal state of social ineptness, but I do have a problem with the series (at least in this episode) outsourcing its comedy to violence. |
| It's really amazing!! it made my day ≧◡≦i didn't even blink my eyes while watching it.. :D(okay i did blink) the art IT'S COLORFUL!!!! ureshi≧◡≦ureshi≧◡≦ureshi... |
 |
| I agree that it's pretty rushed. Yet it's good for the first episode. Although I think it's nothing like the manga. |
 |
| It felt really rushed but I loved it. I am in love with this show. Everything about it. |
 |
| I loved the first episode so many lolz. The funniest part for me is when her bf clothes came off and then everybody just beat his ass. |

| Haruka sounds good as a tsundere too~! :O But the way she voiced Asuna wasn't the way she voiced other tsundere characters she handled... so Asuna isn't really considered tsundere I guess... |
