All we know is that she really likes the school. And even though she repeats it a lot in episode 1, I think it will have meaning later on in future episodes.
But Nagisa is a character that is shrouded in mystery. In the end of episode 1, she was completely a different person while talking to Tomoya. She has a really caring and interesting family. They really get along so well and I don't think they ever had any fights within Nagisa's household. Although she hasn't got any close friends and the only friend that she has is Tomoya, it seems that she doesn't interact with others in the school. So far, we haven't seen Nagisa talk to either Kyou or Tomoyo, who seems to have more screen time with Tomoya than Nagisa herself.
Concerning the opening sequence with Nagisa laying on a snowy ground and the alternate dimension girl, both look like they could be connected somehow and will certainly play an important role later on in the show.
I like Nagisa's character though. She seems spacey and tries her best to do things at school.

I like Nagisa too. A kind, shy soul who seems to have a chronic illness that prevented her from graduating with her friends and having a tough time making new friends.

I wonder if she really had true friends or casual acquaintances from her previous class.

Her family are nuts :), but that's why I love them. Especially her father, cool, funny guy

Why the neglect for Nagisa here?? I thought that her quiet and shy nature is what would attract some guys to her...

I like Nagisa. She seems a bit slow at times but in the end her passion for certain things is what makes her interesting to watch.

Me likes Nagisa-chan. She reminds me of...well, me!:)

Nagisa may be shy, but she is cute and very very determined to get the theatre club up and running again. Hopefully she will make lots of friends through the theatre club....

The only gripe I have about Nagisa is her hair. She looks like a cockroach >.<. They need to cut the two ahoge off.

It's probably just you, I see it as a pair of antennas. No doubt she inherited from her dad and mom, who also come with it. :D

But I like Nagisa the way she is.

nagisa is kool just so quiet but i guess thats her character

shes funy and i feel sori for her repeating a yr and being left behind T.T

lol I feel that it adds to her moe-ness. As Kinny said before me, I like her just the way she is.

And oh, her School Life arc will warm your heart. It really touched me.

LOL if she's a cockroach then she's the cutest cockroach I've ever seen...

LOL yup! i agree with ya! :D

nagisa is a kind of cockroach who likes to eat other kinds of bread which is really rare for a cockroach:heh:

She is so adorable!!! My fav character :)

I wonder why she's not a lot of other people's favorites.

Probably because of the fact that she has been there episode in and episode out, so she has really become somewhat like a background in the story. The other characters are also VERY likeable as well.

Because it's boring to make the main lead your favourite. She's going to get taken by Ozaki anyhow. :heh: She is an awesome lead though. ^^

'Make' the lead your favorite ? Somehow i doubt one actually gets to 'decide' which character he ends up liking the most, lead or not :eyespin:

As for me, it might well be Nagisa from the current cast, a tad outclassed by Ryou. Her reactions in episode 5 were absurdly cute as well :) I am worried about the weak body issue though - those usually end up badly.

I suppose so, and yeah I guess she is what kicked off the whole series anyways =/. Well, soft of.

Agreed. But later in the series, I'm sure that more people will warm up to her. Though my favorite will still be Kotomi.
