Plot Summary:

Quote:

Hori is your average teenage girl... who has a side she wants no one else to ever find out about. Then there's her classmate Miyamura, your average glasses-wearing boy in school and a totally different person out. When the two meet unexpectedly, they discover each others' secrets and develop an unexpected friendship.

Looks like Horimiya is getting a TV anime adaptation, coming for January (Winter) 2021.

Horimiya! A romcom about never judging by first appearances and that's so straightforward the shortened title is basically the leads' portmanteau couple name

.

The Opening is pretty creative visually, while the theme feels appropriate for a beautiful and fun high school romance series

.

I wasn't expecting to hear Kenjiro Tsuda as a hot teacher who I'm kind of concerned about near high school girls and casually makes rude comments towards them, but okay

.

Hori! A popular, easygoing, high school girl who secretly focuses on taking care of the house and her cute little brother while her mom is at work and dresses much more plainly at home. She's also a lot more brash and fiery than she lets on, but she's still a sweet and super cute girl, as perfectly embodied by the lovely Haruka Tomatsu

.

Miyamura! At first glance a gloomy, unsociable, otaku but in reality is just a normal, personable, kind of spontaneous dork who is pretty good looking in casual mode. It's nice to hear Kouki Uchiyama subvert his usual typecast as dead inside male leads to play someone as likeable and lively as the real Miyamura

.

Nothing brings two people together quite like getting to spend time together as their "real" selves and not needing to put up an act around someone. Just two people being themselves and getting more and more comfortable around each other

.

I thought Miyamura looked kind of hot during that egg time running sequence, so no wonder Yuki was pretty bewildered by it

.

Ishikawa and Miyamura bond in-spite of themselves and Ishikawa being self-conscious about Miyamura being close to Hori since he's crushing on her. They really come off as two idiots not knowing what to do with each other, which makes for a fun pair

.

Poor Ishikawa...he gets rejected by Hori, and her main emotional takeaway from his confession was what Miyamura thought of her and their relationship, not how Ishikawa felt about her. Not even Miyamura thinks he and Ishikawa would be a good couple

.

The Ending of CG doll Hori spending time with Miyamura was surprisingly really cute and romantic

.

I remember reading the manga a long time ago (I remember so little about it.), I was looking foward to this and I'm very happy with this chapter.

I think this is going to be one of my favorites this season.

Kanon · 2021-01-09, 19:46

I never touched the manga, was the pacing this fast in it? Usually, the first episode of that kind of show would end with Hori bumping on the "real" Miyamura on the street. Instead, they found out each other's secrets and are already BFFs and on the verge of becoming lovers after just one episode. Miyamura comes to her house every day and they even eat dinner together, at this rate I'm expecting them to get married next week!

Miyamura is kind of a huge airhead, isn't he? What was he thinking, getting those tattoos? He should have known it would get him in trouble. And it's not like he's actually looking for trouble, he tries to be as inconspicuous as possible at school.

Kind of. I do think the pacing was a little faster than I remember. But mostly, yeah.

Hori already has her housewife mode down to pat

.

(I'm oddly reminded of Natsuki from Honeyworks now).

It definitely seems like the tats were a spur of the moment thing that he didn't think through.

I have heard of the Horimiya hype when this was greenlit, and I finally understand why so many people anticipate this series. Great dialogue, lively animation and a colorful cast.

This quickly ascends to the top of my seasonal rankings for Winter 2021.

The first episode adapted the first three chapters. A bit much, but not like a huge amount or anything.

Wandering Soul · 2021-01-09, 22:33

The first episode covered more ground than I thought it would, but it still didn't feel too rushed though.

Guardian Enzo · 2021-01-09, 23:16

With only 13 eps to work with that's the sort of pacing we can expect. I don't think it impacted things in a negative way, but it does sadden me that we're only going to get the introduction, basically. I know some readers rip on what comes after but I think it's great.

Most manga adaptions usually go for 1-2 chapters per episode (from my estimate) but I can see what they probably want to get to by the end of the cour.

If it does well enough, there's always the possibility of a season 2

Thor's Hammer · 2021-01-10, 02:33

I found the leads very likeable, and the first episode was a nice introduction for some of the characters. Hori and Miyamura appreciating each other for who they are from the very beginning is nice. Toru is also not a bad guy and is very open and direct and kind of a bro.

Kaoru Chujo · 2021-01-10, 03:25

I was looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint. Good design. Good writing. Good voices (Tomatsu Haruka and Uchiyama Kouki). Good pacing for 13 eps. Flowed nicely.

Director Ishihama Makoto seems to be a long-time key animator and animation director directing his first full show. Long-time writer Yoshioka Takao was lead writer on both DearS and Elfen Lied early in his career, so I guess he can do anything, lol. He did a good job with this show, too.

I liked the voice of the kid brother. Turns out to be Terasaki Yuka, who's 37 and was in Crayon Shin-chan in the 90s. She's been doing a lot recently, including a bit part in Arte, a show I liked last year.

Spoiler: We got a lot of character expressions that showed the personality of the cast. Hori in particular was fun to watch and this serves as an introductory episode. The light comedy is there but it's going to take some time for the actual characters to develop from the story. That ED song caught me off guard though, quite unique imo. Definitely one of the more memorable ones compared to other shows. __________________

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: Ohh, this was actually pretty fun to watch. One of those stories with a multiple males and females and their relationship chart is a whole bunch of arrows crossing each other-thingy? Maybe kinda Kare-Kano? They are almost already in a relationship in the first episode, so wow, how are they gonna go from here, other than just have a bunch of misunderstandings that just delays the inevitable? This manga was originally drawn in 2007, so yeah, leave it up to old manga anime adaptions to be interesting. Oh wait, that's normal, I guess... __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
