Dunno what to expect from this show, especially the ending scene. I feel bad for Mitsuo, nobody's taking him seriously, he's basically being stalked/harassed -.-

Kouko reminds me of myself.

Jerseykid · 2013-10-05, 21:09

thank goodness some school romance in a normal setting

king12354 · 2013-10-05, 23:13

Although it's evident how Tada is feeling, I would like to see more monologues from him to get a better understanding of how he perceives the people around him. Otherwise, I enjoyed the start and hope the studio can keep it up.

Right down to the stalker part, hm?

But strangely, I can perfectly picture you actually looking and behaving like Kouko. At least over here in Animesuki.

That aside... well... having some exposure to what the source material is, I am pretty satisfied with the start except with some things - I do remember Banri to be much more "animated" (as in has more of a personality), the anime kind of toned not just him, but everyone down. Or maybe it's just an issue of medium transition.

I'll just stick close by and see where this ride takes us. I'm expecting a very exciting fall (pun intended, in various meanings of it) however.

Guys, please don't turn this thread into a topic about other posters; even if you are just joking, this can easily derail threads for pages, which in turn results into lots of deleted posts.

Judging by the opening theme, I think it's safe to assume that Koko will eventually move on from Mitsuo to Banri. Hopefully for Mitsuo's sake his dislike of Koko is as singleminded as he claims it is, because if he has any affection mixed together with that irritation, he'll really kick himself for letting her pass by.

Back to the 2D-version, it looked kind of awful, and the characters are somewhat irritating. As for Sumeragi Kouko, at least Horie Yui tries her best to make her sound likeable.

On a sidenote, is it me or out of all the freshmen only the female leads were not dressed like a wannabe-lawyer

Well, that didn't take long:

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-10-06, 08:09

It's the same with Sakurasou- The Vita game was almost immediately announced.

GOLDEN TIME WILL SAVE THE VITA

It was only for the entrance ceremony. They all dressed like that for their enrollement. See at the preview of the next episode, what are the boys wearing?

With a lot of series becoming VN for the Vita, I am almost getting bitter because now I want the moolahs for it...

Gee whiz, that's going to be a very fun ride for dissidents of main pairings in the original series.

Perhaps this game might end up joining the list of titles that will work on the Vita TV? If so, that may be a cheaper option than plumping for a regular Vita (or the upcoming -2000 model).

If Sony decide to release the Vita TV in more territories, that is.

ThereminVox · 2013-10-06, 08:55

I keep expecting Kouko to mutter to herself "gosh, I must crush it soon."

I enjoyed this one, so I'll be following Golden Time. Surreptitiously following other students in hopes that they'll show me where I'm supposed to be sounds like my freshman year.

I can't imagine why she would have done that.....

Haak · 2013-10-06, 12:34

That wasn't quite as gripping as I thought it would be, mostly because the MC didn't seem very interezting to me, but it's still very promising.

Also: Horie Yui = instant awesome.

She did what? Lol I'd try to cover it up "Do I want to have tex-mex on the grass? Hell yes, I love picnics" haha

Kaoru Chujo · 2013-10-06, 14:09

Here's a characters/seiyuus page for this show, with pics of seven main characters and their seiyuus, and a bit of info about each seiyuu.

And the cast includes not only 37-year-old Horie Yui (Kouko), but also 15-year-old Kido Ibuki (Chinami). Tada Banri is played by 24-year-old Furukawa Makoto, in his first big role. And 20-year-old Ishikawa Kaito (Ledo in Gargantia, Manatsu in RDG) plays Mitsuo -- as well as having roles in three other anime this season.

And we also have Kayano Ai ("Linda"), fresh off her great performance as Lucy in ServantxService. To say nothing of Satou Satomi (Nana-senpai), who really showed something as Eru in Hyouka.

Kouko route all the way

Though considering how I don't own a Vita nor is it likely this game will be released in the west with a translation, I'll just hope someone uploads the game on Youtube and settle for that

LC Shocking Pink Join Date: Dec 2007 Age: 28	Spoiler for Comparison to the novel: A bit of a disappointing adaptation, for me. It seems like Tada's "blander" than he should be? Also, the way they structured it made it seem like it was a harem, though that's far from the truth. Annd the animation was pretty terrible. I'll keep on watching though. __________________ Last edited by relentlessflame; 2013-10-06 at 12:38. Reason: Please place comparisons in spoiler tags
