So... uh... it's probably because I watched Kimi no Todoke's stellar first episode before this, but as a viewer who knows next to nothing about the story I felt it was just above average. It just felt like as a first episode it just dumped me in the middle of an already ongoing story which leads me rather confused about all the goings on, given the scene at the start and the rest of the episode. I hope of course the show explains everything and gives some backstory since it seems like it starts in the middle rather than a more traditional "beginning."
Also, the middle felt a bit melodramatic. Not that I hate melodrama, as I love it in certain forms, but I think I almost rolled my eyes during the library scene.
