I think they're leaving out several parts of the novel, but maybe they want to finish the anime at vol 4/5, so it's normal ... perhaps they could show more how Julie had trouble interacting with others ... OP and ED are willing me a lot !

Yeah, they probably could have shown more of that. But at the same time I think they got the point across enough that Julie really didn't have many options and wasn't that close to more than a couple people.

Will say the adorableness of Julie will help carry this show no matter how the story unfolds

Out of all the harem/ecchi genre shows this season, I have the highest hopes for this one.

Solid OP. It was really cool. The concept in it is interesting too. If they play their cards right, we'll have an interesting show on our hands. The comedy was good too. 3/5 for the episode. Looking forward to next week.

Also, the MC is capable and understanding. They make a great OTP, compared to so many other anime nowadays that you just have to face-palm on why they are deserving as main characters.

This show is not for everyone, but it is entertaining enough.

I don't know about OTP, since she papa-zoned him and he's a meat lover.

LOL After that oath they made together, they are essentially married now.

Sure there are differences, but I'm sure they'll work through them as any couple would.

Yeah, and on the positive she already considers him family then

. Just take some time to get through the father zone and he's fine.

Marcus H. · 2015-01-13, 03:37

Whoever wrote that oath should have made that on a deadline.

Holy cow, that sounded like a wedding vow.

Viole1369 · 2015-01-13, 08:00

Julie ,Tachibana and Childhood Friend is the best part of show, Its watchable tho I'm enjoying Fafnir and World break more,Bun-Bun(rito) is one of most annoying chars I saw this season.

Traece · 2015-01-13, 11:37

This is the worst harem I've ever seen.

People solve misunderstandings through discussion and maturity.
All of the waifus are actually really nice.
Main waifu has an atypical personality for a harem lead.
MC is a genuinely nice guy and isn't oblivious to everything around him.
Harem tropes feel tacked on for the sake of necessity.

It's like I'm watching a not-harem show pretending to be a harem show.

Ja, this show is actually pretty good thus far. It skirts around your expectations (except ecchi, which is rampant).

Vaans · 2015-01-13, 11:40

That oath sounded more like a marriage vow.

If Tooru and Taro do that, it would be embarrassing.

RDNexus · 2015-01-13, 11:55

I'm actually liking the way they're going roundabout the harem troupe and making the characters more realistic personality-wise... In a way...
I've come to get disgusted over the typical harem tropes and character roles, too stupid, too forced, too fanservice-wise...

~Yami~ · 2015-01-13, 17:56

I never think Absolute Duo as harem show though
it is little obvious from the start that the contender might be the first girl that got "out" and Julie

well, it might be different if random imouto suddenly pop out

Ghiest Cid · 2015-01-13, 18:09

Definitely a wedding vow. Just hope it is not like modern marriage which can easily be broken.
All characters are likable and there is a balance among things.

supermegasonic · 2015-01-13, 23:33

this show is weirdly interesting and so far its been a good experience, even when it has the most generic stuff combined to it.

Flower · 2015-01-14, 01:26

Ep 02

Hmm ... the ep took some twists I was not expecting, and even though the occasional cliche misunderstandings and ecchi content was beyond facepalmworthy it has some decent aspects to it, I guess?

I have a feeling this will be decent but forgettable after everything is over, but for now I will give next ep a try as well....

chaos_animagic · 2015-01-14, 18:03

still loving the bunny-teach, so cute and funny, LOL

also... that vow... and they're living in same room... *imagine the H ver...* my mind is broke.

James Rye · 2015-01-14, 19:16

I dunno, after two episodes I still in a "hmmm" mode. ^^;
Gonna watch the third one next week to see if perhaps the mock battles can change my mind.

HandofFate · 2015-01-14, 23:25

The episode has some interesting angles of shots.

Storywise, I don't think I be expecting much more than what Unbreakable Machine Doll offered

GDB · 2015-01-14, 23:32

Poor guy doing the main character's voice seems to have been typecast into the "caretaker" role. First Sakurasou and now here.

Wild Goose · 2015-01-14, 23:35

So far after 2 eps I like this show, and it's got a certain charm to it.

Also I like how Julie isnt TSUNDERING II: TSUN HARDER. I like tsunderes, but sometimes the antics get a bit much.
