Who funded this show, the Ramen Marketing Board?

I'd hope there might be a bit more actual story in future episodes, because the format of the first episode might have worked better as individual shorts rather than three vignettes where each one has Koizumi eating some type of ramen, while being stalked and pestered by Yuu.

What a passionate ramen lover!

I think the first epsiode was fun with a main character like Koizumi. Would like to know more about her besides the love for ramen. The humor was done well imo with the character expressions.

Come for the noodles.

stay for the yuri.

Got about two-thirds thru the 1st episode and gave up.

Koizumi-san is not a "mysterious and attractive high school student" (as the promo blurbs state), but an average-looking, stuck-up tsundere who deserves to be friendless for the rest of her life. More than half-way through the premier episode and not a shred of evidence of Koizumi-san having any positive or redeeming qualities that would lure me back for a second helping (or even finish the first one).

Not my cup of tea (or bowl of ramen, if you prefer).

I love ramen and anime, but together it feels wrong. Not fan of the first episode.

Spoiler for ep1:

HandofFate · 2018-01-05, 00:46

so what's the stigma with girls not wanting to be seen eating ramen alone?

My hypothesis is that ramen in Japan, while recognized as a rich and respectfully complex dish, remains culturally associated with working men / salaryman, uncivilized ways of eating, and is just generally an "unfashionable" food for girls. Going in a group at least gives the impression that you're here only because of friends and that you don't care that much about the food; going alone implies that you came specifically _for_ the food, and if the food is unfashionable, you must be as well. This is in addition to the vague stigma of eating in any restaurant by yourself.

Anyway, I enjoyed the first episode. I didn't come in expecting much of a story; simply being able to listen to Ayaneru and Taketatsu talk about ramen and getting some decent humor along the way is enough for me.

ScrewySquirrel · 2018-01-06, 02:23

Is it just me, or is anyone else picturing Koizumi, Naruto, and Croix having a Ramen argument?

Liddo-kun · 2018-01-06, 06:23

Got hungry watching the first episode.... ahhh! need to eat some ramen.

Enjoyed Isekai Shokudou... so gonna enjoy this one too. ^^

Fnights · 2018-01-07, 16:01

Was cute and fun, will follow for now, after Blend S i need another silly comedy.

SeijiSensei · 2018-01-08, 16:34

Little in this show was compelling enough to make me add it to my list for this season. And like others, I found Koizumi-san an intensely unlikable character.

Stark700 · 2018-01-11, 10:09

Hot spicy ramen!
That was a sensational episode this week.

Verso Sciolto · 2018-01-11, 22:34

Koizumi-san, a person, a character, who looks genuinely comfortable solo. I sincerely hope she'll be allowed to continue eating ramen by herself too.

[Ramen and series comparison. Chizuru from Kimi ni Todoke comes to mind but while Tampopo is live action that film remains the first immediate association and simply needs a mention whenever ramen stories come up.]

alex_drian · 2018-01-14, 22:05

Dropped, of the CDGCT shows of this season, I rate this on the buttom. Both MC have good and bad features. Yuu is faithful to her character but I found it over the mile. Koizumi at first sight unlikeable but I can understand the desire of eating alone with someone stalked and pestered her. I feel that they don't work together even if the anime takes the route of befriend Koizumi. A pity because the OP is excellent and I liked a lot the design of Yuu.

Btw, the designer of character of this anime has worked in H-stuff? because the design of Koizumi and even his bliss expressions remember me of certain author of H-doujins of very dark stuff.

A last thing. Why the CGDCT show of beer don't have a thread?

inisipis · 2018-01-16, 04:19

Very funny show. Love them spicy ramen. This is the gem that most viewers don't take notice to. It's funny how Koizumi developed different and independent relationships with the three girls.

Liddo-kun · 2018-01-16, 06:11

Watched episode 2:

Always getting hungry when watching this show... hmm, so Koizumi is not good with spicy stuff, but still eats it. Did she go into the shop in her school unfirom because a student gets something extra?

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: Putting aside the obnoxious protagonist that supposedly should be forgiven because she occasionally makes cute faces when she eats certain foods... ...Why did they not make this 12 minutes instead? Nothing to really compliment about the episode. And I'd suggest something like Ramen Fighter Miki instead. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
