Kisa1208 said: I’m curious if they did that to link the two tattoo scenes. Because he shows Hori his tattoos at the beginning of chapter 2, then chapter 3 is the interactions with Tooru. Hopefully we’ll get the rest of chapter 2 next episode. I hope it gets in, It's important to understand Hori position. |
| Seeing the first episode was pure nostalgia. I mean i have read the manga so many times that i think i have to buy new books. Hope the show is fantastic to the end. |
 |
| I really forgot about the second chapter, but i think it will be adapted in the next episode hopeully |
| Never thought I'd ever see a proper Horimiya adaptation but I was wrong, and couldn't be more happier about it. The visuals are great, could see Cloverworks are putting their honest efforts in the show. They cut most of the chapter 2 but great episode nonetheless |
| i've been reading the manga for around a yer now so i kept screaming every time because it was so cute T^T it's finally getting fully adapted i'm so happy (the part focusing on main couple) both the vas did so well - everything looks good to me ;u; |

| horimiya is here! beautiful fist episode T⌣T at first i felt the pace a bit fast, but since nothing important was cuted (even there's a scene added) its feels ok. i guees its to get to adapt a good part of the work in only 13 episodes. even Shuu already appeared lol i liked the OVAs but this version promises highly superior. the seiyuus work is beautiful! love each dialogue and they served a very good character intro. OST, visuals, the OP are great to me. the ED doesnt seem like a big deal but its cute |
| Ah yes. Really good start. New season is coming in hot! |
 |
| A great first episode! Loved the animation and characters, and looking forward to more interactions with more of the cast as the series progresses :D |
 |
| Absolutely beautiful, even better than I had hoped! 6/5 |

| I smiled the entire time while watching it! It felt so perfect watching one of my favourite manga come to life! |
 |
| What an amazing first episode! I already know I’m gonna love this anime. I gave the manga a try and never caught on after the first chapter but wow I love that the first episode of the anime completely changed my mind! Heck can’t wait for the next eps! The characters are already all precious as it is. Protect them!! And what a cute ED! I look forward to my weekly dose of serotonin! |
| I really enjoyed it! OP and ED are so good and I'm in love with the artstyle. Definitely looking forward to the next episodes! |
 |
| The pacing feels weird, and the post is pretty much nonexistent..I'm kind of disappointed |

| great start to this one. and its nice that this version explains how Miyamura and Hori started their “acquaintanceship” for the anime-only folks that only saw the original miniseries |
Ashhk said: Short_Circut said: It's because of what happened at the end with the confession and the other blond girl, I thought there will be a love polygon but if it's not the case then I'm reassured nah there ain't no polygon going on......well not with the characters you're thinking about the blond girl was actually a plot point that I think is gonna be in the next ep? but the confession is there and done now. he gets a new ship anyway :P |

| Great episode, it's nice to see all of these characters finally brought to life. Love the art style too, it follows the manga's almost perfectly. Although it's been years since I've read the manga, it seemed a bit fast-paced. It's not too bad though and it's refreshing to see everything sorted out so quickly when they would usually be dragged on as huge misunderstandings in other romance shows. One big thing I don't like is the usual trope where the girl hits the guy just because she's embarrassed or mad...it's really annoying and it's not funny. And it's kind of weird to see all of these characters with weird-colored hairstyles (Tooru's is purple, Souta's is gray, etc.), it's really throwing me off cause I've been imagining them with natural hair colors the whole time while reading the manga lol. Still, overall liked the episode though and I'm excited for the rest of the episodes. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Thanks God for I'm alive. I've waited this for so long!!! So, the animation is not thaaat astonishing as I expected it to be, but OK. Hope CloverWorks do a good job here. |
 |
| This is going wayyyy too quick. From pciking up her phone to casually just hanging out at her house everyday in the matter of 5 minutes? I don't know if they are just speedrunning the manga but at this rate the character interactions feel unnatural. I guess I'll just start the manga tonight. |
 |
| Amazing, simply amazing. It's so faithful so far and they package the first episode so perfectly, it's a perfect pacing. The animation is smooth too, and the artstyle is just as good as the manga. The opening suited this series so much both in term of the music and the sequences. The ED is unique and the song is good too. Bakamura will never tire me, this couple is so wholesome and funny, one of the best couple I've ever witness, in the manga there's only wholesome moments and looks like the anime will be faithful through all that. Tl;dr : If it stays faithful it's easily will be AOTY. No debate. |
 |
| FINALLY! As a manga reader I think the anime is good as the manga maybe even better lots of Funny moments The opening is pretty good The ending credits animation was interesting All in all 5/5 |
| Ahh the old portion of Horimiya. I missed this in a sense, since I loved Horimiya for the first 40 chapters while I've been bored by it for the next like 80+ after it got too stagnant. Getting to experience that old portion again feels nostalgic, and to experience it in anime form is something else. 2018 me would be eating this anime up good. Or that's what I would love to say, but unfortunately this episode was a real mixed bag for me. I love the character designs, the voice acting, and the characters Hori and Miyamura are nice. But the pacing feels really fast and the show feels poorly directed with scenes feeling like they're missing the impact and mark with their punch lines as stuff just happens out of nowhere so quickly and they kept on using similar kinds of shots over and over again with the white background and the colored shadows, like many, many times. The character designs looked good but the directing's not good as a whole which underwhelmed me a lot. I liked the characters and I was never bored, but the delivery was rough, which I never expected based on the PVs I saw. Not a bad premiere for the entertainment side, but mediocre overall, especially considering what it could have been with proper pacing and more inspired directing choices. |
| Cute af, the mcs are very likeable and I love seeing them interact. I feel it's a bit fast paced though, idk if that's true or not in the manga but here it seems like too much is happening too quickly. Or maybe I am saying this because I am used to other romance anime where the progression is slower. But I feel like parts of their interactions were glossed over, idk if that was a writing choice or not tho. For example the montage of Miya's likes/dislikes. Or how we went from one interaction to him casually hanging in Hori's house every day. Regardless, I want to see their friendship/relationship in the upcoming episodes. It's great that Miya is friendly with Toru instead of seeing the cliche rivalry too! |
| I am impressed, if there's one show that instantly managed to grab my attention, it was Horimiya. The artstyle is phenomenal and so far the characters look to be great. Hori is really cute and she seems to be a hard worker at home, while having excellent grades. Miyamura's "second" appearence surprised me. When he first appeared on screen like that, I didn't take notice up until the point he (re)introduced himself to Hori. Incredible! Hori was so adorable repeating baka so many times! That's a really unique ED though, loved that! Really curious to see what this show has in store for me, I am going in blind but I only hear great stuff about it. |

| that was good extra details & visual effects they put in there, expecting this to be a great adaptation. |
| Horimiya is finally here T_T I'm crying and shaking rn lmao Miya is voiced by the legend Kouki himself! Bakamura does look very pretty in the anime |
 |
| Very good impression so far, wonderful opening and interesting ending! The music is done by Masaru Yokoyama, you can't go wrong with that. The pacing, however, feels very fast, but it's only the first episode, so let's wait. |
| Best anime this season so far, but it went soo fast. And Miyamura hair when tied up looks beautiful. Will immediately read the rest of the manga when I have more time/ 5/5 |
| The animation and visuals are so good! Props to CloverWorks for this amazing adaptation. Amazing OP, but I still think Kaibutsu by YOASOBI is better... |
 |
| Even now it's still weird to see an anime adaptation of Horimiya, especially because it has been published for more than ten years and it already had a previous adaptation. But oh well, in anime anything it's possible. Watching this first episode continues to surprise me how many fans the manga has, they kind of feel undeserved especially since this first episode has been quite average with almost nothing remarkable. I've always compared this manga to Kare Kano indirectly, and by now I can only thank the anime for helping me to confirm once again that the latter is so much better in any aspect. Leaving that aside, I have always liked Miyamura as a character (my reasons are personal tho), so I hope to be able to know more about his character! |

| Felt so rushed and I didn‘t like how the transition of scenes were handled... Some scenes lack build up and therefore felt too dramatic. It‘s a good adaptation and almost just like the manga I‘d say (identical scenes with little changes in detail and order of events, but they make more sense like that), but is it just me or did the whole thing feel kinda awkward? I really liked the Ishikawa and Miyamura scene on the roof though. The OP was nice too. 3/5 Imo after watching ep 1, Horimiya maybe just hits better as a manga (I recommend reading it till chapter 50 or so, it‘s really cute). It’s just the first episode tho, so I may change my opinion later on. I wanna see how they handle the comedy aspects in future episodes. (Still can‘t get over the fact that the whole Hori family isn‘t blonde though hahaha) |
| If the purple-haired boy isn't bi for Miyamura I will be sincerely disappointed (and also curious as to what role he even plays in the story other than "jealous guy", which doesn't matter much because from that last scene Miyamura and Hori are practically married). |
