Great start! Funny romantic story, great animation and nice street and city views, thats all I like. Only this Netflix pisses me off, they always ruin every production, but I googled they were not involves in productions so why they claim "netflix series" ? This is not their series? They just stream? stupid netlfix company

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

their height difference is killing me in the worst way possible, but overall okay first episode. modern day enemies-to-lovers is always a bit funny to me, i bet the principals had a secret romance back in the day and now that's why they hate eachother, like in that one barbie movie lol there can be no other reason for entire schools to hate eachother like this

I really loved this anime and the Japanese voice actors they chose for all the characters.

But watching the English Dub (which I normally do after watching the original), I was quite disappointed with their choice of English voice actress, for the main character Kaoruko, Waguri.

I enjoyed Inoue, Honoka voice acting performance so much, it was so perfect for Kaoruko, Waguri.

Vann Middlebrooks, Bijou ... I don't know her from anything ... she does not capture Kaoruko, Waguri character from the Japanese versions, and I also don't understand her choices in how to phrase and perform different lines in the show, it just sounds off to me brain.

Anyways, I am going to continue watching the English Dub, hopefully it will sound better later.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Classic romcom tropes so far! Most anime art styles look bland nowadays but at least they can really get into details! It reminds me of Serinuma from “Kiss him, not me” the way she gets more detailed on focus, maybe not as drastic though. Rintaro is a classic brooding guy with an unfriendly face and I don't like the way people treat him already!!! I love how embarrassed “Ms.Waguri” was at her introduction! She is SOOO cute and I totally get her being embarrassed at how many desserts she ate, not every girl enjoys being watched while they eat. ALSO IS THIS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? THIS IS SO CUTE!!! Okay and now we’re immediately thrown into assaulting her what the fuck.

I really enjoy slice of life and romance animes and, because of that, this specific anime was a huge disappointment. From the cringe screams right on the first episode to the extremely rapid pace of bonding between the characters to the fact that everything that is predictable and cheesy, I was really disappointed.
If your looking for a slow paced romantic anime this one is definitely not the one.

Cute show and beautiful visuals, but the sheer number of romance cliches is so off-putting for a first episode. Too corny for me.

At first I knew this anime was gonna go crazy and go down as one of the best romances ever but as soon as I heard clover works was on this I had to watch after its done airing and I have never been so delightful to see Kaoruko

she is so amazingly adorable is honestly crazy how a human manga artist could make such and angel but non the less props to cloverworks for making this show's quality so good

I actually felt like wanting to hit the thugs near the end and its only the first episode...what is wrong with me " - "

Kaoruko has to be protected at all costs also that ending is so beautiful i had my jaw dropped at the quality of it, i am definitely watching it after every episode

Dear lord, this is like the 5000th anime using the same plot about a "misunderstood delinquent who is secretly a pussy".

I'll have to watch a few more episodes to see if this is anything new or more of the same, just highly overrated (nothing new for this site). 3/5 average episode.



Anyway, the voice actress for English dub for the Waguri girl has THE most fakest voice "innocent" ever. It's kinda fucking annoying.


PS: What happened to the cake though?

This review is for the first episode and is written by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the story (light novel/manga or whatever).

It's pointless. The fact that he's tall doesn't change much; only in anime would someone be afraid of someone tall. There are many ways to create a plot where appearance makes an impact, like in Horimiya, but here the simple fact that he's tall is enough (regardless of whether he's in high school).

The romance made no sense at all. Kaoru said he helps and does many things, but this first episode shows nothing, leaving the viewer wondering what she's talking about. And lastly, what irritated me the most was how he treated the delinquents who were literally threatening Kaoru to the point of assaulting her. He simply stepped in front and let them escape?

I know it's fiction, but honestly, either fight back or call the police. The guy just listened to the fight for several minutes without doing anything, and then to lighten the mood they put in a silly animation of them running and the episode ends with Kaoru blushing.

Cliche, simple, no plot, empty information 3/10 because of the animation.
