The title says it all

So someone decided to make yet another Anime out of yet another Manga. It's kinda cute, interesting, specially for the Satori factor.

EDIT: Let's at least include the MAL page, too.

Ooh, this looks interesting. A bit upset they went with the 'perverted idiot' archetype for a male lead which has been done to death and back, but the concept seems interesting enough that I'll still have to follow this one.

We really should be doing this series more justice than this. It's not really fair to say "perverted idiot lead lol". Let's back up here.

First of all, we start with our Kotoura-san, a girl blessed with a curse - she can hear thoughts as if they were spoken. This leads to a miserable childhood of realizing even her own parents are liars, and no one wants to play with a kid who can hear what you're thinking. The first half of the episode breaks your heart, and then, she starts at a new school.

This is where we meet the male lead. He's carefree, but not stupid. The whole extent of his "perverted" nature is when he fantasizes about kissing Kotoura, and this was likely a ploy just to keep her from walking away. Kissing. That's it. No skirt flipping, no boob squeezing. A kiss.

Another way he's not so easily reduced is the fact that he accepts this girl on her own terms, and she accepts him because what he thinks and what he says seem to more or less match up.

I'm really curious to see how this series goes. It's one of only three I'm currently following this season.

So then does this mean Haruka has a sister than can manipulate people's subconscious?

Oh god please tell me she has a sister like that

Oh but I might used "Satori" as a Youkai species not a character name >.> (As far as the first episode goes she does not... at least for now)

Saw the first episode in club and I'm impressed so far. I'll be keeping up with this one.

Gpop · « **Reply #7 on:** January 17, 2013, 05:58:54 AM »

Okay so I actually watched the first episode and...somehow I think I can get hooked to this, so I'm gonna follow this anime :V

Hooray for not watching anime since Nichijou :V

Prody · « **Reply #8 on:** January 17, 2013, 06:11:48 AM »

Fun fact! This show is the most popular show on Nico Channel this season, with the first episode reaching 500k views.

Why is the thread title not Komeiji-san? I'm disappoint

I'm also following this, but I hope it will have a little bit of everything instead of just comedy/healing from now on.

Welp, finally had a chance to actually watch the first episode(watching the second now), and yup, DEFINITELY gonna follow this series. That first half of the first episode though...Ow, my heartstrings.

Edit: Just watched Ep 2. This show's going to be full of heartwrenching and heartwarming, isn't it? Also Kotoura is sickeningly adorable. Is that gonna be a trend this season with female leads? Also,

OK, so maybe he is an eensy bit perverted after all.

I can't get over the show's very dark theme. Moments of actual tenderness are momentary; but

Spoiler:

I can't help but imagine that Manabe has got to have some kind of serious issues, buried deep down beneath the weight of constant sexual fantasies. He just can't be the only normal one, can he?

But it's because of this otherwise grim existence that the brief moments of simple human kindness are all the more touching. The world is a sick, cruel place; people got to stick together.

This, Sasami-san at Ganbaranai, and Mondaijitachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu are the 3 animes I'm going to be following this season.

Episode 2 was just sad. That's all I can say.

Gpop · « **Reply #13 on:** January 18, 2013, 03:56:20 AM »

Man this anime, as depressing as some parts are, I can really start digging the connection between Kotoura-san and Manabe, I mean,

No, I saw this... and that's how I learned about this anime >.>

Also it seems the more I watch this, the more I am like... WHAT?

Gpop · « **Reply #17 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:16:26 AM »

Kotoura-saaaaan ;____;

I really wish bad things stop happening around her, I just want it all to already have a good ending between her and Manabe.

Spoiler:

That's my prediction of the next episode, it's expected I would say.

Also, I can see where this is gonna go now. They try to find Haruka and while doing so Moriya will join in due to regret of how she treated the two. After they find her she will probably go into some kind of breakdown again and ask for forgiveness, which Haruka will obviously give because she's a nice girl like that, and all will be good again :V ~~and then Haruka finally admits her feelings....please? ;_;~~

That's my prediction of the next episode, it's expected I would say.

So I'm just here to say I called it yup. Well not exactly everything that happened but basically the gist of it, I knew it :V

Despite how predictable it is, I still really enjoy the comedy a lot.

Spoiler:

All in all, amazing episode, just disappointed in one part.

EDIT: Woop woop episode 5.
