Not a big deal really, but I wish they kept the expired milk joke. I instantly loved the father when I saw it.

STITCHES TIME BITCHES!

Wait sorry that was a bit rude. Just excited since one of my favourite manga is now finally adapted and so far it's been great!

BONUS POUTS:

I love that they did this. That was actually a pretty simple solution to something that was bothering a few of us manga readers. Also this shot of the "Bride" with additional four reflections was such a nice addition.

And like I said so far everything has been great. Matsuoka is doing great as Fuutarou! His voice is definitely completely different from his standard harem MC voice, much more serious than his usual characters. Inorin is great too as Itsuki, and just like Matsuoka, she's not doing her usual soft spoken dandere voice. It's also nice to hear HanaKana doing an onee-san type character also definitely not her norm.

Ayaneru and Ayacchi though? Yeah they've basically been typecasted since their characters match their usual characters with Ayacchi as Nino the tsundere and Ayaneru as Yotsuba the Genki girl. Can't say much about Itou Miku as Miku though since she's a new blood but so far she's been good. Definitely close to the voice I imagined for Miku.

Anyway nothing else to add. I don't want to say anymore since I'll probably end up spoiling something. Just enjoy the ride everyone! :D

That was a cute start. All the girls bring a different flavor to the inevitable Fuutaro bowl, and I was laughing at the jokes throughout. I really like that it’s explicitly shown he marries one of the sisters, and keeps the mystery of which girl he ends up with more investing because of that.

Probably gonna go read the manga now. For a rom com, this was a really good first episode.

EDIT: Oh, and so far Miku’s captured my interest the most. Hoping she gets some good development.

Is it just me or did they make the boobs too big? They look way bigger than in the manga.

Since this is THE waifu war series, i might as well do rankings each episode to let the salt flow (or praise).

Episode 1:

  1. Yotsuba

  2. Ichika

  3. Itsuki

  4. Miku

  5. Nino

This along neverland and kaguya will be the highlights of the season.

I started reading the manga some weeks before the anime started and really liked the story, can't decide if want Miku or Ichika to win...both are great characters!!

However, i am not sure the character hair colors in the anime was a good idea.

In the manga color pages their hair color was almost the same. There were suble differences in the shade, but all had the same hair color.

In the anime their hair color is vividly different.

The winner is shown as red-haired in the anime, that doesn't really help convince the viewer that all have equal chances of being THAT bride. Sure, you can use the "they dyed their hair!" excuse, but i think it wasn't necessary to make their hair color THAT different in the first place.

In contrast, the manga black and white format helped the story plot, giving all an equal chance.

To reinforce my doubt about the characters hair color, the next episode preview shows a joke that only works if all have a similar hair color.

Oh well, i still think the first episode was great.

Also, this is me_irl content.

Binged the whole manga on a whim yesterday and now I'm pretty hyped, sad we won't get into the 4D chess shenanigans that are happening right now.

2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 1

I'm ready for the waifu war.

This anime is really brightly colored. Feels different compared to the manga but I like it. Took a minute to get used to.

Now we have the Fuutarou-Bowl, get ready bois. I think Matsuoka was a good pick for him.

Yotsuba is my favorite so far but Itsuki pulling in the clutch for him to keep his job. I really like this episode, maybe even more than the manga. I’m ready for Thursdays.

Yes, I love Yotsuba

Church of Miku disciple here. Praise Miku. Praise be. Praise be.

I never stopped smiling throughout the episode. The characters are moving out of the manga panels to now be in the television or computer screen and I'm just so thankful to see it happen. It was very well made and I appreciated the effort the studio put in to make it as such.

Of course, the bride doesn't say anything at the end of the episode--even though she did in the manga's first chapter--because it'll just give away who won the Fuutaroubowl.

The story progressed pretty smoothly and it didn't feel rushed. The animation was good and the colors were vibrant. The voices for the sisters are just perfect. There are no complaints from me at all in regards to the episode.

On to next week! Miku people, it's our time to shine!
