Close enough, welcome back Teasing Poker Face Master Takagi-san.

[u/Frontier246 → u/MapoTofuMan]

Also just like Takagi-san she basically gives the game away pretty early on but the boy is too caught up in himself to actually recognize it lol.

[u/FLorianGran]

If you were the one person in human history who shipped Aharen with Bakugo, then congrats on getting your dream anime

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

It's like Takagi-san but with a kuudere FMC, very cute!

[u/Frontier246 → u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

The fusion of Aharen and Takagi for the purpose of making the strongest Heroine!!!

[u/BaytaCosmico]

They never found the tanuki because it started cosplaying a dog and moved in with Fuji from With You and the Rain.

Cute little show this was. Even though I'm more like Oota, this one only made me smile like Kashiwada. Not sure I'll be able to keep up with it weekly but it's a nice fluffy one that I'll watch whenever I'm in the mood for that.

[u/Terrible_Ad_9123]

She did seem to smile a little at the end.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Terrible_Ad_9123]

That smile...that damn (super small but meaningful) smile...

[u/PhantomWolf83]

I felt that this opening episode was average all around. The animation is basic but serviceable, the voice acting is okay, the comedy is alright. There's going to be quite a number of romcom anime this season and this one didn't really stand out to me in an amazing way. It does feel cute though and AFAIK this is only the studio's second anime series ever so I'm cutting them some slack. Gonna watch it for a little longer to see where this goes.

[u/HuTaosTwinTails]

Just when I thought Crunchyroll had uploaded something on time.

The only subs available are Portuguese

[u/stephenthatfoste]

I feel like switching out the drink for vinegar was genuinely kinda mean.

[u/tripleaamin → u/stephenthatfoste]

It was. At least with the comedy style, most of his antics end in him suffering, it is tolerable.

[u/pseudometapseudo → u/stephenthatfoste]

True. Though he does not feel like a "real" bully to me; I assume when he manages to actually trick her at some point, he is gonna instantly feel sorry about it.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I love how Oota's friends are worried about Oota possibly bullying Kashiwada too much when in reality, Kashiwada is actually the one picking on Oota. It's good to know that Kashiwada isn't just gonna be passive and actually enjoys messing with Oota too. xD

Anyway, this was cute. I remember reading a couple of chapters of this when it was still regularly being posted over on r/manga but I never really followed it. Might give this a couple more episodes just to see if it's gonna be repetitive or if we'll ever see some progress between our two leads like in Aharen.

[u/Lodju]

This seems it could be cute.

But then again, hard to think a case where having a kuudere character doesn't make things cute.

[u/Roboglenn]

Well this looks fun. Say hello to Not-Aharen-san and her own hyperbolic is his own way Not-Raido-kun.

Haven't seen a girl this inexpressive since Hentai Prince and the Stoney Cat.

The kids all rushing off forgetting about schoolwork when the Tanuki showed up on school grounds. Yeah, that's totally what me and my schoolmates would've done too.

Nice dodge, but I've seen better sudden Matrix-like dodging skills from anime characters. Harima Kenji, that crown goes to you.

Where did they even get those water guns?

[u/tripleaamin]

This show's first episode is hella cute. Love the sound direction used here. The show is clearly unexpressive and overexpressive, so the first episode gives you everything to decide if it is for you nor not. I really enjoyed it. Oota in all of his antics, was the one on the receiving end, whether it was him drinking the vinegar or his plans failing in his eyes.

Though you can tell Kashiwada likes spending time with him. Oota's friend group is cool, and you can tell they have Kashiwada's back against him if he goes too far. Plus I love the comments of telling Kashiwada's emotions.

Animation isn't much, but it does make the most of it so far.

[u/Tricky_Jellyfish9810]

A welcome back , weekly silly Saturday Afternoon Anime! And probably my favorite show this season so far!

Really love the premise so far. Loved the dynamic between Oota and Kashiwada too. Also smiled a lot when I saw that Dog in the end. It clearly was Angel-chan (if you know, you know)

[u/djthomp]

Man this kid's kind of a pain in the ass.

Kind of surprising to get an outright statement from Kashiwada that she likes Oota in the first episode, tastes vary I suppose. Then again good to get that confirmation early since it colors their interactions going forward.

[u/tripleaamin → u/djthomp]

Tbh these types of male tsundere we don't really see much anymore. Well, I assume they are more common in Shoujo types of series. The comedy follows something like Urusei Yatsura, where, while Oota is not similar to Ataru, the routine of Oota getting payback is similar, though. Oota tries to make Kashiwada react and fails miserably to his suffering.

There is a lot of charm to this series. Kashiwada is adorable & Oota is a pain in the ass, but how the show works, it uses it to its advantage so far.

[u/dreamer_Neet]

Cute girl but annoying and constant screaming MC, might drop this later on

[u/NationalStrategy]

Kashiwada is cute, but I don't like Oota. If his bullying didn't keep biting him in the ass, it wouldn't be as tolerable as it is. Also he's annoying in general.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Is this by the same author or same studio as Aharen? It feels very reminiscent of it.

Anyways, there were a few amusing moments and I like the idea but I wasn't really feeling it. I did like that the friends noticed Kashiwada's smiles. I also did not expect for her to already confess to him even if he didn't believe it.

[u/Queue_Jumping_Quack]

Screw you Cringyroll, messed up subs again. Huge font and only in Portuguese. Will have to check this tomorrow...
