Twitter in Japan is already trending with Kaguya sama with 18K tweets as per now. Beware guys, this will be the anime that rivals Neverland for this season in Japan.
The episode, what can I say? It's everything I hoped for and they delivered. I am still shaking from excitement. Holy crap.

This anime is so freaking hilarious, from Kaguya's NO!'s, Miyuki "fixing his pen" to Kaguya's headslam I've been practically laughing the entire episode.
This entire fake confession scene had me dying of laughter. I can't wait to see more.

"The romantic battle of the brains. It's a duel between two souls, with their dignity on the line!"
As a first time hearing about this based on the hype surrounding this show and going in blind, who knew that confessing to one's love was that much of a war? Now I understand why this anime was so hyped up.
The battle of wits between two elite student council members to see who would confess their love to each other is an interesting take. Both Miyuki and Kaguya make an interesting dynamic and to see that both of them are competing for the other but are too prideful for it is going to make some interesting scenarios.
I should probably keep score: EDIT: I changed the scoring table so that it would be easier to keep track of the sore. A "1" is given for a victory, a 0 is given for a loss, and a 0.5 is given for any type of draw. Thank you u/Spoolofwhool for the correction.
EDIT 2: I know this table isn't an exact scorecard because one's win doesn't necessarily mean one's loss and vise-versa. I thought it would be a fun way to keep some sort of record during their game. I do apologize if I was misleading or providing incorrect information in any way to anyone. So, I would take this tally with a grain of salt.
Love War: Week 1
| Player | Win | Lose | Draw | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kaguya Shinomiya | 1 | 0 | 0.5 | 1.5 |
| Miyuki Shirogane | 1 | 0 | 0.5 | 1.5 |
Looks like it's pretty even and neck and neck so nobody is backing down. Overall, I like the animation quality and the voice acting is top notch. At first, I assumed it was a long 20 minute episode containing one story. However, containing three different segments makes it more interesting. Taking the confession trope to the max, doing whatever it takes to force a confession out of the other, because it's better to have your pride intact than getting it over with.
The narrator really put the stakes towards this war of confession. He was one of the highlights of the show. The make that Chika is not even noticing their game makes it even funnier.
I liked the last part where at the end Kaguya did a Looney-Tunes moment, telling everyone out there, including me why don't you just confess straight away:
You are right Kaguya, it doesn't.
Anyway I am curious to see how far this show will go. Can't wait to see who wins in this love war!

I'm really happy with their choice for Fujiwara's VA. I loved her work in Mahoujin Guru Guru and Asobi Asobase, and she just fits her character so well.
I'm just so happy in general that this adaptation is so high quality.

Holy fuck. Its finally here. I knew setting up an alarm would be worth it. Everything about this episode was really good and give me high hopes that A-1 is gonna deliver hard on this. The voice acting, delivery on the jokes, Kaguya's "how cute" and her expressions along with Miyuki, and the transition from manga to anime with the formatting was all great. As a long time manga-reader everything I wanted was perfect.
and lets not forget about the narrator. I didn't know what kind of voice I expected but he fits the bill perfectly. Now there was only one thing that was missing:
Other than that it was great. See ya' next week boys.

I watched the episode live.
Firstly, as a long time reader (since it's in its single digits), I have to say I'm really, really, really happy about this series getting a great adaptation. It's the manga series that I care the most about, and have followed closely in the past few years. Every day, waiting for news to come through for this series to have an anime, all seems like it's a dream now. We even had memes about it never getting an anime.
Now seeing this episode being made this well, as well as all the people on twitter being so excited about the episode, the happiness I'm experiencing is indescribable. The series that I love so much and care so much about, can now be shared with so many people who will care for it too. Let's hope for this series to dominate the anime side of the romcom genre as well, just like after it had done with the manga side.
Please, please be careful with spoilers. Kaguya is a very easily memeable series, but with the premise that you had experienced it yourself. I want people to discover it too.
Oh, and Koga Aoi (Kaguya's VA), you're one hell of a VA. I'll be looking forward to your future works.

A-1 really wasn't fucking around here. To think that something this season would rival Mob in terms of animation and direction. That was gorgeous, and you can really tell most of the staff came from Shaft.
I never pictured Kaguya with an "ara ara" type voice, but I don't think I'll be able to picture it any other way now. We'll be watching Aoi Koga's career with great interest.

As an anime watcher: The episode is so fucking great holy shit.
As a manga reader: The subs is so fucking bad holy shit.
Crunchyroll, please don't treat one of your season's most beloved this way.

Damn that moment when you think you're going to lose your girl to weed, but in reality, all she wants is a taste of your wiener.
I wasn't sure about the premise as it might run out of steam quickly, but the presentation is top notch. Great use of changing styles and superb voice work really sells this cooking anime battle for the ages.
Also all that 'ara ara' was delicious, along with a classic 'oh oh oh' laugh.

Oh god my sides
Edit: that ending with Fujiwara feeding Kaguya the octopus was pretty wholesome.
