Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun First Impressions

That’s not sketchy at all…

That almost looked like an entire romance in the first episode. Main character Mizutani Shizuku meets the delinquent Yoshida Haru, finding out he’s not really all that delinquent…not interested at first, but he falls in love…then she falls in love. Yup…sounds like a full story to me. Guess it was kinda funny how Haru is stupidly naive coupled with extremely impulsive behavior…screws with the calm, calculated Shizuku. But people who want study all the time? No thanks…too much work for me.

Quick aside about music. I guess the opening is what you’d expect for this kind of show…which isn’t really my style (meaning it’s not something that would probably grow on me). The ending theme sounded decent, though, from what I could hear. So what happens now? I suppose Shizuku still has to realize her love or something…tell Haru…stuff like that. I would guess that they’ll also introduce other characters to build Haru’s friend count (Shizuku’s too). They’re not going to start a club, right? Right??

    This show does not sit well with me due to what it portrays

      admittedly it’s questionable…I suppose I’m numb to these sorts of things

    Oh how I hope you are wrong on the club thing. This first episode avoided most of the cliches I expected it to fall into so it would be a shame if it dives right into them in episode 2.

      lol…just a joke…I think?

    Glad to see I’m not the only one over-looking the big “controversy” in the first episode. I think people are overreacting

      probably…I was starting to think I missed something

    the thing i was suprised is what they didnt do in a lot of anime first episode or no anime at all is that they mixed violence with comedy

    1. marthaurion says:

      hah…I guess

    Wait, did you forget that shoujo manga recently start in this way and then put a couple of new bishounen to fight over the main heroine? :P

    1. marthaurion says:

      …what the…?

      1. feal87 says:

        That’s the pattern last I checked, couple after few chapters and then tons of hardships…:P
