  Most immersive bullying I've seen was in my Elementary school.

Nagatoro piss off more in anime than manga.
Well i still hate Nagatoro (the character) because for what she is doing that is bullying, I'm not going to spoiler the justification given to Nagatoro for doing that though.
Joro-kun being a pussy.
Uesaka Sumire perfect like Nagatoro. The opening was good throught visuals and that.
Good first episode!

  What's wrong with bullying? The strong prey on the weak. Just like things should be. And she doens't not even bully him for real, just making some funny jokes.
  Removed 5y
  but its still bullying.
  She know that he is weak and cries, why she is doing more more? MC must be suffering, considering that they have been bullying him since he was a child. And under pressure he has no choice but to endure a Kouhai laugh in his face.

  I would encourage you to watch at least 2 more episodes. You might understand more about the series. In fact in episode one its already been shown for the most part what her goal is. Of course I have the advantage of having read the manga but the hints are there if you look hard.

fully expecting people to not like Nagatoro here in the beginning. Which is understandable, in the beginning is when she's at her worst. But what i want to say to everyone, she gets much better overtime. And shes great
- JamaicanBambi 5y
  I'll chime in on this:
  
  When I started the manga, I really didn't like Nagatoro, and I was frustrated with MC. It brought back some unpleasant memories. Still, I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did, because I now really enjoy it. The character development for the two mains is excellent, and the series consistently improves upon itself.
  
  Based on the first episode, I imagine they'll continue to stay true to the progression of the manga going forward. Those who stick with it are likely to enjoy where it goes.
- FlareKnight 5y
  I got through the first episode definitely feeling that side of it. Of course even in this they do drop some interesting pauses and moments that make her feel more interesting than I expected. Would like to think even at this point that she took some interest for more reasons than he's just an easy mark. That she saw something in his art/story that intrigued her.
  
  But who knows, could be reading way too much into nothing. If she's going to get a lot better over time then I'm certainly willing to stick with it until we get there.
  Doom 5y
  I will say, without spoiling anything, they eventually do give a reason for why she chose him specifically
AGamer 5y
Poor dude lol
- Squida 5y
  nah bro he desperately needs the character development
  iTk 5y
  I hope he get it soon, cause I can't stand this guy being a total pussy atm. It's ok cause is 1st episode but I want him to change in next ones.
asianhenry3 5y
the voice acting was immaculate, animation was well done and overall a well written first ep! excited to see what's to come.
ImoutoHeadpat 5y
I am very pleased overall with the first episode. More so than I expected to be as I wasn't familiar with the studio or director.

The coloring is actually really well done, important scenes are well animated. Other than feeling like I didn't get a few of the panels I was hoping for or that they weren't as great as I wanted them to be I have no issues with the first episode outside of an anime-only switch to a more cartoonish slapstick towards the end when the manga is strongly grounded outside of comedy panels.

music amplifies the intensity of the attacks without overshadowing them.

Both voice actors really knocked it out of the park as well.

From the preview it looks like we might have a chapter skip.

  you are the only guy on anilist i know because you wrote this amazing nagatoro manga review! love you
  ImoutoHeadpat 5y
  This made my day and all those hours of effort worth it. Thank you!
hvnly6 5y
i hate it, i dropped it. the scenery was just beautiful but i hate nagatoro

in the beginning is when she's at her worst. But what i want to say to everyone, she gets much better overtime

its a 12 episode anime, idk if she'll be better, ill just watch the last ep when it comes out to be sure
- Removed 5y
  I hate Nagatoro too but, its funny to watch xd
  wcrybabyy 5y
  whats so funny about a person getting bullied at?

  name doesnt check out

  their name was "cyberbullyingkids" till they changed it lol
  trippedonmydreams 5y
  thank you for the context
- 2Dimm 5y
  keep watching pussy, senpai himself doesn't hate being bullied by a cute girl, and she is going to be good for him on the long run
  Ihatefairytail 5y
  the guy is such a beta to the point that when he was crying i actually felt bad for him, potentially worse than rent-a-npc
- boristhegod69 5y
  if you're gonna drop a anime just because you dont like a character then you're a fucking pussy and should stop watching anime
  hvnly6 5y
  no cause have you ever heard of ratings ways? its enjoyment and characters for me, like i said, i will watch the last episode to if shes changed and if she has, i'll just watch it again. plus i also found it boring cause all she did was really tease, its still like a 3 star for me though
  FreakOfMation 5y
  Idk, hating the deuteragonist seems like an okay reason to stop watching. They're going to be in most of the scenes after all.
- Doom 5y
  since you quoted my reply, ill make it more clear.
  
  Itll be like 2 episodes and you'll start liking her. From the preview as ImoutoHeadpat said, were probably getting a chapter skip. Which im honestly ok with since the beginning chapters are very much filler and dont have alot to them. So it seems like they're focused on progression here, which is why i say shes going to get better overtime.
  
  If you still dont want to continue it, thats fine. But trust me it wont be taking 12 episodes for her to develop into someone more likable
  hvnly6 5y
  alright. its usually enjoyment and characters for me so i usually drop stuff cause of that.
  FreakOfMation 5y
  I'm happy it's getting a chapter skip because as much as I love the manga as a whole, the beginning was pure cringe.
- azraelle 5y
  Worth watching just for her facial animations. Pretty amusing.
InSearchOfName 5y
why the subtitles "you've been acting sus the whole time"
- ImoutoHeadpat 5y
  because CR thinks localization means use dead memes.

that was a nice episode, i dont think nagataro is a bad girl, she probably has good intentions. The ed is pretty lit.
LordGrape 5y
Binge read the manga in two days in preparation for this. I've been hyped and on a high for the past 3 days. This did not disappoint. Cannot wait for the next episode and the next chapter!
Removed 5y
This first episode made me fall on the floor laughing, everyone saying they hate nagatoro but nah i like her
zairawr 5y
yeah so the ed was the best part of this episode
slopeater96 5y
in all honesty i hate ep 1 more than the early chaps of nagatoro, and the ost while i dont directly hate it, it can be improved upon, as some scenes i felt didnt really match the music, but hey, to each their own
Dexx 5y
I was grinning like an idiot even though I hated this part when I read the manga for the first time. Man, Nagatoro really changed me for the worse.
- Lebhaber 5y
  same
Ihatefairytail 5y
This guy is the biggest lamest beta ive ever seen
NextUniverse 5y
You know. I intentionally wanted to slam on this show for irrational hate against Nagatoro and Senpai. But I would be a liar to say that this show wasn't enjoyable. The ost, the art, the execution is just top quality.

Maybe I will slam this elsewhere but I am liking where this is going. Good stuff.
sadajo0216 5y
Yes.
wiredmatt 5y
Idk about this, romanticizing bullying is not my thing.

He can enjoy it as it's appreciated by anyone, but I still don't like the concept at all.

I liked other characters who mess with MC in other animes but there's a big gap between messing with someone and bullying them.

The production was really HQ, I feel they could've adapted something better with that direction and team, sadge.
- yoimen 5y
  100% agreed
- FreakOfMation 5y
  Understandable. But they really do get better as time goes on.
  wiredmatt 5y
  Yeah, from what one can see Senpai seems to enjoy this and Nagatoro knows it so she keeps bullying him, but I think just messing with him would've been better, I suffered a worse type of bullying from school to highschool so it was difficult for me to watch it, but if it changes to something light and more friendly I'll watch it.
jmislam 5y
the mc pisses me off but its the first episode so ill give it a chance

I would like bully this "guy" with Nagatoro

Youve been acting sus this whole time
omuricee 5y
Being a manga reader of this anime, I can assure you that this anime will meet if not surpass your expectations. Fav scene was nagatoro saying senpai, enjoying it.
trippedonmydreams 5y
this is looking to be such a great adaptation
scato07 5y
This is shaping up to be a faithful adaptation so far. I dig it.
- ImoutoHeadpat 5y
  I was most afraid they would try to soften her for TV and they didn't pull a single punch. I've been waiting years to see that scene animated and they didn't disappoint.
  scato07 5y
  Yep totally thought the same thing glad they didn't
WeebChannel 5y
I going to enjoy this series just as much as the manga. It's actually quite refreshing seeing them adapt it not frame for frame so it allows a manga reader to experience their world with rejuvenated eyes. I enjoy the layout of certain scenes to include more innuendo than before.
I'm a little disappointed in seeing how this studio doesn't seem to have the largest portfolio of work, and this is reflected in quality for sure. The odd 3D model bust in the background of the art club are really off-putting. What I assume is the OP at the end of this first episode is just a compilation of shots from episodes, which is kinda lazy. And perhaps its the resolution but some of the lines just look jagged.

People complaining about the bullying tho? I'd recommend not dropping because Senpai mans up rather quickly, and if anything she seems more brutal in the manga. And honestly seeing Senpai grow some stones is a good thing.

  Can not wait for the other episodes to drop. This is epic.
FreakOfMation 5y
I'm down with this animation. They all look so good animated, and their VAs are really nice too. However, I'm already seeing people calling this ''cringe'', which I admit was at first. But I'm excited to see the development.
