Goons were right; Takeo owns, and I like how he has a voice deeper and manlier than any FotNS character.

The first episode owns bones, can't wait for more of Takeo's deeds to be animated.

Yeah I need to re-read it. I totally forgot that was how he and Yamato met. Blasting through 20 volumes of KnT since reading this one didn't help my memory either

Just watched the first episode. (I have not read the manga.) It was very good.

I get the feeling Suna might like Takeo. Like as in more than just a friend like. It would be interesting if they go with Takeo and Yamato dating, and Suna silently pining after Takeo. (As long as it doesn't change the tone of the show. That is was what I liked most from the first episode.)

I got the sense that Suna just never really paid attention to girls but Yamato somehow made an impression. Could be wrong and maybe he is gay, we'll see.

Manga people please don't spoil whatever it really is, not even in tags.

Maybe Suna's just impressed by a girl who seems to be judging Takeo by his actions and characters instead of by his looks; from the flashbacks he was really blunt towards girls he wasn't interested in and they still fell over themselves because he looks so good.

This was everything I wanted and more. Didn't know that the voice actor for Hikki could do badass, deep-voiced manly men so well. You know who he reminded me of? The dude voicing Avdol.

I wanted to watch the first episode again, so here's a trip report: still good!


I'm really enjoying the voice work. Takeo's VA knocks it out of the park, and everyone else is doing a good job.
I also like the text side-comments by background characters. Sunakawa's in particular are amusing.

Just finished the first episode, found it fairly okayish. The gags are pretty nice I am just worried this might go Kimi ni Todoke S2 on me.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
I feel like people's assumptions/guesses as to where this story will go say all that needs to be said about the romance manga industry.

Based on first episodes aired alone this will probably be anime of the season and for sure the anime of my heart~

More or less. It's expected that some sort of love rival will show up to produce as much angst as possible and generally best friends vying for the same person is the stock tactic for that.

Had a look at the first chapter of the manga again and it is almost shot for shot. The only difference, as someone said earlier, is that the folktale about the demons is at the start.

If this fidelity continues, the show will be cool and good.

Oh I don't read manga, I was just going off the first episode and I got a vibe it could just be "show about misunderstandings".

I'm going to blow up long before then.

Finally had a chance to watch it and there's literally nothing i didn't love about the first episode except maybe the fact that i couldn't immediately watch the next one.

anyway, some gifs i found:

Second on my list of wished-for Ore Monogatari spinoffs, after a Chihayafuru mashup, is the story of how Takeo's parents got together. Suave nightclub owner and pro female wrestler?
