I tried watching this anime yesterday, because it's from SHAFT. It certainly feels like shaft which is a good thing, but sadly it fails to entertain. Even if it got delicious traps and time travel.

The people that drew the anime drew it terribly compared to School Rumble, really...I mean Jin Kobayashi's work is good...but this time, the anime was a bit...off.

idk, why you guys complain so much, the manga version, is well done, if you do not like how the author draws his images, well just move on. i certainly have enjoy every single episode of the series so far. what drew me closer to this amine was quality of the work, sure there may be some other anime out there with a better quality, but i happen to enjoy how it looks, don't bash it, before you even get a chance to view it.
also marketing is marketing, they got you talking about either way..anyways take a look at it, and hope you guys enjoy it as much as i am!!! watching ep 6 at the moment on crunchyroll.

peace out!

They took a different art direction and it seems to work out just fine. Clean animation with bold color palettes. The series is one of the better ones of the season...at least by the look of episode 1.

It really does look a lot better once you actually watch.

Don't dis the series until you watch the series. Although coming late to reply, it actually has a really good animation quality, just the promotion material lacks. After seeing it, it's quality is entirely better than School Rumble Series. And i don't take quality lightly.

I really thought the art and animation would be more like School Rumble, but I guess I was wrong. I might have to drop this series, if it ends up like Akikan.

Well maybe this is a good reason why anime studios shouldn't rely on outsourcing production so much.

Shaft's a studio I consider hit or miss on their productions.

Maybe studios should just not over produce and rush shows.

Holy shit.....Arashi's eyes are too narrow.....

Thought she'll be the long-haired version of Yakumo and this is what I get ? One nasty Kamura Reiri & Enma Ai character with a pair of large & narrow red-eye !? Looking forward to this anime.

Huh? Then what's with the "Asread Quality"? Or does that just mean that, even though it's produced by SHAFT, it looks like something done by Asread?

Hmm, looks like they forgot to feed the Korean animators again.

The character design is.... filled with double stuffing of fail. Let's not get to "it's a character design, that's their style" line. Visually this fails. Only hope for them is to make the execution of the story well laid out.

Chya... I'll still watch it.
Is just the art-style.

what...
so no execs from SHAFT ever monitor the production?
this is as mind-baffling as a kleine bottle (or whatever it's spelled.)
