Kotoura-san has made it all the way from humble web manga to the giddy heights of minor hit gag anime – being acclaimed by some as the funniest of the season, and inciting more enthusiasm even than the belated “4th” season of Minami-ke (and in fact it shares the same director as both the legendary first season of Minami-ke, and the same voice talent as a certain cephalopod invader).

Man, that opening depressed the hell out of me! I barely even knew the character and I felt so damn bad for her. I hope they don't just go straight comedy going forward.
The first half had me thinking I had the wrong anime.
I too...
agreed, if the latter half wasnt so funny i wouldve ended up crying
Girls crying and hurt kittens. Powerful stuff.
I thought the same.
Makes a lot of time an anime that does not begin with an episode so dramatic.
Although after so many problems because of the gift she had to learn to talk less ....
The way is to check the next episodes and is perhaps a good anime comedy (as Boku ha tomodachi disappointed as premiere)
Best first ep of the season imo.
Best mother of the season imo.
F*ck the mother......with tentacles >.>
Too bad it's a comedy. Would love the drama.
Didn't you see any foreshadowing?
People don't care to pay enough attention to foreshadowing. The first ep made me T_T. I hope it will delve further into resolving her issues. There are many good places they can take it, I just hope we arrive at one.
Best first ep I've probably ever seen in general.
totally agree with you sir
Indeed best first episode in general in a long time, i hope the series keeps this up!
a long, long time
This is epic!
FKING BEST OF THE BEST.. so far.. =)
Best first ep for me too
Watching anime never felt so fun.
That's an exaggeration, but it was a fine first episode. If the rest of the show keeps up the fun and comedy, this will be one of the top anime of the season.
It's the best first episode I've seen this season. The first half tore my heart out. How horrible a thing for her mother to say. Couldn't imagine how crushing that would be. I had tears running down my cheeks. And then it turns into a comedy!? WOW!
Hope they can keep this level of quality over the course of the series.
Am I watching the same anime? I just about lost it during the cat scene.
Agree. This show was a pleasant surprise in a season where the only good show were Chihayafuru 2.
Yes, it's really funny has stupidly emo this is.
She can fuckin' read minds!
Can you imagine all the cool and glorious shit you can do with that?!?
Instead, she's an absolutely clueless waste of potential.
It's starting to look like whiny shit series.
Seeing her use this power for something fun, meaningful, or novel would have been much more interesting.
The downside is finding out what relatives and
friends really think of you and everything you say and do. Might make you crazy after awhile. I think you'd have to grow a thick skin not to be affected.
Hmmm cute loli's, a touch of pervertedness, and good laughs?
Seems like a instant win to me
Excellent start for 2013.
Honestly only picked up the show after I saw this post..
Glad I did.
First, Third, and Eleventh episode = SAD
Others = Funny
This is one of the BEST anime on this season, rather than "Moe girls doing a stupid things" or "Too much fan service that makes that Anime looks like a semi-porno or hentai", Kotoura-San really focus on the story and humor, totally worth watching !
Didn't read the comic, nor seen the show. But the first images kind of gave me dark impressions.
Then there's all smiles and giggles.
That mood swing is what makes it great. Experience how the other side feels...
I know it's a comedy but watching the first half
I couldn't help thinking that's why kids come to school
with assault rifles. What a heartbreaking first half!
Looks like it might be a winner.
The Corps is mother The Corps is father
She is grandgrandmother of Kevin Vacit
Pic 14.
Lolicon alert!
when I see her blank face...she remind me of luffy when Ace died
Both scenes really hit hard.
great I can't watch one piece now that I know ace died. thanks anon.
so many better comments yet you read mine, tough luck taylor
How come he imagines her with large breasts even though she's clearly flat-chested??
Because he sees her as a valid romantic partner even though they are realistically too young to have sex.
Because girls like to imagine themselves differently inside their heads.
It's the guy who imagines her that way. She could just read his mind and knows that he is having dirty thoughts of her.
I didn't know about the anime's genre when starting to watch it, so the mood whiplash after the first half hit me out of nowhere.
Read this article on Sankaku, left for about 25 minutes to watch this show, came back to comment on how good it was.
Seriously, this was fantastic. So many emotions packed into one episode. And the humor felt odd at first, but give hope that this could be a truly heart-warming series.
I'm impressed.
I didn't really know what to expect from the anime but the first half of the show really brought me down, granted its a anime but besides the phychic part what happend to her does happen to real people. I fell in love with the series still.
dat randosel
Thank you sankaku for not only covering manly perverted anime. Looks like you're changing.. I like this change.
Also thank you for the return of aya hirano news.
I probably would have gotten some up votes if it were not for that 2nd part. haha
in other anime, this mind reading ability also called satori,
mostly for battle / fighting anime
and now satori in comedy, let see how it works
"I foresee your tsukkomi..!!"
unofficial Mitsudomoe S3?
that's the first anime came to my mind when i saw the character design.
Same people, that's why
