Crunchyroll seem to be taking their time with the first episode. I wouldn’t normally care but I was anticipating this more than usual. The manga is pretty excellent.

Episode 1
That was surprisingly fun. Well this premise is not incredibly original, but with a yakuza main character is odd, but he was generally a nice guy, and Hina was pretty entertaining with her emotionless side, but also charming. The part she was introduced to class was pretty funny, when the whole class simultaneously thought the same thing. Also the end, where they pulled the whole Terminator thing. |

Just adding that the manga also improves substantially as it goes along and as more characters are properly established.

Haha, this was great. The art style, comedy, and the characters so far entertained me. I'm really glad to see Hina animated even if there was parts of fan service for her in the beginning of the episode. Actually, I feel like the fan service is more like over the top comedy as I had expected from this show.
The character chemistry is really funny so far imo especially between Hina and Niita. A very nice start so far. Too bad it's only 12 episodes but it should still be a a really entertaining ride. |

No. That was just comedy. No fanservice value or intent to it at all. |

Really enjoyed that. I really like the humour. Like when she first appears in his apparent all bound up and you see her eyes looking at him, but she doesn't say anything. And then he decides to pretend he hasn't seen anything. Looking forward to more.

The episode itself did very little for me.
I got the gags, but never really felt like they hit the right comedic timing. That was until the post credits scene...I don't know why, but that was executed much better than the rest of the gags. |

Episode 2
The best part of the episode was definitely Hina bringing her friend, Hitomi, on the adventure, that she was acting as a bartender, and then at a 'girly club', something so ridiculous that her mother would not believe. And by the looks of the ED, Hitomi might be staying in the bartending scene. Although, there was also the other esper thing. |

I was kind of pissed off at Nitta for leaving poor Hina alone with canned mackerel so he could go off chasing women. He deserves that big fat bar bill. Hina and Homeless's "super power" battle was pretty hilarious. Who would have thought those red balls were so weak against water?

Totally loved these episodes. The comedy is good and the characters are fun. Even if there's a joke that's less funny, te fuzzy warmth of this show makes up for it. Makes sense that yakuza Nitta didn't go to perfect caretaker in such a short time frame. The high bill at the end sure woke him up. And Hina is not perfect friend material either, but her friend did not call her mother for help... I get the feeling that she's playing innocent but actually wants a less normal life. And am I seeing signs that an honest adult romance is acomin'? Utako seems like a perfect imperfect/oddball mother

Episode 3
Dang, this show has everything. Hard to choose a favourite segment, with the emotional beginning on homelessness, the bartending segment, or Hina totally failing at being helpful. I think I will go with the bartending part, starting with blackmail, a mistake that such a person would play fair, and the run in with the teacher. |

With episode 3 it should finally be to a point where, if you don’t like it by now, you probably won’t like it later spoiler[and are presumably a terrible person.] spoiler[Just kidding
 .] There’re still a lot of excellent jokes to come though.

Episode 4
That moment Nitta realised he was a dick for kicking a school girl out and she could not go to school, and got shamed by everyone. His side has some sense as he really does not have any actual responsibility, and Anzu kicking her out too, but still a dick move, even if it seems Hina did learn a lesson. And another great Hitomi section, with her being drawn into the insanity that is Anzu's homeless situation, all while dead tiered. Eventually falling asleep on her feet. |

Episode 5
Without a doubt, Hitomi gets the best parts of the episode. And with a new character of her friend, who just seems to like messing with her more. It is actually then funny that HIna, the main character, was characterised by doing nothing to actually wasting resources rather than actually helping with things she could easily. I thought it particularly funny when her sleeping was interrupted by a trail of ants going over her and then into her mouth. |
