So what did you think about the first ep of Hyakko? The animation is nice and the girls are cute but this was another show that I stopped watching half way through. The first half of the show was taken up by two girls walking around a corridor and seemed to go on forever. For those who watched till the end - does it get better? But Hirano Aya-chans voice was as cute as ever - this image of her and more at Really Cute Asians. Hyakko OP below.

I can understand why you didn't like the corridor bit, it really did go on for a while, but yes it did get better. The additional characters and the teacher certainly lived things up, but in all, not a lot happened really. Just a broken window.

Just your average anime fan and blogger...
It was a great left hook......

i laughed so hard at that point of the show, that made me decide to add this anime to my watch list.

First Impression: Not gonna watch it (Drawing style- not exactly attractive, IMO) After browsing: Looks promising enough to give it a go.

LOL'd I thought this was an endurance watch, although it's so boring for my first impression. I stopped half-way through like Danny, 'cause Casshern Sins has poked my attention.

(ID #323930) Posted on 2008/10/05 22:37
the 2nd half is much better than the 1st with the intro of the other 2 girls. just thinking bout the educative guidance the teacher wanted to dispense... lol XD
(ID #323932) Posted on 2008/10/05 22:41
i get the feeling this is somewhat like Lucky Star.. starts off slow, gets epic towards the end.
(ID #323941) Posted on 2008/10/05 22:58
Agreed, plus the voice actors are doing a good job. :)

you need to wait for the other two characters first before quitting ^^;; these kind of gakuen comedy really depends on its seiyuu to live up the characters i am a fan oy aya too but recently she seems to be everywhere and the voices of her characters sound almost the same...
(ID #323945) Posted on 2008/10/05 23:02
i agree with you. It seem forever when the two girls were walking around. But after the other two protagonists join it does gets a lot better especially because their unique personalities. One that only moves forward...and the other insanely strong and a bit speechless. Preview caught my interest. They will play baseball next week, I definitely have to watch it.
(ID #323983) Posted on 2008/10/06 00:00
It does get abit better after a while , ^.^
(ID #324004) Posted on 2008/10/06 00:42
Part trooper, part -timer, 100% loser...
As long as there's girls I'll watch it LOL
(ID #324011) Posted on 2008/10/06 00:47
Lucky Star 2. Except the jokes are sometimes even better.
(ID #324036) Posted on 2008/10/06 01:01
think it's average =/ will watch it though, maybe it'll grow? lol
(ID #324055) Posted on 2008/10/06 01:13
I don't think I will stick with this one, I can't pinpoint what it is about the show but it didn't grab me. That's not to see it's bad or anything. Maybe the next two episodes will change me mind? (gotta give it a good shot after all...)
(ID #324059) Posted on 2008/10/06 01:20
I watched windows install on my laptop while Hyakko was running because it was just that interesting >_> Don't really like the girls either... In my opinion it didn't get any better after the first ten minutes at all

Dropping computers, starting all over again at Journalism
I always tend to watch 3 episodes before judging... and even so, there are some animes that only get good after 5+. Like Lain. Hunter x Hunter was kinda that way for me too... the first episodes were ok but not great. So I'll wait some more before I start watching it... Oh yeah, Aya Hirano is gorgeous as ever.
(ID #324097) Posted on 2008/10/06 02:01
I watched it all the way through and liked it. It was the first school day/slice of life/comedy I've liked in a long time. I really don't get why people all over the internet are judging all the fall anime after just 1 episode. First episode is of course going to be slow since they have to introduce a lot of the people.

Agreed. I liked the first episode. Will continue watching.
(ID #324354) Posted on 2008/10/06 07:19
I just finished watching it and I liked it. The character designs aren't that bad and I did like some of the gags. Some of the facial expressions also make for good icons :) I'm not watching a whole lot right now so this will more than likely go into my "currently watching" rotation.
(ID #324141) Posted on 2008/10/06 03:02
just another something else
it has good prospect, i think ill watch some more.
(ID #324151) Posted on 2008/10/06 03:10
Truth be told... I'm actually not very use to Aya-chan's shy voice... It'll take some getting use to. Hyakko wasn't bad but I didn't find anything that struck me as "I have to watch this!" like Suzumiya Haruhi did.
(ID #324221) Posted on 2008/10/06 04:24
Need to see one or two more EP's before I decide on this one.
(ID #324281) Posted on 2008/10/06 05:19
Oh, nice pic of Hirano ^^

Hmm... I was almost bored in the beginning. I thought it might be a yuri anime from what I saw in the intro before the opening XD It does get better and funnier, but it's another slice-of-life anime it seems... Need something unique to make this stand out from the other slices-of-life methinks.

(ID #324416) Posted on 2008/10/06 10:07
seems interesting enough to keep watching.

Haven't tried it yet, but hope I get to it eventually...

it was a bit "meh" for me. I liked it, but it was a little boring at times. Give it another shot next week before i decide to drop it though. Toradora on the other hand i loved and will stick with it all season :]
(ID #324481) Posted on 2008/10/06 11:28
I liked it. Although it seemed boring. But 1st eps I usually overlook. Characters are really well done. Tomako? Toraka? Whatever her name is, is friggin hilarious!
(ID #324786) Posted on 2008/10/06 17:31
I just stop to watch it on the middle it was boring !
(ID #324804) Posted on 2008/10/06 18:03
The first ep seemed somewhat dull.. I hope something interesting pops out in ep2.

I'll need to watch a view episode til I could judge this anime.
(ID #324874) Posted on 2008/10/06 19:53
I thought it was genius! Obviously in the minority here but still - the animation had hints of FLCL - and yeah, that was a great left...

Addlist of my show..

As some people have said, yes, I thought it was a bit meh... but will keep watching to see if it gets better after a few eps. Girl jumping from second story window = amusing.:D
(ID #327436) Posted on 2008/10/09 00:07
Yep it has a very slow beginning, which can be a disadvantage. I was also tempted to just drop it, but i'm a sucker for slice-for-life series, so I kept at it. It does get better once all the girls are presented (I loved the teacher and Torako). Out of topic: why do all slice of life only have female characters? I really wish they had a more balanced cast.
