All-female ecchi? I'd buy that for a dollar! Sadly, these type of anime are a very rare treat.

Cute and funny start. This reminds me of Comic Girls and Mangirl!.

Manga Time Kirara adaptation is always a blessing.

Bad Girl, Mono, and Anima Yell.
Other series like Yuru Camp, Blend S, Anne Happy, Bocchi the Rock, Yumekui Merry, and Gakkougurashi have also been spotted.

This first episode was good silly fun, with a likeable and quirky main cast.
I wonder how long Meiko will be able to hide this little 'misunderstanding', haha.

Strong and convincing start, looks like it will be a very amusing cgdct series :)

Surprisingly good. Like how this has the classic CGDCT charm.

Didn’t expect to love the first episode this much. I really like the cast so far, and the CGDCT slice-of-life vibe is a nice touch too.

That was rather comfy with the bonus panty shots every once in a while, there could have been a bit more but I'll take it, what I wish is that the MC would have kept a bit of her accent, it was super cute at the start of the episode.

A few panty shots are enough to call something ecchi now? I'm guessing there's more to come? Can anyone confirm?

It's not like I needed it, it seems like an adorable and comedic CGDCT show on it's own, but the ecchi tag is a little misleading atm haha

Loved it! Nice CGDCT, though a little on the ecchi side. Has two of my favorite things cute obscure accents and girls who don't wear pants. ;) Seriously looks like a great show, with lots of fun and misunderstandings with an interesting setting. The manga art looks even better, have to check that out too.
Best part was the OP's JUMP (always a sign of CGDCT) got turned into an ecchi one at the end.

Four girls jumping to the air. I wonder from what anime that came from. Ehem.
Pat on the shoulder and jumpscare. Ritsu, Is that you?
Funny thing why I ended up checking this out because of the ecchi tag plus the cute artstyle lol.
It has funny bits but from production side it feels rather cheap. There are still more time for them to fleshed out the characters so that's worth looking forward. For the ecchi, it better be tasteful, not just slight hint of pantsu then you call it ecchi.Other than that, it's an okay start.

CGDCT with ecchi surrounding cute high school girls???? I, once again, hit the jack pot. I am fuckin' sold, hahahah.

the OP is catchy. we've got a funny and somewhat shy country girl, blonde twin tail Mytuber that's surprisingly not a tsundere, a busty dorm head that lovesssss manga (even the 18+ ones), and a petite silver haired loli that's a pro gamer. what can I say? they're all very likeable already.

as someone above said, CGDCT is a lost art and we rarely get anime of that theme these days. hope we get more as time goes on.

here's to a good one.

A little too bland CGDCT for me. Didn't find it that funny or engaging. The pantsu shots were cute, some actual decent fanservice. The group of the 4 are a nice pair together, but aren't the highlight for me, the manga caffe place turned into a dormitory is interesting and looks cool as fuck lol.

So we have the rich girl with the raunchy taste in classic literature, the streamer pantsu girl with a surprising high number of subs, who are totally watching her for her manga takes btw lol, the "are you really a high schooler?" Girl, and the bland protag-chan who got lucky in a lottery type selection to move out from the country side to a new life in great Tokyo. The cast have a nice dynamic to them, but I don't find them to be really main group worth watching them do some silly shit together, they feel more like a side cast type characters...

6/10, not terrible, but not good either, it's missing some secret sauce to give it some more personality/identity in the ocean of CGDCT. This season at least, the drinking dormitory college girls CGDCT one is much, much better than this one!

This is some serious late 2000's - early 2010's ass anime that 4chan would gobble the fuck up lmao.

Comedy is a tad bit basic imo but the charecters are pretty likable and animation is decent. 6/10 so far.

Gonna put it on hold for now and wait till episode 6 comes out. Will binge the next 5 eps and then decide if I want to continue this or not.

I instantly love this show. Even if it feels like it's gonna be one of those ecchi shows with no nudity (has similar fanservice as New Game, which doesn't even have the Ecchi tag), it's still a show I can enjoy as a CGDCT show, which is what this so obviously is, despite not having the tag. And I like all 4 main characters' designs and they all seem likable. It's also rare to encounter shows that are both CGDCT and Ecchi, so this is a pleasant surprise.

@AkeZZZ i have a full list of kirara anime right here



my profile picture is another Kirara series under Manga Time Kirara MAX, the girl's name is Tenman Sora, from Nagayama Yuunon-sensei's Hatsukoi Rail Trip, and is the main protagonist of that manga too. it doesn't have an anime adaptation, but the manga only has 3 volumes. i even bought a physical manga copy of the series during my time in japan.

Yuunon-sensei has youtube channel, she is mainly a doujin artists, she draws many female characters in school swimsuits, and usually adding thigh-high socks, including charactes from other kirara animes, she is the designer behind Tsumugi Wenders from Summer Pocket. she has made two mangas series serialized in Kirara, Hatsukoi Rail Trip and Myu Kon: Music Conductor

she is also the character designer behind a few vtubers:

Usaki Yotsunoha(graduated member of the Haconnect vtuber agency)
Nekone Komari

She also has her own vtuber persona

So this is the extent of the ecchi so far. I certainly hope there's a lot more!!! The humor is pretty standard for Kirara 4-komas. It's alright.

Well I wasn't expecting a all girls slice of life after seeing this was a ecchi but I suppose its gonna be fairly light in that regard (Probably). Quite liking this so far the cast of girls are all nice and cute. The misunderstanding was funny.

Cool though pausing and recognising one of the manga on the shelfs so that's kinda cool kinda assumed they'd all be fake for the show

I watched it without knowing absolutely anything about the anime, so several things caught me by surprise. Like the fact that Morita literally ends up going to live in a manga café thinking it was going to be a normal dorm (well, she didn’t know either lol) and thinking she was going to some super fancy school. I mean, she did go to a fancy school, but not exactly in the way she expected lol. The whole situation already starts off kind of random.

And the part where Amamiya thinks she’s a famous mangaka was pretty funny to me. Now I’m curious to see how she’s going to deal with that: whether she’ll try to keep up the lie for a while (because then she’d have to actually produce some manga content lol) or if she’ll eventually admit that she’s not who the other girl thinks she is.

For me it’s watchable. It’s nothing amazing, but I also didn’t think it was the disaster some people are saying it is. there are worse shows out there. And to be honest, anything that has even the possibility of yuri involved already makes me more inclined to watch it lol.

Now the ecchi really caught me off guard. When it showed up I was kind of like, “wait, what??” because it feels pretty fanservice-y and a bit forced, clearly on purpose. But considering the type of comedy and the studio making it, it kind of makes sense that they’d make that choice, since they usually work with lower-budget productions.

So for now I’m mostly just curious to see how this whole “famous mangaka” misunderstanding is going to develop.

It was alright. Cast is your usual quirky but fun, not as much of the humour landed as I would have liked. Of course the episode had a scene where Meiko was put up on stage in front of everyone with no warning or time to prepare (Thank God that scene was brief) The production quality seemed servicable, rather cheap but this show obviously doesn't have a massive budget so it's understandable. At times it felt a bit like an ad for Kirara series given all the manga showcased on the bookshelves, though it was a little fun to look at what was on display and see how many I could identify.

I had to set up a Rakuten account to see this since my Prime just expired and it doesn't appear to be on my regions' YouTube and I must say, I wasn't overly fond of the experience. The quality on the website seemed unusually low and the subtitles were a little annoying given they were white and had little to know outline or background to help make them stand out on the screen. At least it didn't buffer at all.

Not sure about this one. The OP is (musically) woeful, but the BGM and ED are decent. Bog standard characters and the comedy's not really doing it for me yet.

So Meiko really isn't a manga artist right? Because it looks like she shares a name with a manga artist that Rie is infatuated with so hopefully Rie won't be too upset when she realizes that Meiko is just a country girl. Beyond that I thought that this is an interesting and somewhat unique series with a mix of CGDCT and some mild ecchi. Speaking of which, Marika sure likes walking around in her panties huh.

Umh. I think it has the potential to be quite funny right up until the end.

This is like "manga time kirara the anime". The setup, the punchline, the joke, everything just screams manga time kirara. Because of that, it feels like it's trying too hard to be funny.
