Crunchyroll has it. Though for free members, it's available on the 15th.

I hate my lack of funding. Ah, well, I'll just have to mark my calendar.

While I suspect this may dive into cringe territory later. Even if you can't relate to Tomoko, the first ep was pretty funny.

I found a translation of the manga online, so I'm reading it now.

I... don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I found a H-manga of this very series on FAKKU. It was surprisingly sweet and terrifyingly amusingly in-character for Tomoko.

[up], [up][up][up] That's why I've been avoiding the manga. I figure I'll stick wit the anime till it becomes to cringe worthy. Which could only be 1 episode for all I know.

I'm pretty sure the second episode will be pretty cringey if every ep is about 4 chapters each.

As if the first wasn't cringy enough...

Ok I just caught up on it all.

Oh god chapter 43 was just plain awful. There is literally nothing that can top that that doesn't involve national television.

[up]

The manga tends to go through a sequence of lows for Tomoko, before the universe decides to be nice to her for a chapter. Then the cycle repeats. As a few posts above pointed out, this pretty much means that we'll DEFINITELY get "trainwreck" episodes where we couldn't look away as Tomoko suffers humiliation.

In my case it'll be pause, walk away for five minutes, unpause, and repeat after 30 seconds.

Read that. It really is a heartwarming one.

Am I weird for pairing Tomoko with Komiyama?

Okay, I take it back. The anime has the potential to be more cringy than the manga. I don't know if it's because it's three chapters in one, or it's the visuals, or the convincing voicework or empathic music or whatever, but an attempt has been made on my life while watching this.

See, when you read the manga, it's so grungy, dirty and pulpy that you can't take it seriously: You read it as a black comedy, and that's how I always treated it. But when you watch the anime, whose visuals aren't that much different from any other slice-of-life anime, it doesn't feel like a black comedy. It feels like you're watching a slice-of-life comedy gone horribly WRONG.

Imagine the poor soul who waits for the series to air so he could marathon it. Suicide rates across the world will skyrocket, I tell ya.

Being Tomoko is suffering. Hope Kyubey doesn't get anywhere near her.

Tomoko getting off to yandere-style verbal abuse is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in both the manga and the anime. The episode was good... now, I fuckin' HAVE to read that Wata Mote H-Manga on Fakku. XD

[up] There's no way her wish to be popular could backfire... *Sarcasm Mode: ON*

Well, the show seems pretty consistent.

Tomoko is weird.

Her interactions with people she knows are probably my favorite parts of the show, but there haven't been that many (like one an episode).

Yandre boys CD? Can you have Yandre boys? I thought it was one of those Double Standard things and Yandre boys were, well, abusive criminals....and yes that was very disturbing. Same with her view of the manager also. That girl has some strange ideas about various things...that seemed to come up alot this show.

[up] Maybe it's because of her otome games... kind of like those girls who, having read Twilight, find Edward Cullen sweet and romantic when he's actually an abusive stalker. Or the ASOIAF fangirls who ship Sansa Stark with Sandor fucking Clegane. Mokocchi has some... really fucked up views about sex and relationships, even outside of her obsession with yandere guys. Like, that time in the manga when she complained about how she never got molested on trains because she's unattractive... WTF.

I think I found the Yandere disc the one Tomoko was hearing was based on.

[up][up] Now you got me curious tongue.

The Episode was okay and I really liked that they used a different ending to shoe in the agressive music Tomoko listens to.
