Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi Anime Release is finally out !
HELL, YES.
I've been waiting for this for years (okay, maybe not years, but still a very long time) and squealed when I found out that this was getting an anime adaption, congratulations Nakamura! . So, deciding to express my happiness for this anime release, I've decided to make a "discussion" thread about the anime release as the series is ongoing. Great idea, right? Maybe not, because there is not really to discuss about something so cheesy and cute as this magnificent series. =/ But, I wanna fangirl over Kisa Shouta, so there! ><
TO People who have read the manga (like me)
Please do not spoil the manga to someone new to the series or hasn’t read the series yet. There are many big spoilers that we would like to keep as surprises and would like to have everyone "DA ********?" over.
TO People whom haven’t read the manga or is undecided on whether or not to watch it yet.
Don't judge on first appearances, This is actually a really good series, actually better than Junjou Romantica imo. Its a very sweet series that surprises a lot and is a great way to make the transition from shouen ai to yaoi.

FAQ
1) Is this going to be an actual anime series or an OVA? I've been seeing that there is not going to be many episodes.
- According to Aarinfantasy.com, The episode that has recently been released is actually an OVA, however the actual series (first episode) won’t be released until April 8th. For more information about that, Click here. There is going to be twelve episodes in the series, like Junjou Romantica.
2) So, since its like Junjou Romantica, is there going to be three couples? Or will it just resolve around Onodera and Takano?
- I'm actually not 100% sure, but more like 98% sure that they’re going to put the other two couples in it. The reason for that is because I haven’t seen a source saying so. But let’s just say yes for now. But there sure better do so, because If i don’t see my Animated Kisa I will kill a puppy.
3) Will this series come to America?
- The Manga is coming out July 2011, though I don't know about the anime series itself. The OVA however, is available to buy on DVD now on Amazon.
THE OPENING SONG IS KICKASS!
Episode Analysis [spoilers]
Episode one:
I CAUGHT FORESHADOWING HERE!
Mino: [after explaination of photo croooked thing]- Ah, watched out so you dont get crooked.
Onodera: Okay.
Kisa : They say, " A Crooked photocomposition is a sign of a crooked heart."
Hatori: "Kisa, you were Crooked last time."
Kisa: What? Really? Where?
OHHH SNAP.
Episode two:
I LOL'D at the tension with they tried to dramatizie ritsu up. It was really unfitting to me. But the slow sequence of Takano rape was AMAZING.
and was i all like,"HAY, THAT MANGA ARTIST CAN DRAW PRETTY DAMN GOOD"
Episode three:
Though they are following the manga pretty well, I THANK THE HEAVENS that they didnt leave us off with that cliffhanger shinaigans. They ended off pretty well.
