Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Episode 1

Another show I’ve been kinda wanting to watch. Our main character walks into a classroom to find Mikazuki Yozora talking to thin air, a complete change from her normal silent attitude. He walks in and she instantly becomes silent again. When he asks, she admits to talking with an imaginary friend. Anyways, he introduces himself as Hasegawa Kodaka, telling Yozora that he also has no friends. They have a bit of a conversation about the nature of friendship and how to make friends and whatnot. Kodaka mentions joining a club and Yozora suddenly leaves, having come up with some idea. Kodaka thinks back to his first day at the school, when he was late and scares everyone with his hair and appearance (his hair is part blonde because of his mother’s influence). Yozora pulls him aside the next day, telling him her idea to start her own club, the Neighbor’s Club, as a way to make more friends. They start to put up posters about the club, all of which have a secret message of finding friends. When they finish, they return to the clubroom to await new members. Very quickly, they hear a knock on the door, which turns out to be Kashiwazaki Sena, probably the most popular girl in the school. However, Yozora quickly closes the door on her and locks it, refusing to let her into the room. Sena finally gets a word in, actually wanting to find friends, and Yozora lets her in. Sena explains that she wants to actually befriend someone, rather than have people fawning over her. Kodaka suggests that Yozora and Sena be friends, but the two start to argue. Music is interesting and the animation looks nice. Sena’s situation was a bit predictable, but the show seems okay for now.
