First Impressions: My Little Monster, Episode 1 – Anyone Else Think...?
Okay, let's talk My Little Monster. Specifically, that first episode. I know, I know, it's a classic. But hear me out!
Anyone else find Shizuku a little...intense? I mean, grades are important, sure. But girl needs to chill!
The Icy Queen
Seriously, her dedication to studying is kind of scary. Is she even having fun? Doesn't she ever crave a cheesy rom-com binge with a giant bowl of popcorn?
I get it, she's got goals. But maybe a little social life wouldn't hurt, right? Balance is key!
"My only goal is to study well!" – Shizuku, probably.
Then there's Haru. Talk about a wild card! This guy's like a fluffy, unpredictable bomb.
Enter the Wild Child
One minute he's sweet, the next he's threatening to beat someone up. Zero chill, total chaos. Where's the off-switch?
He's got a cute side, I'll admit. But his temper is a *little* concerning. Red flags everywhere!
The whole chicken incident? Okay, maybe it was kind of funny. But also, slightly disturbing. Animal cruelty isn't cool, even in anime.
And the whole "I'm going to be your friend now!" thing? Talk about clingy! Personal space, much?
The Unlikely Duo
So, Shizuku and Haru together. An overachieving ice queen and a delinquent with anger issues. Oil and water, anyone?
I know, I know, opposites attract. It's a classic trope. But still, their initial dynamic feels a bit...forced? Like they were just thrown together and told to make it work.
The instant declaration of love? I'm calling shenanigans. That's some serious infatuation, not love.
Maybe I'm just a cynic. Maybe I'm missing the point. But that first episode left me with more questions than answers.
Unpopular Opinion Time
Okay, here's my potentially controversial take: I wasn't immediately sold on the romance. Shocking, I know!
It felt rushed. Unearned. Like the writers just wanted to get to the "will they/won't they" part as quickly as possible.
Don't get me wrong, I see the potential. Haru's vulnerable side is endearing. And Shizuku clearly has a heart buried under all those textbooks.
But that first episode? It felt more like a setup than a genuine connection. Maybe it's just me?
Ultimately, My Little Monster is entertaining. It's quirky and has a certain charm.
But that first episode? It's not my favorite. I'm hoping it gets better as the series progresses! Tell me I'm not alone!
