The director who decided to keep the manga vibe in the anime definitely deserves a raise.

I love how Yamai *casually* kidnaps Tadano and everyone is fine with it

0% fanservice, 0% opening clichés 100% the best anime opening

the synth from 0:10 to 0:26 is so satisfying to listen to

When you look at the lyrics it’s just basically Tadano being there for Komi and it fits so perfectly

I love the scene of Komi jumping into the pool with everyone. To her it’s a huge leap in life to start making friends and to everyone else it’s just a little splash in the pool. At least that’s how I took it

There’s ain’t no way this is already a whole year old 😭

Its been 2 years already I'm still praying for a season 3.

Ah, Komi descending from heaven like the angel she is.

you know the op is good when you can use every second of the op as a wallpaper.

I can listen to this song forever. This is one of my favourite anime’s. I like how it is more slow-paced, versus all the “fantasy action-packed adventures” I usually watch. It is really cute and it sends a nice message.

For some reason this opening feels nostalgic. It's not even old, it just felt that way to me the moment I first heard it.

Never read the manga but that first episode when Tadano started talking with the chalkboard made me tear up/get all choked up like he was talking to me

Me before watching the anime: "I’m not interested, but I know it’s something people have been waiting for a long time." Me after the first episode: *"This is possibly the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a long time."*

I absolutely love at 0:33 Yamai singing along, then the cut to Najimi also singing with Agari just vibing.

This first season really hits different once you actually read the whole thing. It’s so mind blowing that this series and these characters have come so far. To think that this all started with a normal boy and a socially awkward and friendless girl who can only communicate though a notebook is so mind blowing when you look at how they are now

Fun fact: The blue flowers that appear everywhere in this opening are bluebells which are the symbol of everlasting love and gratitude. This fits the anime really well aye Edit: They resemble forget-me-nots way more than blue bells, but at least they have a similar meaning

I can see this OP going to be one of the “Best” or “Classic” anime OP in the near future and I'm glad to be a part of it

Moral of the story: If you are shy then have good looks and everyone will want to be friends with you

Im so thankful for Tomohito Oda for creating this show

The OP perfectly fits the anime. Cidergirl and Studio OLM, we tip our hats to you for the perfect adaptation!

Komi’s hand trembling in the star sign at 1:27 but still being present and part of the group is probs my favorite moment of the OP.

Petition to add more Shousuke scenes in the next season!!!

please season 3

Yoooooo, this OP is clean as Komi-san's mind

This may not be everyone's favorite show of the year, but honestly, as someone who is constantly nervous of speaking and struggling to make friends in junior year of high school, I feel like this was just the show I needed. :)

the friendship between Tadano and Komi is very pure and gold

This will forever be my comfort anime

1:15 is my favorite part, it just so satisfying. Tadano's mouth synching with the singing and also the lyric is "do you want to see the cat together?" With a really vibrant blue color palette ughh. I always screamed at that part

Honestly, the most beautiful thing about this intro is the fact that it portrays Komi’s social anxiety as if she were adrift in the ocean of her own mind, and everyone, especially Tadano, is trying to reach her. Absolutely beautiful symbolism.

its funny that 5 to 8 years from now we are gonna look back on this opening with nostalgia.

I got social anxiety during the pandemic, I got so shy after the quarantine regulations started being less strict. It was hard to interact with people, it feels like you're being judged every moment. But this year I am somewhat getting used to normal interactions with people. This show was relatable in so many ways that it brought me to tears.

I love this anime's way of going from a beautifully designed Komi to a simple ass design of Komi with big shock eyes.

As a manga reader trust me yall are going to love this show

It's not just the graphic of the OP, the music itself is really good. It's catchy, fun, and i think it represents about our youth should be, full of love, fun moments, and amazing stories with friends.

The violin in the background goes hard af

I love how if you look at their mouths you can catch them singing along Yamai: 0:32 Najimi: 0:35 Komi: 0:36 Najimi (again): 0:42 Komi (again): 0:49 Tadano: 1:16 I love this detail

Just imagine how nostalgic this song will become when the show ends omfggg

This op is still goated

When I thought I was an alien and then this series comes up. This felt like an autobiography except that I’m ugly😭

Can we all just agree this is one of the best op's we've seen so far? The animation, the symbolism, it's just fire

i genuinely love the anime's take on the manga's animated art style. normally they'd just do the generic modern anime look in the 2010's but this combines the old 90's aesthetic while adding in this modern era of design as an addition. very fucking amazing

*WE WANT SEASON 3 AND MORE*

man, i love the way that when she jumps into the pool, she has a perspective of falling from the clouds like its one big step to making friends, whiel to the others its just a simple splash

I’ve never heard of this manga. My first exposure was through Netflix and I was intrigued by the concept. I struggled (and continue to battle) with social anxieties and communication difficulties, so it’s refreshing to see the message that anyone can be afflicted by it. Now that I’ve watched the 1st episode, and listened to the OP, I’m hooked. Let’s get Komi some friends!

Since everybody is saying what part is their favorite, here goes mine. 0:40, it simply warms my heart seeing the group of friends getting progressively bigger, starting first with tadano and najimi

The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American long-range wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777 is the world's largest twinjet and the most-built wide-body airliner. The jetliner was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's other wide body airplanes, the twin-engined 767 and quad-engined 747, and to replace aging DC-10 and L-1011 trijets. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 program was launched in October 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype was rolled out in April 1994, and first flew in June. The 777 entered service with the launch operator United Airlines in June 1995. Longer-range variants were launched in 2000, and first delivered in 2004.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WATCHED IT FROM THE FIRST TIME EPISODE 1 CAME OUT, I WAITED EVERY WEEK FOR THE NEW EPISODE, TIME FELT SO FAST

Najimi pouncing on the beat 0:34 triggers something in my brain Edit: i created war

After watching the first ep, I immediately went to read all 300+ chaps and I've got something to say, I understand the hype and fame

Can we all agree that tadano is definitely a gigachad

Honestly the best part about this opening is the chalkboard scene from episode one. This scene brought tears to my eyes and I absolutely adore this series. Watching the growth of both Komi and Tadano in a school full of loveable oddballs is wholesome, heartwarming and wonderful.❤❤❤

Coming back here at least every year to listen to this. 2021:✅ 2022:✅ 2023:✅ 2024:✅

Literally, Best anime OP of this season. And Animation

Coming back here to remember how amazing it felt when this op dropped, its been such a long time 😭😭

I've just finished the 24 episodes and I already want a season 3 so badly

I love the first part where she drops from the sky into the high school, it really shows how hard, sudden and scary it is for her. And the impact from the landing isn't just how she feels but how her classmates feel about her... GOD TIER

I know I am late to the party, but I just noticed something interesting At the first half of the OP, you can see that Komi's world (everytime she is in frame) is gray, full of sadness and loneliness whereas outside the classroom that she is in, the world is colorful. That is until the breakthrough moment at 0:53. The determination of fitting in can be seen in her eyes (a brief second of close up shot where her eyes are full of color). She rushes out of that dark classroom and join her friends at the pool. From that point onwards she is not so lonely anymore, and her world has colors again. That is just my analysis. I am a fan of the manga and I'm excited to watch the Anime . But I'm kinda scared to, because as someone who has Social Anxiety myself, I know watching this is gonna hit hard :')

watching komi gets comfortable and being able to talk around tadano is so adorable im so proud of her that she can finally talk and get comfortable with other people 😭

Its 2023, and I've just now saw this? I didn't know this was from 2021-

I love whoever animated Komi running out of the class then bracing herself against the wall to change direction. It's such a natural human move that I would have never thought of

Komi is the first character that made be like “ayyy I do that too…” while slowing drowning in the thought of “ohhh…I do that too”.

I LOVE THIS SONG ,ITS MY CURE FOR ANITHING!!!

it's been 3 years 🥺

Good news, Komi fans - season 2 has been announced for April of 2022!

My fav part of this op was from 0:34 - 0:36 something about the rythm and beat of that part just felt really nice

I like how in the opening, the characters are singing the song

SEASON 3 NOW

Banger music, genius storyboarding, emphasized humor that's actually funny, clever use of manga panels and text... Holy Shit.

This opening nearly brought me to tears, and I’m not one to cry often. There’s just some unexplainable beauty circling about it that i can’t describe. It’s like a switch goes on in my head every single time I watch this. 0:52-1:00 is my favorite. No, everything is my favorite. This *intro* is my favorite. It’s just so perfect

The way they sing parts of the song is just ✨ chefs kiss✨

God man, i knew about Komi for awhile now. But now that i've actually seen it. I didn't expect to relate to it as much as i did. Like, no joke. The first scene with the chalkboard moved me to tears. I wouldn't say my "condition" is nearly as severe. But it sucks, and i still struggle to this day. So it's nice to get a really well known character that really represents me and people like me.

I can't help but smile every time i watch this show. It's so adorable.

1:19... that shot of them then it turns to the first time they "talk". The chalkboard scene is gonna feel so nostalgic when both the manga and anime end. Knowing that both of them started communicating through writing, as it was the most personal and only viable way to "talk" for these main characters. Both were alone but had eachother, writing on that board to talk to one another. It gives such good vibes when that part hits.

It's barely been a year, yet this opening already feels nostalgic to me.

Only been 2 years but this song gives me nostalgia for some reason 😭

I can feel this anime becoming a cult classic among slice of life and wholesome romance fans. I read the manga, it's that good.

Round of applause to Studio OLM for not only tackling a series many other studios refused to attempt, but also making it one of the most beautiful anime of the year

This song lives rent free in my head ever today, am I weird?

i swear i always find myself relating with all of the different characters , this show deserves a metal:)

this anime is unnecessarily high quality… i love it

All my life, I’ve hardly ever seen characters in media that I could genuinely relate to. So when I discovered this show and realized the main character was finally one I could heavily relate to in so many ways, I literally cried. It’s always going to hold a special place in my heart ❤️

I started watching this anime just a few months ago and it already became my favorite one. Everything about it is just plain golden. The plots, the characters (especially Najimi), the humor... Everything!

WE NEED SEASON 3!!!!!!!

The comments here made me read the manga after I watched episode 6. And all I gotta say is that yes, Komi is the main protagonist (I mean her name is literally the title) But other than this show about Komi trying to make friends, Its also about how Tadano is standing out as himself. Tadano is always described as an ordinary and average guy by everyone. This series soon progress as everyone sees how he's different from ordinary. In the anime, he can "read minds" but it goes on to how observant and perceptive he is with people's feelings and emotions (surprising how he's so clueless about romantic feelings tho). He basically try his best as a president, friend and classmate. For slight manga spoilers, his classmates start to see that too, heck they even support him by silently shipping him with Komi. This post might sound like a Tadano appreciation post, but it is. Chadano deserves the world😭😭

1:29 this jump is a MASTERPIECE 😍❤🔥

I hope it gets a season 3

This op gives me goosebumps every single time I watch it since I've read the manga. It's just so great to see how far Komi and Tadano have come.

Najimi´s Hippity Hoppity matches perfectly with the beat in 00:34

1:04 that's one *HEAVY* cat

We demand for season 3

I just realized every frame of this video can be used as a wallpaper

Komi-San Opening = *PERFECCIÓN* 🔥🔥🔥

the beat at 0:11 is SOOOO GOOD , i haven't hear beat that good in a while,

How cute it is when someone is there to encourage and support you for your social anxiety

This opening is honestly pretty underrated

Let's be honest: All of us watching this want a friend like tadano and komi

In like 10 years this opening is gonna be seen as a classic

I can't believe it's almost a year now since this came out...

The first scene where komi jumps from sky *oh* *my* *god* That has a special place in my *heart*
