What a coincidence that these two idiots, both going to law school, can't read a map and meet each other stalking two girls who "seem to know the way" to the college. That slight lapse in logic aside, Tada seems stuck between new friend Mitsuo and new friend's supposed fiance Kaga. What comes from here can most easily be described as "hijinks ensue." After said hijinks, Tada, now alone, gets mobbed by literally every club at the school. A scene described in the show as a war zone.
The premise as outlined by Crunchyroll was not even touched on until 20 minutes into the first episode, which raises huge questions. Like, "Why would you hold off on bringing up the premise of your show until 20 minutes into the first episode?" That's easily something that could be teased in the first scene or brought up earlier or done anything with at all.
Golden Time's very premise interests me, but only slightly and not if it's going to be like this. One thing happened in the episode in regards to the plot, and it took a long time to get to that point. The characters, however, were set up pretty well. At least Kaga and Mitsuo were, disregarding their current stereotypes. Kaga is the haughty woman who wants it her way or the highway, but will likely turn to pudding if the right guy comes along. And Mitsuo is the hapless guy trapped in the relationship with the haughty girl, trying desperately to get out. I imagine the rest of the series won't be so slow, but we'll see. I'm tentative about the next episode.
Rating: 2/5
