All jokes aside, I thought this was a really brilliant first episode. At first glance, it seems to resemble Kimi ni Todoke a lot. The main character, Mei, is an outcast and scorned by her classmates, but still manages to catch the eye of Yamato, the school's most popular boy. That's where the similarities end. Mei, unlike Sawako, chose isolation instead of friends and is perfectly okay with that, especially if it means never being betrayed or hurt. The tone is seemingly darker, and from what I've read, the manga that the anime is adapted from touches on a lot more mature issues.
