| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not too shabby but I'm not really too impressed by the first episode. We do have the main cast introduced in a school setting. Some of the characters' personalities are more goofier than others. Private Tenshou Gakuen has a rather complex system that I find more interesting than the cast itself. Got to hear a song near the end of the episode. I wonder how many unique songs we'll hear in this anime.. |

| Male idol show in cold war era Berlin |
KANLen09 said: Another Ensemble Stars? Get this shitty idol show outta the road... Men aren't the targeted audience. And this is an adaptation of a vocaloid project which involved seiyuus covering songs. Not really idols. |
KANLen09 said: Nah, they're pretty different. I've read a bit on this series from the translations out there and yeah it's not like Enstars.Another Ensemble Stars? Get this shitty idol show outta the road... Put that negativity out of here and watch an anime you will enjoy instead of coming into this thread. |
| What I found interesting is that Ono Yuuiki is voicing another redhaired character. And the first episode was awesome. |
| The troubled/quiet main character and the outgoing. Hope I don't forget all the characters. |
| The music is amazing in this anime :) Can't wait for more songs! |

| This seems interesting, although it's going to take another episode or two before I remember all the characters' names. It's certainly better than Ensemble Stars, at least. |

| live posting: huh, ghosts. wonder if they'll be activated by the singing alright, a wall, huh? sleeves past hands, yess!! love that trope. usually see it on characters wearing scientist coats with sleeves too long for them, tho. guess sleeve-boy is one of the main three, then... Pfft, he's playing a piano with his fingers covered by his long sleeves. oh no, cyber cats. they wanna destroy you with cuteness nice, late to class toast girl in the background. oh, nice, they mentioned it wow, that's a lot of kids of different ages and knowledge levels to cater to... oh no, vocaloid. Is Hatsune Miku gonna show up as a character somewhere? heh, Ryo's crying over it wait, the wall has.. grown? o no, fungi o no, we got our angry edgy boy oh damn, you could see the shape of the hand when he reached into his pocket *furiously takes notes* well, this white wall mystery is quite intriguing... geez, his eyes really are as blindingly orange as his hair... ti's kinda creepy. Cue meaningless shots of boys we don't know yet doing their club activities as the day gets later... ooh, the vocaloid P dude is the headphones one, makes sense Aww, Nozomi is cuuu~te o no, secret talking with the doctor... huh, they kinda remind me of animism oh, there's the cyber cat dude, Harumoto... Having cameras all over the town tho... kinda creepy alright, sleeve boy arrives at the end, huh? With a stunt I would expect of his outfit too, lol. "Uta Outa"? Pfft wtf, the preview section isn't subbed? laaame ~~ this is the first all-boys music anime i've ever watched, so I'm not sure what to think of this yet, lol |

| Well not too much happened but it was cute. Boy has a nice voice. |
| I'm not gonna be sorry for the first hate of such idol-esque shows (as regarding to my earlier comment), but gonna give it a second chance (feel free to hit me up to clarify the genre). As it as and I will say again, new studios always bring something new to the table, and this is no exception. Although I have no idea what studio Drive will have for this series, guess we'll just have to wait and see, but for alleviation of the intense (and underpaid) anime industry in Japan, it's one of many newbie studios with people looking to break the mold. And of course, getting acquainted with the many characters is the 1st step. Great for such series like this, but if it ends up being a generic fusion of SoL and music elements, it gets boring pretty fast. Plus, characterization is extremely important, so I'd guess that the staff would NOT want to pass the opportunity here. Judging by the title, I'd presume that the songs the characters want to sing are connected to their lives and their measure of impact. Mostly a set-up episode, but I'm gonna keep my expectations low for now. |

| That was beautiful singing by Saku, I was just as impressed as Kagura by his singing and emotional song. The animation looks nice, the music seems good so far and it's anime, so let's get it and get lit baby! |

| really liked this first ep, strikes me as a hidden gem of the season, hope it holds up |
 |
| Ok, the characters.... Right off the bat, we have - A HINATA! With matching colour theme to boot! And just beating that other one to the start line, too! o/ Satsuma feels like an amalgamation of several characters, I've seen too many blue megane over the years and he feels a little "off" to each of those - a little softer, a little less tense, a little different blue.... Ryou is Miira no Kaikata's Daichi, glad to see he was given a role in another series. Kai is like a 98.45% perfect clone of Dream Festival's Itsuki. Mike (thank the GODS they didn't go for "English" pronunciation as a nickname) is - I have a feeling we've also seen him elsewhere, but the colours match Dream Festival's Kanade (that last shot of him in the water in the preview really made me feel like I was looking at him), and he seems to be a major tsundere, so default favourite there. Kagura apparently has some secrets, but his general demeanour and appearance makes him one of the bests for now. And we've really only met Uta literally for a brief introduction, he feels like a diet version of Ayato Yuri. Is the halfwit speech a persistent thing, or does he just have moments? The setting, as in the location itself: a giant, sprawling education complex that covers guys and girls, and all ages too? Ok, that's not something I personally have seen before. And with the few random shots we've been given in the first episode, it's quite well established that we have a feel of it too, so congrats. Something that big often proves too difficult to manage, especially when introducing this many characters. Still, though the cast is big, at least it doesn't look like we'll be meeting several new people in every episode. The hospital scene, as short as it is, manages to build some background, and then the flashback expands that, which is great, because it puts some substance under the surface of "pretty boys singing songs". Kagura falling in love with Saku, I mean Saku's singing, was absolutely beautiful too (THAT FACE!!), as well as the entire scene being splattered with random "lifescapes" from different parts of the city. Then the way the white shadows actually looked and behaved, to me it certainly seems at least less generic than what I expected at first. Overall, I'm looking forward to this series. It might not end up anything exceptional, but it does look just like what the doctor ordered for me. |

| omg, I really impressed by Gakuto's (Otonomiya) voice |
 |
| It was overall decent. Hard to remember all the names but it's only the first episode. |
| It was kinda ok for a show like this, but I got the feeling that it tries too hard to be different and more complicated than it actually should. All the supernatural elements seem weird so far and even though it's nice that there's a somewhat interesting plot apart from usual idol singing but at the same time I wouldn't want it to end up falling flat as a whole. MC's singing voice is really good though and the animation looks better than I expected. |
  |
| First episode seems so-so for me. MC has a good voice though so there's that. How the heck did he get so into singing a song like that in public though, lmfao, wild. |
 |
| not really feeling this show at all...so its gonna be 3 episode rule just for this one cuz there's a lot of show this Fall-2019 2/5. the EF!? Asta can sing!?!? |

| it appears as your typical school idol anime at first then it becomes supernatural and then mystery and then back to singing in the end? sounds like someone combined too many genre into one. it's ok if it's just two or three genre, like Carole and Tuesday's singing/drama/sci-fi (futuristic), but this one is way too many and they don't even mix that well together. some of the characters' voices also grates on my ears. and their character designs so far are very stereotypical. and how the hell is that pink cutesy guy able to play piano with his long sleeves covering his hands??!! well, at least the song is good. |
| Gave it a go, but it's not for me. I'll check in every now and again if I manage to catch up with the rest of this season. |
| Story looks, at least, a bit interesting, I must admit first episode was better than my (very low) expectations for this show, so it's a good surprise, don't seems to be good though, but average/watchable. |
