Looks okay so far, hope there's no harem or triangles.

OP/ED were lovely too.

Left a really good first impression on me, hope it'll continue for the rest of the series.
22 glorious episodes :D
The art and animation was absolutely stunning, and the OP/ED were so cute too <3
Wasn't expecting Kaori to like the MC's friend :I

Really loved it! The execution of the episode seemed perfect for me.

Somehow Kaori reminded me of Chihayafuru's Chihaya from when I was watching the PV, and Ryouta as Sasayan from Tonari no Kaibustu-kun.

Wait wait, A hyperactive blonde main heroine who likes a different guy? a childhood friend who obviously likes the mc? a guy friend who is popular? am I watching Golden Time again?


This is better than GT imo, dont get me wrong, GT had massive potential but becamse shitty really, REALLY quickly, specially cause Koko is shit and Banri is a mtf idiot, Kaori until chapter 17 of the manga seems like a good girl, hyperactive... well, not so much, the MC is light years over Banri.

Glasses guy is bleeding all over his face while they have a warm conversation....I'm sorry but what? lol

That's what makes it funny xD

I liked it a lot, I love the animation, the backgrounds, the characters and the story, if it continues as good as this episode I might give it a 10 in the end. Romance ftw!

thinking of watching this, but before i do, would like to know if after the 1st episode did you got an impression that there will be some love trangles/polygons (stuff i hate) ?

I don't think so, maybe we're gonna see Watari ending up with Sawabe and Arima with Miyazono.

This is from manga, some chapters ahead so it's full of spoilers

This is the one. Looks like AOTS contender already.

Stellar first episode. Solid animations and voice acting. Music is gonna be great I can tell. I just hope they didn't blow a good chunk of their funding on the first episode.

I really wish that everyone would stop comparing this anime to those two other Jousei anime that have to do with playing instruments.

It's because they are similar.

Blood. What a promising first episode. I liked it. Since the tags have drama, I'll have to expect some sad scenes in the following episodes. But wow! This was actually good. That last part where Kaori invited Kousei to come watch her while holding his hand was nice.

...........MAYUKA!!!!!! ummmm......... ummmm........ I did not think you were watching this anime..... ummm...... JOSEI RULES!!!!!! =D

I'd watch anything with a music theme lol Don't worry, I'm not criticizing you, but like I understand why people'd compare this to various anime like Sakamichi, Nodame, H&C and even non-shoujo/joseis. They all have similar things.

Too many cliches to count. This is typical overly dramatic manipulative bullshit. Go watch Nodame Cantabile for something with similar themes that's a million times better and far more realistic.

It's only the first episode. Chill. Have you read the manga? No.
It's shounen, that's why it's based off lots of common tropes. I'm not complaining though. Cliche =/= bad.

Quite the compelling and bold episode. Really like the colorful tones of this anime hence the name of the episode "Monotone/Colorful". The characters all seem to be very energetic and really flows along nicely with the atmosphere of this show. I cannot wait for the next episode as shit gon go down.

Final/Random Thoughts: Don't like the lips, it's just a huge NOPE to me; They sure don't look 14 especially knowing how they looked like 4 years before it's just like "DAYUM Puberty got them gud"

This was absolutely gorgeous. The colors were breathtaking, and while the lips on the characters are sorta weird, they all look so nice! I mean, even their movements flow easily. I really, really like this anime, and I can't wait to find out more about the characters!

5/5, totally, for this episode!

There's always that one anime with the top-notch animation and story. So far, at least what I think, this is that 'one'.

Also loving the OP and ED so much. I have high hopes for this seasonnn

7.5/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Eh. Seems kind of dumb, but visually it's nice enough and the OST should be solid. I'm also stoked that Ayane Sakura is voicing one of the mains, so I'll stick with it for now.

I really do like the look of this, my only real gripe is that storytelling thing in anime which I don't like, the whole "random depressing backstory with no real transition or lead up" it just sort of went straight into one from nowhere.

It looked really good, I just hope it doesn't do the typical A-1 pictures thing and go dramatically down hill visual wise after 3-4 episodes..

Cutting the third movement of moolight sonata right in the middle was pretty much an orgasm breaker. I guess I can hope for more classical music and less comedy-like moments.

I kind of dislike when MC are pussies and pushovers. This one seems like a pushover. If he didn't wanted to go, then he should of taken her hand away and left. But then again, end of story.

This was a pretty fantastic episode. I'm not a music lover by any means, but I kind of want to be while watching this show.

Plus the feels already started to twinge upon me ever so slightly, I can't imagine how I'll feel as the series progresses...

I'm definitely on board with this one, it might be one of my favorites of the season so far!
