Interesting so far. I like the atmosphere. On the other hand I really don't like how they kind of ripped off the character design of K-On. It's really bugging me. Though other than that and the theme of music, I can't really compare it to K-On so far.

Well, off to the next one!

Kanata is hopeless. Fun series by the looks of it though.

Or maybe it's a fun series because she is hopeless.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Fantastic first episode, this has definitely caught my interest. That scene with Kanata playing the trumpet in the dark crevice was just perfect. The music is lovely as well. Kanata is adorable too, especially when she was trying to play the morning call.

I like this more than I probably I should.

If it's just cute girls in military uniforms doing cute things then that's kewl too.

Something I had to say in the middle of the episode -
Ok I know the main character is supposed to be this lovable idiot, but come on!!! Is she supposed to be a soldier?! She's late because of a goddamn bell???

But it doesn't matter, the animation is so good ^^

I like the feeling and the artwork of the anime. It might be pretty obvious but the characters remind me of K-ON. The opening song is very different and not quite my taste but I did enjoy the ending song. Hope the series will continue to be great and not fail my expectations.
This explains my opinion one the anime almost completely, but still I'd like to note that while my opinion on the OP was the same at first, when the legend of the fire maidens was revealed, I kinda got better the choice for the OP, and I actually like it better than the moe ending. It also has that old classical sounding.

For what's left, I like Kanata, I maybe even love her :D For more, I'll have to see more of the anime, but I agree that some kind of plot would come well.


Anyways, what killed me, were the comments on this episode :D

And why are there a Japanese festival, German uniforms and French songs mixed in, when it looks like Spain to me.

If it delves into more than just ridiculous moe girls trying to play trumpets, I'll be quite surprised.

I hate moeshit, this looks a lot like fucking K-On!

In the anime world, 15 year old moeblobs like Kanata are able to enlist in the army.

Pretty funny start, a pretty neutral atmosphere but the concept seems rather interesting, well let's see what this series has to offer us!

Thought it was a pretty great episode to start of the show, makes me wonder where it goes wrong due it being rated pretty low on MAL.

I was intrigued by the synopsis, military + sol is something new but this setting doesn't seem half bad here. The episode was rather average but main girl is a qtie so I'll check out some more.

I can't even handle how adorable the main character is - its going to kill me
ED theme is adorable as well

The Purple haired character seems interesting, lots of potential for character reveals

Can't wait to see where this goes!

Not sure if I'm into this or not yet, but there's some potential.

The animation looks really pretty, even though the character designs look uncomfortably similar to K-On's.

The ending is gay though.

K-on + Aria = Sora no Woto

That OP song is music to my ears.

Hmmm, i like it. waiting to see more and get familiar with the atmosphere.
But from the starting point, Anime was fun for me.

I too agree that there are K-on sign in looks of the characters. and that's a good thing.

I liked the atmosphere and OP is Kalafina!! That Legendary Kalafina!! Song were not that great though.

I love Musical genre and this time instrument is trumpet.

What the?? Main characters really resemble K-ON, Oh My Dog!!

I also love the country setting! Its in Spain and I gotta know the tradition there.

Bad trumpet performance at the end is hilaros!

Fan of ED song!!

Wow. I think that I found another masterpiece. It was... Just wow. Wonderful atmosphere, great animation and backgrounds. Character design highly K-on inspired, but not like it's a disadvantage.
Dub = fake crap. Always.

Japanese characters in Pseudo-France, is this a prequel to Gochiusa?

This was kind of a weak start in my opinion, both in terms of worldbuilding and character introduction. The dialogue felt a bit unnatural as well, don't know how I feel about it. Although it does have a unique charm to it and the scenery is great. This show looks like it has the potential to be amazing but could go bland as well. We'll see.

I liked the first episode. Kind of curious what that one girl was carrying during that dye splash fight scene. That backstory is quite curious as well on how this world came to be how it is. It seems to be early 1900s. They have motorcycles and trains so that makes me wonder when are they.

Random note: that motorcycle scene looked great.

Solid first episode with a wonderful atmosphere, in particular.

Character introductions were so-so but I suppose that's for the next episode.

Backstory seemed fairly interesting too and I'm curious what those bones underwater really signify.

Definitely in for more!

For an anime made 11 years ago, the animation is surprisingly modern and acceptable in our times.

Why this look like a military version of K-ON!?

Excellent first episode. Much better than I expected. Beautiful landscapes and relaxing atmosphere.

Maybe this is a little similar to K-On! but that show was a straight-up comedy and I have a feeling this is going to be something different.

I suppose it's time I started watching this one since it's been on my PTW for Tsunami-sama knows how long. lol

So far one of the strongest facets is definitely the music. I love the OP!~ I was getting a Studio Ghibli impression with the setting and even my brother (who watched the first episode with me) brought up similar thoughts.

&++ idk if it's 'cause both anime are done by the same studio or something, but Rio resembles and reminds me of an older Chihaya from Idolm@ster
