| I forwarded it everytime they started singing twinkle twinkle little star or went lalalala-ing again, I can't stand it but so far the story has kept me interested so going to keep watching:D |

| The episode wasn't what I was expecting but I think it was necessary and in the end I can say I appreciated it. Now we understand pretty much everything about Nino, Momo and Yuzu's relationships in the past. I have some expectations for the next episode: the story should actually take off now since we have all the elements to understand it. The recurring Twinkle Twinkle Star song was a little annoying, but on one hand, children often get fixated on something till the point they do test one's patience, so it's kind of very realistic. I really liked Yuzu's flashbacks to be honest, he's very sweet and I liked that he proposed again to write songs for her so she doesn't feel sad. I look forward the moment Momo will actually join the story too though, it can turn out very interesting. |

| I still think the most redeeming quality of this show is when Alice is paired with instruments...unfortunately, this episode did not have that. Instead, we got the repeated gimmick of this show of Alice singing without a backing band (I already have enough real life annoyances with this). Other than that. I have some other gripes. The character interactions still feel stale with only a few moments that barely work for me. Speaking of the characters, despite knowing the three main characters' backstories, I can still do not care at all about them.Then there are the side characters, who are even worse than our mains. A bit of the dialogue also is "praise the main dialogue" and already have enough to hate about that in SAO...I'd rather not have it here. Still do think it has some decent animation in places though... Safe to say, this show is shaping to be one of the worst of the season for me. |
| Ahh well, I expected this episode to be awkward and a bit cringey given the cliched and unrealistic nature of the background story, so I guess it wasn't too bad. At least they got that part done now. The last scene with Yuzu and Nino was cute though. Looking forward to the next episode, I hope we'll see more of Inohari. |
 |
| interesting backstory, though I'm geting annoyed with the twinkle, twinkle, then lalalala.Looking for some badass music next time. Well nice OP we have here. |
 |
| Wow. Very drama. Much suffering... Really, everytime I hear that Lalala song or her singing I have urge to break something o_O Add all that cringe writing around and you have weapon of mass destruction. Six years later and she's still in love with her childhood friend without ever seeing him again? Depressed even? Come on! The main heroine is such onedimensional and stupid character that you want to punch her everytime she speaks. And that's bad because she the centerpiece of this anime. The main problem of this show is that they didn't really grow up, their personalities are pretty much carbon copy of how they were back then, still naive, still frozen in time. And there wasn't any good element added that would bring twist to this cliche... The only good scene in this episode was the very last one, the rest of it was just utterly bad. And due to needlessly long flashback we even didn't get to the point where she meets him again, they just postponed the inevitable. I originally wanted to drop this right after this episode yet they delayed their meeting so I will have to watch one more, just for laughs. Mind me, this isn't even any close to be a trainwreck material, I'm only curious how worse this could get when catalyst scene happens. |
hattada said: JPthugnificent said: It wasn't just the 'lalala' but also the voice, the way her face is animated when she sings, and even the timing of the singing can be super awkward. how can voice awkward, I don't get it she sings like little girl supposed to sing, I don't have problem with how they animated that, the timing is she supposed to not like listening to people and just sing randomly just like in manga How can anything be awkward? It's awkward bc it's awkward to me. Yea, and I didn't like how she kept interrupting other people to sing. If I was in the shoes of people who were cut off by her singing, I'd be a little more pissed, and maybe acted like that shaved head kid. 'Just like in the manga' huh, this is anime, not manga. If it doesn't work in the animation medium, you change it to make it fit, not keep it the same as the original source. |

| The only thing Alice knows how to do is make noise...ANNOYING noise. She's literally the most annoying factor of this whole show. Which SUCKS because I want to like this show and it has potential, but the annoying singing and the consistent twinkle twinkle makes it very hard not to head desk. If this was a drinking game with shots, you'd be drunk by the end of the episode if not 4/5ths through. The two guys aren't the problem, it's all Alice. If she could be less annoying then maybe the anime would have some redemption. |

| I'm getting so annoyed by the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song. First Bang Dream, now this. |

Hirugiku said: xExrael said: way too much Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and LALALAs. it's annoying af i'm glad we got those flashbacks so early, makes everything easy to understand p.s. am i the only one who thinks that Hayami Saori was a bad decision for this character? don't get me wrong, i love her voice when she speaks or when she sings ballads, but Nino needs a more powerful voice... DUDE. exactly my thoughts... She doesn't suit for Nino(Alice) i fell like the character is great, but it's her voice (Hayama Saori) that makes her annoying I'm on the same boat, Hayami has a pretty and soothing voice which doesn't fit Nino at all. Also, la la la's can sound pretty and NOT annoying. Not sure if that was Hayami's fault or the director/sound director or all of them for that decision. Yes not all kids are musically inclined, but she's supposed to have a unique voice at the very least but the Twinkle Star and the lalala's were neither unique nor pretty to listen to. Really wished they could've at least made the lalala's flow better, like legato those notes. That voice alone should not have sounded impressive to Yuzu. Well I think the worst part is over, I never really found Nino to be annoying in the manga. I'm more interested on the music side of things for the adaptation anyways. |

Nah, how old are you for you who still doesn't get it, it looks just fine even in animation medium. That is her personality that she tends to pretent that she doesn't listen when someone say bad news or she doesn't know how to reapond to that person. How can you think to change character personality you make no sense. She also doing it only when they won't interupted as if she would be rude to them she only do thing like that if the person she talks with is close enough. Also she didn't interrupt baldy or her friends in that class, baldy only complain because she always sings too loud. Pay attention next time and use your sense, rather than just criticize for the sake of criticize ...just realized this account only has 1 anime in its list, and it's Fukumenkei Noise CW on episode 1... *facepalm* Welp. Ya got me. Good job with the troll. Or maybe I'm the dumbass who fell for it. |

You don't know troll do you, once again you shown you have low level mental age, Troll is those who create account just to put down other show to make it have low rating. I tries to defend this show, so what? I like the source material so much, and people seems like too stupid too understand even when they try to adapt it like how the manga suggested. Try convincing me when you have more things watched on your list. kthnxbye. Good job with the spelling errors and shitty grammar by the way. Really played the troll convincingly. |

Takuan_Soho said: JPthugnificent said: Try convincing me when you have more things watched on your list.kthnxbye. How can he be a troll when he honestly answered you. Alice is supposed to be a bit annoying at first, this is why she doesn't have any friends except the two she met as a child. Her voice is also supposed to be raw, but with potential that singing the right song can pull out of her. She can't be perfect yet. Now, the whether the VA had the vocal chops to pull an Alice when she does click remains to be seen, but you are objecting to the plot of the story, and the guy who responded (who obviously has read it (and doesn't seem to be a native English speaker) was just trying to point this out to you. Because apparently I can't have opinions anymore. I just threw in my two cents about how the voice performance was pretty grating to me but the dude with 1 entry on his list comes in to 'correct my ways' Also don't tell me he 'honestly answered me' when he starts bringing up age to the argument. ...never mind. I'll just do what I should've done and just drop the thing instead of putting up with this charade. |

I bringing up age because you don't understand how her character archetype is like that and said it doesn't fit anime heh really...and you can't even actually state what is awkward voice is like, I never said you can't give your opinion I don't reply to anyone that has also stated their opinion clearly but you I don't understand you, you can just say her voice is too grating for you and I would not even reply too you at all 'Guess it wasn't just me that felt the singing was both awkward and annoying...' That was my original comment. It's clearly saying what I felt like. What don't you get? Honestly I was gonna give this series one more episode, but you've basically ruined it for me. Way to be a condescending asshole. Real mature. Congrats. Now go away. |

| The complete clusterfuck that was the end of the last episode is finally cleared up, but this episode was still way too painful to watch. Once again anime is giving 2nd graders more intellect and awareness than they actually have. |
| sigh, a maiden's heart is complex it hurt seeing Yuzu find out that the Momo Alice misses was actually a guy. hmm I wonder what's the reason for why Yuzu doesn't want to sing though |
 |
| I get that she likes to sing loudly and full of raw emotion, but I always forget to turn down my vol before watching this show.. especially during flashbacks.. her voice can be a little piercing... I dk but I feel everything is like going so fast.... it's like their burning through a book quickly. Episode constraints? This felt like a 24 episoder to me. or rather, it has the potential to.. no real gripes with it but i just feel its better if they slow it down a little bit.. |
 |
| Why would she have a seizure when she sings? God that was irritating just sing normally Promising story, Momo seems like a piece of shit but we'll see |
| Oh wow. This episode is terrible. Too much la la las that it came to the point where the whole thing becomes annoying. The drama is over reaction as well. I've never seen a bunch of kids act like that. |
 |
| Ah, backstory episode. Honestly I feel bad for Yuzu getting dragged into it, but I feel like I might like Momo better. I didn't like how at the end Yuzu was getting possessive.. |
| This melody is fucking annoying |
 |
| Another good show with shit ratings, MAL never fails to disappoint me. |
| My high hopes are dropping so quickly... Nino wasn't this annoying in the manga For those who don't read the manga as long as the story stays the same the LA LA LA will disappear soon well appear less. |
| May our fates intertwine verily. - Noragami |
| My ears are bleeding after all that screaming. :-/ Twinkle song is slowly killing me, if there's anime about music there's always this piece of crap. Awkward and unattractive character design, especially when they 'sing'. What 4th grader speaks, acts and thinks like that? So many minuses, it's unbearable. |
 |
| It might only be the 2nd episode, but I didn't think the childhood flashback was misplaced. Back to the reverse-harem next time I guess. |
  |
| After watching this, there's no way I won't cheer for Nino to end up with Momo... And Yuzu is in love, but it's a tsun tsun... |
 |
| And the love triangle begins. (9/10) |
| Forgive my prejudice, but this drama maybe a big reason why this is a shoujo anime. That friend-zone at the end though =( |
booyah10May 3, 2017 9:20 PM
| I will slap or strangle the next person who tries to sing even one verse of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to me. Literally I cannot deal with that or the la la someone pls save me |
| Love triangle is well and truly in place now lel |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Looks like everyone's annoyed by Alice's lalala's (me included)-- but unfortunately, I really like the storyline TT^TT |
| I understand how the "la-la-la's" are annoying but it makes sense. It's not like Yuzu was writing lyrics in the sand too, so she just went with a simple choice and it makes sense. Doesn't make it any less annoying but maybe it's just because I'm a music nerd that I find this very cute. I'm really enjoying the anime so far, I'm not really sure why it's barely rated a 7 but then again, only just finished episode 2. |
