So a show literally about girls who can heal in various departments...it's an interesting concept imo.

Character designs are delicate and the main trio of the show seems fun enough to watch, especially that redhead Kana. There are a lot of characters though, so I'm really curious how they'll flesh everyone out with their personalities.

A fun start so far if you ask me.

With such a title like this, I certainly got that and more.

The OP is so light-hearted, it feels like the Monday Blues have all but withered away, whether you've starting or finishing Monday alright.

And the rest of the show is just that: idol girls (because that's what their Seiyuus are) disguised to be Healer Girls, healing people through song (though this is nowhere close to being an idol show).

But I would've been so mistaken that some Seiyuus feels and sounds like they're virtually new (or side-casted) in this series:
- Reimi Itsushiro voicing Marina Horiuchi (new Seiyuu)
- Chihaya Yoshitake voicing Sonia Yanagi (Love Live!'s Yuuna Hijirisawa)
- Akane Kumada voicing Hibiki Morishima (TenSura's Ellen)
- Karin Isobe voicing Kana Fujii (Just Because!'s Mio Natsume)

Getting Studio 3Hz for this production, it's simple as molasses, but with Princess Principal's character designer Yukie Akiya and music composer Ryo Takahashi of Void_Chords, it's a bummer to say...that I'm really down for this HARD.

Some may say alright, but this is a simple Iyashikei, SoL musical theme that does its intended job well.
And I'm loving the songs already, this is gonna cure my Monday Blues so aptly. Mark it when I say that this is a hidden gem of the season.

Sweet and lighthearted start. I loved all that singing.

I'm glad Yui's grandma is feeling much better now. Good job, Kana!

Aww, Reimi is a very curious about that cat. =^_^=

"A glass or two is good for you." Well, I'm not so sure about that. x3

I had extremely high expectations for this show which weren't even warranted by almost anything. It was clear this would be a SoL moe show with a big focus on music and that concept alone sold me instantly.

Suffice to say, blew my expectations out of the water, show's great! It's like getting Macross, but fully SoL and in a hospital setting instead of mecha space wars.

The sing-off scene was hilarious, when Reimi started to sing her rock song and suddenly had sparkles firing everywhere it was like in Guitar Hero hitting S rating/on fire mode when you hit a combo.

Final 'sakuga' scene, which I imagine will be present at the end of every episode was great too, exactly the sort of scene I expected going in and that's all I really need from a musical anime imho. Cheers to more of this!

Um, nope. I hate the direction style and random musical parts. It really puts me off, it feels more like something aimed to kids.
The animation and art quality is great though.

I’m so glad I watched this, I was gonna pass on it because I hadn’t heard anything about it and I’ve gone from watching 100 percent of seasonals to like 85 percent recently. But I’m glad I did check it out, love the art style, love the girls and I like the concept of music being used as a healing method. May not work quite the same irl but music still helps people get thru trauma. Solid first ep!

I enjoy the little singing conversation. If there a rule saying she should not treat people, the teacher should have punished her somehow, even a small bit.

Singing of coarse can't heal physical injuries, but songs can help the mental state of people, and improving a mental state of someone helps the body heal from physical injuries.

I will enjoy watching this series every Monday.

Musicwise the first few moments gave me Aa Megami-sama x Aria vibes and it's indeed somewhat reminiscent. Pretty good start for something I came into 100% blind. It's a sweet premise (for now) and hopefully there will be a lot of variety in terms of song choices.

Actually, I don't expect anything from most shows since I tend to go in blind on every season. You can't blame me when a huge percent of shows are either low hanging fruit or just pandering.

The very few gems like these that come out every now and then, fully deserve my appreciation.

Great episode! 'Healers' are people who can heal people with their singing voices. Kana sings to heal a little graze on a boy's knee who fell in the street but got told off her teacher as she isn't yet qualified. Reimi seems to be obsessed with her teacher and she is her idol xD. Hibiki is also quite a nice person and scared them both with the face in the wooden engraved wall lol.
Kana saved Yui's grandma with her singing and seems to have made a lot of progress according to her teacher!

I just want to say also that the singing in this show is very beautiful!


I really really like the premise of this show and am looking forward to the next episode!

After first 10 minutes I feared this was going to be that kind of musical anime where every dialogue is sung but it got better towards the end. This is done by Studio 3Hz and they've pretty good track record and you can see how this anime also has above average animation (not the greatest but it's still good) at certain points.

Will definitely give this 3 episodes instead of only one!

Meh looks fine so far, not really my cup of tea.

Seriously, as someone who is learning musical theory, very few animes that dive into the topic of music manage to impress me.

There's just something that doesn't really click for me, although I don't see how this one can be super disappointing, at least not in the level of Takt Op. Destiny.

It's probably the real world setting, it drives all realism down the gutter (in reality this magic would be considers a pseudoscience by any news outlet; even Fox News), but a world where music heals and is perfected down to a science is an ASMRists wet dream, they'd basically be full on doctors in this world.

A pretty nice start. The way they talk by singing was pretty entertaining, ngl. Kana somewhat intrigues me so I hope they show her backstory more.

Anime original by Studio 3Hz? Sign me up!

Really enjoyed the first episode. Good introductory episode, and we get a feel for what the 3 main girls are like.

The final singing part was animated very well and the flashback to show us why she chose to become a healer was nice. The C part after the ED was funny too (didn't expect them to come back to the face on the ceiling lol).

The VAs are OK. The VA for the blonde girl could loosen up a little bit, but I know they are all newbies so I won't be too harsh on them. They all sang beautifully though.

When I began to watch the show, I sensed something was wrong. It seemed a show for girls like "Precure" or something and not what I expected. And then I realized it was not "Kono Healer, Mendokusai". It was close. I was about to miss the first episode of the comedy.

well this is easy to put quite a soothing anime and has charmed me ,lol while i couldn't stop laughing because how often the characters would break out into singing like it's a musical on the disney channel at the same time it's really good even if they sing like a lot.


curious to see where it goes because singing as a form of healing in a medical field is not really fun and games like the ending event show so i wonder what will happen
Studio 3Hz explains why this looks quite nicely animated

lol "magical healing doesn't make sense from singing in this fictional world" c'mon now for years across different media' this has been done it's not remotely strange ,there's even some real life benefits from it

I was surprised by this show, I thought it might be slight or a light and hasty story but was stopped in that negative thinking by the sincerity and clear and skillful direction ..the art style and the music and the VA all combine to make powerful magic.

I will watch it I am pretty sure unless they drag in tropes too much. An obnxious Blond girl in the next episode threatens to be such, but i will hold out hope.

a nice surprise. Music is more and more important in Modern day Japan, a sort of combination of genres and styles has merged into Music being one of the life streams of daily life and culture. So this show is timely and hopeful. Nice work Studio and Staff.

Healer, healing. Don't know why but feeling those keyword became quite meta for lately anime. But its still nice having cute girls healing you with their adorable voices. So far its good. The song actually really healing. I don't mind with the concept, and the art so far very engaging. Hopefully there's something more to the story element so that at least people with narrow-minded over this kind of niche things can be attracted to watch. Or just stay more to the soothing theme until the end? Well lets see next week, then...

AWWW WTF? THIS IS ACTUALLY RLY NICE? SO SO CUTE.

i kinda laughed at the early part where red hair girl was just suddenly singing to heal this lil wound but i was absolutely enchanted by the op. idfk whats so special abt it but i loved it sooo much.

with this kinda setting in the world, there definitely should be more apprentice's and they should heal more serious wounds rather than scraps that'll fade in like a week but this isn't a show trying to be realistic. just a light hearted one with a cute premise, and im digging it.

i also absolutely adoree the singing style they choose for whenever they "heal" people?? and the vas chosen to voice them are also rly nice. biggg fan of it

random music parts can kinda be off putting but i like it. that part especially where the trio were singing with the phonograph as if they're in a musical.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! It was a very nice first episode, and since I already saw someone on my Twitter feed mentioning the musical aspect, I wasn't surprised and fully embrace it. I think it makes the show really fun and unique! While I probably wouldn't listen to the songs outside of the episode, I did like them. Also, Takagaki Ayahi <3 (even if she's not the main character)

The episode was really wholesome, hopefully it'll continue to be relaxing the whole way through :D
