Why do people have to swear once they talk in English? It's so random >_>

Looks like more development into his new obsession, the art isn't spectacular but I'm being hooked in somehow.

I can really relate to the whole bored with life then finding music theme well... I guess lots of people can it seems to be a common phenomenom lol. I think this is going to be a really good anime.

This kid is kind of creepy to me. lol.

I'm really excited to meet the rest of the band because I am not a fan of either of the two males right now.

I don't like that they're so young but hopefully it'll be realistic.

Why did she get so mad at him for him saying she can't read kanji?

Interesting beginning and I'll watch it next as a fan of music [musical?] anime ^_^
Ryusuke said, that he'll make the best band in the whole world.. I think, maybe, Koyuki will join Ryuske's band and will become a world-famous star or something similar (?).
Has anybody noticed, that Ryusuke's guitar looks like Yui's one (K-ON!)?
Sorry for my English ^^

I was about to mention this same thing. Very creepy. I was hoping this would be more of a musical anime then it is and I do agree with above people commenting negatively on the art & constant engrish swearing. I've heard good things so I'm gonna stick with it a while longer.
Such junk...

I was wondering about that too. He looks like and sounds like a middle-aged man.

Nothing special in this anime until now, but lets keep watching.

Must be the Engrish.


Except Maho. So mean... >>

On another note, Ryuusuke telling Koyuki not to use -kun was hilarious. XD

Decent episode, some structure is forming but the pacing is still rather slow, I do wonder what's next though!

This was a fairly enjoyable episode.
I cannot wait for Ryusuke to form his own band.
I'm also quite interested in his little sister. Tanaka will probably develop romantic feelings for her later on. I kinda shipped him with the childhood friend, though.

The episode was smooth and I was able to enjoy it.

Behold of my awesomeness~

This show has a lot of good things, the art being one of those, considering its an anime from 2004.

Thank God someone's trying to fix Koyuki's taste in music. That idol crap sounded like it was from My Little Pony.

Well Koyuki just experienced his first live concert. Too bad something went wrong with the sound and the manager left... I guess Serial Mama wouldn't have made it eventually. Ryuusuke and the other lead guitarist just don't match that well. I mean, pink hair, really? You are in a rockband dude ;)

Oh and Ryuusuke's sister Maho was pretty rude towards Koyuki. It seems Ryuusuke and Eiji will part ways from now on. Can't wait for the next episode and hear some new music!

I suppose it implies the scout left because the show was screwed up...but if the band was signed they'd be working with company technicians so it's not like he left because of the technical screw-up per se. Did he just get tired of waiting?

It would be fine if only animation sucked but what the hell is wrong with all those engrish and swears, dialogues and presention look childish and stupid.

Ryuusuke and Maho really look older than 16 and 14 years old and that's distracting, honestly (she is voiced by Perla Liberatori in italian dub and looks like a good choice, she is wonderful and also one of the reasons i began watching this, aware of her involvement)

Yukio looks like Shinpachi without glasses (again, same voice of him in Gintama original dub). Also, welcome to the world of ears ringing after concerts, the exact kind that won't allow you to sleep properly. This and other recurring details for a gig (such as those guitar feedback issues on stage) are doing a decent job in making the plot be relatable.

The main character is boring, unfortunately. Despite being the perspective lead, a solid portion of the scenes where Yukio's appeared so far have him mindlessly maundering around or reacting to what could be interesting events in such a simplistic, lackadaisical manner that he sucks all the life out of them. Combine the main character's blandness with the stiff animation, and this anime isn't as "lively" as it probably should be for an anime about rock music.

Ryuusuke, on the other hand, seems to have a bit more depth to him. Don't know if there will be a love triangle with him, Yukio and Izumi or not - but the anime seems to be laying the groundwork for it. Yukio himself is trying to encourage Izumi to pursue Ryuusuke, despite obviously not being entirely comfortable with such a prospect.
