Lol, I thought that was kinda fun. The guy with the red hair Sakamoto is someone take notice of. The OP song was alright I guess. Some of the girls are pretty annoying to watch tbh...

Too bad Sakamoto's got some rivals. Lol, this is like battle of the bands except with a few kicks or too. I think I'll just be around for the music.

That was a pretty funny start, I liked it when all 3 of them were singing together that was great. I'm not sure what to think of this anime as a whole yet but i'll continue to watch it. Looking forward to the next episode.

It was really ridiculous, and pretty stupid. But I did like the part about freedom in music. Seems like it'll be one hell of a watch.

so..... I'm still a little confused as to how they have electric guitars and well, electricity in general. (isn't this supposed to take place before electricity was used?) Though I guess with the drum set and everything materializing out of thin air at the end I guess these are magic powered instruments? o__O"

Just...what did I just watch? I don't know but I liked it! It was ridiculous as HECK and omigosh the sparkles and the ripping off clothes and...

I'm still flabbergasted but I'll keep watching this for now.

ROFL! I could not watch this with other people. It is so awkward Lol
I might know the feeling of people who strongly hate normal fanservice. This is absurd.

- Edo mixed with modern life check.
- Samurai's check.
- Parody check.(the master of the two guys looks like Jimi Hendrix)
- Okita, Hijikata, Kondo check.

Hate to be the one to mention it but Gintama :p

That advanced in music!
Ryouma seems really loud passionate person.
Government using music as a means of oppression. Heaven's song versus Rock.
Of course their shirts had to come off... and this airing close to Free too.
This seems okay, somewhat bizarre but it might be a fun ride.

Watching Free and this back to back might have been a little much lol. I think I misjudged it from the preview but it might actually be fairly decent.

I still can't get over how the overwhelming guy population whines when there is a show that replaces the female fanservice we get every season with man candy. Are you that......to think there aren't going to be flips like this every so often to appeal to a different demographic?

Most of the old traditional period shows that put a spin on the times have been pretty meh imo but this one might be creative in a good way. Sticking with it for now. Music was good and didn't hate any of the characters. It's either going to keep this pace or get really...really...really boring.

So DEEN, let's see how you handle a silly music show....

Hooray for pop ideal worship.

Bishi established, fujoshi season is open!

The OP made this smell like a reverse harem. And swords vs microphone stand... ugh.

Desecrating your Edo period with this schlock, stay classy Japan!

Warriors now fight with guitars instead of swords, you're not even being ironic about it.

Ah, the trap, how could I have fallen for it, this isn't a reverse harem +1, this is BL -2

This isn't funny, you aren't being dramatic, you're just doing things with no real intent behind them, just putting me to sleep. I have no care for this stupid bishi and his stupid music.

OK, Shoin showed some damn energy... and I'm still snoozing.

Oh, yay you finally got the damn song, after a stupid lecture ofc.

Oh boy, tumblr is going to have a field day with this sequence once they stop gushing over Free!

Wow, you're not even bothering with finishing your song... gg

Establishing villains and our good guys.

Ugh... awful, awful, awful. You're not trying to make sense, you're not trying to be silly, you're not trying to be campy, you're not trying to be ironic.
DEEN, you're just throwing random stuff in this supposed series- bishies, edo flavor, tech, government rules, music warriors, cold antagonists, you're serious with this and just do it with no thought or effort put in, just pretty bishies and that's all.

I feel like this premise has enough possible potential that I might watch 1 or 2 more episodes, but this was... not very good.

Seiyuus were great of course and really the only really great thing going on here. Even if/when I drop this I'd probably want to listen to the music since that's about the only thing of substance here.

Premise could be amusing but yeah this was just kind of a snore mostly due to trying to establish some sort of sense I guess? But there is no sense in this presence so just roll with it all the way so it's at least entertaining to watch!

Character designs are all WAY too goofy for me, failing completely to seem attractive (which assume is what they're aiming for towards us women but haha yeah these designs suck) so even the eye candy aspect falls flat.

Bingo.

So sick of the whining and the shows that are 'golden' of women titties flapping around but when it's for women or gays it's 'awful'.

I was expecting ridiculous which it was but I also wanted something adrenaline pumping that could at least make me laugh and this didn't even do that.

Something more recent that fell into the same lines as this was Nobunaga the Fool (Nobunaga+mechs) and well let's just say that I couldn't even bring myself to finish that series.
I could probably sit through this though since it's 1-cour and not 2.

Seems like you have never watched something like Gintama or Sengoku Basara... otherwise electric guitars in this time period wouldn't even faze you. The same goes for T3hPleb up there.


About the score- "scored by ELEVEN users" so who the hell cares? It'll sort itself out eventually.

I don't mind the random modern elements thrown in for the sake of it, I mind that this is just too straight faced and boring.
Trying a set of gags and forced drama with bishies hoping something sticks, nothing did.

Okay it's just that the "desecrating Edo" bit made me think otherwise.
Boring, yes quite boring. Usually most of these end up being called a waste of voice actors by me.

I completely agree. I'm 100% into girls and enjoyed it. They won't admit it, but there are some insecure guys who disliked this. Maybe not all, but some.

I want to see that comment when JoJo part 4 airs and gets homoerotic as fuck, yet all of us MEN are still going to gush over it.

And read the comments again, the bishies are the only actual content in this show. tumblr is having a field day right now actually.

You could try, but I feel its gunna be the same routine every episode. Like Pokemon where theres peace>team rocket comes>gets beaten>day is saved>repeat.

This show would be like, continue plot>oh no Shinsengumi>Lets sing and take our clothes off>more fangirls(in the show)>repeat.

I'm not really into watching anime about guys being sexy but I found it pretty funny and the music was awesome so I plan on sticking around and hopefully it doesn't get to crazy like some love triangle that will happen in the group.

Except no one will ever call JoJo fujoshi bait no matter how homoerotic or androgynous the characters get. (oh and the dude will look like a lady, very much so.)

Because it's fucking JoJo.

It will never be put on the same 'fujoshi pandering bishie plane' your Free!, as your UtaPri, or even as this.
Let's not even pretend like people will go into ep. discussions just to call it fujoshit in a serious manner, because we all know they won't.

Anyway, it seems like i'm trying to defend this show, which i'm really not.
I'll watch it or drop it as it goes just like I do with everything else.

I'm just trying to combat... nonsense?
Yeah that's a nice way to put it.

Yeah, THAT threw me off too, I didn't really understand that concept. *Shrug* But hey, it is anime, anything can happen.

I'm curious on seeing how far this plot can go, it's got an interesting premise to it, the songs are INCREDIBLE given Kishou Taniyama is doing Ryouma's voice...

0.o AND I CAN NEVER LOOK AT RYOUMA AGAIN WITHOUT THINKING OF ZACK FAIR FROM FINAL FANTASY VII. BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME SCAR, ONLY RYOUMA'S IS UNDER HIS EYE AND NOT UNDER HIS CHEEK.
