----------------------------------------
The first episode was very cute and I like all the characters so far, it's still a bit weird to hear Tomita Miyu in other roles since I'm so used to her voicing the Yume from Aikatsu Stars! but I think she's doing a great job.

I hope they'll leak the second episode as well.

Did it have similar type of humor to Anne Happy? Or was it more similar to Gochiusa?

This was great.
Really nice and really peaceful and funny characters.
Just what i was expecting, looking forward to next week already.
The main character being shy is a nice attribute tho it did cause her some problems with the police officer and in the park.

Holy fuck yes! That was wonderful! A fine cgdct show so far. Slightly reminiscent of Gochiusa, this'll be my Urara Meirochou for this season. Make that theater troupe Hinako! All 4 girls seem nice too, with more on the way! I'm liking Chiaki and Hina best so far. That fanservice bath scene tho! Who knew Hina had such big, beautiful tits!? XD

Oh yes! My CGDCT show of the season is finally here! <33 And that was an amazingly adorable first episode! Not only the character designs were really pretty but there were tons of chibi moments in this anime. I absolutely love it! And since this anime is about theater troupes, I look forward to interesting things on stage!

Gimme more! I want the next episode already, hah! xD

That was fun. Really catchy theme songs (both OP & ED).
The main characters are fun to watch too ranging from the Hinako to Kuina. There's even a maid too.

Got a slight GochiUsa vibe from this with the maid gimmicks.

Out of all the main characters introduced, I like Kuina and Mayuki so far.

That was just all round adorable and cute, great start.

Lovely character so far, love all of them. Hinako, Kuina and Mayu already scored more than enough points with me. XD I'm sure Chiaki will follow soon. :P

Love how there are a lot of chibi moments as well, makes everything so much more adorable and the show is pretty funny as well with they way Hinako reacts and the part where Mayu was acting like an older sister was funny too.

Bath scene was great too. :3

Looking forward to more.

This is relaxing to me, and every season needs a little moe. ^^
This feels like a mix between Anne Happy and Is the Order a Rabbit.
Good start to introduce the main chars.

It's like you came to this expecting to hate it. You sure love to waste your time.

Not expecting it to top New Game or Gochiusa, but this will fill the quota of CGDCT considering it seems to be the only one this season.

Well they got the Gochiusa element with that tea house for sure. But looking at the uniform, it's like Lucky Star BUT less or maybe zero Otaku talk.
I like Hina so far. Somehow her reaction always makes me laugh. >_<

In some ways these two characters remind me of these :

Sakuragi Hinako - Hoto Kokoa (GochuUsa)
Natsukawa Kuina - Izumi Konata (Lucky Stars)

This was so damn cute. I have no idea why, but it gave me the GochiUsa vibe. Probably because of the cute character designs, and the cute girls, especially Hinako <3.

This was an adorable episode. OP and ED are catchy. The girls look so cute, especially in chibi form. It makes moments more cuter. It's amusing when Hinako becomes a scarecrow. All of the characters have good chemistry.

I've had the title stuck in my head since last year. I like how the show feels less calculated/refined than GochiUsa.

My favorite part was when a few minutes after the "ducks remind me of stealth fighters" line, there was an actual B2 Spirit stealth bomber bath toy along with a normal rubber duck.

I was thinking that, and that the loli maid could be a younger sister of Perrine from Strike Witches.

For God's sake Kuina, that's not how you supposed to eat friends :c (she's a total Konata btw).

I think it will be a good anime ^-^ I didn't see that kind of opening since Lucky Star and I liked it a lot, the ending too.

Jesus christ, the book eater girl is Gabriel! This feels more like Non Non Byori with Gochiusa eyes and artstyle.
I do not like Hinako's voice! but she is hot af. Please dont tell me she's underage....
Only winner here is book eater girl.

Enjoyed the 1st episode so far.
I like the character designs and they are very cute as well.
Hinako looks like Cocoa from GochiUsa. :)
Chiaki's hair style reminded me of Onodera.
When I heard Mayu's voice, I already knew she's the same VA as Masamune's mom from Masamune-kun no Revenge. :v
The book eater girl is cute too especially her first appearance where she was reading the book.
Looking forward to the next episode.

I thought this was pretty good.

Comedy was not bad, it will probably become even better in the future episodes.

I did laugh when she became a scarecrow, those chicks come to her every time.

Now I'm going to go back and watch the opening again.

Maybe I'm getting burnt out on cute girls doing cute things, but this episode was really slow and boring for me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I'll keep watching in hopes it gets better.

hnnng i'm ready for my seasonal dose of CGDCTs very much has some GochiUsa vibes
and the op was giving off some lucky star vibes as well not to mention that one girl looks like Konata lol highly unlikely she'll be a Otaku like her.


i'm liking it also prefer these kind of moe designs that look a bit older but still have the chibi mode for comedy i mean i Hinako thought was in college at first ,they be playing trick on me with the smallest one being a 2nd year !

found the dancing in the OP and ED very addicting

It was okay. Pretty average CGDCT fare, but I'm a fan of the niche so this'll be pleasant at least.

btw did that bath scene basically feel just like Hidamari Sketch or was it just me?

Loved the 1st episode. The character designs are damn cute. The girls are very likable. But it seems that the tracksuits girl interests me most.
Both the OP and the ED songs are also very catchy. Already having ear worms. :P
This is probably a potential hidden gem this season. Loved the way Passione handled this show . Hopefully, the animation won't flop in the later episodes since they had some sort of similar issue w/ Rokka no Yuusha and Rail Wars in the past.

I hope it gets better.

I admittingly got bored more quickly with Gochiusa than Hinako Note, but perhaps it is because I do not feel compelled to do nothing but wait for episode 2.

I do like quirks when they work as a sign of recognition but not as a dominant trait. In a way, I feel compelled not to look for originality but execution of uniqueness, some sort of way to tell these cute girls of this show apart from other shows.
