| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty solid episode. I love the style of the historical setting and the ovverall look for the anime. We got to meet Arte and she seems like a sweet, kind natured girl. The episode had her speak both in honest thoughts so I think it's important to see how much her character an grow. Animation wise, this show looks nice and consistent too. The theme songs also has this serene feeling, especially the ED imo. |

| Great first episode! I'm totally digging the historical setting of this and the animation perfectly sets up the atmosphere for it. Arte, on first glance, seems like a really nice and motivational character too which is fantastic to see! Really liked how the whole scene was handled, the contrast between Leo-san and Arte's circumstances first but then converging at the same aim. I'm honestly a little surprised how easily she managed to get her mother off though. And that room is seriously beyond hope xD. We've got ourselves father of the season, by the way. Both Op and ED are very soothing to tune in with as well. Definitely intrigued, I'm looking forward to seeing where this is going! Edit: Just found out that this is my first anime from this Studio. Hopefully, it's good enough to keep this quality up for the season. |

| Good first episode I think it's going to be good but I wish she didn't cut her hair :( |
 |

| well damn, she was a hell of alot more waifu than i expected XD |
 |
| What a great first ep. I love Arte and her determination, and her never give up attitude. She's lovely! Be interesting to see how the dynamic between her and Leo grows as the show goes on. |
| Was my most anticipated new series this season and I'm so happy that it lived up to my hopes. It certainly has a very pleasant tone and Arte is so cute and full of energy. Furthermore, I totally dig stories where the protagonist has to prevail againsts external circumstances, such as society dictating the way of life in order to pursue her passion, even more in such an interesting setting. The comedic moments managed to make me chuckle, especially the chibi-esque expressions and apparently there will be some romance as well which is a nice bonus. Also love the theme songs already. So all in all a magnificent start, I sincerely hope that this series will be able to maintain this kind of quality throughout the entire runtime. 5/5 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I don't really like historical anime, but I gave this one a chance because 1.) It's about a girl who wants to make art even in a society where people view girls just as housewives; I like to see anime about the main protagonists proving other people wrong, and 2) I thought Leo's a DILF and pretty hot. Mainly number 2. But I liked this episode, even if a lot of stuff just happened in this first episode. I can't wait to see how Arte lives as an artisan's apprentice and the art she makes in the future. |
 |
| This is such a nice anime. Gives me lots of Ascendace of a Bookworm vibes. |
| The Universal Pictures logo caught me off guard lol. And why do artists want to cut off things like ears, hair, boobs... |
 |
| The first episode was very shounen-like but nonetheless it was great! I'm looking forward to the following episodes. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Fantastic start! Could see this being one of the best of the season! |
| so just got everything anyone could expect form anime about arte wanting to make art.. things may get fixed since theres romance tag |
| So this is an anime about passion. I can see it being one of the anime I look forward to the most each week this season! |

| This is going to be one of the underrated anime for this season.. as a manga reader, the romance in the story showed up pretty seldom because the author focused on historical and cultures. the romance is just a spice for them to make it complete for her character development! |
 |
| Hey we got Sakura 2.0 and she even wanted to cut her breasts. Joking aside this was a great start and the best first episode of this season so far. I like the setting of this anime and the art style is really good too. Arte looked really beautiful with her long hair but she looks cute with her short hair too and it goes well with her tomboyish nature. Expecting a lot from this anime, so looking forward to the rest of the show. |
 |
| Great start for this series. Loving both OP and ED songs. They're really great. Arte with short her is cute and I love her passion. She'll be a great artist. Leo, on the other hand, is an interesting character imo. I liked how they showed the similarities between both the main characters. Is Arte really going to live in that thing? lol. |
 |
| Way too slow and boring. Did this really need to be an anime, not really. While the manga its based on isn't exactly a shoujo, it sure does feel like your typical as fuck braindead boring shoujo. Dropped. |
| :3 |
| It's nice to see feminist female empowerment anime without any woke BS shoved into face. |
 |
| Spring is going to be great. I can feel it. Very good start. |
| Pretty nice so far. Main girl is quite charming and it's also always fun to see actual European settings used for anime |
  |
| ok when I heard this series had "light feminist themes" I wasn't expecting it to shove "huehuehueheu bcuz ur a gurl lolo" every 5 seconds. Oh well, do like the main 2 leads. That Universal in the beginning also caught me off guard |

| The first episode of Arte was fine. Whilst I'm not a fan of the manga, especially since it drags for me a lot later on, I liked the start of it and this was a solid adaptation of it. The music was nice (especially the OP song by Maaya Sakamoto, the living legend) and the visuals were better than I expected. I thought they looked really bad in the poster but when seeing the anime properly, it looks alright. Arte is solid too. She can get a bit annoying for me at times, but I do like her energy and desire to succeed in what she loves, even with not caring about her status - especially during a time where most women with her status would have definitely not sacrificed like Arte would. Overall, I don't know how I'd enjoy the rest of the season since the manga is average for me, but for a start, Arte's anime was a decent enough coming of age show. |
| Universal produces anime now?? Man, no pun intended, the art looks amazing. The world is so beautiful and alive. OP is great Ugh Arte is so adorable. Called her being best girl of the season last year when this got announced and not surprised. Can’t wait to see she and Leo’s relationship develop. Always nice to see a good master student relationship. The world and characters are all very interesting, it’s not often we get renaissance era anime actually set in historically accurate environments so I’m excited. Overall feels a lot like Bookworm which is great because we get double the taste this season. Great first episode, and I think it’ll go on to be one of the sleeper hits of the season |

It's OK to want to make a point, but there's no need to sledge-hammer it in. Other than that, this was a decent first episode. |
 |
| Seems promising :) Don't disappoint please |
| Yeah, that was a'ight. Visual design's a bit 'meh' but the characters and story are enough to carry it through. Don't think this is gonna be a particular favourite, but it's okay. Also, I feel like I must be a very specific kind of empathetic because I hardly ever get angry when a show tries to make me angry, but I was pissed off at the mom character, like instantly. I wanted her dead for burning those drawings and she hadn't even been on screen for 2 minutes. Anyway, yeah. A meh to pretty good show. Don't know if I'll stick with it all the way through, but I'll probably decide that in the near future. MrAwesome2018 said: The Universal Pictures logo caught me off guard lol Me too.

| Found a candidate for best girl of the season. Found a candidate for top 5 opening theme of the season. This anime managed to exceed my expectation. 9/10 for the premiere. |

| What a wonderful start! I didn't plan to watch this but suddenly picked it up. It's refreshing seeing something like art in this setting touched upon since it's not common/I haven't seen much. I like the characters and their dynamics so far! Nice visuals amd nice osts. |
| Looks promissing, it had a good start, hope it keeps it up. |
| I didn't know anything about this, but idk, just felt like watching it... And I enjoyed! Ya-hoo! It was a good first episode, and I already like the MC. She's the genki-type but she can think stuff through. Let's see how she proves that women can be artists too! ♥ |
 |
| Very solid 1st episode. Arte is so adorable man. Looking forward to this. |
 |
| Very promising and very compelling so far. The Universal logo totally caught me off guard. Arte is adorable and full of energy and charm. I love her already. <3 My only gripe with the episode or rather it's a general thing for me is that she cut her beautiful hair, I understand why she did it but still. :( Anyway, really looking forward to more. |
 |
| Good thing is Muse Asia also airing this one! For some reason i think the MC kinda like Maine from Honzuki for me. LOL |
| That was sweet, love the setting in florence and arte is a cute and passionate girl. Extra points cause of mikako komatsu, only concern I have is that this could get a bit boring on the long |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pleasant episode. Reconstruction done well, you can also notice in detail how the sheet written in Italian is visible for a few seconds. Curious to know how the story will proceed. |
| I fully expected to like this one, but I think I loved this first episode. Sure, it was hard to watch her being mistreated, belittled and humiliated only for being a woman, even though I knew it was coming and probably won't stop coming any time soon, but it just started and her efforts already weren't in vain. She met Leo-san, did her best finishing a supposedly impossible task, was able to touch his heart with the truth, and became his apprentice. It's true that she loves drawing since it was the only thing that gave her joy, as her late father said, but now it became her only way of escaping from the "bird cage". Their circumstances were indeed different, but their drive is the same. She wants and needs to be able to live on with her own power just like Leo-san once wanted and needed to. I love how there was rain right on her first day in her new "castle". The poor girl's resolve is already being put to test in more ways than one. xD I'm surprised her mother let her go so easily by the way, but welp, can't wait for more! |
 |
| I necessarily have to watch a series set in Italy. The theme does not interested me too much but the series does not seems bad. Is Leo “inspired” to Leonardo Da Vinci? It’s possible. |
 |
| Arte is a gem of a character! An anime set during the renaissance! I've waited patiently for this one since the trailer dropped and I'm not disappointed Fkn hell this season is too good, way too many good shows |
 |
| It's a promising start, think that it had one of the better openings of the season. The art of Arte is solid (definitely a good waifu), the music is at least somewhat catchy (so far one of the better ones of the season). Considering Funimation's track record I thought they would try to be more heavy handed with messaging due to the setting (thankfully it's more reasonable then my expectations). There's definitely some respect to historical setting, considering the nature of apprenticeships. I expect that this isn't the last of Arte's troubles. Good work. |
  |
| Rich girl, despite being hated by males and evil mother witshes, wanna become Art King/ArtKage. Looks like one of those anime you'll instantly throw out of your mind. I'm genuinely curious how high drop rate will be for new shows from Spring2020. Most seem medicore at best. |
