Sawa = perfection. I'm fine with perfection being voiced by Hayami Saori. The episode was good, loving the audiovisual side, especially that True Tears OP being sung by the choir club. Except for that bitchy teacher, all characters seem at least likeable.
In the end it's probably the anime i was looking forward to the most this season. I had hope for 24 episodes though, seeing it's 13 makes me a bit dissapointer. Good start neverthless.
Also Sawa. <3

I really liked this! The art style reminded me a lot of Hanasaku Iroha which aired a few seasons ago. I assume it's by the same studio. I hope it's as good as that show.

I really love music animes. And this is close to my heart because I'm also in a chorus club. Because of this though, I'll probably be constantly comparing this to real life and that might make my experience kind of annoying haha. I think it'll be a great anime though, so I'm looking forward to watching more!

I have no idea how this is gonna end up, but right now it's at an 8/10 for me :D

Tari Tari should become an another 'Natsuiro Kiseki' since we had Takagaki Ayahi, again (the last time that I recognized her voice was Feldt Grace from Gundam 00, Kuro from Blue Exorcist & Desil Gallete from Gundam AGE)!

This was pretty nice and it looked like it will become even nicer.
The characters looked pretty interesting and are a pretty nice group together and they also seemed like they had there circumstances.
It also reminds me allot of Hanasaku Iroha not just in art but it has the same feeling to it.

There is a mistake in the Synopsis.
The guy that just transferred mentioned he was living in Austria he even mentioned living in the capital of Austria Vienna.
While the synopsis mentions he was living in Australia.

WOW. That's a lot better than I anticipated. Will continue.

Wakana looks very diligent but a little bitching. I guess she'll develop.
Sawa is a very nice girl all around. Good personality. Good style. Assumably good student too. Just perfect.
Konatsu is a typical aggressive cheerful girl, good girl but not really my type.
Taichi didn't do much.
Vienna guy is simply EPIC.

I was a little shocked when I heard "Reflectia". Remind me of one of the biggest shippers massacre.

Way to go. Start with 5/5 - 7/10.

If you search for this anime, it is on page 8 of the results list and one can't skip the other pages... Mendoukusai! -.-

Wow, this really is a coastline I always recognize within a split second. Perhaps mostly because they always show the view from Kamakura to Enoshima in any anime set in that region.

That reminds me I still have to watch the second episode of Tsuritama and decide whether it is worth my time...

I was really surprised that I like this so much. The details on everything are to die for, I hope the quality doesn't drop. The characters are adorable so far, as of now Wien is my favorite.

Also, did the first few seconds imply that Sakai had some traumatic event (like her mothers death probably) make her quit singing? It probably did.

Also, Reflectia was unexpected, I finished watching true tears a week ago.

That was great. I really like the characters so far and, this being P.A. Works, the art is beautiful. It's pretty much Hanasaku Iroha set in a different place with different characters and with some music thrown in.

Wait, wait. The song the choir was singing is the song from the True Tears OP! Some already mentioned it , but still. ^w^

Anyway, that revelation aside. This was pretty nice. I'm linking the Hanasaku Iroha art style and that characters are pretty likeable so far. Speaking of Hanairo; Konatsu is adorable and really reminds me of Ohana in a way. With that Sakai is definitely like Minko. I couldn't stop laughing at Wien doing all the wrong gestures. I think his custom books are a little out of date.

Looking forward to more. Expect some drama!

This looks very promising. I'm hoping it is. I already want to know what is up with Wakana and Wien seems like a very interesting character. These two are the ones I'm most looking forward to.

Well... it looks OK. I could see this turning into poop, but I could also see this pulling an unexpected turn for the better. Right now, it's neutral. I have no hopes or expectations for this anime at this point in time except I wouldn't mind an onsen scene.

P.A. WORKS YOU DON'T DISAPPOINT! ~

Actually though it's like I'm watching Hanasaku Iroha all over again... except with a totally different plot. The feel and animation is very similar, but even the characters. Besides appearances, I can totally see Minko's personality in Sakai, and a bit of Ohana in Miyamoto.
But it doesn't bother me at all.

It seems like a promising series right now, so hopefully the following episodes are good too. Singing wasn't what I was expecting; in the synopsis it said ensamble, so I was expecting instruments (but not a band like in K-ON). Anyway I'll just have to see.

Not a bad start; though nothing really stood out for me besides the usual P.A. Works art. Our transfer student seems to be a nice additional touch to the cast though. That aside I already like Konatsu~

Nice episode, can't wait for the next one. Sakai is kinda emo though most probably because she has a family problem that's why she in that supplementary class, maybe she's moving? seeing that there's a lot of things there are being packed in her room iirc. Or maybe her mother's dead or something and her mother has something to do with singing or music just a guess though. And that True Tears song... WHY?! After I was finally forget about that bad ending all these years, you must remind me about it again... poor Noe.

BTW many people says its remind them of Hanasaku huh? I never watch Hanasaku before because all the main characters are girls lol, one of the reason I watched this because there are some guys as a main char too not as support character.

Nice introduction episode. Gave a good first impression of each of the important characters of the story. Looking forward to the next one.

Since Konatsu was voiced by the same person that voiced Chihaya (Chihayafuru), I really got the good sense of passion one can be with what they want to do; even when others doubt you.

Shut up about the "Iroha feel" it's out of P.A. Works...no shit it's going to have that "feel".

It was a good first episode though. Ready for the rest : )

And Miyamoto is super pretty! I like her peppy character.

I haven't seen Hanasaku Iroha, but this series gives me the "live without regrets" vibes all over the place. This theme isn't necessarily bad, but it does require the audience to understand character motivations before and after their change. Ultimately, Tari Tari excels at introducing five characters, all with loads of individuality, that have a capacity to change.

Having overtaken the mother role in her family, Sakai has trouble pursuing what she is interested in. Miyamoto has the will to live her life without regrets, but is enough introverted to never get the message across to someone else. Tanaka, mostly unashamed of his actions, is completely secluded when its comes to pursuing badminton. Wein definitely carries baggage from his past, indicated by his letter to Yang and his return to Japan after 12 years. Did I forget anyone? Oh well, Sawa is an exception; she seems to be having the perfect life, though not everything is revealed about her.

All now that needs to be done is use music as a catalyst to lead these characters into living a life without regrets. As long as this series sticks to this script, I don't see it going wrong.

The choir did a good job singing REFLECTIA, oh how i loved that song since i have watched True Tears.

This one is a good start i believe, and i'm getting Hanasaku Iroha vibes because of the drawing, well i guess this is what we get from P.A. Works...

So far so good. The characters look interesting, with no obvious love interests, so any that develop will be fun to see. The relationships between the five main characters look like they could be good. You have the "best buddies" Konatsu and Sawa, the transfer student Wein, the oddball badminton player Taichi, and the obviously moody, depressed, and in need of friends Wakana, who evidently used to be in the music program, but transferred to general studies and doesn't want to sing anymore. I could see these five forging some fine friendships via the power of music, and the force of nature that is Konatsu! (You can just tell that she is a spitfire, can't you!)
