I figured each episode would be dedicated to getting a new member to join. However, if each one is going to involve some dramatic event that needs to be preformed for them to join, this may be a pain to watch.

Let's not forget that there is also a "romance" that is suppose to happen.

Well that was dramatic..

This anime is okay, but I find the tags misleading. The "romance" tag made me think there would actually be some sort of relationships forming other than "we all like sensei", but it doesn't look like their will be. A little disappointing.

I know it all worked out in the end but damn. Haruta was such a dick this episode. Pestering her so much, going into her house, making all these comments about her and her relationship with her brother, and painting the memento in front of her while having the girls hold her down. He definitely could've gone about it another way with the cube. Convince her to move on and paint it herself or something.

And here I thought there are embossed/debossed patterns on the cube, Haru went for the drastic measure. Particularly love this episode because I also love puzzles.

Well yeah didn't particularly care for this one. The MC is basically a jerk who thinks he can go around messing with people in grief just so he can give his band a boost. You aren't saving the world you jerk, leave people be.

And yeah the mystery wasn't great. It would have been fine if it was set as a puzzle that the girl could have solved, but just refused to really try to. Instead of a ridiculous puzzle that the brother would have known his sister would never have been able to solve.

Doesn't matter, it's supposed to be her own colours.

That was a very heartwarming episode.

But...it's not in her colours. Haruta is the one who painted it.

So... Haruta not that smart? Balances out his OP solving?
It doesn't matter what color, since the point was painting over zinc white causes peeling. He painted red onto one of the blue message squares, then peeled some linen off while rotating to make one side all blue. The rest in random colored linen weren't peeled off yet.
Zince white problems with brittleness & longevity: http://www.naturalpigments.com/art-supply-education/zinc-white-oil-paint-color/

OP really nice. Like the neko, pan, cool drummer & saxophone. backgrounds really good.
Haru's really smart, but it's not instant solve. I like how they still showed the process. From observing people back in April, student number order, interviewing former friend (note so far Haru never saw Miyoko with anyone). Then lead to getting clues on brother & puzzles, & Miyoko's room.
They took a whole week to solve it. Chika gave 2 clues: noting the weird smell clued Haru to oil paint, and lack of signature. Haru only figured out on Thursday, after sensei talked about vague stuff. Finally using oil paint knowledge to reveal the hidden message. The buildup & reveal were quite cool.

Chika best girl. Double slap was great. They need to beat up Haruta more to fix his condescending mean attitude. Miyoko also got garbage tier personality. They all got nice fashion sense, esp Chika in ED.

Big improvement over the previous episode. Hopefully we get something more than just single episode mysteries.

i wasn't supposed to be crying towards the end /////

i want to sympathise with haruta for getting slapped, but he deserved it really.

narushima's eyebrows were annoying me a lot. also the ed that turned out to be the op sounds like an intro to a news report lmao

and for those who are hoping for a Haruta x Chika development. It will be interesting to see how Haruta copes with his conflicting feelings. must think that no means yes and haruta saying he is not interested in chika at all so he must be is proof.

Miyoko had a hard time, but it's nice that they were able to make her join the band.

Cringey. That was disappointing, really disappointing. I really liked the characters at first, and thought they would really develop the characters throughout the series, but nah, it gotta be member recruitment per episode with some sob story, right? I hope I am wrong, but they needed 30 (or 55) members, and it seems like the mystery aspect will remain.

What I didn't like the most about the mystery aspect was Haruta himself. I thought he was really cute at first, but he's not only rude as fuck, he has that plot knowledge helping his deductive skills. I don't like how he just barges into somebody's life and forces them to change, whether it did help them or not. I also don't like the story progression where the girl, in this case the girl who lost her brother, seemingly trust the guy so easily. She didn't even know him before, NOTHING AT ALL, and the guy suddenly came to your house, knew about your friend, and did all that deduction right after entering your room, isn't that suspicious? She just handed her brother's dear rubic cube to a guy she didn't know about.. okay..

I also don't like the fact that this whole recruitment is heavily based on Haruta's wish to get sensei to conduct them on a grand stage competition, I don't know, it feels like the characters have no motivation of their own, feels kinda hollow. I bet sensei has some sort of sad, sad backstory that caused him to quit being a conductor and they're gonna show us his backstory last.

Kinda meh. Like the solution was a little tear jerk but since we get so shoved into this backstory so heavy handedly it was really "eh". Doubt my opinion on this show is gonna change but here here.

Man, Haruta really grinds my gears. He basically pesters that girls for his own convinience just because he wants something from her, then goes after her friend, stalks her to her house, insults her to her face and tells her that she is not allowed to mourn anymore. Well, fuck you with a rusty pipe, mister.

Even if it worked out for her in the end - I really wanted him to have some comeuppance.
