nope, it was one of sasuke's. think it'll be awhile before the other ones fixed. that'll probably be the episode where he and ryu make up and ryu invites him to join the band.

Woah, I wasn't expecting Ryusuke to get so angry about the guitar. I'm sure sooner or later they'll get back together though.

I thought Ryuusuke was joking when he kicked off about the guitar.

I didn't expect that either, but I'm sure Ryusuke is calm now =)

The dubbed version is so much better. I feel like the whole series just improved in a moment as soon as I switched from sub to dub.

I didn't expect Ryuusuke to get upset, either. I also didn't expect the guitar to break.

No Maho except in the beginning :( but Saito teaching Koyuki should be good.

I like this episode. Who could think that Saito-san is not only a great swimmer, but also is a rock music fun and can play guitar (and even can teach to play other people)? And his parrot singing only masterpiece songs is very funny.
Sorry for my English ^^

I would have reacted the same exact way i don't blame Ryusuke...I mean it was a freaking Gibson L-48 ffs!! that thing is like pure tone in your hands!!
There were just so many bad things this ep first..you don't go around waving your guitar like that! you keep them in their case >>
And second you don't go lying about what you can play...its lame

So far I don't like Koyuki's character but im sure in the future he is going to be awesome and a great singer/guitarrist...i just know it...

EDIT: got the guitar model wrong it was actually an L-48 :P god this gibson's and their numbers are just a hassle to remember them all

I liked this episode. Defnitley better than the previous episodes. A lot more progression and I felt more connection to the characters. A bit was still unecessary, but mostly I thought that every seen should have been there.

I was trying to figure out why Koyuki was carrying around his guitar without it being in a case...and then he paid for it.

GOD THIS ANIME IS FUCKING EPIC!!!!!ARGHH!!!!!

I don't know, but as soon as i saw the OP for this anime I just knew this anime was going to be my favorite out of all the ones I have seen so far. I just don't know how to describe it, but i feel a deep connection to all these characters. I guess it's because I grew up with metalheads and going to shows. I want to watch the whole show in one day, but i have resisted and I am only going to watch a few episodes a day.

I will give the dub a try since so many say the dub is better. I compared the dub with the sub of the first episode and i preferred the sub, but maybe in the music parts are different. So I'll rewatch episode 4.

This episode was so good. aghh!!!

I know! I've never experienced a dub being better than sub before. The English that Ryusuke and Maho speak is the worst

What exactly is exaggerated? You playing guitar doesn't contribute much when your statement doesn't actually mean anything lol.

It's seen through the eyes of a 14 year old kid.

Decent episode, the show doesn't really amuse me too much while I first expected it would. I do hope it gets slightly better next.

I wanted to ask if I'm the only one to think the reaction of Ryuusuke is completely disproportionate ( when he learns that Koyuki has broken the guitar he gave him). I think it is quite wtf, and there's a lot of things like that in this anime... And you guys what do you think?

Koyuki, what are you? Dojikko? In anime? :P

Saito is a weird guy, but he's a nice guy
Still prefer someone like him than cool and jerk guys
Saito is da MVP! xD

Tbh.. I uh.. Not even sure there's a decent vocalist in this anime so far
They sounded pretty bad, well except for the real bands

Well seeing that Gibson guitar falling from the bridge and being crushed by a truck broke my heart. Ryuusuke was pretty angry, I hope he will forgive Koyaki somehow.

Koyaki is certainly getting better, although I feel it is a little bit rushed. I mean, playing guitar is 'easy'? It usually never is and he does suffer from all the blisters. His teacher is funny (and generous, Koyaki can now play on his famous 'Tibson'). Let's hope they can make Page sing in no time! :)

What kind of a retard runs around all over the town swinging a guitar like it's some cheap baseball bat? And that Gibson looked like a vintage archtop from the 40's.

Turns out the old swimmer, despite being rather creepy, sure can jam out on a guitar. Koyuki is coming along well too. I am looking forward to when they finally get together as a band.

It was obvious that the guitar would have been smashed but how it all happened seemed so unrealistic. He's so clumsy to the point of becoming hard to watch, i know it by obvious first-hand personal experience. The swimming teacher is the hero of the day and not just a one-off comedy relief? Nice twist, not gonna lie. And now the parrot in the eyecatch is finally explained.

More baseball madness. This sport is srs bsns...


Manabu interrupting the band was timely as well. Otherwise the lead vocalist there would've kept going with the "parasitic worms are crawling into my brain" shuffle all day.
