| did they translate these songs from english to japanese to english or were they written this way? |
| Most/all of the songs in here already have english in them, or are completely in english. |
 |
| This was the episode that made me raise the score from a 9 to a 10 ^^ Very beautiful ending song ^^ |

| Wow that was great... I really like the songs, even if the bands never did exist :P That acapella jam at the end was cool :) |
 |
| Best episode so far, I think, though I can't STAND the fact that they`re insisting on this forced English. I mean, you can HEAR Maho`s Japanese! she has an accent! also, my English isn't perfect and I can still hear they have grammar mistakes.. |
| Really funny and enjoyable. The singing in the pool was really cool. |
 |
| I'm surprised so many people like it. I'm starting to get really impatient and bored with the series. I'm going to watch episode 6 to give it one last chance. There's something about the series that makes me keep coming back to watch it, but overall I don't really like it. |
 |
| The episode was pretty nice, nothing special. Makes me want to do skinny-dipping karaoke. |

Actually, the singing in the pool annoyed me, especially the poor animation and there's nothing actually happening "in front of the camera". And yes, probably that's because I didn't really enjoy the singing. Maho's OK, but I hate Koyuki's singing voice :( And it is raaather slow... However, I'll complete it anyway.... I just hope that Koyuki joining Ryusuke's band won't take the whole 26 episodes. |
 |
| One of the best scenes in anime at the end, imo. And yes the animation is pretty bad. |

| Heh, Japanese people can't sing in English to save their lives. I didn't notice anything wrong about the animation, well maybe it was a little bit off sync but I hated their singing... |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| The song in the end was amazing! I wonder is there any feelings between Koyuki and Maho-chan? =^^= |

| Sorry for my English ^^ |
| This episode is a bit closer to what I was expecting. Nice progression. |
| Such junk... |
| Nice pecs on Saitou-san at the end. Seriously , this show is ridiculous , but i really like it. |
| Loved it. :D |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

I just hope that Koyuki joining Ryusuke's band won't take the whole 26 episodes. I noticed that as well... the animation was horrible. The animators were probably shamelessly fucking around. I liked the singing but it got really repetitive and was ruined. This isn't a show that's about the animation. I hate to sound like a condescending d-bag, but you guys are totally missing the point. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| so far im enjoying it...don't really get why everyone is complaining about the animation its fine for me :l |
 |
| The Engrish is putting me off somewhat. It's hard to take it seriously. I wish they just sang in Japanese, but oh well, guess I'll put up with it. I agree that the animation is pretty bad, too, and the editing at some parts could be a lot better. The series hasn't gripped me so far. It's good, I'm enjoying watching it, but at this point I can't say I care for the story, nor the characters, nor the music. I hope that changes soon, otherwise I can't see this moulding into anything outstanding. |

 |
| Pretty good episode, the singing at the end was nice. |
 |
| Seriusly, that anime has a too slow pass... 1 episode seems to be 3 hours long. damnit ¬¬ And, wtf? If you get naked with some beautiful chick inside a poll you shouldn't be singing, but doing something else... if you know what i mean :P |
| ... |
| As someone said before in a yt video: Nothing says summer like singing butt naked in a school pool |
 |
| That pool bit at the end might be the worst scene I've ever watched. Felt so very unnecessary and boring. Even if she sang better in English, the song itself is really kind of stupid. Anyway, that aside, this show has some kind of charm so far. It's a bit lazy as far as the art and animation go but the story has potential. |

| I honestly think their English is fantastic compared to most Japanese people's English. There are some series with a lot of Engrish that hindered them, but I think that it is making a positive impact on this series. |
 |
| Finally a pretty good episode. Loved the end. |

Actually this is one of the better anime to watch dubbed. |
 |
| That english in the japanese version is so annoying. It's so bad :P "I was sure" or something like that. And actually pronouncing "sure" the way it's written, that sounded so odd. Other than that, enjoying the anime quite a bit. |
 |
| I wish the pronouciation was a bit better. Like in Sakamichi Apollon (Beck came before, I know). But Engrish it is... Koyuki has a nice voice. :) Eh. Not sure if I like Maho or not! And when I think about the ages of the characters, their actions are a bit weird. I wish they were all a couple years older, in high school+, but oh well. :> |
| It was gay when they sung in harmony. |

  |
| That ending was pretty nice, let's see what happens next though! |
 |
| This was the most beautiful (naked) poolside duet that I've heard. I loved the harmonies. That was such a powerful and emotional scene, and it was perfectly directed. You could just feel the chemistry between Maho and Koyuki the entire time. "Moon on the Water" baby. |
 |
| Wow! Maho sure is bold. I really love her voice <3 |
| ITT: People complaining about nips not being about to sing songs in English properly (The Dying Breed and Rocket Boys). Why THE FUCK would those two bands have Japanese songs? You guys are retarded. |
| I watched episode 4 over two full years ago (well, I'm two days past the two year anniversary of the last time I watched this show) so it did kind of take me awhile to get back into the swing of this. My opinion of the dub is a bit different than the last time (I think when I watched this, I was still more of a dub viewer). It has it's problems, several of the lines feel stilted & a bit awkward but the dub's strength showed whenever they begin singing. I listened to the Japanese version of Full Moon Sway (or Moon on the Water, Youtube's not making it obvious what it's name is), & yeah, the dub is far stronger here. Not only do you not have to hear Engrish but the vocals themselves are far better. This episode was mostly good because of the songs, really, really love Full Moon Sways. One of my favorite songs from anime. The rest of the episode was okay I guess, though the animation was definitely bad, which is surprising from Madhouse. |
| Well, I started the series a few months ago and dropped it afrer 3 episodes. Today I decided to watch it again and I think this ep is not boring like the others. It's getting better. Maybe because of the songs as mentioned above. Full Moon Sway was really good. Liked it. |
   |
| The animation was a bit creepy in this episode. They look like decapitated heads floating on the water, singing earnestly into eternity. Oh well, can't be helped, I'm being nitpicky. |
