For those who already watch the first episode, what do you think about this anime??
Is this anime worth to watch?? Or just another 'waste of time'??

Depends on what you like.

You should find out for yourself. A few minutes of watching would probably let you know.

Personally, I think it's heavier on the slice of life than anything else. I like it so far.
moving on.

Definitely. Gives me Kimi to Boku vibes with Utapri themes.

it's just one of the most boring shows i've ever seen. don't waste your time, unless you're a fangirl who just wants some bishonen to look at (and even in that case, there are far better shows out there)

As a realistic slice of life show this is a good time passer. It's not entertaining or even gripping, it's more of an honest character biography.

Completely subjective. Episode 3 was really intriguing even though I was a bit bored with the previous two episodes. Even if you're not looking for the cute boys singing and dancing, this show has much more than that.

I would recommend it if you like realistic-type anime. Not the best show out there but it is definitely not as bad as MAL suggests. 5.94 is a joke, don't fall for it.

Well, it is decent in my opinion but it depends on what you like to watch too.

But don't you guys think 5.94 already proven this anime is just another 'waste of time'? Im a guy but if this show is about bunch of guys singing and dancing then is not worth my time then..

MAL is quick to judge "bishounen pop idols".

So far, the only singing has been in the EDs.

Maybe it's not worth your time then, not because there's been a lot of guys singing and dancing (because like T3hSource said, there hasn't), but because it's like, the epitome of slice of life. The story barely feels like it's going anywhere, but I agree with Shaniyaz from the episode 4 discussion:
Shaniyaz said:
Rather than idol performances, it focuses on the philosophical elements than an idol may come across.

If you like slice of life with philosophical elements, then you may want to try at least 2 or 3 episodes. The terrible score for this anime is probably due to it not being everyone's cup of tea, which is fine. At least some of us enjoy it, maybe not like "omg best anime ever," but still good.

Hey, lots of shows were under those numbers but rose when it finished airing. People just judge things too quickly. Take Ping Pong which was under an 8 until it finished airing and now it's a whopping 8.66. Anything female orientated and recent on MAL is always rated poorly anyway.

Well after the first couple episodes it is watchable without being boring. Its actually picking up, but the other SoLs this season like Free!, Nozaki-kun, and Barakamon kinda overshadow this series and it does not really stand out to me.

Probably might rate 6 or 7 by the end.

7 Episodes is enough time, althought irdc for ratings that much... nor am I going to go in about "it's underrated" etc etc........ but for the love of god this anime is boring. I would not recommend this, this show is not everyone and I mean that literally. Only a few could handle this. It doesn't do anything wrong but it doesn't do anything amazing. It's not shit and neither is it decent.


After seeing 7 episodes, I'm dropping. It started off with promise and then just kept disappointing. That last episode was awful imo.

Don't waste your time. It increasingly becomes a burden to watch as it progresses.

Oooh, lots of hate comments just because of episode 7... LOL haters gon' hate

I myself, think it's a 7/10 at best right now unless the last few episodes can hold its quality. It's kind of inconsistent overall as some episodes are just so incredible while others are kind of sloppy/mediocre (not sure if thats the right words). They switch from character to character so sometimes, one character isn't as interesting as the other.

Yeah, I'm gonna agree with "it's not for everyone" and it might even become painful to watch if you have perfect pitch because they don't sing very well in the show (excluding OP/ED)

I personally enjoy this anime, as I like seeing the each character's development. It's a good watch if you like something more realistic.
I know some people assume this is gonna be like Utapri, where there are a few bishounen singing and basically have no plots except for just showing the bishounen. At first I thought like that but after just watching episode 1 I know this is a totally different. I am a fan of Utapri but I can say basing on the plot and everything else, ShoHari is better. But I cannot recommend this to everyone since not many people find this kind of thing interesting

If you just check and see who is voting shit then you will get it.

Oh and I see too much hate in this anime. But why you guys/gals are watching it? If you hate it that much just fuck off and let people watch in peace.

It's like K-ON or Kimi to Boku...It focuses on each of them and takes turns.

Well unlike UtaPri this anime is more realistic and slow paced. I myself didn't enjoy this series until about halfway through then I actually started to enjoy it.

I'm kinda sad at the low score, but I am not really surprised cause of how slow paced and boring it is. I personally gave it a 7/10 and I'm glad we got another male idol series that isn't UtaPri. I really hope for some more male idols in the future.

I think the other flack it gets is because unlike UtaPri and other idol anime (Utapri is the only idol anime I watched so I don't know if this is an accurate statement) is that they never really sing in show in the first season its mostly just a slow buildup of them training and getting their image out to the public.
