| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not sure what to think about this anime. Episode was ok, kept me interested somewhat. |
 |
| The Engrish was hilarious. As for the episode, I don't know, it was okay. Nothing much happened yet. |
 |
| episode was ok, will keep watching loved the OP :3 |
 |
| Interesting, but agreed, not much to go with for now. On to episode two~~ |
 |

 |

It looks like some cartoon, is this rlly worth watching? :S haha the art is a little different than what im used to as well (in addition to the engrish.....) im currently on ep 20 and I have to say that beck is pretty good, you get used to the art, kinda meh animation and engrish, becasue the story is pretty nice (exp for me since I play guitar) |
 |
| This show floats my boat. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Broken english is neato, makes it more real I think? (I love opinions, especially mine) |
| i just finished watching this anime in subbed about a week ago and now i desided to rewatch it but in english and so i just wastched episode one and i still need some time to get used to the voices since im not really a dubbed person, im more of a sub person :) |

| This episode was a bit bland but it has got me interested. I thought the english was quite good but the japanese accent did come through quite strongly sometimes but at other times it was like listening to a drunk native. |
 |
| I'm not loving the American language speakers. They all have accents, either that or it sounds unnatural and turns me off to the show a bit. Why did they stop talking for 2-3 years? I'm not loving the main character a lot but at least the other guy is interesting and the girl isn't annoying. Where are you guys watching it? I'm watching a not wonderful copy. |

| strange absensce of rock music in an anime about a rock band |
 RtheO |
| Nothing too special so far. It wasn't bad, it just didn't impress. |

The main character hasn't even joined a band yet.strange absensce of rock music in an anime about a rock band The episode was better than okay, but I didn't love it. Looks like it could get interesting though. |
 |
| Dunno what to say... I was expecting more? |
 |
| Loving da Engrish. 'No, you did not just call me Baka!' OH NO YOU DIDN'T! |

Totally agree I thought I'd check this out since I heard it referred as a music anime next to Nodame Cantabile. But as good-time said: good-time said: Dunno what to say... I was expecting more? I'll hang on for a bit in hopes that the episodes get better. |
| Such junk... |
| surprised at all the dubious comments lol I enjoyed it ._. it wasnt eventful when I think abt it.. but I want to know where the story will take us |
 |
| Ok , ugly art. |
| Rewatching cos its just so much of an awesome anime. :D |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| First time seeing it, im into the music animes and so far i'm enjoying the english :D hopefully when ryusuke was fighting the thugs his accent was drunk and not fobby/broken/azn/etc haha on to da next one <3 |
 |
| Love Yukio's voice. It's the same as Kazehaya from Kimi ni Todoke. The first episode is not bad, I think I'll keep watching it. |
    |
| Hmm, I don't know about these dubious comments... LOL, but no, seriously, this series is oozing quality already. From the very first scene I noticed the directing was more art-style, and the way the plot is unfolding is both unusual and expository. I'm quite enjoying this even though the artwork seems low-budget (let's just say it looks like they didn't have much money but they spent it very well) |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I'm watching this anime after getting about halfway through the manga series. It's great, but as manga that revolves around music, I think it's unfortunate that I can't actually hear how amazing Koyuki's voice is supposed to be or how funky Taira's bass playing is. (It's always funny seeing the reactions on people's faces when Koyuki starts sining.) First off, the animation is pretty sub-par. The mouth movements when people are talking seem really choppy. However, this won't keep me from watching the anime. I just hope they don't use too much of that 3D to animate the characters when they play. It'll be too distracting otherwise. They did the same thing after the first season of the Nodame Cantabile anime, but the animation was better. It must be hard animating a musician's hands. Next thing is the Engrish. Since there is going to A LOT of spoken later, this is a pretty important part. The three drunk guys sounded like they were all voiced by native English speakers (which is a good thing), but the lines sound a bit awkward (They weren't very good at voice acting). When Ryuusuke first spoke English, I thought, there's an accent there, but he's better than most of the Japanese voice actors they get to speak English. My opinion changed as the episode continued. Japanese people probably think the English is impressive, but the Japanese who speak English in anime always sound like their mouths are full of cotton. There probably aren't any voice actors who are good at speaking both English and Japanese, so there's not much they can do about that. I'll just end up cringing a lot later on.... Not much actually happened in this episode, but I know good things are to come, so that's not so big of a deal. I expected there to be better music playing in the background for an anime revolving around music, but it just feels so silent at times. I think some of the scenes would feel more engaging if there was a better soundtrack. I also think the anime would benefit if it had some of Koyuki's narration outside the dialogue. You just can't understand the guy unless you know what he's thinking. That's my opinion so far. |
  |
| Ok not the best first episode, im not really "hooked" but i will keep watching cuz i just love music anime and because of it's high rating (hope it turns good soon enough!) |
 |
| Oh no Engrigh! A Japanese actor is talking English with an accent, tragedy. They should hire some white lady to pretend to be Japanese and switch her Rs with Ls. Now THAT is the proper way to create English with a Japanese accent. Fake accents > authentic accents |
 |
| I am totally digging the art style of this anime. I expect good things in the next episodes to come. |
 |
| I definitely like the series so far. The music is a big part of making it interesting. I did like the Engrish from the "foreigners." It is nice to hear a little English in anime without it having to be dubbed. I also do like how the animation syncs with the music. I am excited to see more. |
| Well just finished this and i liked it very much i found the story quite nice for a music anime and the english is quite bad at times but comparing to other animes its perfect. The only thing lacking is the art specially in some episodes at times it becomes quite obvious even if u don't really pay attention to the art much. |
 |
| Nothing special happened... and was kinda a long (almost boring) epi.. |
| ... |
| I tried to watch the first episode since I'm into music anime. But this show was not for me. Really weird atmosphere. Didn't like it at all. And it made me realize how much I disliked rock music. |
| Pretty good first episode, I liked it. |
 |
| Finally got around starting this series. Last year, I watched the masterpiece Nana. Izumi seems like an interesting girl despite being labeled as near perfect. Ryusuke is a pretty cool guy imo. And oh that Engrish, so fucking cool. Think I'm going to enjoy this. |
 |
| I was really surprised to see so much English dialogue in the episode. I'm not even sure how I feel about this show yet, need to see more. |
 |
| Watching it dubbed. Actually pretty good. |
 |

 |
| Strange art, not what I'm used to seeing. |
 |
| Not a fan of the muted art style. Also, why did his childhood friend suddenly talk to him again after 2 years and why did MC shrug it off like it was nothing? Pretty dull introductory episode but eh, maybe it'll get better once the other characters start to get introduced. |

And he shruged it of because he likes her. |
 |
| Looks pretty sweet,but the animation kinda sucks :/ |
  |
| I loved the manga and I'm excited about the adaptation. I like Koyuki, he is a sincere guy. Some great things are coming for him. |
| A decent start, there doesn't seem to be much structure in this first episode but well I do wonder what this anime has to offer us! |
 |
| The dub version was just hilarious. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
