=/, People saying his drumming matched the rhythm, that really isn't hard if you blur the drumsticks however I will give credit where credit is due and say they did get a nice drumming soundtrack. However I would also like to say that I'm a little disappointed that this anime might revolve around just a Piano and drums... without the winds Jazz pieces just lack something. Also no bass... I dunno, gonna watch it definitely however was hoping they would incorporate pieces I really like however that isn't gonna work if their are only two people.

There were enough shonen ai shipping moments in that one episode to write an entire novel, I'm definitely interested in how this plays out.

Really like the opening, this looks like a promising series. The pace feels just right and the interactions between the three main characters are intriguing. The historical setting is an excellent choice for homage to jazz, looking forward to where this goes. Also Sentarou reminds me of Kiyoshi from KuroBas.

Started because I wanted to see more anime directed by Shinichiro Watanabe's since I love Cowboy Bebop. I love jazz, and I usually don't like quiet/misanthropic characters but Kaoru actually warmed up to me as this episode progressed. When Ri called him by his first name I giggled. And characters (and men in general) like Sentarou I have a gravitational pull/fatal attraction towards.

So the cast seems pretty lovable, I just can't wait to see how the plot develops. :)

I've been looking for an anime to fill the hole left by the completion of Nodame Cantabile. I think I have found that anime. The animation is great, the music is great, the characters are great (so far). Man...can this get any better? I'm only 1 episode in!

Oh god. This is the Slice of Life anime I've been search for my whole life.

I instantly recognised all the records in the record store. watching this was just pure bliss.

The pacing is just like the swing of jazz itself.

Decent start so far, the MC however did had me worried at first because of his edgy line at the beginning of the episode "i hate all of this" lol.
I just hope we don't go into that "love triangle" bullshit territory.

Great OP by the way!

Captivating!

As I picked the show up with no prior knowledge regarding the setting or premise, I was completely amazed. The atmosphere of the show, an amalgamation of the 1960s setting and jazz music, is superb, further complemented by the dynamic protagonist duo (or trio). The quality of animation doesn't disappoint either. I'm definitely looking forward to (binge) watching the following episodes.

The (background) music is enchanting, nothing less from Yoko Kanno.

Damn great first episode, chemistry between Sentaro and Kaoru (Richie) is already fun to look at.
Loved Sentaro when he was chasing Kaoru in the hallway :D

Also, loving the jazzy vibe with the background music and overall feel of the show.

Damn, I'm not into jazz at all but I loved his drumming.

That ending with Bon's walking was great lol, he is starting to like jazz.

The opening is great, YUKI sang the opening of Sangatsu no Lion too and I recognized the voice the moment I heard the opening.
I felt bad for the main character, but at least he's got friends now.
Seems like they'll open a band soon at the store.

Well, great start so far. I'll be sticking with this.

Now, is it just me or does anybody else get a young Marlon Brando vibe from Sentaro?

It's alright so far. Can't really tell how good it's gonna be from just that episode though. Loved the part where the guy played a bit of Clair De Lune :) Then I remembered this is gonna be a Jazz anime lol.
