I gotta admit, this girl named Kanade can play that violin pretty well. Otherwise, it's what I thought from the first episode with the introduction. I wonder how far she will go to make an impression. The music was nice I guess.

Na, she needs to surpass it.

That violin in the beginning of the ED was beautiful, too bad I can't say I enjoyed it when the singing began.

The music during the competition was nice, especially Ritsu's. But Ritsu, way to make everyone else in the club hate on your brother and childhood friend. Perhaps it would've been wiser to show off their skills first...maybe.

Ah, another reverse harem MC who actually talks! Spring 2014 is amazing so far. But really, thank goodness she talks.

I was seriously looking forward to this since the original La Corda D'oro is what turned me into an anime fan.

It seemed a little too rushed and the production values weren't exactly great but I can live with that! Just hope they don't try and cram the series in 12 episodes. I don't think they will. It would be extremely foolish to do that.

Looking forward to more!

Yay seiyuu ED and OP! :)

The episode was a bit slow, but not bad at all. Nodame and Corda 1 was more about solos/bands/orchestras, and it seems like this is about chamber music? HYPEHYPEHYPE! Main characters are decent. I like Kyoya and Daichi. I'm interested to see more of Chiaki and Yukihiro.

Double cast for violin, that legit took me off guard.

The OP and ED songs are lovely, it's nice to have a song that's not sung by a woman who sounds like a 5 year old trying to sing, as many anime seem to have. Also the musical pieces in the episode were really nice to listen to - looking forward to the next episode :)

So few people watching this :( I thought the first episode was pretty good.

Interested to see more of the character dynamics and background between the MC, Ritsu, and Kyoya.

Curious as to whether the MC becomes a SUPER SHONEN HEROINE who NEVER GIVES UP and SURPASSES HER LIMITS. There seems to be a large harem, so perhaps she will also discover the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP?

Also curious as to whether she will actually end up with a dude or if the show will just leave the ending open. I've seen shows where the open ending works fine and, given that they've also already set up a competition plotline and maybe a 'conflict between the two brothers based on their backstory' plotline, they might be able to get away with it here without it feeling like a letdown.

I got the weirdest feeling that this will be an open ending like every other harem I've seen (well I know some that managed to end up with a guy). Anyways, if it's gonna be an open ending then I hope that Kanade is gonna end up being a really awesome badass violinist. My expectations have been set....that's bad, I'm expecting too much from this -.-

Another reverse harem huh. Strangely enough, I will most likely watch a few more episodes of this. I don't even really like the music theme, but the whole competitive nature about going to the nationals and all those rivals and that new pairing that will hopefully surprise everyone with their skills and teamwork... Damn this is hitting my ganbatte weak spot hard. And it seems like this is going to make up for all the things that I don't really enjoy here... For now anyway. ^^

Mmm seems it's not going to be that good, just an ok anime.
The music was nice, some of the characters too.
The girl was regular, like every other reverse harem girl... that's a disappointment.

Didn't feel excitement while watching. Guess these will be to kill some time.

I don't think so, there are quite a few similarities and this one (for now) doesn't seem that's going to be that bad.

lol the opening song gave me flash backs of an older anime Neo Angelique Abyss.

characters look kinda plain to me. i liked the character from the previous La Corda d'Oro better.
the voices are very nice though!
The classical music is nice :)

I have been seen the other La Corda series so was thinking to take a look into this one, it was surprising good.
I got a feeling of Kanade will not have any confident to enter competition but she do have a talent for it.
Not copy magic violin I hope.
They all look pissed when president decide to choose double cast violin, of course they won't hesitated to denied why two new members will enter competition.

Will we hear Ave Marie next?

I'm glad this doesn't continue the story from the other Corda d'Oros. I hated that the mc in that couldn't actually play and basically cheated her way through the competitions. This new mc at least can play pretty well already so the goal is presumably attainable.

The characters so far have been boringly stereotypical, so I'm hoping that there's at least some character development in this to make things more interesting.

So, a pretty bland MC so far. A chock load of (rather bland) boys already, and the budget constraints are showing. That fantastically shoujo closing shot, oh my.

Will stay for the classy tunes and nostalgia. A shame that crunchyroll is fubbing the translation. Hopefully there'll be some great ensemble piece selections especially seeing as how all our characters seem to be skilled this time round.

DarkBlue's shaking ought to mean he's got some career-breaking medical condition, so we'll fitting have our one of the two second violinists take up his place.

AngryRed seems to know our MC, presumably from her earlier competition days, and was probably a rival or inspired by her. Perhaps he's the one that sent the letter.

The Cellist sounds so feminine, hnnngh.

Next week: school drama.
I wonder if the fairy will appear.

The characters seem boring (probably because it's missing the best boy) however the music itself is fantastic.

Admittedly, my memories of the old show are long past, but happy and spunky was clearly trumped by kawaii cellist. What is with this series and little blonde cellists? GreenSoccerPianist was clearly the best boy, otherwise

Fair enough, but it least that insecurity gave for some entertaining drama. This new MC has got... conquering deficiencies? (But 1 episode is too soon to judge, of course.)

Seeing how it was PurpleTremble that mentioned the fairy, perhaps he was given divine protection from his ills? We'll have to wait and see what these clearly not important rings mean.

1. The ikemen look way too gud it hurts my eyes. They don't even look like high school ppl

2. 1st ep was boring (maybe cuz the characters). Just a generic setup for whats to come

3. Enjoyed some of the OST. Meh.

I remembered those of Reiji's and Ritsu's - Chaconne and La Campanella...

But i cant remember the titles for Kanade's and Chiaki's... they're just stuck on top of my head for hours.. TwT)
Does anyone know? They both sound so familiar and the agony of not finding the answer is just killing. D;

Ah well not bad I guess though I don't like spineless characters who let people around them push them into directions they don't really want to go to. Well I suppose it was needed to jumps start the story and get them involved into the competition.

I just don't understand why this is a whole new serie instead of a new season for the original La Corda D'Oro story? I miss the old cast and can't help but compare them with the new one and so far I only like Kyoya and Chiaki's char design though his personality seems to be a bit too arrogant.

And wait Ritsu and Kyoya are borthers? I only noticed just now :O

I only watched it for Kiniro no corda which is something I loved. Sadly, it doesn't live up to its name... The art is clean but nothing too special. It looks like something from 2005... There is no comedy, not one I noticed. It looks so... unmotivated. Gah, I don't like where it's going.

I don't want to drop it, so I guess, I will put it on hold? Hopefully the rating crosses 7 mark (though I don't see it happening)

6/10 for now, it was fine.

Hmm, not my flavor, wasn't entertaining, but yet, wasn't boring. So far, Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is in last place for anime this season for me. I would put La Corda d'Oro Blue Sky, right above it. This is of course based on first impressions.

However my first impression of this probably puts this as one my lowest for this season as well...
