Am I only one who think singing "La la la la..." is cringeworthy?
How moonlanders differentiate "la" and "ra" anyway?

Man, this show is so low budget... looks as cheap as Endride. CGI instruments and band members are jarring.

Couldn't stand watching half the episode... :s Have a hard time imagining someone just bursting into some vocals/"la la la" like that. Can't stand it. If she could at least sing a song. But like that she just seems like a weird person.

A reverse White Album 2????? definitely not!! even I got embarrassed watching Nino.

The charas are a bit 2emo4me, add in some angsty and melodrama, and I fear that's the path its going to tread. Probably stick around for a couple more eps to decide.....

After Fuuka... we got this. And Hayomi Saori again. But I don't think this was a good start.

For the starters, the plot feels very weak and the way characters behave, mainly the main heroine and Yuzu, was way too silly. Why was Nino singing her Lalalaa almost constantly, even when situations not fit for this? I have trouble believing she's actually in the high school. Why is she wearing the mask? Is it just because it looks cool? And why the heck Yuzu was telling her not to talk with him again when he was blushing and was okay with her during piano scene? The motivations, everything - it doesn't make any sense.
The story polygon is way too predictable already, even now, at the start of the show.

And the only one likeable character there was Miou, maybe. Momo seems like a prick.

Is this some kind of reverse harem? It seems so because otherwise this wouldn't look like some pubescent girl fanfiction.

That pacing though...and the lalala *cringe* I was pretty iffy about this adaptation because anything with singing is always going to be iffy. Hayami's singing is very nice to listen to, for example the AnoHana ED and in Tari Tari. I know she was trying to sound rough, but damn that was so bad lol. She did a good job of singing badly, but the problem I have with the singing is that when I read the manga, I imagined Nino's singing not to be necessarily bad, but like they said, rough. Meaning although it's rough, there's still something mesmerizing or intriguing about the voice. Definitely didn't feel that here, lol. To begin with, Hayami's voice is soothing, her voice does not fit rock, I think casting her as Nino was not a good choice at all. Then again, idk what other female voice actor they could've casted.

As for the music itself, I liked the first song that was sung by Miou, that song was nice. The one sung by Nino though was supposed to messy though, and I couldn't listen to the whole thing.

The animation and visuals overall is so low budget looking, looked like they were off model more than a few times as well. Though to be fair, Fukuyama Ryouko's art style really isn't fit to be animated.

Despite my negative comments, I'm glad there were people who seemed to have enjoyed the first episode. The manga isn't bad, although not amazing either. I'll give it a few episodes though, otherwise I might just follow the music but not the series itself.

the story seems kinda strange (specially how they stop the concert cause they see someone in the crowd, happened to yuzu and then to alice...), but i'm sure i'll enjoy it

Now this is a different kind of Shoujo and I'm following it.
The first part moments was kind of a fast rushed paced but it was okay!
Yamashita Daiki is gonna be busy this 2017 Spring Season with lots of series of him voicing many MC's!
The art is kinda...well i don't know that to say...shoujoish but kind of a different way of art style?
4/5.

Alice's voice is distracting and really annoying. Like if she just didn't sing it'd be bearable lol. I don't really get how she supposedly has feelings for like 2 guys? Like she attaches herself to the first one and then the other? Seems like it's going down that road.

Not a fan of the music much tbh. This show is average and has some cringy stuff that I'll just skip over while watching but I guess I'll stick through it for a bit.

Nice songs tho, much better than those from Fuuka.

Episode came as quite a surprise. I enjoyed the romance between kuzu and nino and very excited for this reverse harem love triangle it literally gives me goose bumps!!! Also i am anxious to learn why when she was singing she was screaming out silently to be stopped. definitely interested to see more.

The manga is so good! But I'm afraid this adaption might ruin it cause that first episode made me rather iffy on this whole thing but then again it is only the first episode

La la la got annoying though as well as the "rough" singing

After reading of the description of this anime, at last I have waited for the first series. And I like it! After watching I have found a manga and have read all chapters that are translated. (39). And I don't know why, but animes as come to mind such as Lovely Complex and Nana, it seems a little bit similar.

man the animation was super sloppy. i know this is the "shoujo style" but some of the face angles just looked BAD, especially when she's singing as a kid at the start... yikes. some of the proportions bordered clamp level of bad, for god sake!
also the story felt both rushed and sloppy as well as overly dramatic (yeah yeah, it's shoujo, but there's still a line!).

i legit would've dropped this after one episode if not for how rockin' the music is, lol.

I think it would be cuter if it's "Nanana" instead of "Lalala", still nice tho.

The scream-singing part is better than expected. That singing style is not everyone's cup of tea, so I understand if people think it's "bad" after hearing it first-time. Kind of thought along the same lines when I watched the pv but after hearing it for the second time it's actually pretty great. Kudos to the singer for nailing it.

Not a fan of big shoujo eyes but I won't judge based on that. It's the manga's art style so I gotta respect it. Art and animation is pretty good. Won't even talk much about the CGI bc that's people have been complaining about almost ALL the time (sigh...).

Some parts can be better, but gotta say I'm impressed. First episode-wise, so much better than Fuuka imo.

If she keeps lalala-ing in the next episode I'm gonna drop this. It's really annoying --'
Although, the singing was good didn't like the CG part and the pacing seems off as well.
Still gonna give it a chance though it depends if it gets better! :O I don't like dropping anime, I even watched Fuuka til the end even though she annoyed the hell out of me. lol!

Err... anything related to music (that’s not strictly idol themed) I’ll watch, but this wasn’t really a great first episode per se.

First, I would prefer if pacing was slower. I know it’s only 12 episodes, but it felt like a lot was crammed into it. The continuous resonance of the words La La.La! during the episode was annoying (it could have been toned-down).

I’m neutral about the characters so far, but Alice/Nino wearing a surgical mask during most of the time was odd (she either looked like a delinquent or some that’s sick)... I found funny how no one care about asking her about that. You know, like stuff like that was normal... I kinda like Nino’s personalty though.

The songs played during the concert range from fine to good, but they were lacking visually. The mix of 2D and 3D during the last performance was jarring to say the least (I have seen better)... I like the ED though.

I will keep watching for the time being... I might check out the manga afterwards.

I liked it more than I thought I would, especially since the comments on here were pretty bad. Music seems all right, the guys look and sound a little too much like girls for my taste, but I've been craving a shoujo lately so I don't mind.

Hope the animation gets a little better as the show goes on.

If you know it's shoujo, you knew you wouldn't like it since it's shoujo, so what's the point then? Surely you saw the tag which said 'Shoujo'?


Attention whores. Theyre the same kind, who post this stuff like "Uh, another fighting shounen", though there is an action and shounen tag, "Uh, lesbos", though there is a Yuri/Shoujo Ai tag and "GAAAAAYS", though there is a Yaoi tag. You cant take them seriously and such posts are actually helpful, because you immediately know they have a shitty character and you can block them directly (if the forum allows it), so I never have to hear their crap again in my life, at least in this particular online forum.

Be happy, you can sort out annyoing and dumb people that way, who are even too retarded to read simple tags.

That was great especially the music. Although I understand the cringe part of it.

One thing I already hate about it is Sakaki (sorry I can't stand this kind of character)

Nino: My Voice will forever belong to MoMo and only Momo
Yuzu: This voice will forever belong to me and only me

*Sigh*

I just hope they produce more song on this one like Nana since its pretty good so far.
