| Satou sure looks like a puppy. I still don't know what to think about him since seeing him acting so passively wasn't really that engaging, honestly. I'm a bit intrigued about his past tho. Anyways, interesting start overall. The premise is simple yet interesting enough. The main duo and the other members of the band also seem to be quite likeable so far. Not to mention that the little performance they did was quite impressive as well. That said, I'm looking forward to the next episode! |
| OST is incredible. I really liked the song they played to Sato and I'm curious why he want to learn playing guitar so much. |

| DAAAANG! Lerche is killing it this season, with mysteries of space and musical BL (luckily not the rapey kind). Plus, with this series being Fuji TV Noitamina's 1st BL series, I can foresee this is gonna be great. So, Uenoyama's VA being last season's Kono Oto Tomare's Chika, comedic sessions are in place, along with Yuuma Uchida's track record of mixing seriousness and comedy. Plus, Satou's VA being Tsurune's Nanao, plus one for doggy-wagging comedic effect. Absolutely love the E.T. moment of idiotic show-off. Great OST, Uenoyama's band's intro, slick and perfect. Great OP and soothing instrumental ED (piano ver.). Summer 2019 really is kicking into high gear in surprises, and this is one of the many unexpected surprises. Onward next episode! |
 |
| Finally! I've waited for three years for this to become anime, I'm SO HAPPY. Mafuyu is so cute and Uenoyama is like another Kudou (Kono oto Tomare) just their looks are different XD Haruki looks so beautiful (っ´▽`)っ. Can't wait to listen Mafuyu sing... |
| that was just a fine great start of a first episode! bromance!? yaoi!!? to hell with that! this 2nd show from Lerche has a smooth feeling to it! 5/5. |

Eiralyndel said: lmao, good post...Haha, I didn't know Karasuno had started a band! Kageyama, Tsukki, Asahi, and the presumably new member Hinata. I loved the episode, and really, I couldn't stop seeing the MC as Kageyama. So cool and adorable at the same time xD I can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| Damn, that was good. I think I'm gonna put it on hold, at least until Carole and Tuesday finishes, but I'm definitely picking it back up again at some point. Also, I don't know why, but I always immediately fall for the women in yaoi shows. There was Gou when I watched Free, Yuuko in Yuri on Ice and now Yayoi in this one. |
| I remember reading the manga before but I think it was just so so. But wow, the anime adaptation is really good. Good choice of VAs, the comedic scenes and reactions are on point and that band jam session was awesome! Looking forward for more! |
| Very nice first episode. |
| I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out and I went back to check again but Sato very clearly walked in on someone hanging themselves. That explains why he snapped the string and gives Uenoyama's fixing of it all the more meaning. So if this adds an element of acceptance over someone's suicide into the story then I'm all for it. |
| Start of episode 1 were like :O Then it went quite calm till end of the episode, not bad at all for a first episode. |

| Loved every minute of it. Satou's silence was a bit awkward at first though, no wonder Uenoyama just went and fixed his guitar at once, but they are just so precious. Satou was taken by him as soon as he heard his sound, and Uenoyama-kun is so kind that he just couldn't leave Satou and his puppy eyes alone. I also really liked the other two members of Uenoyama's band. The way they wanted hard to look cool was so cool. xD Their rehearsal was amazing, and the coolest one was Uenoyama no doubt. And teaching people can be hard so I understand why Uenoyama hesitated after being asked to, but Satou just wouldn't leave his mind, and I love how he was in fact learning how to maintain his guitar during the days he didn't appear in their spot. And I loved the OP, it's pretty cool, and the ED is just adorable with Satou's puppy. It was all lovely, can't wait for more. |
 |
| I thought this was gonna be like Dokyusei but it turned out pretty good. Feels like Sato has more than what meets the eye. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| never thought i would see this get animated and i'm very pleased |
| Nice start, I liked the music and characters, there were quite fun and cute moments too. Looking forward to the next episodes. |
  |
| I thought it was a good first episode but something did feel a little... off. I'm in it for the long haul though. My favorite part was in the OP though  I read enough of the manga to know how important this is. |
| What nice pace and direction, like a work of art. I rlly like it so far. Uenoyama reminds me of Kageyama from Haikyuu n Sato is soft yet smooth, they got nice chemistry, too. |
| I loved everything about this first episode. The characters and design were great. The jam session was heaven! This anime looks like a slow burner to me, so I am bracing myself for some serious drama. Can't wait to see how the romance between Mafuyu and Uenoyama will unfold. The ED is wonderful by the way. This little white dog already has my heart. I am looking forward to next week for sure! |
 |
| I really related to not being as excited about guitar anymore. I can't even remember when I tried to practice and not just jam some shit lol Really promising first episode, probably one of my favorites this season so far |
| Nice OP Pretty enjoyable episode,but im kinda worrying about genre : shounen ai Seems promising |
| I haven't read the manga, but I totally love the anime. The visuals are amazing, the music is lovely and the action doesn't feel rushed at all. In fact, I like how characters interact, especially Matsuyu and Ritsuko. Can't wait to see how the anime will develop. |
| How much BL can i expect? im more interested in the music/band aspect of it. Gives me a reason to use my best headphones with the new amp/dac combo i got ;) |
| For some reason I love the whole concept, the soft atmosphere with good amount of humor. Also the dog is very fluffy, for some reason this made me very happy??? The animation was a bit awkward at times but overall it is pretty and well made. I haven't read the manga so I don't know what to expect and how well it is adapted but, for the first time in ages I hope this week would go faster so the second ep comes out |
RebelPanda said: Not bad. Finally a shounen-ai with no sexual assault or child grooming. Basic plot so far, it basically writes itself from the first scene. I haven't seen enough of these animated to be tired of it. The jokes were standard but the reactions were funny. Decent animation, loved the music. Exactly! I want to see some gay romance but everything besides Doukyuusei is pure garbage so my standards are really low. So low, that this first episode really surprised me. I liked the characters besides Mafuyu. He seems a bit annoying. Oh look at me I'm a cute helpless twink, what's a guitar? But I'm sure we're going to see some growth from him. The animation was nice, especially for a shounen-ai. I liked the music as well. |
| Loving this already. Mafuyu, Ritsuka, Kaji, and Haruki are all very compatible with one another. Art is fairly good. Also, Mafuyu is a precious cinnamon roll and is absolutely best boy of the season, hands down. |
| That was a really good first episode. Since it's a BL I'll stay cautiously optimistic since Doukyuusei is still the only BL anime to not be completely wretched but at least it started off better than pretty much any BL I've seen. |
 |
| Did they animate the fingering with CG? That looks pretty nice and natural |
 |
| Wish I can rate this anime 100/10, that's how happy I am they picked this to animate. Read the manga a few months back and thought it was really good. Never thought they'd actually make it an anime. I've been disappointed in the BL genre in anime for a while now. Especially after Super Lovers and Love Stage. But with this and Ten Count, they are definitely redeeming BL. So excited. <3 |

| Not the most mindblowing of first episode but it was solid. Definitly will try the second episode. |
 |
| Very nice, loved the introduction of the characters |
| if you microwave a frozen pizza, youre dead to me. And what the hell was with that explosion effect in the end scene?..... |

| is there gonna be explicit gay sex? just asking, so I can watch it I'm okay with boys love as long as there's no explicit tongue kissing or sex. |
