| Well, the first thing that comes to mind for this anime is "quirky". But it's a unique and interesting kind of quirky. I can't say I loved it, but I did like it. Minare is really energetic and I like how obscure her references feel (at least to me, like Bossa Nova covers of J-pop tunes?). To be honest, I had no idea what was happening in the first half with that bear. And I'm still not entirely sure lol A show to look at this season definitely. |
 |
| I like anime which are more on the weird side so I think this is pretty good. I guess this is more for the mature audience, too. I hope the direction it takes doesn't change. |
| Quite the unusual first episode, to say the least. I thought I prepared myself with the PVs and whatnot but this was certainly not what I was expecting. Still pretty good though! Our MC kind of feels like a matured version of Eripyo-san from Oshi Budoukan last season, and I loved it honestly. She's such a good actor though, I thought for sure that she was in the mountains until the reveal lol. Not the nicest move from the Director to record and then play this on his radio but I suppose he saw something in her? However that may be, I have absolutely no clue how radio shows work. Comedy was honestly a hit-or-miss and this is clearly something the Japanese audience would understand better, but I'd a fairly great time so I'm looking to more! Damn, that ED song is soothing btw. And tacica for the Op, I haven't heard an Op/ED from them since Haikyu!! and it makes me wonder why their songs haven't featured much in the medium yet. |

| Interesting first ep! |
 |
| From the author of Blade of the Immortal comes one that has a unique setting like last season's Runway de Waratte. It's the usual Sunrise production, so yeah that's in anyway of what they have done over the years. _MushiRock11_ said: Even in the manga, MC Koda Minare has that flare, and although in the anime it's voiced by someone else, the same feelings eject to fluidness, which is just great.Our MC kind of feels like a matured version of Eripyo-san from Oshi Budoukan last season, and I loved it honestly. She's such a good actor though, I thought for sure that she was in the mountains until the reveal lol. Being a radio DJ isn't as easy of a job, one that's often confined by the directors and mixing engineers to do what they're capable of according to social standards and raking in listenership. Same as Oshi Budoukan, the comedy is hit-or-miss, but provides the atmosphere for a goody two-shoes premise. Is it one to fuel your unknowing desires, or one to debate about? For the radio director to use Koda's words for her start as a total amateur into radio, WOW THAT WAS BALLS TO THE WALL some backstabbing shit. OP/ED are both good as well. One of the better premieres so far, very intrigued, not to mention interesting. |

| I liked it. It was refreshing to listen to the pissed off rambling of that woman after watching so many run-of-the mill series about cute girls, teen angst and the like, but I am afraid it as well can become stale after a few episodes and her voice at times was a bit irritating. Anyway it will spice up this season for me that is for sure. |

夏草や 兵どもが 夢の跡  |
| The fact this show's MAL score is over 1 point below Tower of God simply goes to show what's wrong with the MAL's userbase these days, sigh. Amazing show. |
| damn that was exhausting to watch...hmm |
 |
| Out of everything this season, this is the show I had the highest hopes for, besides BNA, and you know what? It's pretty fucking good. The characters are all fun and hilarious the art style matches the more adult tone incredibly well. It's the one complaint I have about similar shows to this like Shirobako and Sakura Quest (both of which I love) that the characters are drawn like typical, boring useable-at-any-stated-age anime girls. Here, the characters actually look like adults for once. To be honest, I was a little bit lost at the beginning before they revealed what the bear thing actually was, but other than that, one of the best shows of the season, right here. |
| I just removed this title from the recording list of my HDD recorder. |
| LOL. Now the score is below 7. Thanks to shonen boys who only cares for their waifu thing. I found this very funny and its make me want to watch again! Remind me Nana for me. |
| Love the OP & ED. This made me curious and aftr watching I'm hooked and yes it has Eripyo's vibe. |
 |
can't get past the first 5 min of the actual show. One of the easiest drops of the season for me. /dropped |
| Haha! so this is about when she's drunk and she didn't even knew she made a rank about her self at the radio station...then things happened like serendipity? lolz 4/5. |
 |
| Not bad, it was pretty entertaining !! |
ahneeme said: I could not make it past 5 minutes of her endless blabbering!!! It was necessary to give viewers a head start on what kind of series they are getting into. Without this, episode 1 would have fell short by 10 minutes easily. This bear and blabbering scene happens at later part of manga. Else they adapted first chapter completely. And this series was got 4th position in Manga Taisho Awards 2020. Before that it got 5th rank in 2017 awards of the same. You can guess source material is incredibly good and Sunrise did a damn good job with this adaptation. |

| Holy mackerel, that was an insane ride. I have no idea if I even like it, but the energy level is insane. Pretty sure we can run the worlds power on one episode of this. |
 |
| This was a blast. Such a stupid premise but I loved the energy. The entire fake bear chase thing was so weird but fun to watch. |
| It was full of blabbering and screaming, at some point it was annoying yet it was fun to watch because of that high level of energy. The animation's really good but that round shadow looking thing really pisses me off. Still I'll continue listening to Minare's blabberings. |

| This was a good, refreshing first episode. The market right now is saturated with cliche high school shows so this was much needed! The protag is pretty relatable and the show is fun so far. The score is pretty unfair since a lot shows that are average are rated in the 7 range, but aight? |
| Man, this season's series are going pretty well so far.. Love the plot and the vibe.. Since I am so fed up lately by the isekai series, I gotta tell, these slife of life series (also worth mentioning Kakushigoto this season) are the gems!! <3 |
| Prushka will forever be in OUR HEARTS |
| I keep telling myself this is so boring, yet I just can't stop watching... Also ED is amazing. |
| i like it so far, definitely love the female mc (and her voice) but what's with the eyes? and why is that mado guy acting all high and mighty and shit and saying how he'd get fired there's silence for like 7 seconds or something so he's making her talk he's the one who made her complaints public without her permissions isn't that illegal?? or is it not in japan? so why is he acting like she's in the wrong here? he should be scared she can sue him for this. |
| There’s no way a monologue show needs that many people in the control room. Unrealistic. I’ve seen DJ’s do it all solo. I can see maybe an assistant for tech but no more than that. Anyway, I loved it. The content was great! |
| The first episode was pretty good but I'll rate it a 6 for now and will bump up my score depending on how it goes. It really is charming but this is a niche series for people who love radio. I'm gonna be honest, I don't listen to a lot of radio unless I'm at a convenience store and the clerk put it on speaker. Even though in real life, I rarely meet women complaining about being single even in their 30s, it's such a funny stereotype in Anime along with lolis, harems, etc. Even when I lived in Japan, I met lots of women in their 30s and even 40s who were single but weren't as dramatic as Minare. However, I'm guessing in this series, her romantic interest will be that old guy she met in the bar. |
| 臭い- |
| Such a Japanese show. Not a great show for an escapist. Not much fun so far, but I can see how it could turn fun. Not liking Sugiyama. |
| Quite a different show, isn't it? Protagonist is really charismatic and I love all the Role-play things the Radio put in the beginning. I got a little confused at the middle but regained the focus later on, really appreciated the different air of this anime. I guess... I guess it's a 8/10 for now |
 |
| Interesting, bit different from what I usually watch but enjoyable. I will give it a try and we will see. |
| This one's certainly unique. Cool that the Blade of the Immortal author did this one. I like Minare a lot. Fucked up that the radio guy aired their conversation about Minare's relationship to the whole world, though. |
| An ok start. Not a big fan so far but it's too early to be pessimistic. Might get better later on. 3/5 |
| I guess I'm the only one who got lost track of the show because of the eyeballs...and I even went to check out the manga regarding the eyeballs... |
| . |
| Not that interesting. I only gave episode 1 a try cause someone else mentioned the anime. It is okay-ish. And I like mature chars. But I don't like the setting (radio) and the probably episodical setup and how they do those fake stories (pretending you are threatened by a bear and stuff) ... probably more of an episodic comedy anime for adults that like this type of stories. Not going to watch anymore of it. |
| I prefer the manga. This is kinda overwhelming, it feels like the voice actors simply never shut up. Dropped. |
| :3 |
| whats going on? is she ok? |
 |
| It took me re-watching the episode, and paying really close attention to what she was saying, before I really started liking it. First time through, I was like "well, she was super-energetic and eccentric, but those long radio segments just went on and on, and I could barely comprehend what was going on and what the emotional significance of all of this eccentricity was, so idk?" Second time through, really taking time to look at every single word that was spoken during those radio segments, and this show is a FASCINATING character study of a 25-something woman coming to terms with her own failings and her own personal demons through her eccentric radio rants. This show is not the easiest to watch, but it has some really interesting things to say about the narratives we tell ourselves to remain sane when things go wrong in our lives. I really liked it! |
delta5 said: The MC gave me Eripiyo vibes in a weird way...if Eripiyo were a raving drunk instead of a raving idol otaku. Good times. I'm into this. Indeed! BTW ... eri would've lost to the bear xd |
 |
| Wow, the animation (or is it the art?) is really breathtaking! I'm hooked already. Even if I haven't got anything to say about the story yet, the MC girl is captivating. Looking forward to seeing how it would unfold... |
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |

Not going to watch anymore of it. You never know... Unless the issue is something like sound is really bad, or you just can't even stand the animation, even if the genres may not be of your taste, I belive you at least gotta give it 3 episodes chances. Remember the 3 episodes rules. I belive that it could do great thing, and dropping it directly in the first episode with that uncertainty might end being bad for you. Thought I agree with you, and might drop if this keep till episode 3 (because i hate cyclics animes, unless they're as good comedies as asobi asobase o aho girl), I belive that it might surprises us. You could at least give it a chance chance by watching it and skipping what makes you bored. |
