Great. but again its not like this is bad, at all. hope it doesn't effect the storytelling tho, manga fr made me think hard about my life lol Yes, some dialogues and parts from the manga were cleared. But overall very good start! Let's wait for the next episodes!! |

| Really liked this episode! Hope it all goes well for him. Teacher is really nice and supportive also. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| honestly i love how this has started and i cant wait for more |
 |
| A little lack of OST. Animation is ok for me. Pacing was a little off tho. Overall premise seems interesting. Overally decent episode. |
 |
| I watched this anime thinking it was blue lock, I got confused with the anime name and the repeated mention of blue and some football scenes made me think this was the football anime, well I already watched episode 1 so I will probably watch this season |
 |
| Was the ending song the OP? If so it's a certified banger. Anyways, a really promising start for the series. I enjoyed the animation, didn't find any problems with it. The story looks great, and the sound design was a strong point as well. Looking forward to following Yatori Yaguchi on his arts journey. |
| COnsidering this is an anime focused on art...They need to upgrade the animation imo Havent seen the episode yet but the trailers gave it away ngl The manga is a masterpiece tbh sooo Yeah i hope it is done justice to some extent |

VaneBlue said: Hi brosodobean said: Im honestly pretty disappointed by the animation, pacing and also how much content they cut out. I guess it probably means we will get 13 episodes and end on chapter 25. Also subs are pretty bad you guys should probably wait a day or 2 for better subs. They should've got gunjou for the op or ed man I hope not, I think they make 25 episodes in the first season. |

Hi! I don't add strangers here, sorry. |

LiAuN said: personally i'm really sad that my fav line from the manga"what makes you think that going to a normal univerity guarentees you sucess?" never made it into the anime (just as an fyi this is said when he asks her why go to art univercity) Yes, and some other lines were not adapted too from the first chapters of the manga. |
|
| Why people here already write reviews?? Only one episode was out! |
|
| THE MANGA IS IN MY TOP 5. The pacing seems to be a little fast, although not much of a reason to criticize. But they cut a few things from the manga. As a Drama and Slice of Life the show must be a little slowly paced or nicely follow the manga which is perfectin pacing. Thr animation looks fine, not bad but not too good either. OST seems to be amazing. The OP was good. Ruuji and Mori-senpai's VAs don't fit their voice that nicely like I thought while reading the manga. Although I enjoyed it. Hopes it don't be like ep 1 anymore and improves from the next episode. |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| The First episode was amazing to be honest before watching this i was assuming that it would be a lil boring since its story is based on art cuz during my primary school days i was very much interested towards drawing but the scenario totally changed when i get into high school.so from my personal experience i thought that it would be a lil boring anime but it was totall the opposite to what i had expected the first ep was totally amazing !!! |
 |
| For me, this episode lacked a lot of lines and the pacing was way too fast on some scene, maybe i read the manga slowly idk ^^ and the scene where the main character said ' i can do it too? ' (talking about picasso) i felt nothing in this adaptation, it was a huge kick start in the manga.. |

We didn't talk here, that is why. |
|
| I see understandable i suppose. |
|
| Struggling to find the courage in order to follow your passion gotta be something relatable to most people. I remember that I also had a phase where I was mostly passive and emotionally detached, not wanting to openly admit what I really like in front of others I wasn't close with, unless there was a general consensus. I was more about socializing with many people for clout. A crowd pleaser that lost himself in the process. Starting to pursue what I truly love was absolutely liberating. So yeah, I rock with Yatora and art club sensei. Promising start. |

VanishingKira said: I doubt that Seven Arcs hasn't had a 2 cour anime since 2006 & 2007. From a production standpoint, this show would get quite messy if it did end up being 2 cour, it already looks less than stellar and would get even worse over time as the production schedule get tighter. Hope for 24 episodes. |

| i'm so happy to see this adapted finally, definitely motivates me to read more of the manga and get up to date with it. also the opening slaps, i got goosebumps when i heard it. |
  x x x If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain. If you cut me with a knife, it's still the same. And I know her heart is beating, and I know that I am dead; yet the pain here that I feel, try and tell me it's not real, and it seems that I still have a tear to shed x x x |

| This is a story about art. And, looking at the cover, I had been kind of worried since it showed a glaring absence artistic touch. But, I still had hope cuz how would artists mess up a story about art? Well, I got my answer! The animation is bad. Even for a regular story, it's bad. It just goes from neutral pose to final pose, and back to neutral pose. No preparation poses, no exaggerations, no physics, nothing! It's empty! A complete absence of impact! And, not enough in-between frames. The composition and colour palette show no understanding of artistic principles. They don't create the slightest sense of wonder and inspiration. They don't tell any story by just existing. The manga does so much more without even using colours! SAO has a more inspiring art, and I don't even like its art! It feels like the director neither understood the story nor cared for it. They cut important details of Yatora's character. They didn't emphasize the important scenes. The dialogues didn't hold any weight. The sense of joy is completely removed. When an artist enjoys what they're doing, the result—even if it lacks skills—can still be entertaining. WTF is wrong with Saeki-sensei's voice and anatomy! Nothing fits! She's supposed to be someone who teaches Yatora to live freely and be himself. Yet, she sounds like a woman reading a script with no enthusiasm. Also, the irony of an art teacher being drawn anatomically incorrect isn't lost on me. Mori-senpai and Yuka-chan are also all wrong! Mori-senpai sounds like an old woman. And, Yuka-chan sounds like a shota. I wish Yuka-chan was voiced by a guy (or a trans woman). She may be biologically male, but she's still a girl. She doesn't need a high voice to be seen as a woman. If "Tenchi Souzou Design-bu" could do it with Kanamori, this anime could have done the same with Yuka-chan. The OP isn't good for this story. I wish they'd used YOASOBI's song Gunjo for ED, since that song is a much more accurate representation of the manga. But, according to what's written on MAL, they're going to be using a different song. I'm still hoping the song appears in the anime in some way. What was with that absence of music in important scenes? Anime has the ability to use music, so they should use it to add weight to scenes when needed! I'm sorry I have so many problems with this. I have studied both art and animation, and they are two of the most important things in my life. I have a hard time communicating with people, but art always helped me out. When I had found the manga, I can't express how happy I was to know I wasn't alone. Seeing an anime completely disrespecting art, and removing the beautiful soul of the manga, makes me very sad and disappointed. The story probably will never get a second chance to have a better adaptation. |
| I liked the setting of the first episode, the art in the anime as well as the art style of the anime were very appealing. The weird thing for me is that he switches his opinion about art from one second to the other. Yeah, I get he is really excited that he could express his feelings with one painting, but that shouldn't give his opinion a 180 turn. (I have not read the manga, so I don't know if it got rushed in the anime). But overall, the main character itself had some interesting and relatable character traits, as well as an interesting friend group. I am looking forward to how the anime evolves. |
My Candies:     |
| Damn, I was hoping the art and animation would be better for this. Mostly because it comes from a highly respected and popular manga but also because it is an art anime. What we got was acceptable, however, it is placing the entire burden on the writing, voice acting, direction, etc., to carry this anime to greatness. I hope it can do it, although I am not expecting it to since this first episode was just fine. |
| Pretty good first episode Can’t wait for the next |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| Great first episode, definitely interested by this anime and better than I expected. Can't wait for the next one |
| My first time watching a series based on painting or art, had really low expectations coz I'm not really into art or anything but it was still pretty enjoyable. A good start, looking forward to watching the next episodes. Animation could've been better tho |
| So far this seems like its going to be a good show. I have high hopes for it. I don't think I've ever seen an anime based around art, but I did do art in high school so it has peaked my interests. |
 |
| Wow! What an amazing first episode! The art style. The plot. The soundtrack. I also like how cool their art teacher is, especially her behavior towards her students. Everything about this anime is really fascinating. Quite similar to Arte but with a modern touch. This is going to be a masterpiece. Will definitely watch Yaguchi's journey until the end.  |

| oh its so exciting! Ive been waiting for this anime ever since i started reading the manga. im so glad the anime doesnt seem to be disapinting so far. they chose really good voice actors for the characters as well and i like getting to see the drawing scenes be animated. if the anime is as good as the anime it'll easily get in my top 10 of theyear |
 |
NO WAYYYYYYYYY YUKA-CHAN IS A BOY.  Yeah but apart from that, looks amazing. Probably, I'll check the manga out before episode 2. |
