The guy just likes to annoyingly criticize things cause he's got nothing better to do. |

| sensei was harsh but he was right at least and the drama started about time i guess |
 |
| This show is turning out so much better than I expected, hopefully it keeps up that way. |
 |
| Asuka is easily the best character so far, and has a way better personality than any of the four leads. I'm excited to see how the main cast develop though, stuff like how each of their attitude (mainly Kumiko and possibly Reina) towards music changes, Kumiko and Reina's relationship, etc. A decent series so far; nothing really annoys me but nothing completely impresses me either. Also, when Sapphire named her contrabass George-kun, this was the first thing I thought of. |
| Another cute episode, naturally! Can't really fault the series so far. Teacher was harsh without being cruel about it, and never even got angry. He's pushing them to be their best, even if they can't see it yet. Need more Midori/Sapphire! |
| I actually really like this episode. I'm in a band too so I can totally relate. Love the salt the teacher gave lol. It did sound awful. |

It is behind why Reina Kousaka would purposely choose to go to a high school that did not have a decent concert band when her dream was to go to the nationals. Currently, without that explained or provided a proper reason, her frustration seems to be pointless drama as in reality she could only blame herself. |

Panaru said: ITT: People don't understand that the "Shinsekai Yori" in this episode isn't referring to the goddamn anime. Fucking lol. They even tell you directly where it's from. It's obvious, but it was really nice to hear those words, I mean 'Shinsekai yori' lol it's in my favs so I obviously thought about it too. I really liked her playing. Sensei being harsh, so adorable. |
| Ehhh.. I'm kind of disappointed... This anime is pretty boring so far. The last episode was really dragging until like the last 5 min of the episode. Hopefully next week will be better. I'm still holding out on dropping this series because I usually love shows by KyoAni, but I definitely might drop this later in the season if it continues to drag. |
| Great, great episode. I don't find it boring at all tbh. The dysfunction of the ensemble reminded me of my high school concert band and how... unmotivated everyone was. And this episode captured that feeling perfectly. |

Hopefully there will be a legitimate explaination why Reina enrolled into Kitauji High School, but untill then your assumption will be into consideration. |

| Wow that teacher is great! He bluntly tells them the band stinks in a nice way lol. And Kousaka venting her frustration through Dvorak's New World. Amazing. |
| I wish they didn't make it so obvious how much the band sucked, and instead made it so only musicians would understand that they suck. But whatever, I liked the episode regardless. I want to see Sapphire play already got damn it. |
 |
| I like the Sensei. He's like "you all suck." He didn't even use an angry tone, he just said it calmly. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| it turns out that i like this anime after all..... |
 |
| Ah so troubles begin and frustrations build as different band members have different levels of enthusiasm. The instructor came across as a bit harsh if not exactly wrong. Kumiko's sister on the other hand just seemed harsh. Well...let's see where it might go from here... |
| A great episode. I really like Asuka! Tho I'm sure the other girls will get proper development soon enough. Though the ''blow'' dialogues are just lel. Finally some music! Good stuff. |
 |
| i wonder what Kumiko will do now? she looks undecided from the looks of it. I really want to see her and Ssppire-chan play. |
| This episode is still not too much play music, even internal conflicts raised into a story. With the slow story, I think it takes a few episodes to get into real music. |

| I think I'm only one here who desperately want to punch all the characters in this anime. It's easily not a bad show so far but the character's faces really piss me off. And no that's not because of moe, I just hate it with no solid reason. Still interested with the main conflict of the club though. |

Kitoge said: But he can't be that good. Many here are talking about the memories of the time they were in band. Well I don't have those memories. In the US band (concert/marching/symphonic) were a class. We got a grade. The band director actually taught us. Sight read, worked sections, worked ensembles, he even did warmups and tuning.Wow that teacher is great! He bluntly tells them the band stinks in a nice way lol. And Kousaka venting her frustration through Dvorak's New World. Amazing. He just didn't say "practice until your good enough to play well in an ensemble then get me". I'm assuming this is how it's done in many places in the world. This is just making a good story of how Japan does their music clubs. I can't really relate to this procedure. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |

| He's not exactly making them better by walking away. He should be there from tuning to dismissal working with the band either in a sectional or ensemble. He comes across as lazy and want to kids to teach themselves. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| From a student's perspective the teacher seems to be not helpful at all and he comes out as kind of annoying... but I do agree with the teacher's perspective as the students can't collaborate properly. Can't wait to see if they will all do something, or our main 4 characters. |

The show looks very good so far, and I liked the characters a lot including the sensei. Jesus Christ, it's fucking Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, not overrated anime reference. |
 |
| It's nice that everything is starting to develop |
| I used to think that Kousaka and Kumiko would be friends again, but seems that they still not ready for that...Well, must be hard be a member of this band, seems that most members don't care about it. |

| Quite the realistic show. Reminds me of many of the dimensions surrounding orchestra back in highschool. They've done a good job of capturing the atmosphere, which I kind of like. Siblings complain about it when you practice, there are some senior members who have no drive and just lead a poor example for newer members, and then there are those that are extremely serious and dedicated. They can't help but feel frustrated by the others who bring the rest down. Teachers can be pretty harsh in music, but in many cases it is because they can see through the laziness and lack of commitment and drive. Of course, it isn't just some horrendous activity that brings dismay to everyone, I loved orchestra and the pay off you got when everyone put in an honest effort, regrouped, and pulled through with an excellent performance. I can't wait for those moments in this show, because thus far they have captured everything else well enough. That said, I don't remember anyone screaming at the top of their lungs on a hillside... maybe I just wasn't a part of the hill-screamer group. |
| Interesting storyline, just a bit slow so far. I like the 3 main characters that Kumiko, Hazuki and Sapphire. Asuka is the best! (Y) |

| Oh shit, drama. |
 |
| Splendid this third episode! I hope will remain at these levels the TV series and can possibly improve even more. Narration earnest but not boring, good mix of funny parts with other very technical and related to real problems, I left a good impression. Everything then is crowned with a really good quality in drawings and animations. Also very beautiful colors and scenes. Brava KyoAni, so go! |
 |
| Not sure how anyone could see this as melodramatic. I think it's spot-on and very realistic in terms of drama. Lots of politics involved. Heck it applies to anything that involves a large group of people trying to accomplish a task - there will always be those that slack off and those that are motivated. I've never been in a band before, but if you've been in raid groups in MMOs that is a perfect example. If you've ever been in a raid guild that tried to AT LEAST be top 100 in WoW, the politics can be insane. The thought of a band where you have to actually face those politics in person? cringe |

| Are you Rushing??? or Dragging??? |
| This episode shows and proves that passionate/enthusiastic ones cannot blend in as one with the ones that are slacking-off/happy go lucky. |
