| Huh, I didn't expect to actually enjoy this. I hope it keeps it up. Also, I hope she wears ponytails again. She looks stupid with her hair loose. |
| Kyoani finds a way |
| Poor Sapphire-chan. Think about all the kids with weird names that have to endure stuff like that x) Yaiy another kyoani show! And this is so far waaay better then amagi shit park! |
| The red string of fate in the ED and the "引力" between Reina and Kumiko on the website. *puts my yuri goggles on* Btw, the first episode was good. I really liked the OP and the ED. |

| This show looks very pretty and the girls are really cute. Looking forward to see where they take this, although i can´t see this becoming as much of a drama as Shigatsu wa kimi no uso was. I hope this isn´t just cute girls doing cute stuff though. |
| Unexpectedly good. Now, don't let me down KyoAni~ |
I am quite surprised that it has male characters... I really liked it!^^ I am not watching it as if I am watching a new K-ON!, but instead, a new anime, actually... but comparisions with K-ON! cannot be avoided.. =P |
| http://i.imgur.com/tZVAceh.jpg My favourite character of the show and i'm getting K-ON vibes which is a very good thing. |
 |
it seems kyoani studio likes can can, that sound played in this episode |
| Sapphire, what a name. Her parents must of played too much Pokémon. |
 |
| omg that flashback of her trying to learn how to blow properly was just too cute... really interested in this! |
| Loved the art, but the chromatic aberration is kinda of tiring after a while, but dunno maybe thats just me. So far im not even close to hooked, but hey, its just episode 1. Will be waiting for episode 2. |
| Already showing a lot of potential in episode one like I knew it would be. It's much better than K-ON imo. The comparisons didn't really make much sense to begin with. ReaperCreeper said: Sapphire, what a name. Her parents must of played too much Pokémon. The VA's name is even more hilarious. |

|
| So at first I was really pissed that they were explaining all these simple music terminologies...... .......but then they added "feels" to the second half of the episode and it hit me quite hard. Sasuga KyoAni. I have a feeling I will really like this show. |
| I hope this anime doesn't get too k-on!ish |
 |
| i wanted it to be Jazz-centered, fuck this gay world |
 |
| I'm really looking forward to this one. Asuka was funny, Sapphire is cute, and the teacher with the glasses seems really cool. I like Kumiko's personality a lot actually; it's a nice change of pace. |

| As long as it's KyoAni I'm all over it. My body's always ready fo dat moe. |
| As expected from Kyoani The animation is good and always beautiful Never fail to make me amazed |
| I do like how they're trying to put more of your usual human subtleties in this show and not just moe stuff. I appreciate that. This kinda makes me miss playing the clarinet. My brother is way more of a bando than I (understatement), so he might appreciate this a little more. I don't dislike the show or anything though. Characters aren't bad either. |
| It was not bad. I'm expecting future episode :) |
| Nice start, Reina and Asuka look very alike... |
 |
| I like the start, having guys here brings in a more natural feel to it unlike K-ON :) I like Kumiko with her hair down, seriously look so much better :D |
 |
| Wow the animation of the playing especially at the end was superb. And the character design and script really cute. The sound bites of real instruments playing really made a big contrasts between her middle school performance and the high school band. The girls are all really cute and there's a lot of hilarious parts. Like the part when that girl gave her a fake hand with the little welcome sign...<3 Being a a former band member makes this show bring up a lot of memories. =) Episode 1 was really good. I hope the quality stays this good throughout the series. |
| How early is nothing so compelling, indeed we must resist not to yawn at certain times of the narrative, in others there is a minimum of comedy, but I was interested to see how the plot could be more that the atmosphere that reigned during the story. Very little in the end, but we are only at the beginning and no one knows even how tough this TV series. After all reading the synopsis sounds very interesting. As for the quality of the designs and animations; the level is decent, but not great as I imagined from KyoAni. What a shame! Overall it is sufficient, we wait and see what comes out. |
 |
| Hmmm...well that wasn't bad. I was on the fence about even watching this series, but so far the characters all seem nice enough and it's rather pretty to look at. Let's just see how the drama is handled though... |
| Looks like I'm getting old for not enjoying this kind of anime anymore. Hope it just 1-cour as otherwise I doubt I have the patience to finish stuff like this. Nice OP though. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Good start. I'd been putting this off for some reason, but, having now watched it, I really can't think why. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I really like the character designs, it has the KyoAni feeling to it while also feeling fresh. Very vivid and colorful. Kumiko look a little bit like Ui from K-On. Her mellow personality is interesting, she reminds me a bit of how I dealt with clubs when I first joined high school. Asuka is my favorite character so far, her magic trick was a hoot and she seems like she'll be lots of fun. The megane conductor/teacher has me intrigued as well. And yes there are Trombone players! I played it from 5th grade to my first year of college. This show actually makes me want to think about picking it up again. |
 |
| The visuals are top notch, I like the characters. Pacing is too slow right now, it took an entire episode for Kumiko to decide to join the band, even though we all knew she would join. |
| I'm not too crazy about KyoAni stuff normally, but I like the musical angle and have been told this is actually pretty good so I'll take a chance. Ok first episode. The visuals and art are gorgeous. |

| Their eyes. THEY ARE SO SPARKLY. I played trumpet in high school, so this is looking like a good watch! |
| Asuka's personality is sweet :3 Looks like a new K-on! |
 |
| I'm surprised... I was only expecting this show to be another cheerful girls doing cute things but it turns out to be pretty melancholic. The OP & ED are really mediocre for me (and gave me the wrong impression about the show b4 I watched it XD) but the music and the camera during the show set up the right feel, as expected from KyoAni. I love how they start up with this melancholic atmospheres. Haha I can relate to Kumiko's problems with Reina and her doubting view toward the club. |

| I loved all of it The characters and backgrounds all so familiar from Kyoani Also the classic pieces that's coming from the bands |
| Interesting start so far! Really love their introduction on the concept of band and music. KyoAni does it again with it's stunning animation! |
 |
| “You wanna join the band?” “Nah” “You wanna join the band?” “Nah” *Next day* “You wanna join the band?” “Kay!” That was this epsiode, a pretty standard introduction that I'd expect from "a girl goes to a club" premise. About as interesting so far as KyoAni's other banal titles, but this seems to have a decent following amongst folks I trust so maybe it'll get more interesting? At least hey aren't inexplicably good with their instruments like K-On! girls |

| Quite lovely start, I always love music type anime so I've got high hopes for this! Let's see what this anime will offer us! |
 |
| I usually avoid heavy female cast series since they are really boring to watch, but somehow this managed to keep my interest up. |
| another fucking musical anime with retarded ass pubescent girls doing stupid shit? wake the fuck up japan fucking garbage.. ain't even mad tho.. just sayin' |
 |
| Oh my middle/highschool memories are flowing back to me |
