| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- good start. i like this. the drawing was typical of p.a works... episode was 5/5 |
| not bad... |
 Well, not a bad start so far. I loved the OP song, was cute and the superior animation. I'm a sucker for P.A. animation's works so always seeing their new projects. Seems this one at least has my attention so far. Also, did anyone else catch the True Tears OP theme at the 5:00 min mark? Anyways, my hopes for this series are moderate right now. Probably won't be smash of the season but could also be entertaining and a fun watch for the weekend. ^_^ |

| Nice little introduction episode to introduce the characters. The transfer student, Wien, seems to try a little too hard getting used to Japanese culture, lol. The ED with the girls moving their heads side to side makes for a nice GIF. I'm guessing more characters will join them as the anime progresses. |
 |
| omg i liked it. it was better than most of the spring season stuff. excited to see next ep! gosh i'm so happy to see a show that's worth following. |

Mike_Tha_Hero said: A bit of an exaggeration, but alright. maybe, but i got a very good first impression from this show. and last season was quite boring as hell. tsuritama was the only show that i anticipated every week. nazo no kanojo x and natsuiro no kiseki were good but not to that extent. sankarea, and amnesia started out good but turned quite boring in the end. others were almost unwatchable. |
| It was really cute, I'm just kinda wondering how are they going to make this anime unique and different from K-on and other club themed anime. |
| It was just ok there was nothing special about it. Summer has always been my least favorite anime season. |
| good i like animation and osts Stark700 said: Still reminds me of Hanasaku Iroha for some reason. yeah true some charachters look alike  LOL |

| Σ(゜。゜ﾉ)ﾉ Woah, wait, the choir's singing eufonius's Reflectia? That was so unexpected. Like, really. I totally approve though. As for the rest of the episode, Wien is kinda fun, despite taking Japanese culture and customs way too seriously. And Sawa's probably the best character by far, followed by Wakana, who seems a bit too, uh, angsty. Unfortunately, Miyamoto is annoying as hell. Well, this is already better than both K-ON and Hanasaku Iroha anyway. Not sure why anyone would actually compare this to K-ON though. Oh and, almost forgot mentioning thanks to that sudden Reflectia coming out of nowhere, but AiRI doing the OP was a great idea. ED feels very generic though. And I'm not a big fan of having a bunch of seiyuu singing theme songs either. Sigh, I think I'm starting to get back into S&M SoL again ._. |

| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Splendid series. It remind of Hanasaku a lot due to Minchy look alike in some character designs such as hair and facial along with eye expressions. This is truly a slice of life to enjoy while enjoying the life of summer itself. Here are my impressions. Of the OP, I will make a list to make it easier of the elements I like of it.
About the beginning, I liked a lot the start with Sakai in the spoiler About Sawa Okita, her horse riding in the spoiler Meanwhile, a shot of Konatsu in the spoiler Back at Konatsu Miyamoto, now it’s full blown time of learning of Konatsu. MY #1. Love her design and this episode decided it. They sure show her love for music. It’s easy to see in the spoiler Back at school, looks like Sakai here from how she looks around she seems defiant of something. However I did like of her interaction with Sawa in the spoiler  Pregnant teachers are not something that is seen often yet in a slice of life, IMO that is thee best element to add. Sakai further does not feel aright at all here. Seems to be on to something in thinking about it. Hilarious however was Wien in the spoiler So in thee end we have a malfunction of Wien in the spoiler The interactions of Sakai and the pregnant teacher, was great in the spoiler So here goes why I think the teacher of the singing practice is A BITCH! First of all from the spoiler  OH RAGE THERE! My Konatsu should never be like that. As a result I applaud her in the spoiler Sawa was nice to meet with the pregnant teacher, as such they exchange phone numbers in the spoiler Hilarious was, the part of Tanaka/Wien in the spoiler Poor Konatsu! She still feels frustrated. However Sawa was nice enough to lend her a bow in the spoiler I for one am glad that, that Konatsu decided to talk to the pregnant teacher in the spoiler Meantime Wien/Tanaka, interactions in the spoiler Lovely part of Sawa/Konatsu, comes around in the spoiler Back home in each of their own, Sawa on side in the spoiler Konatsu has a perverted face in the following, http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2024/d73959dc.jpg Based on the spoiler Meanwhile, nice to see Wien writing out here and most of all that he does have a knack for power rangers. While Sawa looks so adorable here with her face. Got to admit though that Konatsu was the best with dancing and earphones in the spoiler In thee end of the episode, looks to me like some shitty misunderstanding happens in the spoiler About the ED, once again a list will point out what I liked of it.
About the preview, well it’s nice to know that I shall see more Wien/Tanaka development but looks like Konatsu here is even more depressed over he singing. While it’s nice to see that Sakai practice her archery skills. What I am more interested is the girl on the bike in the spoiler Further on WTF is up with Sawa/Konatsu in the spoiler |

| wow. In the choir they are singing True Tears Opening song "Reflectia" \o/ |

Kanade-chan said: wow. In the choir they are singing True Tears Opening song "Reflectia" o/ Yeah, I am just watching it right now, paused the anime and dropped straight back on the forums to mention. You one upped me there :D Edit: And now this is a good show. Could be one of the better shows this season and I am watching it week in week out for sure. No wonder why we have Hayami Saori, Seto Asami and Takagaki Ayahi in it! I am sure I will be loving the songs! |

| Yeah so this was great. Looking forward to the summer anime season. |
| A really nice episode. Animation is amazing, voice actors are really good, all five main characters are interesting, especially Wien, Wakana and Konatsu, and the story seems to be interesting, too. The songs, including OP and ED, are also great. 5/5 |

| Well can't really say anything yet |
 |
| I didn't even realize they were singing the True Tears opening in the choir scene. Probably cause it's been forever since i've seen that anime. Anyways, really good first episode with very cute and amazing animation as expected from PA Works and the characters are very interesting. |
 |
| Cool episode. Looking forward to next week :) |
 |
| So another music anime. The characters looks promising, I'm going to watch it. |
 |
| Yes! I think I'm going to really enjoy this one! I'm loving the transfer student already. :D |
| I normally try not to be biased towards things but i pretty much like everything that comes out of P.A works and i'm glad i'll be getting my Hanasaku fill for the summer!,as for the show it seems to have some Decent characters and it already started of with a music reference to true tears so who knows it might end up being a pretty good music slice of life. ill be watching. |
 |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOO! She said Hydrangea! D: thats Reas favorite food! I want season 2 already! ! ! D: Anyway good start to the series, can't wait for next episode. |

| I didn't had any expectations at all, but the first episode hooked me up. Neither I knew that this was going to be a music show - I love music, anyway, so one more reason to like it. The characters are decent & mostly Sakai. I believe I am going to enjoy this... |
| Characters are interesting, and i like most of the voice actresses here, so probably gonna enjoy this :) |
 |
| Most anticipated anime from this season by me is HERE! and i LOVED first episode <3. God, there is so much to talk about that it would take me hours of writing ;_; so i will try to get it short and fast. First thing that cought my eye was of course beatifiul drawings, nice views and backgrounds, just like HanaSaku <3.I was really looking forward to every next second of this episode, to see some good animation and drawings. OMG They are singing Reflectia! xD wow, i was like ''where did i hear this song be- TRUE TEARS'', which was reaaally unexpected o_O, but well. If i ever will have a chance to introduce myself in calssroom, i will do it like Wien guy did lol. My favourite character by now are Miyamoto and Sawa.They seem so cute and interesting. I WANT MOAAR.I wonder how will things go with new choir club :D 5/5 First impression 9/10 @EDIT WHY ONLY 13 EPISODES RAGE MODE. |
 |
| Nice OP/ED, great seiyu cast, good loking art style. First episode was promising, some of the girls also looked like they might have potential. Exactly what I needed after Natsuiro Kiseki just ended a few days ago. Probably gonna continue watching solely for her  |
| I liked the singing at the end by Konatsu. Should be a pretty good anime. |
| 5/5. I am so on board with this anime that I'm practically in fanboy mode already. Miyamoto is definitely going to be a contender for female character of the season for me, love her and I hate that stupid teacher that basically Simon Cowell-ed her. Girl can sing, you just can't see it. Love all the girls, moe levels are definitely off the charts, and it was just really fun to watch, honestly. Reminded me of AKB0048 what with the "I want to sing no matter what" kinda deal. Huge plus right there. Can't wait for more. |

| I love how they were singing the True Tears OP. I'd know that soundtrack anywhere, haha. |

P.A Works should be the only ones allowed to make cute girls doing cute things. |

| This anime has a great opening and ending song to it, I also love the characters in the show also the girls are very well designed and coming from p.a. works what can you expect? nothing but a solid show to watch which is good in my case. |
 |
| not bad though we don't really know anything yet so I'm reluctant to gather any conclusions |

| Cool. Konatsu so cute :D Wien tries too hard XD |
| slice of life at its finest, pretty decent ep. |
 |
| Well I had no idea what to expect, but I really enjoyed this. Got a good feeling this will be one on the must watch every week radar. |
| Solid first ep. Love the art style, characters, and I laughed a few times. Looks like this will be a great SOL series. |
 |
| ahh this anime is so cute! good start so far. for some reason i think it will become like k-on and there will end up being a band formed or something. anyways, i loved her singing at the end. the seiyuu of chihaya from chihayafuru has such a cute voice! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Art style is so god damn reminiscent of Another. If only that was a good thing... As to the show, it was a good pilot. |
 |
| Great start. I loved the contrasting characters and I can see that there will be some interesting things happening between them. It's good to have a true slice of life anime once again. Konatsu is easily my favourite of the main characters. Konatsu pouting at the end and her trying to do archery was cute to watch. She also has so much energy and is such an airhead. Just me or she looks so much smaller and younger than everyone else? Bonus points for the opening song from True Tears. I can almost see a guaranteed watch to the end for this one. Great one to start the summer season off. |

That last scene was just.... awkward in a way. anyway, awesome P.A.Works art is awesome.. backgrounds are as ever detailed.. this time, they managed to pull out atypical characters for their main cast.. and with the new dynamic of combined boys & girls group for the main characters instead of the usual all girls group (a lot of these seem to be popping out since AnoHana's commercial success), this can work out for P.A.Works and the director and series composer for his first main project for a tv series.. it's really nice when P.A.Works are just working in realistic settings and an original anime project of their own.. i could end up getting attached not only with the characters but with the setting as well, much like what they did with True Tears and Hanasaku Iroha.. again, now that i have watched all of their works, i'm a bit wary on expecting too high for this show.. but i'm pretty sure that i would enjoy it.. |
