| Glad to see this isn't like K-On, not like that would bother me but this is nice ^^ |
 |
| I purely enjoyed this to the fullest. The aura is light with a hint of comedy, just my cup of tea. (Especially with the exams coming up) The art is just 11/10, IT'S BEAUTIFUL! And for some reason I loved the OP & ED. About the characters.... I think I honestly just turned bi, because I am totally in love with Kumiko and especially Sapphire now.. No kidding  Heck, even the boys are HNNNNNNNNNNNGGG! This is REALLY my cup of extra premium coffee  |
| I liked the animation. The art is okay, not my personal taste. The episode was okay. Kinda got boring. I don't like the MC and Sapphire was kind of annoying. Maybe they'll grow on me. I do like the music so I'll give it two more episodes before I decide to continue watching it or not. |
 |
| I liked it. It's a bit slow, but that's okay. It's beautifully animated, and the production is top notch from KyoAni. I'm looking forward to see more. |

| I like it, it seems like it will actually be interesting and focusing a lot more on the actual music part unlike K-On!'s "we goof off every day and only practice once or twice ever but somehow we still play great at concerts". At least, I hope it doesn't go that way. |
 |
| The new project from KyoAni. Yep! Studio which has no doubt the quality. This anime take the unique story that does not exist in this genre. Here there is no piano or violin. Yes, because the classical orchestra has been taken by Nodame Cantabile. Music Idol (with sing and song) has been controlled by Love Live !. Music bands are the property of K-ON. Now is the era marching band. That's what KyoAni try to lift up. Much like K-ON, 3 first-year student at a high school meet and interested in music. Of course there is one more person. The characters are unsightly. I see them like Inaba Himeko (Kokoro Connect), Hirasawa UI (K-ON), Matsumae Ohana (Hanasaku Iroha). Btw, the opening clip is really nice. With the storyline of music, as well as the curiosity that deliberately raised in the first episode, I thought this anime will carve his own name. |

| In the first few seconds, Kumiko really looks like Ui have grown up especially with that ponytail. It was an okay start. Can't wait to see how the four of them joining will change the band. Also include the music teacher (Sakurai). It feels like the band doesn't have a proper advisor yet. |

| The art and animation in this episode.... wow Interesting first episode, I'll keep watching this one. Please don't screw it up, KyoAni, please..... The OP and ED are quite good as well. The OP somehow indicated that there's going to be a large cast in this series (but I think most of them are going to be supporting characters though?), I just hope I can remember half of them. AaaaaaKun said: Orangevision said: I hope I'm not the only one who was totally expecting J.K Simmons burst through the door when they were tuning to b-flat. With cursing, insulting and occasionally chair-flying? AotY. Hahaha, this!! |
| That art and animation though...!! Really looking forward to seeing the rest of this one. I played Alto Sax in concert band for 6 years so it brings back some memories and I can related to some things here and there. |
 |
| it was an ok first episode at best but nice animation though |
 |
| Main character is refreshing, and thank the lord that she isn't a cardboard cut out of the K-On characters. Love the realism, the bluntness, even the cynical moments. Reminds me of the mc from humanity has declined, and she was great. Doubt this mc will be as good, but definitely a rarity in terms of character types these days. I think I'll give it a few more episodes, we'll see where it goes. |
| Not a bad start, hopefully they can keep it up, because this has a lot of potential plotwise. I don't see why some people dislike the main character, all she's been so far is pretty realistic, same with the other characters thus far. I'm a music ed major and I play euphonium, so maybe I just relate to the MC really well (a lot of people who play the same instrument tend to relate to each other well). Both the OP and ED were pretty meh, but I prefer the ED (jeez, what's with you guys?). Looking forward to more! |

| I am only here for Asuka. |
| Nothing special, but also nothing too bad here.I'll keep watching for fun and KyoAni eyegasm. Also, really liking ED. |
 |
| lol I used to play euphonium |
 |
| I getting good vibes from this Anime. Definitely reminds me of K-On! Will definitely watch this. |
 |
| this is looking good i'll probably enjoy this more than k-on |
Red_Tuesday said: frequency15k said: they were talking about how sapphires were green (which they can be) and then they said opal which is another green stone, and midori means green in japanese. so i guess its something like that?... Just would make more sense to use the only gemstones that are known primarily for being green. Emerald and Jade. (transparent and opaque) Instead they used Sapphire and Opal. (transparent and opaque) Maybe that's the joke? It's some weird random humor thing? Since sapphires and opals are primarily known for being blue and multicolored, respectively. Her name is Sapphire because she has those type of parents that like picking obscure kanji readings, which is why she is embarised about it. It's like being called moonbeam or some other wierd name in english. Pretty much her parents liked the name Sapphire and chose some random kanji that would fit. |
 |
| at the moment seems the typical KyoAni moe show. I like it :D |
 |
| Bringing back the nightmares when I used to play clarinet. Anyway, enjoyed this quite a bit. Nearest thing it reminds me of is PA Works' Tari Tari. |
 |
| Dang yo, Kyoto Animation's visuals never disappoint. Their character designs are always very appealing, but maybe that's just my preferences. #letmetouchyourtubakun |

| Good, had a bit of expectations for this and it was very enjoyable. Though, no more ponytail? Why? Such disappointment... |
| Good looking. Good sounding. Intriguing character intros. It doesn't feel like K-On! Ill watch. |
| I say "I'm speechless" to tell you I want to say something though am not sure how... |
Vindstot said: Kumiko is very indecisive, and that's not a very good sign for a MC. She decides not to join the band on whim while thinking about Kousaka, but ended up joining anyways after looking at her friends' hopeful faces. Hazuki and Midori are pretty nice going and more likable than Kumiko. Not sure how to feel about Kousaka yet. She might become the source of all kinds of drama. Shuichi thought he could get all chummy with Kumiko on the premise that he's her osananajimi. Quite funny how Kumiko didn't pay him much attention. Comparatively, that megane guy seems more interesting. I think he's a "sensei"-type character, since he was driving an (old model) car. Decent start. I like the ED more than the OP. Has bits of Chuunibyou vibes. Hopefully, this'll bring us more music and less melodrama, unlike a certain series.. Midway card confirms harem themed show! :O  None of those characters appear in the show though. Show's surprisingly just... OK. I liked how Hyouka started off more.... Hmmm... maybe I have a natural negative bias to a predominant female cast (cause I liked Hyouka's protagonist)? Hmmm... nah, I liked K-On and Sora No Wo To as much as Hyouka. Something about this show doesn't click with me. |
| I already like this lol |
| New series of KyoAni! I like all the 4 MC VA line-up because it's getting boring hearing those common professional seiyuus. (sick and tired of hearing usual seiyuu) So....Kumiko is already a high standard with these kind of symphonic bands because she already knows how awful the current club is. Let's see how this goes. |

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Cute first episode. |
My Candies:     |
| That was an interesting first episode. I was never much of a band person, but this actually had me really interested. The animation isn't too shabby either. Seems like a nice one. Asuka is amazing! |
| I like it! Loving the KyoAni eyes! The main girl looks and sounds pretty, and is a bit mysterious at the moment. |
| Don't know it was a bit slow even for Kyoani, so i am wondering how the rest of the anime will turn out. The characters need some work but it's only the first episode so it's fine for the time being a guess. |
| Pretty good and fun first episode. This looks like it might fill my K-On void but this time with more focus on music. I especially liked the realistic dialogue and interactions. And Kumiko is like a perpetually blushing Ui with the personality of Katou Megumi. |
| Not bad. Much better than a thought it would be. Such amazing visuals too. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| Eye Candy..... |
 |
| Peer pressure (way to go on making that look like a good thing!), hair that looks like it's been folded, a super-weird magician and her antisocial I-am-awesomeness twin-like counterpart (with purple eyes, nog al). Definitely best anime of the season so far. Can't stop watching. |
| Surprised I liked the episode. Should like it if it says drama/music focus and stays away from the boring slice of life style in K-On/ Tari Tari. On my dark horse list for the spring. |

| Really love the visual and the hair, the background quality is expected of KyoAni also marks the return of their visual filters and depth of field. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Oh man, Sapphire is so cute, and Asuka too. Kumiko is kinda weak though...I just hope the teacher shows up more, I think I'm gonna really like him. Anyway, really nice visuals, alright story and cute characters. Can't tell if this is going to be more drama or more slice-of-life. |

Definitely best anime of the season so far. Can't stop watching. Yeah, this one was really good. I expected the rating to be like a 8.30 before I went on to add it to my list. Great stuff. |
 |
| I don't know. I look at Kumiko and see Makoto Kino aka Sailor Jupiter. Same hair color, same facial structure. She looks physically nothing like Yui (well maybe for the hair pulled back) from K-ON!. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| This looks good. I hope it will be |
| I really enjoyed this one. It isn't just my normal yuri goggles, right? The main character is crushing on her friend from middle school and that is why she was so upset after she disappointed her by suggesting that they never really had a chance at nationals.... (I think the red-string-of-fate in the ED heavily suggests that...) |
Now blogging at TheZenOf Mysterious Girlfriend X Anime Fan Club - It's about more than drool! Tari Tari Fan Club - Hyouka Fan Club - Chitanda Eru Fans Club~ |
| this is...actually not that bad |
| The only good thing about this episode was the art, didn't enjoy it that much. I found it VERY slow, and this comes from someone who enjoys calm shows and a big fan of Kyoani. Hope it doesn't stay like this |
 |
| Asuka's also my GF.... so back off, hands, off. pccc |
