| As person who practices Olympic archery this seems like a interesting show. I hope I can learn a little more of Kyodou. |
| A really good start ! Top animation, interesting story that will slowly be developped, appealing characters (I already like the tall happy one)... I have a good feeling about Tsurune. I'm looking forward the next episode. I just hope some characters won't be too cliché. |
| Whoo! Finally. I've been waiting for this for so long. I really liked the direction when Naramiya tried doing archery again. It really gets across his anxiety and the elegance of archery as he follows through the procedure in the first shot, followed by his unraveling after he misses. |

| KyoAni sports show? Bet. Maybe I'll get around to Free eventually |

| Hmm quite the interesting premise having Kyudo as the main theme. Pretty catchy OP as well. Club recruitment sure looks like fun. Looks like the Kyudo club has quite the lineup of new recruits joining its ranks this year. Overall a strong first episode that introduced quite an interesting cast of characters and the unique elements that make up Kyudo. Visually the episode was also really impressive. |

| The music definitely has my attention, it's extremely beautiful already in my opinion. The leaf symbolism is very neat. I'm not sure how the story will play out, but I honestly don't see high potentional for this series, considering how simple it seems so far. But hey, that isn't always a bad thing, plus this is only the first episode. |
TodAboT said: Shadow-Chan said: I'm sure Minato was attracted to the noise knowing it's a bow string noise. He also flinched to a similar noise when talking to Ryohei near his bike. He loves that sound and possibly grew more sensitive to it because of his target panic. Still doesn't make sense when you're in a pretty bad mood for one thing and then getting closer to the same thing. So why was he so eager to get there? Because plot. Yes he's in bad mood but doesn't mean he hate Kyudo. He might be hesitant to get involved with Kyudo as shown when he refused the invitation to join the club, but just watching is a different thing. It doesn't really need much courage to just watch someone from afar. Plus just like the other person told you, the noise might what motivate him to look as well. Also, imagine someone who is for example a football player who has resigned from playing football after a certain accident. One day when he was having a bad day, he encountered a group of teenagers play an interesting football match. Does it really need a good mood to be able to watch them playing? Not really. He might even watch to look for some comfort |
| Only tried this cause it was KyoAni. The visuals seem lower quality than I expected from a 1st episode of a KyoAni show. I do some archery (bow hunting) but I can't say I'm a fan of it and kyudo isn't particularly fun to watch, so unless something story wise catches my attention, a potential drop. |

One day when he was having a bad day, he encountered a group of teenagers play an interesting football match. Does it really need a good mood to be able to watch them playing? Not really. He might even watch to look for some comfort He literally tried his best to avoid it; he was hesitant to even see it. The first time he went he didn't know it was Kyudo, and the second time he got forced/pressured by his friend and then by everybody around him. I doubt a person trying his best to avoid a thing goes out of his way to see the thing. You have a point, yes he has fear toward Kyudo, but like I said, getting involved is different from simply watching. Also, I think the Tsurune (the noise) has a special meaning to him. It's what makes him took interest in Kyudo after all. So, when he heard this Tsurune sound from the hill, his inner consciousness urged him go to the source of that sound. He knows that It's not like by just going there he would be forced to take part in Kyudo as that would need him to face his fear. He just need to watch and hear someone who was practicing his Kyudo. Different from the time when his friend pressured him to go to the club introduction. He knows that by agreeing to his friend's invitation there is a possibility that he will be dragged into doing Kyudo that would require him to face his fear. Nonetheless he still came and the fear he had about being dragged into doing some Kyudo came true. Also, Seiya who was in the same Kyudo club in middle school was there too. Maybe he's still feel guilty or embarrassed by his failure at the competition. He avoided his fear of failing at Kyudo's competition, not really Kyudo as a sport itself. He even still brings his Kyudo's gloves every day, therefore it shows that although he has fear toward Kyudo, it doesn't mean that he want to avoid Kyudo in totality. I might be wrong, but at least that's what I understand so far. |

| It is probably too early, but it is already beginning to seem to me that here we will get the next Hanebado in terms of drama. At the same time, I am rather surprised that this anime did not have as many shoujo vibes as in Free. |
 |
| Solid episode for me. Yes it might be generic, but not necessarily bad in any way at least for me. I expected some youthful slice of life drama with Kyudo as the center and enjoyable character interactions and I got those. As usual, the art and animation are superb, but a bit below the usual KyoAni's standard, probably because they decided to use a more grounded art style. I found the soundtrack surprisingly good and I got some shivers from it. Really enjoyed it. |
| A pretty slow start, but a good one. And the best news is I love archery, yay. |
| It's generic, but it's not so bad. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| So this time, KyoAni's doing Gay Archery!? But I have to say, KyoAni's animation is really flawless & realistic! thumbs-up for that! well, they're always good at that department. 4/5. |
 |
| An anime archery made by KyoAni.As expected, KyoAni never fails to impressed me with the visuals, Cute bois. Sasuga KyoAni. The OP is good as well. Pretty much good introduction to premise and characters. This is indeed something to look forward. |
 |
| I really like the character design of this show :P I like their design better than Free's casts. Kyoto Anime finally back to its root. |
| Ugh, I loved it. I expected to like it and I really did. I'm really curious about where Masaki and Minato's relationship is going to go. They seem to be the rivals like Rin and Haru but they don't know each other beforehand so that interests me. I wonder how they will inspire and push each other. Meanwhile, Seiya is the "Makoto" in this situation but he's one of the more talented ones too. I didn't expect Minato to have a sad backstory man... I'm looking forward to more. Also, the ED was gorgeous! |
| That was pretty disappointing. A real snorefest if I ever saw one. Out of all the currently airing Anime I'm watching right now, this appears to be the most mediocre of them all. Hopefully, things will improve in the next episode. |

| "We're Kyo Freaking Ani, we deliver awesome animation, we don't need a plot." |
 |
| If he hates himself over missing a target from that far away, then he would definitely have a heart attack if he saw me missing from 30 ft out |
| The Hyouka follow-up we were waiting for. What a beautiful experience this is, in only one episode almost everything has been established and every single shot is telling something about the characters, the conflict or creating an atmosphere. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, |
| A new anime with a punctual thematic. The anime title became from the noise of the arc, interesting idea! The first episode was positive and we could watch the principal characters and a few their personalities. |
| What's up with Kyo Ani and always trying to force peeps to join stuff that they've continually told others they don't want to do? Like holy crap, leave people alone. Do like Golden Sun and when they say like, "Will you go on this quest?" and you say 'No' then friggen you leave and the game ends. That's it and that's all. Dang stop heckling these poor characters. Rude af. He's trying to provide for his family like dang, let the boy BE. Anyway, it's some beautiful stuff and I picked it up because I've always been really interested in Archery-- only having done it like once in my life. Still, something about this anime makes it seem like it's going to be some of the same old same old. Like straight up, I'm getting Hanebado flashbacks, but unlike Hanebado where the first episode was more of Nagisa's problem with not being the best teammate along with having her own limitations, Tsurune kinda goes right into it and I'm like, "Aggggh". I honestly want to pretend I never watched it, but it's so pretty that I can't help but want to keep going. I've done this to myself. Honestly, I'm more interested in the veteran females of the club. They look bad ass. As for the rest of the cast... meh. Show me some more about them and I might bite. |
| These leaves effects are ugly and feel out of place. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| The start was ok. It seems that the plot is generic but I think the drama will be better than Violet Everboring. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| KyoAni has been my favorite studio since I started watching anime 10 years ago. In light of recent events, I've decided to re-watch some of their old shows and check out shows that I haven't seen yet. As expected, Tsurune looks great. Loved the first half of the episode as well, even though it felt a bit cliche at times. The drama arrived way too soon tho. We'll see where this goes. KyoAni has never made a show that I have disliked, so I'll probably enjoy this as well. First impression could be better tho. |
 |
| for once the club didn't start undernumbered with members trying to save it. That's good. I never expected to see a hottie shooting arrows bare-chested under moonlight. That's a pleasant surprise. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| What a fresh breath of air this anime! 🤩 And Kyoto Animation is delivering great as usual! 🙌🙌 Really looking forward to the rest! |
---- Life is nothing but goodbyes ---- |
| I guess it was an okay start The animation looks neat, which is expected from Kyoto Animation. |

| Why do have such a boring clubs here 😭 And who the hell is the handsome beautiful man in the end |
 |
| Pretty cool 1st episode, reviving an Archery club at high school might be interesting, also drama is already here |
 |
| Been 4 years! Re-watching this because S2 is airing this season and I needed my re-watch! Gosh, I missed this anime! |
