| i pass. the episode in itself was good but this kind of setting and premise are just so daaaamn boring to me. |
| That was surprisingly nice. I was afraid it was going to be something too similar to Shirobako, but it looks pretty different. Very excited for more, hopefully P.A. works delivers! |
 "Life is not a game of luck. If you wanna win, work hard." |
| That was a quite good start. I like the feeling of this anime. She should have read the contract. The part with the "monster" was funny. Looks like, that they mixed the Chupacabra with Excalibur. The moment he made hsss, I thought: Lizardmen confirmed. Well, he kind of deserved the bag in the face. This can make me forget a certain other anime. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Sweet show. Love the OP and Ending! Definitely have the potential to go further |
| Ok episode. I will watch but I fear it won't be as good as Shirobako. I hope the other characters and their interactions will be compelling. |
| That was decent. Unlike most people in this thread, I don't laugh at the Chupacabra scene. But the warm vibe is already well-settled, and the setting and current condition of each character can bring a lot of possibilities to how this series will go in the future. But the best thing for me in this ep is: Koharu's VA is so bae. <3 I can't believe she can copy Itou Kanae's goddess voice to almost perfection. Koharu herself maybe just a brat, but her voice makes her pretty bearable to me. |
| Ohh.. this is really good. Yoshino character remind me of Miyamori from Shirobako. The scene of the old man with green costume is really funny, and Yoshino with her coolness, took steps forward and beat the old man XD. Well the last scene made me glad, Yoshino now has the reason to work in that place. Btw nice Opening and first episode. |
 |
| It was fine as a first episode, with the exception of the chupacabra stunt. By the way, how did the tourism office come up with the idea of importing this creature when you have so many jap.alternatives ? XD The drawings are all really nice (apart from the pictures face-to-camera). Though, watching a young japanese adult going to professional interviews with pink hairs is pretty disturbing for a non-fantasy show. 3/5 I hope this revitalization story doesn't end up as yet another noseless girls/women doing aimless things. |
| Ok, i was surprised. didn't expect much since last works by this studio wasn't really my cup of tea. (except Nagi no Asukara) this was actually pretty good, i enjoyed it very much. One of my favorite starts of this season. |
| Koharu in first episode is literally what Miyamori Aoi from Shirobako would be doing had she failed to get into anime production job... |
 |
| I remembered the name of this anime but forgot what it was about. Anime looks pretty nice, characters are cute, was pretty entertaining, opening and ending were nice, and story seems pretty good so far. I look forward to seeing more of this. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| This was pretty boring, but the show will be heralded because it's Shirobakka 2.0; tourism edition.... At least I got a good laugh out of the old guy getting the haymaker. |
HaXXspetten said: Soo Joukamachi no Dandelion meets Amagi Brilliant Park? Kinda? Not totally won over by it yet but it was decent at least yeah, this anime makes we remember various others. For me, seems Kuma Miko meets Amagi Briillant Park. |
| I was expecting the first episode to be pretty good, since P.A Works previous track record with the "working" style shows like Hanasaku Iroha and Shirobako are really good. Thankfully, Sakura Quest has gotten off to a good start. =) Poor Yoshino has it tough as she's hugely unsuccessful in landing any sort of jib in Tokyo. Luckily for her, she did land one in the countryside, much to her dismay at first. The cast based at the town are amusing to say at least. The old man's response to the confection store lady was funny though. XD Same with the scene of the wierdo at the back of the bus that Yoshino got on. I would've back off slowly like she did after what he said to her as well. =/ Still, it is a promising start nonetheless. Nice visuals and animation from P.A Works as usual, along with a charming OP and ED songs, this could be a sleeper hit for the spring season. Even though P.A Works second title for this season, The Eccentric Family 2, starts very soon, I'm hoping Sakura Quest is a 2-cour show. =) |
| This anime could easily be a J Dorama. In fact I'm pretty sure I watch a j dorama with similar story before. It may not be flashy but it's the kind of anime that you'd watch after a hectic week full of action anime. |
 |
| Looks promising and I really like the atmosphere. Job well done PA works. Nice chose of OP and ED, I like the beat. Nice voice acting. Adorable loli at best. One of the shows I will really looking forward to. |
 |
| it was ok I think? I'm looking forward to how she gonna rebuild the town in the next episodes and the sub was terrible lmao |
| That was amazing!! No idea why it's only got 53% 5/5, because I truly loved it, a very strong first episode. Already we have a good sense of the characters and what fun things are likely to happen. That guy sitting at the back of the coach was hilarious just with that one line XD Can't wait to see more!! |
| Nice start, the monster scene was pretty hilarious, so i am looking forward to get more laughs out of this show. (o.o) |
 |
| A solid first episode. I'm looking forward to learning more about the MC's past and whatnot. Also, I really like the countryside setting, cuz it makes me feel cozy lol |
| I would like to say that I did enjoy this series but I am unsure if I will continue watching it. The first episode for me took its time to grab my attention and I’m glad I didn’t stop half way because by the end my feelings towards this series changed. The animation it self was the typical P.A Works but didn’t have that crisp to it, like some other series I have seen with them. I loved Yoshino’s character design mind. Full impression: https://bdt87.wordpress.com/2017/04/06/sakura-quest-episode-1-impression/ |
| so the memory was real that's cute |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| That was a rather fun first episode, it was very laidback. So all of the characters were introduced. The story went and explained itself. I'll give it a 6/10 for now. |
 |
| I'll have to give this at least 3 to 4 episodes to decide what I think. I did like the first episode. Sakura Quest so far seems like it's part of that anime tradition of the city hipster moving to a rural area and rediscovering themselves, while meeting a bunch of eccentric hicks. I'm not ragging on that tradition, since I quite like it = Barakamon, Only Yesterday, Hanasaku Iroha.....to name a few. |
| This is supposed to be Slice of Life anime rather than comedy anime. |
| man, this show looks great. i'm also loving the character designs. music seemed nice too from what i can remember (i literally just finished watching it but it's past 3am and boy, am i tired.), and i can already tell that the tomboy chick is going to be one of, if not The fave. i can definitely see people's argument for it being a rather slow episode but i made the right choice and started sakugara reset or w/e it's called first... now THAT'S a slow episode, fuck! i'm gonna go to bed now but man anyone else catch some feelings with that photo reveal at the end? maybe i'm just a sap lol :,( |
| first, Hanasaku Iroha; then, Shirobako; now, Sakura Quest! P.A. Works I freaking love you!!! |
| The epitome of slice of life. A little dull with standard art and animation tho 4/5 |
| "I left everything I own in One Piece" ~ Gol D. Roger |
| Best first episode of the season for me. Really feels like Hanasaku Iroha and Shirobako again, which is good. |
| Loving the OP and and ED. It's just... kind of boring. Looking forward to other episodes still though. |
  A simple feeling that I can't seem to shake Oh my love, you drive me crazy in the loveliest way I stay up, all night just thinking bout' the things that you say I call your phone and hope to hear your voice and all over again I am in love... Make me fall in love why don't you Just make me fall in love again I can't deny it I'm in love In love... in love... in love... ♪ |
| My prediction in next 2-3 weeks: people here said: This anime is so underrated! Why aren't more people watching this?!! F**k Attack on Titan T__T |
| No seriously. |
| Very boring anime. I felt like going to sleep when I watched this So, this anime is about girl who want a job, and she found job were she acts like queen in a town ! LOL. No idea how people could enjoy this shit |
| I can see why others would say it is boring. I like the setting because it reminds me of my sister and her obsession on getting a job far from the countryside. I laughed my ass off when Yoshino smacked the Chupacabra with her bag instead of pulling out the sword. Not gonna lie that last scene with ED song playing gave me some good feels. Excited for more next week(I really need to check out Shirobako too) |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| Probably the most Interesting 1st episode of the season so far. Basically this is like Amagi Brilliant Park and Locodol combined, in a way. Shirobako S2 instead of this would be nice though Will probably keep watching. |
 |
| Really nice song at the end. I already like Shiori and Yoshino lol that chupakabura scenes. You went hard at the old man yoshino. Pretty good introduction episode. That realization that the memory you held fond in your heart was in this same old town. |

 |
| Chupacabra's part was really fun to watch. Very enjoyable 1st episode. |
 |
| This was quite boring, I skipped through some of the parts, couldnt handle it, but the art and animation are beautiful as hell, as expecetd of PA Works, will give it 2 more eps for that. Also the ED song is amazing! loved it. |
  |
| this anime was a lot better than i expected.the artstyle looked very nice, the character designs looked good, and so did the background stetting. the animation was very good as well, being fluid in its action. the op was decent, and the soundtrack during the half-point of the episode was top notch. the story set up was pretty decent, and it was also funny when Koharu realizes what she has gotten herself into. there's also some nice heartfelt moments. will definitely continue watching this. |

| Nothing invokes emotion and sympathy out of me faster than near-graduates or graduates failing to get a job after applying to so many places. I mean 30 is probably on the lower end nowadays, but that is still a lot of effort. Everybody wants 20+ years of experience for an entry level position outside of the service industry so it is impossible to find good jobs nowadays. It is made worse by baby boomers slinging dirt when they have years of experience and aren't looking for jobs. Anyway, I'm ranting and I have no interest in getting into a discussion about that topic. Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that I wasn't really entertained by this. Ill give next episode a shot and see whether it improves. |
| Easily best opening episode of the season so far (and yes, that includes sequels). Looks promising, and just might be the saviour of a pretty meh Spring season. Pacing, directing, artwork is near spot-on perfect. Great OST so far too. Too early to tell about the storyline, and we haven't seen all the characters yet to judge what their chemistry is like, but so far so good. If they can recapture the magic of Shirobako, it will be AOTY candidate. |

| I really like this first episode. There were a lot of thoughtful exchanges that never overstayed their welcome. Hope that continues. |
| It reminds me of Joukamachi no Dandelion on the sypnosis. The 1st episode is alright with the funny moments (the guy on the bus and the old man). Things on countryside usually doesn't appeal to me much though if the story is good enough then it will entail me into watching it (ex: Barakamon). Looks like the real thing will start next episode with the rest of the remaining cast. |
 |
The character of Yoshino, is fun and cute, then as a baby was so pricey and pretty, Add to this, that has pink hair, she is perfect! The story began well, the work of the PA Works is always well done, I am very satisfied. I look forward to the next episode. Catchy soundtrack. |
 |
| Another show from P.A. Works. this reminds that you really needs to read and understand all the information that is in your contract or else you won't expect the this that should have been expecting. 4/5. |
 |
| Little queen Koharu is adorable! like working here will get her to appreciate her own hometown a little bit more. So I see potential in the character development. Looking forward to it. |
