Hmm I think it's cute.

The OP song is refreshing with natural looking colors and various places that looks relaxing. In addition, the boys are in the montage a few times. It's good to see Anna and Natsuki animated. I think the slice of life style of the first episode atmospheric and the karaoke stuff is pretty standard for this show. Cute start so far. Sadly, it's not a full show but it's at least a 2-cour.

OP is nice. Meeting at Christmas and she's in same school.

Loads of misunderstanding... Thinking she's in relations with the teacher, who is brother of one of friends, and thinking two guys are nambaing but actually they don't understand Japanese.

That hurts when the girl calling teacher in her sleep when holding his arm.

ED is nice. I see. Anime part is 15 mins. while another half is seiyuu corner. The narration sounds like it's done by Yamaguchi-san (Yup it was!).

Edit: It seems like club RAINBOW (Seiyuu part) will release separately: http://www.ota-suke.jp/news/160608

Wow, I wasn't expect it to be half as long, but if it's two-cour, then I'll be 1-cour worth of content, which is alright. The OP is alright, the style of it was good. Overall fun episode, even if it is a little bit generic. Already liking Natsuki!

Please tell me the raw I watched was pathetic! The number of missing frames was too much and I couldn't enjoy the episode. Way to ruin one of my most anticipated anime of the season. :(

They are making things clear from the get go. Which is okay, I think.

The animation was subpar, but that's what I gathered from the PV as well. It's a damn shame, since the manga is so good. :/

On the positive side, the characters were endearing, and they even made me laugh in the midst of such mediocre animation.

The real-life pictures from the OP are a reference to the companion short to Nijiiro Days, called "club RAINBOW," during which the four main voice actors will discuss the real-life settings that inspired different scenes from Nijiiro Days.

Tomoya and Keiichi making fun of Hashiba was easily the best part of the episode! "Ore no onna nandakanna. Yameruttebayo!" "Kyuu!" LOL!

Hopefully, she doesn't have anything going on with Sensei, although I doubt that.

Well, it's obviously nothing out of the ordinary, but the boys are pretty cute so it's all good. Although I feel like I'll be calling them Nagisa, Makoto, Haru and Rin...... << The colors are the same...

Nothing to laugh out loud about, but it's light-hearted and pleasant enough. It's nice to have at least one cutesy slice-of-life anime per season!

The kuudere guy that looks like Haru (Naoe-kun) is my favorite so far. He's adorable x3

I really like the theme songs, the OP especially.

The guys in this anime all look like Free! clones (not that that's neccessarily a bad thing).

Super cute so far. I think the Haru lookalike is going to be my favourite. Looking forward to the next episode.

The OC had me cringing, particularly the four guys lying on the ground then the cut to the clover, could that have been any more cliched. The use of actual photographs of places in Hakone was good, though I wish they would have animated the characters a bit better on to those photos.

But after that it ended up being a decent episode, they didn't over do the yaoi vibe, while the boys are still to a degree feminized which is generally the weakness of yaoi/reverse harem, too much projection of what the women writers fantasize about instead of taking men as they are (it's the same general fault in reverse as most harems), they at least can be imagined as boys, particularly in Japan. Fortunately it seems that this is going to go more to the high school romance genre anyway, so I am looking forward to seeing the characters develop.

Only hope is that the lead female MC doesn't end up with a disease, that would be disappointing, but will definitely watch the next episode.

That's because this isn't a shounen, it's a shoujo. A surprisingly good shoujo however.

Omg that was soooo weird to watch after Aoharu x Kikanjuu (Special was just recently released). Same voice actor (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka) yelling same nickname (Mattsun) and yet different anime hahaha

But, overall I kinda liked it, it surprised me though with the length (I wasn't checking before I just naturally assumed that it would be 24 min so it finished way to quickly for me) but yeah, I had a few good laughs :)
Looking forward for the next one.

the 1st episode had very little movement so i can't really compliment the animation, the show clearly doesn't have much budget or a hard-working team behind it (even the op was only a bunch of pictures too lol), but the art and character designs were nice and simple, i really liked that.

the main boys are cute and surprisingly funny! it's nice to have some lighthearted high school romance this season as well. i'm really liking it so far.

Why such low score? I thought it was soooo cute ;w; This is the third character voiced by Matsuoka that I really like since the first minute. Also, he said "Mattsun" as his character in Aoharu x Kikanjuu btw, lol. So cute. Kobayakawa is so pretty >< feels like the type of girl I always tend to like in anime. But the "sensei" at the enddd omg dammit. Also, loved the colorful art and the ending! So catchy!

Score is up now. I'm glad!

They seem really derpy looking at times.

This episode seemed kind of haphazardly thrown together and I don't think the short length is entirely to blame for that. Might be a source problem though, idk.

This will be more suitable for people who are already fans of the manga and are just watching this to see it animated/voiced.

Anna's a lot more quiet than what I remember. Also, Natsuki totally looks like Akihito from KnK to me?? Well, it's probably just me.

The opening and ending are really nice. I like how they put the characters in real life locations and how bright & colorful the ED was.

Just whyyyyy is this only 13 minutes long?! Dammit, I was looking forward to it so much... at least I hoped the part with the seiyuu after the episode was subbed too. Ah, talking about seiyuu, until now in my head Mattsun was "voiced" by Yuuichiro Umehara xD but Eguchi's great too.
For some reasons, I don't really like the op song, though.

13 minutes an episode is WAY to short.... I need full 23-30 minute episodes.

The comedy and the characters so far already sold this anime for me.

I cannot wait until the next episode.

I anticipated this a lot because I just want another Kimi to Boku kind of anime (tfw S3 never). Anyway, I've never heard of Production Reed before and I had doubt on it having decent animation, turns out that I'm... right. Everything feels so stiff for me. Anyway, seiyuu talk for the latter half? I'm in!
