Pretty standard idol theme show so far...

The visual quality is actually good but I'm not too impressed by Kasumi's introduction yet. I do like Kasumi's positive energy and personality though. On the other hand, that Rimi Ushigome girl is pretty shy.

Seems like a pretty causal show. Arisa and Kasumi has some amusing chemistry from this episode.

Seems like a pretty easy going show, should if not anything be entertaining. Kasumi's hair style is top notch too xD

Someone always has to have a wierdo introduction during class, at least she had a ton of energy!

Pretty cute first outing which is all I wanted/expected. Interestingly shaped pupils in this series. Kasumi found quite the nifty guitar, now get ta forming your band! XD

Very nice start, I really liked it.

Love all the characters they introduced already, Kasumi reminds me way too much of Honoka from Love Live.

That guitar is pretty cool, wonder why it was in the trash.
The entire ending scene with Kasumi discovering an interest in music put a big smile on my face. Can't wait to see where this goes. :D

I was bummed when I found out that this was going to be airing so late into the season but the wait was worth it! This was exactly what I wanted it to be. Basically Love Live but their going be rock stars instead of idols, or maybe even rock idols. Either way I liked it enough to keep watching. My one complaint though is that the mouth moments to the music were just terrible. It was very noticeable and I just couldn't not see it.

My hope is that they form the band soon.

An entertaining and enjoyable start. Essentially Love Live! with bands and a small sprinkling of K-On! vibes. As long as the music stays solid (since that's the focus of the show, of course) and mediocre CG to a minimum, it should be a smooth ride.

And I can already imagine so many yuri pairings, so that's a big plus for me!

The most enjoyable experience that this anime will give is going be the hentai doujinshi that spawn from it. The body proportions of these girls were very hot and shapely. The MC with her positive, pure energy made me imagine the endless hentai possibilities, because I am a terrible pervert of a human being.

That's about it. Literally one of the most generic first episodes I have seen. Energetic girl MC, uninspired idol music, all girls school, joining a club... This is an idol cash grab anime, except instead of idols, make it a girl band.
K-On with Love Live art and tone, essentially.

Must be fun going to school in Japan, lots of school themed anime's I watch have the characters looking to join clubs.

I would join the cosplay club

My first impressions of this are very good. I enjoyed the music Glitter Green played and the rest throughout the series should be pretty good.

Anime Network always triggering me with their yellow subs.

Pretty average so far. Do like the little detail they added to the eye designs, always a key point for me when looking at character designs.

Disappointed to see the dance routines CGI'd in the opening. Was expected but there's that small glimmer of hope that some other band/idol anime would do what Idolmaster managed to do. Oh wells.

If anything the girls are cute, so they'll at least make for some doujinshi material if the show flops.

Only watched this because Mimorin (Umi's seiyuu from LL!) leads the rival group and also her other group, Milky Holmes, voices that Glitter*Green group, which also includes Soramaru (Nico's VA). I love their songs here. I hope we get more to their characters soon too.

But as for the main cast, their introduction is kinda wonky, but I'll stay a bit and see what happens.

Do not ask me why I started this anime, perhaps it was out of curiosity, or because attracted by the fact that he had never seen a PV of this anime series, but the fact is that except for some difference in the plot, everything else I surprised, so it's also a little boring narration. Drawings and animations, are average. Useful as a pastime, come on!

I won't say that it was anything amazing, but I consider that it had a pretty solid start.

I'm honestly pretty hyped about the fact that is 25 episodes, hopefully it ends up being a nice anime.

Average idol series. I will give it a couple of more episodes to see if the characters amuse me... At least it didn’t irk me like Idol Jihen.

By the way, couldn’t they think of a better name than that? It sounds ridiculous, even for an idol series.

25 episodes? Where did you guys get that information from?
The website has only 7 Blu-ray discs, which means (based on that) it’s going to be 13 episodes, not 25.

Generic first episode and really slow. She finds the guitar which is nice but not much else. characters are okay, interesting enough. Maybe I'm just watching too many school setting anime but this looked pretty much like all the others from this season. I'll give it a couple episodes.

Not sure what to think so far. The girls are cute though, so that's a start. Guess this'll be a mix of Love Live! and guitars. It certainly gave me that vibe. Hopefully it'll be just as good. Didn't expect it to be 25 episodes, honestly, but we'll just have to see how this will go.

Surely the all-girl band in school genre is overdone at this point.
Fairly average for episode 1, it's what I would expect to be fair.
I don't particularity like the music anyway that's usually in these types of animes.
Didn't exactly find myself getting bored though, which is a good sign, so I'll more than likely stick with it until the end.

This was a bit good huh! Especially the ED and visuals + the CG of the girls while performing!
This is K-on + Love Live.
I hope this would be as good as the other girl band/idol shows out there!
