Hmm, I think the first episode is okay. We got a fantasy setting and I think that world has some potential for world building.

We meet a good amount of the main characters already and they seem pretty normal. Still, it looks like tragedy strikes for one of the main girls in this episode and she feels the reality of it. There's music and songs already which plays an important role in this series.

Not too bothered by the CG stuff but the animation quality feels so-so.

This should be changed from ONA to TV, Right?

Because Netflix just license and simulcast this in Japan.

I liked it, the music was nice, the visuals were colorful if under animated. The vibes it was giving off for most of the episode felt like a Disney movie with plenty of singing. Rin didn't get much characterization but I think the end of this episode should change her into someone more interesting. Finis seems a bit absent-minded and unaware of the harshness of the world, but her pacifism and care for her kingdom make her easy to root for when compared to the greedy prince.

It seems like this will be airing week by week during the Spring season. Shouldn't it be swapped to TV, Currently Airing, and Spring 2018?

Oh musical. Lovely.
1, Why does this thing more Macross than the other Netflix original that Kawamori-san writes (Juushinki Pandora)?
2. I expect them to explain to us why Rin can unfreeze the young knight's leg but cannot save her sister.
3. Regarding Suzuki Konomi's performance: while she gets the general expression right, the details ain't right yet. Stuff like breath when to breath in and breath out, or spatial control, or etc., she still does that like a normal pop singer.
4. Also Netflix messes up the sound arrangement. The ambient sound and BGM bury the voice the singer. Bad.
5. But the BGM and the songs are nice.
6. Although, at the same time, that's not really a praise, but a critic, bcs on Lost Song's case it's more bcs of the story being boring than the BGM being special.

7. and oh yes man repair how that armpit of Rin looks like, please. I can't fap to that.

Watching it as an Ar Tonelico fan, the song magic is pretty disappointing. But the song used in PV3 was rather nice, so I'll hold on to it.

But the songs in this episode were good in its own right. Just wanted something with more...depth? At the very least, it doesn't seem like it'll follow in 'Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii's footsteps. English in song magic when they're already singing in Japanese is quite immersion-breaking.

'Oh Aqua' is still fine I guess.. couldn't listen to it very well because of how they handled that scene. Haaa.

Not sure what you disliked about the quality of the plot or animation, but don't blame it on Netflix. Most of the 2018 anime they've premiered have been great, such as B: The Beginning or Devilman Crybaby.

Sorry, this may look good but I can't stand musicals, I'm dropping the japanese version of frozen.
No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas.
Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End
nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites.
Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!

To be honest, not too shabby. Actually quite enjoyable, especially for a first episode, despite the average animation quality.

Lol this Musical Macross.
Rin got a lower voice than expected, and Finis sounds more idolish than expected, but all the song voices were good.
Pv was CG dance, but here the dances are all drawn, looks fine.
Backgrounds are oddly blurry & grey tho.

Okay are we gonna talk about the fact that she tried singing after her sister has taken her last breath or what? She definitely had plenty of time if she'd have started as soon as she got there.

Also that first ep was really predictable.

saw this on netflix and decided to try it out, surprised there arent more viewers for it despite it being on netflix.
the animation doesnt bother me, despite the fact i was kind of expecting something like violet evergarden. it's a pretty generic first episode, still going good though. like the guy above me said go, rin totally had enough time to sing the song of healing while mel was dying.

Man first episode already got me crying. I’m a HUGE sucker for anything with a lot of songs. Especially anime. One of my favorite thing in anime is singing and I don’t mean idol series. Just series that have characters singing in them. The music is super nice and the visuals are so pretty.

Yeah, she could've sung and saved her. I get they wanted some type of emotional impact for the characters, and I'm not saying the episode was bad. That was just the question I had in mind when that scene came up. It kind of took me out of that moment.

What they could've done was, maybe introduce a type of limitation that singing a song has. Like maybe the number of times a user can use the power of the songs. Unless later on it is introduced that they can only sing a song with a particular effect once.
