| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Aye, another idol anime this season. It's an okay show that isn't very tense in the drama. That Sakuma guy is probably someone to keep an eye on. Izumi is also someone to keep an eye on since she has a curoius personality. Pretty average episode though imo. |
 |
| An anime about theater... Good first episode it was really beyond my expectations. |
 |
| It's not idols... And it's targeted for fans of the game or female audience. However the story gets pretty strong later and the mc also has a strong personnality. And it's not a reverse harem at all like some might think. |
| It's a solid start, but knowing the amount of story for the two troupes, and knowing the constraints of the anime, I'm more and more certain they won't be able to keep this up for long. This time there wasn't even an OP, and apparently they didn't even spare extra time for previews, which just make up the ED. They also really need to tone it down with the pastel and grey "filters", they just hurt my eyes. (Pun not intended.) |
phantomfandom said: Also I don't know if this will be reverse harem or BL, but this is the perfect setting to be BL, because stage actors have very high percentage of LGBT. Nothing at all. Only some characters (won't say who) will develop feelings for Izumi and that's all. But the characters relationships are great. Romance is not a thing here. |
| I played the game counterpart, and I can tell that it's not a reverse harem, and that the MC is not annoying. To clarify, it's not an Idol anime. I won't spoil the details of characters because I am currently at the Winter episode of the game. |

Miaya said: Yes I play the japanese version of the game! I play the English one, I absolutely love the game and story. Sucks that we know what happens already. XD |
| The narrative feels unpleasantly contrived, but I enjoyed the first episode overall. The first few seconds got me hooked and I have a thing for these kind of stories. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Honestly only watched this because of my love of PA Works but i was pleasently surprised with this episode |
| This one honestly exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a bishie idol anime but didn't expect a serious anime about theatre. Only gave this a chance because of P.A. works. I am glad I did. Looking forward to next epsiode. Masami going straight for the lady lol. |

ysphyr said: Please be a reverese harem, please be a reverse harem! Haha it just has to be, there's nothing like that this season( I like the female lead, she has some guts. Wonder who she'll end up with. And that guy Furuichi... How hot can you be?? Whoa, the thirst is real! There's more hot guys for the second cour of this anime :3 (I stan Itaru xD) |
| I think this anime can become really good. The first episode kinda give me a love live safe the school vibe. In this case save the theather.I hope their can do it! I think we get a lot of drama and comedy in this one. I keep my hopes up for this one! I like the animation by Studios P.A. Works and Less known Studio 3Hz. The cast is pretty interesting too and I love to watch more of this serie! |
| Basically another "our club is being abolished" drama, another "talent vs. effort" theme... The visual is very bad and shitty CG background is everywhere. Can't make myself to watch it. |
 |
| Wow an otome style show with an actual protagonist? I'm impressed. Now this can either end up becoming another Stand my Heroes, or it could end up becoming another Amagi Brilliant Park Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST.

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I loved this first episode! I didn't know what to expect going into this, because I never played the game. As someone who was in drama club all through school I enjoy seeing stories about the theater and acting. I like Sakuya's personality and how much he loves performing. Izumi seems interesting and she seems to have some sort of background in theater. I might actually check out the game so I can learn more about this! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| As a fan of the game, I really enjoyed how the first episode turned out! They narrative was changed a bit in certain parts, but I don't think it took anything away from the story. If anything, it added more to Sakuya's character. And I love the implementation of Izumi's backstory with theater. We never got that from the game, and it gives us more insight to us viewers where she's coming from and why she sees so much potential in things that others do not. I'd also like to clarify to everyone that this is not an idol series! It is not a reverse harem or BL either, it falls into the category of "yumejoshi" which differentiates from otome (Please feel free to look up the term so you can be more informed!) |
| The first episode turned out to be so cute! I loved how they adapted the beginning and I hope they continue this way. The voice actress of Izumi is great! In the game we don't get the lines of Izumi voiced, but the choice they made for the anime was wise! To my personal taste, I would have liked them to use a little more «vivid» and not so «pastel» colors, but so far I loved the episode. Moreover, Izumi is an adult with very firm ideas. Most of the cast are also adults, and there are also some minors. But this story is about the creation of each troupe and exploring theater through the love that each member feels for it, not a romance or who-stays-with the protagonist game. |
 |
| First anime i watch with acting theme and seems very promising. The characters are really good, and the esthetic is amazing. One of my favorites this season. [100/100] |
 |
| It's not an idol anime. They're actors. They are not singing or dancing. Reading that put me in a sour mood, but anyways. I love this series a lot and the first episode really exceeded my expectations. Wasn't expecting it to be so dramatic, especially that moment when Masumi jumped over the fence www, thank you cv shirai. The series gets a lot better further on if you're into learning more about characters and how they develop 'cause this series does a very good job on it! For me personally, the only way I can explain the characters is "you go in for one character but end up just loving everyone" because I think all of the characters are really good and lovable. Anyways, I rambled!! I'm super excited for this to air!!! |
| PA Works lost all their greatness. again. RIP my favourite studio which did at least 4 out of 10 anime of the year from last decade. |
 |
| First episode was not that bad I just hope the anime does justice to the game, it would be good if they added scenes from backstage too The animation was not bad too, but it could be better Expecting more from later episodes |
| Anime Masumi was incredibly cute when he blushed, aw. Sakoda was hilarious in this. Summer troupe is my favorite, so cant wait for their half of the season. Enjoyed this take on the game, was going to wait for the engdub, but I was like might as well watch both, gotta hear my favorite characters just as I hear them in game, waiting patiently for my fav spring troupe boy to come. |

| Hmm, I enjoyed this way more than I tought, 7/10 |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| For a collab work between P.A. Works (on the 2D side) and Studio 3Hz (on the 3D side), as an anime-only, this premiere from the game was an OK one IMO, even though I've never touched the game before that's full of bishie shounens. Started like an idol anime, ended like one. Not sure whether I should retain interest because there's another cour of this (that covers Fall and Winter). But for one thing, the characters here are merely actors to fulfill "dreams" and take off with harsh conditions from the get-go. |
 |
| This show looks kinda interesting |
 |
| Pretty nice first episode 6.5/10 I didn't expect to like it |
| I'm playing the game A3! on my phone, so I pretty much know the plot already 😆 But I'm so exited how the anime is following the game exactly. Even the seiyuu/voice actors are the same! 😃 I can't wait to see the appearance of more characters! 😍 |
 |
| Ah, it's so nice seeing A3! in full animation! I'm waiting for Itaru in the next episode! |
| I've only played played the EN version of the game but I've been following the music from day 1. It's pretty good so far. renhiac said: SAME LOL. My favourites are Banri, Homare and Chikage so I definitely won't see them in this season. (Unrelated to everything above but my favorite character is Homare and he is in the winter troupe, so I gotta wait a whole year to see him animated and that makes me suffer) |
| I’m only watching because I want to see my bois in action despite the lack of quality. Masumi is lovable as always. Can’t wait to see Itaru! |

 signature set credited to Bunnyama 「No human has ever been whole. 」 |
| This looks promising with the dramatic hype being a stage actor. The convoluted situations kinda generic. But its on point to progressed their story. So far the male characters had its own trademark that differ them to each others, while the director girl looks so, intrigueing, but still own some clicheness. I don't know how to react this at my first impression, because this thing kinda new on my watching list, and its absolutely weird on my first reaction. However, as my pure thought, this show had a potential to satisfied me. Lets see the next one. |
