| I think this is one of my instant favorites of the season c: Being a musician myself, maybe I'm a little predisposed to liking an anime that has to do with music.. xD I can't wait to see the next episode~ So much anticipation to see how the series continues!! |
| I like this show. Im not sure why, but i like it. :3 But, considering the time, i have a bad feeling about this. :/ |
  |
| I had no clue what i was about to watch but man was this good i haven't listen to much jazz in my life time but i do enjoy some nice drum beating and with nice slick animations it's pretty cool to watch!,plus Sentarou and Kaoru are fun to watch. |
 |
| Not bad. |
| Nice. This should be fun for a music nerd like me. |
| This is great...another candidate for best show this season. |
 |
| This is my favorite april's anime the 60s century & the jazzy atmosphere is so beautiful the characters the music the direction ,, perfecto loved it |
| The OPENING and ENDING song are really really really good!!!! this season is officially the best season so far XD XD XD i love that the two noitaminA show this season really feels like the classic noitaminA, not like all those otaku stuff they were doing nowadays.. but.. it seems like the bro/romance between Sen and Kaoru, toned down a little bit... hehehe but it doesn't bother me, this is still sooo good!!! |
| i havent even watched it yet and i already rated a five! |
| seems promising btw does anyone know the name of the piece on 13:50++? |

| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| This was great |
| I wished the OP/ED were jazz too... I mean Yoko Kanno/Gabriela Robin |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The pacing is really good. Even though the first episode already covered most of the first volume it didn't seem rushed. |
| Great first episode in my opinion. Pacing was good anime just seem's like its gonnna be a high rated one. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Promising show, I like the atmosphere and the fact that it has to do with music. Feels like a dramatic Nodame Cantabile. |
| It was even better then I expected it to be. I'm really looking forward to it. |
| Certainly interesting |
 |
| Good start. I can already tell Sentarou lost his childhood friend (Ritsuko) to Kaoru. |
 |
| wow.. just, wow. to be honest, i went into this with not much interest. i thought it'd just be a nice little something to watch. but, wow! i normally don't go for shows like this and jazz isn't my favorite kind of music (i prefer classical heh ^ .^;) buut, it was very good in this show! definitely might be the show that i didn't expect this season! very, very good first episode. the pacing felt JUST right and the music was FANTASTIC. not too mention, the character designs really grew on me and i love all of the voices. and the animation. wow. i am hoping this will be on of the best. this and Sankarea i will look forward to watching. please don't disappoint me~! <3 |
| Cool :D |
 |
| i can tell this is going to be great. + jazz being a part of it just makes me love it even more. great OP and great art. |

| I already have too many anime shows to watch this season so I didn't expect anything when I downloaded this on a whim but when the noitaminA title sequence rolled I knew it's gonna be something. I'm not into jazz but this one seems particularly unique among the anime this season. The ED is somewhat sad but it caught my attention. |

| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| wow. that. was. awesome. |
  |
| Lived up to every expectations. The story progressed very smoothly and I liked the characters right away. Me being a huge fan of jazz and the team behind this also helped the transition. |
| I didin't liked the yaoi moment in the beginning but this first episode was excellent! |
 |
| Swag much? I loved it. |
  |
| i made popcorn just to watch this show. it made my day.. best weekend spent yet after series of exams and projects. its so rehabilitating, and makes u forget ur worries. its like living in a whole different world. i jsut love it! |
Karhu said: Well that's certainly retarded. no it's not, its an exaggeration to show how much i love and expect from this show and how eager ive been waiting for it |
aiNkyy said: I didin't liked the yaoi moment in the beginning but this first episode was excellent! You guys really need to take a look at how much girl ho yay is in every anime ever, then take a look at how straight females manage to deal with it, and then follow their example. It is far less difficult than you make it out to be. |
 |
| I think this will be one of my most look forward show this season. I like the pacing. Oh yeah, Sentarou's VA is awesome. He's Arata in Chihayafuru, Yukitaka in Level E and Nezumi in No.6. I didn't recognized the voice. But Hyuuga Junpei and Arata is recognizable. Anyway, this episode was entertaining. |
| If it weren't for my friend talkin' 'bout Samurai Champloo yesterday, I prolly wouldn't have found this. Kaoru is pretty *_* & the episode was awesome~ |
  |
| This appears to be epic, even though I'm normally not into music animes. I love the art, and the music is great too! I'm just hoping this won't develop into something shonen ai, but Kaoru seems to fancy the girl so yeah :) |
| ...this is good .___. |
 |
| I can't find the words to describe what this first episode made me feel. |
| That was a pretty DAMN good first episode. Lived up to the hype it was getting! Can't wait for the next episode! |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| great episode, i see that its also tagged as romance, i for one would rather this to focus on the music more then any romantic feelings/interactions between characters. |
 |
| It's the best ongoing episode i've ever seen, it was absolutely amazing. i want this to become my favourite anime. i don't like jazz at all, but this anime really touched me. maybe it'll change my vision of jazz |
| Pretty much awesome. I like every character this far which is rare. 5/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| Hmm.. i don't know. A little conflicted about it. It will depend on how it will go i guess. The story had a decent enough development to introduce us into this world but at times it felt kind of pretentious and boring. Especially the shots they used and the way they showed the supposed cool drum guy was down right corny. The main is also kind of lame. Omg am the glasses guy and i throw up when i lose my balance and i need to go the roof. Come on, for fucks sakes aren't you trying to make a more mature series style show? Why put such things in? Except if i got it wrong and it ends-up being a show for fangirls, but it gave me the impression that it actually wants to show music and stuff. |

| JAZZ. SO MUCH LOVE. *A* I love how they animated the drums and piano scene. So synchronized. It was perfect! |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Loved that haters gonna hate walk. This episode was fabulous. |
| |ω・) |
| HELL!! BLOODY DAMN AMAZING YO!!!! =D DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYMMMMM!!! I LOVE IT!!! Seriously!! That was one helluva animation. The art, the characters! The character designs and their personalities... To be able to spark all of that in just the first episode..!! Wow... I LOVE this. Sure, they make use of CG, but it totally fits it! I'm starting to love this blend. :) It takes anime to a whole new level of speed! Those drums were... ay!! And the nuances... ah! I love the smallest of movements that say so much more about a character! This anime sure as hell promises all of that! WOnderful!!! Bloody brilliant! =D |

yokaii said: Because of his father's job situation, freshman high school student Kaoru Nishimi moves by himself from Yokosuka to Kyushu to live with relatives.The girl, Mariko (a bitch), in not his sister but his cousin, and the woman is not the maid but the family mother! He said "Sorry my aunt" when she complain about him playing piano early in the morning. And after the woman said that it's normal Kaoru isn't well educated since his father was alone because his mother left them!The only thing I disliked was the whole cliche of the main guy's family. Especially the sister (?) and the maid which are actually there. The thing the maid said (something along the lines of his mother's a bitch) seemed forced and unrealistic. Obviously I have really high hopes for this and can't wait for next week. About the town, I was thinking about Nagasaki, so high slopes... but since I didn't read the manga I don't know if we know the name of the town. Still Kyuushuu like in Natsume (but near Kumamoto)! and around Reiko's time ^^ More than 3 days to wait until the next episode! already watched 4 times! ^o^ |
