That song was sweet.

I started this anime not knowing much about it but it seem pretty interresting.

From what I saw, I already guess that there will be a love triangle between the guitarist, that ginger singer and the mysterious pianist who is most certainly that black haired sleeping girl.

Next episode, they will surely look for who is that pianist and later form the new group.

So glad to hear White Album playing.
A small tear and a nostalgic feeling came over me even though I only saw WA like a month ago...
Great first episode

I finished the whole thing already and checked on some Soundtrack CDs/Files. I was only able find the festival version of "White Album". I'm looking for the version like the one in this first episode, I'd call it the piano version. No Background noises/Haruki-voice. A full version would be even better! If there is no such thing or if it will be published in the future, then also tell me pls...thanks!

Watched the first two seasons first to then get to marathon this, I must say this first episode was more impressive that the first episode of the first season.

Pretty decent setting and pace so let's see what this season has to offer.

I wasn't expecting much, but I ended up liking this a lot more than I expected.

Haruki actually seems pretty likeable, which is a good plus. Ogiso seems nice enough too. I think it's pretty obvious that the pianist is the black-haired girl (although I'd be rather impressed if it wasn't).

...I'll try not to set my expectations too high this early, but wow. That was a great first episode.

Hearing about White Album (in-show) kinda makes me want to watch the first series, but harems aren't something I care for that much. If anyone sees this and has a recommend either way, PM me.

Holy shit, this is really interesting. I'm not usually a fan of the music genre but this one makes me look forward to the next episode. That song at the end though, really good. I don't why they showed a spoiler at the beginning though, Male MC will end up with black hair, from the looks of it.

Already like this MC wayyyyyy better thatn the MC we had in White Album. Even though I didn't like the first White Album I really like that they reference Yuki from it. It really enhances this universe. It's been at least 10 years sinc e the events of the first White Album. I wonder how the characters are doing.

Ogiso seems like a really nice girl. She kinda reminds me of Rina in terms of looks from the original White album. I really like that she was singing Yuki's song.

Seems like this is going to be way better than the original White Album.

The animation is definitely pretty and the end song was beautiful. I really liked Setsuna's singing. Overall not a bad start.

Really awful that it is a top recommendation. School Days we very shallow on the general themes that it had in common with WA2. WA2, every downcast gaze was intended.

Anyways, hope you enjoy it. Saw on the forum front page a recent post for a show I've seen 17 times....

I think you heard wrong.. Coda is supposed to be great drama, not this anime. The drama in Closing Chapter and Introductory Chapter pales in comparison. This anime only covers Introductory Chapter..

It seems to me that they would have better off not spoiling things from the get go. I kinda know what's going to happen now.

Setsuna is cute, but dark, mysterious bishoujo gals are hard to beat in my book-

It's not often that I find myself getting teary-eyed after watching the first episode of a show, but... here I am.

Anyway, this was fantastic, and I can't wait to watch more.

That song in the end. I cried manly tears ;__;


coming from the original WA, yes it brings a lot of feels

also liked the little bit of Sound of Destiny in the beginning


feels like the concert and flashback thing in the beginning is a big pot of spoilers, but i guess its fine since it isnt hard to guess

not sure whose boat ill be on yet... was a fan of rina for original VA so im assuming ill take the setsuna boat (similar roles)

My first encounter with the WA series, and after first ep I'm pleased! Although can't say I'm the fan of spoiling the ending in the very first scene, but I guess I can live with it...
I can't say I'm a huge fan of character-design in this adaptation, at least for now, their chins are sooo pointy ;_; But maybe I'll get used to it. MC seems rather unique for love triangle, and Setsuna's seiyuu's singing voice is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, I have big hopes for this anime!

Cute start. Might be more promising than season 1. Wondering who the mystery piano player is. MC off to a good manly start with the beautiful girl.

Ok, I really liked the second half of this episode. The song was very nice and catchy, the overall directing was nice.

Yeah, I don't know how to feel bout spoiling things the very first minute, but we don't really know how things unfold, right? So there's that..
The MC seems kinda likeable, the main girl seems too... Lets see of black haired girl lives up.

But yeah, the second half was really nice.
Let's keep on watching.

I liked that song in the end despite the episode playing at 1.5 speed. Hope this will be worth a watch.

I'm already rooting for Ogiso but I bet the piano girl is the other love interest and maybe my opinion will change next episode.

Loved the dude's delayed reaction to the singer's voice at the end.

And wow, that final song set the bar pretty high for this anime's OST. One ep in and there's already a banger track.
