----------------------------------------
I remember watching the original White Album series before so I decided to check this one out. Eh, not bad I guess.

The OST was smooth at least, actually now that I'm listening to it on headphones, it's actually pleasing to the ears. Guitar huh? Oop, I hear a song at the end there.

Pretty much the expected point to stop at, which is great. Main issue is that they spoiled things by showing the concert scene at the beginning, instead of how the original handled it.

Pretty nice.

The last part where he was running all the way to the roof was really beautiful :)

The music was nice too ^^

I'm hearing quite a lot of good things from the VN players, so I hope it delivers.

For any VN player...how was this ep in comparison?

IC is linear so I guess it wasn't a big deal. It's the journey, not the destination right?

There's a lot of talking and character study and it might bore people who are not a fan of this. But it was certainly not a bad episode.

It's Setsuna's introduction episode, but there are hints of Kazusa's involvements. I guess Kazusa's proper introduction episode is next

I have finished the VN (all the parts) and fortunately it did not manage to disappoint me but for now I still like the original more. :)

Are you kidding me? The only good thing about Toya was his hardworking. While Haruki is smart and he doesn't play henpecked with girls.

Fantastic music, less-than-average plot and characters tho, nice art. I wish the main character would look more like a normal guy, instead of a harem MC. Anyway, main thing I liked was the music for sure. Piano/Guitar/Singing blend is nice.

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about his appearance compared to the eroge but you were actually talking about the first White Album. My mistake, sorry. Maybe Leaf had to make Takeya the MC, hmm.

That was an interesting first episode for me.
They introduced the characters, in a neat way. First showing the future/present to how the band/club? started to form at the end of the episode.

I especially loved how the piano, and guitar went together. My two favorite instruments that i play and love to listen to.
Then that singing sounded pleasant and soothing to my ears.
I guess i would consider this one of the best opening introductory episodes i have seen in a while.


I also like how the Male MC isn't wimpy. He is smart, hard working and only had a simple dream/goal.


Oh and is the first season worth watching?

Decided to check this anime out of a whim, but it seems it is going to be interesting. Will watch. (I guess also watch the first White Album even if they are not connected storywise).

If a show is listed as "Other" and not sequel/prequel that would mean it does not follow a continuum with a show of same name. While it may be nice to have watched the other version it doesn't make it a requirement as far as where this story will start and end.

Edit: and that was a good start to this.

I was looking forward to this show. Even though the original White Album series was not that great I still enjoyed it. This first episode was pretty good although I didn't like how they spoiled the concert in the beginning and showed the love triangle that was bound to happen. Still i'll be following this.

Could it be?! A non beta MC!! This was probably my favorite start to the Fall season so far. The MC is a strong willed guy and the girls seem great as well. For some reason the song at the end sounded familiar but I've definitely never heard it before. This kind of makes me want to go back and watch the first season. I think I'll try and get to it soon. It's a shame the VN hasn't been translated yet (they're working on the opening chapter but at a slow pace).

If you want to know more on Yuki Morikawa the one who composed White Album then watch it.

I sure missed Yuki's White Album song. So relaxing, smooth, and calm. As for the episode, promising. I think WA2 will be similar to Tari Tari.

The song they were playing throughout the episode (called White Album) was a single sung by one of the heroines in White Album. That's it.

Liking the start so far, such a lighthearted and calm episode. Also the ending scene, when she was signing, was enjoyable.

I really like the animation in here, having that calm atmosphere around them and the characters were likable like the MC's personality. Well let's see what the next episode look like.

No, you don't need to watch white album 1. They are pretty much entirely unrelated (minor things aside)
