It begins airing on Chiba Television on 4/22 at 24:30 JST (usually it'll air at 24:00, but there are elections in Mabora today, which will delay Chiba's schedule for 30 minutes).

Edit: Beginning at 24:00 JST (15:00 UTC), Kadokawa will be streaming an event around the premiere and showing the first episode. (Yes, this will be raw)

Did I just miss the news that there will be a streaming for this?

I posted that stream right above your post, but it's only for the first episode. None of the NA simulcastors have announced they will continue after Kadokawa's simulcast. Neither has NicoNico.jp announced they would stream it weekly for the Japanese fans. (Somewhat strange since the Kadokawa Group bought a good portion of the parent company, but I digress)

Whoops.

Well in any case, let's enjoy the free streaming for ep 1.

ultimatemegax · 2012-04-22, 10:33

I would like to apologize. With how the announcement was worded, I read it as they would actually broadcast the first episode. Instead, it appears as though they are simply providing commentary from Satomi.

It was worth it for the moment she realized the camera could see down her shirt every time she leaned forward to read the chatroom.

On topic. Anyway, psx will be streaming the 1am airing so I'll be sticking around for a while.

So, did it already air?

Outside of the pre-airing event, the first airing is ongoing right now. The official stream I linked had sounded like they would stream the first episode (it literally said "Episode" in the order of events), but instead they're just doing commentary with Satomi (Eru) instead. I am vastly disappointed.

Hyou-ka OP

Skane · 2012-04-22, 11:29

I was wondering which style they would choose... and I must say I am surprised they went with the FMP!-type of OP. Makes me wonder if they will adopt some of the school hijinks that went on in FMP!'s school setting.

Cheers.

leokiko · 2012-04-22, 11:43

An ''ok'' opening. They aren't usually good when it's slice-and-life(except for Kids on the Slope this season, but that has jazz) with nothing else, but they made it decent with this one.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA · 2012-04-22, 11:47

I was quite bothered by the bubble effect, but the rest of the OP is ok. I like how they emphasize a bit on the interaction of the 4 characters.

OceanBlue · 2012-04-22, 11:48

Wow, that's a nice OP. There's a lot of subtle movements that really make it pop. I hope the series is like that too.

Blue-kun · 2012-04-22, 12:16

Only got to watch the first two minutes and the OP, but I must say the soundtrack is already a hit. Tanaka Kouhei certainly delivering in that front. Also, not exactly related to the episode, but the new Kyoto Animation CM looks really, really good, and is sure to surprise a lot of people who say they can only do "K-ON!" style things. With some luck, fansubs will be able to pack the CM together with the episode.

Anyway, I'll comment on it a bit more after I watch the actual thing!

Well since this is Takemoto's baby, we'd probably see some of his preferences here.

Also, now that raito-kun pointed it out, this did remind me of Super Driver's(Haruhi S2 OP) sequence. Never knew Takemoto handled that one as well.

Hmm... the reason why I specifically mentioned FMP!'s OP is because it has been a long time since KyoAni has done a more sombre type of OP. The kind of OP that has a wistful aspect to it, of the good times and the bad times. A contrast of dark and light, of drab and vibrant.

Something which Hyou-Ka's OP has.

Lucky Star, K-On, Nichijou and Haruhi are all series in which their OP is superhyperactive go-go-go. Bursting to the seams with energy and unrestrained joy. You don't expect to have extreme drama after watching such an OP, but with Hyou-Ka's OP, you get the feeling that there is going to be a lot of conflict in terms of emotional drama.

I find that very interesting, but whether it will live up to expectations... well, we'll soon see enough.

Cheers.

LC Shocking Pink Join Date: Dec 2007 Age: 17	Spoiler for Episode 1: Very good first episode. KyoAni always has good animation, so the quality was no surprise. I really liked some of the extra imagery (Eru's hair, for instance). __________________
