That was as homoerotic as an anime can be without it being explicit. This one will probably just end up being bait though.
I'm already loving the two main girls. They complement each other really well. And thank you for casting a seiyuu who can actually sing to play a singer character! It's always so jarring when speaking and singing voices are done by different people. It's not like there aren't a ton of seiyuu who also do work as singers.

I am curious about what exactly went down with Kano. Safe to say there was way more to the situation than her getting pissed and lashing out. With her reacting the way she did it seems a given that the manager was involved in what went down somehow.
Mahiru's troubles were much more clear-cut. She had such a passion for art, but felt like crap when her friends bashed it. Tastes are going to differ and obviously they didn't know she drew it. But at the very least it should have been obvious that she didn't hate it since she excitedly brought them over to see it. Regardless of all that, she really took a hit in that moment and her passion crashed. I do look forward to seeing these two shine. Mahiru really needed the push, but with it she should be able to recapture what she lost. Just a really solid start and I look forward to keeping up with this. Quote:

[edit]Huh. Subs are working now and there are lyrics. Maybe there always were... I do have a hard time paying attention to two pairs of subtitles on a first viewing of a new series... but I don't remember understanding the song and I think I would if they'd been there...[/edit]

So, based on episode 1, the show wants us to sympathized with the MC whose art got bashed by her friends...but then at the end of the episode, she also didn't think highly of the cover song that the indie idol do in front of her mural, and then the secondary MC hijacked the indie idol's live-stream just for her passionate-but-egotistic outburst??
Yeah that's...not a very nice thing to do especially when the poor indie idol seemed to also worked hard setting up her own lifestream to make it big. It wasn't her fault to do it in front of the MC's abandoned mural that the masses don't even seem to like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now I'm sympathizing with the indie idol more than the duo MCs thanks to their dick move towards her. She did nothing wrong, generally.

Girls becoming friends and doing art/music stuff. Looks like a lot of the rotoscope style shots were hand animated, impressive in the land where everyone wants to lean hard on CG. With the lewd shots involved it seems the pedobucks are being well spent.

A few seasons ago, there was The Aquatope on White Sand, in which the message of the story - at least as it looked to me - was "The adult world is where your childhood dreams go to die, so just suck it up and take it."
I found myself thinking about that as I watched the first episode of this show, because the message I got from this one was, "The media-consuming world is where your childhood dreams get punched in the face, so hit back and find your own way to your own voice." Admittedly, both those impressions are likely influenced by my own experiences. And hey, Mahiru is voiced by the same seiyuu who played Kukuru in Aquatope. Must be fate. |

This really does give strong "A place further than the universe" vibes. It's a show I absolutely loved so I welcome it.
Kano really hasn't thought of much of a plan to become popular. At least no a realistic one. But since this is anime, a composer fell right into her lap! Well, she did have to win her over, and she did so by genuinely caring about her fans. I really can't blame her for not recognizing Mei, she looked like a completely different person before she dyed her hair. But remembering her and upholding her promise to listen to Mei performing was more than enough to make Mei realize Kano's appearance and singing style may have changed, but she's still the same kind and passionate person on the inside. Next will be Kiwi. Guess she'll be in charge of PR.

What an interesting first episode. It was great. The two main leads really complement each other and have good chemistry. Being an original show, it could lead to great things. The animation was surprisingly very good.
Yeah, I guess I wasn't the only one who felt that. It also felt a bit like P.A. Works Iroduko as well. |

it was a nice story on how kim and kano met, no wonder she became such a fan of her after those words.
we got a little more info about the incident, kano and that idol really didn't like each other so there is that too. |
