(Hi) Whisper Me a Love Song [Amazon Prime]

[Stark700]

Whisper Me a Love Song is getting a TV anime adaptation

Plot Synopsis

Yori Asanagi is a mature girl in many ways but is still pure when it comes to romance. That sentiment is proven when an underclassman, Himari Kino, suddenly confesses love to her after her band performance at the freshman opening ceremony.

Confused and surprised, Yori asks her friends for consultation, but they tease her by saying that she is experiencing love. Yori soon makes up her mind and tries to return Himari's feelings, but in a twist of events, she realizes that what Himari loved was not her, but her music!

Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau revolves around Yori and Himari's relationship. As Yori continues to pursue her love for Himari, she promises to make Himari fall for her. However, will this passionate love bloom or remain unrequited?

The announcment got leaked mid-December already. Glad it got confirmed. Tough, I'm a bit baffled as people either adore or hate the manga (I have not read it myself yet).

[stray]

I didn't realize it was divisive; I read the first volume or so a while back and thought it was just kind of okay. Its yuri though so I'll watch.

[Frontier]

Feels like we're in a new era for yuri adaptions .

[Kanon]

We're experiencing the golden age of Yuri.

[Liddo-kun]

oh, so this got adapted too. Will try watching.. but this is one of the yuri manga that I don't really like. So might drop after an episode or two.

[Last Sinner]

What exactly about it is divisive? I own six translated volumes of this. It's quite good. Not saying it's Girl Friends level or Pulse level or Aoi Hana level, but quite good.

It's not quite golden age of adaptation yet, people. It's still pretty contained to high school and a lot of them either contain utter tameness or utter clown fiesta. When some titles with non-bland adult relationships like Pulse, Even Though We're Adults and Doughnuts Under A Crescent Moon get adapted, that's when I'd start considering saying golden age. Or if things in the lines of VNs like Hong Kong: A Summer's End 1986, the Flowers quartet, Night Cascades, Perfect Gold and Heart of the Woods accomplished get adapted. Things have gotten better but they can still go a long way. I'd call it a Bronze Age at this point.

From my understanding reading around some people don't like the current arc because it feels like Himari and Yori aren't the main characters anymore, but Shiho is, and the manga is now about rival music bands.

Most of those aren't even Japanese but if we get a Chinese adaptation I'd vote for Please Bully Me Miss Villainess.

[Liddo-kun]

no one is interesting in character design, and no one has an interesting personality. Which is why I dropped early in the manga. Everything feels bland.

I like yuri, but this one is really boring.

[Last Sinner]

Amazon is showing the anime as airing in January 2024, saw it in their listing of the 7th translated manga volume being out in February 2024.

[Nachtwandler]

Delayed to April, they also changed the director:

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

[MisaoFan]

It seems Yokohama Animation Lab is currently taking on more projects than they could chew, almost as busy as MAPPA, Liden Films, JC Staff and OLM. And it's not even the first time a project made by them get a staff member change, Tsuyokute New Saga is currently being delayed ready to have a possibly radical change in staff.

[Nachtwandler]

In this case director resigned for health reasons (whatever it means) and intially Yokohama Animation Lab were only producing the anime, while the actual animation was handled by Cloud Hearts. Tру studios are probably related considering how much they collaborate. But in this case the change was probably forced later by production commitee.

Either director got sick because production was behind the schedule and they got themselves owerworked or directors health issues affected the production but it took some time for them to react.

New PV

[stray]

We have yuri! First episode was promising enough, though I didn't get far in the manga so I'll see if I fare better here. Picked up for now. Also its on HiDive and not Prime Video in the US.

[Kanon]

I'm glad the show is confirmed to be yuri from the very beginning. That being said, I thought the first episode was quite dull and uninspired. Being yuri is the main thing saving it.

Spoiler for first impressions:

Wasn't there another anime with a similar premise? The whole "I don't know love but I plan to learn it with the other character"?
Yeah.
Sure, this is Yuri, but here's the thing. When every single character acts like there is not anything special or out of the ordinary for two girls to go out with each other, then that means there is nothing special about "Yuri" either. You just switched a guy for a girl, no meaning whatsoever outside of that
Just saying

So yeah, pretty generic, as I implied above. It's not bad, but not good either. It's there.

Not every yuri needs to do the whole "b-but we're both girls!" thing, you know.

[KitsuKyouno]

It was very warm episode, actually show how younger generation will easily girl crushing each other without questioning
Also in the very beginning i thought Yoru and Kino similar to Yukino and Yui, but not more because the style get distance a bunch
