Definitely different for her, but I'm quite enjoying it! The song is composed by Shiina Ringo, and her style oozes from every pore of it, haha.

Can't wait to see it with the actual animation in the show. Only a few hours left (or maybe not, looking at the post above, haha)!

Edit: Looks like I might be wrong.

Crunchyroll and many other sites I've checked branded as episode 1.

Watched it with all 47 minutes. A bit unusual for the pilot episode:

Good stuff for the premiere. I like Yotaro already for his ability to connect with the audience. At first, he struggled a bit but I think he grew confidence as time went on and he has the "it factor" if keeps up the momentum.

The girl is also a tomboy and I like her role in this show already. The josei atmosphere is also nice to embrace. Dark horse of the season, calling it now.

Wow, they squeezed the two OVAs into ~50 minutes... I'm not sure how I feel about it, at least they showed most of the two main performances so that's good, but on the other hand they cut a lot of small things which made the story's flow pretty choppy. :/ And they cut out the part about Yota's tattoo... I wonder why, it's going to be somewhat important later on.

But more importantly - they're jumping into the flashback! Right away! I'm so disappointed. :/ There are some pretty good chapters that could've been adapted, to flesh out the relationship between Yota & Yakumo & Konatsu, but no... it's time for the Yakumo & Sukeroku love story. At least this means that we'll probably see the end of the main story, since they'll have to fill up the rest of the episodes after the flashback ends. I'm not sure how I feel about that, though, since that's where the story started to turn into something I wasn't that enthusiastic about.

Anyway, all that aside, this was basically the Seki Tomokazu and Ishida Akira Show guest starring Kobayashi Yuu, and on that front I've no complaints whatsoever, I've enthused about them enough times in this topic... They're so awesome! And at least in a few weeks we're going to get Yamadera Kouichi, too.

Dark horse for most. I am elated that it exceeded my expectations. An excellent starting episode. It drew me in and time just went by so fast. It felt shorter than most of the first episodes of this season's new shows. Especially when it's 47 minutes - double of the rest.

Really looking forward to the rest of this show.

Cutting this part is not a problem cause they already made an OVAs with full story.

Dop · 2016-01-08, 19:24

Wow. That was marvellous.

I'd had hopes for this show, partly because of the period setting, partly because of the unusual subject matter, and partly because it's really good to get a show that's different from the usual fare.

I was not disappointed. It was really good. I even laughed during the story Yotaro told when his 'Aniki' was in the audience, and I know humour is one of those things that doesn't always travel well.

So looking forward to the rest of the series to see how it goes.

I haven't seen the second OVA in its entirety so I don't know what is in there other than what we saw in this episode, so I can't speak about that... But I'm just sad that instead of having a better "foundation" for the TV series, with a better grasp on the characters and their relationships, we get an IMO somewhat choppy "special" and then jump right into the flashback. Of course the flashback is long and they still need to continue and then end the story after that, so I guess they thought they can't waste time here... but still.

Guardian Enzo · 2016-01-08, 22:12

That was pretty darn magnificent. You just don't see premieres as good as the two classics we've gotten these last two days very often.

Alf · 2016-01-08, 22:15

This is a very good start. The characters are very well done, and the rakugo performaces are also interesting. Yotaro's different performance shows much of what makes good performances and bad ones, and what it's like to be performing on the stage. At the same time it adds depth to the characters. This is impressive.

This episode seems to be a setup for the past story next episode, and it has done very good job to get the audience ready to hear the past story. I haven't read manga, but to me it seems the three promises will be a major basis for Yotaro's development, especially the past story they're going to hear may have a lot of parallel and contrasts in future.

Definitely not everyone, so it's gonna be one of those underrated anime.
But it looks like a good show.
