| I turned off the volume when the mother started to sing, it was awful. |

| After the very questionable 1st episode, the 2nd episode is much better with proper pacing and character buildup. Should have put this as 1st episode. The 1st episode is complete mumble jumble with overly fast pacing. |
| The OP by Burnout syndrome is amazing. Setsu's mom is not only stylish but her traditional singing talent is mind-blowing. Her seiyuu did a really great job. This anime is way better than Kono Oto Tomare. |
 Two bothers playing shamisen in an Inari shrine felt poetic. Fairly surprising, considering how hot-blooded their mother is… Her voice is sublime, though. |
| The piece with his mom was so striking. It was a blast to watch them together. Man, there are so many cute girls in this show, it's crazy. I really like his childhood "rival", she was spicy. I think my only disappointment is that this going the school route. I think this would be way more interesting if he was a young adult instead. |
| This show is so top tier. The performances are emotionally powerful and meaningful. Possible AOTY contender if it keeps up this consistency. |
| Gigguk say this anime is lit so I watch it, I have no regret watching it |
| Amazing ost! Glad I've picked up this anime after all! |
| A great episode that was only marred by the intolerably obnoxious Umeko. I really hope going forward that we'll get more shamisen and much, much less Umeko. If Umeko is employed largely as a comic relief then she was a very misplaced choice because she is not funny at all. (Somehow) having her goons detonate the door hinges of other people's houses to take their door down was not funny either (it could also send all of them to jail but Umeko apparently thinks she is above the law, which is ridiculous; if that was a "comic relief scene" that was not to be taken seriously there was nothing comic or relieving about it). This woman of unspecified age does not act like a mother but like a self-serving spoiled brat, the kind of person I wouldn't want to be in the same room with or I might risk strangling them :p I hope she is just a plot device used to force Setsu to go to that high school, meet Maeda-chan, perhaps join her shamisen club etc etc, and then the writers forget all about her. I really hope Setsu does not play his shamisen again for Umeko. Ever. Neither casually nor more formally. I wonder why the (manga) creator thought it was a good idea to mar such a beautiful story with such an obnoxious and annoying character. |

| And here I thought this is an adult anime. Got totally baited by episode 1. Looks like it's gonna be something like kono oto tomare. |
| Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative. |
| His mother is sure a weird one xD I hated the singing at the beginning though, ngl it sounded like earrape :x, he's now going to school, it should be more interesting |
 |
| Some nice duets this episode of Setsu with his mother and also with his brother Wakana-chan. |
 |
| The duets (mother/Son and 2 Brothers) was amazing. This anime is bringing me closer to this type of music. |
