| I do admit that this gets more interesting, but I still kind of not liking this anime comparing to Tsuritama. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Episode 1 5/5 Episode 2 5/5 Perfect score so far. |
| Great episode. I feel like I can just sit back and watch this anime and forget my troubles. It's just that relaxing. And thank god there's no love triangle. Now Sentarou and Kaoru can have double dates lol. |
 |
| Second episode was much better. |
| Okay, I changed my mind on this anime for the good. I thought episode 1 was great, but this episode went to another level. A definite contender of the season! 5/5 for this episode! |

| Oh josei anime, you never seem to fail me~ |

MrsSpooky said: basabeo said: That was so good. I am not exactly sure why he was so surprised to find out that the two of them are Christians though. o.o He seemed to not like it. I am actually thinking of giving this a 10 already. I think Christians make up .01 percent of the population of Japan, so finding a couple, and you KNOW them, especially in a town like where he's living now, IS a surprise. My best friend's parents were living in Tokyo for about four years. He was talking to them via iChat video conference one Easter Sunday when I went over and started talking to them too. They had no idea it was Easter - there are just too few Christians for anyone to really make any kind of deal out of it. There are approximately 3 million Christians in japan. Your statement still stands about it being a rarity in japan, but .01 percent is a gross exaggeration. |
| Taken from Wikipedia (Notes on Christianity in Japan): Anyways... this show is seamless in it's transitions and I am blown away by how much I find myself sucked in and smiling without realizing it. So many scenes we're amazing... the jam session... the "love at first sight" on the beach... just beautiful. This is something special. |
  |
| Really loving this so far, besides the fact they put some emphasis on the religion. I hope they don't pursue that any farther than they need to in order to progress the story. Other than that, the art was refreshing once again and the music choice was astounding. |
 |
| Great little jam session there in the basement--I hope we get more. Don't count out a love polygon of some sort developing, we actually had two new characters introduced this episode with Jun and the new girl. We'll see how that develops. Interesting that they showed a Catholic church, but they were playing what to the best of my knowledge was a Protestant hymn at that time. Hopefully religion won't be a major theme in the series, but we'll see. There's probably enough to deal with looking at jazz and cultural diffusion. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| great episode. Does Maria have crush on Kaoru? |
| I liked the episode and their jam session was nice xD But I was disappointed with the end. I didn't think it'd be a heavy influenced by romance anime and this seems to be the case since in 2 epis we have 2 love struck guys and I just hoped romance won't be the main thing T.T I still hope that... with less chances this time xD |

| A new challenger appears! Nothing spectacular but a nice way to pass time I guess. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| Is it just me or did the new girl also have a necklace like Sen? Coincidence? I think not! |
    |
| Great episode. I just hope that Ritsuko doesn't have a crush on Sentarou or Jun. Im not sure if my heart can handle another Ano Natsu. |

| that was a true piece of enjoyment, beginning to end...took me back to the first time in my teens playing a really moving improv piece where everyone is working as one musical machine - that is a feeling of pure joy not to be found elsewhere (except maybe sex)... wondrous summertime seaside scenes as well - this is anime at it's finest! |
 |
| great episode feels like you just watched action(that brawl looks really fun xD), romance, music and comedy in 5 mins. |
| Nope. |
| Great episode! The session was beautiful. Maffy said: I liked the episode and their jam session was nice xD But I was disappointed with the end.

| Great episode. And to think that at first I didn't had any expectations from this show. |
| That session was wonderful. Are we gonna have some one-sided love drama in this show? I'm looking forward to it but the characters have already grown on me that I don't want to see them hurt. Oh well, I won't jump into conclusions. The latter half of the OP sequence is a magnet to my eyes~ |
| Amazing episode, this show has already far exceeded my expectations Great jam session, I'm gonna have to practice if I want to get as good as Sentaro New girl appears ~ The plot thickens |
| I didn't expect the comedy scenes to be so funny, but it felt like the entire time I was watching this episode I had a big smile on my face. Even with the drama it's still such a feel-good series.... |
| DAT LIVE SESSION!!! So much entertainment in just a single episode. Also, both OP and ED are growing in me. |
| What? the episode's over? but it's only been a couple minutes, oh? seriously? cmon! |
| What a fantastic series this is turning out to be. I just can't help but watch with a big stupid smile on my face for the whole episode! I hope the series is able to keep making me smile, so far it's my favorite this season. |
Ajunky said: Onii said: LOL, I was doubting Sen's orientation until that lady struck him like lightning.Totally not gay. I don't get you people... AH! Sen's NOT gay! Jeez! Didn't you guys hear him say "Mukae" when grabbing Nishimi's hand in ep 1??? He was waiting for her, he thought Nishimi was Mukae, that finally she came to get him for class! Reading subs is fine, but when it's Japanese Audio, you most often hear the names in quite a lot of dialogues. GAH! I'm glad though that the bishounen crap is ended by the new girl in this ep. I'm probably gonna rewatch this another 3 times like I did with ep 1... This is amazing. AMAZING. We get another fight! HAHA! LOL @ Kaoru tripping and then the water splash! Sen's totally into Kaoru... (NOT IN THE GAY SENSE)... As in, he's started seeing in him a band-mate. :) Finally someone of interest for the school jazz punk. :D Amazing quartet. =D Lol, yeah, Kaoru was all over the place, but he fit himself in somehow. :) Beauty beyond!! Ahh! Nice touch... Bringing in Christianity. Anyone would be surprised at least slightly because you'd think they'd be Buddhists too. And Sunday church adds to the jazz quality with the Church organs. :) yay! =D Ah... Knew Sentaro would tag along.. haha! The wharf was a good place though. And it wasn't totally fan service, THANKFULLY. :) I like how frank Ri'ko can be while at the wharf while ironically she had blushed when Kaoru's pants were loose during the fight. haha... Social rules. Fu! Sen's in love! Kawai!!! ^_^ Amazing. Can't wait for the next! This is elixir! |

| this might be favorite of the season.. I like refreshing animé series like this .. and also love the music playing .. I'm also glad that there is no love triangle.. ^^, |
| Amazing episode. My fave part was the jamming session. Sentarou <3 |
| Another great episode... Animation and style are awesome... Looks like our nerd guy may yet win maidens heart :) |
 |
| Enjoying this so much Another great episode and now hoping it will keep up its current performance for the rest of it. Like others said it just went so quick so easy to watch. |
 |
| Great watch. Knew it was gonna be epic from the first few seconds:D |

Reading subs is fine, but when it's Japanese Audio, you most often hear the names in quite a lot of dialogues. No, you're wrong about that. Sen said: "Yatto mukae ni kitekudasatta to desu ka?" - "mukae ni kuru" means 'to come for someone' and this sentence sounds very polite so it wasn't addressed to Ritsuko. Besides, Sen calls Ritsuko by "Rikko", not "Mukae". ^^ |
| I need more!!!! |
| nice episode just like the 1st one, but it seems kinda boring for me since i already read the manga until volume 2, but since it's going in such a fast pace, i think it would get interesting for me starting from around episode 4 or 5.... The jamming session was cool! And i found the scene at the church was really beautiful, am i secretly religious inside?? |
| Release the OST already please!!!!! |
| Nice one! Lots of things happened but the pacing just feels right. I can't wait for the next one already... |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I just love this. So so much. ♥ Live sessions are awesome. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| The love relationship is going to get much more complicated. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I LOVE THIS ANIME ALREADY |
| This anime is my fav. this season. (after fate/zero xD) |
