Superb. I had eargasm.

There are many greats in this episode, but the greatest might be the MC. I sincerely think that I would not mind him having a harem.
Setsuna is very likable too, much to my surprise. And I'm pretty sure I will like Kazusa. This will be my enjoyable dilemma.

I don't really mind the spoiler at the start as long as they can touch my heart along the way. That we'll see.

Also unlike 1 white album 2 is 2 games. one being the introductory chapter which is actually rather short. Consider this the prologue. Then you have the closing chapter which is quite long and takes place a few years after the introductory chapter.

I was expecting another failure romantic drama but it was very enjoyable. Ending scene was beautifully executed, loved the song.

Pretty good, makes me want to play the VN, although someone in this thread forgot to put spoiler tags :/
I'm sure I'm not the first to notice but the female lead looks like Asuka Lol.

Nothing about the game itself has been spoiled. The actual synopsis is as follows.

Description

As if to match the guitar I play in the afternoon music classroom,
as if to match the piano someone plays in the next room,
the pure singing voice from the rooftop connects the three disconnected melodies.

It all started in such a day in late autumn.
At that time, someone fell in love.

Everyone was doing their best. Everyone pushed on. Everyone was intent and honest…
We formed a bond and obtained a precious moment.
That’s why someone fell in love. A love that was too late, a love that shouldn’t have occurred.

And then comes winter. The falling snow covers all sins.
And spring eventually comes, melting the snow and imposing all punishments.

first episode was pretty good. it set up a nice foundation for a love triangle. i haven't read the VN, but i've seen that it's separated into two different games. i'm guessing the "introductory chapter" is up to the moment that is shown at the beginning?

That ending was the best ^^ that, right there, is fate. That sounded amazing, too ^^

While the episode initially felt kind of uneventful, that ending made me feel it was going somewhere (and also that it's a first episode). So, I think I might enjoy the soundtracks they have to offer (^O^☆♪

The stories of the first seasons of white album aren't related however Haruki did mention 10 years ago the famous "white album" from the original char from the first season Morikawa Yuki.. so from what he said, this series takes place 10 years after the other white album series.

I know it was briefly mentioned but I felt the opening concert scene was not needed. You can basically infer there's some sort of love triangle that's going to develop, with a scene that involves MC hugging one of the girls while the other watches.

I haven't read the VN but this felt like it was a really good adaptation. That's a very good thing knowing how good the visual novel supposedly is later in the story.

Will definitely keep watching.

Was originally planning on watching the first series prior to this but didn't have the time. Was pleasantly surprised by the first episode so far. The song at the end was beautifully done and I genuinely find the characters and interactions to be pretty solid.

I have a question for those of you that have watched it. Is it worth watching while in production or should I just wait for it to finish and one-shot it? I hate watching things week to week but if it's worth it...

For great series, watching and waiting week by week would glorify all of its epicness and everything it included.
For so-so series, doing so would make you forget what you watched last week.

Overall, I will say I was pleasantly surprised. This turned out to be one of my favorite debut episodes of the season.

I'm mostly watching this as purely an anime viewer. I haven't played the visual novel, so I'm not sure how well it is adapted, but I will say as an anime, it seemed very pleasant. I loved the music and the leads seem pretty interesting. I do have to say the script work is pretty solid considering this is based off a visual novel. You never know what you'll get with a main protagonist in that regard.

in the intro.. you can already tell what will happen to this whole series. LOVE TRIANGLE. But, but, but.. Ogiso has such a nice voice. I think I will like her.. But in the intro :/ It showed us that she's not going to end up with Kitahara. Because Kitahara's more curious about that "Elite Student" in the music room 2.. And we all know, who's that "Elite Student" is .. it's a GIRL with the long black hair. and she's Kazusa Touma :/

I almost skip on this because I didn't want to watch the first White Album lol.. glad I gave this a chance. Seems like a superior romance drama from the start, the music is definitely very nice.. befitting the White Album title I suppose. It's probably going to be one of the best this season, I'm definitely liking this over Nagi no Asakura and Golden Time.

Before I started watching anime I was reading visual novels and it was really disappointing to me that one of the highest rated ones wasn't translated. I've got high hopes for WA2 here and don't know what to expect.

Was an excellent first episode and can't wait for more.

Something about Haruki rubs me the wrong way. Like he's too sure of himself.
Time will tell, I suppose. Everything else was great though, I haven't seen good romance drama in a while.

4/5

Nothing epic, character design that reminds me of old 90's anime series, good color design, animation deserving. Characters that do not seem too stereotypical, especially the protagonist does not look like a poor fool, as we are accustomed to seeing Nelg the last few years! LOL
Plot that does not disappoint, but even enhances it. Narrative all too predictable, goes well with the oil, so in life is anything but easy! ^ ^ "
Accustomed to the stories Aquaplus, I already know that will be romantic enough to make me melt! : D

For me it is the first time I see a picture of the White Album, I wanted to go with the previous series, but it was too concussion and are passed directly to this!

Never heard of the franchise before, so came in with no expectations. This first episode blew me away, we have a complex main character, beautiful music and two beautiful girls to go along with it. I can see that this will be a good ride.
