The faces and expressions were fine, but a lot of the animation for walking and movement was just screwed up.

Not to mention, a lot of the camera angles they went with made the limbs look...horrendous.

4/5 here, I could really dig this.

Sorta reminds me if you mixed BECK with Lucky Star.

I liked this. The characters are cute, the animation is pretty good, and it's making me want to go out and buy a guitar ^_^

The first minute or so had me worried with the number of cliches Yui was busting out. It's been a while since anyone's dared have girl-running-with-toast-in-mouth.

But I liked it by the end, since music and playing in groups fires me up. I was really involved in music throughout high school so it's familiar to me, and I like to see what they do as far instrument brands and arrangements for the show. I totally nerd-out when it comes to instruments and gear. Remember in Lucky Star when Tsukasa was playing recorder? Ya, I had posts discussing what brand it was (pretty much a Yamaha 3xx series) lol. Since the music is done by studio musicians, I have the feeling their 'poor' playing in the beginning will be represented by simplistic arrangements rather than actual bad playing, as seen when they played for Yui. Believe you me, even being able to keep tempo and some tightness like they did is better than most start up high school bands, hehe. But whatever, no one would want to listen to real amateurs playing.

And yes, they seem to love Gibson's, maybe it's a KyoAni thing. And I seriously hope Tsumugi gets a keytar like in the ED, keytars own.

That was my whole point, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look like that. Sure KyoAni may not be perfect but I doubt the animation 'quality' was unintentional.

Consistency is a much better scale on animated quality.

This anime is definitely on the top of my list to watch out for every week. Is it all right for me to fall in love with Yui and Mio?

Oh yeah, REAL subs are out nao...I think. Just thought I'd let some know.

The legs and knees reminded me of people who had Polio or something, all croocked and such.

They should get someone to break out the Rickenbackers like Haruhko's 4001 bass from FLCL. I'd love to see them use a Fender Jazzmaster or a Rickenbacker 360 as a guitar

Yes, finally. I watched the NON-TROLL sub.

Anyways, this episode was nice and probably another anime that is still making me learn how to use the guitar I randomly bought.

Beyond my expectation i guess. This show humor fit well in my humor sense.

And the OP n ED really great.

Well as long Mio and the music still great, definitely i will enjoy this show.

Now, I am clearly wanting more out of this than it can possibly deliver, but I would like to see them get dark and thrash out some serious death metal. And some funk to showcase mio. But in reality the menu will consist of Jpop, and Jpop with extra Jpop available upon request.

I loved it!!!
I loved the character design, the musics,
the seiyuu voices, everything in this show is win!!

I wasn't expecting that much of this one.
I knew it would be good (i like all KyoAni productions).
Now, i think this one can enter my fav list if it continues like that.

Hope next week passes fast, so i don't feel anxious to see episode 2...

Well I just rewatched it with subs. While I was able to follow along pretty well with the raw getting the full comprehension of what was being said made me enjoy this much more.

The characters are interesting and I'm really liking the music aspect to this show.

Very mediocre. Super disappointed.
Beginning was annoying.
Didn't laugh at anything other than Ritsu's antics and even then it was a small chuckle
Yui is annoying (The stupid ass sounds she makes are like nails on a chalkboard).
Tsumugi's eyebrows are a crime...wax thread something sheesh

Please pull a Toradora and amaze me a few episodes in..It's Kyoani so I'm sticking around but seriously this episode did not gain my interest at all.

the Ed was pretty great though /credits Mio and super cute outfits

Someone put up a review of the first episode of this anime and compared it to Haruhi.
Is that a comparison that can fit with this anime?

And what if you think that Haruhi is an overhyped, filler-filled, shallow piece of mediocrity, would you advice this anime to someone like that?

Meh, that was disappointing tbh. Well, it's only the 1st episode so maybe it will get better...
Yui is annoying, but at least Mio seems like an interesting character. And i liked the ED.

I thought Mio looked kinda familiar; I was thinking throughout the whole episode, "Why do they all look familiar to me?" xD

Anyway, loved the OP and the ED, and I'll be looking forward to episode 2.

Wow this was amazing. I loved the OP and ED (especially the ED), and the music was top notch all around. The performance was just a preview to good things to come IMHO. Also, DMC reference was amazing, and the voice acting is incredible. Love all of the characters already, and I hope this keeps up.

OMG TSUMUGI! DEM EYEBROWS R INCREDIBLY CONSPICUOUS!

things started out pretty dry for this series, especially the humor. put of the 4 main characters, only Mio's role as a straight man for Ritsu can be considered remotely amusing. the 2/5 gets bumped to a 3/5 for the great ED.

Parts of this show reminds me of 'Swing Girls', 'Linda, Linda, Linda', Haruhi and Manabi Straight, for some reason. Besides that, any show that throws in Krauser II AND Jeff Beck definitely gets my vote, lol. Best anime show of '09, so far.

I had high hopes for this anime and no, I'm not disappointed. K-ON! seems pretty awesome, just after the first ep and I'm definitely looking forward to the next ones. Great characters, with Yui and Mio being my two favorites as for now.

PS. Great OP and ED. <3
