Since I was pretty hardcore, I was able to watching the streaming version at its broadcast time. I'll wait for proper fansubs, but I REALLY like the OP and ED theme songs. Both sequences had the girls playing their instruments to the songs though though I'm growing fond of the ED sequence since it had them wearing gothic lolita outfits after they showed the naked top part of the girls. :shock: :oops:

Oh yeah, I confirm Detroit Metal City and Jimi Hendrix references in this first episode! 8-)

2chan pretty much ripped this apart as it aired, with hundreds (no kidding) of image caps from the live broadcast. The thread's still up for now: http://dec.2chan.net/18/res/8545868.htm

Now all I have to do is wait for the fan art to start rolling in, possibly in the thousands by the looks of things...

Gah, I couldn't resist!
Decided that I'll watch raws as they come out, and then later rewatch (and store) properly subbed WS eps. :p

To the ep itself... oh god Yui so moe. x3
The other 3 are cute as well (Yui > Mio > Ritsu > Tsumugi), great chars. :)
Had lots of laughs with this, looks like the show has met my expectations... and probably even exceeded them overall. ^^
I dare you challenge me.

Mio's my favorite character so far, but Tsumugi has a great scene at the fast food place (french fries!). :D

And I was this close to making Ritsu my new avatar to replace Haruhi (for a while at least) since I can keep the theme of 'headband-wearing club president/instigator'. Plus, look at the scene where she drags Mio down the hallway and later, drags Yui into the music room to meet the other members. :mrgreen: Although, stylistically she reminds me of Yukino from Kare Kano. Some of it might be from the similarities between their school uniforms (although Yui is the one with stockings).

Yui is suuuuper cute.

Tsumugi can be quite entertaining (see the above mentioned fast food scene), she has an o-jou sense about her, and I like her eyebrows. :wink:

But I really like Mio's looks, her personality, her voice, and her rock guitarist knowledge. Mio gets bonus points for playing the bass, singing vocals, and being left handed (like Paul McCartney).

Also for the KyoAni conspiracy theorists:
Spoiler :
Before being drafted by Ritsu into the about to be suspended (since all the members graduated) Light Music Club, Mio was about to join the Literature Club. In The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Haruhi essentially takes over the about to be suspended (since all the members graduated) Literature Club (although first new member Yuki essentially stopped its suspension) and drafts Kyon to join.

And both Tsumugi and Mikuru were encouraged to switch clubs at the behest of their respective presidents.


At any rate, this show looks quite promising.

Mio's cool. Can't wait for deh h-doujins...

She's got that miko look going on. [long dark hair etc.]

KyoAni's being doing nothing but school anime lately. [literally... nothing... BUT that...]

I wonder when they'd sink back into action style anime. [did a much better job than Gonzo for Full Metal Panic don't ya think?]

AnimeSuki's members got those guys beat in the fan otaku department (680 posts so far and talk of 'waifu' (post #394)).

My god, we're positively pedestrian.
