Dropped like a ton of bricks.
>>135773854
>P.A. Works' best work?
not a very high bar desu
>>135773854
Who knows, I'm in it for the music because it has the same guy as Tari Tari in charge.
>>135773854
Nothing will pass Shirobako.
As such, no.
>funi
Status: forsaken
I want to fuck Haruta
seeing as how shirobako is AOTD material, no I seriously doubt it
>>135773924
>being a homophobe
come on, it's [current year]
Bach is a baka
If I was the teacher I would fuck both of them and made the other one watch when they are waiting for their turn.
When will PA works go back to making stuff like HanaIro and NagiAsu?
So does all the 'mysteries' rely on heavy musical knowledge? Does this series have anything else going for it?
Should I just drop it as I know nothing about music?
>>135776417
Never? Shirobako was their most successful series.
Already better than Eupho + Hyouka.
>>135773854
It was a pretty unremarkable first episode besides the faggot revelation at the end. Also, the show looks hideous.
>>135776510
Not setting the bar high.
It's going to be basically impossible to beat this.
>>135776603
Nonsense.Just wait for season 2.
>>135776506
I've been playing music for a upwards of ten years, done music theory as well, and play instruments on multiple clefs and I didn't even know how they solved it.
>>135776655
This.
I even studied a bit of cryptography.
Maybe it's just a bad storytelling but what the fuck.
>>135776655
They read the script
>>135776506
this episode was an anime original I know. I only know the next mystery though which is finding out who is trying to poison the school but that wasnt music related.
>>135773924
i'm wondering why they didn't reverse the genders.
male and female student in a love triangle with a female teacher, while playing some music. yes please.
>>135776618
>season 2
Yeah, I'll just wait for Spice and Wolf season 3 too.

>yuri AND /ss/

>pick it up
>"Oh christ, this is such a euphonium clone that it's not even funny"
>still kind of enjoying it
>that fucking reveal at the end
I'm cautiously optimistic but this shit could honestly be great if they play it right, 100% picked up.
I should have fucking known. Fuck PA works and fuck faggots and flutes
>>135773854

It wouldn't take much to make something decent after only making shit.

>thought it was some kind of romance or sol about a music club

Dropped.

>>135777660
Watch this for the twins.
>>135777797
Posting best twin
>>135773854
Probably yes, they're copying 2 best Kyoani shows after all.
>>135777540
For me, I really grew to like the characters,
It never got dull or predicable, and it was fairly touching at times while still being funny.
It probably helps that it was a fairly interesting concept with middle aged characters. AOTY2015
I like it.
>>135777833
Posting twins.
>>135777833
My nigger. I've been longing for some honking.
>Main boy's lusting for cock
Nah, give me cute girls doing cute things, not boys looking to get ass fucked.
so it's going to be one of those shows
>>135777919
>sticking your chest out
Is this supposed to help with breathing?
>Anime talking about Bach
>BAHA BAHA BAHA BAHA BAHA BAHA BAHA BAHA
The show looks so ugly I didn't even get to the gay.
>>135773854
First episode really didn't draw me in. If anything, it made me wish for girls' volleyball anime instead.
>>135778076
everytime I watch Haikyuu I wish for that too
Im just here for the memes, how are they?
I, too, was repulsed and physically sickened by PA Works' background CGI mutants but why do people keep saying it looks bad generally? Chaika looked good enough to be a meme girl and Chika is designed by the same artist.
>>135773854
Sorry but it looks like shit from the get go.
>>135777540
baby's first SOL. Plus toxic fanbase.
>>135778203
dead eyes
>>135778179
Pretty dank.
>Haruta has a deeper voice than Sensei
this is so jarring, what the hell is with this casting
>>135778203
The CGI looks like they took their old CGI models and said let's make these look even shittier. wasn't their shirobako CG good?
>>135778076
I think it says a lot about the show when characters that only exist long enough to frame the protagonist's motivation are more interesting than the main cast.
Also the one who looked to be the team captain was a fucking qt.
>>135778179
I'm not here for the memes, but I made the one where it says PANTSU on her shirt
>>135778211
>baby's first SOL
>>135778112
Yeah, me too anon. Me too...
>>135778287
Nagi was like that too, and people liked the characters in the end, but then again did not look like shit.
digging the song for the OP; it has the feeling of a corny sitcom theme song.
>>135778287
Just more female sports series in general would be nice. Broship sports is alright, but I want to see some sisterly skinship too.
>>135778312
I mean Haikyuu is great and all but I just wish we had more actual girl sports shows.
>>135773854
>PA Works
>not Uchouten Kazoku
Wow I didn't even need to download it to know that it's gonna be shit
That's a no
>>135778286
Shirobako CG was mostly vehicles. I can't remember if background people ever weren't drawn. Uchouten Kazoku people often say looks good but it did have tons of shambling deformed CGI freaks in every busy street scene.
Best girl.
>>135778211
>baby's first SOL
babby's first swing and miss
>>135778372
You have sports mahjong, idols, card games, and airsoft.
>>135778533
You forgot tanks.
gayyy
>>135777423
It's nice to see a bishie that's actually canonly gay instead of merely gay looking but is obviously swimming in his own baby batter for the FeMC.
>>135778461
She sounded just like that exorcist girl from Monogatari.
>>135777950
CGDCT is old and busted. CBLFC is the new hotness now. Grow up.
>>135778282
Sensei should stay as a supporting character. I hate Natsuki Hanae so fucking much.
>>135778243
oh this is perfect
>>135778635
He's cute though so I'll allow it.
>>135778282
Is it just me or does he look like a snake in the grass?
Ending was gay, dropped
>>135778847
Fag. Not even the good kind like Haruta.
>>135777540
>I mean, it was nice and all, but i don't understand why all the praise.
Manage to have an extensive, mostly likable huge cast which is really hard to nail
>>135773924
why didn't the Faggot play the damm Fagot in the first place?!
>>135778889
cause he likes fisting
>>135778871
Are you saying that the ending wasn't gay? How can it be more gay then gay?
I didn't like it at all. What do you people see in it?
>>135778533
>You have sports mahjong, idols, card games, and airsoft.
REAL sports
Like fucking girls' gymnastics. How are they having trouble green lightning that?
>>135778918
No, of course it's gay. You're a fag for not at least giving it two more chances.
>>135778954
Don't be a creep dude.
>>135776507
I don't think it was-
>>135778949
Haruta is hands down fuccboi of the season and the season hasn't even started yet. Trust me, I'm an expert at these things.
>>135778972
>Hurr, I've only tasted shit one time and it tasted like shit. But i gotta eat it two more times durr

Are you okay? Do you need to be checked into a retard institution? Like the one in [too soon]? It sounds like you have issues that need to be resolved.

I dunno man Prince of Stride is loaded.
>I have something I want to show you sensei
FUCKING FAGGOT
There is no H in music, only G# or Ab.
>>135777660
Are Funi retarded? A bass tuba is not a euphonium.
>>135779093
I can definitely say that no matter how terrible this show may get, Haruta's quality will either remain stagnant or vastly improve.
Who were the twins voiced by?
>>135779126

Wait till you see the boy who is made for sax.
>>135779519
Its winter season, so not in another three months
>>135779519
IBO is a welcomed addition to the Gundam franchise and is probably one of the best gundam in years.

>>135779550
You got a problem with winter seasons, Anon?
>>135777540
flawless production and presentation (not that it was mind-blowing quality or anything, but it had no flaws)
large cast of likeable characters, most of which had an arc
drama was tense but not overly so
absolutely inspired direction (pic related, scene where director was "flying", scene where the little mascot characters were explaining what goes into designing a character)
extremely satisfying ending that leaves room for a sequel but is just fine if the loose ends are never tied up
it was just great through and through
The title is HaruChika, does the boy stop being gay?
>>135779677
Its too cold, I wish I have a thermos with unlimited cocoa
Main girl sucks.
I wonder if Haruta can carry this show on his own.
>>135779688
The title is Haruta to Chika wa seishun suru, so no, probably not.
>>135779327
Based Honk doesn't play the fake euph, only clarinet.
>>135779719
i too wish for unlimited cocoa
>>135779435
What lewd thing would you like to do to him? I'm personally a forcibly pissing type but anything goes.
>>135779435
Too smug.

>Joukamachi
I miss this show
when is that drummer boy in the credits showing up?
>>135780114
>drummer boy
But he's a percussionist
>>135776655
He figured it out because Haru was the one who wrote it in the first place. So why did he go through the whole act of pretending to "solve" it? Just so he can confess to the teacher without actually confessing? What a tedious roundabout thing to do. I almost would prefer if it was just the cliche plot gimmick of bottling up his feelings (I'm looking at you Kyon in Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan)
The list of reasons to drop this show was long enough without even getting to the whole "I'm gay" reveal. Which shouldn't bother anyone because it's the 21st fucking century and only faggots are homophobes.
>>135778003
All the girls in this show have big tits. Over-compensating for the gay I suppose. But posture kind of does help with breathing.
BOYPUSSY
>>135780879
The thing is they were "childhood friends" being surprised that someone you've known all your life is gay seems fairly reasonable.
>>135780883
How hot and soaking wet does it get when he so much as stares at sensei?
>>135773854
Their best show is still Angel Beats, in before shitobako hipsters bawwwwww
>>135781015
>>135780989
They hadn't seen each other long enough for Chika to not recognize him.
>>135781040
Not that this is an achievement or anything. AB and Shirbako are both 7/10's.
>>135781040
Everyone knows their best work is Tari Tari.
>>135781368
I don't even remember what they trying to do
>>135781476
literally the good version of Love Live
>>135781040
>Their best show is still Angel Beats
I know this can't be true, but It's hard to think of much else they did that I'd consider better. P.A. Works really has produced a lot of shit.
Regardless, I should really get around to watching Shirobako and Charlotte.
this show actually does remind of Hyouka
in the way that the first episode made me fall asleep
Huh, this show looks promising, though the first mystery was pretty boring. Teacher seems kind of suspicious. The MCs are cute and having a gay boy is interesting. Hopefully future mysteries are better.
I was expecting comfy thread but if it starts to be popular it's going to be shitted by haters.
Fuck.
>>135781781
Such is the way of any show that has even a speck of positive feedback.
>Title is Haru - Chika
>Haru ain't hot for Chika nor viceversa
>Dude's gay and want's to be fucked by the teacher instead of nailing Chika
>Chika'll probably end up sucking the sax guy's cock..
I've always hated P.A. Works and I also hate music-themed series but I thought I'd give it a chance.
Way to screw it up since the beginning. I guess I'll never break my standards again.
HaruChika? More like HomoChika amirite
>>135774034
Uchouten Kazoku was their best work.
>>135783241
It wasOMOSHIROOOOOKU
I like the MC but I feel like they went too far with the eyes.
>>135783296
I like them. They remind me or Prisma Illya. You're taste is just shit.
>>135783296
I think it's beautiful but a bit distracting.
>>135783180
Worst : he wants to NTR her.
>>135773854
Homu was a surprisingly fun character but homo was a bit disappointing. I expected him to be the more interesting character of the two.
>>135783404
It's not NTR if none of them is in a relationship with the teacher.
>>135783180
>rage comic garbage

The eyes are the only reason I started watching the show.
>>135773854

>>135785280
Did you miss the futanari thread earlier this week? It's hardly a secret how much /a/ loves dicks.

What the fuck are you doing?
>>135780879
>come on, we need to be more inclusive! It's current year!
fuck off
>>135785537
Its not even that, its just about being a fucking retard. If you drop a show for the plain fact that theres a queer in it then you're just a flat out dumb cunt. Acceptance and inclusiveness doesn't even come into it.
>>135785384
being gay ≠ liking dicks
>>135785630
I can actually understand the MALfags who dropped it because there's no room for romance between the MCs due to one of them being gay, but yeah, people who dropped it literally just because the kid is a fag seem a bit insecure.
>>135773924
Why the girls wasn't gay?
that will be more awesome
>>135773924
You do know Chika's going to convert Haruta to the V, right?
>>135773924
>not being hyped for the femdom doujins with Chika 'practicing' with Haruta
>>135779898
Don't use a pic of yuri girl in your het delusion
Biggest disappointment of the season so far. Expected better from PA Works, but guess, they are still far from KyoAni level where they can produce consistent quality shows every time.
Glasslip looked better.

He wasn't the culprit
>the reveal at the end
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>135786378
PA Works take on Hyouka! Euphonium, or at least standard quality PA Works drama show
What i got was subpar quality "we dont give a fuck about production" show.
>>135786542
Wait a minute I thought the detective isn't allowed to be the culprit according to mystery laws. Have they no shame?
>>135780879
>>135786542
I don't know why people keep thinking he was the one who wrote the shit on the chalkboard. Were you even paying attention?
>>135781368
Good taste.
>What if we rip off two best anime of the decade, hyouka and eupho, but make it /y/ instead of /u/?
>GENIUS! FUND IT
>>135786612
But he was. That's why he was playing the song at the end. He just made up the other thing
>>135786739
>>135786916
Its Kadokawa deciding to score on Hyouka, and adapting another similar mystery novel. Also, according to its reviews - the novel is actually not bad.
Its just PA Works execution and direction that suck.
>>135786941
>the novel will never be translated
This is of second cummings of True Tears!
Hotaru is chicken lover so he is Noe! He is win!!
>>135777540
It's basically just an extremely solid show all-around. It didn't have anything that was record-breaking, but it managed to nail most of the things it set out to do perfectly and didn't have any major glaring faults. In essence, it's good in the same sense as FMA is.
>character design by Namaniku ATK
I'm already 100% hooked, I don't care how bad this possibly turns out but I don't think I'll drop it. Thanks for the Chaika eyes, ATK.
And it's good to be able to use this image so soon already.
So I just watched the first episode and my eyes are bleeding. What the heck is up with those shitty washed out colors and weird eyes? Also, the premise doesn't look that promising, especially considering nothing about the mystery was nicely done. The characters were acting so casual about it they didn't make me want to know who did this, the solving process was absolutely ridiculous and in the end, I didn't give a fuck about it. Give me Hyouka back.
>>135787287
>nothing record-breaking
Nigga, it's the first show about making anime, and it got a very extensive set of characters that are all realistic, different, and memorable. This is, in itself, quite record-breaking.
>>135786133
I'd honestly take PA's inconsistency over the consistency KyoAni shows have had in the past years.
>>135787390
>shitty washed out colors
funi
>>135786739
Why indeed, this sounds like the perfect recipe for good sales.
HanaIro will always remain the best.
Shirobako is okay too I guess.
Every other answer is pleb-tier.
Okay, seriously though senpai.
What the FUCK were they thinking when they cast the VA for the teacher? I've never heard a voice so unfitting to a character in my entire life.
>There will be never a doujin where Cute Tomboy MC reverse rapes Fuckboy Childhood friend while the teacher watches
>>135787418
Even if it's Funi, it's never THAT washed out usually. Design and color-wise, this whole shit looks completely artificial and soulless. I hated the first episode but I'd take the designs and colors of KyoAni's shitty new show over this anyday.
>>135778290
ok, picked up
Neat. Chika's seiyuu was also in Chaika as the red team sniper.
>you will never have a cute fuccboi and tomboy lusting after your dick
Might as well kill ourselves now.
>>135788141
that delicious brown girl with the braids?
How tall is Haruta again?
>>135788733
Tall enough to give a blowjob while standing.
Does anyone else think the eyes in this show are shit?
Also dropped because of the faggot in the end.
>>135788807
>Also dropped because of the faggot in the end.

Please let this be a misunderstanding. Please.
>>135789020
the guy is actually a girl.
not even joking. volume 3 of the LN.
>>135773854
Fuck no. It's ugly as hell, animation is shit and it plain boring. Mystery was horrible, music was a montage and the leads are annoying and paper thin. They made a completely bland male MC but the tweest is that he's ACTUALLY a faggot. Sasuga anime.
>>135789048
Bait/10. It's not even an LN, it's just a novel series.
>>135789020
He still likes the teacher 5 novels in.
Oh hi there Ritsu reference.
>>135779959
Was it bland good, or good good?
>>135789020
He'll probably be cured in the end but the show is shit anyway so who cares
>>135785656
Why did you kill Rorschach?
>>135789020
I don't even get the point of making the guy a fag and setting up a love triangle. Holy shit please.
>>135789082
Damn it all to hell, and here I was thinking we might actually witness the nowadays unthinkable.
Guess hoping for >>135789168 to make it different from the novels is the only hope left.
>>135787390
>the solving process was absolutely ridiculous and in the end
This show tried to be so many things but failed at everything. Unrelated but Hanae sounds like shit as the teacher. Like he doesn't even know what to do in this show.
>>135787457
I somehow doubt this will sell well. It even looks horrible.
>>135789230
Because the author wanted to. Maybe he wanted a way for them to be friends with no romantic tension.
>>135789230
Because randomly making a character gay is an easy way to generate some temporary discussion without actually making the character or show interesting.
>>135773854
>someone draws something on the blackboard
Why am I supposed to fucking care
>the mcs monologue every single thing about themselves
Lazy LN tier writing
>let's play music in a montage for a bit to fill the quota since this is a music anime

Easily one of their worst
Hetbait
Ohys-raws + Senketsu subs or HS?
>>135790312
Maybe the former.
I heard bad things about the latter.
>>135790312
Always raw/ass files for HS releases with hardcoded subs for me
>>135779431
Okada is busy with Kiznaiver and now probably working for Mayoiga.
Her catchphrase is my favorite new gimmick
The real story of the show is, that Chika is dieing. She has genetical illness, making her suffer from higher metabolism rate and aging of immune system. Manifesting on outside as pale skin, and corrupted Irises of the eyesballs.
Until the last episode, Haru fails to figure out the biggest riddle - that she dies.
>>135790312
Senketsu, since they're just OCR'd funi subs anyway. Funi video looks like bitstarved garbage
>>135790627
>HS release is bigger
>has worse bit-rate
>MUSIC
>MYSTERY
>AND A LOVE TRIANGLE
My fucking god. Did they not have enough shit to cram into a series?
At least Chika and the fuckboy are both cute.
>>135790740
>implying there is going to be a love triangle
They were just fucking with everyone.
>>135785966
Her flute is going to go places
>>135790829
It is a love triangle in the novels, but it's not the focus. The focus is on mysteries.
>>135785280
Is not gay if you are the top.
>>135790829
