    This one makes me wish I knew someone who I was certain would appreciate it, so I could recommend it to them.

    It looks promising, but it just didn’t have much of anything to it that specifically grabbed my attention.

      Nice to meet you :) My seasonals are already accounted for, but I’ll keep an eye on this as a possible PTW

        The pleasure’s mine :)

        It has nice art and music (very reminiscent of Ikoku Nikki) and already a fairly wide range of potentially interesting characters, with hints of lots of drama and rivalry and alliances and betrayals and possibly even some romance, all against the backdrop of a stately and well-regarded, and apparently quietly cutthroat, performing arts school. Depending on how much attention is given to character development, it could be very good.

        But it’s just not in my wheelhouse at all.

    I imagine the idea is to have these intertwining narratives across the whole story. In that case, this episode makes sense, but at the same time, shifting the focus to the backstory of another character so soon, when it doesn’t feel like we should already be done with the first one, doesn’t sit right with me. But overall, I like it. The style, colors, and the fact that it seems to be more of a character drama than something focusing on the arts are nice. This was one of the better premieres I’ve seen this season.
