As of episode 1, there has been been a TRUCKLOAD of images (mostly of Mio, who's far superior anyways 8-) ), and a couple of MAD videos using only the FREAKIN' first episode! I say the reception is quite good! :lol:

And now episode 2!
Spoiler :
- Roll call, courtesy of Yui! She come to a conclusion that each of the girl's personalities gets reflected on the instruments they chose. Makes sense, don't you think?
- That's right, Yui you need to BUY a freakin' guitar first in order to be part of a band, and those can be pretty pricey! Good thing her mother gave her an advance.
- Guitar shopping! But since we're dealing with Yui, she got pretty.....distracted doing other kinds of shopping. ^.^'
- Finally in the music store! And no, Yui you don't need four arms to play the air guitar. :lol:
- Looks like Yui has her eyes set on the Les Paul, but that costs a whopping 250,000 yen!
- Which means part time jobs though Mio seemed to had bad experiences with them.
- So their part-time is counting cars all day? Oh GOD that sounds boring as hell! Seems like some of the girls realized it to point they're counting other meaningless things. I guess this is what you called occupational disease, right?
- And after all that, Yui felt kind of bad in using the girls' paychecks so she decided to go for the cheaper one.
- But the Les Paul is calling out to her! That's when Tsumugi started to abuse her status and bargained for that guitar. Did you know her dad owns the store?
- And Yui finally gets the guitar of her dreams! She is now happy up to a point that she slept with it! :lol:
- Ahhh, do you know that feeling of peeling plastic off a new guitar? I heard it's similar in popping bubble wrap.
- So the lesson is DON'T unplug the electric guitar from the amplifier that's in high volume.
I find it very intriguing that Mio is actually a pretty shy girl despite that "tall, dark bishoujo" look she gives off thus her reason in choosing the bass. I think I like her even more now. Next episode, balancing being a musician and a student!

Out of curiosity for you experienced rock heads. What brand of electric guitar would you rather have Yui play with?

Man I wish moe actually COULD get a price reduced like that. Wait, it does help if the family owns the retail establishment as well :)

I suppose 4 girl based anime is more or less the same as tenchi syndrome anime. Hey, if it works, it works.

I wonder if it would work if they made it 5 girl based?
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

<= Tsumugi lover

Well, at first I was somewhat tempted to choose from the Yui/Mio duo (yes, Ritsu is underrated), but after the french fries scene (on watching it for the second time), it was clear.

Also... THE EYEBROWS! <3~

Must have in WS, complete ^^

And for the third thing - I hope I can make an ava on this PC (in Paint, hah... here we go~)

(lastly, I love how kyoAni manages to GREATLY pace the show by adding original content. hasteroth can confirm that they actually showed as much as two or three chapters of manga. Great work on that, I hope it keeps up~)

Btw, very nice study of Mio's guitar for you guitar addicts (mainly artistic one, but still):
