Hmm, it looks alright. The premise looks fine too with the character designs. Curious to see how this will be adapted. The music part is something I'm pretty interested in tbh.

I'm a little concerned the plot sounds nearly identical to K-ON!, I'm hoping this won't be a snow clone series. I really did like K-ON but I don't need to see it in disguise of another story and series. Still I'm giving this a shot it might be fun. Kazuki reminds me of me just a little, I started in the band in middle school as a trumpet player and switched to trombone a little later.

Looks beautiful, but the plot sounds boring and samey. Like the posts above, sounds like K-ON.

While the synopsis is a classic (read: average) Slice-of-Life that has been used quite often, the settings of the story touch on a relatively unexplored area (brass instruments in a Music Club). Also, Kyoto Animation's art style in recent years is full of vibrant, vivid colours, smooth animations and solid visuals (color-contrast, brightness-of-frame, etc).
I'll check this out.

Pretty much this. I just hope it doesn't have drama that's cringeworthy. Because it sounds that it could have that.

I'm not too worried. Seems like it will have more of a focus on music than K-On did. Not sold on the composer tho...only liked a small portion of his songs in Kawai and Glasslip OSTs. To his defense though, it was one of the only two things that was good about Glasslip

Hmn, this is probably just me, but the plot reminded a little of Free!; like, the whole "I hurt my bff's feelings in elementary school and now i'm afraid to do what i like" thing and all. Anyways, it sounds ok to me, but i'll wait another PV to decide if I will watch this or not.

I think they would do better making a series with a male cast, but their funeral.

Not much plot, the character designs are lovely and the magic of Kyoani will make them even lovelier, and the music will certainly be great. It'll be successful if Kyoani markets it anywhere near K-ON levels or at least halfway to K-ON levels.

Meh. Beyond sounding just like K-ON! (surprise, surprise), it does not breed a whole lot of interest. Still might check it out, though hopefully it will not wear out its welcome as quickly as the aforementioned did, personally.

Honestly, even though I'm not hankering for any "cute guy" type of series, I think such a show with a male cast would have been more interesting to see, by virtue of not generating that "retread" feeling with the "cute girls", alone.

This is what I was thinking. The summary itself reminded me a bit more of Free! than K-On. Still early though...

It's been a long time since I've seen kyoani announce something that actually intrested me...too bad I'll still have to wait. (though to be fair I haven't seen free all the way yet which I heard was actually pretty good.)

Damn, it IS a genderbent Free! I already read five genderbent fan fics but I like the character designs too much to not try it out. Shocked

Eh, I would like KyoAni to do another action anime; more like Full Metal Panic and less like Beyond the Boundary.

So I am literally the only one who doesn't want to watch this because this type of music doesn't appeal to him in the slightest?
