First two episodes were alright. I can tell it is going to get dramatic, but the action/sci fi element to it will, imo, negate any drama they can cook up. I'd be way more interested in the story if it was down to Earth and it was about them trying to become professional.

The op I could care less for. It isn't bad, but I don't think it fits the show, especially since it supposedly has a strong rock influence. Both ed weren't bad, however the character does not match the voice, it is way to deep.

Animation isn't bad, characters aren't bad. 'm just not really impressed with the show after the first 2 episodes.

I'm exciting with the idea of see an anime at the same time with people who are really far...

Let's start with the music. The OP and ED don't like me :P But the original soundtrack was created by Kajiura Yuki and she's one of my favorites compossers, so I like it. About the first and second eps, I really don't feel so catched... The granny is funny and I think that Yoriko looks sugoku kawaii when she was selling amulets. And the action isn't explain, so I don't really care about it yet.

Ep 3 and 4

It got a little better, especially for the first half of 3, but then it just sunk back into being... not-so good, when they pull the most predictable stunt they ever could have. I've seen this done in so many anime.

"He is going to be a star, break up with him." Done before. Not to mention the show is predictable. The manager is on one side, his girlfriend on another, and that other singer/manager on another. Manager is interfering with him and his girlfriend, because he is the controller or leader of something. The singer is trying to break those two up for the same reasons. The girlfriend is being dragged into this. She then breaks up with him, falling into the trap, ix in some rivalry between singers, maybe the band starts to feel distanced from Kyouta... drama ensues.

And for the love of god, sing a different song.

Aquarian Age is a card game that has its own mythos and factions. The anime did a decent job explaining what is going on, but given how big the word is, it's still confusing at times. Just know everyone is fighting each other, EGO looks down on the three older factions and thinks of themselves as the vanguard, the Erasers are the aliens everyone else wants to kill off before they kill each other, and the Mindbreakers throw everything into a clusterfuck cuz they can control anybody. Everyone (but the Mindbreakers) were exclusively female (don't know why, probably more moe), though I think EGO has males now.

Overall I enjoyed the anime quite a bit, though it is hard to say enough positives to actually justify that. More than the sum of its parts I guess.

Maybe the reactions of Yoriko are the most important event at this point. They're playing the same horrible song and Kyouta continue with a coward attitude.

And I was thinking that maybe an explanation of the war could give me some pleasure but then Rumi said "I don't know when or why it started" and now I feel hopeless...

Nine episodes and I really don't know why this anime name is "Aquarian Age", it is only about Kyouta and his relationship with several girls (is this a musical harem?)

It's sad but we see this error again and again, an anime based on a videogame that only the people who play it can enjoy...

Well, I finished. Don't know what to say... I guess the series just finish in nothing. The characters are so disgusting at the end. I don't like it.

And what about the decision of dissolve the band? It isn't their dream?

Still have the last four episodes I need to finish. Kinda stalled on it a little, but I'll try and push myself either tonight or tomorrow morning.
