| Episode: | 1: (Title Unknown) |
| Synopsis | |
| (Based on watching the raw version): A concert is being held at the auditorium where Comifes takes place. No less than twelve girls of a highly popular group take turns performing, while a guy, perhaps some sort of manager, watches from offstage. Something one of the girls on stage says unnerves him and four more girls in the dressing room (backup/substitute performers, perhaps?). The guy chases down a well-dressed woman who is about to drive off; whatever it is she says, it's not good news to him. The BGM gets somber and back in the dressing room the girls are discouraged/worried; The guy tries to cheer them up ("genki"), with some success (maybe these four backup girls will be the focus of the show, despite the lengthy and elaborate introductions the usual performers got). At home, the guy is brooding over what the female executive said; a blonde girl (perhaps his little sister?) surprises him, and gives her opinions of the group. The next day, the four backup girls are eagerly awaiting the guy and enthusiastically go to work practicing. His sister(?) comes to the building and gives the female executive a piece of her mind. While walking home, the guy is entranced by the singing of a girl giving a streetcorner performance with a guitar. He introduces himself, and gives her his card--but she's not interested. | |

| It looks like this girl with a guitar will be the main female character, and the ED sequence suggests she'll fall in love with the guy. Animation seems pretty good--sharply focused and with well-chosen colors. Music seems pretty average, except the ED song, which is steadily growing on me. No panties or blatant fanservice, though a couple camera angles were a bit curious. The preview of episode 2 includes a shower scene. Without any dialogue, I can't say much more. The guy seems to behave responsibly when around cute girls, so hopefully this won't be another Love Love? style show! | |
