Are any of these shows based on Manga Time Kirara stuff? Basically none of them sound interesting to me... didn't think I'd be the one to write that.

I'll keep up with Aikatsu Friends and PriChan, and at least check out the Fruits Basket remake.
Maybe that Koto music club thing?
A couple of the shorts?

It's April 1st in Japan so I'm wary of all news today

That one's probably fake, but they've also got another announcement tomorrow.

Senryuu Girl was cute and pretty on a technical level, but first episode had me bored all the way through.

New Fruits Basket is very solid. Hitori Bocchi is also good.

For a music club (sports) anime, Koto Oto Tomare! hosed up pretty badly, they did not play the drat instrument at all in the first episode. And does not have the decency to use the koto in the OP or ED songs either.

That's by design to instead focus on the character drama. Second episode should have narrative reasons for diegetic koto music unless they majorly gently caress it up.

I'm mentally comparing it to the Kabukibu anime a while back, and that one had a great enthusiastic MC doing kabuki poo poo all the time, right from the get-go. I get that they want to get some character drama going, but at least show me the MC dude cares a bit about the instrument and music he's supposedly playing, like have him hum a tune or play air koto during a bit of down time or something.

Edit: If you're making an anime about a music club, put some music-appropriate content in it. Otherwise it may as well be the tea club.

the 2nd kono oto tomare ep wasnt any better than the first

Hey we actually heard them play the instrument!
But it's all very dry and spends too much time on dumb things. Giving it a third ep still, but it's close to being a drop from me.

I'm somehow still watching Kono oto tomare, episode 4 is finally all about the instruments and the music and is so much better for it. All in all the anime is not very well directed, it seems to spend too much time on all the wrong things, but I'm sticking with it for now just because it's about a traditional musical instrument.

Kono Oto Tonare never really stops with the adversity train does it? I wonder how they'll bring the viewers around to new girl considering that she's one of the main characters in the OP.

Is that why the show has that name? Everyone wants to stop their sounds.

This is not a music or sports anime, it's a battle shounen.

Huh, makes me wonder how many anime series cover the whole of a character's HS years (with that being the main focus, no timeskips or anything).

Azumanga Daioh, but I don't have any good pictures from it right now.

Nice! I didn’t think it was that successful.

When it's coming that soon after it's not a product of the success of the first season, it was planned all along.
