This should be a summer anime that yuri fans will enjoy. I haven't read any of the manga but the trailer looked good in my opinion. It looks like a PS Vita game has already been announced as well.

Ehh Yuri ain't really my thing but it's being produced by Madhouse and the colors are gorgeous. So why not.

The music brought me to tears in a good way. Besides getting that yuri vibe, I'd give this one a try.

Longer trailer

Confirmed watching.

Episode 1

After watching stuff like Akame ga Kiru! or Tokyo Ghoul, I keep expecting someone to spontaneously blow up into chunks of bone and flesh and a heavy guitar riff to start up. Music is damn good.

Episode 1

One of the few series I'll be watching this season mainly because Ryssen pointed me to it.
Episode 1 was good. That OP was nice, loved the dance. Definitely finishing this.

I really think this is going to be a long yet enjoyable anime season. We have this, tokyo ghouls, sao ii for those who want, akame ga kill seems promising, and there's lots of shoujo manga adapted into anime this season, like ao haru ride, etc.

Enjoy summer 2014!

This looks like delicious yuri waiting to happen. I'm in. Let me know when the doujins start appearing!

[color=#ff69b4]I watched the first episode last night and I have to say it's very cute. Naru seem like a very good character over all with her being the shy I'm not anything type of character. I'll keep watching it as this is the type of thing I love to watch.


Also, what the hell is up with Hana last name??? That is one hell of a last name if I do say so.

Fuckin' beautiful first episode. Good music, cute characters, and lots of cherry blossom petals.

And a daily reminder.


Also, either it might be potential spoiler or probably someone already figured out and I was just too slow, though I doubt it'd cause any harm if people see this.

Okay...That OP got me hooked. Ah, gotta put this on must watch list now.

I got Vivid's release, do you have the same or did you get HS?

Vivid had it as "Fountainstand" but it says Fontainestand on MAL. Sounds less silly.

[color=#ff69b4]I had HS and they had the one thats on MAL, but It's still a pretty silly last name.

Another version from /u/

[color=#ff69b4]Episode 2
[spoil]Naru had some pretty funny parts in this episode and seeing her trying her best to get good at yosakoi and seeing her dance at the end of the episode was really nice to see, but then she fell sadly, but still good. I can't wait for more of the girls to show up and start.

Also, really loving Yaya a lot, but that maybe just me loving Tsundere's.

And dose Hana have to jump on everyone she sees? she jump on Yaya like 3 times and Naru about 2 times.

WHY MUST YAYA ALWAYS SUFFER
