Anonymous Noise

Introduction

Every day, a young girl wearing a mask stands by the beach and sings a nostalgic melody. After experiencing two sudden heart-wrenching partings when she was only a child, Nino Arisugawa has been singing her songs to the ocean, bound by a promise made with her two childhood friends—her first love, Momo Sakaki, and a boy who composed music, Kanade "Yuzu" Yuzuriha. Having never met each other, the boys both individually promised that if Nino was ever separated from them, her voice would be the beacon to reunite them once again. After six long years, destiny has finally placed Nino, Momo, and Yuzu in the same high school. However, the passage of time has changed many things in their lives—while Nino relentlessly attempts to fulfill her childhood promise with the boys, Yuzu's feelings for her from the past resurface, and Momo goes to great lengths to prevent a reunion with Nino. Through music, will they be able to mend their friendship and overcome all the feelings involved in this complicated love triangle? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

"Anonymous Noise" is a kaleidoscope of emotions, weaving a captivating tale of love, loss, and the unyielding passion for music. This anime is not just about melodies; it's a symphony of the heartstrings. The storyline immerses you into the turbulent lives of Nino, Momo, and Yuzu, three individuals bound together by fate and separated by circumstance. As they navigate the labyrinth of their emotions, the music becomes their sanctuary, their solace, and their battlefield. What sets "Anonymous Noise" apart is its raw portrayal of human vulnerability and resilience. Each character resonates with authenticity, struggling with their past, present, and the uncertain future. Nino's haunting voice echoes the pain of her loss, Momo's silence speaks volumes of his inner turmoil, and Yuzu's unwaverin…

Oh no. I was so happy watching this show in my high school days. But this is so depressing that I have watch this show again. It has potential to be great show but sadly its not. Story and Plot are rushed and it feels meaningless. Like the Direction and Phasing Story, Plot and Events in this show shoved it into your face that it loses the Mystery of the lead characters to invest in them like what happen to character or what happen to this character, it just shove it on one episode. The only interesting characters are not the Male Leads or the Female Lead, its the Side characters. Animation. 2D and 3D animation really do mix together if its done right. Props to the 3D animator who used a realistic smoke physics on the cigarettes for the adult characters. Music. It got meaning and its soo…

There might seem a bit of a contradiction in how I've rated this show. I've given it an 8/10, yet claim to have mixed feelings on 'Anonymous Noise'. I'll get to why in a little bit. First, I'll do the fun part, and talk about the show itself. That's the bit that gets the 8/10. It's honestly been something of a surprise to me, not because it was especially outside of my normal tastes (I'll always love a show about musicians), but simply because I knew people didn't talk about it much, and that suggested to me a degree of mixed reception. So, when what I got was a pretty overwhelmingly competent work, I certainly found myself pleasantly surprised. From a production standpoint, there's probably nothing mindblowing about the show, but not in a bad way. Brains Base's animation is consistent…

i don't get how people didn't like this anime. i was yelling, screaming, and getting goosebumps for 80% of it. this has easily entered my top 10 list. i seriously loved it. i was never bored with it and always wanted to know what would happen next. the characters aren;'t as predictable as they seem. nino is also very relatable (coming from an nd person) even though you'll love and hate her sometimes. don't listen to the negative reviews and honestly give it a watch. you'll probably end up liking it more than you think you will. it's like given, but straight. if you liked given, you'll like this. YUZU I'M ALWAYS ROOTING FOR YOU!!

very good anime series. most people say its trash but idk why they say that. if you're depressed after finishing the series, read the manga. so what i know: momo and nino are good friends then they separate. then yatta yatta yatta nino finds momo again the end. ok ok i know much more but i really dont wanna talk much about it. anonymous noise is a good anime series and you should watch it. when you watch or read the series, you might ship everyone with everyone, no joke, i shipped nino and her mom :/ Ok im just writing this cuz MAL wants me to write a long review

For all watchers who loves music, are musically inclined and interested in music (with a splash of romance), this will surely be loved by you. This is great and will consider it an underrated anime. I was a Team Curly hair at first but Lashes captured my heart. Imagining the entire thing happening in reality will somehow give you a relief to be be at Curly hair's side. For some reasons, Lashes was already given the impression to be the stepping stone (but of course, I wished for something more of a twist). This deserves to have a season 2. The last ep wasn't convincing enough to be the ending (even if it torments me). Frankly, it was Lashes' character and In NO Hurry's songs made me love this anime. For readers who will stumble of this review section, don't upset yourself just by figur…

STORY 5/10 The story is the weakest point of this anime, it is a story that is not simple but with inconsistencies and with very common moments. The story goes back to Nino, a student who has been singing for almost her entire life to catch up with Momo, her childhood friend of hers who moved out of town without prior notice. With all that, Nino gets on with Yuzu who teaches him the basics of singing music. Nowadays Nino must join the group that Yuzu created for her and where she will try to reach Momo more easily. It is not a bad premise, obviously it could be better but it is enough not to fail. The problem is that in many moments of the story there are very forced events or changes in the attitude of characters that do not make sense just so that the story does not stay stagnant and fol…

Anonymous Noise is an enjoyable music anime that's emotionally engaging, though some aspects of it held it back from being a masterpiece. Story-wise, I like how everyone has a motivation that determines their actions so even though they touch some tropes here and there it feels well done and makes perfect sense in context with the story. Nino, Yuzu, and Momo are decent leads who pull the story. I love their dynamic and relationships with one another. Each of them do music for a reason, and often that reason has something to do with their feelings towards each other. Speaking of which, the music of the show is great. I love it that Nino isn't necessarily the best singer in the world, but nonetheless has the talent and emotional drive to pulls people in. There's always an emotional weight…

First let's talk about the main character, the main characters name is Nino Arisugawa and she want's her voice to reach a childhood friend from six years ago. If we're going to talk about my opinion on her then I would say i hate her more then i liker her but only for one reason. Nino is absolutely obsessed with having her voice reach Momo Sakaki, her childhood friend, that doesn't sound so bad but every time she sings the only thing she thinks about is Momo this and Momo that and it's honestly so annoying because even after she realized she should sing for 'in NO hurry to shout' and not just herself she goes exactly back to it and had almost no character development in the last episode. A continuation about her character development is that she completely disregarded the band up until the…

After watching the show I came to MAL and read the reviews. It seems many people disliked Fukumenkei Noise because Alice is quite annoying by always sing "la la la" in the very first episode along with the boring story, but I don't think so. There are reasons for her behaviors and it makes sense. The more you watch the show, the more you understand and will empathy with her. She's stubborn and not the kind of person who tells people she loves A and then at the last episode it turns out that she falls in love with someone else. I love Alice's personality. Everyone in this show loyal to the one they love, and I like that. About the story, it good but nothing has solved and many questions left unanswered in the last episode. That's because the story still goes on, this is not the end. I ho…

First of all, I dont usually like Shoujo, Ive watched some and thats all. Its cute, sometimes you cry, sometimes you smile, but if Im not in the mood for it I get bored. That is not how it works for Fukumenkei Noise, I really liked it, it was good, its true that Fukumenkei Noise have its problems, the first is Yuzu. Yuzu is... how can I say it? Yuzu is annoying, he is the "I love her but I cant tell her" dude, so he just treat her bad, and thats freackin annoying, its stupid, its the kind of cliche you see in romance movies. But thats it, for a first season its pretty good. Characters -Nino is cute and she wants to tell Momo she loves him since she couldnt in the past -Yuzu is... I hate him -Momo is the cold guy that the fandom loves, he have his reasons to be like this, he is a good ch…

Sometimes you just want to watch something trashy. This anime is on the same level of stupidly, obsessively, melodramatic as Ano Hana. Take one main character with no spine or emotional stability, give them an emotional crutch for a friend, and then take it away! Sit back and watch as this child grows up increasingly maladjusted and in serous need of therapy! But hey, I finished it. I give one point to the anime because it's not grossly m I e, but then I have to go and take it back again because the art just isn't that great. Don't even get me started on the MMD level of cg animate for the concert scenes, and you have one mediocre anime. At least AnoHana was pretty too look at.

Alright, so I rarely watch an anime that I don’t rate well. The reason I gave this a four is because of multiple aspects going wrong. For story, that is what keeps the show going. That is the reason I was able to finish it. Reading the summary roped me in because I like cheesy cliche romances. If you like love triangles this might be for you. Now let me tell you about the art. I’m not a fan of the style in general. Very shojo-y but that makes sense for the genre. The thing I really didn’t like was the cgi within the performance scenes. It’s just the worst. As for sound, the music was alright but half the time she was screaming and apparently that’s the only way to portray emotion while singing in this anime. Her voice is really annoying at the beginning but I guess that’s to show how she…

People didn´t like this because it was too cliched and too overdramatic. Well, I liked it because it was a music-oriented anime after all. Artists need to be sentimental and eccentric to feel inspired for their music, they aren´t ordinary people in the first place. What I didn´t like that much is that they overused the flashbacks even in the middle of a concert! I get why though, they only had like 12 episodes to show and had to include every possible content until the end. There´s still the manga ongoing so it´s a nice intro to a decent shoujo that can be liked by many.

WARNING:THIS REVIEW HAS CONTENT HARMFUL TO KIDS(so i guess that means it will be fun) Anyways, i was too hungover cause i'm too old to be drinking like the world is about to end and since it has been a little while since i watced any kind of anime i decided to pump myself full of painkillers and watch some shit....As to why i chose this particular shit i cannot tell but here we are and these are my thoughts on Anonymous Noise: The soundtrack of my worst nightmares. To kick things off AN wastes no time pushing the pedal to the metal by introducing us to a song so brutal and technical, the likes of which can only be heard from bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Lamb of God, Slipknot etc. Wanna take a guess which one i'm talking about? It isn't that hard people come on, even kids know this shi…

So after reading the summary of this anime on Amazon Prime, I was initially hooked because one I love music anime and two, shoujo anime are one of if not my favorite type of anime to watch. What pulled me in was initially the first scene with the girl we learn to be Nino singing a lovely tune on a beachside. It's a really lovely melodic tune. We learn that she is singing so she can find her childhood friend/crush. The story of this anime really was portrayed well in my personal opinion. Sure, a love triangle is a cliche of course but the characters were in my opinion so lovable that you can't help but root for each of them despite their conflicting motives. Nino is a sweet girl who really was obliviously in love with her childhood crush whom she sang with each night underneath the moon a…

Fukumenkei Noise is a show about a high school girl – Nino "Alice" Arisugawa – whose life revolves around singing. This show was a piping-hot, steaming pile of trash sitting in the summer sun. Dispersed among the pile is the paper-thin plot, a book that was so generic, well worn, and riddled with hackneyed clichés that it legitimately felt recycled. The characters here are the balled-up scraps of a starving artist’s rough drafts (the artist is starving because he has absolutely no talent or ability when it comes to writing) which failed to meet even the artist’s low, low standards. The music is a scratched CD that barely plays anymore – it’s rough and feels unfinished in places it shouldn’t (i.e. the OP and ED) and is without the level of polish I expect from a contemporary anime. Finally…

I haven't really watched a lot of music type anime, but this one was really interesting. The music was good, especially since I'm a big fan of alternative rock. The melody and lyrics were both good. To be honest I don't have any complaints on this part of the anime. The characters weren't to bad. It is also a romance so a love triangle would seem inevidable. There were funny moments among the main characters. There was also sad and caring moments. I would have liked it if they went more into the other characters storylines, but this show is only 12 episodes so its understandable. Lastly, the storyline was easy to follow. I would have liked a different ending, but thats just me. Overall it was a good anime.

This anime left me speechless, it is simply amazing. The music shoots straight into your soul and the love triangle draws you in and you feel entwined. The story doesn't let you breathe, sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting, entrapped in the emotion. This is one of the best anime I have EVER seen and I have seen many, there's just so much heart and soul in this anime. The art at first bothered me but after a while it became apart of the beauty. If a character was heart broken, you FELT IT, you felt everything, every emotion was there! This anime was so passionate and the music showed that. The music is just, I can't even explain it, I have never EVER heard something full of so much emotion and soul. It stuck with me, it reminded me of the times where I just want to scream, Nino captur…

Overall: 10/10 definitely worth giving it a chance! As plenty people say “I don’t usually write reviews” which is very true in my case but, I just had to write one for this show. The low ratings this anime was getting I felt it was necessary for me to write one. At first this anime was on my plan to watch list for months. I finally gave it a chance and within the first episode it left me with multiple feelings such as shocked, curious, confused and determined. The story was great. Not only does it teach you about life it teaches you about relationships. It’s not your typical romance where at the end boy and girl falls in love and they live happily ever after. This shows reality. You have to work hard for your goals weather it’s career or relationship wise. Throughout this anime you’ll see…
