Review of Listeners

- [ ] If you watch this thinking it’s going to poke at your love for music, or if you hope it’s going to have a wonderful message as the undertone throughout the whole season, you will finish it with a bad taste in your mouth. Keep an open mind with this anime, and don’t cling yourself to the lame references it makes. The anime has an iffy slow start, but does a good job at keeping a steady pace from start to finish. To really enjoy this anime, you need to ignore its many references to generic artists and understand that it’s just one ofthe many elements comprising the anime. It’s a story about a world and its people after a near cataclysmic event took place. You meet many interesting characters while watching this anime, and see how they live in the after math.

I won’t pretend I though about quitting this anime after the first episode, but I’m glad I stuck it through. You need to watch it with an open mind, and do not give it strict expectations.
Make sure you stick around after the credits on each episode as well, or the story will seem like it has holes that aren’t really there.
All that being said, this is just my strong opinion. If you choose to let the bad reviews keep this off your watch list, or if you let them give you a negative and closed mindset when watching, that’s up to you.
Solid anime, decent story, no annoying catch phrases or signature laughs, I’d watch it again.
