I've heard about the manga for some months and then came the announcement for its adaptation into anime which seemed to take forever and a day to complete. However, finally, it made its debut earlier this month. From what I've read, "Komi-san wa, Komyu-sho desu."（古見さんは、コミュ症です。...Komi Can't Communicate） has already garnered a lot of fans from the source material alone so anticipation was very high and my curiosity was also piqued.
Even though it looks like the powers-that-be are working even harder to insure that whole episodes don't show up on YouTube, various funny excerpts are popping up like mushrooms and it looks like "Komi-san" is becoming an early favourite this season. I've enjoyed the punny names, the quicksilver fluid animation sequences from time to time, the oddball characters and the fact that the seiyuu for the nearly mute Komi-san herself, Aoi Koga（古賀葵）, voices a far more verbose anime high school girl. If I recall, even Kaguya-sama had her own issues with cellphones in one episode.
The opening theme for "Komi-san" is the pop-perky "Cinderella" by the rock band Cider Girl（サイダーガール）. This is the first time that I've heard of this group which currently consists of guitarist/vocalist Yurin, guitarist Tomo（知）, and bassist Fujimura（フジムラ）. Cider Girl got their start in 2014 and during their early indies period, they released four mini-albums before going major in 2017. Since then, Cider Girl has released five CD singles and four digital singles along with three albums (No. 4 will be coming out in December). "Cinderella" is their fourth digital single written and composed by Yurin which was released just a little over two weeks ago.
Ah, I've also written up the article on the ending theme.
