[[Anime News Network]] had five editors review the first episode of the anime:<ref name="Anima">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2018/fall/anima-yell/.137848|title=Anima Yell – The Fall 2018 Anime Preview Guide|website=[[Anime News Network]]|date=October 7, 2018|access-date=September 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190527051010/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2018/fall/anima-yell/.137848|archive-date=May 27, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Nick Creamer found the humor "too mild and one-note" to illicit any laughter and the characterization of Kohane and Arima feeling "underwritten" but gave credit to the aesthetic work of both the backgrounds and facial expressions, and the jokes having effective sound design to emphasize them; Theron Martin was mixed about Kohane's overall character, saying she can be grating at times and misinterpret things heard but admired her for having tons of enthusiasm and heart to be proactive in conquering her fears and being a motivational voice towards Arima's low self-worth as a cheerleader; James Beckett was critical of Kohane's obnoxious persistence to make friends with Arima and start a cheerleading club but felt that character quirk will be fixed in later episodes to deliver on both its slice-of-life and sports content with decent cheerleading animation and cutesy antics, saying it will be "perfectly acceptable candy-coated fluff" for its target audience; Paul Jensen agreed with Beckett's sentiments towards Kohane's overly upbeat personality being an annoyance and criticized the repetitious and over-explanation of its characters throughout the episode. The fifth reviewer, Rebecca Silverman, also echoed what both Beckett and Jensen said about Kohane but was optimistic that she'll grow up into a more tolerable character as the series continues, concluding that "In the meantime, this feels like a slightly more exciting Cute Girls Doing Cute Things show than we normally get; in fact, it may be a full-out sports show, although I'm inclined to think it'll land somewhere in the middle. The animation for the dancing looks smooth and the characters are all distinct and distinctly cute, so if you can handle Kohane's constant barrage, this episode makes it look like ''Anima Yell!'' could be very appealing."<ref name="Anima"/>
