| ive been into paralive for 2+ years and its so cool seeing it finally receive an anime !! the animation looks nice and its crazy seeing all the characters moving lol |
| Looks pretty. I hate the CGI. Not much rap. The DNA metal thing is a lame gimmick that doesn’t do much. Tons of characters immediately introduced. I’m interested in how the groups sound. I’m guessing the metal things have a bad side effect. Not sure if I will drop. |
Rindoukan said: Terrible impressions, already dropped it. This is what corporats think a rap anime is supposed to look like. Kpop looking ,feminine dudes, with the same style of music, that all of a sudden is classified as rap. Pacing is absolutely abysmal , introducing 10+ characters in the span of 4-5 minutes. Music is corny, the designs and premise is even more corny, not to mention generic as all hell. We're jumping from some dude showing up at school, to another having a panic attack when he sees a different dude... Please... Also I'm going to be "THAT GUY" but for one of the blackest styles of music, there's not even one black person in there , really? This shit is beyond corny , generic and terrible. 2/10 Dropped ngl you make solid points. I like the idea of a contest for money and having the biggest names in the industry compete, but the characters are what's really tainting it for me. Not gonna stop yet but it's not looking good |

| Not familiar with the franchise so obviously I am missing things but I figured it's fine to try and watch assuming there is some degree of containment of story and I am surprised seems good so far aside from it really being more on the side of pop music than "rap". |
| When I added this to my PTW list, it was just because I thought the poster art was nice. And even after watching the first episode I don't know what to expect from this... Gotta admit that was an impressive CGI. |

| Everything you said was right, but the last paragraph was really dumb and it's not even a solid argument to call a show bad. Try harder next time. |
| The people in the audience look like they're having a blast. I wish I could attend an LSD rap battle, lol. Anyway, this show looks smooth as hell! The stellar character designs, vibrant art style and fluid animation are such eye candy. The plot isn't that bad either; even though it does suffer a fair bit from the multimedia character promotion syndrome which was to be expected, I'm quite intrigued for what's to come. There's heaps of theory potential already. Speaking of theories, I assume the ending may be related to the character traumas? Most of the characters seem to be struggling with something major, so my guess is that a person isn't capable of producing illusions without having experienced something that has altered their psyche considerably – based on the short introduction of the power I'm assuming it's not something just anyone can do. Or maybe it's the mysterious venue that's causing the side effect? Guess we'll find out soon! |

| @Rindoukan bro probably immediately turned 18 and went "minors dni" |
good idea. however, perhaps poorly executed? Several things were a bit confusing in the first episode, but nothing that couldn't be explained or corrected in the next episodes. I don't like it when they abuse 3D like they're doing in this anime... every time they sing they're in 3D, that's kind of annoying |

| BAE is so good, love Allen/Suzuki the most but Anne is fun too, and the Korean prince is fun. Shiki in Cats Whiskers is 2nd Dave design after Suzaku. Need his backstory with the twins. Looking forward to the diversity the phantom rappers will be fun. BAE Fly High was my favorite thought Bang was fun too. Official video |

| exceeded my expectations to be honest. as a paradox live fan, i'm not asking for an adaptation with insane storytelling and whatnots. All I want is to see my favorite characters moving and talking and singing, and they definitely got these down. The CGI are so good I almost thought they were hand-drawn. I love how they ended the episode with BANG, which is probably the most iconic song from Paradox Live (and arguably my favorite song from them). Animation is fluid and the art is gorgeous. I have no complaint for this first episode. It's a BANGer!! |
| Masterpiece. Really love it. Looking forwards to next eps |
 [/url] |
| Amazing!! Loved BAE ❤️ We have our icon Ann, our sadistic prince Hajun and best boi Allen! ❤️🔥 Also the music is fire as always 🔥 I loved seeing all the characters moving and interacting on the screen 🥰, so much better than just hearing their voices in the drama cds. Also we already get our first traumatic experiences… Shiki my poor baby 😭. And Allen’s trap reaction 😖 The beginning was also interesting… are we going to get more AT lore? We also get more glimpses of Buraikan than ever: Yasha being name-dropped, old Haruomi, the posters, the phantometal explanation… I’m getting excited! |

| Ugh too much CGI, it made it difficult to watch it. I'm not entirely sure why I'm watching this, but it seems like it'll probably be interesting. I found out about it because of the profile badge event. That was a very flashy entrance lol The alarm clock was cute |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| Wasn't expecting too much for a music competition/growth style anime... but really reeally impressed with the animation, pacing and seiyuus. Not going to lie, the seiyuus are so damn cool. The english sounds near native. Even with the cringey lyrics, it was pretty captivating..aw crap. Is it the beginning of another oshi mix media group? I've seen a ton of trainee/idol shows in my day, but rarely am I so deep into the rabbit hole one song in. Other Wack MCs are so bullshit. Edit: definitely not hip hop in my book though lmao |
| Finally was able to start this. It was something I wanted to get to soon. It's enjoyable enough to watch. I think uh... not gonna lie, but some of the characters/aspects come off as annoying to me while others I'm vibing with. Like somehow all of the Akanyatsura crew are chill for me though I was expecting to despise Reo-- but didn't! I'm not super fond of BAE's music and was expecting to just be meh about the whole group-- and honestly I darn near almost was but wow Anne is such a refreshing character. Allen's okay-ish mostly because I appreciate how the characters around him seem to react accordingly yet uniquely enough to him. I don't like Hajun Yeon, but his interactions at least kept Allen's character rolling. So despite only actually liking one character in the group and don't like their music, I feel like the writing got them across well enough. Wasn't expecting that as much-- like I've had a taste of most of these characters from listening to SOME/parts of the dramas, but I guess seeing them animated is a whole different thing. Meh, I'm not about to rant about every group. But overall not a bad start! The performance itself wasn't bad either! |
| Everybody let it BANG! Seems like nice music with some dark story behind. What I really like is that they are actually changing clothes (rare type of anime xd). |
   |
| Have been following Paradox Live since it first came out and was really looking forward to the anime mostly to understand their phantometal concept and everyone's trauma cuz I didn't follow their drama CDs that well. I liked the animation and the cgi actually looks pretty good than expected. I can finally understand the characteristics of all the characters now that they are animated. Really excited to see them perform the old songs. But I wish BAE sang the full version of BaNG!! Anne's solo part is the best part of the song. |

| strongest anime elitist💀: @Rindoukan |
| got into this almost blond. expecting something like hypmic just because it looks like hypmic and i kinda like it? music is fun enough and it looks good enough to keep me watching. even though i admit i don't get much of the plot and there's too many people to get to know in one episode. i'll keep watching because although it has potential to not be good, it doesn't look it's gonna be bad. (i like pretty boys in anime. a lot.) |
  |
| the animation is so good and the cgi is actually really good too, idk if im the biggest fan of BAE's music but i definitely love anne so far |
| in what world is that first song considered as hiphop |
| (\ (\ („• ֊ •„) ♡ my candies ♡ ━O━O━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━       |
| Bleeehhhh i don't like that guy named Hajun, annoying af so rude |
