That was a nice jam session and they formed a band finally. So glad they broke their only rule at the end of the episode curse with passion.

I like the OP (and BAND-MAID in general), but the "collaborations" between the two characters seem a bit lame and the internal monologue is cringy. Hopefully things will sound more interesting when the band gets more members. I think I'll at least moderately enjoy it. No issues with it visually. The blonde twintails that come out a metre on each side are dumb though.

CG is still CG even if it's mocapped, by the way, in the same way that using mocap for animations in games doesn't make the graphics not game graphics. Many 3D animated movies use mocap.

Dear yuri gods please let there be yuri. Yuri is good for the body. I'm willing to sacrifice an edgy virgin from the comments here that hates homosexuality with all his closeted furry just...just do it! I'm fine with the strong bait too. No sacrifice in this case however.

Anyway, the comedy is great. Anyone who spent 5 minutes in or around some bands knows the abusive band leader type. When there are two I imagine things frequently descent into a shouting match. The tsun tsun MC is great for this. I can't wait for the other 2 members personalities to be revealed.

What I always fear in a band anime is that the music would be shit. I know it is a creatively VERY hard and probably expensive thing to do, to record an actually good piece of music for a show, especially in this format when a new song appears in almost every episode, yet for now... I remain skeptical. I'm not a fan of math rock, and maybe there are limits, narratively, with there being just 2 instruments for now, for how this sounds at the moment, but I remain positive and receptive on how it will all sound with the full band. No vocals tho, sadly. Anyway, I hope they will win me over completely.

PS: I much prefer the motracked CGI than to see people drawn to play pretend. While you might get away with it on the guitar(strumming and precise chords are hard to see anyway), the drums large range of motion make it absolutely obvious when the hit doesn't connect at the right time and place. And it's not that bad at all, it's just that... anime girls move without inertia and weight(apart for when plot demands gainax physics), but mocap captures this and makes it look... strange. Give it a year or two for someone to figure out cell shading to perfection and off we go.

One thing I'm not that hot about is the origin sob story of the MC. Makes it sound like the mother roped her now-husband into marriage through trickery and the MC has to make amends now somehow. It could be done less stupid. The imoto hate would be enought.

The girls are still thriving in this episode. It looks like Lilisa even when not being a proper lady is somehow failing upwards. Quite a hilarious episode especially the ending where they promised not to trash talk each other, I knew instantly that wasn't going to last. Also looks like next episodes dealing with Lilisa's step sister, some drama is about to go down.

Best way I could put this is that this episode is kinda like the equivalent of S2 E20 of K-ON for this lol.

Which btw, both of these were both fucking fantastic. Can't wait to see the rest of the gang join the band soon though.

I like the dynamics of their relationship, however, i think that the cgi takes away from the experience, and Otoha is not a great character.

Her pocket money is not bad: a rig (probably a Yamaha, not a cheap one) with iron, several guitars in the cupboard, including a PRS with a huge Marshall cabinet and a JCM 800 or 900 tube head. She spent at least 10K dollars of pocket money there.

Please my twintail rock lady, kick her ass the way only you can. The rock is a way for them to vent, so it's a healthy exercise to let the frustration flow. Just a matter now of the twintail lady taking the reins of this gathering. Even tho she is being dragged into another collaborative session.

The score for this show should really be higher 😔 the music is fairly solid.

YES. That 4:37 moment is seared into my brain for eternity. Music revenge!

Being forced to give up anime/manga 😔 criminal. Other kids just aren't as cool as my twintail rock lady. Let that guitar drown those drums out 👏 ecstacy in music

Suppose at the end of the day these two are loving it. Screw the vases, the sound breaks all of that. And they're now in sync with roasting each other XD frenemies now. How they find enough people for a rock band is a whole different issue

W to my athletic twintail lady. The rock is invading every corner of her dignified life. And W to putting a leash on the drummer's mouth. Massive W... uh.. nevermind XD

Otoha's longing for the collab with Lilisa just fires the latter even more, not just from her upbringing as a fine noble from her mother's end, but also a musician from her father's end, it's all coming together on this fiery music battle as limits are pushed, buttons are pressed and emotions unleashed on the fly. At the very least, despite their back-and-forth arguments, they are of the same mind...to want to start a band together.

Naturally, the other girls seeing both of them being close towards one another draws more attention, though seeing the new side of Lilisa...just gives her more attention instead amidst her musical persona, which everyone accepts it WAY better than her ladylike appearance. And since the old unused schoolhouse is the perfect place for their band formation, Lilisa takes the matter seriously before Otoha (though she's still in her rather carefree state), aiming for Japan's biggest rock concert of Fuji Rock Festival, while still maintaining her standard to become the Noble Maiden to prove to her stuck-up noble family and her mother.

Lilisa's "younger sister" Arisa is here, and what will she make do of the "false" sister?

Too bad that the never-ending cusses will still lament between the two lols...

Even the instruments took life and argued, lol


It's getting more and more amusing how Lilila's real nature is slipping more and more in front of other adoring students even if they still look to naive to get a clue (sports, english, painting...)

Would be actually surprised if they actually stay a singer-less band. "No more insults after gigs!" (*one hour later... yeah, that's status quo that should never change for the greater good of the series)

Not sure for now what to think of the possible sub-plot of the step-sister. But damn, this show is doing great for now.
(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally)

I'm glad I waited to binge the first 3 episodes. This show is just plain awesome.

There's actual music! Great voice work, music, performance sequences, and animation quality. They didn't even skimp on that one-off badminton smash.

So Lilisa has a complicated past. I am guessing her father was a musician but passed away and then her mother married a rich guy? So now she's trying extra hard to "fit" in? Insane.

What is with that chain scene? Is this confirmed Yuri because it feels like it's heading there?

What I am confused about is that if proper decorum and pedigree is so important for the new family, why did the step-dad even marry the mother of twintails in the first place? Wouldn't it bring "shame" to them to marry a common person? Why is the mother wearing what looks like the same cheap clothes from before marrying into wealth? Maybe an explanation is coming but it may also just be a contrivance to get the story started and it not making sense is supposed to be brushed off.

Ignoring this though, this anime is a solid 7/10 show so far and I suspect will stay there. In the end its a standard high school band trying to get big while facing adversity plot and it does the job telling the story well enough.

Lilisa finally losing herself in playing guitar was intense, LOL.

From the anime, it doesn't look that crazy when they're playing.

But then you realize that the music and movement is still going while the sweat drops in the air is going in slow motion. And then at the end, the rose glass literally shattered from the air pressure/ vibration given off by their playing.

.

And more Engrish, LOL, so cute, I wanna hug her.

Tho... with her losing herself... she's leaking out her true self everywhere, LOL.

Good thing is that people already think she's a talented lady, so her actions will all be viewed in a positive light and not "SUS".

.

Also... a lyric-less band? huh... could be interesting, as some OST-only songs are still made and used in some album/ tracks and as background music in some places. However, every Album/ track will always have at least 1-2 actual lyric songs... there are rarely OST-only Albums that can make it to the top of music industry.

.

And the Imouto... I can see why she's angy at twintail. I mean... she's right, the twintail literally just appear into her house and starts to get all the upperclass treatement. So OFC you would be wary of her.

Tho the hatred seems to be a bit sudden, usually you would try and talk to each other first before deciding if you like or don't like the other person... from here, it seemed like twiltail and imouto never actually talked to each other before...

You knew that that one rule they made was NOT gonna be followed before she mentioned what it even was, and it shouldn't be any other way. They NEED an outlet for being lady-like all day. Heck I wanna see that the whole school is like this, and maybe even get an episode where EVERYONE goes berserk.
