| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, a little weather isn't going to stop these bands. I'm kinda glad Afterglow is getting more screen time tbh. An underrated band if you ask me. We even got to know a little more about their past. This festival's performance turned out to be fun. |
 |
| Afterglow's my favourite band so I'm glad we got this episode. They've got a great bond together and great songs. Middle school Tomoe pulls off short hair really well. Looks like the rest of RAS were finally shown, I'm interested in seeing how they will form. |
  |
| That was a Himarific and Tsugurific episode. xD Afterglow has been my favorite since I started playing the game. They've got such a nice dynamic between each and you can really feel that they're close friends. :) Little sad they translated Himari's 'Hey! Hey! Oh' into 'Hip!Hip! Hooray!'. I really want to see an Azu no Yozora Shoukaihan performance from Afterglow, though I guess the chances for that are pretty low but given that Poppipa did Sorairo Days, it might not be 0%. xD RAS next episode? |

Lelouch0202 said: I really want to see an Azu no Yozora Shoukaihan performance Same. Like, really badly. This episode was... good? It's hard to stay objective when I'm, y'know, a huge Afterglow fan, because on the one hand I feel they didn't get the spotlight they deserved, but on the other hand, TAIKO TOMOE  Ever since HaroHapi's episode 2 weeks ago, I've kinda been hoping every band got that same treatment. Push PoPiPa aside for a brief 10 minutes and put someone else up front, for fanservice at worst and group dynamic building at best. HaroHapi's episode did it well IMO, and while last week's was kinda weak (also IMO), they did that well too. While this episode was good, it seems they didn't follow that, and strung it back to PoPiPa in anticipation of their self-sponsored live. I'm slightly disappointed, but I shouldn't be looking a gift horse in the mouth. While it would have been nice to get ~20 minutes of Afterglow and two fresh songs (THEY MENTIONED HEY-DAY BUT DIDNT PERFORM IT), it seems they were reduced to plot development. Which makes sense, seeing as PoPiPa are the main characters and all. I'm sure I'll think back to this episode later and not be as salty, but for now, it just kinda stings man. I'm glad I got to see my favorite band animated, but it feels they took back seat here. And with the season now halfway over, the focus will most likely shift away from the other bands and focus on PoPiPa's live, and more importantly, From a plot perspective, good episode. From an Afterglow fan, Where's Hey-Day Capriccio?! ...at least we got Moca being Moca. Quick side notes: My whole "we either get one full song or two half length songs" was thrown out the window, unless you count the last few seconds of "That is How I Roll" at the beginning and the last part of "Happy Party" as one half song. I don't hate Y.O.L.O., but it was an interesting choice to have that be (basically) the one song this episode, breaking our streak. Also interesting is how they showed the title card of "You Only Live Once!" at the beginning of the episode, whereas they usually flash it right before the titular song starts playing. I wonder if that has any significance. |

| I'm really loving the focus on other bands! |
 |
| Seeing short hair Tomoe is as much as a blessing as seeing kid Ran from the last Christmas event in Bandori Girls Band Party! now that we're done with introducing all the bands I hope to see all the bands interact like they do in the game along with the new stories that will be taking place, like Tae's relationship with that girl that showed up in the last bit of the episode. |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| That was a pretty decent episode, we got to listen to some good music as well. Thankfully the rain didn't spoil the festival, still would have be a pain though to move all the equipment back and forth. That girl at the end knows who Tae is, they seem pretty close in the preview, guess they have known each other for a long time. |

| Yes more sukeban please. |
 |
why is she so cute?  |
 |
| Kinda boring episode but Afterglow was really good. They kind of have an indie-pop thing going. |
| KYAAA!! OMG! Mitake Ran is so cool! great performance by Afterglow! 5/5. |
 |
| I'm so happy that they choose Y. O. L. O!! For their performance. It's one of my favourite song from afterglow :) |
     |
| Afterglow is alright. Since I don't play the game I know zero about them. I kinda don't like Ran. She seems a bit high ho for me. |
| Afterglow band is good, they look more agressive though, it was a fine episode. |
 |
| Afterglow is a really good band. I like their music. And that's some serious effort they did manually carrying all those equipment. |
| Not so interesting episode, but Afterglow's performance was nice. Rokka is still so cute. <3 |
