| I'm glad that jirai kei girl wasn't that bad lol. Also, I think the guy at the end was Kano's father? I really want to know what is exactly happened with their family. What a journey. Well-made animation, a lot of songs that easily made earworm and great character development. It feels kinda fell off and rushed especially near the end, but I still cried at some parts of this episode. The closing scene that looks exactly like the OP was a nice touch. Nice work, everyone! |
 |
| anime very good, maybe should be 1 or 2 more episode because the end seems a little rush (just my opinion) but i liked this anime very much. Duo Miku Itou - Rie Takahashi was so lovely to ear <3 |
| I still love this show and the ideas it's trying to convey. Though after finishing the final episode, something definitely felt missing. A few characters weren't fleshed out enough for me to exactly agree with the plot, but instead feeling a little puzzled. Like how Mero was the one to first cheer for Kano or how Kano's mom suddenly seem to care now. I understand that it could make sense, like how Mero was self-aware that she did a bad thing so she doesn't blame Kanon for lashing out at her, or if Kano's mother still always cared about Kanon aside from work, but Kanon just ran away and avoided her so she did the same. Overall, I enjoyed the anime, the characters and ideas are fun, the production was very good. But the story still felt a little messy and cut short. A bit of a shame. |
| Of all the endings they could have gone with I genuinely think this is probably the worst possible one. They don't even make the slightest attempt at resolving the conflict between Kano and her abusive mother. In the end they kinda just go "she actually wasn't that bad guys," Which she ABSOLUTLEY WAS! She only payed attention to her daughter when it was for her own personal benefit (even in the final act, she only works with JELLE when she gets something out of it), and when her daughter couldn't be an idol anymore, she essentially abandoned her (still minor) child. Mero's character arc was also totally rushed. Something was obviously planned for her, as they hinted at, but it was never actually animated. Thus, she got the same treatment as the deadbeat mom. All of this disregarding the absolute absurdity of the final arc as a whole. The fact that an idol involved in a major scandal is playing under a different name and collabing with the group she used to be in would be a pr NIGHTMARE, and I doubt any executive would ever allow it. The mom's actions also don't make much sense, and the collab's existence really should never have happened. This was either too ambitious, had producer overreach, or something crazy happen to the production to make the ending this rushed. It feels like I'm watching an entirely different show than the one that made the masterpiece of a drama that was episode 9, and the other great episodes establishing the characters. So many more loose ends were left. I am in shock that a show that was so good can end this poorly. |
 |
| I didn't think the anime would be completely finished in this final episode, but thanks Jelee it was very great ! Goodbye Sekai |
| tbh with the 12 episodes limitation they could just skip out mahiru and kano dramas and, you know, let us enjoy cute girls doing cute things. It felt rushed |
| go outside and actually farm plants. |
| Wonder why the ratings dropped sub-8. The show was pretty solid all the way to the end. |
 |
| 10/10. loved it. i will watch this with my mans |
 |
| Easily one of the best anime of the season Sub-8 rating is absolutely criminal. People wouldn't know good directing if they were clubbed in the face with it. The lighting, dynamic camera angles, creative shot composition ah. Multiple insert songs. Memorable OSTs. How well the CG was blended in. Animated dance scenes. Animation. Not just CG & stills. Unique, grounded characters that aren't just copying a template. Like most originals, there were clearly more ideas than could be fit into the runtime. One more episode really could have given better closure to some of the weaker points like Kano's Mom, the shithead childhood 'friends', and Mero. Maybe even Kano's dad. And Koharu. There was clearly more planned for her character. Really glad there are more anime being carried by the team producing it rather than lazy attempts to piggyback off adapting popular source material. |

stevejawbs said: @saikyozero Hey, as promised, I'm following up now that Girls Band Cry ended. Following the final episode, the score increased by 0.18. It ends with a overall score of 8.48. Just to remind you, Kurage ended at 7.99. It sits at 7.93 now... yikes. GG, no re ended at 8.21, actually not 7.99 |
stevejawbs said: @Cestlavie_ It definitely wasn't 8.21 lol. It was already below that after week 8, with a steady decline since then. You can check historical scores here. 7.99 was when I posted, which was one day after the final episode aired. The link above lists it was 7.98, which is close enough. I think they get the scores at the end of the week, regardless of when the episode aired within that week, so it really depends on what you define as "ended on". Anyway, what's important is that Kurage is still dropping, sitting at 7.91 from yesterday's 7.93. GBC went up by 0.01. nah it got that final episode boost since scores from those rated 3 episodes in and below are removed. |
stevejawbs said: @Cestlavie_ Could you elaborate? I actually don't know exactly how the MAL scores are calculated, so it'd be good for me to learn. Why did GBC jump up in score after the final episode, but Kurage tanked? They actually both rose for a short time. MAL has this feature For anime that have finished airing all scores from users who have seen at least 1/5 of the anime are given equal weight towards the mean and all scores from people who have seen less than 1/5 are ignored entirely. that's why almost all shows rise in score after their finale, so people that dropped the show in less than 3 episodes their score gets disregarded. |

 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I did enjoy it, but midway, I think it felt more... ordinary? Love Live, Idolm@ster, 22/7. Kinda the same formula with the usual "original" music-themed anime. I'd say, making the yuri more serious would make the series 100% better and more unique. I mean, since one of the themes is about 'being different', why not just do it? |
 |
| Nice finale. Overall, a good show. Mei is the best girl. |
 |
| Man they really speedran those plot points in the second half. Pretty cute show. |
 |
| 8/10 Kano has reconciled with her mother and former members of her old group. They were able to deliver a lovely show, and this anime ended with a bang. I love that they have affirmed that to be your true, weird self. |
| With only 1 episode left it's good they got the final battle of ultimate destiny out of the way so there's time to chill. Views, humph, views can be botted. However, Yoru has found her answer (more on this at the end)*, one that surpasses the darkness of the domicide-cheering bots. This high-budget idol extravaganza will feature a whopping 2 songs, 1 more than usual in anime concerts. Did piano hapa forget she herself invoked the power of money before? Snaggle tooth streamer is impressed that the doxing fetish thing caught on. Kano and Yoru have their contact completely cut off like a groom waiting until the main event to see the bride dressed. Yoru doesn't even have the temperament to spoilers rescue Kano later on! They didn't even have a rehearsal for Jelee so of course Kano is going to throw. "Sorry everyone, I'm washed. The stock price of blue umbrellas is going to crash-" "Listen up, legendary idol puncher! Is this the best the one who broke my cheekbone can do!? For Pete's sake if you need a reason to fight do it for the aquarium of undertones! If this is your limit I'll have you taste my own fist!!!" Young idol slaps some sense into Kano and now she can send it. Jelee did it! 10:32 - Snaggle tooth streamer just can't handle these dumb bitches while piano hapa seethes. You're right, idol. Sometimes 5D chess tsundere stonecold-face mom does have to disown a child or two for their growth. Tough love. Where are our heroes now? Yoru's sister wants in on the grifting just as probably most of her peers do. Young doxing idol visits Kano once a year, the same time the pain on her left cheek flares up. Single mom idol found her niche of a hagmaxing fanbase. Restaurant manager is still looking for a couple of goofballs to hire while drunk sister strains her tab. Snaggle tooth streamer earned a lot more subs after the idol event shilled her channel. Piano hapa met her successor; instead of fixing her piano hapa will enjoy making her worse. 18:49 - The prodigal son returns! There's no way this dumb lesbian earned enough credits to graduate without mom pulling some strings. Oh, you thought you were going to find out the deal with Kano's dad huh? Sorry but he prefers to be an enigma wrapped within a shadow, drifting along keeping an eye on your aquatic-themed murals. Is there anything left to do besides shooting some pikpoks and returning to the love hotel? Well, Yoru did learn something about art. *To really touch someone's soul you need to stretch your hand out to them. But stretching your arm out means you are at risk of people hurting you and hacking away at your arm...but it's the only way good art is produced! That's why bravery and some self esteem is needed to be an artist. People are so self conscious that it is impossible for them to create good art. They don't get hurt because they keep their hand close to their chest, but they never touch anyone either. They don't make people feel, don't make them laugh, don't really do anything at all. Art is now about the artist because the audience is scary. To be a great artist you have to desire to reach out and touch the audience but people are afraid to show any sign of sincerity. Jelee learned to be great |
| Well that ending wasn’t quite as rushed as I was expecting, episode was well paced and had quite the satisfying moments like the last JELEE performance and that whole last sequence of moments between the JELEE members while painting over the mural. But of course there were things I wasn’t that big a fan of in there as well, like Mahiru hanging with Yukine the whole show instead of her fellow JELEE members, that bad taste never quite left my mouth with her lol, and she was even happy in the end that she made the decision, yeah sure it turned out good but I ain’t about to forget that bullshit lol, a shame too because I really liked Mahiru before that. I also didn’t like how Yukine turned a new leaf right at the end, of course I knew it was coming but that doesn’t mean I gotta like it lol, she was quite mean in the past and even in the present when referring to Kano as her idol name, this good mommy shit ain’t working on me, that’s something you gotta earn back, but hey at least it made Kano happy and it was nice to see this huge plot point get resolved. But, overall I liked this finale, the ending wasn’t much of an ending but that’s typical for these kind of shows, it’s nice just knowing these girls are going to continue living and improving, even if they all go their separate ways eventually. Also, that reunion between Kano and Mahiru was nice, I might give Mahiru shit but these two were so tight early on so it’s great to see them back together again, although I guess that yuri never was brought up again huh lol, had a feeling that would happen. And another thing, Kano’s dad just showed up at the very end huh, would’ve liked to know more about him but I guess he shall remain a mystery since this is the end. And that was it, the 2nd girls music anime I missed out on from Spring 2024 is now done, I’m happy and sad at the same time because this was very very good but I’m also a little burnt out on music anime now after this and GBC back to back lol. Now after finishing both and seeing so many comparisons between the two, I can confidently say they are both very different shows, they may have similar themes and moments but they have completely different vibes from each other, even this final episode which folks said was the exact same as GBC was very different, only similar aspect being a final performance which is usually in any music anime. Now if I had to pick one over the other, I’d say GBC was a bit better, but this was still a fantastic anime despite some of my problems with it, Doga Kobo really nailed it on the production side and I really enjoyed the characters of the show as well, gonna be hard to forget the ray of sunshine that is Kano or her mad simp Kim anytime soon lol. And people gave the drama a lot of shit, but imo it made things really interesting near the end, yeah I got pissed at Mahiru but it was fun lol, and yeah I’m also a big fan of purely cute and feel good shows with no drama but I can also appreciate some tasty drama too, and this was tasty no doubt. But I will say, I would rather watch Mahiru and Kano stay tight and be wholesome than get mad at each other lol, that’s a given. And since this is a music anime, I gotta mention the music, and that’s definitely a very very good OP and ED combo, and the JELEE songs in the anime were very nice as well, rock music like in GBC is more my style but I love these cute songs too, I’m a lover of many genres after all. And I guess with that, I say goodbye to Spring 2024 once again, as well as these girls who I’ll miss a lot, would love a 2nd season of this just to get more of them but I’m not sure how likely that is for an anime original. And I’ll probably return to this season again in the near future, not sure when exactly but I’m absolutely not done going back for stuff I missed lol. |

| Everything is resolved and it was nice that Kano could perform like they said with Yoru's drawings etc, their goal has been achieved + getting 50k people on the live is crazy, it was also nice to see them re-drawing the initial jellyfish art by Yoru, cute happy ending overall. |
 |
| It was good, but the start promised a new SoraYori for me, and it didn't deliver that at all. Last few episodes just went downhill, and suddenly the doxxer and the mom being in friendly terms with Kano without displaying anything outside of them already in friendly terms substracts from the conclusion, even if it was expected as the type of show this is. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| I didn´t see all this difference from 1st to 2nd half as some reviews are stating. I think the show in general kept its balance. I did really enjoy Koharu xD I thought she would join the group or something, but unfortunately she just had 1 episode of screen time, basically. Well, I think this anime was okay in general. I wish I could have enjoyed more though cause I saw this is somewhat different from your usual boring idol shows out there. 6/10 (would 6.5 if it were possible). |

| Interesting. Did they try to set up a potential sequel with the guy who looked at the jellyfish shot at the end (who I assume is the same guy they showed through the fish tank shot a few eps back)? I can't quite remember what they said about Kano's father so maybe it was just a hint at that or something else subtle. Anyway this was a decent show. I don't think the mom should be left off the hook so easily considering what she put her child through, but they really didn't give enough time to fully resolve that conflict with all the other elements of drama they wanted to add with the other members of the cast. So we get a super happy ending that I feel isn't totally deserved, but it's fine. Basically the show needed more time to handle all the things it was trying to. An unfortunate consequence of original anime where they kinda want to have a complete season with resolved arcs, but it pretty much always ends up as 12 episodes so they get severely limited on time. |
| I absolutely loved this anime. It was difficult trying to stop the tears coming out watching this anime, and I'm so glad I watched this. I think the last time an anime made me cry like that was back in 2019/20. It's disappointing that we're probably not gonna get any more of these girls, but atleast I can always come back and rewatch it when I miss them I get alot of people's criticisms of this anime, except the people complaining about the drama. It's a drama anime?? Did you even check the genres its tagged with on MAL?? How are you gonna complain it should've had less drama and just focused on cgdct when it's literally a drama anime and not a cgdct anime.. Just feels a bit silly Either way, 10/10 for me. |
 Watching one ONA every day for 200 Days! Day 24/200: Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life - Rating: 3/10 Feel free to drop any recommendations on my profile! (* ^ ω ^) |
| I remember seeing the score dropping heavily and seeing people saying the later episodes were worst than the first few so I put this on the back burner but I finally got time to finish this up; and I don’t see where those complaints came from, I guess maybe the drama from the last few episodes until now but regardless of that the ending itself was really good in my opinion so it’s sad there most likely won’t be any more from this series |
