I said this in last episode's discussion thread, but I really like how well the music does the talking in this show. Even though all we get this episode is a simple basic rock drum beat, it's performed in a way that really works. Then the hi-hat starts getting opened, and things get serious. All while the voices of the two characters complement the drums in an almost melodic way because of how on-beat the lines are delivered. Then the crash cymbals come in...

In terms of the animation side of things, this is decent as well. It's nothing too special, but it's prettier than most seasonal anime. The OP and ED visuals are great as well.

I can't take this show seriously all the time though; there are so many unintentionally funny things in here. Or perhaps it is intentional since it's a parody; I don't know. Suzunomiya's twintails are just funny to me for some reason: any time she stands in front of a door frame, I wonder how the heck she fits through it. Any time she stands next to another person, she's like meters away from them. When she goes stealth-mode to avoid Kurogane, her hair moves more than her legs when she jumps. And so on. And then we cut to her in the past with shorter twintails, which just broke me.

Finally, is the black cat that was stretching this episode going to be an recurring character? Seems like it, from the OP. I guess they have a pet now.

The episode was alright. I do like the fact that Ljnkin Park was mentioned. Personally, I feel that Lilisa should’ve stuck with her stance after she clearly stated no countless times. I mean I knew what would happen at the end, but it would’ve been a nice change-up.

How dare they leave us on an audible cliff-hanger!? I was ready to rock. I was so ready to see the lovely ladies sweating through another intimate experience.
But seriously, the idea is till fun and the other characters introduced led me to hope for some decent character interactions. I wonder how things will develop with the stepsister?

My disappointment is immeasurable, just as I got ready to listen to them perform together, the episode ended.

Otoha's passion for music really speaks to me on a emotional level as a musician. Music has to power to connect with people of different backgrounds and it was nice for Otoha to slow things down on the drums with the 8 beat rhythm.

Intimate moments eh ๐Ÿ˜‰ what a way to phrase it. But seriously, having the gall to press her to Round 2 after shitting on her guitar ๐Ÿ’€ that's something else

The brightest light casts the darkest shadow after all.

Add to that how she follows her around to the bathroom and all, and you have a recipe for a cursed day.

I'll take more time sneaking around with Lilisa any day of the week. As much as she may strive to be the Noble Maiden.. idk if that's possible with her. She doesn't need to be one caus she's perfect as is, but Noble Maidens are not exactly her ideal mold.

BAND-MAID you've done it again... somehow outdone yourself from Zenshuu's last season because holy FUCKKKKKKKK this OP is a BANGER. Visuals could've been better, but for what limited resources they have, this is amazing.

Most of the episode is just Suzunomiya debating on whether or not to join this "band", so the payoff at the end made it 10x better because of it.

Lilisa's perfectly balanced house of cards is being shaken by Otoha's drumbeat, lol. The question I want to ask is how the heck did Lilisa's mom get remarried into such an extremely wealthy household? She seems........normal.

It's possible that she's a kind of trophy wife. E.g. the real estate tycoon and Lily's father used to be friends (or rivals) back in high school and coveted the same girl. Lily's mother ended up with Mr. Rocker, but now that he's out of the picture tycoon collected the woman.

The denial phase should end by next episode. The student council prez is sus. Think the lil sis knows about her playing guitar and doesn't like what she's doing. Nice ED song btw.

Lilisa has seriously a switch on / off between putting up a act in front of the other girls and her real thoughts, and this created extremely amusing moments exactly as i wanted. "i'm going to stuff up my nose" (*cute noises included) ...

"Red Hot..." ...? What? How did she let her slip it? No, wait, again, what? RHCP name-called for real? Linkin Park too? (it will be a riot when sooner or later the average students will discover everything)

too bad she is forced into that boring violin at home, and her stepsister is also better at it. Student council president seems the most plain dull character despite the role, also, does most people in this show have 8 or more letters last names because it makes them sound more noble / elegant / sophisticated?

Obviously the episode had to abruptly finish with all that buildup, but Otoha going full stalker mode before was the most entertaining moment for her this time.

OP is nice (especially the chorus), but ED... Wow. Discovering it already seemed a 2025 anime milestone moment in advance, more or less as "Good morning, my brother" from Roshidere one year ago. Immediately looked for it as a full song a few minutes after, waiting for a Clone Hero chart, i will totally listen to it again and again. Slow, but powerful.
(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 don't get it. Why is Lilisa trying so hard to hide from Otoha when all they need to do to satisfy us fans is more shouty angry making music together to hide that they actually like, not hate each other? Their words say one thing, but their music says something else.

ALSO LINKIN PARK MENTIONED OTOHA I LOVE YOU. Imagine if they did like how BTR did with the AKFG covers and did LP covers in this show.. I’d die

Yeah I lost it when they mentioned both RHCP and Linkin Park hahahaha. And this is an anime backed by one of my top favorite bands, with motion capture and instrumentals from Akane and Kanami of Band-Maid. Band-Maid does the OP, too, as I'm sure many of you know.
I'm such a fan of that band it's the main reason I'm watching the anime.

ENGRisH, LOL

She sounds so cute trying to speak English.

But OFC, it's Engrish as some words are pronounced Japanese-like.

Especially the end "Ma'am" she said "maa" and missed the last M sound.

.

And the hime-like lady is now turning into a Stalker...

I wish she would stalk me, tho she would probably twist me in half in a dark alleyway.

[follows a cute girl like any guy would] [never comes back out]

.

I wonder tho... Is Otoha's drum skill... self-taught? cause I am sure as hell unless she also has a past similar to Lilisa, where she used to be a regular high school girl that's into regular high school things... she shouldn't have been taught in Drums as that's not part of the "upper class" musical instruments like Cello, Piano, etc etc.

The other interesting part is... how the girl knows the musical notes for songs where they haven't seen the music sheet for them before...

In a way... this might be actual true talent. Where you can play or sing a song without having to look at a music sheet prior.
