Knew it. Otoha wore a really bold dress to make mouths water. It was funny how Tina struggled with her breasts being in full view. It was obvious, but she still got overwhelmed by it all. If not for Otoha, she would have been done for. Lol, those breast bounces of Tina's.

Didn't expect Lilisa to lose her ground and get overwhelmed too, like an amateur, and prove Tamaki's point for calling her a noob.

I don't really think that just throwing in wild music played by each instrument can actually make it sound good. The performance, to me, was below average. It's obvious, so I don't think I need to explain why. They ruined the majority of the performance with unsynced music, and it was all VFX to make it look like they're playing some out-of-this-world music, along with constant camera changes that made it dizzying for me.

What happens next is rather predictable, as they're the main cast and it's sure to play out in their favor in the end.
@XArceusX Fanservice cannot save a bad performance. of the worst that has been seen lately at a time when The Anime of bands are an incredible level. And then, where the battle has been here bands? If the other group you have not given a minute on screen. disappointing

@Marinate1016 I like your lenghty comments, they summarize a episode very nicely. Don't let it get to you, keep up the good work ^^
@TheMinkalex Agreed, I really enjoy reading them too, for the same reason. I like how in-depth they are, and how they strike a balance between sounding casual and professional. Keep it up, and don’t let that asshole get to you. ^_^ That comment 'you must be a jaw' was completely out of line and unnecessarily rude.

As much as I love this new series, I personally felt this particular episode was a massive dud.

It's painfully slow and dragged out, from the whole mystery about Otoha's clothes to Tina's underwhelming performance and Lilisa's personal issues. Nothing in their performance (even on their "burst mode") felt inspiring or electrifying, specially compared to Otoha & Lilisa's first encounter in the early episodes. I'm okay with the lower production value 3D models, but the plain 2D art and animation felt quite underwhelming in this episode, they didn't help at all to boost up an already lackluster performance with no vocalist.

I'm probably too critical, because Bocchi The Rock & Girls Band Cry raised the bar quite a while ago for Band anime and specially Bocchi pulled out the last minute Hero performance in both episode 8 and episode 12 without feeling slow or plain boring while still depicting the tension and burden of being on stage.
@Kimurah Well, Girls Band Cry, Bocchi, even Ave Mujica are at another level. Where did you see in those series someone could not touch the keyboard because their big tits are prevented from? , or that the Battery left half naked to the stage? Or that in a duel of bands, the other group did not give 1 minute on screen? .

I don't understand how the music they play is always so bland, Takarajima episode notwithstanding.

Was this meant to be one continuous piece? The part where they were "playing badly" was some of the most static and mind-numbingly boring music imaginable. Was the part where Lilisa went Super Saiyan after two breaks meant to be what she should have been playing or was it improv? Or are they just using monotonous rhythm guitar to represent bad playing and music where the guitar does something to represent amazing playing? I don't feel like they're selling instrumental rock well at all. They'd be better off with a vocalist if that means songs with structure, assuming she doesn't just make random Yōko Ono sounds to fit in.

I guess the inverse of the chest binder theory was true. Tina is the funniest character this episode: she's just minding her own business in the background and following the drum, like all good keyboard players do.

I do wish the music spoke for itself more this episode, instead of having visual effects all over the place to indicate the mood. Still, the episode was not poorly-executed, like others seem to suggest.

Anyways, next week's episode will be entertaining. The slurs will be crazy

I was hoping for a bit more of Lalisa and Tina working together but in the end they just needed to be cut loose and Otoha is the one that works that magic. Was a great episode, is really funny to me how both Shiro and Oto's metal displays are flat out dominatrix themed yet they two actually are the ones to let the bad get loose and wild.

The final part of their performance was pure ecstacy. The presentation was so dynamic and frantic, the manic and borderline psychotic facial expressions really made me so excited. It was quite exhilarating to watch. Especially when Otoha's unhingend nature comes through, she ist such a savage and I love it.


Still, there was a lot of typical melodrama as well that I'm not a fan of. But I think it's impressive that the high towards the end made me totally forget about it and got completely engulfed in the insanity that followed.

The CGI models look good and are rich with emotions which I love! Lilisa and Otoha's performance looks very cool and I'm glad to see that Shiraya has (probably) started to get where Otoha is coming from about Lilisa.

To be honest, while the performance in this episode is great, it still can't beat Lilisa and Otoha's performance when they first met.

Nah this episode was genius structure-wise
first half was messy, cg looked not on par, Isemi stuff aside, the song felt bland and I was losing interest in the song

Then the second half came in and made it a must see episode, exactly like the performance itself

We were the audience of this episode, unimpressed in the first half,completely mesmerized in the second

Okay! FINALLY we get to see them perform. Otoha's outfit LMAO! It's so over the top punk! Matching Tamaki! Whereas Lilisa and Giant Boobs Tina have Lips T shirts. They don't look like they're in the same band. That wardrobe is so amateur hour. If they progress they're going to need the help of a stylist so they can look more ... put together.

Aaaand, Tina can't see the Keyboard because her boobs are in the way. She messes up. Oh no! That was painful. But you know, ultimately, realistic as newbies do choke, it's just a matter of recovery. And she does eventually recover even though their band sucks.

Lilisa tries her best to make up in the 2nd song. It does not go well. I'm starting to worry that Tamaki might have to join Bittar Ganache. Surely not. This is anime, the "good" girls should win, right? Even the audience seems disappointed.

Finally the 3rd song comes on. Lilisa is going ALL OUT! YES! Show us your passion girl! Otoha joins in and it's make war not love until Tamaki reins them both in with her bass. MVP right there. Tina is just ... along for the ride this time, at least she's no longer messing up.

That performance was so fire even the audience FELT it. Rock isn't always about playing the right notes, it's all about the attitude. Metal is similar.

So ... does playing rock music make them angry? Or is it because they're already angry and they want to let out their anger by playing rock? Can both be true? Because that performance felt like it started with angry Lilisa playing, then the anger in the music fired everyone up including the audience.

IDK how they're going to vote. What is it with this anime and the episode cliffhangers? I Binged 9 episodes and now I'm STUCK waiting for episode 10. OMG the torture! I should have waited till it ended to save myself some suffering.

As for Girls Band Cry, there is huge contrast in how that anime's episode 5 treated the stage costume T-shirts issue, versus Rock is a Lady's Hobby episode 9. Easy to see which series took itself seriously to deliver a meaningful story and which is pandering. GBC / Togenashi Togeari are playing in a completely different league!

@Tacsk0 they are not playing in a completely different league, they suck, GBC’s music sucks, GBC sucks in general, Rock is a Lady’s modesty is only 9 episodes in and yet it already clears GBC by far

watching the keyboardist still failing to enter in sync was more realistic than making it because of plot armor, but it's great that Otoha helped her recovering and doing the same with Lilisa later too. Audience reaction is realistically cold but it's also nice that it opened up as soon as the songs improved one by one.

Bitter Ganache are unlikable. Not to a straight up hate level, but unlikable (wardrobe choices included). Too bad the episodes abruptly ends before the aftermath.

The battle of the bands at the live house, with Bitter Ganache being praised by the audience, and Otoha with quite the costume from her favourite band to turn heads for their mockery band, Lilisa wants this performance to prove she's got what it takes to rock out. But even more so, it's Tina's first time being at a live house, coupled with her off-timings that she has to play catch-up and not lose the song's nuance. Still, she has no choice but to push through, even though the pressure now falls to Lilisa to disprove Shiraya's fans that she can do better.

Lilisa failing to meet expectations, only drives further thanks to Otoha giving her the beat, though that's driving the song to ruins. And their partnership, forces Shiraya to doubt them with the bass, though that also shows why Otoha has her keen interest on Lilisa.

Still, that performance was defintely the mismatched girls giving it their all, and it's quite the powerful performance indeed.

One thing that triggered me is the 3D animations of this anime. Many animes of 2025's Q1 and Q2 use this technic. It's ok but could be better with normal animations

I just flat-out love this anime. I've said it before, but I'm a huge Band-Maid fan.

I've always been into Punk and Metal music, so most times, despite being a huge anime nerd, I'm not generally super into pop OPs. Now, when Band-Maid is doing an OP (AND in this case doing mo-cap and actual instrumentals) for the drums and guitar (Akane and Kanami), like, OOOF, sign me up!

Still feels like the CGI scenes are just a little bit jarring to me in places, but I do understand it absolutely makes sense in this instance since they're translating real rock musicians movements into the characters. But I LOVE the facial expressions they animate in this anime. It translates the theme of the anime so well (along with Lilisa's change in tone between when she's acting in her Ojousama "performance", to how she actually normally talks.)

Also, on the tails of Bocchi, along with this one, I am happy they're making anime centered around girls in rock bands. The more anime that encourages that it's okay for girls to be into rock or heavy music and to be in a band; the more it means I get more girl rock and metal bands coming from Japan.
And what a welcome break from all the pop nonsense that is for me, personally.
(No shade on those of you that like it, it's just really not for me.)

Going into this episode I was worried there was no way they could justify a win with the way the odds were stacked, and it seems the show's approach was to not even try. Even with all the reaction commentary over the song the only thing that actually seems to change for the turnaround is the special effects. This show is okay brain off, but it was pretty disappointing.

K-ON! established a bar back in it's days. That doesn't mean they would stand undefeated or impossible to improve. GBC and Bocchi did raise the bar with their out of the box direction and artistic values, specially how expressive the cast from GBC can be using top of the line unique 3D animation. Add to that, Bocchi portrayed the hardships of becoming an indie band from zero and how their struggles bared fruit on the stage in two separate occasions.

In contrast K-ON! chose the low road having Yui a complete inexperienced guitarist being a flawless musician who didn't need more than just a few lessons to become a big star in highschool crowd. Lets not even even look at how around 85% of K-ON! content is just moe fluff, and some of the rest is dedicated to actual band content.

You can be a fanboy all you want, but to anyone with an ounce of dignity and even the most myopia vision, K-ON! is now an incredibly outdated band anime.

The Live Show Was A Success, But The Rival Band Has A Dispute With The Band Members. After that, they disbanded. How Can A Band That Is So Successful In The Last Episode Disband So Soon?



Then, At The End, The Girls Come Up With A Plan To Make The Band Popular Again At Their Elite School. They All Begin To Embrace Their School's Culture Without The Music.



So, 8 Episodes Of The Girls Making A Popular Band, Then, One Episode You Get To Debut, And Then In Episode 10, You Disband? How Is That Possible?

The episode sure did not hold back on the debut performance completely crashing and burning. The first two numbers were painful to watch, but felt painfully realistic. That feeling of things going wrong exactly as you envisioned countless times before, then slogging through the mud with no end in sight.

Not sure how they dug themselves out of that hole, because it's just so, so difficult finding your footing again after bombing like that. But I'd rather not think about it too much, because the last number was just spectacular fun. Just losing your mind and playing like you're going to destroy the piece is probably a recipe for disaster, but it's so satisfying to see them somehow popping off, lifting each other and reining each other in, just making music together, then crashing through the finish line.

@Kimurah I don't speak dumb zoomer language either, schizo is just short for schizophrenic, and I'm sure the word "schizophrenia" is not a zoomer thing and even "schizo" has been used in 4chan since like 2007 or so.

Again, it's extremely funny the way of praising Bocchi, "out of the box direction", it was definitely far more creative than the average anime because the average anime may have random directors instead of real life people. You're wrong when you say Yui is a flawless musician when she commits many mistakes in practice, and while you are right by calling her a "big star in highschool crowd", it's pretty low bar, you're acting as if they actually went and played in the Budokan as Ritsu said she wanted to do at the beginning of the series, they just play music in their school presentations, even I met people who did stuff like that, I still remember a guy who played a popular song with his guitar and he did so incredibly in an end of the year school presentation. You are the one who has "myopia vision" (I don't know how this is relevant or why you would mention it) if you think K-On! is outdated by any means.

You're using 4chan as some sort of liable defense in your verbal diahrrea. You definitely sound like a dumb zoomer being a tryhard on some lame argumentation.

It's extremely funny (and by funny I mean pathetic) that you try to act as some contrarian on a title that got massive approval from the anime community, critics and real artists on stage, specially on the live performances of Bocchi the Rock. Also your last barfs, I mean words, makes no sense. Bocchi's direction was amazing because Saito and their staff worked hard elevating the source material with their ingenious craft, their talent was also recognized in Frieren's adaptation. You really have to be some really obtuse and myope MAL user to deny the quality of their work that did elevate the band anime bar, And this isn't something that comes from my own, I've read it in several other anime sites.

Heck, you can even read the room in here that many acknowledge that BTR & GBC felt like the new standard and that this episode of Rock is a Lady's MOdesty was a huge dud in comparisson (which was the original topic before you deviated on pure hater saltyness against BTR & GBC). <insert here Skinner's meme, am I out of touch?>

And they did it flawlessly, without any hesitation nor stage freight, or messed up notes. Your bar that they didn't make it to the Budoukan it's just deflection to diminish their success as a school band that still requires a huge amount of skill and appeal to make it that big. Going back to Yui, even the series joked that she could tune her guitar without a tuner gadget, a girl that barely needed just a few guitar lessons to play flawlessly every single time.

Because your salty fanboy nay-sayer ass claimed that K-ON! existed 10 years ago (as some sort of smart reply to my original statement that BTR & GBC raised the bar for Band anime). Maybe I should also add memory lapses to your myopia in a list of defects. And yes, K-ON! now feels outdated as a Band anime, already mentioned that most of it's content is moe fluff and that's how most people remember it.

If you're going to keep replying at least follow up the discussion. Also personal experiences don't count as rock solid evidence.

Going back to Yui, even the series joked that she could tune her guitar without a tuner gadget, a girl that barely needed just a few guitar lessons to play flawlessly every single time.

You are the one who has "myopia vision" (I don't know how this is relevant or why you would mention it) if you think K-On! is outdated by any means.


Because your salty fanboy nay-sayer ass claimed that K-ON! existed 10 years ago (as some sort of smart reply to my original statement that BTR & GBC raised the bar for Band anime). Maybe I should also add memory lapses to your myopia in a list of defects. And yes, K-ON! now feels outdated as a Band anime, already mentioned that most of it's content is moe fluff and that's how most people remember it.

If you're going to keep replying at least follow up the discussion. Also personal experiences don't count as rock solid evidence.

>You're using 4chan as some sort of liable defense in your verbal diahrrea. You definitely sound like a dumb zoomer being a tryhard on some lame argumentation.
I don't understand if you are really this stupid, I'm not using 4chan as a defense for "verbal diahrrea", I told you that the abbreviation of "schizophrenic" as "schizo" was being used all the way back in 2007, sorry if you didn't understand that and got hung up on me mentioning 4chan.

>It's extremely funny (and by funny I mean pathetic) that you try to act as some contrarian on a title that got massive approval from the anime community, critics and real artists on stage, specially on the live performances of Bocchi the Rock. Also your last barfs, I mean words, makes no sense. Bocchi's direction was amazing because Saito and their staff worked hard elevating the source material with their ingenious craft, their talent was also recognized in Frieren's adaptation. You really have to be some really obtuse and myope MAL user to deny the quality of their work that did elevate the band anime bar, And this isn't something that comes from my own, I've read it in several other anime sites.
And I didn't say Bocchi is bad at all, I don't even hold a negative opinion about it, the most notorious bad part related to it is its annoying fanbase and that isn't related to the quality of the series, that's why I started basically saying that I was annoyed at them. Sure, I have no doubts in that it improved the source material by quite a lot seeing the way it was done, I haven't read Bocchi manga, I'm not interested on it, so I wouldn't be able to do an actual comparison. It's easy what I meant by my "last barfs", I meant that, of course, Bocchi has much better directing than a normal anime because most of them are almost shot-by-shot of whatever manga or light novel they are adapting, Bocchi, did, indeed have a creative enough mind working on it, what I'm saying is that Bocchi is not even close to unique in that aspect, I'm more impressed on Gimai Seikatsu's directing (not a band anime) than in Bocchi's, and I'm not actually impressed by neither of them. Frieren was lackluster in any area that wasn't animation, don't even mention that shit here, I'm tired enough of seeing it being mentioned everywhere. I don't care about other anime sites, heck, I can barely care about what MAL users say and that's only because I use this site and, sadly, check the discussion area.

>And they did it flawlessly, without any hesitation nor stage freight, or messed up notes. Your bar that they didn't make it to the Budoukan it's just deflection to diminish their success as a school band that still requires a huge amount of skill and appeal to make it that big
At this point I'm sure you don't even remember K-On with your first line, it's barely worth answering the other when, again, as I just said, their acclaim was mostly tied to a single school and it was the one where they play for school presentations. Again, this isn't as big as you try to make it out to be, people aren't famous if they are just popular in school.

>Going back to Yui, even the series joked that she could tune her guitar without a tuner gadget
Correct, and there exist people, even in real life, who can do that, it's called perfect pitch if I don't misremember and it might also be, you can guess it, a joke.

>Because your salty fanboy nay-sayer ass claimed that K-ON! existed 10 years ago (as some sort of smart reply to my original statement that BTR & GBC raised the bar for Band anime).
Yes, because they didn't. And I didn't think the reply was smart, why would I? I was mostly expressing annoyance at BTR/GBC/Ave Mujica fans by being so annoying, and that part wasn't even completely directed at you, it was talking about other people I already discussed before.

The CG isn't that great, but Otoha's character is the real star of this show, not that the others are inferior to her, maybe just a little. XD

Are we really bringing love songs into a rock venue? πŸ’€ No wonder these guys are the little bump in the road to walk over. Feel like I'm picking up the lady mindset after all these episodes XD ah rock brain.

Me just waiting for the better girls to do their thing πŸ‘€ these guys around the pink flower know nothing XD

Let's go πŸ‘ that outfit is peak. Screw being formal with the dressware. Don't need that here.

When the chest blocks your view of the keyboard πŸ˜” ok that little bump is looking kinda fatal with this kind of start. Trying to make me worry about the rock girls and their.. lack of cohesion πŸ’€

But I'm glad that they were able to salvage that start into something. Still, that's what they were supposed to compete against the love song with? Where did all the buildup to this performance go?..

Noted, the girls are at their best when the song is on the verge of collapsing from lyrically butting heads

If it was me, I would have just jumped off the stage and whacked all the disrespectful audience members in the head with the guitar. There is no need for those wombles to be so rude

LOL, for sure didn't expect Otoha to have that outfit...

Where did she even get it? LOL.

And... 3 million yen... (about 20,000 USD or so). How high is her allowance? lol... cause she's also hiding the fact she plays drums from her parents, so this outfit would have been very SUS if the parent knows the auction.

.

and RIP Tina... boob too big, can't see.

So nice that Lilisa and Otoha's training is working for Tina like they already predict this would happen.

.

But Lilisa also still have issues of her own... she's "trying too hard" and it's messing up her good performance.

But Otoha being the genius she is... literally drums up the passion into Lilisa.

Otoha basically using the rivalry competition spirit to fuel herself up and Lilisa at the same time. This is the part that Otoha loves and chose to stay with Lilisa over Shiro.

.

TBH, with the way they're telling the story is that Lilisa as the "main" and gathers her Band (harem, lol).

But the true star of the series is Otoha. She's the real one that's gathering the Band and keeping them together. And the entire reason is... Otoha just wants to have fun, lol. She doesn't care about actual competition at all or if they'll succeed or fail. The true Bandmaster.

We’re starting the episode with the classic dilemma: doing what you want vs. doing what the market wants. But it seems like it's not going to be talked much.

Hey, the CG is actually pretty good. Shiro looks so cool in that one frame. Poor Tina—she's basically invisible during most of the performance. I'm really glad there wasn’t any bullshit miracle. She's a beginner and that's fine. Though I kinda wish Shiro had been the one to help Tina instead of Otoha. I don't know which one are more touche

Speaking of otoha, i don't even need to comment about her fit. I expected it from the last episode with the coat she wears, I'm surprised she's not naked already. Btw I’m nine episodes in and I just realized that Otoha is so similar to Soryuuin Akemi from How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?—the ojou-sama haircut, the wild vulgar side… they’re literally the same, lol.

I really hate how the crowd is written. Their NPC lines are killing me.
You could’ve just shown how bored and distracted they were without spelling it out. I loved how Bocchi the Rock handled this during their first live. Same with MyGO.

The cgi works so well in this. Everyone's wide grinning and devious smiles really come to life, reminiscent of the equally as goated Girls Band Cry.
