Celty is that you?

This episode felt slow for some reason. I mean, the buildup up to this point sets up for a big battle of the band. Luckily, I think the second half made it up with the guys' performances.

Darudayuu and her group's performance was quite something though.

Yay, Criticrista are alive! I was really worried about them for the past two weeks. At least we know they're alive now. I kind of wish the actual Criticrista boss had appeared instead of the Demons Venom one, but we should know by now that GOONEYS doesn't care about matching bands and bosses, so whatever.

I still think 12 episodes is way too short, they're rushing this too much. 24 would have been more ideal.

Precisely what the fuck was happening at the last bit of it? Why the hell does Darudayu have so many powers? I smell a Mary Sue.
It felt a little lazy as well that they used the same backstage area from all the other stadiums, right down to the graffiti, and that they used the same songs and footage from them. I wouldn't mind if you ripped pre-existing songs from the game, just give us more than 1 song per band.

So that dark monster is Cri-cri.
I was very depressed because next week is the last episode.T___T

By the way, 12 episodes make the storyline of this anime becoming too fast!

SB69 should have a second season with the number of episodes at least 24 episodes TuT

I am sorry if i have a bad english

It's been hinted in an older episode that she might have lived for hundreds if not for thousands of years and similar events have happened in the past. This is very apparent due to her youthful appearance that does not correspond to her real age (she talks like an old lady).

So she is some kind of sennin/goddess or an extremely powerful priestess.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

So many things going on...

-Of course the big concert!
-Bands showing off.
-More RomShuu moments.
-Comparing the "Far East" style transportation to modern big-ass limo surreal moment...
-Dagger is still best douche villain 2k15
-SUPER MECHA DARUDAYUU OMG!!! (And that thing earns its own SR promo!)
-Cute panicking Myumons
-Epic Daruma VS. Queen Bee battle
-Not to surprised but how it was executed plot twist + cliff hanger.

Like post above, I do imagine Darudayuu lived on longer than a thousand years to know enough that monster encounters are... Common to her...? And that she knows Cyan? (Or a "Cyan" of the past... You know, the in-game version had a black neck ribbon instead of pink and that has blue eyes instead of green? Yea.)

I don't know why I think to deeply, but who knew something as epic and cute made me stick around (and got me into the game)...

Oh and the fact the anime made me like Critis. Honestly I know they are the victims all this time and I felt pretty bad for them because they don't know who are dealing with since Epi. 3. ;_;

"Everyone go love Cyan!"

Darudayu is such a boss!
And the OST, damn do I love it!
When I realised the moth boss was Cri-Cri, I was a bit stunned.
Dagger being all kinds of evil as usual!
Can't wait for the finale!!!!!!!!

This is going to change EVERYTHING that was known by Dagger. He is indeed evil incarnate for USING Rosia as an enemy of every Light-sided Melodisian stone owner there is in that world... He's really looking forward to taking out anyone in his way... but it will be foiled because he underestimates whatever they can do to any monster they stand up to...

I hope Cyan knows that Dagger sees different and not just an enemy for everyone else. This is gonna be E...PIC... :)

Damn, SBR has been dropping the ball lately. This episode and the last were both disappointing as fuck and there were a few before that. Abuse of stock footage, weak character development, rushed and predictable storyline; damn, man. Get a hold of yourself and go back to being the amazing show you used to be.

It's been rushed all throughout IMO. SB69A REALLY needs to be 24 episodes with 5 main bands. 12 is way, way too short for this many characters. The game is able to focus on 20 bands just fine with the way it's set up with no continuing storyline, just scenes of dialogue, usually only focusing on one band (sometimes two) per episode. But in anime form, with this ongoing story and only 12 episodes, even with only 5 of the 20 bands it's too rushed.

The rushed storyline didn't really start hampering my enjoyment of the series until the last few episodes, thus why I said that it's been dropping the ball lately.

On this episode is the big event! The Grateful ROCK Festival.
And a whole lot of participants including Trichronica, Shingan, Tsurezure and of course Plasmagica!
Dagger now made his move and caught most of the bands in his dark dimension + captured most of the participating band members except Cyan, Shuzo, & Darudayuu.
Who would have thought that Darudayuu was strong enough to handle a dark monster 1 on 1!
And then Cyan noticed something wrong within that Dark Monster...it was Rosia of Criticrista! That damn Sly Dagger!
5/5.

What this episode felt like to me was, "Okay, we're right before the finale, so let's review the bands we've met, and gather together for the final fight!" Which is fine by me, needs more Trichron.

I like how Shuzo is one of the top three strongest, he's my fave. <3 That girl from the band-with-a-really-long-name is tough! Lol, she uses something like a mecha cat-thing. On to the last one~

Episode that finds my consent especially in the second part, where it turns into a real battle shonen almost, I hope the end is up to the expectations that I have made.

All the famous bands are on the Grateful Rock Festival.

The strong dark monster was actually the leader of Criticrista.

Darudayu is a very strong woman. She was able to beat that giant dark monster 1 vs 1.

Dagger playing dirty and using Criticrista as a dark monster. Darudayuu taking the fight to the dark monster was pretty fun to watch, and I think I saw a gomu gomu no attack in there at one point, lol.

Highlight: Darudayuu's fight against the dark monster, and the battle music that played in the background too

Boy, is it boring... I totally lost my interest at the first season and there are few more? Don't think so.
Worst thing about this episode: these assholes interrupted Darudayuu's song.

Awesome action scenes. Darudayuu is so powerful!

So, the Dark Monster was actually Rosia? :o Poor girl...
