| the thought of performing in front of 100,000 people breaking Tuesday was funny something tells me Skip's advice (and Crystal's motivation) will play a big part for the two also, i can't wait till they release a full album of all the songs from this. Skip and Crystal's are absolute bangers! |
| Some pretty interesting characters were introduced this episode, man the crowd was brutal this episode lol, glad the girls were saved before it got any worse |

| This was really hard to watch, which just comes to show how emotionally invested I am in these characters. I can't wait for Carole and Tuesday to come back and prove all of these idiots what a mistake they made. |

When you get that specific is hard to come up with a counter, anyway i don't think that the first popular music festival in a DESERT ever was done in western/american Sure, but we're talking about today. And the first thing that comes to mind is Coachella, because how big and well known it is. And I'm not implying it's a bad thing, it's just they try so hard to add todays pop culture and all trending things. It almost feel forced. |

| Ertegun just keeps pushing himself higher and higher up my list of favorite characters lol. "Fire!" bitchassdarius said: did watanabe commission a song for every episode? this is some serious production value. also with his taste, of course there'd be a d'angelo-esque song I was definitely not expecting the newly introduced acts to actually have full songs lol. Good call on Skip being pretty reminiscent of a singer like D'Angelo. Crystal seems to have Beyoncé-like presence, but her song reminded a lot of something Ariana Grande might release. Fun episode overall, and I enjoyed the songs except for Carole x Tuesday's pick. |

| The series intensifies. Man the budget for this show must be pretty damn high if they are bringing in actual entertainers to provide music for the series. All in All I'm loving every bit of it. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Loving the music in this series... Especially Crystal’s song, this time out. |

Zaugr said: Decent episode, didn't really like C&T's sped up song too much but the other two songs were great, Crystal's especially. Also I really, really love her design. Maturer anime girls ftw. IMO The (english) voice of Crystal was actually good but Skips voice didn't really matched up at all. |
| I love Thundercat and the song was nice but... it just didn't fit the character i guess. |

| - Was Tuesday singing in the scene where she fainted? - Tuesday swaying her arms in the next scene while laying on the couch was funny. She looked like she was all like "Come here, Carole, somebody help me! - Gus has bad breath apparently. I don't know what he's doing working with bad breath. - Lol, I thought that the girl blocking the door with her leg was Carole. - Carole and Tuesday are so strong for being able to keep their composure while everyone is being mean to them. And dang, I didn't expect someone to drop the F bomb in this show. -Is that Beyonce singing at the end? With the first few episodes, I was sure the show was mediocre, it looked like it was going to be a cliched borefest with filler dilaogue but I can't be so sure now but it looks like the show's improving on the writing because it's been kind of stumbling on the first few episodes but it looks like the humor is more witty now. Some of the dialogue used is clever. And God, the music in this show is just so gorgeous but I don't get how they get English actors to sing the songs while every other dialogue is in Japanese. It sounds kind of jarring to hear Japanese voices switch to English. This is a great episode, probably the best episode in the series. |
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. "TURN THAT JAPANESE SHIT OFF OR I'LL PUT YOU THROUGH THE FUCKING WALL!" |
| So Skip and Crystal have thing between them eh? They really put out their hearts in their song. Especially Crystal's Unbreakable was the best answer to Skip's Unrequited Love. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| So, where is the romance ? Any idea who loves who ? Earlier, it seemed that Roddy liked Tuesday on first meet. |
 |
| fucking bunch of haters, that audience just never gave them a chance, fuck them |
| Carole and Tuesday learn how hard big audience can be But the stand they keep going no matter what respect for that! I love they song as well! I not a big fan of that guy's song but Crystal's was beautiful! |
| Another really good episode! Watching this is becoming one of my favorite occasions of the week. This show bleeds nearly mastered simplicity to me. It flows in a exciting way even if it can be convenient, and it does so quite charmingly. This episode's shoe shots where you saw all 4's shoes with the lights on and later saw the lights off with only Carole and Tuesday's was one such example. Gus as always charmed me this episode. In particular I loved when he said:
Another way they are fun is how this episode built on Carole and Tuesday's relationship for me. I liked seeing them nervous at night in their own ways, Carole yelling and Tuesday being relatably anxious and praying they don't have to play, something I did every year when I had to present in class. And then seeing how Carole comforted Tuesday and the second they were together they were relieved, they were strong together and able to have fun writing music again. That was a powerful moment for me and the way Carole and Tuesday hugged after that hard experience on stage was really nice too. Their love of music and kindness and chemistry allows them to be there for one another when they need it and to encourage each other to keep going! Some lines I really loved were:
|
| Skip and crystal are the first time in the whole series that theres actually been any decent music so at least we got that, too bad the voice transitions for both of them were absurdly jarring, well more for skip, with crystal im more pissed they didnt just use Maaya Sakamoto who can do amazing english vocals, i mean jesus christ show you finally have a performer who can do both and you opt out, this series makes some confounding choices sometimes. This series is just so fucking strange with how polished it is only to be flimsy as fuck when it comes to the music, like they arent even trying with the lip syncing whatsover in any of these performances and it so takes you out of it. WinterEnlighten said: there really isnt any, not even hints so far. Maybe later on roddy will like tuesday or vice versa, maybe caorle and tuesday go full yuri, maybe theres none. I dont know why the tag is there when there hasnt been anything.So, where is the romance ? Any idea who loves who ? Earlier, it seemed that Roddy liked Tuesday on first meet. |

| Poor Carole and Tuesday, they really hung in there and gave their best despite the hatred they got. I love Crystal's song, but I totally agree, they should've let Maaya sing. She can sing english perfectly and has a great singing voice overall. Not sure why they had to hire another singer for that when it could be easily done by getting the VA herself to sing. |
 |
| Skip's English singing VA doesn't match his Japanese VA. lol Crystal's singing VA was also kind of off but it still worked to an extent, Skip's was just way off. Damn, that crowd was fucking rude but that's real life. I've seen people boo'd off stage before. It's just a reflection of society. Also,in reality people like DJ Ertegun and Omega have the most fans and singers like Carole and Tuesday rarely make it unless they'rel ike Ed Sheeran who appeals to masses of female fans. Still, glad that Carole and Tuesday didn't give up. I want to see Crystal and Skip again the future, Skip looks bad ass and Crystal too. Now, we need Angela to debut next! LOL at Joshua falling off stage. I want to see this drug addict's 'shy boy' side. He fucking fell off the stage lol |

I am very glad I am not the only one who was getting a Beyonce vibe from Crystal. |

| well they stood their ground ... hmmm |

| Fantastic. The series is really starting to feel lived in after viewing this episode. We are introduced to yet more potential characters and some of the crazy antics of already famous musicians. This is definitely my anime of the season. It probably helps that I enjoy music and anime equally. So when combined correctly, like here, it hits the sweet spot. |

Not sure why they had to hire another singer for that when it could be easily done by getting the VA herself to sing. Pretty sure that Maaya doesn't sign for characters as she keeps her career as a singer and as a voice actress apart. Lauren did perfectly and nobody would have sign the song as calmly perfect as she did, she has a great singing voice and really tooj Crystal to life in the perfirmamce with that song. I forgot. Yeah, she doesn't sing for characters, though sometimes she gets to do the ED or OP for an anime she's in. Not saying that Lauren didn't do, bc her voice is great, no dispute. I just thought from productions point of view it would be easier, but yeah. |
|
| Great episode. Well, Skip turned out to be completely different from what I expected. I thought he was a shady guy from the way he was introduced but he turned out to be a decent dude. I'm glad that Crystal accepted Carole and Tuesday. :) Crystal's performance was great but I do wish we could've heard Maaya Sakamoto sing. |
 |
| Skip-sempai is a cool dude. Decent episode but idk feels like the show is just a train going through stations at times. The beginning of Apollon felt much more organic. Enjoyable world building though. |
 |
| Wow Carole & Tuesday got their career boost right there! Playing in front of such a huge crowd on a popular festival is something else. Too bad the girls didn't manage to finish a new song, but Round & Round was good enough I think. Well, the crowd didn't want them to play anyway and seeing them cry afterwards was heartbreaking. But then Crystal came and told them to not give up and that there will be some people who actually 'heard' them. It was beautiful. Oh and I love Skip's advice too. It is so relevant since a lot of artists do lose their own voice and sound on their journey to fame. His music was so relaxing and he totally rocked his bass by the way. Can't wait for next week! |
 |
| It broke my heart when they flopped at the performance.It stuck with me because I have always been stuck in super humiliating situations because of miscommunication among other people. Unfortunately, i did not get to be hugged by my favorite musician. |

Kougeru said: Boltz said: Oh man, they should have let Maaya Sakamoto sing Crystal's songs, she's more than capable. AntonKutovoi said: I have to question choice of English singers this time. While singing itself is good, neither Skip or Crystal’s singers sounded similar to their voice actors (not to mention that Maaya Sakamoto easily could’ve sang a song herself). This so much. Whoever Lauren Dyson sang Crystal's song did great, but Maaya can sing absolutely AMAZING in English...I can't see any real reason to have had her changed unless it was on her end... I did hear that she doesn't like singing "in character". I think it is more about an accent. Though Maaya has some really good songs on English, she still has a noticable Japanese accent (damn, even Ayahi Takagaki who, I think, is the best singing English in the whole industry, has it) and they probably wanted all singers to sound "native". |

EratiK said: I think this is fair but im also looking at it under the view that kids on the slope was a 12 episodes show and this one is 24, the pacing for the 2 for better or worse is radically different.Skip-sempai is a cool dude. Decent episode but idk feels like the show is just a train going through stations at times. The beginning of Apollon felt much more organic. Enjoyable world building though. What absolutely is below kids on the slope is the music on every level, which is a given cause you know, yoko kanno is a bit of an unfair standard, but I do think outside of that contrast theres alot to criticize with this show's music, not only are the performances WAY too standard and bland but the lyrics themselves kind of ruin any impact with how vapid and shallow they almost all are which kind of conflicts with the feeling that this is somehow better than an advanced ai. Then outside of that the big problem i havent seen people mention that I cant escape is how absolutly worthless and background noise the bgm itself is, its so weird how the music show ended up being the series with the least amount of focus on bgm from this director especially after something like dandy that rolled out an insane amount of variety from each episode. I dont want to rag on the show too much but I do just generally find this to be Watanabe's weakest start of a show, but at least that will still put it leagues above zankyou no terror if it stays to this quality, and its not like theres anything wrong with a solid 7/10 its just kind of sad that this show isnt doing anything greater |

I agree that the music isn't on the level of Kids on the Slope (Yoko Kanno) but to call the performances so far (especially this episode) bland and standard?...I don't know about that one chief. |
MiiyoSon said: I dont know what else to call them, they sound like pop songs that sound straight out the late 90's and early 00's, which is what they were going for its just unfortunate that genre in that era are bad and filled with manipulative lyrics, I probably wouldn't be so harsh on them if it werent for the lyrics, thats kind of the icing on the cake, like they arent as manipulative as say a early bieber song is where its just straight pandering but the lyrics kind of go in the same boat with the vague descriptions in the songs and end up feeling really empty. Theres nothing interesting there, like to convey tuesday's sadness they just have her outright say shit about how shes the lonliest girl rather than actually go into why she feels that way, the songs are devoid of anything lyracally to make them stand out, and the unfortunate thing is the lonliest girl is the only song in the show that musically is above average.JizzyHitler said: What absolutely is below kids on the slope is the music on every level, which is a given cause you know, yoko kanno is a bit of an unfair standard, but I do think outside of that contrast theres alot to criticize with this show's music, not only are the performances WAY too standard and bland but the lyrics themselves kind of ruin any impact with how vapid and shallow they almost all are which kind of conflicts with the feeling that this is somehow better than an advanced ai.

The music isnt horrible, but this is a series about music, and not just that it's about how the creativity of artists can counter the advancement of ai's churning out songs but the irony is the songs carole and tuesday are singing dont sound any better. This feels like such a huge fault on the anime's part and even then outside of that aspect, its downright unforgivable just how bland the soundtrack itself is outside of musical performances, the soundtrack has no presence whatsoever other than an occasionally wacky song during a joke moment, theres no atmosphere or sense of tone in the music its just background noise at absolute best and especially considering who the director is this is maybe one of the biggest failings of his career given that this has been consistently one of the defining features of directing style was how much music and visual storytelling work in tandem together, and its so bizzare that he drops the ball here on a music show of all things. I'm sure people disagree, musical taste is the most subjective thing ever, but I can't help but feel this show has massively dropped the ball with its music all around and its not helped by how much the change in vocals take everyone out of the world every time they happen, anytime you think you get used to it an even more jarring and offputting one shows up like this episode with skip. I sincerely dont know why of all things the least polished and thought out aspect is the music |

| Damn, all those performances were great. Hope Carole & Tuesday get another chance to perform. |
 |
| I'm really not entertained by this show, but it's not poorly directed and it has a good plot, so I would feel bad if I gave it a low rating. Which I find strange because I usually like anime that has a plot revolving around music and instruments. Honestly the most entertainment I get from this is when Ertegun talks to himself. I'm still going to continue watching it though, so hopefully it will start entertaining me more. |
 |
| I like they way this episode was handled, and I liked all the new artists introduced. Skip seems like a really chill guy and Crystal was more down to earth than I would've expected. Looking forward to the next one! |
| This was such a beautiful episode. Skip and Crystal have a story and apparently she left him... Her performance was incredible, and she was awesome to give Carol and Tuesday her congratulations. Crystal and Skip songs, mostly Crystal's were AMAZING. Left me crying and trembling. |
 |
| That crowd was very mean lmao. Crystal's performance was good! Also, she is very nice :D No Angela in this episode but nevermid. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Great songs! Crystal was amazing. One of the best things about this show is that we can enjoy so many music styles in and out of it: During the episode and the "real life" music references they use in each episode for us to hear later. |
 |
| @JizzyHitler Exactly how I feel about the music. Thank you. I don't know why Watanabe just didn't get Yoko Kanno on board again. She can practically do any genre of music. And the lyrics are even worse. Rolling laundry lolwut. |
