I enjoy these kind of absurd premises, where it takes a common theme and flips it on its head. It's similar to Akiba Maid War in a sense, which was on the surface a maid show, but was a Yakuza story. Similarly here, we have an Ojou show, but is actually a rock series. I like the art style, but the CGI was a resounding "meh" at best. But if that's what it takes for realistic accuracy for them playing instruments, then I'm all for it. I'd rather see actual musicians mo-capped than just random static animation. Makes the playing feel more real. The last few minutes were a lot of fun.

Disappointed to see yuri undertones though, but hopefully that's all they are. Any kind of weird romance would get in the way of what's a fun premise.

i guess this show is for the lesbian bdsm people, but personally i wish the twintail girl had smashed the guitar over the drummer's head at the end... i will persevere through this show atleast until the cute bassist shows up

Her twintails are ridulous, especially when they are so stiff during cgi sequences.

In what world is a shiny blonde twintail considered modest? No modest women have worn that hairstyle like ever.

Music on episode 1, for something that looks low budget, and references to music I know fans millions times more dedicated to the genre than me would know about. The show has passion, I want to see it continue.

I love this new version of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.


Its very...




Rock.

And the sister's dichotomy is all there.







Yep, that's Stocking all right.

I think I am going to really vibe with this production. So far, 8/10 based on initial first episode.

Deathly dull.

That blonde chick's hair is ridiculous (can't concentrate on any scene she's in it looks so stupid), the voice acting is horrible, and that so-called "rock music" is garbage.

Throw in the crap CGI and such an easy drop. Especially as I only made it through to the end of Episode 1 by watching on 2 x speed.

Interesting first episode. The cg was a letdown for me, but I’ll see what’s up with the next episode at least.

That was kinda underwhelming.

Lmao I can get over her ridiculous ass hair with those drills. The ending jam session was pretty awesome but also kind of insane. It seemed like they were jamming pretty good, but Lilisa is having the most insane internal thoughts due to past trauma with music. Then it ends and you think there will be some camaraderie, but Otoha goes fucking sicko mode on her lmao. It's so goofy I don't know what to expect from their next interaction.

I think this show will be a lot of fun either way. Woulda been nice if they went the extra mile and did a 2D animation blend over real drummer footage, but the cgi isn't terrible so whatever. At least the notes are accurate.

That was good, more plz. Yuri vibes? Only in dreams, I guess we can’t have everything. Still, that song was pretty great. Give me 12 of these and I’ll be happy lol.

Makes me want to play, which means it good. Drum battle.

It might be one of my favourites this season. The school is like Lilian Academy with modern animation that makes you see that it's a school for the upper class. Dunno if there's upper-middle here since they say they come from old money.

Yet the comedy is about our girls doing things that you don't associate with that class.

It's about time I got my rock game on. I was promised the finest of twintails in PVs, so I expect it to deliver. Do have to admit, the drum in the opening crawl mixed with classical does set the tone of the show. And the model of her drumming looked beautiful.

But we have more important, yellow twintails to look to 🙏 peak Suzunomiya. Bring on the internal thoughts of rebellion XD even tho classical is still very cool. Almost surprising in a fancy academy the green tips of her twintails don't rouse suspicions. Prim and proper schools limit that stuff 👀

Become that lady girl, that rock lady *ba dum*. Even equipped with the rosy meeting of the girl she'll bash music out with in the future. Guitar pick says it all.

I want the yuri vibes. More of that please. I beg of you.

How dare this drummer shit on my guitarist 😔 she deserves more credit. Now I need revenge.

The way all the other girls rejoiced over Lilisa and Otoha meeting eachother for the first time is both funny and cringy at the same time.

There's a couple glimpses into what Lilisa's earlier life was like with her rock loving father. For all we know, he caught Yuka cheating with Tadashi and then dumped her out of bitterness.

Procrastinated enough, no matter how many details i was already aware of at least for this pilot. Lilisa already makes me laugh for her last name almost identical to my all time favorite anime character (Suzu-no-miya, lol), for her immediate early actual inner reactions as a fish out of water that must pull off a act, and for those hair twin tails that... come on, those aren't hair, but waterpark slides.

That bondage metaphor seemed so weird, but i can easily expect more similar off the wall moments from now on. Didn't completely expect the drummer girl to rant at the end of the gi instead of Suzunomiya instead of the latter, but who cares after all... extremely good pilot, already wanting more.
(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)

the guitar was awesome, but why are they so damn wet?? and there's absolutely no way they're straight, 'lifelong partner' and all that tension... this is a girls' school so hopefully there'll be no boys around, even if we don't get a sapphic endgame as long as they don't get together with guys i'm satisfied

that hair is really distracting, must get in the way of everyone around her. Other than that this first ep has potential. Will see if will fall apart.

I’m digging this already man Shinomiya went from fighting Kaiju’s to fighting a girl who bested her at music with a drum set like now she gotta get her get back bc ain’t no way in hell is a rich girl like Otoha gon talk shit to my face like that, but I did like her facial expressions tho she was talking MADDDD SHIT hahaha I’m already loving her chaotic personality😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

The school setting seems so overly dramatic bc shit seems like it’s set in Victorian time with how they’re learning to become Maidens idek what that entails but I’m intrigued to see what a maiden looks like in this series

I LOVE Shinomiya’s design man I love her bright yellow hair and her twin tails, her twin tails are so unreal, shit reminds me of Shinomiya’s twin tails from Kaiju No. 8 and her eyes are pretty too great character design all around🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cant believe we getting fanservice in this anime I was NOT expecting to see Otoha’s big fat dumpy on my screen😩

Overall this show seems great I’m definitely excited to catch up

Massive Yuri vibes, lol

All the facade and inner thoughts was funny, and then the real true personality coming out was quite interesting.

Imagine a cute girl you all been admiring to, only to find out they have a crazy delinquent-like personality, LOL.

(I was like, I could stare at this hime-like cutie all day, and then see her true personality... oops, maybe not, she's totally gonna rip me a new one...)

And so a curious rivalry is born xd
I was looking forward to this anime because it really piqued my curiosity.
I really liked the first episode.
The two girls are great.
Let's see how it continues.

She's in pain from having to maintain the constant facade of an upper class lady, who can't even yawn in public. But one little "you suck" triggers the beast inside and unleashes pandemonium. This show is gonna be metal as f*ck.

That was fucking amazing. I'm instantly in love with this show. One of the best first episodes I've seen in ages. I hope they do a cover of Linda Linda at some point. That song slaps.
