| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, that bunny sleeping outfit. Cute. Hard to keep eyes off of that floating guitar though. Not too shabby for the buildup in the first half. I suppose there's stress put on these idols and I don't think that's surprising. The music was kinda catchy I guess but the way she was playing it didn't seem like it was for enjoyment. Their boss is such a bully taking advantage of ChuChu. Cyan's determination though. |

| Idiot Chuchu. She ticked me off with her ego. Very good ending to this though...but it doesn't make me like her any more really. The other three are better. |
| 12 episodes is just waaaay too small for such a huge cast of characters. Seriously. I'm a huge SB69 fan, so seeing all the plots getting really compressed is kinda disturbing me. Aww. In any case, Plasmagica fans' awaited final piece of the drama puzzle finally makes an appearance in the anime. I still wish it could've lasted at least 2 episodes, but this is alright. Everything about it is very Chuchu like. As long as she's still the Chuchu we've known for the last 2 years, I'm fine with it. At this point, the final overarching plot is reaching its climax. A plot that's exclusive to the anime, so now none of the game fans can really tell what's gonna happen next... Grateful King. All the odds are ridiculously stacked against him right now, and being the character that this entire conflict revolves around, I'm really interested to see where this goes. |
| So Berry was The Great? I wonder how Chuchu would react to that :P Glad the drama didn't drag. Chuchu's ambitions are understandable and the way it was solved wasn't bad. Loved the "It wouldn't be fun if we didn't at least have one slightly evil character" XD They just accepted her as is :3 |
 |
| I'm glad ChuChu snapped out of it, although her ego is nearly infuriating, nice work Strawberry Heart. |
 |
| Ha, all these people who weren't expecting that from Chuchu. Anyone who plays the game already knew. But what I'm wondering is if Criticrista are okay. I'm genuinely worried for them. |
 |
| ya i thought strawberry heart and the king are the same because of their voice. So........the legendary strawberry heart is just an...instrument that the king possess? Nothing special then |
| Now everyone's secret has been review |
| Meh, Chuchu should have turned into a dark monster who sings, then the girls beat her with her own song, that would have been better. Sorry Cyan but Maple is Best Girl <3  |
 |
| This was like: "how to destroy a character in 20 minutes". |

| Damn, the animation was so good this ep, especially when Chuchu was getting manipulated. |
| That's was... quite easy. I thought they leave Chuchu exorcism for the next episode or even till end. |
lennyfanime223 said: But something's keeping me curious now... What's keeping Grateful King tied to the Unicorn Virtual? What has he to lose? It seems that King is trapped in there against his will. That's why he's possessing the guitar because that's the only way he can contact Cyan to help her. |

Blackforenyan said: I hope Show By Rock!!have a second season or at least a movie that I can watch in mid-december :') If there ever is a second season or some sort of continuation of anime-canon, I'd want it to feature all the bands who weren't important in SB69A (that being all but 5 of them, so 15!). So many bands in the game that I love didn't appear at all... *cough*Chammy Chaplets, StuddoBan Gyasshu, and Rapezziauto*cough* |

| ^ if they're keeping it at 12 episodes still though, it might be wise to just keep the main band count at around 4-5. I was about to say 3 but I remembered that Trichronika technically counts as a protag band alongside Plasmagica and Shingan so it's very highly unlikely they'll get excluded. also I still really want SS Mind on the main spotlight |
| Holy macaroni. Okay it's not to much of a surprise if someone like me learns the game profiles (and watch the shorts before this anime even existed), Chuchu really wants to have that solo dream and used her birthchild (Plasmagica) as that stepping stone... Like she said. It was interesting that Dagger took this cruel advantage to brainwash Chuchu and HELL THAT WORRIED ME because I know enough Chuchu. Q_Q I was hoping like.. >Chuchu becomes a Wi- I MEAN MONSTER!! >Plasmagica and mostly other bands band up *cough* to stop said monster. >Hopefully Chuchu is saved with DESTINY song. I almost forgot that Destiny is Chuchu's written song while Starlight is Cyan's song. Very nice use of bringing the instrumental back and ACTIVATE FEVER!!! I am not to surprised that the progress between Grateful King and Strawberry Heart are all one person. Dang. So Chuchu doesn't know that Strawberry Heart is her idol controlling that pink thing... Still I love the key elements. Grateful Rock Festival... The last destination of this season. Its sad that not all band members get major spotlight or a single episode dedicated to them (then again this anime is about Banded Band Records, but Judas or whatever "label" Darudayuu is in!), but I hope the "final bossses" will be pretty epic! (And hopefully there is a way to bring back the CriCris. If they are dead still in-game, I WILL SOB!!!) BTW no one knows in MIDI CITY knows the CriCris are MIA?! Bummer. :( I love the new alt. ending with Maple performing, lol! (And how he was animated... Oh god. I won't be tired looking at him bouncing around, lol!) Now to wait... I am kind of sad that its ending because I grew attached to the anime and got me into the game. Q_Q; P.S. HI THERE SB69 TUMBLR COMMUNITY! |
 "Everyone go love Cyan!" |
| I like how Retoree said, "It wouldn't be fun if we didn't at least have one slightly evil character". I agree with her. I'm surprise Grateful King and Berry are the same, I never thought well that their voice are the same. Good episode. |
| It was easier to bring her back then I thought it should be. Good episode |
 |
| Lol, Maple suddenly appeared on ED credit.. xD ichii_1 said: |
 read from right to left |
| Very good episode as always! Sad that theres only 2 episodes left |
| ChuChu is back |
| The change of the ED visuals were hilarious, you could see Maple-san starting the musicals and also he was loitering while the goons from Shingan were running! ChuChu is one very ambitious bastard! and it was harsh to say that Plasmagica is just a stepping stone for her. Dagger made ChuChu plummet into the depths of despair and made her appear the dark aura. And also the reason why ChuChu made her say that she wants to quit from Plasmagica, but of course, Cyan, Moa & Retoree were able to bump the sense out of her so that she would return to her former self, but with a great cost, we could hear that Berry-san last words were accompanied with heavy exhaustion. Berry-san is also the song writer of Dagger-san. 5/5. |
 |
| LOL Maple in the ED. Wow, Chuchu had me scared for a while there. She really did almost leave. I hope to hear more of the song they played. |
  |
| Dang I only realized Berry san was the Grateful King this episode when they said it...I didn't recognize the voice and connect those two together at all Also omg evil chuchu...she definitely looked like the dark character lol |

Then you wouldn't have liked the entire Plasmagica as a band, would you? Chuchu is still an amazing person. Well, if Chuchu were really that horrible as a person, she wouldn't possibly have formed the band, and she didn't even need to quit the band for her own ambition. Everyone has a dark side of their own, but good-natured people are strong enough to overcome it. That said, the more I watched this anime show, the more beautiful Cyan-chan became to me =><= |

| Chuchu became more beautiful after this episode. I love how the characters have depth in this anime. |
 |
| Nice episode but I do wonder what was up with that ending! And lol that ED! |
 |
| madoka plasmagica .-. |
| I don't really mind what happened with ChuChu, I agree with Retoree here: It wouldn't be as fun if none of them had a dark side. ChuChu was too "perfect" before anyway. And I don't find it hard to believe she started the band as a stepping stone. When you don't know the people you'll become involved with, it's easy to make plans of leaving them. Now that they've become great friends, it just wouldn't be right. Maybe she can still reach her goal someday, but I'd like to think she'll leave on friendly terms, not "I'm quitting today." And LOL @ that Maple ending. What a weirdo. |
| Plot usable in its simplicity, nothing so original under the sun, it also narrative on stessso plan even if in the end I was happy for what I saw. Nice background music, you really can say: Music is life, music is love. Finally the story reaches its climax, showing the first moves of Dagger. Nice designs together, opening and ending fresh and sparkling, I love them. |
 |
| Chu Chu was manipulated by Dagger. Fortunately the staff of Plasmagica managed to bring her back to her senses. King and Berry-san are the same person. It was possible to guess it on early episodes because king and berry used the same voice actor. |
 |
| Thankfully they were able to cure Chuchu quickly. Haha at the manager taking the spotlight during the end. |

| I felt a bit bad for Chuchu, she's a part of the group too but she must gets rid of that jealousy |
 |
| I actually don't mind that Chuchu got turned back to normal this fast. I want everyone to be happy. Except Dagger. I hope someone gives him a circumcision with a dull and rusty breadknife. I'm still salty because of the missed opportunity of showing Angelica in a swimsuit, by the way... |
 |
| I'm glad ChuChu didn't quit the band. Maple performing in the ending was hilarious. xD Cyan was so adorable in that bunny outfit. ^_^  |
 |
| Chuchu's ego... Glad she finally snapped out of it but I definitely like her a lot less now.. |
