----------------------------------------
Well, Plasmagica has saved Cri-Cri, but Dagger shows up in a freakin' scary gigantic monster! He really insists on making Cyan form a contract with him, but Grateful King arrives to save the day and he looks so DANDY!!

Cyan should have been transported back to her world but she decided to stay and save her friends with the power of her......love arrow??

That was Dagger's true form? So tiny! xD Well that ended real quick, though.

It's nice that Cyan finally meets the real Grateful King a.k.a. "Berry-san" in person. :) Lovely present from Chuchu. That goes to show the strong bond among the members of Plasmagica. Plasmagica gets to perform Seishun wa NON-STOP at the end.

I love this anime and how I wish it could have been longer. I'm gonna miss it. :'O Thank you!!

Overall a pretty fun show of music glory. Glad to see that not a big apocalypse or something resulted from this. The battle felt kinda rushed though imo.

Angelica somewhat reminded me of Nancy from Ninja Slayer. That misleading fanservice though..

Grateful King played a major role in stopping gigantic Dagger. The only thing that felt offbeat was how Cyan was almost got sent back to her world just to return immediately after. They could've just made her stay until the full battle was finished. Angel Cyan was epic though!

Well good thing no one died, not even Dagger, though he did deserve to be vanished from Midi City. I guess this show is too energetic for character death.

Fitting finale. Show By Rock would've been much much better without the horrid CGI. Even so, it was a decent watch overall.

Really good finale, enjoyed it. Enmotional moments when the songs were played.

Also Cyan grew enough confidence to finally join the club in school, that was nicely done.

7/10, it was close at the end, but the finale did it for me.

I wanted to see how "Berry-san" looks!
His shadow looks familiar...
But I don't know why.

So girls from music club looks like Plasmagica members...
Kinda wish they give better ending.
Maybe there will be OVA, special episode or another season? *.*

Anyway... nice and cute series :)
It was fun :)

I'd love to see a second season with Cyan in the music club. Even if it was only a short. She's so cute.

Overall I gave it an 8/10. I think I'm alone in liking the CGI.

CGI is what caught my interest in the first place. It's really well done and cute as well.

This anime was a nice surprise for me. I expected it to be horrible when I saw it announced, but as I started watching I was convinced otherwise. Characters were really cute and entertaining, and I absolutely loved the songs. Really touching and beautiful ending as well. 7/10 from me.

She's just too adorable <3<3 Loved when she came back in the angel dress and REKT Dagger.

So cute :3 And Shingancrimzons are lol as usual XD

Hope she'll make it big in the Real World :D

And Potato prez is a looker :O

Still kinda rushed, really needed to be longer. Even with only 1/4 of the game's bands being important in the anime, 12 episodes was too short, many things were rushed.

7.5/10. Cons were:

-Too rushed, needed to be much longer, even with only 5 bands
-only 5 out of the 20 bands were important, the majority made no appearance at all (image/logo cameos don't count, everyone got one of those, I mean actual appearances with dialogue, which only Shizuku Secretmind, Shinimonogurui, and Uwasanopetals got)
-they clearly just chose bosses at random

I think I would have preferred a series that took place in game-canon (since then they wouldn't need to worry about being rushed since the game has no ongoing story), was much, much longer, and had everybody.

Hnng, I had the feeling the ending was a bit too rushed. I had been looking forward to this anime for so long, so I guess it's logic it was sort of disappointing. However I still enjoyed it a lot tho! I'm praying for a second season, I would love to see other bands appear as well!

The fight seemed a bit rushed to me, but it was good anyway. Happy ending and Cyan finally joined the music club. And the club members resemble the Plasmagica members, very nice!

The president at the end, I laughed so hard! X3

Overall, I´ll give it 8/10 points. I didn´t expect much from this anime, but I really enjoyed it ´til the end. I´m gonna miss it, especially Shingancrimzons. They are my favorites. Would love to see some Specials/OVA or even a second Season.

I liked this anime. Characters were likeable and I liked their designs. I laughed at comedy parts and I was a little bit sad during drama moments. I enjoyed their songs, I think the CGI chibis were cute, opening and ending were cool. Graphics were colourful, ost was nice, although they overused one piece which got kind of annoying after 4 episodes.
5/5 for the episode.
7/10 for the series. I might rewatch it one day.

CGI is what caught my interest in the first place. It's really well done and cute as well.

The CGI is some of the best I've seen in anime for quite some time. Don't think BONES was in charge of it, but whoever it was is excellent and should definitely bring in more CGI of that quality to anime.

I came in at the end of the season, so I'm a bit sad I wasn't there for the show from the very beginning, but I'm so happy I decided to check it out. This is definitely the surprise anime of the season, and it's sad that it's one of the more underrated spring anime. I would like to see more, but I think it ended on a good note. *ba dum tish*

Thanks for the entertainment, BONES. Keep up the good work! Also head-canon that Grateful King is Space Dandy in another universe I don't care that the seiyuu was Meow, maybe Meow and Dandy's voices switched places.

Aaaa I'm so sad now it's over :CC I loved every single minute of it; from the first episode to the final one.

The last episode was great. I especially loved the ending where Cyan got her courage and signed up for the music club. I feel so happy for her!!

Hopefully we get a second season within a couple years.

I really hope these Blu-Ray sells go well to consider a Season 2. ;;

Yea. The battles were... Underwhelming? Okay the "Queen Bee" moment was cute and the anime honestly made me like Cir-Cris. (I am iffy about them at first due to Rosier acting like a show-off snob, but the quarter made me like her half-way? Ahhh....)

I wonder if Cyan knows to bypass UR+ leveling and... Yea... Its a sign that the band evolved on its own! (Those who play the game might know what I mean!)

But overall its a nice ending.. And daww Usawa no Petals got their dream! Honestly I think Usawa no Petals and maybe Dolly Dolci can have their own human roles in the potential season. :'D (Same with Shizuku and Yokai-band...) IDK. I imagine when Cyan returns gets ambushed by Usawa no Petals!

I can only dream I guess. :'D

I went crazy and gave it a 10. I know its not perfect, but as someone who doesn't watch too much anime, loves music-games (but I do agree it needs to expand) and kemonomimi (animal eared people), this anime made me watch right away compare to the other anime that are on my list... Now that its over, I wonder what should I watch next. ;;

Also I will get my Tsurezure haul tomorrow! *Dances like Corw*

Its over...It was definitely a fun ride. I didn't like the chibi cgi form but I got used to it. Cyan is so adorable, especially in her angel form and whoop Dagger's butt. Though the music itself was lacking it was still okay.

It was definitely worth it when I gave this show a try.

I welcome a 2nd season, and if it does I hope there'll be new characters and more music as well.

The only thing I liked about this show is the music and CG, the rest were okay. It could have been longer if the show is 24 episodes since it has a large cast and several other bands that needs to be developed. I'm hoping that this can get a 2nd season. 7/10

Props to Cyan's voice actress on her very first role in the show :D.

Man, I wanted to give this show a 9! I really did! Even the OST was so amazing... but the whole fight with Dagger was a bit disappointing for me.
I thought we'd get all the best artists VS Dagger with Cyan dealing the finishing blow.
Instead, I got Cyan going all Madokami for whatever unclear reason at the end and purging Dagger's dark ass. Felt a bit ass-pull-ish honestly. Would not have been so had they clearly elaborated on HOW she's suddenly able to perform such a feat...

8/10 for Cyan, ShingancrimsonZ, Tsurezure, Shuzo, the OST and Dagger's badassery!

Cyan with wings was a reference to her final evolution form in the game.

Ahahaha... Nice going with the item "Our Youth is Non-Stop! Loved it!" XD And yes, I did!

When I saw Cyan-chan screaming in pain, I was really angry -- I was actually thinking of going berserk and ramming toward Dagger myself (Get away from her... YOU *****)! I'm glad Mr. Berry stopped the monster on time, and Cyan-chan is alright.

I think the whole bow and arrow thing is actually legit as it derives from Strawberry Heart itself. That said... Cyan-chan's angelic form is really soothing to the heart of anyone trapped in darkness... Perhaps her most beautiful form.

Thing is, applying game logic like the final evolution CAN work, but it needs proper foreshadowing and explanation. We got none of that...
Yeah, felt like what won out was the Magic of Music... without the Music part.

raidenwarrior said:

Which makes sense how? I didn't consider this a magical girl show so I never expected to see Madokami Cyan. From my POV she had this power to one-hit-kill Dagger all of a sudden without any proper explanation. Like she could've done that right from the beginning and stuff. One-hit-kills on the final boss can work provided the proper build-up. Otherwise it just falls flat and wastes the other musicians potential to actually do something against the big bad.

While those guys were indeed one of my favorite things about the show, I think what's done is done with this story and it's time to move on to more and more new shows.
However, if they were to announce OVAs for each of the bands, Shingan included, I'd be all for it. I laughed so hard every time Rom's bandmates exalted him for having a job! And I wanna learn more about Tsurezure dammit! Speaking of learning more, I'd love to see Rom and Shuzo's past more clearly!

The staff knew how to end it on a high note. To end it with the OP song, great job!

As for the episode itself, the first half was pretty slow, tho I did like Angelica's scenes. Badass <3 2nd half was just awesome. Absolutely loved Cyan's resolve, that was great. She has grown so much, proud of her. Those last few moments, you go girl!

This anime was 8.5/10 for me, it was very very nice. It's underrated but the rating will improve here imo. I might as well overrate it myself, I will give a 9. Wish it gets a 2nd season... (but I think it all resolved nicely, 2nd season might ruin this ending)

Personally, I would say no to a Shingancrimsonz sequel. Those guys are just too wacky to have a sequel of their own. I think the comedy works better with them as supporting cast, but yeah that's just my opinion.
