Introducing more characters definitely adds chemistry into this season.

Tina, the vice president has moments with Lilisa this episode. She also showed a more vulnerable side later on. That Tamaki girl might also be worth to keep an eye on for her guitar skills. Feels like this anime is even more alive now.

Weekly dose of my rock lesbians! Finally the rest of the group are coming into shape! Love how this episode is basically Lilisa and Oto meeting their biggest fan all because of that orchestra performance 😂 countdown to the band battle starts now.

So now the little sister wants to come to all of Lilisa’s shows lol, I told y’all I’ve seen this trope too many times. She’ll probably go on to start her own band at some point in the future. We still have to get some closure to that arc with the mom tho..

Swear there’s not a single straight in this school. The other girls himejoshing out over Tina flirting with Lilisa and saving the cat was so funny. You can see why she’s so popular, but learning about her story and internal struggle later on in the episode made me pretty sad.

“I’m so glad I formed a band with you” 😭 Oto is such a sweetheart. Idk why Lilisa is acting brand new to the nickname thing though, they were pretty locked into it last week!

Emotionally unstable tomboy alt rocker save me! New best girl dropped in Shiro. Been hype for her debut since I first saw the ED and she didn’t disappoint. Bold, assertive and a crass way of talking I love her already. No way she thought Oto would ever get rid of Lilisa tho lol

Tina talking with a stuffed animal because she’s so nervous reminds me of Rina from Nijigaku! I know the whole boobs out scene is supposed to be comedic, but it’s also really sad because Tina’s had to hide every aspect of herself even her actual body, from the world all to fit into some predetermined personality. It’s no wonder she wants to be in a band so bad, it’s the only place she can truly decide her life for herself. Lilisa knows more than anyone what that’s like so I expect them to develop a special connection.

Can’t wait to see the band start to take shape now that we’ve got full membership!! Great episode, went by so quick as usual.

So we got new members and immediately there is rivalry between them which should be interesting.
Seems like the blue haired prince type still has some ways to go to and Lily not daring to tell her the truth.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens next.

Anyway if i have seen it right first years have a emerald gem on their tie second years have a sapphire gem on their tie and third years have a ruby in their tie, i assume it's these stones since it's a right girls school.

Alice has gone from loathing Lilisa to becoming a full-on tsundere.

Tina, known as the "Prince of Oushin" for her boyish charm and popularity, has her own issues. Though she comes off as cool and composed, her true personality tells a different story. After watching Lilisa and Otoha perform, she was mesmerized and wanted to join their band. When her vulnerable and unconfident side was revealed—along with her desire to play piano for them—Lilisa couldn’t bring herself to let her in, both because of Tina’s poor skills and her position as the student council’s vice president.

Loved the scene where Tina’s assets are revealed—no one would’ve expected she was packing that much—and Lilisa straddling her while Tina spoke about her embarrassment made it even better.

I always love when Otoha talks dirty about others doing dirty things with her—even if she’s actually talking about something else entirely, the way she says it makes it sound so wrong in the best way. I expected Tina to be introduced, but I didn’t expect Tamaki to appear in the same episode. Saying Tamaki has a sharp tongue wouldn’t be wrong, especially since Lilisa and Otoha are similar in that sense. Since Tamaki doesn’t like Lilisa, it’s going to be fun to see how that plays out.

Would love to see more of Tina’s vulnerable side and her hidden assets—hopefully she doesn’t turn into a barbarian like the others.

It's great to see this episode finally adds a new member, just like what Lilisa and Otoha wanted to build this band to be even bigger.

When I found out that Tina and Tamaki appeared at the same time in this episode, I can't express how happy I was because I've been waiting for them to appear. Their debut went well this time especially Tina's part, I think she'll gain fans faster than Tamaki now. I'll also of course look forward to how they'll unite into one crazy band.

This week we get to meet not one, but two, new band members.
Tina is such a fun character, what a gap between her public and private persona (she's relatively similar to Lilisa in that sense). She seems both adorable and quite quirky.
Tamaki, on the other hand, has a more abrasive personality as she openly declares her hostility to Lilisa from the start.

I was glad to see Oto defending Lily, feels like they've grown closer now with the nicknames and all.
Also, this is probably the episode with the most yuri vibes so far, loved in particular Lily being 'caught' in that position and trying to 'explain' to Oto, haha.

Another fantastic episode :)

Until she appeared:



Yes, someone got caught red-handed, and it wasn't once.







It was a fun episode. I can't wait for all of them to fight each other at the end of their first song, flipping fingers and so on.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Two new members joined the lesbian rock band, and one of them certainly has quite the front 😏.

Honestly, I found Tina's situation sad and almost disturbing. Seeing a girl her age acting that way immediately made me think that she must have been severely abused by her parents.

As for Tamaki, I'm not sure of her true personality. Lilisa, Otoha and Tina present themselves to the world as refined and elegant girls, but in reality they are completely different: one is obsessed with rock, one is chaotic and lesbian, and the last one is childish and borderline schizophrenic. But Tamaki plays hard to get, so if we follow the same pattern, maybe she's not as brutish as she seems.

Otoha didn't hesitate for a second before deciding to enter a battle of the bands, even though the group is not yet fully formed. They have yet to decide who will be the guitarist (although Tamaki plays bass in the OP), so there might even be a showdown for that role. As for Tina, maybe her other personality can play the piano, although I think since the corset is squeezing her boobs she can't play well, so take off the corset.

Oh so we’re getting two new band members back to back, I woulda liked ample time to get used to Tina but I guess she’s sharing the spotlight with Shiro/Tamaki. As for Tina, I already love her, it’s always the blue haired ones man, I don’t do it on purpose lol. I just really liked the juxtaposition of her outward appearance versus what she’s actually like, she had me fooled with that “prince” persona and her coolness, but she later turned out to be more cute and timid, even going as far as talking to a stuffed doll to make herself feel better lol, ngl that was kinda sad despite the comedic nature of it.

And it’s funny, I was thinking to myself “where are her boobs? The ED promised boobs!” but that ended up being part of her character, the fact that she binds them to keep up with the prince act, and boy did Lilisa discover them in the most epic of ways lol. But I’m guessing part of Tina becoming a member of the band and better at the keyboard will involve her learning to love herself more too, I’m thinking those magnum tiddies of hers are gonna actually be plot relevant for that reason and I’m all for it lol.

And since I went on so much about Tina, I’ll keep Tamaki a bit short, she’s cool and I like her style, and her past with Otoha is interesting, but I’m not the biggest fan of her attitude upon joining the band Lilisa and Otoha created. I’m sure Tamaki will come around and become a fan of Lilisa’s guitar playing herself, but first we gotta work out these issues, should be fun to witness.

I don't understand why anyone would hate this show. It's playing with those shoujo tropes in such fun ways. I just love the idea of the "prince" who is so secretly shy she needs to ventriloquize a plushie to speak her honest mind. I really didn't see that coming.

The band is all together! Let's get some rock on!

The group is finally complete with the introduction of Tina and Tamaki, Tamaki is the real(?) cool type character while Tina only acts as one, hiding her cute side.

Otoha refuses to leave Lilisa and instead recruited Tamaki into joining them as a support guitarist (tho she'll probably join officially anyways).

Next episode is definitely gonna be chaotic, these girls will definitely fight against each other.

Holy shit just found my best girl, a princely ojou sama with gap moe. +100 for the anime. Love Tina, she's so cute and she's stacked as well. Then there's the goth white hair karasu looking character, Shiraya. Like her as well. The guitar pick was hers. Wasn't expecting them to introduce both of them in the same episode but this speeds things up.

We picked up both of the remaining band members this episode, nice! They better get to practicing, asap. Isemi is going to need all the practice she can get, it seems. I didn't expect her to be bad at piano. I also didn't expect her to be so weird, lol. A pretty funny parody of the Girl's School Prince trope.

Another great episode.

I really like the personality of everyone in this band; I feel like they would naturally get along. Because, of course, everyone is an idiot to some extent. So, I get the feeling like Tamaki isn't just an aggressive person; she is almost certainly slow in the head in one way or the other. In any case, Tina is a wreck for sure. I'm really curious about how she will deal with the verbal abuse in this band; I'm sure she is more than capable of handling it. She hasn't unleashed her full power yet; that's the main point of her character. There's this theory I saw on Reddit that her chest binding is what made her piano playing so awful, and honestly? It feels completely like something this show would do.

And, that moves me onto my next point! This show keeps being unflinchingly ridiculous, which I love. The lesbian undertone can just be called the lesbian tone; it is smeared all over this anime in the form of flower petals and suspiciously romantically-minded girls at an all-girls academy. Rock is depicted as some metaphysical force that compels one to flip the bird and hurl insults. Tropes are constantly used for no good reason, which I suppose is the best reason. It's consistently hilarious.

Something tells me that having Otoha and Tamaki on the drums and the bass respectively is a terrible, or should I say AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IDEA !!!!! Nothing can go wrong with giving the rhythm section to the two most insane people, who also almost certainly have a rivalry with each other !!! These two will destroy Lilisa and Tina, but that's why we're watching.

This anime is plain dumb! Eps 3,4 gave some hope but eps 5, 6 are proof there is always more rock bottom... Whoever decided to send this dumb script, derived from a ridiculous manga, into animation AFTER (!) Girls Band Cry had aired was either delusional or just didn't care. Like everybody knows every secret among the cast but nobody knows the most trivial things. Bonus: banana slip fanservice, so how does the studio see us, as apes or monkeys?

Btw, have you noticed there wasn't any music performance in this episode? (Even though Modesty / Hobby is using covers, not originals like in GBC, so there should be an infinite supply of instrumental pieces for them to play. I wonder if there is a budget problem associated with using mocap tech? It's a miracle GBC wasn't axed for its many cost overruns...)

I loved the episode and I'm enjoying Alice's change in behavior towards her big sister, Lilisa. She had always been rude to her because of how much she hated her, seeing her as the daughter of a burglar cat who broke into their house to steal her dad's heart. But now, she’s actually starting to treat Lilisa like a big sister, which is so adorable.

Aside from Alice, I’m glad that Lilisa managed to join the student council, as it’s a big step forward toward her dream of becoming a noble maiden.

Lilisa’s dream aside, I’m also happy that Otoha and Lilisa finally got new members, which is exactly what they’ve been wishing for. I’m liking Tina much more than Tamaki, though, because Tamaki was very rude to Lilisa for no reason. I understand she’s biased against Lilisa because Lilisa is only joining the band for Otoha, but there’s no need to say such things to the band's members' faces. You’re literally asking to join them, and your fame doesn’t give you the right to be rude to others just because you think they’re inferior. If you act based on how you feel, people may call you bold and honest, but you’ll also be seen as cocky, rude, and childish.

In any case, I’m really excited to see how the band members are going to interact going forward, especially since they’ve got two new members—one of whom is a total newbie to instruments, while the other is a cocky brat.

So we get to meet our keyboardist, unfortunately she is not a rock genius like our two other main characters so they are going to have to work on that.
Shiro wants to join as guitar lead but Otoha has Lily's corner. Or at least I hope that is still the case. Shiro seemed adamant that she'd win over Otoha with her performance.
