| still the CGI is world better than in Arslan Senki :P stll strongly dislike it tho. anyways..this isnt really for me so imma pass on this. |
| Like many have already said, the CGI was weird. The transition between that and the normal animation was even more so. Instead, if they were to even use SD style, that would've been more appropriate. Anyways, ridiculous start. The MC suddenly got transported to another world without any acceptable notion and she just ignored it over the hype of joining the band. This is starting the feel like a kid show. (Is it really?) O.o The last part with UVM agency's Boss scheming to take over the Sound Cosmos almost caught my attention until it also turned comedic towards the end. Hopefully, it'll actually be a serious thing of the show. The OP and ED songs are cute, but that is all. I expected better from Bones. |
 |
| After watching this I'm so confused This is probably one of the cutest animes I've ever seen |
 |
| Incredibly detailed animation, good music, and adorable chibi animals. I'm definitely gonna' stick with this show. 8) Lmao @ all the CG haters. This CG is actually very good, imo. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| The 3DCG is strange, but after doing a bit of research before the anime aired, it was based on a mobile game, and the original character designs look like vectorized sprites... As expected from the "kawaii side" of Sanrio. If they went for that route, you will get that MLPFIM kind of feel, and I don't know if you guys are into that style too (AKA Flash). Plus the 3D models look pretty nice. I can sense that these can be re-usable to 3D Printers and sell them as figurines. (PLEASE LET THAT HAPPEN!!!) I was trying to think that the "human perspective" was from the "lens" of Cyan, but that theory debunked after Cyan was thrown back to MIDI City and says that "she is back to normal"... 90% of it if using the infamous furry scale. xD But everything else is enjoyable. I was happy for a MUSIC GAME to get turned into a anime! It's super cute still and obviously this anime is aimed towards young teenagers, hence Maple had a guilty pleasure for being tortured by heels and his sexy secretary Angelica. *cough* (Why...) Otherwise: Trichronika being pretty badass (even in super kawaii forms) for a good sum and then Cyan saves them BY THE POWER OF ROCK! It's close to a magical music genre I guess? I am glad that this did not turn out to be another K-ON/Love Live because I love a bit of action to! (I never seen either, but if it's just slice of life with a goal on "becoming super stars" without something else that tickles my fancies... Yea.) Now to wait for the Shining CrimsomZ musicals. *Watched their shorts before* P.S. Also watching this because I want more kemonomimi anime. |
 "Everyone go love Cyan!" |
| Uh... this is not at all what I was expecting. This is easily one of the dumbest stories I've seen in quite a while. I guess I'll keep watching for the 2D bits since the protagonist is a cutie. |
 |
| Sanrio created Hello Kitty. Animals were unavoidable. |
 |
| I liked it, even the CGI. It was weird but I got used to it very quickly! |
 |
| The show might not be great but the cast of voice actors is certainly amazing. I'll keep watching under that base. |
| That was great! I really enjoyed this first episode. Although the transitions between 2d and 3d were kinda weird the CGI animation was good. And I LOVE the designs for the characters, both human and animal. They're just so cute! I guess all the people complaining came looking for moe and loli and that's why they're so disappointed. For now the show looks good, I'll definitely keep watching. |
| Wtf did I just watch? The CGI was horrible. I don't think I can keep watching this. =/ I though it would be some "cute girls doing cute things" + music but... don't even care anymore. |

|
| is this series for kids? because I'm confused (does anyone know at what time it airs?). it feels like they decided to take plusies from Precure and put them in world of Precure/PriPara... with some CGI that take some time to get used to. and since I enjoy kids show way better than any late night anime I would like it to follow that path. |
| i'm so pleased. This episode was amazing: cool direction, cute 3D and kakkoi OST. Angelica best girl, SBR confirmed best anime of the season |
| One huge advertisement. But unlike some other "good" advertisements like The iDOLM@STER this show seems like it doesn't a bit for the audience who don't play the game. Then I hope the fan base is large enough for you to recover the cost, or is it just a passion project like Shingeki no Bahamut? |
NotDolphy said: The CG is incredibly smooth so I'm not sure why its getting so much hate. "Every shows with CG in it are bad" mentality That's probably the reason |
Dalek-baka said: is this series for kids? because I'm confused (does anyone know at what time it airs?). It isn't a kids' series, unlike Sanrio's other projects, this one is aimed older males. It airs at 10pm in Japan, so it is a late night anime. |
 |
| I feel like watching a Pixar movie |
 |
| Try as hard as they did, but those 3d furry things had next to no expression on their faces. Not to mention that the mixture of 2d and 3d looks dreadful v_v |
 |
| Already my favorite of the season. |
| I like it! |

The character design for the CGI part was horrible. Didn't watch Sidonia but as for Arpeggio I at least liked the characters. Not that it's bad just for being weird since there are lot of great shows that are weird, it just didn't sit right with me. |

BeatlesPkmnFan42 said: As someone who plays the game, I'm amused at all the surprised reactions toward the battling premise. This is why you should probably research what an anime is based on before setting expectations lol. In any case, I really loved this. There are a few things I noticed that contradict what occurs in the game, however. The first and most obvious to fans of the game being that there are no items in SB69, yet Cyan got a guitar in the game? Makes me wonder if this will be added in a later update or if the game in-universe is simply different from the game in reality. Another difference is that the monster in this battle is only fought when playing Shingan CrimsonZ's songs, yet when Cyan was playing the game she was playing a Plasmagica song (speaking of, how was a song sung by her in the game before she was sucked into it?), and it was later fought by Trichronika in the episode. A little weird, but I guess inaccuracies are inevitable when basing an anime off of a game, so I can't complain too much. The animation looked really nice, the CG was very fluid. I found Maple to be hilarious, and was laughing nearly every time he was on screen. I'm curious to find out more about that Angelica character. She's not in the game at all, I wonder if a later update with add her anywhere in the game or if she'll just be an anime-exclusive character. I also wasn't expecting Cyan's guitar to talk. That caught me a bit off-guard. In any case, I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing the other bands. And I really hope we see more besides the ones already revealed. There are 20 bands in the game, currently only 5 are confirmed to be appearing. I doubt we'll be seeing any of the bands based on real bands and artists though, which is a shame because some of them are my favorites (Chammy Chaplets and Rapezziauto especially), but we may end up seeing the other bands made exclusively for the game. I really hope Shizuku Secretmind and StuddoBan Gyasshu in particular make an appearance, as they're some of my favorite from the game. It'd also be pretty cool if Baiganba V were to appear in the anime. Despite me already being fully aware that this is aimed at an older audience despite being made by Sanrio (hell, Rapezziauto's song NAKED from the game is blatantly about sex), I was still amused by Maple bleeding and being whipped by Angelica. Sorry about this being so long, I went on longer than I intended to. It's just that I'm a Sanrio fan so I was looking forward to this a lot. That and I've been playing the game for hours a day ever since I got it two months ago. Also I swore I had an account already on this site but I attempted to log in with every username I would have had but to no avail, so I had to make another account. You technincally saved the show for me. I thought it was just some random transition to a different world without explaining anything. But now that i know its based on a game, it makes more sense now |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| That really tricked me. For the first few minutes you totally think you know where it's going, then it takes a strange turn. Very weird, never seen that kind of CG in an anime. It's more like Jimmy Neutron or other 3d cartons then standard anime CG. Hmmm, this could get boring fast, or stay interesting. |
 |
| Personally, on the CGI, I think it's some of the better CGI I have seen in an anime and it really reminded me of something you would see in a video game. I thought to myself as I watched it, that it would make a great game. Turns out it is actually game lol. Anyway, this anime is certainly not what I expected, but ... unlike some here, that is a good thing. It turned out to be a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. This was not only funny but ... holy crap is it sooooo damned cute. Best... music anime ... EVER! |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| The main characters (not the cg stuff) are pretty cute. But what did I just watch? Is this even a show I should watch? It looks like a genuine kids show. idk |

Although there's no CG in the game, in the game the characters are just shown as drawings that move up and down slightly as you play the song lol. ThreePointer said: The main characters (not the cg stuff) are pretty cute. But what did I just watch? Is this even a show I should watch? It looks like a genuine kids show. idk Last I checked, kids' shows didn't have blood and what seems to be a BDSM thing going on. But no, it's not. It's aimed at older males and adults, unlike Sanrio's other work, which are actually aimed at children. This however, is not. |
|
| Well...best CG I've ever scene in any anime I've ever watched. I will give it that. |
| Geezus do you guys even know the difference between CGI and 3d models? :( The skeleton scenes were CGI and were AMAZING :O I want a whole action movie in that quality, specifically toriko XD The 3d models are what you have problems with.  |
 |
| I have no clue what I just watched, but the art was adorable and the 3D animation was just stunning. I'm so impressed by the quality, it's just so great. Definitely going to keep watching this. I hope it keeps being and looking this good. EDIT: WOW the comments here at negative! Everyone is butt hurt this didn't turn into a typical yuri-esque girl band anime, but I am so pleased that it didn't. It's such a shame that this is attracting such a negative audience. Hopefully it does better in Japan. |

| The melodisian stone things reminded me of Madoka. Hopefully this isn't as shit as Madoka. |

| I liked it at first, but when it shifted to 3d, I was like NOPE. Dropped to the pits of hell. |

| Let's just say I have a feeling this is amazing, somewhere, somehow. |
| WTF is this? looks like i`m watching Disney Pixar movie. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| I was worried this was going in a K-On direction at first, but it went full batshit. Plus cute character designs, decent CG, and good music? I'm totally on board. They totally got me to look up some of the bands in the game (and the bands they are based on) and the songs, so I have a strong desire to play the game now. If that's what they were trying to achieve, I'd call it a success. Needless to say, this went in a pleasantly unexpected direction and I'm loving every bit of it. |
| The 3d CGI looked okay, but I just dislike too much of it in my Chinese cartoons. Anyway, this was a positive suprise. I love these campy, over the top shows and it reminded me of Symphogear a bit. Certainly more fun than FSN, Seraph and all the other edgy, tryhard shows though. |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| wot da fudge 0_O ?! That was totally unexpected in a kinda good way.. |
| I think bizarre is the best way to describe this show. |
