When i first started watching this series my thoughts were, how can this compete with for example Love Live! School idol project, since that was the first "Music Anime" i watched, (i think?) Well let me tell you something, I was wrong. I can't compare it.
Show by rock is about a girl named Cyan, who is terrified of everything and everyone, her self-confidence is -10, what we get in this anime is the character development of Cyan and her group, combined with many other characters and groups all this in 12 episodes. This is the part where you'd think "Holy shit how is that possible, it has to be like very shallow!" Well you're wrong, if you listen and learn from the Character development episodes, you'll see that it is more deep than you'd ever thought.
I did not have high hopes for this anime, the only reason i started watching it, is because kissanime (Kissanime.com) described it as "A kitty girl wearing gothic lolita clothing" I got totally sold from that preparing my body only to watch that kitty girl.
Now that i've watched it i'd recommend it to anyone who likes anime. It doesn't matter what kind of genre they like, they will love this one aswell.
The problems this Anime had is following:
First off the cgi was insane i mean, it really looked kinda terrible, but when you get used to it or are used to cgi normally (which i wasn't) it turns out to be a very nice eye show.
Second, since the anime was very short they had to hurry up the story a bit, even though the CH. Dev. was amazing, the story took quite a hit and is very fast progressing. (imagine if the story was just amazing as the CH. Dev. Holy shite that'd be a favvy of mine)
Third, the music, now when you think about a music anime you'll think "Oh man! Alot of new music!" Well it's too bad that in this anime, they have too few music parts, this made me quite sad, making it only an "8" in enjoyment.
But overall it got a 9 which is quite nice actually.
Thank you for your reading hope you'll learn something from it atleast :)
