I'm late to the party but what did /v/ think of this anime?

>>280121261 (OP)
kill yourself

Liked it overall. It could certainly drag on (everything in the school that had no relation to music) and there were some dumb plot parts (Lilis mom, wanting to be noble maiden, Otohas motivation, not streaming the concert at the end...)
But overall, fun characters, great music, great energy (when it was about music). Even started to like the CGI. Maybe just got used to it.

An unsurprisingly shallow gimmick anime. I always hate it when there’s a musical scene in anime, which sounds nothing special, but the audience and the narration are like “WOOOWWW SO GOOD”. No, it’s fucking mediocre. The only musical anime with actually good performance are Kono Oto Tomare and Mashiro no Oto. nothing else.

>No, it’s fucking mediocre.
Yeah, that’s probably one of the series’ biggest flaws: the music is below mediocre. And it’s not because it’s instrumental; just listen to any random song played live by the Falcom jdk BAND (just to name one), and it sounds amazing.

>>280121261 (OP)
This anime really failed at making instrumental music appealing.
Except for the first two episodes it was pure "tell don't show", or rather "tell, try to show and completely miss it".

The audience were a bunch of normalcattle >>280121751 who don't care about music and only "liked" Bacchus for their looks in the first place. It makes sense that they'd switch to Rock Lady for equally superficial reasons. Rock Lady proved their point about how easy it'd be to win them over.

This ended way worse than expected.

>>280121862
It started worse than expected too.

It's just not suited to anime form, mangaka chose instrumental music specifically so he could have the characters monologue during it.
Hard to make the music good when you have a bunch of girls yap over it at pretty much all times.

It was okay. I like instrumental music, but "haha look at those ojous use naughty words" got pretty stale as a gimmick pretty quick. 7/10 for BAND-MAID and Tina.

2/10
This anime proves what I've been saying for decades, almost all western music is garbage, because at the end of the day the only thing that matters is who is singing the song and what the lyrics are saying, the music is never important. This is why anime songs are better, I don't know who is singing it or what they are saying, it just sounds nice.

>>280121261 (OP)
I liked it. The music was an afterthought, in the best tradition of K-ON, but the characters were memorable, the visuals were fun, and I really liked the humor.
It's like the author looked at the slew of visually samey idol-adjacent girl band anime, and decided to poke fun at them by making Detroit Metal City with that aesthetic. It's pure satire - the usual mild yuri undertones are cranked up to eleven with the girls practically banging each other on stage, the sparkly and dreamy performances are replaced with sweat and rage, and any sort of shame or idol appeal flies out the window at the earliest convenience, everyone is as foul-mouthed and crazy as they can be. This anime won't make you buy a guitar, because it's not selling a fantasy like Bocchi and such, they're laughing at it. And that's refreshing, I can see why it became popular.

The more I think about it, the less I liked this show. The build up to the band battles is entertaining in a shonenshit kind of way, but the payoff isn't worth it because the performances themselves are meh no matter how much they inform me otherwise. I'd rather it'd be SOL about their school shenanigans, because I at least kind of like the cast.

Loved it, hoping for a S2

Hated it, thank God there won't be an S2

Shit taste and retarded opinion

I liked it and then I went on /a/ and found out that everyone hates it and that the consensus is that it's shit

>>280121829
They really aren't convincing me they're that superior to the boy band when the audience is gushing about Rock Lady being good looking and cool rather than their music.

>>280122290
>>280121789
Well, yeah. Nearly all of mainstream western music nowadays is written by armies of professional musicians hired by producers to maximize it's spread so the lyrics are always at the end of the day insanely shallow and vapid but that's unfortunately what's necessary to get the attention of most amount of people. Now while Japan isn't completely innocent of that (see idol songs) you can definitely see a big difference of effort when a decent amount of the big mainstream songs in Japan still use real instruments when in the west it's 99% samples and highly produced instrument machines.

I will check these out. Thanks anon.

I can't think of a single element in this show that's even on par with Girls Band Cry, let alone better. The only possible exception is the voice acting for some characters, and that’s just because every VA in GBC was a newbie. The characters, the story, the storyboarding, the music, the audio mixing (holy shit, the audio mixing in this anime is awful), everything was worse.

>kita post
shan't read

>>280122059
Personally, I'd give it a 1/5. For a music anime, there's just not enough focus on the music, and even though the final episode was probably the only tolerable episode so far, the writing of Bacchus is embarrassingly bad.

>>280123876
>>280123392
3/10, agree with the music not getting enough attention, but I've been listening to a handful of instrumental bands anyway (not to mention vidya soundtracks) so I might be a little biased

>>280122290
even the biggest retards on mu wouldn't bring such an opinion

I thought no one actually watches girl band anime for the actual music but for the girls
This is probably the first anime of this type that I see criticised for the music itself

Stop making excuses for bad anime.
Every other music anime managed to get their point across.
Even fucking Haruhi delivered with God Knows.
