Gekidol

I am... speechless. This ain't no regular idol show, this is Neon Genesis Gekidol 😭 No, no, I'm saying all that for a reason. From the very beginning, something felt off. We're introduced to all these characters with zero clues and zero explanations. We just have to sit there and watch with absolutely no context. We don't understand why Seria keeps crashing out, we don't know what the "Doll" even is... what's all this supposed to mean? Yeah, they don't give us a single explanation. It's basically the anime saying, "Figure it out yourself." At first, I thought the anime was mainly going to explore topics like teenage depression, trauma, and mental health. And yeah, those themes are definitely there... until this anti-hero lud shows up and starts explaining his dream. But man... everything that happened in Episode 12 felt really familiar (The 3rd) The fluids, the reset, and everything else... I don't know, is this just Evangelion's idol spin-off? The concept is honestly really cool, though. Imma rate it GET IN THE DAMN ROBOT SEIRA/10. Well, you tell me. Was this finale special for you or nah?

I think I've finally seen the red line... So Kaoru is...? Ye nah, watch it yourself lud. This episode contains almost everything. Every major mystery finally gets explained. Well, not all of them, but the biggest ones for sure. Emotional? Hmm... yeah, I got goosebumps, but it didn't hit me that hard. Plus, watching "Someone" throw hands was all I needed in an idol anime 💀 It rarely happens, and somehow it actually fits. That said, this episode is still way too gray for me. So... how's the ending? Let's find out in Episode 12.

YOW BRO, MY GOAT HAS A DEEP BACKSTORY AS WELL... or was it a tragic love story?!?! Damn, now I'm wondering what really happened between the three of them based on her diary. Istg this anime is an absolute expert at ending every single episode with a cliffhanger. If this anime were still on-going, I would've crashed tf out waiting every week. We still haven't gotten an explanation about the doll or Miki and Kaoru's connection, so yeah... only two more episodes to go.

They being a school idol now ? we deadass rn 😭😭 pure joke btw, it's a nice thing to see they have a fresh start. OK BUT WHERE DID MY GOAT GO, LEND ME KAORUN BACCCKKK!!!!!

Oh yeah? Really? Pulling such a faggin' yuri move right in front of your ex-partner? What a damn menace💀💀💀 Man... it's always love. Even the kindest and purest thing can become such a painful thing to deal with. I'm not judging Takezaki for doing all that, though. He had his own reasons. Trauma is more than enough to explain everything that happened. This anime is genuinely a genius, ngl. Btw Kaorun, please stay safe and healthy. Gah damn, she's my GOAT.

I was wondering why this anime had the " dreamlike " genre tag... WHAT EVEN IS THIS EPISODE, DAWGGGG?!! SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED. First, they hit us with the chill vibes, then the yuri, AND MOST OF ALL... THEY WENT FULL JUJUTSU SHENANIGANS😭😭😭 JUST WATCH IT, AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. The lore is definitely a rabbit hole- a really dark one. If my theory is right, that damn doll is a planet level threat, gng. However, once again, I absolutely love the animation LMAO. All those shenanigans made everything feel so alive, and it looked amazing throughout.

NO CAP, the foreshadowing at the beginning was a straight up Breaking Bad move. It perfectly sets the tone for how the rest of the episode is about to unfold. We finally got a clear explanation of what happened to Seria and learned more about her backstory. IT GOES WAY DEEPER THAN I EXPECTED. Was it trauma? Probably... I don't even know. You watch it and tell me. THAT ASIDE IM STILL SO PISSED OFF BY HOW SERIA WAS IN THIS EPISODE. Don't even ask about the animation at this point. It's still as good as ever.

OW HELL NAWHHH, WHY IS SERIA BECOMING SO DELULU?!?! AND THIS DOLL IS STRAIGHT UP NO GOOD FOR HER, ONG... She should've just left it as a doll dang it. I'm not really sure what the anime is trying to say here. Is it referencing being "ruined by AI"? Or is it something else ? Honestly, I can't tell because the story doesn't make its message very clear (that's just how it is, trust the process). The animation quality is still awkwardly fluid and really pretty, though. I just don't like how abruptly Seria's character shifted in this episode. It's like watching Nagi suddenly decide to make a "Pass".

WHAT IN HEISENBERG'S CHEMICAL POT IS THIS?!?!?! WHAT WAS THAT YURI TO DEPRESSION BUILD UP FOR??!?! WHAT IS THIS EPISODE EVEN ABOUT???? I MEAN, SURE, WE GOT SOME EXPLANATIONS... BUT FOR WHAT EXACT REASON??!?! AND WHY?!?! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO SERIA?!?! 😭😭😭 N-no, don't get me wrong. This episode isn't bad at all. In fact... what if I told you this is only the beginning? The iceberg is still waiting beneath the surface.

Thank you, Gekidol... "Huh, Gekidol?" Urm.. yeah, because... you're doing theater and you're an idol.. LMAO, THIS EPISODE WAS SO WHOLESOME AND SILLY, YK. I genuinely loved it so much. The animation quality, the overall vibes, and especially the music all felt noticeably better than the previous two episodes. Oh yeah, a little tip from me, i was watching the first two episodes while having a fever, so that probably affected how I perceived the atmosphere, so yeah please get better first guys, focus on your health than forcing yourself watching anime 😭 But ngl, that yellowish dim filter is still the most uncanny thing about this anime. PLUS! I just realized how beautiful the ending ost is, it's genuinely stunning.

What a way to wrap things up! The final act resolves the buildup from this episode. The final performance animation is absolutely breathtaking and clearly where the budget went. The pacing was flawless. Here, it never drags for a single second. I walked away feeling extremely satisfied with the conclusion.

The suspense is basically suffocating at this point. The buildup is masterfully done. It makes the pace feel exactly like a ticking clock running out of time. The lighting in the animation really sets an eerie mood. I felt a wild mix of dread and pure hype watching the events right before the big finale.

This episode is one of my favourites. The character acting through the animation is top-tier. It captures every little subtle gesture and tear. It moves slowly to let the gravity of the storyline sink in. I got quite emotional watching this episode.

The episode shows escalading of the storyline. The pacing is relentless, tossing a ton of conflict at the viewer but in a really thrilling way. The visual effects are super cool, and they add to the chaotic vibe. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time trying to process the intense visuals.

Taking a step back, the show gives us a pleasant breather episode before the final part arrives. The pace is relaxed. It leans firmly into a comfortable style. Visually, it is very cute and colourful. I just leaned back and enjoyed the peaceful interactions. Still, the underlined tension is well-presented too.

The energy in this episode is off the charts. The animation is incredibly fluid, especially during the intricate choreography segments. It moves fast and gives a huge rush of excitement. Definitely one of the absolute most fun episodes so far. This leaves me hyped up.

Backstory time! The transition between the past and present is handled smoothly, keeping the pacing solid without feeling disjointed. The art style looked exceptionally polished during the flashback sequences. The characters' motivations felt really invested.

This one caught me completely off guard. There is a shift in the atmosphere, and the animation reflects that with noticeably darker shading and lighting choices. The story speeds up, and throws me off. I felt a bit anxious, but I was completely glued to the screen to see what would happen next.

This one is a much-needed lighthearted episode that focuses heavily on group bonding. The visual quality takes a slight dip in the middle scenes, but it totally recovers at the end. This moves at a brisk, energetic pace that perfectly matches the cheerful mood. Honestly, this episode gives me a perfect slice of life vibe.

The tension definitely ramps up here. The animation truly shines in its depiction of the girls' subtle emotional expressions. It moves at a very steady pace. This gives just enough time for the drama to land properly. I found myself actively engaged in the plot. It was a highly enjoyable watch from start to finish.
