currently watching this with my gf while we parallel play lmao i love how the older u get the smaller u are
This final episode was actually good. It had high stakes, a good song, and great animation. Maple even felt useful, and the magical girl transformation had some nice emotional impact for the finale.
The villain is finally showing how dangerous he is. Even in a setting like this, the episode does some good foreshadowing for the final showdown, and something good is finally happening, but it still feels slow.
In this episode, ChuChu feels like an actual three-dimensional character, and it’s interesting that she is the one being affected and influenced by Dagger. There is a big reveal, though I guess it was foreshadowed from the start. The only issue is that ChuChu’s problem gets resolved pretty quickly.
This episode gives us more information about the villain, and ShinganCrimsonZ is, as always, the best part of the episode. There is finally some music to enjoy, and it’s good. We also finally get to see some truly villainous behavior from Dagger, which made everything suddenly more interesting.
This episode feels a bit basic. It has some interesting plot points, but overall it’s slow. The drama is fine, but it feels a bit dramatic, and almost nothing happened. There were no songs either.
Back to the episodic format, this one feels a bit like filler, but it has some good parts, like the unnerving village with the eyes, a new monster design, and more ShinganCrimsonZ, which is always good.
We’re finally seeing more plot here, and something is actually progressing. Maple seems kind of silly, but he’s actually important. It’s a mandatory beach episode, but in the end it kind of wasn’t, and I actually liked it.
There was some yuri bait and more plot in this episode, so something is actually happening. I thought there wasn’t going to be a new band, but even though there was one, there isn’t a new song to listen to
The structure of the episodes seems almost like a villain-of-the-week series, but with bands instead of villains. I didn’t like this episode’s song that much. This episode also had more fanservice.
Overall, the anime has felt a bit episodic so far, but Plasmagica’s song is actually quite good, and I can see myself listening to the songs outside of the anime.
This episode feels a bit disconnected, as if it is moving from point A to point B without anything to connect the plot. The comedy remains fine overall, and the ShinganCrimsonZ song was the best part of the episode.
This episode makes the anime seem like it’s going to be a musical. The 3D graphics are fine overall; they’re simple but memorable. It seems a bit over the top, but I shouldn’t expect less from a fantasy musical anime. The comedy is fine overall too.
And that's a wrap! Amazing music anime from start to finish, perfectly closes any loops for the plot, and even gives us a satisfying arc for many of the characters involved with the protagonist. It's so fun, cute, and the music pieces are all bangers!
This penultimate episode really didn't hold back especially at the second half! Beautiful music and the tension of the truth behind this festival was a nice mix that I enjoyed watching, as it really immerses you into the problem Cyan must solve. There's a huge hype moment close to the end as well - it'd be spoilers if I said more but it's so GOOD!
I was definitely at the edge as the episode went on. The tension between Chuchu and the band members was palpable as it went on. This anime really excels with tightening the foundation between character interactions so that scenes like these that build up over time feel more real.
We finally get to hear Plasmagica's new song! Lots of exciting development here as well, with how the girls are finally able to see themselves as performers. And that surprising ending got me on the edge of my seat -- there's no way I'll be skipping out on the finale.
I might have a bit of misgiving with how an issue got resolved in this episode, but considering how strong the bonds are between the bands under BRR, it's probably not that surprising it happened like so. It was a believable tension between passionate friends too which was refreshing to watch. Much to look forward to now that we're heading to the end!
This episode got me hooked! A thrilling scene hinged on a different band instead of Cyan... the execution of the entire fight was excellent! There's more to come from here are sinister plots are back on the move once again.
It's BRR's company vacation time! While Plasmagica surely had a lot to work on, Shingan had the manliest time on their end. I like how there's that balance between both so that there's some breathing room for when the girls talk about their feelings and lay it all bare before they move forward. It's so cute, endearing, and also hilarious!
