So like hardcore Bocchi The Rock ?

I don't dislike how the CG actually looks but I'm not feeling the music... might give it a chance anyway.

After watching both music videos I do think the songs are better when what the normally get from Poppin Party in Bang Dream but not as good as the ones from some other bands there (or as recent Bocchi the Rock songs).

The question is will it be an actual series or something akin to the recdnt Pole Princess with just a bunch of MVs and shoerepisodes with a story.

Forgot the 2nd video. I thought it was me at first but the mix seems to be kinda... off on both songs. Vocals really low and the guitar a bit too prominent.

Bocchi music is much better.

BTW, is this gonna be 3DCG?

[Nachtwandler]

You know, Bang Dream only benefited from switching to CGI as it allowed them to make performances almost every episode without working the staff to death, so it will be the least concern. But it is hard to say as the second MV is not CGI.

What can I say. Bang Dream has way better CGI than this.

I actually really like how the final CGI turned out but no one has picked this up for simulcast so all we have is meme subs in English. First episode was promising enough; I'll stick with it for now, assuming we continue to get subs.

The CG reminds me of the later seasons of RWBY, pretty good as far as the CG scale goes. The setup looks to be in the direction of MyGo.

[Nachtwandler]

It was actually pretty good. But no official English subs and no decent fansubs either. I will still try watching it but eh...

[stray]

I'm not sure I'm feeling this after the second episode especially when the only real option is memesubs. The CG quality seems to have dipped and none of the girls introduced so far is that likeable, moreover the lead is quickly becoming insufferable. I might give it another episode.

Subaru that seen an easy girl actually a complex background about the granddaughter of famous actress.
I like they turn a confession yuri act in an opportunity to talk since Nina is having a lot development

I wanted to get some opinions on that. For the first episode, I polished off my 43 year-old French lessons and got a general sense of what was happening. The English subs available at Nyaa are so full of people flaming each other in the comments that I haven't wanted to try any of them.

In your humble opinions, is this show worth the grief of finding a watchable version, or am I better off just sticking with the many other shows about girls in showbiz that are running this season?

There is a decent sub (but without lyrics) that comes out within a day and a more decent one that comes later.

And yes, IMHO, unless you hate CGI or this kind of music the show is really worth the watch.

Okay, I've watched the first episode again, with English subs this time. And honestly, the description that came to mind was, "This is D4DJ: The Dark Side."

[KitsuKyouno]

Throw each other drink is something heavy but since Nina could react as expect of a Rock star show she had a good development and her bond with Momoka is older when she was in that Idol group,

[Nachtwandler]

I liked the new song less than the previous two, but the performance by our Liar, Coward and Dropout trio was pretty cool. The twist with a new DD vocalist was pretty predictable (though, I was sure it will be a girl who bullied Nina, but seems like it was just a former friend who did not took her side).

New arrangement of DD song indeed sounded more "poppy" but I wonder if the staff is trying to jab Bang Dream here with their approach to girl-bands here?
