----------------------------------------
So not only is Cyan going training for her song...SHINGANCRIMSONZ is also looking for their own way to make things right.

A good amount of development for both sides I guess. Those Cyan tears though. I have hope that she'll make it work. I mean, she has to and I think she has the chance. I really hope so....but I think she still need a bit more confidence. Cyan's training montage was amusing to watch. Of course she also would have the support of her friends. Lucky girl.

This episode was boring and fill with too much filler.

It this was just about Cyan and boring Crimson then the episode would be better.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

"too much filler"??
If you didn't like it why don't you just drop it? Be reminded that this is based on a rhythm game with little storyline.

As a person who play the game I'm already happy to see half of the bands get animated in this season.

You mean animation that fell apart after two episodes from season 1? I mean it's not a bad show..and uh I kind of finished season 1...so that mean I kind of sorta like it? Also why would I drop a show that I am nearly done with? That makes no sense.

It isn't that I don't like Show by Rock it doesn't do enough with what it has. Yes I know this is base off some game and stuff...but Free was base off a 30 second commercial. So yeah no excuses. Just because the rhythm game no storyline doesn't mean the people behind the story can't be creative. I found this episode to be lacking since it couldn't focus on its MC and Boring Crimson without having to randomly cut to other characters. I think you should want more from something that just having it subpar animated.

Well... i think you should at least know that Free! was based off a novel which was published in 2011, before the 30 seconds commercial existed?

I get what you meant, but it's really not that simple to have a smooth outcome of a plot when they try to squeeze more characters from the game to a 12-episodes-per-season show. As of now, about 15 out of 26 bands were animated. So i think you should not expect that they won't cutoff from the main storyline again to make more rooms for "new" charas.

But then they are just creating a logjam. I understand wanting to get these bands in the anime but it is at the risk of the story. They shouldn't be ordering 12 episodes for this show if they are trying to have this many characters.

I was soooo happy to see Dolly Dulci in this anime as they're probably my favorite band in the game. But seeing my favorite adorable otter is super awesome too and ahhhh even more adorable animated! Help my soul.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

ShinganCrimsonz just blasted off like Team Rocket.

The special training Cyan was doing with King was rather interesting.

That was a very touching scene there at the end.
