Man if only my school are like that.

Anyway I just really love the attention of detail that are shown here. This might be Bushiroad most ambitious anime yet really.

I just love how absurd anything that Rinku does. Sasuga someone that are raised in jungle. Also I'm hopping Rei and Muni will join soon. Seems Muni is next and Rei is last.

Oh Movement is also made cameo here though not with Rondo.

Episode 2 is out on YT, no English subs.



Rinku's introduction to DJ mixing from Maho, but it's clear that the newbie's knowledge list is little to none, so...time for some education and hard dedication from the expert! Maho, you've worked hard from your panda eyes...

A DJ mixing competition, that's too soon to have one, but better be equipped sooner than never. You can tell the difference if you've heard enough mixing in all aspects, and it's not a surprise that they got the first position and their very own show to shine.

That's Peaky P-Key's Kyoko there...

Great episode once again, so there is a remix contest in this school "remicon" with a lot of DJ... wow that's sure interesting I hope that they'll take first place next time, and they did their first representation, it was really good to be honest, I can't wait to see the next episode

Watched it on CR. Good ep. once again. A bit more background about how DJing works and Rinku is a decent singer. Though, my main hope is that we'll get at least one performance from Rondo this season. I like them the most.

I really like the fact that this anime makes really great use of 3D animation. The characters' faces and movements, especially that of Rinku, look so alive and expressive.

This show's probably going to be another underdog this season because of how late it aired, but nevertheless, I'm invested.

Much better episode than the first one. I'm still a little uncomfortable with the randos having Argonavis art style, but the rest of it has been solid

Pretty great episode. The 3D animation is still looking real clean. The music actually fits in well unlike this season’s Love Live Nijigasaki, where they just throw in a song at the end. I don’t know how Rinku could sing that song with the lyrics going by as fast as they were, so hats off to her. I like how the future other members of Happy Around! are being teased throughout the episode. Rondo getting a brief mention was neat. Also interested in seeing how much more Peaky P-Key will play into this show, as they’re one of my favorite groups. Not really any mention of Photon Maiden though, for some reason. Probably in the next couple episodes we’ll get to see more of the side groups. Excited for next week’s episode.

not as good as episode 1, I think the pacing had some issues, and I thought her ability to sing was a little convenient, but it was a nice episode either way, I've already dedicated myself

First of all I feel bad for the background chars...they don't have that kira kira eyes like the DJs. They deserved a little love as well, a DJ without crowd and fans is lonely.

Second I have to point out what a fantastic school they have...holy moly all the DJ equipment must be expensive as hell and all the different DJ rooms. Really WOW WAR.

Rinku reminds me totally of Kokoro (from BanG Dream!), she is always happy as well and sometimes a little slow in the head...totally like Kokoro-chan. But the seiyuu itself is not in the band Hello Happy World, she is Nanami form Morfonica (I really hope for S4 with Morfonica, their music is sooo good).

Well let's learn more about how to DJing!

Second episode is finally here, and I think was a very nice step up from the already good first impression!

I appreciated the basic explanation on how to do DJ activities, Rinku's rhythm sense is great and she could be a nice one, but dancing is definitely the most fun for her.

Talking about Rinku, holy shit, she was eating through the whole episode haha, I loved how she just randomly searched for dance moves, and started eating popcorn all seriously while learning the "popcorn" move.

Maho's dead inside look after not sleeping last night was something else, her efforts didn't get her a top 5 spot in the contest, but did well enough to get the rookie mention, really happy for her.

I was pleasantly surprised that their first performance actually went smoothly, I'm too used to them being painful to watch q_q

Next episode has me excited, can't wait for the Muni focus!

I enjoyed this episode overall as well, especially the live performance.

However, some of the issues I commented on last episode still bother me.

-Not sure if it's due to budget or the art style of this series (though I never noticed this during Bang Dream by the same studio), but everything is so BARE. All the walls have nothing on them, rooms are huge and empty, Maho's bedroom is sparsely decorated. Nothing feels "lived in" and it all ends up looking really clinical.

-The background characters are kind of hilariously ugly/plain.

-The timing of transitions between scenes and just the pacing within scenes themselves seems off to me. There are so many moments during this episode where there is a still frame for at least 3~ seconds while a character listens to something or watches something. I understand that with this animation style there might not be as much room for dynamic movement, but it feels way more lifeless than it should (especially because the main characters are animated so well in general).

I like how Rin and Maho pair with each other.. Maho is good at mixing and the dj stuff, while Rin handles the singing and dancing to the music. :)

Well, that's a lot of people for a first concert. I'm sure they will get more popular once those who enjoyed their show start spreading the word.

hmm, looks like the next member is good at drawing.

looking forward to next week!

Great chapter, Rinku is so cute and fun to watch! and I love the song Kibun Joujou so, for me, this was amazing, their remix with Rinku's voice really made me feel happy!

I still find totally hilarious when they make 3D animes but use 2D characters for background, but it's kinda weird they did it with the bar/cafe attendants, but not with the random students.

Oh, and just wtf is wrong with their school? it's fkng massive! they could easily fit an entire country inside lol


Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

What surprises me is that this show has over 400 comments under each episode so far, but here it only got 18 in a week.

Good, they've already launched the first performance. Its sounds fun, and made my body all hype up. No kidding. I just simply love the dynamic interaction between Rinku and Maho. Its kinda pessimistic while they announced their first performance. But, so glad, its not turn out to be bad. Unfortunately those pink girl had a bad attitude there. I hope i can see her view again in the later episode. Good episode, and a very pleasant to be watched and listened. The sounds were not so loud and very smooth, while the art and CG so far were so enjoyable.

Well, its looks like, in the background, a girl already been attach to them. Its might be a potential member to join Rinku and Maho unit, in the next episode. So, really looking forward to see their next interaction.

So, as someone who is interested in DJing, and has been for years, and even just recently bought a DJ Controller, to start learning,I found this show late, but it's peaked my interest.

I'm not really a fan of the 3D animation, because it moves to junky for me but, whatever.

So, the gear that Maho uses is based on real DJ gear... and by based I mean, it's literally real gear with the Pioneer DJ wordmark removed.

The jogwheels are Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2's (https://www.pioneerdj.com/en-us/product/player/cdj-2000nxs2/black/overview/) which retail for $1,999 USD. And that's per unit. Next, the mixer is a Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 4-channel mixer (https://www.pioneerdj.com/en-us/product/mixer/djm-900nxs2/black/overview/) which retails for $2,199 USD, and finally the software she's using is Rekordbox, Pioneer's exclusive DJ software, which comes free, but also has a paid version.

This is the type of gear you're likely to find in clubs, or in the possession of professional DJs, who have been DJing (and been getting paid well too) for years.

@LUNI_TUNZ,

That's the beauty of the show! The attention to detail! It doesn't hurt that Pioneer DJ are one of the sponsors. I was also suprised Club Mogra was too, me being an hobbyist/enthusiast 'anison' DJ.

DJ Mash and Link managed to be pick by pure luck in Remicon despite not getting a Top 5 slot.

And what's awesome is their performance in the school. That "Feeling Good" song is also great, this anime is really strong with its songs.

We delve deeper inside the world of DJ’s and it was awesome to see the first performance and surprisingly it went better than expected and the remix for the song was really well done.

Ayo they played Paripi Koumei ending song in this episode. I thought it only belonged to that anime LOL. It was quite surprising.

Came for the meme, possibly staying for the music.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.
