Photon Maiden is well trained in their singing and dancing, but saki wants to try and make her own music! They need that extra something, that different color to improve. Saki's song is approved! This style of photo maiden is so good! The Visuals were ingeniuous!

Needed to see some good 3dcg after seeing Ex-Arm episode 1 last week.

I feel sorry for Photon. Must be hard having a company on your back, wanting you to do well, and produce results. Compared to it being for fun reasons in Happy around. Not that the members of Photon can't have fun, but they have to do well. So makes me happy seeing them, mainly Saki wanting to step out of their usual comfort zone, and chasing something they want to be good at. Gave a bit more character to Saki and PM members in general, and I loved it.

A good episode, a diff episode since it was focused on a different group, but it was fairly welcomed for sure. With a lovely new song to boot.

This is Galaxy Express 999 Photon Maiden ver for those who are curious. You can find MV of other unit in my other thread.



There are lot of Merm4id this episode. We will see them in season 2 I guess or at least in the Petit Mix later.

The focus is on PM this time. They really are good at spreading focus like this which I like.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Episode 11 is out!



Well, if that wasn't an easy and predictable win for Happy Around!. Now they have to face against the other groups.

Momma Raychell at least is kind to Photon Maiden, so it's a good lesson.

Rei's song "Brand New World" truly speaks volumes of HappyAra's image, and casts the group in a different light, a diversive one.

The moment when "Galaxy Express 999" came in, I knew that it would be the perfect challenge for Saki, creating her own cover of the song under "DJ Doragon" moniker, but that isn't enough to capture attention...press F for respect.

Turning into Saki the Stalker, that is a wild goose chase to pursue Maho down to acquire for some remix help. And don't get started on the Saki X Maho DJ ship. As if that's not enough, Rei and Aya hitting it off with their awkward blushing conversation, and all that compiles Photon Maiden's rehash of an image, inspired from Happy Around!.

Let the -Rebiirth- take control for a VIP remix! Photon Update Complete!

Photon Maiden starts to move forward, making their own song, and try something different than usual. Which the result turn out to be good. Their new remix is great, I really like it.
Saki stalking Maho is very funny. I hope it could be a bit longer than that.

That whole DJ DRAGON remix plot was really interesting.
Also it's nice to see more of Photon Maiden with their representation at then.
It was a risk to take but they did well, the live remix was great!

Very good chapter. I liked the direction they gave Photon Maiden. Oh and by the way, I screamed like a fangirl when I saw a few seconds of Merm4id on the screen.

Yet another fantastic episode. Got to see some character development for some of the Photon Maiden members. I like how Saki decided it was a good idea to take a page out of Happy Ara’s book and do a song unlike the unit’s status quo. Something like that always leads to great creativity and it pays off here with a great song. For some reason I didn’t like Photon Maiden’s music before the anime but after they showed up in the show, their music has become some of my favorite music out of all 6 total groups in the franchise. I guess Photon Maiden isn’t really “competition” for Happy Ara anymore so Maho was more than fine with helping Saki out. However, I don’t think stalking Maho was the best course of action lol. There were a nice couple of nods to Merm4id here, which is nice to see. I guess next week we’ll be seeing some more development for Rinku and Muni and their friendship. Cant wait.

Lovely episode! I'm glad that the defeat to Hapiara was just the start of a way stronger Photon Maiden. I already loved the original Akatsuki and they did one extra step to make it shine brighter.

Shinobu going from "who cares about those noobs" to full interest towards Hapiara's performances is so cute, that blushing face hnggg.

Merm4id cameo! Now both Rondo and them appeared for a moment in the D4DJ anime, only the Lyrical Lily girls left, since I guess the last episode will be the Sunset Stage event I hope that maybe they show up there, I want to see best girl Kurumi already q_q

Smug Noa was the moment of the episode, yep yep.

Another great episode, loved the attention Photon Maiden got this time around. Not everything is about Happy around and I appreciate that.

Credit to the members of Happy around for actually helping their competitors.

Really curious to see how many more episodes we're gonna get, doesn't seem like ending yet and I don't want it to end.

alright! it's Photon Maiden's time to shine! so happy for them!
CHUCHU = Tsumugi Risa - high pitch voice
Andou(Assault Lily) = Tsumugi Risa - low pitch voice
Izumo = Tsumugi Risa - a different kind of pitch voice damn! she's got a lot of ranges! impressive!
5/5.

what a cool producer PM has...she didn't even shout at them although the big loss...well indeed you can only practice more and get better.

Today is also the release of the Dub, I have been never interested in that tbh but did you know that Karin Kagami the voice of Maho Akashi, will be reprising the same role she voiced, in English? That is pretty awesome...Maho-chan's voice voicing the character in English

Photon Maiden really is great, I really like Saki and Towa x3
I'm so happy their producer is a good person, I thought she was going to be really damn angry xD

Seeing Rei training her dance just like Rinku does was the best part for me <3


And the beautiful TRUE smile of Saki <3


I also liked Merm4id's little cameo, we still don't know how many episodes this season will have but there is no way next one is the last since will just be about Muni and Rinku again, and we still need to see RONDO and Lyrical Lily in some way.

Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Rondo already had a cameo. They were playing shiritori while passing Rei on the street in one of the previous eps.


BTW, I'm still wondering why Rachels character became a producer while Nana Mizukis one works in that coffee-shop show characters visit.

It's been announced for a while that it will be 13 episodes, so two more weeks left, MAL is just slow as hell as usual and hasn't put that.

We're thankfully getting a short anime right after starting the 5th of February... and yeah, that MAL doesn't have yet added to the database either, you can check more info on that on a thread I made on reddit about it (https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/kug9sa/d4dj_petit_mix_mini_anime_announced_starts_the/)

Bushiroad is pushing really hard for this multimedia project so I wouldn't be too worried in terms of getting an eventual sequel in the near future, the hype train has to continue!

Wow so we focused on the Photon Maiden this episode, and especially on Saki. The girl wants the group to have a new color and after some networking and risky effort, they pulled it off.

Their performance at the end, once again, fucking great song! I know I already heard the song before (maybe on D4DJ's YT channel, when I looked it up), but that beat, THAT DROP, fucking EARWORM status, that melody is not gonna go away just like that for me. Btw we also have a cameo from Mermaid group, but I don't know if they can really show up this season.

Either way, very good episode. We're going back to Happy Ara like usual, although Muni x Rinku rift is not gonna look pretty. If I'm right, I think we're only gonna have 2 episodes left, so groups like Mermaid, Rondo and Lyrical Lily will appear on a sequel season.

As I understand it, they just announced the mini anime and didn't say anything about the main series.

Shinobu tsundere-ish never failed to amaze me. Lol.

Ah Photon Maiden evolution. They took the risk as how Happy Ara did that previously. A new color, its looked calmer, but energic. Its not so cool and stylish, but felt strong as how its a new remix they did after such a long time. Such an obvious they took the decision of following their rival route to changed the color. As the result, its not that bad, and proved to satisfied the audience more than their default settings of imagery.

Thats how they learnt from their mistake and took a stepped up into the right direction. The Producer herself looked even more nicer, and pretty chill in this episode. She letting the girls tried what they did as their best effort to changed. That's a good respond and like that kind of direction. No shite, and just happy around, as how the Happy Ara members taught them to evolve. That's sweet, that's adorable, no other thing i can say instead of those two....

13 episodes only, or more than that?

An episode focused on Photon Maiden or should I say Saki of Photon Maiden. She was having trouble mixing music but thnx to Maho chan's help she made a great one. Their new song was really cool.

Is next episode the last one? If it is then I sure hope they announce another season cause one more episode is not enough to conclude this anime.

Photon Maiden reminds me of Roselia from BanG Dream. They're certainly cool which is why the new song's passion brought a new heat that was like a blue flame.

This episode was more focused on Photon Maiden and their development. They seem to have found a new colour, a new direction, a new way of presenting their songs. They presented their own remix on stage and I wont lie, it was brutally amazing. The trap beat and the mix of pop was beautifully done. Even their producer loved it. Happy Around is mingling with Photon Maiden and its good to see that there are no dramas popping up.
