Pretty good episode, the music was great and I can't wait to see more. The only issue I really had is just how like weird the whole battle thing was like. I know this anime isn't realisitc in the slightest, it's literally a vampire anime, but it just didn't feel right that a van just came down the street out of nowhere and there's bands just performing for free.

Either way, excited for the next episode.

Well… that first episode was pretty fucking… intense? I honestly don’t know what to think of this show. I’m totally here for the character designs and the Vkei aesthetic, even the music has its moments.

But the actual plot of this is so insanely vapid and boring to me…

Anyway, I’m not judging a whole anime on this one episode, it might actually make me change my mind about the plot you never know.

Those of us who are going to see this anime will most likely be because it has visual kei aesthetics and because of the songs that are produced with visual groups. The story is going to be boring but the music is going to be very good.

I would've given it a 5 out of 5 but I felt like that would have been a little bit too self-indulgent lol.

I cannot possibly count the number of times I said "what is going on?" while watching it but that's, at least personally, a good thing in this case. For something like this, I'd say it doesn't need to make sense. It's a V-kei anime first and story last kind of situation. And the songs, at least thus far, are more than enough to make up for it being confusing.

All of my confusion was positive in the end, plus this is an original show (there's no manga, game, or anything else that came before this for it to be based on) so we don't really have anything to compare it to. Along with that, we're only an episode in, I wouldn't expect to know exactly what's going on from the get-go anyway.

I will say that I can understand why it doesn't have the best score though. It's probably because it definitely feels like you have to have a very specific taste to enjoy it to its fullest. I must be the exact type of person this was made for lol

I love the strangeness of it all and I have hopes that it'll at least live up to my current expectations!

This episode came like a strange surprise.
I mean, I do kinda like it, especially the songs. But on the other hand, I'm not too sure...

Altho I am looking forward to the next episode!

Also, would be nice to have a full-release, like 3 minutes songs on Spotify or something...

Pros:

Music was really good! I especially enjoyed all the songs, though the third group's song was probably my fave.

Nice visuals.



Cons:

Plot? What plot? LMAO

I could tell pretty much that this is basically marketing towards female fans to buy more merch. However, I'll give it a few more eps.


Might wind up a guilty pleasure in the end if the music remains good.

They deadass made a duo, named one Hyde and didn't name the other Jekyll. smh

The OP slaps, but the other songs were just alright. Don't hate them but I don't see myself listening to them in my free time.

Wow! This was so edgy , but every single song was an absolute banger! In 1 episode only we heard 3 songs, 1 cover, and the opening...

And LMFAO that one guy that just started glowing for no reason , what in the twilight shit was that!!! 🤣
I don't know how signatures work

Don't have that much experience with male idols show but this was...something is just so involuntarily hilarious meanwhile also having me cringing and yet being able to admire some nice styling. The sword-mic is a perfect example: cool yet so silly.

The protagonist seeing all this girl disappearing around and only caring about "what a bop" he just listened then getting half-horny when the shota got bit by the annoying hunky guy; the cool blond guy playing piano and getting the protagonist horny just to turn him off with some "deep and sad, I'm emo" but then doing an improvised duet and the protagonist going "I guess I can sing :/" I hope there is more nonsense like this in the next episodes.

The songs were good.
