Ah, music returns again in the show with a lovely cast of cute girls in this series.

Idk, it was fine but nothing special yet. I hope they take some time to develop the cast this season honestly.

Meh/fine first episode, It's just the beginning so I understand why it felt a bit slow but I'm sure it will improve, I'm confident. (And I hope we will see Cyan like in the preview)

It was really "OK" in my opinion, not too bad, but not too perfect. It's the start anyways, so I will keep watching it.

Show By Rock is literally one of my favorite shows so when I found out their was going to be a spin off I was instantly interested.

So far it seems to be ticking the right boxes with great images, music, characters and cute comedy so I'm pretty hopeful for this spin off. I'm definitely curious how the plot will go though? like are we going to get something more light heart-ed and easy going about girls trying to make it big or will it go down the darker route like the original.

Also we know we're all waiting for cyan's cameo x3

Hopefully we'll get a season 3 SBR later too ^^

Lol it wasn't a "great" start but it wasn't as bad as the people here make it seem to be.
BTW loved the character designs for: Himeko, Howan & delmin. (wolf girls is not bad but... not that great in comparsion)

The tracks are pretty good so far. That chibi CGI is awful tho, hopefully there won't be much in it, these small doses are tolerable.

So are they humanoids in reality or is it just for the audience, and they are actually tiny animals like everyone else?
Do they age into the tiny animals?
How can two of the tiny animals produce a humanoid?

These are the questions I need to know the answers to

It's back as soooo good from the start!

Howan is so freaking cute, my degenerate heart can't handle her!

I'm actually happy that they skipped "we maybe make a band together" part that would take at least 2 episodes.

But I hope that we well get at least a small cameo of Cyan and Plasmagica girls.

This was explained in the game and in the S01 of Show by Rock (!!), from the wiki:

Myumons is a temporary state of a human in the "Sound World", where they get ears, tail and other things around them during this form . When Myumons perform, they can transform into bodies for that purpose. Every Myumon has a Melodisian Stone within their bodies

This was super cute! Very happy with the first episode, I love them. Though I swear these designs are really... Out there. Especially for Himeko, I watched Show By Rock! So I guess I should be used to this, but I'm not. And I really don't get how everyone's an animal except for the main girls and possibly the future boy band. Like how does this work?

I know someone tried to explain it but it still doesn't explain it. Like, they become tiny animals when they perform right? Then is everyone else constantly performing? Is this a choice? Are only aspiring idols and idols hot anime people? I'm just so confused, I guess it's been a while since I've seen Show By Rock!

Other than those gripes I really liked the first episode! 5/5! Cute girls forever! And future hot boys! We love em both in this house.

Did anyone else notice the Criticrista song Attention, Please!! playing as background music when Himeko was talking with the manager at the studio? It was a cute detail, I hope there are more cameos in the future.

I guess this was fine, but I have a couple of nitpicks.

1. I don't remember Ruhuyu lugging around her drums before they did their street show.
2. How did Howan know the lyrics of this song from a band that she's clearly never met before. Like, what?
3. I also remember the chibi songs bit from the original show being a lot better and more refined.

Thought the episode was good. Kind of disappointed by the CGI though, it wasn't bad but the original did it way better. The change in studio is probably why it looks that way

This season they are using cel-shading models for the CGI parts, they look way better, cleaner and fit with the style when compared to the 2D chibi people in the city.
The original CGI was like plastic, really shiny because of the reflections, the new CGI is far better.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

These are the questions I need to know the answers to:

What are Myumons? What is the "sound world"? They all have tails and ears so what form are you talking about--the human form? What is a Melodisian Stone and what does it do?

Rewatching episode 1 after going back to watch the main series. It makes more sense now.

The animal forms cgi looks different like not as soft now. And they decided not to sub the op and Ed for this spin off !

Overall no thoughts since not much happened
