Such an usual show still...even with the band battle. I'm also not sure how I feel about Shingan Crimsonz. They seem kinda cool in a way.

While character designs imo looks okay along with the music, the way it crafts the style still feels odd. I kinda like this girls' designs though:

Shingan Crimsonz kick ass on and off stage, my god Cyan's singing is a heartmelter if her design wasn't enough to be not safe for the heart. That CG though is jarring as all hell though, please stop using it during concerts, the 2D character design is far better.

I see that's Logia a member of CritaCrista hiding at the end, the next episode will focus on them.

I really like this show so far, but I agree on the CG. I'll still be watching it, but I will always think that the concerts should have the regular 2D characters.

You know, all dat dialogue in the OP song (I am talking about the show's OP, not the boy's song) is funny yet addictive. It makes me love the OP. If anything could be compared to K-on this season in terms of music then I guess, it would be this show.

Lol the Shin-something group is a bunch of idiots. I haven't heard Kakihara with a deep voice before, but yeah, it's recognizable and nice. I guess Rom is my fav among them, his quotes are golden.

I sense some ship tease in the air... all kinds of, actually.

Pyuru girl is hilarious, her space moment was the best of this episode. The purple girl is nice. Blonde is totally into Cyan. Cyan is cute. Man I like this anime quite a bit now, I am getting used to the cgi too. That was a nice performance by Shin-whatever group.

Very niiice.

Another great episode for SBR. Also, hardcore yuri vibes coming from Ritoree. There's a lot of places they can go with this series, so I'm curious to see what they choose.

Also, Moa's random alien moment was great!

Looking forward to the next band!!

That was an amazing episode. Shingan CrimsonZ were hilarious as expected, and it was obvious that the anime staff really have knowledge of the source material. Baiganba V cameo on the TV, Shinimonogurui and Droupout Sensei's logos, posters of GaugaStrikes members, and a photo of Kafuka, the real life Japanese band GaugaStrikes is based on.

I have high hopes for this anime seeing as it's clear the staff are familiar with the game it's based on. It seems Criticrista will be important in the next episode. I wonder when Tsurezurenaru Ayatsuri Mugendan will appear.

SHINGANCRIMSONZ YYEEEESSHHHHH!!!!
(If you have not watched their chibi shorts on YT, go do so! You will laugh!)

But I think I spoil to much with the fanart... That Rom x Syazo moment... ;w;

But god these guys made my day, same for the girls too!

I love how unique and quirky the Plasmagica girls are~!

I am also alright with the 3D, at least it's still not that MLP style, and 2D animals would be a bit.. I don't know how to put it. But I guess I am one of the few is alright with it.

Good episode. The girls are all so damn cute *w*

SHINGANCRIMSONZ may be a bunch of silly guys, but their song was pretty awesome! That was probably the best thing about this episode.

Cyan is so moe! Blonde girl's Yuri tendencies are completely understandable. :3
So, that -pyuru girl has also come from a different planet to investigate? Interesting! Wonder what her objective could be..

Not too bad of an episode. Just wished they'd do something about the horrid CGI..

This show reminds me of Bakumatsu Rock. Not a bad thing--I loved that show too.

As for the CGI, I don't think it's bad. Honestly, it's some of the best quality CGI I've ever seen in an anime; it usually looks like utter crud. It's more the designs they're using for the CGI in the first place. I couldn't stop laughing for SHINGANCRIMSONZ's entire performance, even though the song was genuinely good, because Crow looked like some sort of fucking Shadow the Hedgehog OC and Yaiba's everything was just plain horrifying.

On another note, Rom's really hot and I'm so glad he's voiced by my favourite Japanese VA.

I'm really liking this show so far. I like how they're not taking it too fast - this episode was really just to establish the characters a bit more and dump a bit of exposition on us. Now all the cast we've seen have clear, distinct personalities that we would have missed out on if it went at the pace of the previous episode (i.e. utterly breakneck). And of course, the writing is good and really funny.

As for the CGI, I did think it was good. It's detailed and actually looks like something, and I like how it doesn't go for an overly realistic approach to it, though it's a little jarring when it quickly changes from Hand-drawn to CGI. I think they were going for a sort of plastic model art style, as you can see in the credits sequence. While I do prefer the hand-drawn bits, I do admit that it's still high-quality even with the CG.

Something that's been really annoying me with the show is Cyan's singing ability. It's hyped up to be really good, but the way the voice actor does it I would class as above average, but not great. I think the singer in actual songs is different, but it's still a little strange how everyone says her average singing voice is so amazing.

Thought the CRIMSON guys were annoying at first, but they rocked it. The audience swapping shirts and pulling out the glow sticks were exactly how I felt. Cracked me up. The CG is great, the designs are weird, but at least they gave it an explanation. As cheesy as this is, it's doing a better job of story telling in two episodes than some other anime this season are.

Great second episode! I'd still love to see their performances in 2D (it'd just be cooler that way, the same way the UR cards had character detail... but the performers themselves are chibi forms so I guess I can't blame them for doing the switch. Despite it being kinda jarring, the 3D is still pretty.

Shingancrimsonz = amazing badassness. xD Tsukki as Aion singing omg. But basically all the VAs for the band are pretty famous LOL -weeps- Their song was amazing too!

Looks like it will be one unit an episode seeing how there are still many units left.

This show looks like mentally challenged child of Aikatsu and PriPara or UtaPri and K-On! - and quite frankly I like it: it's cute and silly, was afraid they will go different path with those guys but they didn't.

as for CGI - I don't like character design (actually whole thing with "people" being at one time some kind of animal abominations and later just humans with some strange parts is weird) but it looks decent and it was short enough.

That bishies band, Shingancrimsonz are funny and I liked their song. The name of the band is kind of long though, and I had to check it before writing.
I still like the 3D chibis.

this episode was just about as odd as the first one but I actually like it
Cyan was especially cute here too
definitely sticking with this show until the end

Hosoyan's my favorite as well but Rom is one of those roles where he shouts a lot about everything,
i'm kind of bummed he's been doing more of those types of roles recently- Kuroko Basket's Junpei, and the dude from Terraformars
I prefer his softer work or, heaven help me, characters that speak in interesting dialect
