Aww the girl bands can be so cute to watch in this series. Not sure how I feel about their music though but the outfits of the girls are adorable. Also, Cyan should also played a role with the song.

I liked the songs of Criticrista and Plasmagica. This is totally my guilty pleasure so far.

I really like Criticrista especially Jacqueline and Tsukino, but Holmy is really adorable and even Logia as well, they are heartmelters and they have more of an idol style to their rock which adds to their charm. and Plasmagica is very good as well.

Criticrista band! Too moe! >w< Well Criticrista brought an amazing performance but that doesn't mean Plasmagica's was bad. Both bands performed very well.

Such a shame that Plasmagica lost but let this be a stepping stone for them to try harder next time. Also, I hope the bond among the Plasmagica members continues to grow stronger from here on pyuru! :)

Yay, finally some quality Show By Rock time! I missed this show.

Holmy is adorable. Jacqueline as well.

Nice songs. Liked Plasmagica's song better. Unfair that Criticrista won, but they were more popular so I guess, it makes sense. Cyan has already gained some fans.

Criticrista were adorable. I really enjoyed both new songs in this episode (then again I like every SB69 song so no surprise there), I actually played them in the game before I watched the episode, I think the new Plasmagica song may now be my favorite by them, but I can't decide completely until the full version comes out. As for Criticrista's new song, it's nice, but I still prefer "ループしてる" from the game. But again, until I hear the full versions of all their songs, it's up in the air.

Uwasanopetals appeared at the end of the episode with dialogue! This is super important to me and gives me hope that we may see other bands from the game! Perhaps there is hope of seeing Shizuku Secretmind. Still not getting my hopes up for tie-up bands to appear though, aside from logo and picture cameos.

Next week is Tsurezurenaru Ayatsuri Mugendan's episode, really looking forward to it. I've heard samples of their new songs and they sound great, kind of different from the sound of their songs in the game, but still definitely their style.

Another cute episode! Plus it had quite a bit of character development in it surprisingly. Retoree is correct though, having closer bonds, produces better music. So I understand where she's coming from.

Also, we had a cat girl in bunny pajamas in this episode. How is the internet not broken?

Homily was the best from the new band.

But I'm beginning to get serious Yandere vibes from Chuchu...

Why is everything so freaking cute in this show?!

I like how everything is moves along quickly. Only ep3 but yet we have a good idea of the world setting, characters & their quirks already. Loved everyones rooms. I lolled at Moa living in her spaceship, I guess she's like the Nagato Yuki of the group.

+1 for Plasmagica!

ALL MOE BANDS!!! WOOO!!

Retoree gave me feels. I was once in that position and still feel like that today. So I know how that feels. (And then the Cyan x Retoree ships happen *cough*)

Cristirista is cute too. Guh this typical super cute "anisong" kind of song! Tsukino melts my heart. (Learned that she's a foodie!) Though Rosier/Logia VS Chuchu wars is... Wow. I don't mind. I think it would be funny to see these two duke it out.

I am looking forward for Tsurezurenaru Ayatsuri Mugendan. After hearing the single's samples, I am hyped to hear them! I can not stop playing it because it's so catchy! (And brings me back Pop'n Music Iroha/Adventure days!) Their Myumon form are animals... I guess Bones/Sanrio wanted to balance the animal population by not alienating the masked versions? Eh I'm fine with that!

Nice to give the other bands (in their pre-band days) a nice cameo~

Critisrista won and they indeed deserved it. Not only because they're more moe and evil, but their song was actually better than Plasmagica's.

New band incoming and their silhouette already giving off some epic vibes. Looking forward to their debut!

Cute loli's, nice music, character development, not touching the whole dark whatever thingy in the first episode, SHINGANCRIMSONZ CAMEO.

Lacked SHINGANCRIMSONZ. On par with episode 1, not better than episode 2.

7/10 still a big fan.

I really wonder how they're going to fit in every band from the game in there. We already have loads of characters, and only 5 out of 20 have been properly introduced.
It was a good episode, though. We finally had some development with the characters and some proper arguments. Moa's constant Pyurus got really annoying after a while, though.

I honestly doubt they will have every band in the anime. A lot of bands in the game are based on real bands, so them appearing with speaking roles would require that they have time to voice act in the first place.

Only 5 bands have been revealed to be important, so I'm guessing every other band not based on a real one apart from the 5 will only get scenes like the Uwasanopetals one, and the bands based off real ones will continue to only get logo and poster cameos.

Are we sure that the Uwasanopetals won't appear as a band later on?

I can't say for sure, but I doubt they'll be important. Only one of them has a human design, so the other three would need to get UR cards in the game first, unless they only ever have them in myumon forms. But that'd be a bit weird.

I actually wanted Plasmagica to lose (I was figuring they would). It would have been far to easy/convenient for them to win. I'm glad they went with the they-still-need-work route.

I am enjoying the show... but I would probably love it had they used normal animation for the performances. They would be super-cute like in the OP. Not that the 3dcg is bad quality, it's quite good, I just don't like it.

Also the Chriticrista group's outfits reminded me of Shugo Chara xD I like Tsukino the most..and Rosia...her outfit...though I do really like her cat guitar >3<
I loved it when Cyan played the guitar to get Retoree to not leave (*≧∇≦*)

Plasma's song was really nice~~
Also another new band? Is every episode just goin to be introducing a new band omg I already miss Trichronika (;´Д`A

Seems the SB69 team knew to throw away the protagonist-wins-first cliche! I was really surprised XD

But I was not surprised to see more into Cyan-chan's character :3 Plasmagica is still more genuinely cute than Criticrista ever is XD

And the music by Plasmagica still weighs more than Criticrista's in my point of view. When I read the English translation of the lyrics of "Yes! Idol <3 Declaration!", I was frankly thinking, in the tone of Shingan Crimsonz, "Is that really it...??"

But "Labyrinth Destiny" is a ton better!

Might have mentioned this before, but wow this is cute. The art is sugary and colorful, but the chibi thing is still cracking me up. I like how this episode provided a realistic skill gap between the two bands based on the info they gave us, but in return Plasmagica gained a deeper bond in their defeat.

The episode focuses more on his narrative with characters Retore, Chuchu and Moa, thus giving a further idea of what kind of people are describing even if only slightly, their identity and their ideas. Plot that progresses smoothly, meet new characters and even the next time there will be others; from this point of view the TV series is not skimping and disappointing. Drawings and animations sufficient time too, soundtrack and music is not bad; pretty funny story.

Cyan is cute as always.

The battle between Criticrista and Plasmagica was great. I would have voted for Plasmagica, because I liked their song more then the one of Criticrista.

Cyan knows how to keep the band together. Even though there was a small conflict with Retoree, she could manage to solve it.

Criticrista, a band so cute on the outside, but secretly devils on the inside. I sense a rivalry forming from this.

The ep was okay. Not too fast, nor slow, and it introduced the concept of 'Battle of the Bands', that we'll no doubt see in future eps.

Highlight: Plasmagica's first performance on stage

So apparently Moa is an actual alien. She even lives in a crashed rocket...

I just now noticed that Retoree is glancing at Cyan during the end credits. That's sweet. :)
