Wow, they got into this battle of bands thing pretty fast in this.

Glad to see most of the main and supporting characters back...but evil is back too.


As far as music goes, it's pretty similar to what I remember from the first season. That song at the end is deep.

Lol I have the same reaction like when did this series become so SF, evil empire invasion!!! and the return of Dagger. I expect the plot to be better than the 1st season.

Anyway the first song sang by the evils is just so good. Crimson team is just funny as always also.

Cyan welcome backkk.

What a mess. Lacked the charm of the first season. I guess the cattle liked Shingan Crimsonz better than Plasmagica so we're going to be seeing more cat boys this time around.

They really should have stayed focused on Cyan or one of the other Plasmagica members and spun off a Shingan Crimsonz show as well.

BUD VIRGIN LOGIC's new song was great, as expected. They probably have become one of my favorite original bands, and I'm glad they look much better here in the anime than they do in the travesties that are their initial URs.

More importantly though, Ninjinriot! I have a feeling they won't be getting a song in the anime, given they aren't listed on the anime's official site and the Amazon single leaks don't have a Ninjinriot single listed, but I'm still really glad to see them here regardless. Rin was the first UR I ever got in the game. Also I'm happy Arashi kept his voice from the game, which I suppose isn't a huge surprise since all of Ninjinriot's songs after their initial three still had the same singer.

it feels so good to have the main series back cause couldn't stand SBR short

but wow at that start of the series and then of course they would end the ep at such a part which makes waiting for next ep that much harder none the less cant wait for it

Heh heh, I missed these characters, glad to see them again, and I welcome the new characters :). An invasion from the Queen of Darkness was unexpected, I thought I was tripping lol, but should be interesting. Quality Bones strikes again, very excited to see where the show goes from here.

Great and interesting start. The first season did contain some parody elements. That is why I will try to avoid taking the plot itself too serious.

Shingancrimsonz new song was awesome.

I'm really skeptical about this season; There seems to have way too many things happening at the same time, so I'm not sure if the plot is going to be good.
Another thing that scared me was how they are repeating way too many jokes and/or scenarios; It would be good if they used this season to showcase other arenas from the game, and there might be the possibility that the overuse of the same jokes might take the fun off the Shingancrimsonz, which are the best characters of the anime, in my opinion.
However, there were some good parts as well. BUD VIRGIN LOGIC's song was really good, as well as their appearance. I thought that they wouldn't be looking all that good in the anime, but the girls really looked pretty (especially Airen; I can't take my eyes off her), and Ninjinriot's appearance was also really nice, especially the Kamui part. Cyan's few minutes of screentime were also surprisingly lighthearted and fun, and their humming of Ryuusei Dreamline was so sweet that I caught myself singing along with them.
I'm still pretty wary of this season, but let's see how it'll go (Also, Argon. That's all I can say).

I don't think you have to worry about an antagonist band getting more screen time than the main character(s).

Loved it. I hope this time my favorite ship CyanxRetoree will sail further than before. Cyan looked as cute as always in her short segment. That mech surprised me :D Chamber to the rescue! Teared up a bit when they sang together... And I feel sorry for Plasmagica... I'd be terrified too.

Do not forget that the first season did take the plot hardly serious in many parts of the series. A lot of parody elements about Madoka was there used. The final scene reminded me of the final move from Madoka as Cyan went full Madokami, too.

Maybe this time they will try to use a more serious plot, but I have my doubts. I would not be surprised if the Final would be like the one from the first season in a slightly different way.

Shingancrimsonz have a great cast of funny characters. They will never change their dumb personalities and that will always leads to the same kind of humor.

The new enemies here are looking very cute. There first song was awesome, I agree on that one.

Have to say nice explosive start but the short screen time that Cyan had me like total down a little. I mean I was expecting more screen time from her then all the rest her being the main hero most likely. They sure did leave of at a strange place which is going to be a pain to wait for the next episode. I take it this airs every Sunday maybe. Kind of wish it aired 2 days out of the week like Sunday and Wednesday. Oh well it's going to be a long week to wait.

Can't wait to see more of Cyan this time.

Super excited to see how this will play out and the new bands they will introduce! (ie. the ninjas and the unicorn guy (I already know he'll be my favorite cos he seems super magical already. I mean come on HES A UNICORN!, lmao)

I love BUD VIRGIN LOGIC's music and excited to hear from ARCAREAFACT!! (':

Dat plot.. I miss the wackiness.

The last time I watched this show it was interrupted by my visit to Japan. Doesn't seem so long ago that the singles were on sale in every single Animate store I went to. Good times. Looking foward to my dose of Plasmagica this season :D

They didn't even bother showing Cyan in preview as well, but I guess that robot is kind of alliance and bringing back Cyan by force.
Well I was expecting some reunions but not seeing that until next episode.

Despite the presence of evil in the air, everything looked and felt the same as it did in the first season. If this show is able to replicate that, then it'll be a fun watch again.

Dagger returns with a new, dark, goth-like band? I dig it. Plasmagica feel lost without Cyan, which is kinda adorable to think about, and Cyan got into the band on Earth, but it struggling to write a song. I guess we know one thing she'll get done by the end of this season.

Does adding ninjas and mechs make a show better? Well, we are just about too find out, lol.
