Merm4id is the beach episode of D4DJ. Pun intended.I mean, that photoshoot was the fanservice that season 1 skipped.

Tsubaki want to be that super cool dark chara, but she is too sweet. I like Tsubaki.

Seeing GM Masaki, I just could think "What Majima from Yakuza series is doing here?"

The show was great.
But now, Photon Maiden and Lyrical Lily, I hope they where invited, just couldn't go.

This was a fun watch along with the rhythm game. Looking forward to a second mix.

This was very cute, fun, and emotional episode. I loved every second of it.

All that fanservice at the beginning was a big surprise.

Lol at Tsubaki's "Eeeeeehhhh?!!"

Aww, Rika. xD She looked so adorable in this scene.

Rondo and Merm4aid's performance was amazing. Good job, girls!

I can't wait for the second season! :)

Not a big fan of Merm4aid (while Rondo is my favourite out of D4DJ groups) but this duet song was actually good (way way better than RaS x HaroHappy combo from the 2nd stage movie).

Waiting for S2 in January. To bad they'll have to recast Rei for it.

The whole drama of the episode was ridiculously cheesy, but at the same time it was an enjoyable experience and way better than I expected. Especially considering how incredibly much they improved the animation. It's already reached the level of gaming cutscenes rather than lame CGI anime. Also, I perfectly understand the experience of Tsubaki. No, I don't have a crush on an androgynous best friend, lol, I just resonate with her experience of being extremely awkward when you're an edgy gloomy kid and hyperactive people try to befriend you. The fact that RONDO's club is so elite and that our girls are not so much edgy goth as a high level elite unit really impressed me.

I would also like to point out how much the anime adaptation of this franchise is progressing towards ditching all that Lady Land crap. Hell, while the excitement of having male characters on the Bushiroad show is no less cheesy (they even talk to one of them, LMAO), I'm really glad they manage to keep the genre tropes going even without all those artificial instruments. This is definitely a special part of the Bushi art trilogy, no less.

Not very familiar with the characters as I don't play the game, but am familiar with the groups through their songs.

The duet song was nice! Now to wait for S2, would love to see more songs of MERM4ID animated

I need the girls of M4 and Rondo in my face, all day, every day.

What is that song from the end and how can I make my whole life about it?

Also Rika and Tsubaki as tiny babies was so adorable they must be protected from all harm.

Judging from their GM, Alter Ego is surely a licensed venue that is a front for the yakuza. HapiAra and P-Key, how did you get in?!

LyriLily got animated for the first time?! :D

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON TWO!!!

I feel like them not showing the festival with every group keeps me from liking this more, I would’ve rather got to see who I like before this new season

Bad voice acting (Rika is poor man Rinku basically).
Cheesy story (Double cry over what?).
Bad song with bad distorted vocals (What was the point of collab? No flavor potato smoothie?).

I.e. recommended to diehard fans only.

Story is good enough, I liked how they dealt with Tsubaki worried about her branding, but the flashbacks felt a bit lacking and just thrown there (it doesn't explain anything just that she was silent, but why was she lilent? It's under developed).
Song banger (except the rika + tsubaki part, Rika's part was really awful idk why cuz she sings really well)

I personally think it was worse than the others, but still very good, all of their music is really good.
