decago said: I do not understand the hype. i assumed i would like this cuz girl in band omg bocchi! maybe im just a hater but to me its so melodramatic and over the top and the pacing of everything feels so rushed to me. i just cant take any of it seriously like why are they doing so much bro its episode 1. whenever they bust out a song randomly it makes me laugh so hard too like what are they doing?!@? not tryna hate on anybody that likes this cuz i like random stuff too i just want to hear some thoughts about this from ppl that enjoy it. In my case a few reasons I like it are. 1. The music, this being my main reason but so far every single song they’ve released I’ve adored and are all on my playlist. 2. Nina, I find her character deep down to be very relatable in various ways with her past mainly 3. I enjoy the characters, there interactions and just the overall vibe of the show. I’ll admit sometimes the interactions are very over the top but it don’t bother me at all. I mean I don’t really need a real reason for liking something. But I guess these are some of them. Overall girls band cry especially with each performance just has me super hyped like I’m in the crowd watching them perform. |
Cwush said: Tbh it didn't feel random to me, probably bc I'm also watching Train to the End of the World this season (if you want something random, def watch that) But overall I'd say girls band cry is pretty decent, and I love how expressive all the characters are. Train to the end of the world is the most random show I’ve ever seen. It’s so strange |
decago said: @Phantom_373 yea ofc u dont need a reason to enjoy something i just want to hear what ppl like about it. i agree with you as well with the music its pretty fire Personally comparing it with Bocchi the rock. I’d say with Bocchi I preferred the comedy and characters. But with girls band cry I prefer the music far more |
Nah for me girls band cry’s music is far better. Bocchi the rock had good music but it really was not why I watched it. It was more for the comedy. But hey I respect the opinion |
| Regardless of whether you find the music in this anime amazing or not, I think what really makes or breaks the viewing experience of this show are the characters and their interactions. The music isn't actually random at all, rather the show has chosen to focus on the band experience as opposed to song-writing or whatnot. Especially until the recent episodes, they've only been doing live performances just for the sake of playing music as opposed to having an overarching goal of 'making it'. Because the focus is mainly on the characters and a lot of things that happen are due to Nina's wack personality, the show just rides or dies based on whether or not you can accept her. |

After last year bringing it’s Mygo from the so far excellent Bandori series which totally botched the teenage angst/ sense of lack of direction theme and made me a little angry at times, this show has demonstrated how it really should be done. I can’t really explain why but it seems like the melodrama is coming from the girls’ backstories rather than just the need to be edgy. It’s a real 10/10 to me. Plus the music is next level.
| @FutoiOtaku Completely nothing comment that doesn't explain what MyGO actually did wrong and just says one is better than the other because it's "good" without any explanation as to why. |

| I like Bocchi and Jellyfish too. It took me a bit to get used to CGI but after you do, you can see advantages that it brings. One thing I remember about Bocchi is fantastic animation when she would start playing. This show gave me the same feeling when band performs - CGI really shines here. I also like all characters including MC - you can feel she is complicated but for me not annoying. And if you watch anime regularly, you surely have seen many unstable MCs. I love songs, there is playlist on YouTube I listen to. Unexpectedly it is probably my favourite anime this season. |

| @FutoiOtaku first of all, you have MyGO at a 9/10. your criticism on mygo here makes it sound like it should be rated lower. i don't think mygo is edgy at all. every character was written with a backstory that justifies how they act/behave. you can tell mygo's story was clearly laid out from beginning to end with its "show don't tell" approach. the melodrama in mygo also comes from their backstories. taste in music is subjective but mygo delivers full length performances unlike GBC. i don't get enough satisfaction with the GBC performances in the anime so i end up listening to the full version elsewhere. i like both mygo and GBC. i'd say GBC has more likeable characters and better chemistry between the cast but...mygo not having this is kinda the central theme of the show. |
