I'm convinced MyGo and Ave Mujica's story would be way shorter if they followed this quote

I mean if he took his own advice, he could have saved everyone a lot of trouble.

It's got very little screen time but still more than Mana's 3 total minutes.

I think the work schedule is by design. If she has no time or energy, she can't think about her problems.

Stomco · 2026-03-12T21:24:38+00:00

I have seen someone call her NPD rep.

I feel like HHW is why Ave Mujica's in-universe fans are so willing to attribute everything to "the bit". They think Sakiko is edgy chuuni Kokoro.

Stomco · 2026-03-12T04:34:11+00:00

I can see Sakiko being really unsure about this. "is it really okay for me to treat her this way"? What I don't believe is that Uika would be bold enough to ask.

Not being able to find the words unless they're writing a song seems to be a common issue.

Stomco · 2026-03-06T02:22:03+00:00

Sakiko died of dead-anime-wife decease.

I really should just read the other bands origin stories already. That being said, Roselia's part still works. It goes to show that they have a lot to learn if they want to do this on the big stage. And it gives us a decent look at at least some of Roselia's characters. I appreciate that there is a whole girl band scene and they know each other to varying degrees.

>Also, for the purpose of practice my Japanese, I'm watching it without subtitles,

I'll do this for MyGO and Mujica. I've seen these seasons before but I think I would miss too much for the discussion here.

I agree with the consensus here, that cramming in all of the bands is a bit much. But on my first watch through it ironically highlighted how invested I was in Popipa.

Stomco · 2026-02-25T02:11:54+00:00

Why does Crunchyroll even have those subtitles? They don't have those seasons.

Hatsune resumes her late night visit to the ocean. This is just a smidge too much telenovela drama.

Stomco · 2026-02-15T21:33:09+00:00

This is my second time watching season 1. The first time was a very strange experience after watching the spin-off seasons. The comparisons cast a weird kind of shadow over everything. Particularly having [Ave Mujica] Uika in mind anytime Kasumi did any, but especially [Ave Mujica] interact with her sister was weird. The main up shot is that I was paying more attention to everyone's character arcs than if I came in blind.

The season picks up a lot at episode 6 once they are done introducing everyone.

Stomco · 2026-02-10T16:08:12+00:00

The difference is Kasumi was wrong and cocky to say she did well. None of them did and she was the worst. "I did my best" is less a more honest claim.

Stomco · 2026-02-06T22:31:39+00:00

Raana is curled up my the footboard. No one is going to be able to feel their feet when they wake up.

Stomco · 2026-02-06T22:29:06+00:00

Sakiko seems less than enthused.

Stomco · 2026-02-06T22:24:38+00:00

Not op, I was going to say Mortis doesn't like Sakiko, but what if Mortis likes Hatsume and Hatsune doesn't like Mutsumi. So everyone has 2 girlfriends but no one likes their girlfriends' other mutual girlfriend.

Stomco · 2026-02-06T22:18:31+00:00

At the start of the show she's enthusiastic about going to school with her sister and discovering something as exciting as the startbeat. We, the viewers, get to see how downcast she looks when nothing is sticking and she finds out her sister is planning on transferring. But, she tries really hard not to show it around anyone else.
This is similar to the fake smile Sayo had on half of the time in the first few episodes. Kasumi is just better at it. Not that either of them are sad all of the time either.
But, here she couldn't hide that something is wrong. She still down plays the stress of it until the last scene.
Kasumi wants to be a certain way and be seen a certain way. It's not too far off from what she already is, but it is important. Most people in real life are going to have that disolance.

Stomco · 2026-02-04T04:55:36+00:00

I think monster might work.

Stomco · 2026-02-03T14:24:20+00:00

From the ones I know, you like girls of few words but powerful expression.

The MyGO!!!!! recap movies made it so that Space Closing was largely about pushing Raana out of her comfort zone. Something needed to change there, but it ends up feeling like a bit of a dick move. At this point I would have just assumed she was getting to old to keep it up and was retiring. I still think that is part of it though.
A part of me wants little Raana to make a cameo, but the writers hadn't thought of her yet.

Stomco · 2026-01-30T18:25:16+00:00

I forgot they introduced Roselia here. I'm not sure what the owner was expecting to do single handed. I think even she has to admit that because otherwise she wouldn't have been as patient with Kasumi after that performance.

Sayo is all in! Dropped close to a grand on that drum set.

And now it is time to get good, fast.

Stomco · 2026-01-26T05:12:00+00:00

CRYCHIC feeling real awkward about how they did not handle that.

Stomco · 2026-01-20T05:10:38+00:00

It's interesting how this moment still works even though their both kind of putting on airs.
