Review:
The first big performance goes by, and it seems to go well. At first,
it feels like I'm finally getting a sense of how her singing sounds,
but then I just get confused. Because it looks like she's just
screaming? And yet everyone seems to love it, and the band seems to
play with it really well. I'm really not too sure, by the end of it.
Their band is going to be competing with a very similar, new, masked
band. I like how some of them care, and others don't at all. I also
really like that, despite their competing and mixed feelings, Nino
and Miou have a really good friendship. They understand each other,
and Nino is very persistent about talking to her. I like that.
In a similar vein, Yuzu and Momo have also formed an unknowing
friendship, which I also like. Though the ending gives a twist to
that.
Aside from all of the friendship, Nino and Momo finally come face to
face and get to talk to each other. And it's... It's good for Momo, I
guess? Nino has some conflicted feelings regarding it, though.
I'm really enjoying this series so far. I like the odd mix of humor
and significant moments as the story progresses. I'm intrigued where
the romance is going, but I like the musical element and band play
more. The friendships are also really strong, and I am enjoying seeing
those form and grow.
