Hello, once again readers! I'm glad that you are going read through this post. I going to review the anime with cute girls with animal ears. I know what you are thinking. Dog Days, right? Nope, I reviewed it twice, once for the first and second season (together with the mentioning the upcoming third season, at that time) and the second one for the third season.
A cute catgirl!!!
OK la, I will tell you. It's Show By Rock both seasons. BTW, the second season is named Show By Rock#. Why? I've no idea, don't ask me. BTW, let's start, shall we?
EXTRA: Here on the right is PIG MACARON!!!! Cute, right?

P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You have been warned.
LET'S GO!!!
Show By Rock!!
Show By Rock!! #
I wanted to review the first season only BUT I never thought that there will be a second season. SO, I decided to review both of them. OK, enough with the back story of me doing this review, let's get on with this.
Can we get on with this now?
The first season (which is just Show by Rock, duh!), start with the main character, a very shy girl named Cyan Hijirikawa. She is a first-year high school student who has a good passion for music BUT doesn't have the courage to join the school's music club. One night, she played rhythm game on her smartphone and get a new item called "Strawberry Heart". BAM! She got sucked into the rhythm game. Wait a minute...where have I heard these type of storyline before? Hmm...never mind, let's move on.
Shy Cyan tries to join a band...Well, she failed.
Oh, a new item!
Cyan got dragged into another world...
Well, she ended up in a new world called Midi City, a place where those who command music controls everything. To cut the long story short, she uses the item that is materialised in her hands, which is Strawberry Heart to defeat the monster that attacked the band that was holding the concert. AND then, an egg-like character, Maple Arisugawa who is the CEO of Banded Rocking Records (or short form, BRR) approached her and asked her to join his recording agency. She meets ChuChu, Retoree, and Moa, the vocalist, bassist, and drummer of Plasmagica, one of BRR's bands. The shy Retoree asks Cyan to join, and she accepts. Soon, Cyan found out that she is here to fight the Dark Monster problem. AND SO, she, together with the band members tackle it and of course, perform together as a band. Well, as for Cyan, she will be finding a way to get back to her own world, other than just tackling the Dark Monster problem and performing together with the band.
Why Cyan suddenly becomes a catgirl?

Shingan CrimsonZ...overly dramatic bunch of people
As for the second season (which is named as Show by Rock #), it is set after the events of the first season. Well, Cyan? She returned to her world during the first season and join the band in her school. BTW, the second season starts with an intergalactic fleet led by the malevolent Queen of Darkness, Victorious, attacked Sound Planet and destroyed Midi City. After that, a mysterious band named Bud Virgin Logic, together with Dagger Morse, drain the remaining people of their sound energy and plunging the city into chaos and despair.
Destroying Sound Planet...
OK...Who is Bud Virgin Logic?
Dagger again?!
A devasted Midi city...
Well, that escalated quickly, right? Wait, we have a group of SOLE survivors of this disaster, the band named Ninjinriot. They decided to travel back in time to prevent the incident from happening and somehow, save Plasmagica members (excluding Cyan as she was back in the Human World) during a beneficiary concert from the hands of Bud Virgin Logic and Dagger Morse. Cyan is transported back to the Sound World by Kamui, a member of Ninjinriot who arrived in the Human World. With Cyan and her friends being informed of that dark future, they will have to stop Dagger AGAIN, PLUS Victorious from destroying Sound Universe.
Ninjinriot, the survivors
Cyan is back!!! kuru, kuru...nya...
Victorious, the Queen of Darkness
I watched the anime 1st season a while back. I enjoyed it, it was good. There is a good amount of comedy and a good amount of music and action. Same for the 2nd season, except that it has some element of drama when flashing Victorious' past and during the time after Victorious is defeated (and was in some sort of trance). I would say that BOTH seasons is GOOD, like really good. Oh yeah, I had a blog post that announces the list of anime that I'll rate for now. There will be MORE, trust me. OK, let's move on from here. Shall we?

Oh yeah, BTW, I haven't mentioned that there is an OVA for this anime, it is called Show by Rock!! Short!! It is mostly just very short episodes of fans services and jokes. Well, that's the END. So, God bless you! See you again next time!
Hi, people! It's time to find the next brightest STAR...from anime. Anyway, it's been a while since I have talked about the Aikatsu series. I was really busy to get myself out of my study life, which I've stuck for a little longer (or maybe too long) than what I wanted. So, I need my focus less on my blog and the thing I like to do for quite a while. SORRY! Is that the same reason again?! Anyway, a cute expression from Ako. Anyway, without further ado, it's time to talk about the new promising STARS!!!! I mean the new Aikatsu stars, literally. I think I had given away the topic for this post. Well...まー、いいか～！ WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned. Don't blame me for being spoiled if you INSIST on continuing to read this post.
Hi~! How are you? I have finally published that blog post on BokuYaba . It took me quite a while because I'm either too distracted by my games or too busy with work, or just too lazy to complete it after being tired from work. Oof indeed. But, anyway, I did it! That is what matters, ain't it? Love Live once again!!! Anyway, this time, I feel like talking about a song from the Love Live franchise. Well, it's not from the anime, but it went viral after the Love Live Asia Tour in Yokohama on February 1 & 2, 2025. To be honest, I only noticed around last month when a friend of mine kept having the Discord activity of him listening to the song. I will talk about the details a bit later. Without further ado, let's go! Disclaimer:- Although the song that I'm talking about is a song is not from Love Live anime, there will probably be certain elements of the Love Live anime because of the nature of the Love Live Project being a 2.5D multimedia project. So, there mi...
Good day, everybody. How is life? It had been a long time since I found the time and motivation to write it. I was too caught up with gaming and working. No guarantee that I won't have a long gap in between blog posts, just like the time between the post on AiScream and the post on BokuYaba anime . Regarding that AiScream post, it was a fun dive into how a light-hearted song using the "ice-cream" pun became a viral hit and captured the hearts of fans, even though I had a hard time completing it due to my day job's workload and trying too hard to integrate multiple AI chat suggestions. As for that Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu (BokuYaba) post back in May, it was once my really huge obsession. Remember this moment? Oops, it looks like that first paragraph might be a bit too long. Umm....whatever. It's fine, I guess. Anyway, this time, I will continue from that BokuYaba post that I published back in May to talk about a song that still gives me an emotional vibe: B...
Welcome back, everyone! How is life, eh? For me, it has been a steady life since my blog post about the opening theme song of BokuYaba season 2, 「僕は…」 . I will try to publish more content with the help of ChatGPT , speeding up the editorial process and structuring my blog posts in a way that suits my requests. Anyway, that song is bursting with sweetness and the awkward thrill of young love, and captures those small, clumsy emotions we all feel when love first starts to bloom. It was a good one, I tell ya. Shana and Yuji are fighting together...Remember this? But today, we’re moving from soft and passionate pinks to blazing reds — from innocence to intensity. What am I gonna talk about, you ask? Well, it is the 1st opening theme song of Shakugan no Shana season 2, JOINT by Kawada Mami . Yes, it’s not a soft song — it’s a flame, a fiery and fiercely burning one. BUT, just like 「僕は…」 , it is more than just fiery passion. It is much deeper tha...
Hello, once again readers! I'm glad that you are going read through this post. I had done a review about the two of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series , Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's. Well, I going to review another one more, which is Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Girls wearing swimsuits! Enjoy! You might be asking, "Why only Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS?" Well, I answer that later on this post. Let's move on, shall we? WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You have been warned.
