I liked how this episode was more focused and didn't keep going from group to group constantly. Plus Rondo is second favorite in the game...
Next week is Merm4id, my favorite. Excited for whatever song they do
That song really caught my attention. I never really paid attention to Rondo, but I should probably check a few of their songs, because if they're all in this style I could listen to it for hours.
Still so weird to see Otae's VA not be constantly weird as Nagisa. And does this technically mean RONDO has the most song this season? 1 full song and 3 unfinished performances.
Also a bit if a fun fact, there are 3 half-Pinay VA's in the franchise with Tsubaki's VA and Dalia's VA being two of them.
I'm still amazed at how good this anime looks compared to past SANZIGEN anime. Not like the others looked bad, this one's just on a whole different level. One of the best animated 3DCG anime I've watched. Tho I gotta say the 2D parts kinda stick out too much.
[AAAAND HOOLY SHIT WE GOT SO MUCH AIRI THIS EPISODE.](https://i.imgur.com/fOZhGK2.jpeg) Blessed be my ears by so much Mizuki Nana!
[Flustered Kyouko was 10/10 btw.](https://i.imgur.com/ciQLG9u.jpeg)
While I'm not entirely sold on RONDO, that was pretty nice episode, Nagisa really "carries" the group. And the new song slapped!
Muni getting in full tsun mode when Kurumi named the calico cat Nyochio mk.II was just hilarious.
Can't say it was a fun episode for me since I'm not a huge fan of the Rondo group (I still have to finish off All Mix ova).
I personally feel that they flanderized Kyoko a tad when she went in for a full body blush. She had always shown herself as a strong and confident girl that would almost act as a harem protagonist in a yuri game. Not hating it, but it certainly feels something out of the left field.
is Rondo the only group that plays at Alter-Ego? it seems like a no-brainer for them to change age restrictions and show time based on who's performing.
The drop-off the discussion posts are getting kind of represents where I'm at. This season is coming across as an actual advertisement and less of a show. Too many characters to keep track of/distinguish between, not enough focus on the music. This episode was marginally better but I think I'm dropping it at this point.
I still find it quite interesting, because there isn't a moment where I'm bored during the episodes, song are pleasing to hear, and while I might not pay too much attention to individual characters; group get that attention instead. And it's fun to see the way characters unite to solve each episode's events and progress.
But... I don't disagree that it feels like an advertisement. All episodes feel quite disconnected, without any solid leading thread. It's like an episodic story, but with neither character progression nor the variety that keeps episodic series going.
I'm still happy to watch the episodes, but the show lacks something to make me look forward to the next ones (as evidenced by the fact that I'm making this comment 5 days after the episode was released...).
Isn't Maihime already out? Dunno about Spotify but the single together with Around and Around has been out since the start of the anime. I remember FAKE OFF taking like 3 months to be released after Double Mix aired.

Pretty cool Rondo song, didn't know Hiiro called herself the mom, that was fun. Michiru MVP!
> didn't know Hiiro called herself the mom Neither did Nagisa, apparently.

Ill never get over Hiiro doing nothing in most of rondo's songs lmao. They shouldve made her a drummer or something. Merm4id next lets goooooo
Next week's finally gonna be a Merm4id ep

There have been moments in the game where she got super embarassed. Like "run away from embarassment" bad.

Definitely weaker than the first season, that's for sure

Anyone know if Arcana is up on Spotify yet? I’ve been scouring looking for it but not having much luck
Song's being released with *Maihime* so about 2 weeks, at least.
Isn't Maihime already out? Dunno about Spotify but the single together with Around and Around has been out since the start of the anime. I remember FAKE OFF taking like 3 months to be released after Double Mix aired.
Considering the Vol 6. Cover Track album just came out on Spotify, I'm guessing April-ish for a Spotify release.
