The fans at ANN seem to like this little show, giving it a solid 7.9.
I think it's a little better than that personally giving a 8.5 . . .
This isn't quite as nice looking as some of the Kyo-ani shows with the use of a few animation short-cuts
in some of the episodes
BUT
you really need to look to find them, the story is that much fun.
The thing that appeals to me about this show is the fact that when these girls play together . . .
. . . they kind of suck . . . to begin with . . .
They aren't bad but, so far, they aren't that good . . . something I find to actually be,
GOD FORBID . . . somewhat realistic.
They start out like most any group of musicians, they need to practice and generally get
side-tracked with other things on the way to proficiency.
In the case of the "After-school Tea Time" they get distracted with school and snacks.
When I hung out with a band,
I was out of school so we got distracted with work, girls, drinking, and snacks.
Yes the Les Paul that Yui has is modeled after the real one that does cost $2500. BUT
You can get a nice Epiphone replica that plays almost as good for about $400, even with the Tiger Maple top.
Mio's lefty 3 color Jazz bass would set you back about $1500
but like so many things today you can get the Mexi/China-made one for about $700 but I don't think it would be 3-colored.
I could go on about this kind of stuff but I better stop.
This is a fun show to watch, it isn't about angsty teens that can't get the guy or girl they want.
They don't pour all their unrequited love into badly worded blues tunes that are . . .
. . . annoying . . .
It's more "pop" music than anything.
Every now and then it's kind of fun to chew on some bubble-gum.
I'm hoping that I can get some more images of the girls in their cosplay outfits.
Back home.
