Patreon Extras, 7/20/2025
Added 2025-07-19 15:00:10 +0000 UTCHola Familia!
If you are reading this, I am currently at a family reunion and will probably be quieter than usual. In all honesty, the next few weeks will be pretty quiet from me since I will have summer band as well. Don't worry though! Content will still be coming here and Patreon!
Here's the line-up:
BAND-MAID Sunday:
The Maids drop the hammer of JUSTICE on us with a sick riff and some killer bass!
PATREON Extras:
Keneko Ayano - Kibun
This is the second time I have checked out this band. The first time was a lovely experience and this second time? It was totally worth it! This band has a way of creating a beautiful overall sound that not only creates a enjoyable listening experience, but also gives the listener a chance to explore their musical emotions. I hope you check this one out!
ゲスの極み乙女 (Gesu No Kiwami Otome) - オンナは変わる (Women Change)
This group desribes themselves as a hip-hop/progressive band. I am not so sure about the hip-hop part, but MAN! This group is one to check it if you haven't heard them before. This is a band where each member stands out musically on their own. I know this is my first time reacting to them, but if all their music is like this, then I need to listen to them more often!
BAND-MAID, PRIME - [TALK] One-on-one talk, vol.3, "Akane + Saiki"/vol.4, "Kanami + Saiki"
We listened to the first 2 volumes last time and I couldn't help myself this week with the next 2 talk videos. I love that they ask and talk about their musical experiences as well as how they ended up joining BAND-MAID. Their stories are short, sweet and cute, so I thank Ohrenje for the in depth documentaries!
ANIME Reactions:
Sound! Euphonium, Season 2, Ep. 6
We get some insight on Kumiko's sister as well as Taki-sensei!
Rock is a Lady's Modesty, Ep. 6
New characters? YES PLEASE!
Girls Band Cry
FINISHED! It was over too soon, but it was a great time!
NEW ANIME
I am taking suggestions from Patreon members! Please drop some suggestions!
I cannot wait to see family and in some ways I am excited for band camp, but I'm already tired thinking about the summer heat! I hope you all are well!
Con Amor,
💜NittPicc💜

I'm going to put "Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night" down for when I finish "Rock Is A Lady's Modesty." I'm intrigued. Lol

2025-07-26 14:22:38 +0000 UTCI do think K-On is worth a watch, both for it's cultural impact of helping inspire a generation of girls & boys to pick up instruments & revive light music clubs across Japan and because it's a quintessential example of the 'cute girls doing cute things' sub-genre of slice-of-life anime. The songs are very catchy and it was one of Kyo-Ani's early hits, but it is also potentially a big investment of time at 40 episodes across two seasons (including an OVA) and a movie. I'm not sure there's as much for you to sink your teeth into both with the narrative & musically compared with Sound! Euphonium. What I am going to recommend isn't actually a music anime at all, though I do enjoy the soundtrack a great deal. 'A Place Further than the Universe' is an amazing single season 13 episode standalone show available on Crunchyroll which is written by screenwriter Jukki Hanada, who was also heavily involved in both Girls Band Cry and Sound! Euphonium. He also wrote the scripts for eleven episodes of K-On! and seven episodes of Chobits funnily enough. It's a coming of age story/adventure with stunning visuals and great character development, only mildly emotionally devastating in places and mostly uplifting, don't want to explain the plot too much though cos it'd be getting into spoiler territory. Since you have Hidive now there's also 'Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night' which I previously recommended with caveats mostly about you accessing it legally. It's another anime original based around a music/creative collective formed of misfits, didn't quite match the initial ambition of the story (in my eyes it started as an A+ but was a B- by the end) but is still very watchable and quite self enclosed at a single 12 episode season. They have also produced some music beyond the show and recently did a merch crossover with Girls Band Cry that implied they might exist within the same universe.
