"At an elite all-girls' academy where refined young ladies gather, Suzunomiya Lilisa, now the daughter of a real estate tycoon after her mother remarried, is forced to abandon her guitar and rock music to fit in. However, her passion is reignited by sounds from the old school building, where she meets a skilled drummer who shares her love for rock. Together, they embrace their inner rockstars, elegantly clashing and shouting their way through the academy in this captivating tale of grace and rebellion.

A surprise hit for me (forgive me seasonal thread; I doubted you!), this is a high energy rebellion against proper etiquette and an embrace of raw passion; just the thing to cure a stuffy school life. Also a surprising amount of trash talk. Recommended.

episode 3

a toned down episode.

why is there a center shot of a clock if Im not supposed to read the time? how can they practice at 12? it's too early for them to be out of school in noon and too late at night for it to be midnight.
I don't buy this. the entire school. some of the girls were said to be daughters of fashion designers. and that's not old money. that should mean they are the forefront of pop culture and stuff. there's no way for them to be so sheltared. there's no way to mistake that image for impressionism. and I can say that with 0.1/10 of artistic knowledge.

still fun, I hope the next episode has more drama.

I didn't notice the clock stuff.

As for the other 'rock slipping out' gags, I'm taken to believe they are just interpreting everything about her as generously as possible because they already admire her... lady-ness.

Neat that Lilisa is sold on doing everything she touches to perfection. Her solution to injecting guitar back into her life is to simply have infinite capacity for all her pursuits. No compromises.

I don't get the family situation, it seems like her mother married into it, but her turned down attitude says otherwise. like it's a sacrifice she's enduring for her daughter.

I like the sister character, but at the same time, it's why I don't buy the "every classmate is a sheltered innocent flower" vibe. she's been rich her entire life, she doesn't pretend to be a doll.

Man, Lilisa has it rough.

I got the impression that her mother feels that Lilisa's father nearly ruined them. Or their divorce was particularly bitter. Or his death was a sore spot and her mother blamed rock music for his death? We don't know the details, but her mother got psycho eyes only when they were talking about "unrefined" instruments and rock music.

I think it is because the majority of the student body really are sheltered idiots. They were raised in households where the main goal is going to be marrying them off.

That's exactly how Alice's initial impression of meeting Otoha went. She wouldn't be a prime minister herself, but she's certainly slated to birth one or be married to one. :/

The exceptions have main cast benefits, but Lilisa grew up in very normal circumstances, Alice got shrewd from not having a mother in the picture, Otoha is a freak, and Otoha's spy seems to focused solely on protecting Otoha's image (which Lilisa benefits from greatly now).

I look forward to Otoha and Lilisa messing up their first practice with their symphonic casual ensemble by both slowly drifting into their aggressive psychopath behavior.
