Agree about Spice and Wolf so far. I have kept watching based on the fantastic reputation the first show has (that I haven’t watched), but this season has so far not really connected with me. If it wasn’t “Spice and Wolf”, then I would have dropped it by now.
The one thing that any music anime has to do right in my opinion is the music. So, it is a shame to hear that Girls Band Cry doesn’t deliver on that front. I don’t typically watch music shows, but I was debating checking this one out since I heard good things about the CG. So, I might just check out Trigun Stampede or something else instead.
I am judging by the perhaps unreasonable standard of Paripi Koumei’s outstanding soundtrack and its songs’ perfect integration into its story, but to be fair the best feature of GBC’s band songs are the vocals.
Unfortunately GBC’s music was over-produced to emphasize the vocals and didn’t match the locations where the girls were playing, e.g. on the sidewalk, or a small stage in the open air. I also felt that the focus on the vocals wasn’t fair to the other band members whom the story worked so hard to recruit.
