Ouhei's a real tsundere, lol. The TCW crew feels like a tight-knit family: Saimon taking on the fatherly role, Youhei as the caring mother, and Shiki and Ryuu as their kids. Youhei's attentiveness and concern go deeper than you'd expect, which I found especially endearing in this episode. And let's not forget the smoothness of Saimon and that voice of his.

Regarding the songs, I found myself enjoying this one more than cozmez's. I still have a preference for BAE's, but with a few more listens, I could see myself really liking it.

I'm thinking Ryu was subjected to some sort of experiments and ended up like that.

Expectation: Music, rap contests etc.
Reality: TRAUMA, DRUGS, HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION

Btw I know that this is a mix media project but are they adapting something for this anime or is this a new story?

Having a trap reaction together is actually a slang for orgy.

This episode changes things up a little bit by knowing the result first and the consequence later, instead of building up the pre-battle hype.

Call me dumb but I just know TCW is "The Cat's Whisker", the name of the group that sings in this episode.

It’s Ryu time! I’m biased to like this episode, so I liked that we finally got to see everyone interacting~ Still think Bae had the best choreographed song/cg, this one looked wonky at times

Ryu’s dinosaur onesie was the best bit 😂

Let's see:

-Did they omit the ENTIRE BATTLE JUSTICES, INCLUDING THEIR SONGS? WTF?
-The main focus in this episode is Ryu!!! Super cool!!! I love Ryuu!
-We see fragments of Ryu's past... that is surprising not to have to wait so long since the Battle Will is revealed in part of that but it would be seen in anime in the 2nd season
-We see info about Alter trigger WHICH ABOUT TIME! In the drama voices they barely and only name the superficial. And that Shura is there with that scientist is because they are planning something.
-4 Real animated? That's why I forgive them!! 4 Real is TCW's best song in phase 1! is my favorite TCW's Songs

The other week they will adapt Battle Pride, BAE vs TCW... I just hope they adapt well the part of BAE that has good revelations

ps: Am I the only one who cried when Shiki suffers from the trap reaction and screams? I know very well why but seeing it in the anime is painful.

Love to see TCW & AKYR interactions!!
The kids are so energetic and exhausting 😆
While the adults get to have a serious talk.
Love the cat and his name is amazing! 🤣
We got glimpses of Ryu’s past and him being serious for a second, it’s just as creepy and eerie as I imagined… I loved how all over the place and very much in your face he is 🩵
Poor Shiki, we had to watch him suffer here, but thankfully they’re a family and they’ll get through anything together!
Also I love how carefree and cheerful Iori seems, but he also always sounds vaguely threatening. They did an amazing job 💛

Then we have Haruomi cameo in the lab part? So he was more involved then we knew 🤔

It’s also interesting how they’re moving things around. We got the adult talk after their round is already over, and everything is from TCW’S perspective. I think we’ll see the AKYR side of what happens in JUSTICE in their own focused episode, maybe together with FAMILY.

I wanted to hear the meow song though 😿💙. But we still got 4 REAL so 🤷‍♂️

These are projects with several forms of media in them. This one has music and drama CDs from what I've seen.
For example, Uma Musume is a multimedia franchise with a game, anime (season 3 airing right now, I really recommend it), two serialized manga and a ton of music albums.

So nice to see Hokusai being a giant and just existing. I love him.

Shiki's kind of annoying....

Saimon's deep voice has got me good hnnnnnnnngh.

Kind of sad we didn't get to see the actual battles but whatever.

Interestingly enough the OP is called Rise Up. Hypmic's OP is Rise from Dead.

I would so love a Hypmic/Paradox Live collab one day.

This episode was quite good, I liked the interaction between The Cat's Whiskers and the Akanyatsura.
The kitten is extremely cute, but I felt the the story didn't go much forward. The previous with the BAE and cozmez was more dynamic.
And I was also surprised that the "4REAL" song was used for this episode, I counted on the "Faith" song. But I'm personally fine with it, because I prefer the "4REAL" song.

And I love this anime, because it gives extra meaning to the songs.

TCW for life

I still am constantly delighted by Hanae's performance as Ryu he is so so so silly and whimsical. The found family trope has never been stronger aw they all love each other. Even Yohei with his "what are you stupid? idiot..." YOU LOVE YOUR KIDS

akanyatsura's family dynamic is of course the cutest thing ever what's new. Hokusai being 24 but he's just one of the kids. so excited for next episode.

I love how faithful we are to the audio dramas. I also love the sound in this anime. The voice dynamics/proximity, the way that they have background conversations and commotions are all done so well !!!

@Dan_ALves For the most part, everything that's been animated is already on the CDs. There have been some changes/additions to make the story fit the anime medium so people can better understand it. All the songs except for Fly High (the first song in episode 1) and another upcoming insert song in episode 7 are songs from the CDs.

@Dan_ALves essentially, yes! the anime is following the plot of the voice dramas, with minor alterations. aside from the new songs created for the anime, all the tracks are available on streaming services. they've been releasing albums containing music and drama tracks since 2020. I think there's a manga? not sure about it's plot. all of the characters have their own twitter accounts that they post on semi-regularly too! :-)

Yes. In fact, there are times when the characters interact with each other. For example, Kanata blocked Allen and Zen (The Muscle Boy) because he is very tsundere.
There are times when they even interact with fans, either on Twitter or on the official accounts of Paradox Tribe, which is a ParaLive community app where you can talk to people from all over the world, vote for stage battles (The current vote is for the Final Round of Road To Legend) and talk to the characters...obviously their Twitter accounts and the Paradox Tribe app are in Japanese.

@Anika05Suki First, why does my message appear in Spanish when I wrote it in English.
Second, that´s a whole world I had no idea existed. Talk about commitment to something. Also, I read that the voice actors of the anime were also the ones singing the songs. Is that true as well?

@Dan_ALves Yes! The seiyuu that voice the characters are the ones actually singing the songs. 96neko, who voices Anne, and Shima, who voices Zen, are well-known utaite (roughly means someone who covers songs and posts them on the JP site nico nico douga).

@StarJem That´s actually pretty cool. It would be a bit weird to have a voice when the character is talking but when they start singing someone else would take over. It helps the immersion on the world.

Not a huge fan of TCW. They weren't even rapping, just singing. Shiki is a little annoying because he's so whiny. I do wonder what his relationship with one of the twins is. I don't like that the performance is always at the end of the episode because they talk about it during the whole other half.

Song wise Cats Whispers song was probably the weakest so far while BAE had the best followed by Cozmez. Also the ED Every Day Every Night has grown on me, those two kings.

The biopharma science fiction underpinned from big pharma is really interesting and keeps he show so intriguing on so many levels beyond the pretty boys and hip hop and rap infusions with visual effects. Such an awesome show.

shiki is great and I hope we learn more about him. Suzaku, Kanata, and Shiki are easily my favorites.

tcw is probably gonna be my favourite group here. they are so far anyway.
bae is actually objectively better, but them here (despite having shiki, who is a little bit annoying and not actually for me) are my kind of ensemble.

plotwise, this is getting a little intriguing. i like the comment someone here made that the metal thing (forgot the name) is probably a metaphor for drug usage and if there actually is drug research related to it, it could be good and it could go south really easy too, storywise.
but the whole world we have been presented here has got me and i'm even interested in going further with the audio cds and other stuff everyone is talking about.
maybe i'll look for a good wikia once i get to the point the anime is already.

I actually liked this episode quite a bit though. I liked how both TCW and Akanyatsura interacts within teams and with those outside of their teams. It was an oddly comforting episode.
The rap wasn't super great, but that's okay.
I like the way the bar was set up... but where da customer's at? ouo;;; I know that's part of the reason they want to win, but dang. Perhaps it's time to start hosting more happy hours, open mics or something, bros.
