If you don’t watch, you miss a top tier anime. If you watch and don’t agree, stop watching. Not a hard choice really.
To me it’s a 10, the CGI actually makes the roundness of faces so much better than 2D, the expressions, specially the comedy ones, are incredible. A crossover anime where 3D is actually a positive factor.

i almost didn't start it when i saw that everything was 3d but i'm glad i did because i'm really enjoying it! it's funny and the music and voice acting are great

The 3d animation takes some getting used to (unless you've watched the bandori anime, then you should prolly be fine) its overall pretty good so far, the songs are nice too. Its just a nice band story with nothing really crazy going on

Its my first 3d anime. Before i watched 1 ep of Land of the Loustrous but didn't continued. I'm only watching this because of Toei Animation. So far anime is good, music is good, even character animations are good. If you like musical anime dont have problems with 3d you can give it a try.

It's an easy 7/10. Not that bad, not that good but still it was good. CGI ain't that bad tbh.

I've only watched 2 episodes so far, but the 3DCG ain't bad. Unlike others, I thought the soundtrack so far was just alright, but hey, I can see the potential for better stuff (I haven't checked out the musical project behind this anime), so we'll have to see. (OP is a banger)

The quality of the animation isn't exactly consistent, but that's to be expected. They seem to want to put the most effort into the band performances, which makes sense.

Since those scenes are meant to be the climaxes for different points into the story, I'd suggest checking out, if not the first episode, at least the first performance during that same episode to see if the anime will interest you.

I like it. It's very good imo. CGI doesn't bother me. I'm quite used to it atm. I'm up to the current ep of the anime and my rating of it is 8.5/10.

jellyfish cant swim at night completely invalidates this anime imo

They have definite similarities and overlap, plus just the general coincidence that they're airing within the same season, but they do possess some differences which leads me to feel both series can be appreciated for different reasons. Despite sounding extraordinarily similar in many ways on paper, the actual experience when watching them can be quite different. Jellyfish is a lot more polished and technically impressive, but this kind of has a more raw makeshift passion which shines through from the novice voice actors to getting this animation to work to optimal effect to the way emotions are portrayed visually and in sound.

The characters in Girls Band Cry are interesting and cute and the story is entertaining. I did not like the 3D animation at first, but after episode 1 I got used to it. I'm not sure if it's just me but the animation seemingly improved in episode 3 as well.

7.5/10. Worth checking out and a pretty rewarding watch.

I just started Jellyfish Can't Swim at Night but in my opinion these animes are not at all similar. The only thing in common is the genre. Both seem to be great shows to look forward to, as a K-On! and Bocchi fan.

it seems like we have similar opinion on the matter
yah now that i cought up till ep 4 in GBC, their geners is same to jellyfish, thought the story is totally a different thing. jelly fish i more practical, relatable and realistic.
while GBC is relatable yet not so realistic or to say convincing, and i understand the concept which they are going with, but the MC is really annoying most of the time, i feel like they are over stepping boundry or over exclating things. i do agree it' funny some time. it is a good watch though.

it's because they pulled stunts like~ where she, takes the gutter running in the rain, steels the mick form street performers, and shouts some talks-no-justu, and then the other girls show up takes the gutter, and they starts performing, in a perfect sync. That's not so realistic. And their are many more, which just make the conversation longer, so just take this on as an example for now.
And it's relatable as i said, taking your anger out on someone else is fine and most of all pll did that sort of thig at that age.
Which is realistic, i agree, but they cross the line where she stright out swing's that dam bulb on a stranger, tell me where is this realistic. I know it's comode but you have to draw a line at some point. that's why I said message=70965482]while GBC is relatable yet not so realistic or to say convincing.

See no one wants to be that net picking guy. i don't want to be either.
that's what I ment when i said it not so realistic.

Well, I agree with you in a way regarding the end of the first episode of Nina giving a nice speech, the other main girl jumping in and performing seamlessly, the two other musicians present just going with it and allowing Nina to monopolize the microphone and everything to happen as it did - sure. But in a way something like that, timing of characters' actions being coincidental or the one in 100, one in 1,000, or one in one million time something like that would happen the same way in real life in order to feel more epic and cinematic honestly happens in some form or another at some point in virtually all anime and all other series and films. That's just part of a show.

Regarding Nina swinging that light at the irate passerby who tells her to quiet down, I wanted to comment on this and I think it's important to mention and point something out about it, because I've definitely heard at least a few other people mention that scene in a negative way, either that it was unrealistic or took Nina's character too far or something to that effect. Here's the thing: I agree that usually the average normal person wouldn't resort to that immediately in a verbal argument with a stranger. Key operative words being "average", "normal", and "usually". Not every person is a normal average one and not every situation is usual. She's an emotionally unstable teenage girl who just left her entire life behind and moved to a big city that day, and for all we know may be neurodivergent or have other medical issues or issues in her family history (physical fighting and altercations, abuse, etc. - not saying that the anime is going this route, but everything is always a possibility). Far stranger things have happened in real life. Real life people have assaulted each other over everything imaginable and sometimes almost nothing at all. People have been shot over car traffic.

I grew up in a small middle to upper middle-class safe suburban town where there were rarely serious violent incidents in school or the town as a whole, but even there there were definitely physically and emotionally violent, aggressive, and unstable kids. So I don't find that unrealistic. It's mild compared to what could happen.

I think it's good. Even though the anime uses CGI almost entirely, I would still recommend this anime. There are many things that can be judged, but there are 2 things that made me interested in this anime. First, the soundtrack, I quite like the soundtrack of this anime, don't forget the songs that this anime sings. Second, the expression of each character. For some reason, I really like the shape of their facial expressions. For example, expressions of anger, happiness, etc. I felt like I could feel the expressions they were giving off, so it was amusing. If asked, is this anime good to follow every week, then I will answer, "Yes"

I don't know who are these "few people watching this", it is constantly in my YouTube recommendations, and everyone in the comments keep bullshitting how well the CGI is made. We must be living in separate universes.

I am not going to watch it because:

1. It is another seasonal anime that will get forgotten as soon as this season ends and another seasonal hypeup appears.
   
2. It is slice of life, which is usually an indicator of poor quality (most slice of life anime are boring and uninteresting).
   
3. Its screenwriter hasn't worked on many great works, except for endless moeblobs, and even legendary works he worked on have significant writing flaws.
   
4. This CGI is at the level of a PSP game and not animation. I refuse to watch CGI anime just out of principle unless it is evident the animators respect their craft and their audience and are capable of utilizing even these inferior technologies up to the point I'm amazed someone made this 12 years ago.
   
5. There is no better music anime than Nodame Cantabile, stop trying already.
   

at the most the CGI is not hurting my eyes. and IAM not that pick as you, so i can bare with it.

and one more thing what do you think about the
CGI in "Trugen stumped" . because i think it was very impressive.

Except for a place further than Stein's gate...

They don't have Pixar budget
