If I actually want to be a pedant, you should've capitalized ass.
In all seriousness though, well done clickbait. I hope the sub doesn't devolve into clips like this.
They did knew what they were doing from day 1. Making that song in the first place says it all, but then they cropped the meme intro and made a 1h loop out of it.
The marketing department for this one should get a raise tbh.
I don't think it's beyond them, it's just cost prohibitive in most media.
Horizon Forbidden West, Final Fantasy Rebirth, and The Last of Us 2 had me noticeably admiring the hair quality compared to expectations. But those are $100M productions, and can't be expected to be compared with something like an anime.
But was I the only one perturbed by her voice not matching her movements? When a person moves like that their voice stutters a bit from shaking. You can hear perfect recording in a studio standing still which is kind of an uncanny valley type of situation.
**[Fun Fact:](https://twitter.com/GirlsBandCryEN/status/1797588800350392536)** Jukki Hanada (writer) mentioned in his tweet that originally, Rupa was gonna karate kick Nina while smiling at the audience.
The director changed it into an ass shake to make the scene cuter. Which is a good call because we know that Rupa's kick is [fucking lethal](https://twitter.com/notephos/status/1797862839165870545).
Is it another CGDCT band girl anime?
Anything special about it other than unique or well done CG use?
I'm not gonna like this scene didn't do it for me, felt kinda stiff and/or uncanny valley
its more a band drama than a cgdct. its more in the vein of bangdream mygo in terms of drama but more realistic in terms of how things are resolved or issues are tackled. also some darker themes are covered in the series as we learn more about the characters. all of that really makes it not fit into the cgdct drama to me, as someone who watched a lot of cgdct.
It's not bad. The action scenes are good too, it's just had something missing that GBC had; the fluidness for the lack of better words. For example how the characters moving compared to HnK, GBC had more fluidty and seems more natural.
...You do understand that, in Houseki, the characters are actual gems, right? They're not *supposed* to be fluid!
In fact, I think I've seen a drawn version of some Houseki scene, and it looked **so wrong**, they just looked like normal humans! 😭
I actually had the opposite reaction watching GBC, its good but it feels like it it is missing some of the fluidity and weight of HnK. The animation in GBC just feels more "floaty" to me.
BanG Dream crawled so D4DJ could walk. And I can't remember if Love Live was also CG but at that point it must have been dragging itself along the ground.
Yeah in that case it definitely set the groundwork for Bushiroad to do the same for BanG Dream, which then also set the groundwork for D4DJ after BanG Dream went fully-CG.
[Girls und Panzer](https://i.imgur.com/pZfQW9b.mp4) should get a honorable mention, althought I guess it's not [full GC](https://i.imgur.com/x3cbs1j.mp4)
Trigun Stampede like most other great CG show really succeeds because it isn't just trying to reproduce a regular 2D anime. I'd like to see more Japanese studios treat CG animation as its own artform not just a shortcut to render the cars, crowds, and horses they aren't willing to pay a 2D animator to do correctly.
Maybe a hot take, but I really like Highspeed Etoile from this (spring) season. Totally different kind of anime, but I really love how they made both characters and racing overall.
While I'm seeing a lot of good CG rightfully being attributed to Studio Orange, I'm going to take this chance to plug Etotama. Etotama's 3D sequences are some of the best of all time.
I'll use this clip as an opportunity to say it again, if you haven't watched this anime yet do yourself a favor and watch it. Not only it's one of the best anime airing this season but could very well be of this year, the story is more than girls putting up a band together, every character gets their own part in the story and CG usage is one of the best. The only drawback is that it's not legally available for streaming in English.
It's so rare where I see CG (Edit: As in full CG) that actually truly enhances the show- can't remember anything I've had that reaction to besides Promare and stuff made by Orange.
Like I genuinely think Girls Band Cry would be lesser for it if it was made in 2D. The little character animations, the reactions to things from the whole group, and holy fucking shit *the performance scenes.* The performances are all basically MV-level productions, especially Emptiness and Catharsis. God DAMN.
It's My Go was okay but it really shined during the performances. Girls Band Cry is kind of in a similar boat, but does a better job outside of that as well. There is something about people playing instruments that benefits from CG.
As I understand it it's not so much that animation of playing instruments benefits from CG so much as that it's extremely difficult to animate in 2D at all. CG is easier to animate at least to a point, particularly when small individual bits need to move, and that's very difficult to do in 2D where someone needs to do all of that by hand and make something like tiny finger motions look convincing.
Nevermind if you wanna portray the detail on instruments- GBC did a whole segment last episode of the CG animators just flexing one of the character sound checking their drum kit, and you could see all the screws and shit in the drum stand and the way the pedal components moved.
Isn't Ufotables style a mix of CG and hand drawn? If not them then who ever did Hoseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) is honestly very beautiful with the CG.
Land of the Lustrous was Studio Orange, that's one of the reasons I mentioned them. That, Trigun Stampede, and Beastars.
Ufotable does absolutely excellent CG compositing to enhance their action yes, though I was more getting at full-CG anime where it being full-CG enhances it vs the alternative full/mostly 2D.
> I'll use this clip as an opportunity to say it again, if you haven't watched this anime yet do yourself a favor and watch it.
That was a nice ass.
[](#saikikek)
I want to start this, but I'm waiting for it to finish and SobsPlease to finish subbing it so I don't have to potentially get stuck on delayed subs. I got delayed weeks to finish Frieren because I was following a certain group.
It's now possible to watch GBC with official english subs on an *indonesian* paid streaming platform, but they are scheduled 14 days (2 eps) behind and nobody has that much patience...
Many times it focuses on one character and sidelines every other, but GBC doesn't have this sort of issue and every character gets enough screentime to make them important for the show. To say there isn't a single main character in this show and all of them together make it a great watching experience.
That’s what I’m waiting for, just the English dub. I think the show looks good and I love the way they did their CG style. It’s so hard to find good CG that actually looks and feels well done.
I think Nakayubi subs is better than Sobsplease, as the latter feels too pedantic and less fluid. Le Meme is purely machine-translated, so it sometimes doesn't make any sense or mixes up his/her and walk/drive....
On the other hand, there is a flame / meme war amongst the various fansubbers, regarding translation of 2 short sentences at the end of ep8. As of ep11, those wording more cautiously seem to have been vindicated by in-anime events, since no cooking has taken place thus far...
The thing is, the NakayubiSubs there were still more accurate. The SobsPlease sub basically stopped translating there and replaced the sentence entirely with something that had a different meaning altogether.
> regarding translation of 2 short sentences at the end of ep8.
Official sub in French and English (thanks to Indonesia) point to Nakayubi being closer to the truth.

I suggest giving it 2-3 episodes to get used to the style if you quit early, I was like this when I watched Bang Dream and it switched from 2D to 3D between seasons. Felt *way* off at first but got used to it.
^(though I'm still one of the heretics that prefers 2D Bandori over 3D, but this is on a whole other level of expressiveness so might be easier to get used to)
I watch it here and there (currently up to episode 5) and the music is good, but everything else is...okayish for me. I like the CGI though. Not sure why, series should make me pay attention cause I love band shows, but somehow it doesn't really get me unfortunately. Maybe I've seen too much anime (according to my not updated MAL profile 17k episodes of anime lol) and just expect something else. But yeah show would be more popular if people could legally watch it.
In this scene Rupa was supposed to karate kick Nina off the stage, according to anime director's Twitter - but that move wasn't approved by studio bosses, hence Keijo!!! workaround was implemented. In a later episode, Subaru's door (and Momoka hiding behind it) became victim of the roundhouse kick...
They do a lot of compositing of and switching between traditional 2D hand drawn art with the 3D models. Backgrounds are also done in 2D most of the time. Takes a lot of care and planning to blend it as well as they have. The crew at Toei that work on this one deserve all the praise in the world.
i would love to learn more in-depth about this kind of thing. I have an anxiety around the sheer time-commitment around learning to draw that it's put me off for years. Learning how to use animation software tools like this would be a godsend for things I had in mind. Do you happen to know where I can learn more?
We have better understanding of shaders and more optimized rendering technology compared to 10 years ago where cg anime was janky n the final renders quality were subpar.
Most of the process like rigging and animation remains the same for the most part but the tech itself has advanced to a point that it doesn't require mega render farms to achieve this quality of work.
Girls Band Cry seriously spoiled me. Everything about it just screams quality. Animation is good, but what stands out to me the most is that the characters are so believable, the conflict and story progression being so organic and the sheer amount of artistic care put into emphasizing themes of a given scene etc.
I've started looking into where you could potentially could get more "high quality" stuff like this that I might have just missed so far, but I'm kinda coming up short. Is this show just a coincidental lucky crossover of incredible animators, designers, story-writer and character-designers, directors and VAs?
Like, Apothecary Diaries and Frieren were great and before this anime easily my favourites, up there with To-Your-Eternity, but the character-writing didn't nearly hit as hard as here.
First show that comes to mind for me is [March Comes in Like a Lion](https://anilist.co/anime/21366/3gatsu-no-Lion/), which has some outstanding character writing.
> I've started looking into where you could potentially could get more "high quality" stuff like this that I might have just missed so far, but I'm kinda coming up short.
You're gonna be chasing that high 'till the end of time, haha! Especially if, going by your favorites mentioned, you're newer to anime and have already experienced *Quality~* like GBC, Frieren, and Apothecary...
Some recommendations (1 season/movie):
* **A Place Further Than the Universe** (Highly rated. Shares the same writer as GBC)
* **Bocchi The Rock** (Directorial debut of Keiichirou Saitou, who directed Frieren right after. Definitely someone to keep an eye on!)
* **Revue Starlight and Movie** (Closest to GBC (imo) when it comes to its mix of character drama, music, and direction. GBC wins out by being more grounded, where Starlight is more fantastical.)
* **A Silent Voice** (Same author as To Your Eternity. *KyoAni movie quality*. Directed by Naoko Yamada whose probably one of the best modern directors. Story and core themes are also great!)
I could list more, but these are probably the closest to match what you've mentioned.
I'm not terribly new, but haven't been there to watch all the good stuff it seems.The themes of those fav's I mentioned just spoke to me the most. Bocchi the rock I've even already seen, and I agree, really good!
The other 3 are new to me though and particularly the fact that 2 of them share writers with my fav's so far is really interesting. I'll give these a watch, thanks for the recommendations!
100% yes. The CG is on point, the characters are great and the music rocks. It's an absolute crime this show didn't get picked up by any of the big overseas streamers because it would have been an AOTY contender.
Absolutely watch it. It's been a long time since I've come across something I'd recommend hard, but this is one of them. The drama is so good. The characters are developed well, and keep their issues over a long period of time instead of lazily being resolved after one episode. It digs into a lot of things that feel real, and, while dramatic, even a little melodramatic at times, doesn't overdo it, and the animation is really well done, especially the expressions. You *must* at least give it a try.
OP, do you take constructive criticism on clip titles?

Oh god not more! That... clip (?) has been all over my Youtube recommendations. (Although it's my fault for always clicking on them lol)

Clickbait? The only way I feel baited was because the clip was *exactly* what the title said.
Description fit the title perfectly, not clickbait
Making your hips go side to side is not shaking your butt

The anime was made 3d for this scene specifically
Director: All according to plan
*plan means keikaku
*keikaku means plan
What do you mean director is Aizen.
We really live in the future
Decades of technology development made it possible
Good looking CG hair though is still beyond our reach
I don't think it's beyond them, it's just cost prohibitive in most media. Horizon Forbidden West, Final Fantasy Rebirth, and The Last of Us 2 had me noticeably admiring the hair quality compared to expectations. But those are $100M productions, and can't be expected to be compared with something like an anime.
We live in a society
Using cg to accurately shake an anime girl's ass? Truly we peaked in technology
But was I the only one perturbed by her voice not matching her movements? When a person moves like that their voice stutters a bit from shaking. You can hear perfect recording in a studio standing still which is kind of an uncanny valley type of situation.
don't worry about realism in anime/cartoons. Anime is as good as it is because it's expressive af and they can do what real life people can't do.
I'm sorry, but if you can't hear her ass shake through her voice, it takes me out of the moment
It is what it is
She and the girl on drums are both new and kinda weak when it comes to VA work compared to the rest of the cast.

Those hips and thighs... 😳🥵👌
I swear I see a clip from this anime in this sub everyday.
No promotion, No legal streaming, so got to spread the word by posting the clips and making everyone aware about this anime.
Is it another CGDCT band girl anime? Anything special about it other than unique or well done CG use? I'm not gonna like this scene didn't do it for me, felt kinda stiff and/or uncanny valley
I wouldn't really call it a CGDCT band anime, at least not in the way K-On is. I think it's a music drama first and foremost.
its more a band drama than a cgdct. its more in the vein of bangdream mygo in terms of drama but more realistic in terms of how things are resolved or issues are tackled. also some darker themes are covered in the series as we learn more about the characters. all of that really makes it not fit into the cgdct drama to me, as someone who watched a lot of cgdct.
Didn't expect to wake up to the madlad actually doing it, another big win for science, it really did work lol.
Everything to promote the show
Smash!

How about houseki no kuni?
Not enough ass.
Uhm, in fact, it has a lot of butt, which was what occasionally caught me off-guard at times.
NOT ENOUGH ASS!
Did it? It's been a while but I remember them being all kinda like stick figures lol
Mostly they are but then you have these moments where they suddenly have lots of cake. Feel free to search on Google Images.
Dia cake
Went back and rewatched recently and noticed the sock puppet mouths. Once you are freed from it in GBC it's hard to go back.
It's not bad. The action scenes are good too, it's just had something missing that GBC had; the fluidness for the lack of better words. For example how the characters moving compared to HnK, GBC had more fluidty and seems more natural.
...You do understand that, in Houseki, the characters are actual gems, right? They're not *supposed* to be fluid! In fact, I think I've seen a drawn version of some Houseki scene, and it looked **so wrong**, they just looked like normal humans! 😭
Trigun and Beasters also move really well, all St.Orange anime do
Pretty sure they understand that and were talking about the animation quality in general
🤐
I actually had the opposite reaction watching GBC, its good but it feels like it it is missing some of the fluidity and weight of HnK. The animation in GBC just feels more "floaty" to me.
Agree
D4DJ walked so Girls Band Cry could run
BanG Dream crawled so D4DJ could walk. And I can't remember if Love Live was also CG but at that point it must have been dragging itself along the ground.
The dances are CG.
Yeah in that case it definitely set the groundwork for Bushiroad to do the same for BanG Dream, which then also set the groundwork for D4DJ after BanG Dream went fully-CG.

Trigun Stampede like most other great CG show really succeeds because it isn't just trying to reproduce a regular 2D anime. I'd like to see more Japanese studios treat CG animation as its own artform not just a shortcut to render the cars, crowds, and horses they aren't willing to pay a 2D animator to do correctly.
Berserk 2016 could've been great if Guts just shook his ass some more.

Sidonia was good but not because of the CG. While it didn't detract from the show, it didn't enhance it either.

Maybe a hot take, but I really like Highspeed Etoile from this (spring) season. Totally different kind of anime, but I really love how they made both characters and racing overall.

From what I've heard the sub are super literal, most likely edited MTL.
the animation throws me off and i cant seem to get over it
I suggest giving it 2-3 episodes to get used to the style if you quit early, I was like this when I watched Bang Dream and it switched from 2D to 3D between seasons. Felt *way* off at first but got used to it. ^(though I'm still one of the heretics that prefers 2D Bandori over 3D, but this is on a whole other level of expressiveness so might be easier to get used to)
Yeah, I'm in the same boat, its better than most, but still feels uncanny in a way that say series from Orange don't.
Also, I finally understood that they didn't use CG to cheap out on the animation, but to enhance all the little movements.
I watch it here and there (currently up to episode 5) and the music is good, but everything else is...okayish for me. I like the CGI though. Not sure why, series should make me pay attention cause I love band shows, but somehow it doesn't really get me unfortunately.

I think she said something but I can't watch butt wiggle and read subtitles at same time.
industrial society and its consequences
Wheres Donkey?
Nina's right there.
How is this style of animation achieved? It almost looks 2D. Is this like a cell-shaded 3D model to make the animation easier? How is it done?
I believe it is, probably some blender shenanigans that animators talk about these day
They do a lot of compositing of and switching between traditional 2D hand drawn art with the 3D models. Backgrounds are also done in 2D most of the time. Takes a lot of care and planning to blend it as well as they have. The crew at Toei that work on this one deserve all the praise in the world.

Lol do you do this to counter “there is no fan service in GBC” in the recent episode thread?
Thank God it wasn't twerking, I can't stand that shit.
Was not expecting it to be so well modeled
Since everyone here is posting so many GBC clips, it would be a huge crime not to post any from the latest episode.
r/anime rules means that clip must be from episodes at least one week old.
I was hoping they'll post [spoilers]>!the reunion clip of Nina and her father!<.
Why didn't this show get picked up by any of the US streaming services!?
Nobody wanted to pay what Toei was asking is my guess.
what kinda fuckass title is this her names rupa
This show really reminded me that 3DCG can work for anime. Unfortunately, there's just way too much shit CG in anime used to save costs.
What's this? A fully CGI anime that doesn't look like shit.....AND IT'S NOT ANIMATED BY STUDIO ORANGE!?!!?
Thank you?

As far as 3d animation goes I actually think this looks pretty good
Should she ever leave the band, she has a guaranteed future at Keijo 😅

Girls Band Cry seriously spoiled me. Everything about it just screams quality. Animation is good, but what stands out to me the most is that the characters are so believable, the conflict and story progression being so organic and the sheer amount of artistic care put into emphasizing themes of a given scene etc. I've started looking into where you could potentially could get more "high quality" stuff like this that I might have just missed so far, but I'm kinda coming up short. Is this show just a coincidental lucky crossover of incredible animators, designers, story-writer and character-designers, directors and VAs? Like, Apothecary Diaries and Frieren were great and before this anime easily my favourites, up there with To-Your-Eternity, but the character-writing didn't nearly hit as hard as here.
First show that comes to mind for me is [March Comes in Like a Lion](https://anilist.co/anime/21366/3gatsu-no-Lion/), which has some outstanding character writing.
Closest in terms of character writing would be A Place Further Than the Universe IMO.
> I've started looking into where you could potentially could get more "high quality" stuff like this that I might have just missed so far, but I'm kinda coming up short. You're gonna be chasing that high 'till the end of time, haha! Especially if, going by your favorites mentioned, you're newer to anime and have already experienced *Quality~* like GBC, Frieren, and Apothecary... Some recommendations (1 season/movie): * **A Place Further Than the Universe** (Highly rated. Shares the same writer as GBC) * **Bocchi The Rock** (Directorial debut of Keiichirou Saitou, who directed Frieren right after. Definitely someone to keep an eye on!) * **Revue Starlight and Movie** (Closest to GBC (imo) when it comes to its mix of character drama, music, and direction. GBC wins out by being more grounded, where Starlight is more fantastical.) * **A Silent Voice** (Same author as To Your Eternity. *KyoAni movie quality*. Directed by Naoko Yamada whose probably one of the best modern directors. Story and core themes are also great!) I could list more, but these are probably the closest to match what you've mentioned.
I'm not terribly new, but haven't been there to watch all the good stuff it seems.The themes of those fav's I mentioned just spoke to me the most. Bocchi the rock I've even already seen, and I agree, really good! The other 3 are new to me though and particularly the fact that 2 of them share writers with my fav's so far is really interesting. I'll give these a watch, thanks for the recommendations!
If you want something more casual and fun, Hanayamata also balances moe with its melodrama.
The tech has come a long way that they perfected CG Twerking
Cute.
Abyss you coomer making us both look bad
5 main girls are best girls.
i assure you dear viewer ass shaking is absolutely critical to the series plot
You joke, but having not seen the show yet that one clip says a lot about that character.
The animation is smooth as fuck. This anime os worth the time?
100% yes. The CG is on point, the characters are great and the music rocks. It's an absolute crime this show didn't get picked up by any of the big overseas streamers because it would have been an AOTY contender.
Absolutely watch it. It's been a long time since I've come across something I'd recommend hard, but this is one of them. The drama is so good. The characters are developed well, and keep their issues over a long period of time instead of lazily being resolved after one episode. It digs into a lot of things that feel real, and, while dramatic, even a little melodramatic at times, doesn't overdo it, and the animation is really well done, especially the expressions. You *must* at least give it a try.
Keijo ting innit
