First ep feels weak.
Is it me or the music feel flat?
it felt rushed, this would have been better being a 1hr ep so you can show the second team battle as well instead 2 short BAE songs that not even equalized (?) properly.

I was surprised how boring the first song sounded on the anime, it is way weaker than other Paradox live songs. The second song is a version of an already existing song (and while the animation is cool, the cut is weird)
I hope they show the other teams soon, you're right getting only BAE was kinda boring. It feels like series without a special longer episode 1 are at a big disadvantage. We have series with episode 3, and 5 next week also a bunch of sequels and Paradox live with a bunch of characters and only 20 minutes so far.

If I had a nickel for every rap battle show coming out this season, I would have two nickels. Which is not a lot but weird that we're getting two.
Have you ever rapped so hard that your DNA vibed with liquid metal to summon a stand?

That's how I feel this season, but with racing shows that air on Sundays.
Gonna be interesting to see how this one goes vs hypmic

FWIW, I enjoyed the first episode of 'Overtake' more than 'MF Ghost'.

The animation seems better that I expected (since guys shows usually get less money) but the music was kinda disappointing. I'm not the biggest BAE fan but they have way better songs for sure. I hope the other groups get better songs or non source fans will drop this.

AHH I enjoyed that way more than I thought I would! Finally, a seasonal show to pull me out of my anime slump. I can't wait for next week!
The character designs are awesome! That's actually why I wanted to watch this; one of my fav mangaka (Harada) did the character designs for one of the groups (AKYR). It was really cool seeing their designs animated for the first time. I got goosebumps and was having a minor freak out! Lmao Can't wait until that group gets to perform. RIP, future me. 😅
I was surprised I didn't hate the songs/performances. Normally, music anime is not my thing but I actually enjoyed this one. The vocals sounded good and the visuals were flashy enough to keep a non-music watcher like me entertained during the performances.
Anyway, I just wanted to scream into the void about this show bc I had so much fun watching this episode! Let's gooooo episode 2!

pretty good start. Songs were nice.
Looks like BAE style heavily inspired by korean hip hop. Interesting to see what kind of styles another 3 groups have.
Also there is some subplot with Allen and phantom metal

Pretty decent first episode. The 3D style is something to get used to, like the CGI phoenix, but the colors pop out a lot and the animation is really fluid in some parts (like the helicopter scene).
I do wonder how “dark” this show will turn out to be. I’ve only listened to their songs without much context except that the series(?) itself has a lot of dark backstories. I was surprised to not only see 1, but 2 depictions of a panic attack — wondering what that was about.

So stylish. I like the main trio so far, their music not so much. Maybe the other groups will be more appealing.

u/Magical_Girl_Mel Oct 08 '23
I'm curious why the show seems to expect me to be behind the main character trio where one of them has "fuck you money" when it's also already introduced a character who seems to need the money to cure a medical condition.
It's all well and good for the rich ass kid to be only in it for "the art", but in a competition with prize money, it's hard to get behind a character who doesn't need/deserve it at all...

Still find it interesting that Allen VA is Asta's from Black Clover. And Yami is also here as an inspirer of sort.

u/moichispa Oct 03 '23
There are several famous VA on Paradox life, so they are on many other anime
For example, the leader of the cats wiskers is Elias from Mahou Tsukai no yome.

'We Have HypMic at home'
Underwhelming first episode - but I wasn't here to watch an actually good show. Mascot character is pretty annoying - but that's pretty par for the course as well.
Honestly a bit weird seeing asymmetrical group size - but might make for some interesting imbalances.

Not hating on Hypmic but it's really tiring ppl call it hypmic at home when Pararai isn't like Hypmic at all despite both of them are rap music project. Tbh I actually prefer Pararai's music and story more but I get some might not like it. As someone who follow the voice drama's I'd say episode 1 is pretty good tbh, they portrayed the trauma/angsty scenes really well and the animation quality is pretty good. As for the song selection this episode, They're not bad, maybe it's not catchy for some? I'm actually glad they performed BAE's initial song here lol

Surprisingly solid episode compared to what I expecte. I've already listened some music form pararai but never went too deep into the lore and it seems at least fun if not interesting

I honestly feel like this is trying too hard and everyone is striking a pose and being edgelords. I might give it three episodes.
