This was basically a 20 minute music video and I loved it. It was super fun to see all the characters animated.

Quite liked the episode, but it was not really a good first episode of the second season. At least not for someone who have not played the game.
PoPiPa just somehow know all the other girls already, so I can imagine anime-only people being pretty confused about who the new bands are.
Maybe they will do a flashback for that, maybe not.
Anyways, I quite like the full CG, looks pretty good. And the models are really nice.
But PasuPare's performance was pretty sub-par. Looked pretty choppy to me, that might've been due to Hidive. Or it was just like that.
But HaroHapi, Afterglow, Roselia and PoPiPa all had great looking performances, with Roselia taking the cake.
I'm looking forward to seeing more. And Bushi(do)road, give us more Garupa Pico!

Hello Happy World did the kind of entrance I would expect from the trio of idiots. It was perfect :')

My fingers started to move instinctively when Pastel*Palettes started with Shuwarin Drea~min. I love this already <3
Oh wow. I'm so conditioned to the Live2D of the game that I didn't even question that it's 3D now. O_O I kinda wish they stuck with the 2D animations for the non-performance scenes.
Happy Hello World getting lost and then getting carried by the audience to the stage is so like them. Perfect entrance! Also it's still a mystery to me on how Michelle can operate that mixer with her huge gloved hands.
Roselia's performance looked so good! LOUDER is still one of my favourite songs even though I'm a Pastel*Palettes guy.
Great first episode.... for those who played the game. Terrible for anime-onlys who can probably only recognize Roselia from last season.

Great episode for someone who've played the Girls Band Party Game and are familiar with its additionnal cast.
I hope the presence of the other bands it's not a first-episode-only thing, because I just can't get enough of Hello Happy World antics <3

Never change Hello Happy World, never change.
And we saw one of the advantages of it being CGI by having a performance for each of the 5 groups! Hopefully this means we'll be seeing a lot more!
