Also just watched the 1st 3 eps of Rock Is A Lady’s Modesty. Similar to the manga, I can’t really get into it. I find the toxic dynamic between the 2 MCs not fun at all. Making playing together a competition is also weird, because that’s just not at all a good idea if you want to play in a band.

Also, for an anime that tries to get the playing look right (good job on the drums, less so for guitar, which makes sense because smaller movements are hard with mocap), they really dropped the ball on how loud a drumkit is. No way you can play along to a song on a phone the way she was or talk over it in a soft voice. You’d be definitely be hearing that thing outside of the building (unless they installed soundproofed glass) or at least in the hallway (no way that door has proper soundproofing).

I like the premise (guitar playing girl thrust into high society has to deal with her passion not being accepted), but not the execution.
