bakuon was fucking shit, literally cute girls doing cute things ON MOTORCYCLES, don't compare that generic shit to the masterpiece that was Rolling Girls

>>144504617
First two episodes were 11/10 god tier, the rest of the series was a 7-8.5. The girls were just too often relegated to being by-standers without more care being taken to weave their cursory involvement in various events into their character development until the later part of the show.

The OST was great, the designs for characters and post-Japanpocalypse Japan were amazing, the first Macha Green vs Shiggy battle is one of the most beautiful fights ever. The list fucking goes on, but a few flaws stop it from reaching the potential it had.

Definitively AOTY

>>144505945
THIS

It was clear they blew a fuckload of budget on the first two episodes, but the rest of the show was still good despite everything. The artstyle was 10/10

>>144506090
The series starts with a really strong introduction arc, but then drops two of the Best characters to focus on a wacky road trip where the main characters meet a bunch of different people and have to react to a variety of different problems despite being incapable of fighting. The series drops having a well founded story in favor of being a vague coming of age tale where the main characters don't really learn much, reflect on themselves, or change until the last arc.

I'd consider giving it AOTY, but holy shit last year had Kekkai Sensen, Shimoneta, and OPM. Might as well just call the competition a wash for last year, too many options. The Rolling Girls is absolutely worth watching though. You aren't a man if you don't cry during the goodbye.

It really needed a better writer

Wit Studio should have gotten someone like Reiko Yoshida or someone who KNOWS how to handle cute girls in extravagant settings

???

on a side note

has anyone read the novels

Rolling Girls had GOAT design and style, but shitty animation and pacing.

>>144520356
what we need is a recut of the show where we cut out some of the fluff and reorganize it to be tighter.

Honestly the show needed more episodes. It was convoluted and i feel like it had a lot of unexplored plotential, but fuck if it doesn't win me over just for style points. You can tell that the team behind it was having a lot of fun, and it was a passion project. The designs are great, the setting (a post-apocalyptic world where society divided in cliques and everything is colourful as fuck) is very interesting and it had cute girls singing japanese punk rock.

It was definetly my AOTY.

>>144520411
Strangely enough i think the idea of Rolling Girls would have worked really well as a movie.

>>144506990
I agree with you, I might re-watch it soon with the other shows you mentioned.

What director and screenwriter should Wit Studio have hired for this?

Anyone who hates on any of this has no soul

Episode 8 was amazing. Though the crowd cheering animation is awkward as fuck.

Also:
Ai = Shigyo > Chiaya = Maccha >>> everyone else

I wish they would release the English-dubbed version of Stones as a single or something. Both versions were great and I have the Japanese version already, but I'd like to have that English version too.

>>144525667
I will forever love Rolling Girls because without it i'd never know how much i love girls singing japanese punk rock with Shamien solos
