Looks like no one is officially releasing this yet.

Episode 1

Okay, this was actually a surprisingly good first episode. I had low hopes because of the CGI and that this is yet another music anime around young women. But I actually think the CGI was actually really good in how it was able to subtly show movement, along with how it took liberty using stuff to heighten things like Nina's dark emotional clouds.

At the least, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some sort of meme come from at least this episode, considering the times it had cute anime girls spoiler[flipping the bird]. It is actually a level of edginess that gets my attention, and actually made me burst out laughing the second time. Not really guaranteed, based on the safe moe aesthetic otherwise, but I kind of hope that it will bring similar edge into future episodes.

I love the pigeon rocking out in the cold opening.

Now add music plug jacks to refrigerators and ovens for weird camera views.

Calling the parrot and putting on my eye patch and peg leg - will be watching this to completion after the three episode trial.
