Chapter 18:
Am I losing Interest in Writing?
This is my review for an anime called Rock Is a Lady's Modesty.
"
When I saw the trailer for this anime, I knew I was in for a treat. And boy, let me tell you, they cook well, I am full from their meal. This is definitely my pick for anime of the season; if there's one, it's just that good.
How did I find this?
I stumbled upon it while scrolling through Twitter/X. I researched it by myself to see where I could watch it, and surprise-surprise, Anione Asia provides it for free.
Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?)
Have you seen the trailer? Mate, my God, the girls' designs are so stylish and stunning. How can you skip it? You can't.
Platform
I have mentioned Anione Asia. It is also on Bahamut Anime Crazy for Taiwan to watch, and HiDive. Kind of surprised that Netflix doesn't have this on their platform.
The review;
Plot/Story
The premise is thus! A ladylike girl who goes to a prestigious school and has to keep up her daily routine as a lady. No time to spare, no fooling around to do. All she has to do to become the elite among the elite is... well, act as a lady.
But what's the fun in that? Lilisa wasn't born in a wealthy family; she was a commoner whose mother remarried to a rich man. She has the blood of a rebellious girl; she wants to rock out. That's why in this series, she secretly rocks out with her fellow ladylike friends.
Now, I'll be honest, at first I was kind of disgusted at the premise. Why? I'm an Indonesian commoner, and of course, I feel like the premise just makes fun of me. But boy, I'm glad I checked this anime out because the story was so good, I went ahead and read the manga. It is one of those hidden gems that you should not miss out on.
Character
Man, I don't even know where I should start.
Lilisa? Otoha? Isemi? Shiraya?
Man, they are all so well-made characters. It is hard to just talk about one of them; all of them are so cool. Even their character arc were some of the most interesting stories among other anime in this season.
I hope they make 2nd season. I'm well aware that the manga doesn't have enough source to make a 2nd season yet, but one can hope, right?
OST/SFX
Both OP and ED are just magnificent. This one takes the win for the best OP and ED, no doubt in my mind.
Other than that, I give them 2 thumbs up for the OST/SFX for the actual anime itself. They are all well done.
Animation
You know what's crazy? I have watched an anime by this studio in the past, and no wonder their 3d actually good. Have you seen an anime called Brave Beats? The one that... I don't know the normal term for this. It's a... AP (Age Progression) music anime...
Yeah...
Basically, a kid has this chibi monster-looking thing, and they fuse. That fuse transforms the kid into an adult to battle the enemy, bear with me, by dancing.
And those dance sequences are animated with 3D, and I have to be honest here, they look amazing. The same goes for this anime. It is so gorgeous to watch.
Kudos to Bandai Namco Pictures. You outdone yourself and impressed me, once again.
VA
I'll be glazing this anime even more, dude. The girls' voice acting is so amazing, dude. Especially Isemi. Man, this girl just... You know, capture me. She is probably my favorite, and also the cafe owner, Mariko. I am in love. I want them to do ASMR.
The conclusion;
The good
I'm glad I checked this anime out, it's so much fun to watch and read.
The bad
I might want to start finding more of these anime/manga, and making other anime/manga on my readlist has to be put on hold again. Dang it, man. 😂
Gratitude
As always, thanks for providing us Asians to watch this anime for free, Anione Asia. You are the goat. Love you so much.
Overall, 8.7/10
Not the worst, not the best. But amazing nonetheless.
