Girls Band Cry - Tumblr Posts
I was watching Girls Band Cry yesterday with my wife and that anime is so much fun. Like the direction is incredible in so many ways, and don't let me talk about the 3D because its one of the best of all time LIKE, GO WATCH IT NOW PLS!!!
Why does all the yuri bait this season have way better production than the actual yuri
I love this fucking emotional hedgehog so much she has zero chill lmao
The funniest part about this was that depending on your subs, you either got *indistinguishable gremlin noises* or what basically amounted to the LTG speech
GOOBERS
the thing about art is that you can draw literally anything
THE SUBANINA IS FUCKING REAL?????
posted these elsewhere but audio drama dump incoming
🥁: oh in that case, do you want to sit with me Nina?
🎤: ah? it's fine with me
🥁: momokas making a really annoyed face so I think it'd be better if we go together instead
with yorukura and now this i feel like all the original anime are punching me in the gut with all the confessions. like. this cannot be real. this has to be some dream i'll wake up from in just a moment. surely
SHUUMATSU TRAIN COME ON PLEASE

MOMOKA used CAPTIVATE!
It's not very effective...
NINA used CAPTIVATE!
It's super effective!
SO IT TURNS OUT GIRLS BAND CRY HAS AN AIRPORT SCENE! (it's in an MV that's not part of the actual series, but still)
In the MV for Nameless Name, the opening shot is a nighttime takeoff from inside a plane. Now, you may think, "it's just a bunch of lights in the dark of night. That could be anywhere in the world!"
Nope. In less than thirty seconds I managed to find out that the plane is very specifically departing runway 05 at Tokyo Haneda (HND/RJTT), and the path the camera takes is this:
Here's a sample comparison shot I took in Prepar3D Flight Simulator, showing the Delta 4 taxiway intersection that takes planes onto a bridge across the ocean connecting to the rest of the airport:

Prepar3D
Now the crazy thing is, at the end of this shot, as the plane is departing, you can make out a set of runway lights on the right (red rectangle). The weird angle is how I was able to deduce the runway the camera/plane is departing from.
This runway is runway 16L/34R, and on January 2nd this year, was the site of a deadly collision between Japan Airlines flight 516 and a Coast Guard aircraft.
You can even point out the point at which the collision happened, and the final resting place of flight 516 as it slowed to a stop!
Girls Band Cry had this shinkansen departure board for a total of 1 second and I couldn't resist checking it so
Nozomi 59: Mostly accurate. Nozomi 57 departs at 1812, Nozomi 59 usually departs much later around 1851.
Nozomi 83: Mostly accurate. The 1833 timeslot is usually used for a Hikari service.
Kodoma 753: 100% accurate.
Hikari 519: Partially accurate. Hikari 519 terminates at Okayama not Shin-Osaka and departs much earlier. The 1754 slot does terminate at Shin-Osaka.
Nozomi 85: Departs much later. A Kodoma service occupies the 1827 slot.
Nozomi 87: Departs exactly 1 hour later. the 1839 slot is used for a Shin-Osaka bound Nozomi service.
Note 1: Nozomi 85 and Nozomi 87 do not appear on the November 2022 timetable and only appear on the May 2023 timetable onwards. This may suggest that this photo would have been taken in December 2022 at the earliest. Note 2: Data from archived timetables 2111, 2211, 2304, 2311 and 2403.
No, Girls Band Cry is the one about the brunette normie girl pursuing the beautiful blond singer girl. The one about the beautiful blond singer girl pursuing the normie brunette girl is Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night.
love how nina is just. allowed to be angry. allowed to be brash. deservingly so. characters in her loner archetype go for the more quiet and withdrawn route which may not always be true. her anxiety isn't just uwu I'm so shy or people so fucking scary or gross I might explode if I have to do one more social interaction its so much more than that. Her peers pushed her to almost death. The adults who are supposed to be there in her life are unhelpful. shes just a kid. a kid with a lot of energy and a lot to scream at the world that wronged her. she just wants to be happy. GOD LET HER BE-
The other 1,494 of us are giggling on the gbc discord
How come there are only like six of us perpetually giggling in the gbc tag? Like yeah you get the burst of activity during the sub premiere but after that it's just us. Is nobody else normal? Are they stupid?
I CANNOT EMPHASISE HOW MUCH I LOVE NINA'S FIT, THE CLOAK, THE BLUE HAIR GRADIENT, THE GLOW-UP IS INSANE. GIRL IS FUCKING KILLING IT I'M SO PROUD OF HER
They really cooked with this one oh my lord
momoka is obsessed with nina are you fr
so apparently the official gbc playlist on spotify has messages from all of the girls and im obsessed 😭 (also momoka stop talking about nina challenge)
