The Performances in Girls Band Cry are All Style, No Substance

As of writing this, I am only a few hours past of having finished the anime Girls Band Cry by Toei Animation. It took the timeline on my social media by storm out of nowhere, despite not being available anywhere on English streaming services – the latter which remains a mystery as official accounts promoted it in English ahead of release. Packed with a punk rebellious energy wearing its emotions on its sleeve, it was hard not to be mesmerized. But for all the praise I wish to shower the series with, the performances in Girls Band Cry are incredibly weak and flat.
