The thrilling musical anime Paradox Live THE ANIMATION Episode 2 will be released in the upcoming days. The anime is pretty unconventional in itself, focusing on four bands that participate in a mysterious competition called Paradox Life. The first episode was filled with passionate band members and their flashy performances.
The anime has a cyberpunk aesthetic, which is reflected even in the clothes and the character’s overall getup. The series is refreshing since the last popular music-related anime was probably Bocchi the Rock. The fans of this particular genre are especially on cloud nine, considering that this anime will deliver some heavy music, guitars, and bands that will compete against each other.
Paradox Live THE ANIMATION is a media mix project that will feature songs by talented artists. We were all impressed by the first episode of the series when the biggest plot point about the “Phantom Metal” was revealed. It has somewhat of a sci-fi vibe to it, and the story is also set in the future.
Some can interpret the meaning of what is shown as the dark side of the music industry and how artists suffer from depression and other mental health disorders in private. The show also provides some fair tension with the battle that takes place between four rather successful bands and the desire to win the ultimate prize.
Since it is a story where people are competing against each other, it would be appropriate to show how every character feels since performance heavily depends on someone’s mental and physical status. In this article, we will be talking about the release date of Paradox Live THE ANIMATION Episode 2, recap the previous episode, and tell our readers where they can watch the anime.
Paradox Live THE ANIMATION: Episode 1 Recap
In the previous chapter of Paradox Live THE ANIMATION, the foundation for the story is shown to the viewers. We see that in the future, a new trend in the Hip Hop culture will begin where the artists will use a chemical substance to alleviate their performance.
The rappers will use the chemical to create an illusion about their own feelings using an accessory that contains “Phantometal” with their own genetic material. However, we also see that this particular thing has some severe side effects that are enough to cause breakdowns and traumatic illusions to the artist once the show is over.
The third band is Cosmez, which has two people rapping about their outlook on life, which is pretty different for both of them. The last group is Akan Yatsura, which is made up of three ex-gang members rapping about about their dark past.
The four of them are not very sure about participating in Paradox Live since they really all thought it was a cheap prank. However, they decide to go ahead with it anyway, and that sets the stage for the story to actually begin. The main factor that is motivating the bands is the ten billion yen prize.
Shockingly, the winner will also have the opportunity to confront the elusive rapper BURAIKAN, who vanished with the Paradox Club overnight. This is enough to get them going, and the band members look more motivated than ever.
