Sasha and Ariel Experience ... Rock is a Lady's Modesty!

Sasha: Woohoo! So we're here to blog about something besides Heroscape, right?
Ariel: Yes ... only, wait, is there something wrong with blogging about Heroscape?
Sasha: No, but we've only blogged here three times this year, and two of them were about Heroscape, so I just wanted to let everybody know this isn't more of that.
Ariel: But that's what the title's for.
Sasha: Sure, but I didn't think you'd looked at the title since you were in the other room when I typed it.
Ariel: Well I didn't look at it, but I still know it's what everybody sees when they get to the post for the first time, so obviously we don't have to tell them here in the post.
Sasha: I guess you're right. I was basically just trying to do an intro.
Ariel: But your intro thing was talking about something we're not doing, so how is that introing it? Isn't that more like an untro than an intro?
Sasha: I can't argue with that. So anyway --
Ariel: Holy moley, though. We've only blogged here three times this year? That's ... (hang on and let me do the math) ... less than once a month!
Sasha: You had to take that long to figure out it was less than one a month?
Ariel: Sure, because I suck at math. Just like apparently we suck at blogging!
Sasha: I think you're being too hard on yourself. And on us!
Ariel: Actually, no, I'm just being modest. Because we're ladies, and ladies are supposed to be modest. Just like in the post title! See how I got us back on track?
Sasha: Huh. That was uncharacteristically on-topic for you.
Ariel: Gosh, Sash! You're just too kind!
Sasha: I mean, it was sort of a backhanded compliment.
Ariel: I got that, but I'm being modest, remember?
Sasha: I thought that was just to get us back on topic.
Ariel: I'm in the groove.
Sasha: Okay ... good job, I guess?
Ariel: Stop, you're embarrassing me!
Sasha: Let's just talk about the show.
Ariel: You start. I'm sure you have something much better to say than me.
Sasha: Probably not, but I guess I could start by saying we found out about this anime because the opening credits song is by Band-Maid!
Ariel: Eek! Spoilers! They don't show the opening credits in the first episode, and now you've ruined the surprise for everybody. We have to tell them to put their spoiler blankets on.
Sasha: If you say so. It's not like it ruined it for us, knowing ahead of time that there would be a Band-Maid song in it.
Ariel: You're still spoiling! Now everybody knows the song is in the first episode even if it's not part of the opening credits that there aren't any of. Oh gosh. And I've gone and spoiled the fact that there's no opening credits in the first episode!
Sasha: Pretty much a ton of anime are that way though, aren't they? Also, I didn't say we knew ahead of time there would be a Band-Maid song in the first episode just that there would be a Band-Maid song in "it." Which I meant to mean the anime, not the first episode. And I said what I said after you already told them to put their spoiler blankets on.
Ariel: I did not! I told you we needed to tell them. There's still the whole actual telling them part we didn't do.
Sasha: Fine, watch. People, put your spoiler blankets on if you don't want anything spoiled about "Rock is a Lady's Modesty," not even something totally not a big deal like there's a great song for the opening credits.
Ariel: Now you spoiled that it's a great song!
Sasha: No I didn't. It's a Band-Maid song. Of course it's a great song.
Ariel: Oh. Yeah, that's true, I guess.
Sasha: Then can we talk about the show now?
Ariel: Sure. I totally loved the main character!
Sasha: Which one?
Ariel: Which one? The main one. You know, Amazing-huge-ongo Pigtails Girl.
Sasha: She did have some amazing pigtails.
Ariel: And they were huge-ongo.
Sasha: For sure. But the other girl seemed to me like she's going to be a pretty main character too.
Ariel: You mean Flower-petal Druminatrix? She was barely in like a quarter of how much Pigtails Girl was in the first episode.
Sasha: Sure, but it was totally setting them up to both be main characters, I thought. Druminatrix is just the mysterious one in the first ep. She was in a lot more of the second one, remember.
Ariel: That's true. But she doesn't have huge-ongo pigtails, just basic normal straight hair.
Sasha: I dunno if it's exactly basic or normal, considering it's purple.
Ariel: I feel like it's pretty normal in anime for people to have hair colors you don't really see on people in the real world except if they've dyed it.
Sasha: Can't argue with that. But I still thought Druminatrix was an awesome main character. I mean, all the girls at the prep school were swooning over Pigtails Girl, but they swooned even harder over Druminatrix, and she also has that power to stop time with a slow-motion blizzard of flower petals.
Ariel: That wasn't real, though! It was just, like, uh ... symbolism?
Sasha: Ooh! Cymbal-ism!
Ariel: I think you just like her because she's a drummer.
Sasha: Well then I think you just like Pigtails Girl because she's a guitarist and she's short and blond like you are.
Ariel: What! You're way shorter than I am.
Sasha: I never said I wasn't. But that doesn't keep you from being short.
Ariel: Uh-oh.
Sasha: What?
Ariel: Pigtails Girl is short and blond like me, and I like to air-guitar and she guitar-guitars, and Druminatrix is a drummer and you're an air-drummer, and the two of them are always arguing all the time ... I think I'm starting to see why we like this show.
Sasha: Well ... I mean, we're not all super-polite on top and then total maniacs underneath like they are.
Ariel: I'm pretty polite! And I'd be even more polite if I was going to a ritz-tastic prep school like them. And you're kind of a maniac when you're air-drumming and sometimes on your blog, or when we're playing rpgs.
Sasha: Maybe I'm starting to see some similarities. Neither of us has an Evil Pink-Hair Step-sister, though.
Ariel: I have a pink wig.
Sasha: That doesn't seem all that close to a step-sister to me.
Ariel: Whatever. It's still a super good show.
Sasha: I totally agree. And the way they give you those little flashbacks here and there to hint at why Pigtails Girl is so obsessed with succeeding at this school is cool.
Ariel: Oh, just like there are all those flashbacks in Frieren.
Sasha: I'm digging on some flashbacks in anime lately. Whoa, though. Speaking of flashbacks, I'm flashing back to watching Frieren and thinking how awesome it was and how we should blog about it, but we never did.
Ariel: There's so much of Frieren, though! It makes me tired just to think about blogging about all of it.
Sasha: We wouldn't have to blog about all of it. I mean, we're blogging about Rock is a Lady's Modesty and we've barely said anything about what actually happened in the two episodes.
Ariel: That just makes me think we suck at blogging again, only not in a pretending-to-be-modest way.
Sasha: Don't mope! We're awesome-sauce bloggers. Let's wrap this up and we can come back and read it tomorrow and you'll see.
Ariel: Okay, deal.
Sasha and Ariel: Goodnight, everybody!
