Users appreciate the high energy and polished visuals of the performances, with many expressing a desire for more content in this format. While some technical issues were noted during initial viewings, the overall consensus is that the music and animations are enjoyable, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre.
“The first song puts you in the middle of a full-on music video with the idols performing to you and the crowd!”
“If you love J-pop and anime music videos, then this is for you.”
“It's great having music videos like this in VR, and I would love to see more artists/groups utilizing the medium.”
“Another caveat with this one, on first time viewing after loading the song briefly drops out to steam and stutters very slightly at the point Mikasa gets off her chair the first time and there's a slight frame drop when the petals are rushing towards you through the corridors on Oculus - any subsequent views are flawless just the first view after loading which is... weird.”
“Their first song and its visuals are a lot weaker compared to their later songs.”
“Also, it's just a music video.”

The graphics across the reviewed content are characterized by a cartoony style, with some entries featuring vibrant and surreal visuals that enhance the overall experience. While earlier works like "astral piece" show weaker visuals compared to later releases, the combination of music and visuals in the live concert recording offers a solid introduction, albeit lacking the distinctiveness of the individual music videos.
“1) Kimamani Summer Vacation - good high energy song with great visuals.”
“2) KissxKissxKiss - a bit down-beat compared to their other stuff but still a great song and very surreal visuals.”
“4) Astral Piece - great song and visuals but this one's a solo featuring only Niina (Shikiri #1!, lol).”
“The graphics are cartoony.”
“Their first song and its visuals are a lot weaker compared to their later songs.”
“It does lack all of the unique visuals of the music videos.”
