Wishing
Made famous in the Monster Strike anime special Mon-Soni! D'Artagnan no Idol Sengen, the Haitoku Pistols debuted their latest single, a Christmas-themed song titled Wishing on December 1st. A ballad backed by Lucy's powerful vocals, Wishing will be featured as the main theme for the XFLAG original anime Itazura Majo to Nemuranai Machi. This official music video demo is entirely in CG as opposed to the main ONA which was 2D animated. The music video starts with all three band members speaking to the viewer before jumping into the demo and then finishing out with the band members speaking again.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas as a genre of music. You know, lots of bell noises, lyrics about being nice to each other or some vague "feeling" of the "holidays" or sometimes it's just about snow. Call me a Grinch or whatever you need to tell yourself to ignore my legitimate criticisms, but if it's something you're only listening to because it's December and you want to feel like your doing something "Christmasy" then it probably isn't very good music. Okay, the song wasn't that bad. I just went and listened to it again here in July when I'm writing this so it'd befresh in my mind. It's not going in my anime music folder, but it was inoffensive. The music video was pretty generic, reusing 3d models they already had lying around from other Monster Strike animations I'm sure. It looks nice, and is fitting for the theme but it just doesn't feel like it has a lot of substance. If you saw the length of the video and were expecting a full song, you'll be disappointing or perhaps pleased to realize that about half the runtime is taken up by an intro and outro calling back to that other special where the Haitoku Pistols bullied Lucifer into being a permanent member, tying the music video itself into the lore they've built and I guess making it canon in universe. It feels strange to try and analyze the lore of a Christmas song music video, but here we are. Overall it didn't add anything to my viewing experience of the Monster Strike franchise as a whole, and wasn't even that memorable of a song. 6/10
