Holy shit, Grea looked goregous in her white dress. It suits her perfectly imo and bought out a lot of charm from her character. She looks like a princess while Anne takes on the role of a prince at this school festival.

With a friend like Anne by her side, it really bought out her confidence imo.

Eh, wasn't a big fan of the dress, looked too pink for me, wonder how Grea would look in a wedding dress, that would be the ultimate fanservice.

Nice singing in this episode.

Hanna's song was the best part of the episode. Its always nice to hear Nana Mizuki sing.

So in this episode the girls have to present a play ... good, this was a very good episode.
Anne as the prince looks very cute, but Grea as the princess was beautiful, Mira sensei did a spectacular job, she has a good eye and Anne looked self-absorbed looking at the beauty of Grea.
The school festival looked great, besides the food looked exquisite, why does the food in anime have to look so appetizing?
Grea feels very nervous and Anne is desperate to hear that she does not feel well, but in the end she calms her friend saying that it is nothing serious.
Anne is so cute, she helped Grea to lose her nerves for the play and their rehearsal was very beautiful.
Hanna has a lovely voice and I really liked her song.
It's a pity that we couldn´t see the play, but I'm sure Grea and Anne would look spectacular and they give us a beautiful moment.

It was a very unexpected song (though I did not pay enough attention to find out which language it was) from Hannah, bringing a relaxing atmosphere.

I'm curious to see how Grea & Anne will be on scene !

All i have to say is amazing show, easily a 9/10 so far for me and currently annoyingly underrated on MAL with a 6.55 that should have at least been a 7.55 !!

Alright, I did not know it was German. Even though I really thought she used some English words (maybe it was mix between different languages ?)

i’m loving this show so far, but the ost is seriously lacking. there’s times where music will play and i’d rather it just be silent. the piano bits in that one earlier episode were really good, though

I feel the same way! I think some people went into the show expecting something different, maybe something more dramatic and plot-focused? Manaria Friends, to me, seems more like an relaxing slice-of-life with some serious yuri overtones. I'm loving it so much, I think it's one of the most underrated shows this season.

Hanna's performance was amazing and liked how Owen was still struggling with his lines before the play.

Even Owen was told to participate xD

Honestly, the dress didn't look that elegant to me, it needed more color variation but since it was Grea who was wearing it, it didn't look that bad either.

Hanna's song was truly beautiful but I would have enjoyed it way more if the animation of her character didn't look that... weird.

Average episode overall...

Hmm.. the song was nice (german wannabe) but her mouth was animated so badly. It took way too much time, I would rather if it was dedicated to Grea and the princess instead.

Not much really happened in this episode.

I don't know if the maerican or the japanese dub decided that it was a good idea to sing in german, but it wasn't. They should've just gotten rid of the subtitles and claim it was a fantasy-language, because that's how much a native speaker understood of it...

That song the girl sings, and her movements and facial expression while she does, is possibly the most beautiful singing I have ever seen in any anime. As soon as it was over I backed up and watched it again. And the second time make my eyes tear up. This is a work of art.
