Hmm, this episode had quite a different mood than what I had expected...

I mean , idols? On the other hand, that new girl seems like the type that gets nervous really easily. I feel conflicted about her character so far.

Pretty good episode with the time loop and everything but the story progression is kind of slow, hopefully we get more answers in the future episodes.

Also that Yua girl totally not brought up memories of Niko chan from Love Live!

Hmm so they ended up getting trapped in a memory fragment then. One that's centred on that particular moment in time. It was nice seeing Yuki show some assertion here by drawing upon her feelings in order to help Yua take that last step. While the past may have been painful to Yuki converting that pain to positive actions sure is allowing her to slowly change. Yuki's theory on what the Tama Shi was though was interesting. The physical representation of someone's unfinished will and dreams huh. Even though they couldn't change the past and save them at least they were able to save Yua from her regret. Looks like the agency's elite have finally caught up to them. But that last revelation though was quite the strong one. To think that Yuki's bro was not just alive but also an enemy as well.

Ummmm, they try to mix idol and dystopian sci-fi together but the result is not so much. And the next episode preview I see male idol will appear too?

So tama-shi are basically regrets and unfulfilled desires, I kinda had the suspicion that it would be the case but at least we got some official confirmation.

Yuki's brother is an ass and this whole summoning dead people thing needs to explained more.

Wonder what happened to Kouta's body?

Anyways, this idol episode didn't impress me at all but at least we got a clue that the tama-shi, from Yuki's perspective are unfinished wills of people who were caught in lost. It's a bit of a clue in understanding that "Lost" phenomenon, although I think there should be a more accurate explanation later on.

Souma is interesting so far, but its a cliché plot line though.

That's my answer too.

More questions about the Tama-Shi...and their course of actions.

Seems like the main poster character showed up. Looks like Souma and Yuki are family in a past-life. And things are getting more spooky from here on out.

This is series is trash...but it's more intriguing to keep watching.

This anime is pretty conflicting. Episode's fast paced while at the same time the story progresses so slowly too. The idol storyline felt kinda melodramatic but at least it sheds some little bit of light as to the nature of this whole phenomena.

Still not a whole lot on the grander scheme of things though.

This episode had an interesting idea, but failed in the execution of these.
Animation quality of this particular anime asides (from the Studio who did a lot of
works with animation and consistence called MADHOUSE) some scenes in the direction aspect were really weird in a bad way. Trying to do something with camera, angles
and perspective, but failed because of the bad scenarios and akward characters on the scenes, resulting in a messed up scenes.
The idea of making the main cast and the viewers thiking about the situation was a
Time Travel with loop, but in reality it was a some sort of illusion mad by some of the
girl member group of the idols group, really cool, however it failed in the execution of these. Even having a decent dramatic and emotional scenes on this episode, in overall was a total meh. The Mc guy being useless, yeah, chasing the producer for nothing, the Mc girl resolving the chase instead of the IdolOta, the asshole producer saying something stupid like ending the group without showing and telling the reasons and proofs about.
Yeah, escaped twice and captured again and trying to take her back again. I hope this won't become pretty repetitive.
Anyway, better than the first episode, but still far from the good or decent episode, bellow average episode.

If the Madhouse had done something very good, great or better or same level than OPM or doing OPM after Boogiepop 2019, instead of something that nobody cares and asked with less effort, passion and soul, then it's a good thing, considering the fact about OPM2 beign a average show thanks to J.C.Staff, but they are doing something average of something that nobody really cares and asked for.

Luckily, madhouse did not, after the problems of labor exploitation and the painful production of Boogiepop the study doesn't give for more. It clearly shows that OPM was good for having external member.
JC Staff does the work despite not being the most important studio production (the director is a novice), so it's less workload for a half-dying studio like Madhouse.
Madhouse must have important debts if he is getting so many animes followed without quality.

Maybe and at least, they would done something close to season 1 and much better then the second season made by JC Staff for sure, even the studio having a lot of problems. But the point is, instead of making and deliverying a good adaptation of the game that nobody gives any fuck about it, maybe justifying a little bit about of not making the second season of OPM, they are making something generic and mediocre.
It's okay, liking or not, to working on the remake of Boogiepop or making the new No Guns Life anime adaptation instead of OPM 2( also why not Bone, Mappa or even PA Works instead of JC, if that was the case, then it could be a very good or great thing, not having a single complaint about it, unfortunately), not being same on the case of Shoumetsu Toshi, which was something boring and generic show that any new studios can do it.

I think you don't know how they decide what anime will be done and what the study will do. If not, I don't understand why you say that.
On the other hand, no. I think Madhouse wouldn't be able to equal what JC Staff is doing.



I won't continue to answer about OPM because this is a post from Shoumetsu Toshi

I could be wrong about that and i'm not throwing rules about taht, it's just my opinion, but let just forgert about OPM and focusing on how average is Shoumetsu Toshi, where it's the same or little high level comparing to OPM2, besides both being really mediocre shows. If they did Boogiepop was low budget, imagine what they could do with OPM 2?
Anyway, let's just move on.
Also, what is this video?

A video from OPM 2.
Shoumetsu Toshi doesn't have the same level, the level of its production is very low. Maybe DIAnoAce has a similar level, but this anime doesn't have a high demand for animation (Mix look's better).
Shoumetsu had a bad drawing, lipsync, animation, animegraphy, CGI, especially in this third episode.
On the other hand OPM episode 3 was better than the previous one, and the previous ones are better than Shoume.

I have been paying attention to the best of my ability and I still don't understand what's going on. The plot feels like a bunch of ideas randomly thrown together with no care taken in how they were strung together. Like, there's a city that disappeared instantly (even though it isn't really a city, just a small part of a city), telekinesis and maybe stands, and now time loops? What?

Tbh I wish they'd drop the super powers stuff. It's dumb and the powers aren't interesting or explained well enough to work.

So, ... are all tama-shi related to Yuki's regrets? Meaning SHE is the epicentre of everything and the one who brought up the end?

The plot is contrived a lot though, and even though this was relatively good episode, the drama was bit forced and I really struggle to see the point of all this. What's this anime about in the first place?

So they entered some strange time loop in the past as a side effect from getting too close to Lost. Interesting stuff, changing the past to fix the future. Though it yielded no results.

This episode felt a little better than the previous two.

Takuya and co get caught up in a time-loop scenario due to SPR5 member Yua-tan. Apparently, they also were involved in the Lost situation.

So the closer you get to Lost, the more likely you are of getting trapped in a tama-shi's own endless loop cycle, if I got that right, hehe.

This ep is completely different to the last two. It sorta makes it difficult to properly comprehend. And it looks like nothing has changed, apart from Yua-tan's cycle being closed. I don't know. Does that manager -Seiji- have something to do with Lost? That was implied.

Yuki's bro Souma has arrived, nearly bending Takuya's arm the opposite way. Luckily Yuki activated a nuke in response. Kaboom, motherfucker.
