Was sad that we didn't have ep last week, but glad it's back this week. Always a highlights of early Friday afternoon for me.

We start off in a pretty calm like state, getting the right rhythm is always important after all, I love the dedication and passion towards one's craft. The opening was just super cute.

Holy shit the English song. Wasn't expecting that. But fitting for the season. Much like the random abs was super random lol. Along with the eating the sorrows away scene lol, lot of highlights in today's ep for sure.

That ending was super wholesome though, it's nice how they come together for Christmas Song was pretty dope as well.

Episode 7 is out!



Holy Gifts. Couldn't this episode have come out on Christmas Day instead a.k.a next Friday is Dec 25?

DJ Shinobu Inuyose of Peaky P-Key, and looks like her and leader Kyouko have an interesting childhood history! OOH that sweet ABS though, that's Yuka indeed.

Merry Xmas, with the usual Xmas songs. Doing a concert that's in tune with the festivities is a good idea for sure, at least for Happy Around!, but it's NOT GOOD to reserve a spot THIS LATE (at least for Maho, and Rinku binge-eating was such a hilarious travesty).

Lucky for them, there's Peaky (Kyouko) to help them out. The charismatic leader whom has grown up with music all her life, and encountering Shinobu in the aforementioned neighbourhood of "childhood friends": a musical background and a DJ background, both well-renouned families, what are the matching odds.

To have formed the group during Christmas, it's a "blessing in disguise" indeed. Adding to it is Happy Around!'s inclusion for the festivities for support.

The collab though with Rinku...THIS IS BIG, and really going out with a BIG BANG. What a great episode though.

We are back after one week break because of HapiAra RL 1st live.

First scene and we are blessed with little Kyouko. Bless Sanzigen.

Are you angry or are you hungry choose one Rinku.

More please. I need more Peaky P-key focused episode like this.

Let's do the bug bang! Let's do the big bang!

Anyway that was surprise duet we got. Really unexpected.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Christmas Party!!!
Unfortunately, Happy Around can't reserve the hall. But bad thing turns good when they were invited to the Peaky P-key performance. What a Christmas present for Rinku when she has a chance to perform with Peaky P-key.

That is a huge pressure for Maho when she saw Rinku shines during Peaky P-key performance. Can't wait to see what Maho will bring out in the next episode.

It ... It was ... quite emotional. To be honest, I love it when shows like this add drama and plot development, it's just, it was so dramatic that it was a little unexpected. However, as already mentioned, this is quite similar to the recent increasing drama trend in the Bandori anime adaptation. Either way, this topic of jealousy really caught my attention, so it'll be interesting for me to see what I get in the next episode. Judging by the preview, it will be pretty emotional

When I hear about a Christmas episode, I usually expect something silly-innocent and Christmas rather than an emotional drama about ambition and jealousy for your BF's new successful friends. However, as I have noticed, there is now a tendency to deliberately fill with a plot those types of episodes that were previously considered a fan service. Think back to the beach scene in Darling in the FRANXX.

@KANLen09 Hello! How do you like the show in general? While I'm salty as usual because most of the audience only thinks about ships (of course), I'm also pleasantly surprised that this anime really has a plot and isn't just trying to sell the game and its characters for simps

I'm sure for this kind of show it's not going to be serious at all, especially when you see Rinku's personality, and it's also a way for Maho to improve as a DJ I guess, but I don't expect serious drama in an anime like this

Apparently, the next episode promises to be even more dramatic. And melodramatic too, as it premieres on December 25th lol. Either way, this will be Episode 8, so at least it will be pretty significant in the context of the plot.

Oh yes, thats some nice background story for my girl, Shinobu. She really was a shy girl, even from her childhood memories, that needed to do that confession with such a perfect time. A princess trapped inside the house, huh? Like some fairy tale xd.

Well, thats the Peaky P-key origination formed for the first time that surprisingly was very good. The interaction between Rinku and Kyoko was alright, its really gave a well reserved chemistry. Its even already created a spark for Maho. She felt competed. I hope its made her dj-ing skill better, or even made her down? Well, the situations might be detailed at the next episode. But for this one, i am enjoying so much with Peaky P-key sole performance. A bit unfortunate for Happy Around, tho. Maho really got a bad luck. However, its such a nice way to changed a little bit of tone by making Peaky P-key as a center of the episode. Even if its not hold too long. I am really appreciated with that.

Another great episode. This show consistently delivers. I like that they’re delving more into Peaky P-Key now that Happy Around! has been set up. The song was fantastic. This show has some of the best music I’ve heard in a while. I can sense that Maho is getting jealous of Rinku’s success. It’ll be interesting to see what that’ll lead to in the coming episodes.

feels like Rinku suddenly became more popular. Being personally called out (in a friendly manner) by the leader of a famous band.. in front of so many people. Wow..

Peaky performance is awesome. At first Rinku not wearing a costume felt awkward, but she eventually blended right in with the Peaky P girls.

I'm a bit worried though.. looks like Rinku is being scouted. This could be trouble.

still wanted to see Happy Around reindeer costumes and mini skirt santa! :)

kinda surprised the other P-keys agreed to having Rinku go on stage. not really sure if they'd actually try to get her out of Happy Around though, I doubt Rinku would ever do that.

Maho did seem a bit jealous though. a bit starstruck seeing Rinku performing, perhaps because she doesn't actually ever watch her from the audience, she just sees from the back. maybe now Maho's thinking that HA is holding Rinku back?

This CGI is Godlike, Rinku eats at 120fps when she is angry, that scene alone made this chapter a 10/10, a week of waiting for this episode was totally worth it.

This was a very cute and wholesome episode, P-Key is awesome, I liked Kyouko a lot she is a really friendly and cool girl. But man, the colab with Rinku was AMAZING, is funny to see Rinku knowing exactly the dance, song, and what exact parts to sing, but it doesn't matter it was so good! I wasn't expecting anything like that, my mind was blown away!!!

And the last part, sad Maho, she is the heart of the group, the DJ, but Rinku gets all the recognition, and not just that, but it looked like she was happier with P-Key, wich is great because that means Maho must try to do even better than that to prove everyone she is the best DJ here!!!

Every chapter of this series is a bless for me, I'm so damn hyped for the game to be released globally next year, I cannot wait!!!

Aww too bad our girls from Happy Around couldn't do a X-mas performance but they went to see PeekyP's performance instead and Rinku even joined them. Her performance was great.

We can make a religion out of Yuka's abs.

I loved this episode, Kyoko and Shinobu's backstory was so sweet, their smol versions melted my heart.

Rinku's eating scene is getting the love it deserves in this thread, but to me the peak moment of the episode was during the concert when Rinku got invited to join in with the hype music playing in expectation for that. That scene was so exciting, Peaky P-Key sure know how to bring the heat!

This is the episode that I finally gave my score on D4DJ. Because this was A GREAT EPISODE.

Our Happy Around girls unfortunately haven't gotten a place where they can perform. All girls are disappointed and our main girl Rinku decided to "eat away her sorrows". There she had a conversation with Kyoko and the story of how Peaky Peaky had formed, she also gave Rinku the tickets to their concert.

In the middle of their play, Kyoko invites Rinku to the stage. And guys...yes...BIG BANG is the BEST SONG YET. The performance, the choreography and Rinku singing along with the hot profile Peaky girls are so marvelous, that I almost cried. Well Maho almost cried but for different reasons, as she kinda felt down on how Rinku shines in her eyes.

Overall, best episode yet and I'm damn enjoying this anime for sure.

Rinku was confronted by Kyoko from Peaky P-key. That is awesome, it shows how talented Rinku is. Not just that, Rinku was invited to perform along with Peaky P-key on stage. How cool is that? There seems something that is bothering Maho, it feels like some tension is rising. Even though Happy Around did not get their own stage to perform on, at least they got premium tickets to the performance.

Nice Christmas episode.

Those costumes would have been so cute. :3

Rinku's performance with Peaky P-key was fantastic!

Poor Maho, though. I understand if she feels jealous of Rinku's success. She also would like to get more attention.

The best episode so far. The music and the soundtrack for this episode were quite good. I especially liked the scene with Rinku eating her sorrows and the consert at the end.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.
