DarkMorford said: Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy if the series ended right here. But luckily there's still another 5 episodes to go. How are they going to top this one? If it follows the game, it actually has the potential to be emotional too, though not necessarily topping this episode. |
| That was really the most sweet and emotionally touching episode of Idolmaster T_T |
 |
| I hope producer will create project fairy just like in the op. |
| Best Episode so far.... 5/5 Damn you 961..... |

twonline said: I wonder... I might actually be thankful to them (or rather their president, since we now learned that Jupiter didn't know), since because of that incident this episode became so powerful...Damn you 961..... |

| Man, when Chihaya belted out that part in Promise, it touched me so much that I burst into tears... This episode was very powerful... |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
| I'm digging the poll results rofl. |
| Goose bumps when Chihaya opened her voice, her singing is really beautiful |
 |
| I teared up at the end of this episode. It was great to see as Chihaya is my favorite idol!Beautiful episode! |
| Used to be TheSethAffect |
| I've come to realize Idolmaster is a deceptive show at times. Sure, there's all the moe and fluff and it has its boring and generic episodes, but really, for the most part it's a good anime. At first, I actually went into Idolmaster thinking it was going to be a harem ridden with fanservice. Not sure why I thought that... Glad to know I was wrong on that part. And with this, it culminated with an amazingly directed episode. Chihaya's performance was wonderfully done. What a strong and powerful voice. Yeah, not gonna lie. I cried a little. |
| good episode indeed |
 |
| The moment Chihaya sang... damnit I couldn't control it. |
     |
| Wow, when Chihaya started singing, a shiver went through my spine. Absolutely beautiful. |
 |
| It's almost the 28th! That day can't come faster enough. |
 |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zcWwomiQDYg The full version is finally here, and it's 7 minutes of beautiful music. Well, time to stop looping the TV version and start looping this one. |
| It's raining... ;_; |
 |
| Such a powerful, touching moment...until "THANK YOU FOR SMILE". Killed it. |
| Things were very difficult to Chihaya, but it was good that all other girls help |
| Everyone's cryin, everyone's screamin, everyone's sad. The most saddest episode in this series. EVER. I fell in love to this ending song. So beautiful! |
 |
| I actually started to cry when Chihaya started singing... Such a great episode. |

When she sings, the clouds are parted and the sun shines brightly upon us all. That voice...is not just angelic, it's godly. Why is this series so good? and...*sob*...why didn't they write one more first phrase on each verse of that ending song...*sob*...them silly idiots...*sob*... I saw this episode last night and I still have tears in my eyes. RobUsaB said: Well, damn, I didn't expect IdolM@STER to make me cry. I didn't either, but episode 7 already did that. Then comes episode 20... Mau-Kun said: I knew this episode would make me cry, but I didn't expect this much, I LOVED IT!!! Yeah. I knew shit was going to hit the fan, and it was only a question of how hard. It it the fan hard. And the dramatic recovery was...absolutely glorious to behold. Tears were shed for this episode. The music here is just...beautiful. Arsonal said: [avatar: young Chihaya] @ Arsonal: now I know why your avatar is so meaningful. RandomStuff said: Problem was the beginning was slow and a lot different from what its become. Many people simply rated it low and left the series before it got better, hence a lot of low scores are stuck in there that probably won't be changed unless people hear it being talked about and decide to give it a second chance. I'll keep this in mind. I'll rate it high; this series has delivered far more than I expected of it. togeyanagi said: Goose bumps when Chihaya opened her voice, her singing is really beautiful HOLY SHIT YES Mormegil said: Yeah, not gonna lie. I cried a little. Only a little? :P |

  |
| reminds me of nagisa's arc. I want to see more of Chihaya this seems rushed or something. But I don't mind seeing more of Yayoi! |

| manly tears... why did u come out... great ep! love it~ |
 |
| It's been a while that I let a tears drop from watching anime. Glad I decided to pick Idolm@ster. 208th 5/5 |
| Wow I havn't seen so many 5/5 in awhile. I admit, I havn't cried so hard since Clannad After Story. Amazing. |
 |
| The best episode I saw in this series.. Cried.. *sniff*. |
 |
| Let's go kill 961 pro now. |
| Did not expect to be crying like a little bitch when I started this. |
 |
| Way to go Chihaya, overcoming the odds. |
 |
| The Yakusoku performance almost brought tears into my eyes. Just way too beautiful. Great to see Chihaya overcoming her trauma. |
 |
| Haruka is such a nice girl, wish I had a friend like her. And whole episode was just perfect, made me cry like everyone else. |
| In everyone's darkest hours, we all wish we had a friend like Haruka. :) |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| 250th Vote for 5/5. This episode took a few hours, a re-watch, and a critical de-construction with resident Chihayafag, Don_Don_Kun to sink in. Truly a SSSSS-rank (how many Ss did Nanoha franchise use?) episode. I have not encountered something this moving in a very long time. |

| Best episode really beautiful ending song there at the end and when Chihaya start sing wow 5/5 |
| Chihaya wasn't much of a character until this episode.. sadly I felt annoyed with her most of the time. When her past came out during this episode I couldn't help feeling so much, I shed so many tears seeing her as a little girl, and that f***ing shoe! oh my god! I'm sniffling just thinking about it at her feet on the stage, and they all appear to sing around her and .. it's so wonderful! 5/5!! |
