I thought the episode was kinda cute. The way the girls promote their little products and such.

The kids just love the mascot. Looks like some girls are spying are following the idols though.

This episode is alright. We finally get to see the other Locodol groups.

The Awa Awa Girls are spying and stalking the idols around.

This episode made me feel all fuwafuwa inside. I feel healed <3

I liked how the Awaawa girls envied our girls for staying true to their cause.

Also, that scene where nanako hopped over into yukari's bed. YURI SENSES TINGLING
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

I noticed that Nanako didn't stutter when the girls were promoting their city on stage. This might be the first time in the series.

The Awa Awa girls were impressed with Yukari and envied the Narakawa girls for their ability to interact with the public.

Mirai was out of her shell at the end, shouting out Narakawa products to the attendees. She was even praised by the cooks.

Next episode it looks like we'll finally hear our heroines' new song.

Saori looks like she's been up to something the last few nights. Must be some costume for the performance tomorrow.

Yukari, be careful what you wish for...

This episode did a great job of building the suspense for Episode 12, which is
the end of the series. Volume 7 of the Blu-ray/DVD will contain Episode 12
only. That's how I know for sure that there are only 12 episodes. It is normal
practice that a twelve-episode series will release six BD/DVDs containing two
episodes each. In this case, Volume 1 contains Episode 1 only, but there is
also a 25-minute OVA titled 「流川、案内してみた。」. Sorry, I don't know how
to translate it. Volume 1 goes on sale on September 24th.

I feel very worried about how the Nagarekawa Girls are going to do against
those other Local Idol groups. It looks like they are seriously outmatched.
Let's see whether Yukari and Nanako crash and burn on national TV.

What has Saori been busily doing on her laptop all of this time?

This series has quite a lot of Yuri subtext. In fact, there seems to be as much
subtext as in "Maria Sama ga Miteru" (2004) which is considered to be a full-
blown Yuri series.

When they immediately cut to the next scene I was like NOOOOOOOOOOO! WHYY?! XD I know this isn't that kind of show but still. Nothing a headcanon can't fix. And I really thought Yukari won't be able to sleep with Nanyako lying next to her.

1 more left :( I'm glad there's going to be a second season. This is so underrated.

A brief summary of Episode 12 has already been posted, in Japanese, here:
http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/locodol/story/

Quickly scanning through it, I don't see any important spoilers. I guess they are
keeping the details secret until next week.

Just a half hour ago, they uploaded the most recent installment of the 21-minute
weekly webcast: "The New Nagarekawa City Channel" (新・流川シティチャンネル)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43DKdSRfx2E
It is hosted by the voice actress for Nanako. There is no guest host this week.

Nice episode. I don't think they'll win but that's the best for them. And I don't think even Awa Awa wins.
The way it was presented I think Glass Cute will be the winner.

The fictional "Nagarekawa City" is, apparently, modeled very closely on
the real-life "Nagareyama City":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC9Ho6igqQ0
Nagareyama City (流山市) is in Chiba Prefecture, right next to Tokyo.

Chinese-language Wikipedia page:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%81%E5%B1%B1%E5%B8%82

Nagareyama City has four official mascots, shown here:

In addition to that, there is an unofficial mascot which is a radioactive
Cesium contaminated tomato:

Here is "Nagareya-Man":

One of the few shows that grow on you the more you watch it.

Not the best or anything special but simply a good show to watch.

Yukari has just one episode left to express her feelings! Go go, Yukarin, ask Nanyako out on a date and tell her how you really feel, without a "just kidding" at the end! Please!

I guess I got spoiled by Sakura Trick...

4/5

A certain forcing seems to be there, but I would call it more than forcing the lack of naturalness in the shares, or am I that I feel in the narrative.
I feel especially during the exposure of the products on stage, I feel the freshness of Nanyako be less.
But there is also a way of thinking during the episode, this factor is not bad and I like it.
Nana is a bit less effective than usual, as I said before, losing a bit of polish to the episode. Oh well!
The technical and graphics instead does not disappoint and is very good.
Too bad miss a single episode! D:

Narekawa Girls have a great ability to click with the crowd. Nana-chan gets the crowd to laugh when she does something funny, like wanting more of the croquettes.

LOL at Yui sleeping.

Yukari asks if Nana-chan wants to sleep with her, which Nana-chan accepts despite Yukari just joking around. Deep down I was waiting for Yukari to steal a kiss from Nana-chan while she slept.

Nana-chan x Yukari ftw

What? MariMite is a tittle about Class S, in which the yuri subtext is one of the main elements of the story, do not try to compare it with the baiting in the standard idol show. Not to mention the fact that MariMite has a yuri tag for special reasons.

@SweetKiichigo I quite expected that this show would be very popular among yuri fans, but to be honest, I am very surprised that more than half of people watch such a good show just because of blatant yuri baiting. In a bad way, surprising.
