THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This series sure likes background stories. We got more storytelling about Nino's past while in the present, she continues to sing. The lalalala thing is something that is really distracting tbh. They should give some different lyrics to Nino.

The show continues to draw parallel connections between certain characters. Feels very melancholic for the episode.

Interesting... the one who looks like vocalist in the band is actually Yuzu, but that vocalist girl gave the voice of "Arisu" until main girl returns.

While getting the new song (more aggressive ver. of ED? At least it sounded a bit like ED when listening to demo ver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paS5J8hyAYc) to depressed main girl, Yuzu still encourages her to the final round where Momo is not going?! The message from Momo was cruel, and it was delivered by the staff.

The neighboring house becoming parking lot. Revealing that the band is really them, and that on the same day she gets to go to the audition and the band's new song release.

Another ver. of OP (by main girl) aired at the end.

Looks like you were right @Lelouch0202 but boy was I surprised to see that Yuzu was the "lead singer"/the girl that was apart of In No Hurry lol, that was a nice twist....The OP was altered a bit too to signify the change which I liked

This episode was rough as usual but in a great way which is also a constant with this show for me and the feelings that I have for not only Momo, Alice and Yuzu strengthened but also for Miou as well

I feel so bad for Miou and Yuzu most of all after this episode though because they both are such awesome and kind people and yet they're both suffering because of their heart.....And it's impossible for me to even hate Momo because of scenes like the one he had wit Yuzu >.<

Other than that, I really enjoyed all the twists and I'm really excited to see Alice join In No Hurry and perform/sing with them.....Also I'm rooting HARD for Miou right now

Yuzu looks weird looking like a girl. So he was lip syncing the whole. The demo he made sounds nice. Now he and the band wants Nino to join and be the true Alice singing. She gladly accepted. The message from Momo was cruel. Nino made it to the audition, but he won't see her. What an idiot.

Yay! I was right. xD Also yeah, I didn't expect that Yuzu was the one who was dressed as the lead singer and not Miou, should've seen that coming from his height. xD

Great episode once again.

I must say that I'm definitely more on the side of Yuzu x Nino, especially after this episode where Yuzu helps Alice sing again with her song. Though as @Tokoya says, I can't bring myself to hate Momo because of the scenes he has with Yuzu. xD
I suppose Momo is just a little hard on Nino but I guess he just wants their meeting after all these years to be worth it and since he's already pro he expects Nino to be upto the mark as well. So I guess it isn't all that hard to see why he paraphrased the promise in a harsher tone.

Yuzu finally offers Nino the position of In No Hurry's vocalist and it was a really nice scene especially when they said the same thing to each other.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Mhm, Nino's version of the OP sounds quite nice


Overall, nice episode. It had much less cliche and cringe, which is a huge plus, just the lalala was a bit annoying again, but fortunately it was shorter than in the earlier episodes. I think they changed some details from the manga though such as the scene where Nino finds out that the light music club is Inohari, I can't recall the scene where the Inohari members look at the lip sync video being in the manga as well.

I expected her to scream again when she ran out of the house and stood in front of Momo's house, I'm so glad she didn't.

Can't wait to hear Nino sing Canary!

Miou, you're such a good girl, sorry for dissing you before. I wonder when she left off-screen though, and if she'll still continue as a pro somewhere down the line. I'm guessing she'll pass Momo's audition and continue from there?

Anyway, pretty interesting episode. From the OP changes, I'm guessing Nino WILL join In No Hurry? Well, makes sense

Momo is such an asshole. If I were Arisu I would interpret that as something like "You're not good enough, quit, I will not even go to see you trying.". The worst thing - we know that he don't want to see her because he can become unable to compose. We don't know anything more but right now it looks so selfish. Rly Momo.

At the other side, I'm not content with Yuzu in this episode. He should act like a possessive guy, not only think like one.

Anyway, Arisu wasn't able to sing so she was playing with her hair...

Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode, looks like it's already getting fully into the feels. It's been sad so far, but now it's looking really bleak for everyone involved. Loving the music, but honestly can't see why everyone in the show says she's so good, because her singing is awful, especially the live she did (first episode? At the induction ceremony) and especially all the lalalalala stuff was really annoying.

I gotta be honest, at the start i was a little delusional when i found that the in NO hurry's Alice was actually Yuzu dressed like a girl with Miou singing but at least now it has a reason since the similarity with Yuzu's group was easily visible.

Great episode imo and can't wait to see how it goes now.

You see the full ver. video uploaded of that song got so many views right? Some people said it is awful at first but it becomes so cool after listening several time and they get addicted, I think many people also think it is so good but of course not everyone because it is different style of singing than your average anime song, many Japanese musician also praise the song in twitter.

Alice joins In No Hurry! This story just strikes a chord with me and I feel the anxiety Nino is going through as she tries to reach Momo while at the same time Yuzu reaches out to her. I can't wait to see what next episode does with the May 29th showdown of interests...I have a feeling something is going to go horribly wrong

I watched it in 15 min. Mind explaining why the score is so low?


I gave it a 10, so I don't think that comment is aimed at me. Anyways, I despise people who essentially shit talk a show, saying they watched it in a higher speed. At that point, you may as well just not watch it, and you certainly don't have the right to make a comment about it, because you haven't really watched it. People like Jakubajk really are the scum of this site.

I never saw the full ver. and haven't watched any of it more than once, so I don't know about that, but it's certainly not the style of singing I don't like. I really enjoy rock, especially female singers, and the style she uses is one I'm familiar with from a lot of my favourite artists. The problem is, she's just not a good singer. She's not awful, but she has so little control over her own voice that it is jarring to the ears. It's like, if she was just humming a simple song, I would compliment her on her singing, but for her to be performing live, and recklessly going full throttle into a complex tune, it's just a bit too much. Essentially, she needs practice, a good tutor, and lots and lots of tea. All the songs are really good and well written, it's just her singing that is massively sub-par. This can also have the effect sometimes of causing the song to grow on people, as they start tuning out the poor singing to hear the talented musicians behind it.

That scene of Momo with Yuzu at the station didn't make me like Momo, if that's what they were going for (apart from making the relationship between those two grow up) just because of the phone-call scene, it's impossible for me to feel anything positive for him. Yeah, of course you can be as mysterious and cool as you want, but don't be a d*ck...

Its amazing how long Nino stay in love with mono! I do believe in love and I do love to much, but! If it was me, he would always be in my heart and I would wish he the absolute best, I would still care but not enough to expect anything or run after a ghost for 6 years specially if it was when I was a kid! I would just be left with an unhealabel wound ofc!

Momo better have a good story for making so many people suffer! Especially Yuzu. I wish Yuzu does end up stealing Nino. THAT would be fair since he worked so hard in creating In No Hurry for her, he suffered with lossing his voice and also probably mental pain since he had to go through it alone without Nino by his side!

In short he really care for her sooo much! So i really wish from my heart that they do a twist and make Nino fall Yuzu! If not it's just unfair! YUZUUUU 😭😭😭❤️, I wanna hug him! He's one of a kind! Unfair!

Yuzu was hospitalized to fix his singing, why his band members say it's Nino's fault?
Then Nino stops singing, why? Yuzu's possessive of her voice to replace his own, but she aint buy that...?
That weird innohurry twist was cool, was kinda hinted. Yuzu quality goth trap.
Both boys so tsun, and girl so emo & fickle almost more annoying than lala.
Yuzu needs Momo's quote repeated 3 times in the same episode + a million flashbacks to remind her Momo recalls what he said 6 years ago...
At least pacing got better.

Am I the only one that is a bit surprised by the score?
Ok, many people find some things in this anime as annoyoing but still 6.90 is really low score on mal, many shits have about 7.
Especially, I expected this score to go higher after this episode, Yuzu=Alice was actually nice plot twist but no. The score gpt even lower, from 6.94 to 6.90.

The last two episodes were good indeed, I have to say that Yuzu's music is one of the main reasons I'm watching, I really liked the new song and can't wait to hear it.
Regarding the drama, I kind of wish we'd see more from Momo's point of view, because he looks just like a side character for now, but I do like the fact that he and Yuzu keep meeting and talking, even though I foresee for Yuzu a lot of hurt and struggle because of that (and I don't want it, he's such a good boy).
Though Nino is the main character, I can't connect with her most of the time, that's a pity but it also makes me hope for her development of growth in the future.
(By the way I'm watching Chihayafuru and isn't the dynamics between Nino, Yuzu and Momo kind of like the one of Chihaya, Taichi and Arata? Boy has loved girl since forever but she has a crush on the other boy, boys are friends though? The way of narration too feels similar to me: the boy in love and the girl spend a lot of time together while the other doesn't show up much - at the least in the beginning? Am I seeing things? Okay.)

Yeah... It's kinda weird she did not react at all.

And then, Yuzu asks her to sing with them during a live broadcast, and she is like "ok but after my audition ;) ". I'm not really sure it's the first thing I would think if I was in her situation...

I think it could have been handled better.

Idk if I'm in the right episode (3 or 4) with some details to discuss but honestly I just need to vent out

So looks like that shout that ends up with Yuzu losing his singing voice was the one that gave way for their band name huh? also, i'm a bit appalled that when Yuzu tries to sing, he sings like as if his vocal cords were removed WHEN he can speak properly. Yeah, in other words, there's a better way to portray that one, why was it purely gasping.

And it finally dawned to me that the Alice ends up exploring the themes from Alice in Wonderland. Wheewww. Great!

I really cannot trace how will the story progress tbh aergh
