Lol, the sailor outfits.

I see the show retains its style to make these idols into mainstream idol superstars. I hope they don't overuse too much humor though as it's getting somewhat distracting on times now. Not bad for the performance this episode though.

KajiKaji's character is also in student council? That sounds like double spy to me. That's why he is described to be in "complicated" position.

Water blue hair guy, as well as twins introduced. The twins abducted her. lol @ someone who sleeps in coffin. One of the three who student council cannot take care. It seems like he knows what they are doing.

They have to perform without KajiKaji's character over the main girl. Their performance attracted their UNDEAD and even the main girl. It seems like UNDEAD is willing to help Trickstar out with training, and Kakkii's character is with the main girl.

Akatsuki's performance. Audiences leaving after Akatsu's performance for grade? Student council's setting? Kakki's character sad for water blue hair guy for no audiences.

I did expect rapid progression, on account of the sheer number of characters it has. Or supposed to have anyway. (If I manage to remember names, it won't be thanks to their introduction in the anime, that's for sure.) But even with that, it feels like there are times when it literally fast forwards, and of course we're unable to ever view the skipped parts... It's jarring, because at the same time it doesn't jump to another day and/or location, but continues the same thread, just a little later. I'm really not sure what the point of skipping ahead is, if someone's gonna take us into a flashback right away, showing what happened in the skipped bit, anyway.

NATSUME CAMEO
ALL THE CHARACTERS
The Light Music club... They ate this episode.
AKATSUKI SECOND BEST UNIT the CGI performances look good bless

I'm happy Enstars' music is being showcased this much, but it's kind of ironic when I remember how it seemed that Happy Ele was reluctant to release the first round of CDs lol.

I wonder what people new to Enstars think of the anime. To me it's a dramatic, ridiculous, eccentric blast of weekly happiness but I am.... obviously biased. It does appeal to me as an old fan but I'm not sure it has much new fan appeal

NATSUME!! REI!! 2WINK!! And the best thing of this episode AKATSUKI PERFORMANCES!!! Literally, how much I screamed while watching this...
Great episode with some funny moments and more songs. I feel sad for Ra*bits even if they are my least fav and I don’t care so much about them, I know they worked hard! Can’t wait to see the others boys and maybe some cameo of character who aren’t in the main story :3

I’m glad sub are out really fast compared to other animes since it bugged a lot while I watched in live..

Best part of this episode was Rei and you can't convince me otherwise. Best boy finally appeared. Now I just need Rei trying to be a brother to Ritsu moments and I will be happy.

Other things I liked:
- Natsume's cameo. Love all the Oddballs.
- 2WINK kidnapping Anzu. I can seriously watch that all over and not stop laughing.
- Rei tying up Koga. Just. Yes.
- Koga knocking Makoto off the roof. xD
- Rei trying to recruit Anzu (*whispers* shiiiip)
- Rei looking like a condescending demon when we know he is anything but
- Rabbits appearing
- My son being precious as always ; ~ ;


Things I DIDN'T like:
- MY SON CRIED. HAJIME YOU PRECIOUS CHILD DON'T CRYYYYYYY ; 3 ;
- Didn't care for AKATSUKI. FIGHT ME.
Only likeable member is Souma. The performance was okay, nice CGI animation but I could have seriously watched it and not have them in it and be perfectly fine.

Yes, I am Rei biased but he is best boy.
I want more UNDEAD and also some Knights. Best units need love and more oddballs!
Can't wait for next Sunday! *slinks back into the shadows*

I've been so hyped for this episode since last week's, seeing as they're going part-by-part from the main story in the game. But the main reason why I was so hyped for this episode? Well... I'm Rei biased. I've been waiting 5+ years to see my best boy animated and I'm highly satisfied. Rei looked soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. Like oh my god. I can't wait to see more of him, and soon, his brother Ritsu and their hilarious moments as siblings. The comedic moments made me laugh quite a lot. I got a huge kick out of the twins kidnapping poor Anzu. Just toss her around, kids! Just toss her around. xD I didn't care for Akatsuki's appearance outside of seeing Souma nor did I really care for their song. I'll admit, the CGI animation is smooth and well made, but I just couldn't get into that moment due to my dislike for the unit. Another thing, the scene with Hajime crying. As sad as it already was to see the poor child cry, it would have been better if they had shown that scene a little more... Angsty? I felt it would have better suited the moment. Outside of that, it was yet again, another great episode and I look forward to next week's.

A much better episode than the first one! The first one felt really awkward as they had to try and introduce the story to newcomers, but now that they're getting into the story it's all coming together well.

Ahhhh, I was so happy that AKATSUKI performed my favourite song of theirs. And honestly, the CGI was pretty good. I wish we got a full JoyfulxBox performance too but that might have been painful to watch. I don't like seeing Hajime cry ;_;

Also, Anzu is perfect.

i can't help but feel it was a bit rushed but to their credit, we got the first two parts of the main story (hierarchy and rebellion) in two episodes so i'm guessing they're going to build up upon trickstar's revolution. akatsuki's scene was better than i expected (thank you for your sacrifices reiPs and knightsPs), looking forward to what's next

Better than last week's episode imo haha, even if last week was the first episode of the show but I was slightly annoyed at the introductions and just the overall feeling but now it was more fun seeing some performances and some characters that seemed more interesting. Even if some introductions were weird, like Rei's introduction even if that is basically how he supposedly is in the game as well but still hahah, it was fun tho.

That was a really nice introduction for Natsume! But I hope this wasn't his first and last appearance and we don't only see all the characters who were new added to the main story through cameos.....
By the way did anybody else noticed that torned Valkyrie Poster on the pinboard? I'm totally curious now *___*

Funny and definitely better than the first episode.

Ra*bits and AKATSUKI's performances were very good.

Outright use of 3D for the performance was utterly cringe inducing to watch. I thought Kami Kuzu Idol was bad in this regard, but looks like 2019 was horrendous with this tech.

Hilariously during this period, people thought this kind of CG is enjoyable. I LOL'd. I wonder if I was around then then whether I could sit through it.
