| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Aye, now I remember why Saki is one of my favorite characters in the show. Her attitude and personality is back in full force this season again. Let those tears out! I also love her outfit for the performance this episode. Kinda makes her look badass and tough the same time. |

| The animation whenever they're on stage is much better now. I also noticed it on EP1. |
| Saki Team Banzai... |
 |
| Never expected to see Saki cry like that, it broke my heart. Thou watching Sakura cry after that made me laugh. Franchouchou's song in this episode was okay. |
 |
| Oh! Yutoku Inari Shrine. It is one of the largest and one of the most famous Inari shrines in Japan. It's a Saki episode. Ryu is kind of a hero for her, the one who brings her back on track. No wonder why she was very hyped when she knows that she will able to work with him. Saki's cry was very sad until Sakura changes the mood with her cry. Franchouchou got their own radio channel. It was very nice progress for them to get something new, and also a little step closer to conquer the whole Saga. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
I can't stop laughing when I see Sakura like that.. |
| I wanted to cry to because Saki's got turned down but have to laugh more at Saki's going to dry and crunchy hahaha. That dude needs to straighten his hair, because we get to see misinterpretation from it. |
 |
| The reactions in today's episode were so on point haha. From everything related to Sakura, to even Ryu being out of breath while climbing all those steps. I couldn't stop laughing at how it was presented. Lovely stuff. |
| No double riding xD Felt bad for Saki, but no better way to get over your first love than to carry on a legacy to the next era. And Ryu is a damn Chad with his hairstyle lmao. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Okay right off the bat that was one hell of an entrance from ryu coming in like a complete boss. God this was a good saki focused episode and can I just say Sakura had all kinds of fun moments like her eyes literally popping out or drying up into a mummy. Can't forget to mention the song it's not bad it had sort of a 50s feel to me might have been because of the outfits though. |
| Seeing him grow old must've been depressing for Saki. His hair was trying to hold on to life lol. |
 |
| New OP BANGSSSS. Really nice to get a Saki focused episode. Under all that tough exterior she’s really sensitive and loving. Seeing her crying like that was really tough :/ That OST during that scene was great tho. Goosebumps. |

| Nice episode saki meets her crush ryu was funny to watch ,and i love tatsumis voice actor! |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| May I say that the OP slaps? It's musically different from Season 1, but I don't mind at the very slightest. Kotarou being his usual frenetic self, and Mamoru Miyano sure is having fun as per usual. The gangster girl Saki gets her moment to shine once again in the usual character-focused episode, not just at Yutoku Inari Shrine with Franchouchou filming marketing for TV, but also getting a chance to see White Ryu, her idolized Saga superstar to which his words are fire to her soul. Saki is a tough girl on the exterior, but deep down, White Ryu's words penetrates her very soul, and while the link between her and Reiko in Season 1 is finally established, her feelings are heartfelt for the very first time. But to hear that Ryu's time on the radio show doesn't last long, it's sad for Saki with her sad outbursts, but to know that Ryu is giving Saga in the right hands of Franchouchou, he's relieved to let it go. More than Sakura being a joker, she's Saki's mental and physical support. Another Franchouchou song to end things up, and another fantastic episode reliving the nostalgia of Season 1. The answers you're looking for...can be found in Saga. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode much more than the first one. Saki is my favorite in the group and this episode did a good job showing her growth as she takes over the radio show for the man she loved and idolized. The performance looked much better than their usual performances as well. Also, the OP looks really great too. |
| Feels like we're mostly playing the hits still rather than treading truly meaningful new ground here, but at least we're back to the comedic side of this show rather than whatever episode 1 was. The humour was definitely back, and more of that energy is what this show needs to keep itself interesting. That pompadour, though. How much time and money has Ryu spent styling that thing for so many years. |
| Sakura's reactions are hilarious. Her eyes popped out lmao |
| Sakura drying up because she was crying too much was pretty funny if you ask me. |
 |
| Saki's episodes are always great, love how Sakura is always there for her. |
KanameYuuki said: Saki's episodes are always great, love how Sakura is always there for her. The authors separately noted in a fresh interview that they liked the interaction between Sakura and Saki because it was a great source of humor, while Junko and Ai's interaction helped more to look at the contrast between eras in the idol industry.

The authors add their interaction through a subplot about a man that Saki is obsessed with. I love that the authors still know how to entertain and troll the audience at the same time. |
 |
| Great episode. Much better than the first one. Humor was on point, Saki is still best best girl and the final song was really good. On a side note the ost playing during Saki's cry was beautiful |
| Is just me or the OP is the most visually appealing of this season? A very hot-blooded episode. I'm seriously impressed that White Ryu and his drive didn't get arrested yet or didn't loses all his money in tickets. |

I couldn't stop laughing at how it was presented. Lovely stuff. Totally agree, just my kind of humor. The quick cuts and the fact that it never lingered on one joke for too long made the whole episode really entertaining. |
| Pretty good development for Saki and that radio channel, Ryu has some crazy hairstyle xD but well seems like it's her who takes over the radio for him. Even though that crying scene between her and Sakura was kinda sad, but funny at the same, it's hard to describe xD |
 |
| Dat song 101/100. Top idol music. Great development of Saki..but seeing Sakura cry makes me kinda sad as well |
 |
| Hilarious and also quite a moving episode with Saki meeting her hero. The OP is another instant classic, just like the first seasons one. |
| Oh boy, just 2 EP but we already know that this season will be even better than the S1! Also that OP BANGER AF!!! |
 |
| That new intro is amazing and this episode had me smiling the whole way through. It seemed to parallel the chicken episode and they talked about starting over so I wonder if the rest of the series is gonna have more parallels. Either way I can't wait for the next episode, this is complete dumb fun. |
       |
| The opening is pretty good. Loved Sakura's zombie reactions lmao. I also liked the extra character development we got on Saki. |

| wow Saki's hair covers her eye it's still visible but Ryu's hair covers his eye and it's not visible smh #doublestandards but this ep once again reiterates saki best girl |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I'm not supposed to have feels watching this anime man...FUCK WHY?!?! Tae still making me laugh the most in this anime though.  New OP is good but fails in comparison to the First. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Winter 2525 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Well, time to put the Yūtoku Inari Shrine on the list... That looked fantastic Comedy was on point today! Cycling sequence was incredibly funny with the rear tire popping and arriving with only the handle bar in Saki's hands made me laugh a lot. Sakura's reactions were pretty funny as usual, her eyes popping out after Saki's confession was simply hilarious and Sakura turning into a mummy was also solid stuff. Pretty emotional episode. Nice development on Saki's character. Also good to see those reporters again, or bloggers? I don't remember what they did again. What I do know is one of them was going after a hunch cause they recognized one of the girls last season. I hope they will keep investigating that. Also, that OP is a fucking banger!! |
 |
| This White Ryu dude is what I would imagine Ryu from Shaman King to look like in 40 years lol. I liked this Saki-focused episode, we got to explore her character a little more and see that she has a softer side to her underneath that tough exterior. No wonder she's best girl. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Fucking lmao dude Ryu rides on the front of a windshield. What a riot. I also love what they did with his hair being floppy now that he's old. I love me some Saki so this was pretty good. The end performance was good as well. I wonder are they actually going to be regularly featured on that radio show now? That would be kinda cool. |
| Pretty good ep. Seeing the girls go on TV was pretty fun and seeing Saki gush over someone like Ryu, as well him being important to her prior to her death, was pretty sweet. Feelsbad that Saki will never grow older and thus never get a chance to be with Ryu but it's pretty cool that she and the girls have their own radio show to host. The performance at the end was really damn good. It looked so much more better than the ones in the first season. I'm excited for the next ep. |
 |
| My tomboy wife Saki is the best zombie Idol in the world, please love her more. I also believe the director or scriptwriter of the show must be a Saki-fan, she constantely has the best episodes and no 3D animation to be seen. |
| Saki episodes are definitely the best, no wonder she's my favorite. Ryu was a hardboiled man, loved the dynamic between her and Ryu and how his words played a major role in her life. I love how Saki basically says you can't understand Ryu's words you need to feel them. Great stuff, the answers we seek can be found in Saga but where can we find Saga? At the end of your answers. (: |

It is something else lol |
