The Aoi bros are cool. Even with one of their friends is injuried, they support him in anyway they can.

It was kinda neat to see some of the kid's past I guess. I mean, to see the brothers having fun and enjoying life together is admiring.

And here I thought they're going for separate paths for a while.
It would be interesting.
One is a pro idol and one a pro soccer player.

I just found out that they're voice separately unlike the Futami twins.

great episode as usual, I love W a lot <3 liked their new song for the ED and I'm happy they managed to fit in Victory Believer as an instrumental.

Guessing next week is finally HighxJoker focus

Not gonna lie: I thought the episode was rather... bitter sweet I guess? Though I do like the focus on the two. and the dynamic is rather interesting.

Thought that this episode was cute as well at the same time, so far this is really good for male idol standards, still saying this statement x3

"W" getto daze! xD

I like their backstory
It's like soccer anime except the MCs stop playing soccer/football because of the injury

Next one.. "Youth" eh?
Well it's most likely HighxJoker.. Pretty sure it should be them

You know, I really lost hope for male idols animes because a lot of reasons. Mainly because I got my hopes up and the anime crushed it into pieces. Like overexaggerated scene or useless heroine.

But Side M has a simple story and they know how to create them. I really like Side M already and every episode never crushed my hope.

Next maybe High x Joker? I like them because they just look fun together

I just noticed there's literally no one watching this show on MAL lol..

Anyway, I liked the twins, but I feel like the dependence on the other twin comes off as clingy and overall unhealthy for the "individual self." But what do I know, I'm not a twin.

…ttaku! This episode made me miss my twin. (。•́︿•̀。) I'm sad now. I really, really love these two! So cute, and so energetic, and just so… cute! If I can't have my twin, then I want to be a big brother to these two. Deal? Deal. \(^▽^)/



I would've sworn that Kyousuke was voiced by Nagatsuka Takuma, but apparently he voices Jun (HighxJoker), which I didn't even realize.

I've thought for a while now that P-san is really pretty damn cool, but after this episode, he's even more so. I love his looks, his voice, the way he interacts with everyone. He's a great guy. They couldn't have made a better P-san. Unless, of course, it was me, but I was unavailable for the role unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts. ;-)

I would say the next story should be Mofumfofuen (or however they decide to romanize もふもふえん), but since the title is "seishun no limit" (limit of youth), probably not. They're too young to be "seishun". I probably know Mofumofuen the best since that's what all the shota doujinshi focus on but after this episode, I'm really liking the Aoi brothers/W. (Maybe even more than 2wink...)

It's likely High x Joker. The title seems to be a double meaning of "Limit of the youth" and "No limit for youth", probably referencing one of their songs "HIGH JUMP NO LIMIT". I believe the word "seishun" is often associated with HxJ too?

Yes, probably so. "Seishun" means "adolescence" or roughly the pre-teen/early teen years, which they translated here as "youth". So, yeah, HxJ is really the only unit (other than W) that fit that range. And, as you said, it's likely a play on their song too.

Okay episode. I don't like W but it was nice actually getting an origin story for once.

I know, right? For some reason Producer is my best boy in Side M (where it's chock-full of interesting idols, go figure), and this episode just makes me love him more.

That opening got me scared and I thought I missed an episode lol. Also thank god it wasn't anything serious. But seriously IshikawaP, you're supposed to be hospitalised, so rest up and stop scouting, dammit!

The twins are rather adorable though, not my favorite but they're cute in their way.

We love P-san! Yeah, I thought I had missed something too. I went back to the previous episode to watch the ending lol. Sometimes when there's something after the credits I don't catch things, so I thought something like that had happened.

Overwork overwork overwork. Whenever I see anime with someone hospitalized, I always wonder if Japanese people actually do spend such long hospital stays. That seemed like, what, a week for an appendix? Maybe 2 weeks? Anime makes it seem like they hospitalize them early and make them stay late just to keep from going back to work/their usual routine. And Yuusuke was hospitalized with a broken leg for at least as long as P-san was there? Wow. American hospitals kick you out 30 minutes after you give birth. /exaggerating... slightly.

I love the twins. So cute. Not my absolute favorite either, but up there. Not a fan of their singing voices, but cute characters. And I have a soft spot for twins. A lot of my favorites actually aren't even in the anime since it focuses on job change. :-( At least some of them have cameos.

It's pretty devastating that they had to quit soccer though. I mean that's what they always did when they grew up.

This was a very emotional and bittersweet episode.

I really like the Aoi brothers. They are such a heartwarming duo. :)
