| Niyodo's chuuni look was a big lol moment. That ultra deluxe cream parfait. How the heck Niyodo was able to finish it? :D All those awkward moments in the café were pretty hilarious, but I guess ZINGS is now stronger than ever before. Both Niyodo and Yoshino wants to do their best and become better idols. Jack-in-the-box. x3 |

| I wish my local places to eat had parfaits like that lol. Would be so enjoyable. Honestly another fun episode, and by god. That ED thing omfg. |
| Great episode! Niyodo's new personality that Asahi helped create was not the most popular with his boss xD. Asahi suggests that Niyodo hangs out with Yoshino but he isn't the best of hosts lol. Asahi takes over his body when they order food xD. His fan club went crazy and thought his account was hacked when Asahi posted a picture of Yoshino... ULTRA DELUXE CREAM PARFAIT?!! And Asahi ate it all without completing the goal of getting closer to Yoshino... Yoshino resolved the fan issue pretty quicky lol. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| This is getting better with each episode. The comedy in this episode hit all the right notes. The characters are engaging and the ending song was badass! I am not a big fan of idol animes but I am loving this one. |
 |
| This episode had me laughing nonstop, Asahi and Niyodo are just so great together, and that sure was a massive parfait Asahi downed in Niyodo’s body lol. And the Kazuki stuff was definitely nice, we learned a lot about him and Niyodo definitely improved his relationship with him. And that final scene between Niyodo and Asahi talking about what kind of idol they are was a great way to end it. And man that ED rocked! Looks like we might be getting a new one every episode potentially. |
| Niyodo resembles a yummy dead fish” lmao I love that because I can totally see it. Niyodo likes to sleep 14 hours a day, loves “the people on his Yen”, and wants to mooch meals off kind rich people? In the words of Todo from JJK: “My brother!” Lol. Love how that the character those two came up with was basically chuuni Niyodo lol. The shock damn near killed the boss! I’m glad they decided to just keep being their usual selves. |
| Really funny. Liking this so far. <3 |
| That parfait was as big as his torso. Asahi longing for food was able to fit it in Niyodo's body. |

| When Niyodo showed up in his rock metal gear, that's funny. That's comedy! So, what brought forth all of this...is a request on ZINGS's candid lives. Yoshino is good on his own...problem is Niyodo, whom his fans have riddled his many facades of personality. So, Asahi proposes a talk with Niyodo to discern his likes and dislikes, and the disparity comes a complete opposite. And that leads to the metal gear vibes of a chuunibyou cosplay...and that obviously didn't work out as well. The jack-in-the-box though. Yoshino's case...was that he was thrust into the idol world without knowing much, and for all intents and purposes, trying to learn of each other more. And an outside "date" to a cafe, I just lost it when Asahi possessed Niyodo just to try out that giganto parfait, and this 3 fans sure lashed out in awe lols. Yoshino does have his qualms about being an idol, and the dead idol doesn't have answers about this. Worse still, he's insecure in front of his fans, and often times Niyodo has to step in and protect him, and this has always been the case since the very beginning. But it's nice for each other to have their backs, and certainly, they need it. The special dark metal ED, it's magnificent. Of the 3 episodes, this one is easily the funniest, albeit the most enjoyable show of the season for me so far. Sad that this is the first show to finish under 10 episodes. |
 |
| I like how they tackled Yoshino's inferiority complex. Pretty fun series. |
 |
| Apparently, i found my new niche anime genre, the behind-the-scenes idol/music industry thing type. Loving this because it's silly, the ghost girl is adorable and the idol duo is interesting, while all the same touching on to some pretty serious creatives/entertainers problems. Who are you? Why are you doing this? Who for? ps: I imagine it must be hard to watch someone halfassing and getting away at something you desperately want to do, but for reasons, can not. pps: 3 episodes 3 different EDs. Nice |
| I think Yoshino was just feeling his star power slipping away from him because of Yuya's sudden transformation and surging popularity. I'm glad they bonded a little, although subpar as it was. |

| Ah yes I almost forgot there was also that other idol in the duo Yoshino, who has his own problems but who's much more vanilla than Niyodo of course... well they're making progress I guess. |
 |
| From an outsider's perspective, it surely must look like Niyodo is going through some identity crisis with his personality shifting from apathethic to energetic to now his chuunibyou phase. |
