| Everything is a team effort in thi show. Haru may be among the most talented here but to make a song work, it has to be a collective effort from all these idols together. Happy to see the group stay united and performing together at the end. |
 |
| What a great performance. Good job, girls! :) |
 |
| Haru's history with her previous group HY:RAIN, begins with her childhood friend Ren, and subsequently 3 others to form the idol group, and out of the 5, Haru worked the hardest and shone the brightest, while others fell on the wayside, taking with her the hurt that she could be driving others away with her talent, and therefore quit being an idol before they could even get off the ground. With Manager Yuki, Haru is given another chance to be an idol, but at the request of downplaying herself so that others can become strong. It's a hard request to juggle, but this also comes at the cost of knowing Haru and her insane talent, or else it will be the same result of driving TINGS to despair. And Kyoka is determined not to make it happen, for the rest will fill in with their serious talent and make Haru be serious, and this is the only way they can convince her as one collective effort. Both Haru and Naoki share the same sentiments, and it's up to the manager himself to do his work and convince Haru back to TINGS, whatever the answer Haru may give before the Nakano Sun Plaza show. And though she makes a return, still not being entirely trustful of the others being able to catch up to her, the others will force their way to get to her. For the first time, performing as an act of 5 under the TINGS banner, this is easily a breakout moment for the idol group to perform to their very best and showcase Haru's seriousness. A great performance nonetheless (I wish that songs had subtitles though to join in the fun), and TINGS is ready to conquer more for the eventual big show. A 2 week-delay after this, and it'll be the wait into the Fall season for a new episode. Oh well, can wait. |
 |
| That was a great performance from TINGS. They can also make Haru get serious which will be a benefit for everyone in the group. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Another fantastic performance by TINGS its so great to see them united again and be able to get Haru to perform at 100% |
| Basically this episode: Nabatame Haru: suffering from success. I thought would be a greater reason for her street disguise, like she debut as HY:RAIN and need to hidden, but no, she is just into the pigtails with glasses outfit. Now I wonder for how long Haru can perform before getting tired. She gave her 100%, but at the end she was fine still. |
 |
| I can safely say that this is the best idol series that I watched since 1st Idolmaster. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Here's hoping we get to see HY:RAIN side of things within the anime, there's a lot left unexplained there. Really liked the visuals on the bench scene, very Kei Oikawa esque. |
| Adored this episode, with Haru's backstory out, and I am sobbing She's been through so much, its great now that she has ones who can keep up with her and chase their dreams together aww Wonder what answer Haru'll give to manager...I'm quite hyped to see what other improvements TINGS will go through |
| Excellent episode. We got the full Haru backstory. Haru's friend was pretty mean, it was understandable she felt left behind when watching Haru perform but letting her leave the agency and ignoring her was a dick move. It was a happy ending at the end, the girls instead of feeling intimidated are taking it as a challenge to get as good as Haru. All 5 members are back and you know you've given a great fucking performance when the audience start asking for an encore. TINGS has made it boys 🥳🥳 There was a slight change in ED visuals and it's great. I haven't watched many idol animes but I can safely say this is my favourite one. 6/5 episode. Looking forward to next one. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| So just like I thought, haru was a member of Hy:Rain. Been foreshadowed for a while now. It’s sad but unfortunately realistic that there’s always a Beyoncé or Justin timberlake of every group that’s just head and shoulders above everyone else. Personally I wouldn’t hate my “friend” for being better than me at something. If anything it would be motivation to improve myself and grow, so clearly ren and haru’s friendship wasn’t as strong as she thought. Manager Kun was the MVP of this episode for sure tho. Gave Haru the pep talk she needed to hear, and wow that performance with all 5 members of TINGS together finally was great! So glad we still have 3 more eps left too |

| @TiagoCosta @TsutanaiFuun @Marinate1016 Ayo, screw that friend, we better see TINGS mogging HY:RAIN otherwise I wouldn't be satisfied with this show |

Noisrev said: Absolutely. And it should be easy with Haru going all out, no one stands a chance except Houtaru herself.@TiagoCosta @TsutanaiFuun @Marinate1016 Ayo, screw that friend, we better see TINGS mogging HY:RAIN otherwise I wouldn't be satisfied with this show |

| I expected something like this and it was a great ep! Now are we gonna see some interaction between Haru and Ren? btw Ren's hips are lethal God damn!  |
My Candies 2024      My Old Candies:      |
| the surprise of the season, a trully idol anime! |
 |
| This episode is too good, the broadcast need to be delayed for 3 weeks (according to the official twitter). Hidden idol gem of the year. |
| i loved this anime since beginning !! |
| I was very excited when Haru was able to give her all on stage together with the TINGS, I hope that in the future Haru will have a confrontation with Kurogane Ren her former partner Idol |
 |
| even in Haru's previous idol group, nobody can even match-up to her! so we're here again with the common troupe: 'talent vs hard work' huh... 4/5. |
 |
| “Be Your Light” Yes, Haru was in Hy:Rain, and with her friend. Everything was fine, but as it turned out, Haru was the one who stood out the most in the group. And that's why she got to go. Yuki-san convinced him to be in "TINGS" and Haru accepted it, in exchange for being "controlled". The girls were determined that Haru was going to come back and with the help of the Manager went to her. The day came and Haru went to them, and at the presentation she finally gave her all. The song was good, it went well. The girls saw that Haru was really one step ahead, but they will not give up trying to catch up with her. And now yes, "TINGS" is complete. Good chapter. Here, many images xd |
| Dang! What a good friggen performance! I understand the sentiment of holding one's self back-- especially when they showed how not holding back turned out for the last group. I'm glad it turned out this way. Honestly, I'm glad I took a chance and watched this anime. I'm kinda getting inspired. ;_;; |
| It's great that things went better for Haru after that backstory where she had to quit her previous idol group because she was too good for the other ones (which is kinda weird but doesn't surprise me from an idol show) and now we got TINGS' 1st 5 members representation with a pretty good song, that was nice! |
 |
The performance was great. Got nothing that much to say. Just seeing everybody keep sharing their word of wisdoms about "teamwork" like they do in every episode. And yeah, I like the ending. |

| TINGS finally complete. Good performance for them. |
| (blah, had RL and computer issues... didn't get to watch anime for a month >_<) ___ ___ ___ Looks like Pres Yuki was right all along, in fact, I think this whole thing was scripted by her, LOL Pres Yuki knew exactly what needs to happen to help all the girls conquer their weakness and fears. And bringing in Naoki was part of her plan, cause she knows Naoki is good at solving puzzles with his lie-detector powers, LOL. |
