A lot of character interactions this episode...as expected I guess.

Rui is lucky to have someone that cares about his well-being. The cute little toy though...could work for a luck charm. I think Rui should improve his drawing skills

Another group. OnoKen's character is hurt from his sport activity. They talk about the oldest pairs from both groups. The middle pair of Procella worries about OnoKen's character, who is cheerful one in the unit. When youngest pair hosting their own radio and oldest pair as the guest, leader guy tries to cheer him up with the rabbit doll. Everyone, even Six Gravity's young pair, saw how he tries his best.

Procella youngest pair together finally. Aoi-san's character is the one who cheers him up when he cannot do "cheer up" to the while group. He tries to compose a song, but still cannot tell him. He got 4th. Then their turn to sing their song live.

ED: "initium ~Shikou Hyouron~ (initium~始告氷輪~)" by Hajime

Megane guy next (being one day shop owner of Animate shop), as well as Six Gravity.

Heartwarming episode, i like it so much! More focused on tsukiuta member, not like ep 1 that more focused on the fans. Happy to know the personality of each member ^^/

I like the concept of the anime, different MC each episode ^^

Another nice episode, it definitely has a ShoHolly feel to it more so this time around. I liked the conversation between Rui and Iku. How Kai told Rui that he can be himself, but learn to be able to do more things one at a time. It's also nice to see someone who has two really different dreams, being an idol and being in track and field. No one said he couldn't do it either, just that maybe he has to choose one between the two. When he said he will definitely do both, everyone just accepted it and cheered him on :) Liking the relationship dynamic of the group as well. It was cute when Iku said Kai was the father, Yoru the mother, You the older brother, and they were the twins XD Shun is definitely short of an enigma though lol. He's an odd one alright.

I'm convinced this is the best CGI for idol anime around lol, and the ED song was really good.


Relaxing episode, I like this format.

yeah i like this SOL-ish feeling they're going for, it was nice to see the characters just interact and support each other like that and seeing them juggle both work and school life.

Finally and idol anime that doesn't focus on only improving boys' singing/dancing skills. A good heartwarming episode.

This episode felt really dull but thats because Iku is really bland compared to all the other idol boys, not just in design but personality too. I would much rather watch Rui or the sadistic leader of Procell. But the group song sounds pretty nice. I also really loved Tori's ED which reminded me of Masato's (Utapri) song style! I have high hopes for the other solo character songs in the next few weeks ♡

IKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, his episode did not disappoint :3 His interactions with the rest of the Procella members were so cute, Rui's talk and encouragement was quite heartwarming too :') Totally a fan of the SoL feel and don't mind the one person/week focus though his ED song being in episode 11 is evil, I HAVE TO WAIT 9 MORE WEEKS TILL A NEW IKU SONG OTL

I feel like listening to the drama CDs and what not really gave me a better enjoyment of the anime especially with how the CDs give you a background on how the members met and came to be a unit but as a standalone anime, Tsukiuta is definitely one of the top Male Idol anime

Love the performances so far too, them CGI/MMD-style is way smoother and better executed than Utapri and even Idolish7, so definitely no complaints there!

This anime is so so good i'm so glad they show the regular side (or presumably what's normal) in a student/idol's life. Sometimes it's easy to gloss over an idol and make them win at everything but im so happy that wasn't the case with Iku. He knew he didn't have to win, he just wanted to run and do his best. Another thing, when Rui hesitated to tell Iku about his dream, i'm glad Iku didn't force him to spill. I wish friendships irl worked that way, respecting each other's comfort zones. Seriously this episode was so good.

I did lol at the title of Procella's song "LOLV" but after hearing it. it's pretty catchy. I still prefer the first ED by Kaji Yuki though, that was bouncy and fun to listen to. I can't wait to hear the rest of the EDs and of course more songs from the other groups (i really hope SolidS appear!!)

It was ok... the song is ok too, I like Six Gravity song better.
Good interatcions between characters and thank god he didn't win that race, if so it would be so... non realistic(?) or forced(?) you can't win everything

So far it was good...but rather bland. Their interactions were a bit... unrealistic? It didn't seem like they were that comfortable with each other, but that's probably just me. I found the songs surprisingly catchy, though.

Procellarum members, at first glance seemed normal. However, they were ofc had a hard life too due to the constant amount of busy day they had between being an idol and a nice type of high schooler in the same time, and the same place. Its sometimes became their strain, and its not easy to let it go over their body. Thats what happening on one of their member, Ikkun, by having a double role as an idol and a track athlete at his school. Its surely difficult. However, his idol friends won't let everything became his burden by keep giving him a nice amount of cheer.

Its nice to watched it through this little episode. Somehow, its remind me, how difficult peoples nowadays with that kind of situations. The one that they really needed with those kind of situations was just a pure support from its surrounding, and everything would turned out fine, no matter how bad the result was. Wow, what a solid conclusion over this second episode. I am absolutely satisfied. Lets go to the next group!
