| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Glad they're giving screen time for Kasumi and Rokka. The two can build an important relationship together. As far as the show's pacing, I feel like it slowed down a little in order to build Poppin Party's future. They got a lot of competition ahead of them after all. |

| Good episode again. I love the part where Arisa tells Rinko that Yukina is a strong persona and then Sayo comes in and says she's more than that. xD A fair amount of focus on Rokka this time which I kinda was not expecting given the title of this episode. We surprisingly got a full version of Sparkling Dreaming Girls which I also did not expect, not complaining though. Love that song. That said I thought this was episode was gonna be how they end up making that song but I guess that wasn't the case. I wish there was more visual to the Sparkling Dreaming Girls performance, I think they kinda showed the band and Rokka a little too much before cutting to her flashback. Yukina being a total savage again and outright denying the headphone girl, Roselia - RAS rivalry imminent? Love the ED, the first shot of Poppipa in school with Kasumi stretching her hand out towards the sky is so Love Live I couldn't help but chuckle. XD ED song is nice. :) |
 |
| Sigh. As much as I love this series now that the Cat Producer motives have been shown the plot is pretty much known now. |
| Honestly, Yukina is a bitch but Sayo is an even bigger bitch |
| This was a good episode. Episode 1 had me worrying what we were in store for, episode 2 really picked up the pace, and this episode kept that train going. It kinda suffered from the touch of forced drama from last episode, but it wasn't that bad. I was digging it. Sing Girls is one of my favorites, glad the whole thing came through. Another thing I'm digging is Rokka, because holy cow, I'm loving her character and her backstory. (Rehearsing what you're gonna say by writing it on your phone, honestly same.) ChuChu is certainly... a character. Her English was surprisingly good, and after looking into it, her VA Tsumugi Risa is skilled in English, so that's nice. I wonder if I could get away with calling her ChuuNi. HaroHapi next episode?! I'm sure glad, because this means that the band cameos weren't one-and-done in episode 1, meaning we'll get a few episodes centered around each band. And, if I'm guessing correctly, we'll get each episode title's full song as we have been. Which is great, I love Phantom Thief! Completely irrelevant, but I do believe this is my first time seeing an iPhone in anime *ever*. Just a neat detail.  gib Afterglow |

| I understand correctly, they built the whole season on the interaction among girls from all groups at once? Honestly, I like the dynamic of the relationship between Kasumi and Arisa, but PP is the least interesting group for me in the franchise. |
 |
| This is kind of really better than what I expected. March Band girls next episode! |
| Not related to the ep itself, but I just checked the seiyuus for RaS girls and, apparently, both vocalist and drummer currently play in some relatively famous visual key band, while Rokka's seiyuu is the formar guitarist of the Sketchbook band (anyone who watched Sket Dance should remember that guys). |
 |
| Rock is a hardworking MVP, i'm rooting for her. |
 |
| I assume the plot would go like: Poppin' Party interacts with other bands one by one, learning about others and finding what they are missing, i guess? This along with Rokka forming her band This episode alone is nice one, it gives Popipa more time, along with Rokka. A bit slower in pace is healthy for future development |
| Ah I just can't stop loving the BanG Dream! franchise. Also since next episode seems that will be HHW centered I can just wonder how they will do it with Afterglow, since if I remember correctly Tsugu's seiyuu hasn't returned to japan yet. |

| Ah! Yukina to turn down a record producer like that was very inappropriate, some may call it cocky but I get where she's coming from. Rokka is such hard working girl, I hope we get to her see more often in the show. |

| I really like Rokka a lot. What a qt. |
| This episode felt less like Punch and Judy, thanks to the fine characterisation through flashbacks of Rokka. Was going to say "hope it stays that way" but since we're embarking on a producer drama, nothing is less certain. |
 |
| Rokka was so full of memories and went emotional she cried! I hope she gets into a band that would rise-up in the ranks! Rokka is definitely precious as well! Damn no Roselia performance!? BOO! and also boo their high and mighty attitude, at least all their song are awesome...that's the only plus...lolz 4/5. |

| I feel like this season will be: 40% RAS forming 30% PoPiPa development 10% Roselia involvement on both bands above 20% other bands cameo Lol XD Either way... I'm not too fond of Rokka somehow, but I hope it'll change later. And even if it didn't, I'll still give a 100/10 points for the next episode all because of HHW XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| I guess Rock soon will find a band |
 |
| This is looking so good! Help please. Dose someone know the song at the end of the episode? When the loli producer is rejected. I´ll love you if you can help me. |

| Wow xd I expected something in this direction but not the producer to be that... unforgiving? xd Rock is such a cite character haha xd I like the 2D arts of her |

| Rokka crying during the private PoPiPa concert was so heartwarming and touching |
 |
| have developed respect for Rock after seeing this episode. Cute moment when she went to the shop accompanied by her grandpa to buy a guitar. And she works so hard too.. Roselia group angered a producer.. I guess they are in a bit of trouble. Although it's funny when producer set upright the garbage can again. xD |
| Rokka is so awesome. <3 |

| I thought we weren’t gonna hear Sing Girls after last season. I had come across the song after hearing it on Osu and it made me check out this anime. Easily my favourite tune and I’m glad we got a full one here. |
