----------------------------------------
Tae is the type of selfless person who would help anyone tbh.

Poppin'Party is still doing fine so I'm not worried about them. The group Tae is helping has some characters with tough personalities though. Luckily, she also has the support of her friends especially from Kasumi.

Great episode as always.

Looks like RAS's passion rubbed of on Tae after hearing their song and now she wants to try playing with them to see how she can improve.

Hina picking a fitting theme for the song in seconds was hilarious. XD

The mixed band rehearsal was obviously the best part of the episode, I hope we get more stuff like that often.
That Ran pout in the audience was so adorable, she totally wanted to be the one performing. <3 XD

Looks like there might be some complication with Tae joining RAS in the next episode but I'm sure Tae will pull through for Poppipa. xD
Roselia opening for next episode?

Kinda know that this approach will occur once upon a time from long time ago. Seems like the only member that doesn't have any problem in the first season was Tae. Even Saaya knows the guilty feeling when she left her old band to join popipa. But damn I didn't actually think that it would be this painful to watch this ends and I have to wait one week... this is bad for my health..

The preparations for the school festival are still ongoing and the girls of Poppin'Party have a lot of work, but Tae makes the decision to join RAS as a support to improve and to play with her friend Layer.
Tae scared me when she talked about Layer's band, for a moment I thought she would say that she would leave Poppin'Party, but luckily it was not like that, although Saya worried me with her look, I hope she didn´t think something bad.
The festival band seems to have a bit of trouble composing songs, seen they playing different styles of music, but Hina manages to give them clues to write, I also love to hear how the composers of the different bands create the songs, Misaki gave me a Little bit of pitty, she has to work with the chaos of Hello, Happy World ! members and their crazies ideas.
I loved the song of the festival band, they achieved a good rhythm and the lyrics were fun, I also loved seeing all their bandmates in the audience, Ran and her pout face was very cute, it seems that someone was a little jealous to see her friends having fun.
Apparently Chu2 already finished the arrangements to debut with RAS, but not all is good news, apparently the first concert of RAS will be the same day she played with Poppin'Party in the school festival, the only thing I can expect is that Tae take the right decision and do not disappoint herr friends of Poppin'Party.
The only bad thing about this episode is there was only one appearance of Rokka, we need more spotlight for the cute and shy Rokka, who is still looking for partners to form a band.

I loved the direction of this episode. Kasumi talking with Yukina cutting between Lisa talking to Rokka, really stunning there. I also loved using the High School Part Time Workers' song as a sort of foil to Tae/Lay. I'm not too familiar with their song (as it's not in GBP WW yet kek), but I really enjoyed it. This was a great episode, I'm excited to see what's next. Also, we got like 5 seconds of RIOT, I hope they play it at least once this season. It's killer.

Tae needs to settle down a bit, xshe is working herself a bit too hard and will burn herself out if she keeps going at such a rapid pace.

Pretty good performance by the makeshift band, everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Raise A Suilen is a good proposition but I'm sure Tae will stick with Poppin'Party, she won't abandon her friends.

This episode was quite entertaining. So far one of my favourite episodes of this season.
And wow I finally understand what this weird name (RAISE A SUILEN) is supposed to mean.

Another forced drama coming up, just watching the preview I was bored to my bones. Don't think I'll be watching S3 at this rate.

Some anime viewers criticize how this is just some advertising show and also criticize the CG which makes some viewers drop this show and never speak of it again. Its really a shame that the first episode didn't execute that well because later on in the episodes its started to get good, well some. I started to like Tae as a character since the last bad season she was just... there.
This season this show is started to have some life to it, but hope the next few episodes doesn't dissapoint me.
