Heh, so Tae does want to make up for happened since the cultural festival.

Personally, I think this episode shows more of her true personality and more than just the leader of Poppin'Party. Anyways, Saaya definitely did deserve an apology. Cool performance this episode too. Very catchy song.

Roselia OP and ED. :)

Rinko and Tae apologizing to each other was gold. xD

I thought it was nice that Tae decided to quit RAS after what happened but I kinda expected that after watching the live, Poppipa might feel it's better for Tae to continue with RAS but it's ultimately Tae's decision.

The girls of Poppin'Party looked so sad and worried about what happened with Tae, besides seeing that Tae is the one who most crying makes me think of the repentance that she must feel.
Rokka is very popular after her spectacular show at the school festival, but she is very concerned about her favorite band that is going through a very sad crisis.
The situation feels so uncomfortable, the girls do not know how to talk to Tae, at least Arisa, Rimi and Kasumi make it clear that they are not angry with her, but finally it is Saaya that leaves me more calm, she seems to have been very worried by Tae.
The cycle of apologies of Tae and Rinko was so cute and funny
Poppin'Party apologizes to all the girls who helped that day, including the members of Roselia.
The visit to Rokka to thank her was so lovely, Rokka all embarrassed because Poppin'Party told her how great she was when playing that guitar solo.
The RAS girls are very happy for their success at their concert, but Tae arrives to talk to CHU2 about her resignation as the guitarist and the small producer is enraged to hear Tae's reasons for leaving, in the end Layer takes her friend and they talk about what happened, finally Layer asks her friend to come back with Poppin'Party.
The flashback of Layer was so cute, loli Tae and Layer look so lovely in their first meeting and the scene where they say goodbye was very moving, even Masking was moved by the story of Layer, it seems that the rebellious girl has a sensitive heart.
It's the day of the concert and the girls from Poppin'Party meet Maaya and Eve at the concert, I love how Maaya knows everything about Layer and Masking, both girls have a reputation for being the best.
The production of the RAS concert is spectacular, the sound, the lighting and the visual work left me astonished and of their music I have nothing to complain about.
Tae announces her retirement from the band, but we see how Kasumi listens to all the support that Tae has, but in the end Tae says goodbye to her friend Layer in front of all the fans.
I felt bad for the girls in Poppin'Party, they all looked very sad after seeing Tae on stage and how amazing she sounded, the worst thing is that CHU2 arrives with Pareo and asks the girls to let Tae leave Poppin'Party.
Apparently Poppin'Party crisis is not over yet, what will happen to the band now that they know the true potential of Tae being part of RAS.

CHU2 is the worst character in this franchise. I hate all about her. The worst is to make Popipa break! This episode makes me hate RAS more.


Come on Tae, speak and shout your feelings to all Popipa members! Don't let that bitch CHU2 manipulate you!

I hope in season 3 there is no CHU2 and co. Anymore. Just focus on the 5 main bands please.

Let us just hope that Kasumi's attitude will parry popipa's devastation on how cool Tae is on that stage, I only just hope that or we are the one that might be on their devastating state as well lol

There's not a lot I can say about PoppiPa given the show is putting their emotions on its sleeve. I'm expecting PoppiPa will wonder if Tae should stay with RAS, but I suspect she's already made her choice

Speaking of Raise-A-Suilen. Layer and Masking must have a lot of patience to deal with Chiyu Tamade. This girl and her resources have created a band out of spite toward Yukina, by accident or on purpose she treats everyone around her as a means to an end, and at one point in the episode there's a burst of desperation from her to keep Tae in RAS (thank goodness the others reminded her Tae only ever signed up as a support guitarist)

The way BanG Dream! has introduced Raise-A-Suilen has been nothing if not bold, but they are going to be the 6th band eventually. It'll be one thing to see how Rokka figures into this, but more interesting is how they'll handle Chiyu's turnaround. When she realizes or regrets treating everyone as tools. And maybe some deeper insight into her character

The thing is. It will be really difficult to buy this as RAS' origin story if Chiyu keeps treating everyone the way she has been. That their non-binding highschool-age amateur (amateur as in career-wise, not as an insult) band can maintain longevity despite the lack of camaraderie. Once Tae leaves, it's just Layer and Masking on speaking terms and that's it; neither of them seem keen to talk to Chiyu while Pareo just seems to be a family servant

None of this, however, commentates on the penmanship to the show's script. These are deliberate dichotomies. The question is how all the disparities unify into something that can believably stick

Until then. I'm not calling Chiyu Tamade by her stage name

P.S.: The fact Arisa just restrained herself with clenched fists really gets to me. She normally pops off quite readily when she gets flustered or angry. So. To see her like this brings a greater seriousness to it

It was nice to see Tae's initiative to apologize immediately. Not only to her fellow band members but also to everyone who helped them buy time (Rinko, Hina, Aya, Rokka, Roselia).

Yukina's response was as flat as usual but glad she didn't make any harsh comment to PoPiPa, as she realized the real reason behind Tae's no-show.

Tae and Rinko's neverending apology was so gold, by the way xD

And for Tae to finally decide that she must focus to PoPiPa only. CHU2's rage was so childish but also true, tho (about being half-assed; but sorry, Tae wasn't your full-time guitarist to begin with lol).

My respect for Tae Hanazono is restored.

Agreed. Tae had already made her choice to leave RAS. But now, the problem lies with Kasumi and. co who might feel that Tae is better off with RAS to utilize her full potential. I really hope Tae will boldly say NO to PoPiPa's (desperate) suggestion in the next episode.

And yes, by making the game's story moves forward to Kasumi and co. second year in high school, the chance of RAS included in the game is higher than ever now.

RAS' appearance in the anime may serve as some kind of publicity. But oofie, CHU2's actions so far are making it into a bad publicity instead.

CHU2 is pretty messed up so far. Straight up a supervillain who goes snatching a member from another band. Doubt we may see much redeeming points from her in the anime (due to limited screentime, and it's not an anime about RAS anyway). Tho, I'd like to believe CHU2 isn't all about an arrogant kiddo. Might see her positive traits in RAS manga and (hopefully) Bandori game.

I’m not sure how much more of this show I can take. I mainly came to see Poppin’Party level up but every band that plays seems like Poppin’Party should just quit bc there like middle school group competing against pros bc of how new Kasumi is. Also this Tae situation just seems so overly dramatic and I try to tell myself the real Poppin’Party still had Tae character in band last time I checked so this is all made up by if she does leave again I’m so over this show. I’d rather watch K’On for music anime again than this.

To be honest, PoPiPa needs this kind of development. Since they are formed, there's no real conflict within the band. They need to grow up and begin to take their band more, more, seriously.

I was kinda hoping that there will be another song after they performed R.I.O.T. since I feel one song is way too short for a self sponsored live (and I kinda wanted more hehe).

The "choreography" (the way they move when performing) for RAS is really nice to watch, both in the anime and their IRL band. There's a lot of energy into it, and I really like that. Feels intriguing and amusing to watch.

I kinda half expect that Otae will tear up a little bit in reference of Sae (Otae's seiyuu) thanking her fans/band as a support guitarist during her time in RAS. (I'll linked the video in the spoiler tag, you can skip to around 0:50)



I'm really amazed at how much this franchise tries to reference and relate many similarities with their characters' seiyuu IRL events, traits and situation etc.

I'm probably gonna get hated for (based on the comments I see around here) but personally I feel that

(spoiler tag for those who still don't know RAS full official members, which I'm sure everyone knows. xD But, just in case~)

Well, based from what I'm seeing I see three outcomes: A) Otae stays with Popping Party. B) She decides to stay with RAS to get more experience for a "while longer", but her hiatus from PoPiPa would effectively mean she leaves them at least for this cour. C) Clean sever, she goes for RAS, and it's GG with PoPiPa.

Either way, I'm fine as long as we get this "resolved" by the next episode and it doesn't drag on. Anything but outcome A would kill off the character of Otae for me, but plot things I guess lol

Well, just checked the Wiki, and I see what's "probably" gonna happen. I mean, even from just watching the anime alone the thought of that possibility did cross my mind. Oh well, we'll see how things go.

There's wikis that have lyrics. It's more common these days for official subs to not have subbed OP/ED/insert songs, idk where you got the "the only anime of all time" thing. Revue Starlight also did not have subs for songs.

I liked how it showed all the PoPiPa members during the night and what they were thinking.

Good to see them all get back to normal the next morning pretty quickly like that.

That was quite the performance Raise A Suilen had, I really liked that song.

CHU2 want Tae lol, I already know where this will end up going because I looked at their band on the bandori wiki a while back but I will still enjoy the episode as much as I can.

From the first time I saw CHU2, I already dislike her but not to the extend I hate her.. Never got any good impression about her and now she try to break popipa by telling popipa to hand over otae. She is really disgusting, she literally saying otae was too good for your band, she belongs to us RAS.

This episode was totally worth it. I've been waiting for RIOT since it dropped in GBP and RAS was confirmed a band in this season, and it was absolutely worth it. Story and whatnot aside, that song sequence was totally badass. I loved it!

The story's getting good, too. I can see RAS bleeding into Season 3, with the final member joining being the finale of this season.

So everything's solved nicely and gets stirred up at the end again

Raise a suilen is pretty crazy tho with this set up (3 keyboards lmao), their performance and style
I like it tho

Definitely don't like CHU2's personality tho.. There's so little information too.. Is she young? Is she 'old'(-er)? Is she rich? The whole character is kind of exaggerated and feels so forced in.. Ye I just can't like her
And I don't want to see O-Tae not in PoPiPa

Riot was epic, and concert style fit perfectly. Finally lyrics subbed helps make sense of the songs & plot revelance so much. Tae understands she's wrong & makes amends, but Chiyu's just being insufferable trash personality.

Pretty amazing performance by RAS. That song RIOT was great.

CHU2 vibing through the whole song was the best moment of the episode. I think she is the most interesting character this season besides Rokka.
