----------------------------------------
Whoa, a lot of heated emotions running loose this episode. Gotta say..this episode shows how tough an entertainment industry can be when it comes to competition. They really went with some dramatic and unexpected scenes.

Sueharu also does have a kind side when he shows it. He's a decent person after all.

I don't know if it's dumb or not, but it's the idea I was least expecting...
I'm not going to deny that the ads are a bit cringe .-.
Well, I already know that Kuro's amnesia was fake...
I only like this anime because of the characters, because if I think about the plot, it makes me want to kill myself ๐Ÿ˜‚

Halfway through this show and it seems things are moving so quickly now. This episode moved at such an accelerated pace. When the idea for that commercial context was brought up my Maria I figured tat would be like a whole arc not just skipped around till the end. Without us even seeing how the contest went other than whom the winner is. The commercials we saw were nice at least but also super weird. I've never seen a commercial like those, maybe they're just different in Japan. Glad that nothing bad came from the situation Maru put them in at the end of last episode. Badass to spill the wine on that scumbag but could've made trouble. Hopefully he can get Momo away from that horrible agency.

Not gonna lie this episode reminded me of why I sometimes enjoy being absolutely confused about everything.

So Suehara pours wine over the chief and then tetsuhiko gets violent when the other guy question it and threatens them with legal action? Ehhh... don't do that kids.

Then Momo makes a bet with their futures on the line which probably made the most sense out of everything in this episode about the commercial who coincidentally is being made by Shiro's father for a sports drink.

Momo's past was interesting, if not heavily cliched but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles in show biz!

Suehara's first commercial basically plugs their youtube channel and then their second video is a punk rock theme tokyo ghoul rip off song contest - how did taht relate to the sports drink or am I just confused? Was it saying that drinking the sports drink brings back the mysterious child star to the limelight? And their commerical is more of a success>? For a sports drink?

Tetsuhiko is seemingly using suehara to get back at his dad, which both shiro's father and abe work out. Turns out Kuro was faking her amnesia and she also worked out Tetsuhiko's real intentions but plays along.

So basically everyone was one step closer to what they wanted, no real further romantic development, just a lot of confusion and cringey fun and Kuro didn't even try to hide her amnesia at the end?

No matter all that, I still thoroughly enjoyed this episode since it was as bombastically stupid as usual xD

Looks like it was all according to Kuro's keikaku, at least before the last part of the episode.

And of course, you can't have a harem anime set in a school if the MC's childhood friend who's more like a little sister doesn't transfer to the MC's school.

Not gonna lie, those commercials were a bit cringy. LOL. Got to see a little about Momo and Sueharu's past and how he save Momo from the darkness. He's a good guy.

Momo has found her goal once again. She wants to catch up to Sueharu once again and she's impressed with his work. Good to see that. Sueharu's team won at the end there. Tetsuhiko is a good friend to Sueharu as well. At least it looks that way and Kuro's amnesia was as expected fake.

Tetsuhiko's such a chad, he could do what the spineless simp Sueharu couldn't do.

In comes Shirokusa's dad Shouchirou, another big shot in the showbiz business, and despite the crude misgivings of Tetsuhiko's estranged father Hardy Shun, Momosaka's suggestion of a CM competition is easily a win-win resolution that gives both parties amounts of attention, yet easy to do what they want for appeals.

Momosaka's backstory...sounds one and the same (if not familiar) with Shiro about their past with young Sueharu (who was insanely popular at the time). Regardless, doing what you can to support your family member is nice to see, and provides a source of inspiration.

The Ultramarine Alliance's sports drink commercials through their YouTube channel that had its priorities mixed up: the first video almost like a Grand Blue feeling, the second like a much-inferior version of Tokyo Ghoul's Unravel, the disparity of the core theme is insane, yet an easy win. If you register a disconnect, it's most probably fiction and not meant to be taken seriously.

Whenever Abe-senpai shows up on screen, I can only think that he's just a pog on the winding board, and only in name. But going far as to conceal their conditions (Kuroha with amnesia and Tetsuhiko with his revenge hatred), they really help Sueharu to go far and beyond.

The acting harem has gained another member, and this love triangle quadrangle only gets more convoluted. And of course, Sueharu gets played hard by Kuroha's amnesia, he's just dumb.

Dumb but fun(?) episode.

So maria wanting to be saved by that president was just her faking to get into Suhau’s school... that’s evil haha. I swear all of these girls are evil. Shiro wanted to break Suharu by brutally rejectiing him. Kuto DID brutally reject him. And now Maria manipulated him like that.

Love this show though. All girls are really fun to watch, especially shiro and kuro when they get jealus or mad. Gonna be interesting to see what happens next episode now that Kuro’s ”totally not obvious faking to have amnesia” was busted. I just knew she was gonna slip up soon ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well, I guess Sueharu is officially back in the entertainment industry. The ads were a bit confusing; they didn't really promote the sports drink like they were supposed to though. Wow, of course, Momo transfers to Sueharu's school. Kuro finally gets busted for faking her amnesia.

Aight. Forget every other girl, we totally have a new best girl who can not be surpassed: Maria's onee-chan. She really did everything for her little sister, this is real love.

Well...the ads seem way better than YTB adds or those sort but what was the product again or what did it want to promote? See, already forgot it. It was a cool video ngl, but the drink is already forgotten directly

Very strange episode. It all happened so fast.

Basically, everyone is lying apart from Shiro. And her dad seems nice as well. Kuro even predicted the altercation with Shu Hardy that could have ended Haru's career.

They are playing off Kuro's dishonesty as some joke now so her chances of winning are going up.

I still favour Shiro, but I hope Rena is going to make a late bid as well. Although, no one seems to be that fussed about Haru now except Kuro and Maria. Haru as stupid as ever and then suddenly perceptive.

The scumy producer's offer really was hitting the correct weak spots for Kuro. Still things sure got rather heated when he started his insults. Momo's attempt to de escalate the situation sure was timely. Her explanation of the rules for the commercial contest sure was cute. The insight into Momo's backstory sure was interesting. The fact that she and her sister had to run away from home to get a better life really showed just how bad their parents were. In the present its nice that this managed to pay off. The commercial's sure were pretty unique especially the second one. With this the Ultramarine alliance managed to make quite the first impression. Behind the scenes they had quite the safeguard in place though. Kuro though really saw pretty far ahead in her desire to protect Sueharu. Its amusing how Momo was able to so effortlessly slide into Sueharu's school so easily. Still at least all three heroines are now on even grounds. Overall a pretty fun ep that nonetheless proved to be quite the busy one as it served to expand upon both Maria's backstory while fleshing out Tetsu's and showing the clubs first foray as a group. Now that both the alliance is formed and that Momo has joined the school looks like things will be even more hectic for our dear Sueharu.

This was a pretty fun episode.

It was extremely exhilarating to see Haru back in action, and acting again. When I first started watching I thought it was definitely going to be Haru and Shiro together, but now I've been forced to guess.

When are we getting the actual love comedy parts? Who the fuck cares about Sueharu getting back into showbiz?

It's rare for me to say this but this is getting harder and harder to watch, I am not sure I will be able to last 6 more episodes, it's so cringe, almost on the level of Rent a Girlfriend...but that at least has a few redeeming things about it...this is just a mess.

Tetsuhiko is spot on. He and Kuroha were the big winners in this episode thanks to their respective plans. Plus, Kuroha confirmed to him that her amnesia was fake, which almost all of us easily figured out. =P

Still, those commercials that the group did were certainly something. Were they cringe? Obviously, yes, but most commercials on T.V as well as the ads you keep getting on Youtube are much worse than what we saw here, so for that reason, I enjoyed it a lot! XD

I did enjoy Maria's back story. Her older sister had to work hard to support the both of them after they ran away from their parents and Maria felt guilty because of it. Still, Sueharu did help her when they were younger and it still means a lot to her, even now. She did get her way in the end and was able to transfer into the same school as everyone else.

As for Sueharu, he was pretty cool in the commercials, but he's a complete idiot for not figuring out Kuroha's fake amnesia earlier. Her "teehee"" face was cute, though. =3

By far the strangest episode so far, not really sure about that being the resolution.

If Shiro is the one writing those advertisements I’m very concerned.

Liked the ending though, Tetsuohiko explaining why things happened and basically how Kuro fixed her mistake and they kept Sueharu away from the scummy president.

Possibly, but I doubt his father would actually file charges against his son.

This episode was a bit too all over the place. Those commercials didn't even make sense for the product they were supposed to 'promote' but I guess that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. The Momo parts were good, I think that's about it.

I don't know what to make of this show. I haven't watched as much anime as most people on here (yet), so I'm a little more lenient than probably some people and give all kinds of shows the benefit of the doubt.. but this one, so far, has been quite a bore. I'll finish it out regardless, but I can't see it doing anything spectacular in the medium, or even the genre in particular.

Am I the only one who didn't understand how a random music video suddenly helped them win the competition? I mean, the drink was not even featured in the mv! Can someone tell me what happened there cause I'm genuinely confused.
Also starting to really hate Kuro now with her plotting stuff and manipulating the MC. In fact, I hate most of the characters rn. The only ones I like are Shiro and Momo. No clue where things are gonna go now.
The show is still entertaining though and I liked the MV itself so I guess it was not that bad of an episode.

Holy cow! This episode pacing is so hella fast like a thunder. Even they skipped the oped to concluded everything in one freakin episode only. Wth?

So, the fights with the agency president lead them into realizing the channel idea they arranged previously. Somehow they aggreed to do a cm fuckin contest? Its a fuckin mistake, sir!

Somehow Momo got a freakin flashback of her background. They left their parents and forced to lived independently with her older sister only? Ofc Bakaharu become the only light for Momo, and always be starved to his love, foreva!

Haru cm is shown. Ngl, its very a wtf one, had a separating different scenario to their cm, and also got the band too. Ofc the animation wise still not so well at this point. Then, without any corcern about how, and why, not even showing Momo freakin cm, Haru won the contest. Very wtf moment.

Then shit hit fast when Shiro father telling that the scum agency president was actually Kai's father. Surprised much? No. The whole episode was actually a revenge plan of him to his beloved father, and its as expected, cooperating with Kuro, twogether got their goal achieved.

The twist end, with Momo transferring herself to their school. Quit the agency, and the acting and money potential only for Bakaharu? Now its surely can be call as a starved with love. Happy end!

Things got quite spicy after that wine being spilled on the president by Haru. After all that a competition was started to see who can created the better commercial.

Not a fan of what happened for these commercials. All felt incredibly rushed. We didn't see anything of "the making of" said commercials, but since it was a competition, we didn't even get to see Momo's commercial. They did her dirty here... It was just Haru won, that's it.

Obviously the amnesia was fake but I loved that teehee though!

This show is batshit crazy... I like it, lmao. I mean we all like to chill in dumpster fires sometimes right. Damn, no OP and ED, well this was like another conclusion kind of episode for an arc. I guess were going to be seeing Abe and Tetsuhiko reviewing what happened at the end of each arc.

Legit thought Momo's backstory was the commercial lmao, I had to go back since I wasn't fully paying attention to it. The Ultramarine's first commercial is still sort of related to the water brand their promoting but the music video had nothing to do at all with what their promoting lmao. That's some clickbait right there, it looked good though.

Poor Haru, everyone is scheming left and right while he's just there doing his best. Didn't expect Tetsuhiko to be the son of that scumbag President Hardy but it does make sense. Now I do wonder if he actually treats Haru as a friend or just someone he can use. Remember folks, a single teehee can absolve you of all sins.
