| Suzune may have lost all her composure of honest expressions the last episode, but at least all the other girls are concerned for her wellbeing. The whole show hinges on one girl that broke the flow to drag her back as one before she drops out in spoken black and white. Going deeper into Suzune's backstory, and her recovery is nothing short of a miracle. Her parents may be happy that Suzune is given another chance to live, but I'm really wondering who that dead person's heart belongs to. Unsurprisingly, since Selection Project is a reality show, Sumipanda must get as much news scoop as possible while wallowing in pain of the same way of Suzune's condition. Well well, Sumipanda's true identity is that he also used to be an one-off idol who goes by the name of Red-Bean Jun, and an old-fashioned enka one at that for an Ikemen that only remembers his days to embarrassment. Cheer up, Sumipanda! But going back to Suzune, while Rena might not understand where she came from (a bit is enough) and the other girls prepping the Summer performance for her to repeat last episode's beach showing with rallying support from behind, a fan letter a.k.a a Cheerer arrived that's sent to give her some encouragement. Suzune really needs that right now, and reassuring to everyone and her Cheerers fans that she'll perform just as well. Round 2's Summer Song performance is still anyone's game, and all 9 girls did a good beach MV to go onto the FINAL round...which will be a live concert performance but only for 7 girls through an internal vote. It's time to finally get serious after all the introductions, play and fun convenience of the 1st half. |

| The organ donation part was kinda heartwarming with also the letter of that other Suzune sick girl, the song for their 2nd test was also pretty good I like it and they all did great apparently since they all succeeded... eh xD that's kinda annoying how nobody loses but seems like it will be more hardcore because they'll have to vote and kick two girls out of the group of 9, drama incoming for sure. |
 |
| Poor Sumipanda. xD It was sad to see him depressed. Those hospital scenes were very emotional. Great character development for Suzune in this episode. She looked cute in her swimsuit. :)  Oh my... That cliffhanger... |

| It was a heartwarming and very impressive episode. Suzune's problem was solved and I loved the idea that they've modified the swimsuit for her. The final round is a dramatic psychological mind game with an internal vote. In my opinion, the outcome will be either they will not vote for anyone or each of them will vote for themself and the result will be a draw with everyone getting 1 point each. Naked Blue |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Jun was too down compared to the rest, so I bet Jun is the donor family. And on Jun note is sad be relinquished to be a weird mascot with a dirty costume when you are good looking. With the announcement of the final round, I don't doubt that some of the girls regret helping each other over the other rounds. |
 |
| Let me guess what happens next 1. Suzune sends the letter to the donor family 2. Rena receives the letter 3. Turns out Rena's dead sister was an organ donor (makes sense since they showed us that Rena is also an organ donor) and Suzune received the heart 4. A giant truck enters the stage during the final performance, killing everybody 5. Everybody gets isekai-ed to another world called Idoly Pride |
| Good episode, but that song was truly bad though. I can't even express how much I hated it. It's really rare when I hear something this bad in anime. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Eh, I really wasn't feeling any of this cheap drama. It's not a bad show but I'd say it's average. I'd call it fake deep. I think it wants to take itself a lot more seriously than what's there, and I expected something more meaningful as well. Carole & Tuesday had personal drama as well but it was explored more profoundly which is why it didn't feel annoying. This one is exactly like real talent shows in the sense that they're selling it to the cheap seats with the private drama of the contestants instead of really focusing on the talent. In Carole & Tuesday most private drama took place behind the scenes. And I guess I just don't care that much about any of these characters. It just feels like "hey look, we have backstory to fill out this generic idol show plot!" |
 |
| Man this was a beautiful episode. Seeing Suzune read that later from the other Suzune and finally accept that her scar/surgery is something to be proud of was really nice. It was frustrating to see how down she was on herself last week about it. Glad she’s finally embraced her second chance at life. Loved Naked Blue at the end as well! Awesome episode as usual, but that cliffhanger :/ noo |
 |
| game over. Idoly Pride introduced a guy drama episode 1, so I dropped it episode 1. this anime introduced guy drama in an idol show episode 7. So dropping on episode 7, and not buying anything from this - removed Selection Project item from CDJapan shopping cart. Love Live Superstar is 100 times better than this anime. |

| It was a sweet conclusion to these two episodes, even tho I didn't really feel the drama. But next episode should be interesting again. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| They've missed a chance to make this show way more interesting. Legendary. Sumipanda just had to be Koutarou in disguise. -- Anyway. Song is good but if you check swimsuits they wear you will be puzzled. Suzune has one of the most revealing one. I repeat. Girl who supposedly very shy showing skin has one of the most revealing swimsuits. And Koizumi wears T-shirt. What was the problem again? WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? |
| Sumipanda's idol roots discovered, I had a feeling she has worked in the field before After finally smoothing over the Suzu-centric drama, we finally see all 9 girls performing their beach themed song, it was pretty cute And so the plot thickens with the girls having to vote 2 out, wonder who will make it through (or how they'll stop that from happening) |
| Suzune and Nagisa are my favs <3 love both, so cute! |
| I still don't get why it took 2 days to think to give her a swimsuit that would close her scar. I think we call that plot armor? |
 |
| Great episode! Pretty emotional. We also got to find out that the host of the show is actually a woman who was a former ‘idol’. Thing is, I don’t know why the girls pursued the issue of Suzune not wearing a swimsuit in the fist place. It’s none of their business-they wouldn’t have had to upset her then. She also got a letter from a fan who was going through a similar experience to her. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| I really love the songs from Selection Project right from the start. They gave us a new performance of all members "Naked Blue". The animation, details, and visuals were stunning, I love it. The final round?! Sate sate, How can they survive this altogether.. |

| WHAT THEY ALL MADE IT THROUGH AGAIN????? NO FUCKIN WAY!!!!! At least all the twats felts guilty about what they did last time instead of trying to casually brush it off lmao. idk why heart problem-chan had to do the heartfelt (hehehhe) apology rather than them doing it but oh well. The actual song itself was pretty nice (except for the title Naked Blue that just sounded weird af lol) though I kinda wish they stuck with the CGI instead of a few hand drawn dance frames. but if that ending tells anything, is that the toxic bastards are only gonna continue from here. I mean what are the odds everyone's gonna make it through anyway (surprised Pikachu face) but I can only imagine the toxicity that's about to brew hey at least Rival-chan went an entire episode without mentioning rivals (albeit was close to), so proud of her Erotaku_ said: 3. Turns out Rena's dead sister was an organ donor (makes sense since they showed us that Rena is also an organ donor) and Suzune received the heart this shit bout to go full Grisaia |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I think this was resolved in the best way possible. Not too much drama and solid conclusion on giving Suzune a swimsuit not revealing her scar. Speaking about swimsuits, I swear I saw some wearing t-shirts and everything during that song lol. All the girls made it through but I somewhat feel that the people behind the program doesn't like it and they now got to vote each other out??? What the actual hell??? That's a twist I didn't see coming. |
 |
| Suzume is back!!! She's thinking too much of herself, affecting the whole group. She just have to think that someone else is relying on her for inspiration to live on. Much like her to a tragic late idol some years ago. Okay. The two girls have to be voted out. Can't wait on how it will turn out. |
 My main candies:      Bonus Candies:  |
| Ngl I cried like 3 times this episode… wow what a cliffhanger though |
 |
| great episode lol they all made it funny the mascot got the sad drunk side story didnt think they were gonna do anything with them cant not stop thinking about the donor being Renas sister it has to happen right? naked blue while not my favorite song everyone looked so god damn good and it wasn't CGI for once which i mean i could see why everyone looked so different and detailed but plot twist you thought everyone was gonna keep making it through the rounds but now their making them vote each other out the hell is up with that |
 |
| Looks like the creativity of this show just beyond my imagination. I thought they won't touch the same reason behind the heart. But t'was wrong. They used sick cheerers to cleared out problem, which a very surprising way too. Was that cheap? Well, at least its creative enough to mix everything they could thinking of, and make sure its make a sense enough. However, i don't really get why the hell Sumipan matters on these episode. Am i shall care the one behind the costume also an ex idol? The representation of the crew tv knowing the problem but couldn't do shit for them? Once again, they took the creativity of the story beyond my imagination. So, guess its okay. At least the sing performance surprisingly good. Swimsuit choices actually pretty questionable. But as long as its good enough with the animation, and song quality, i think this is still decent enough, beside that whatever plot. Though, the rollercoaster ride still face this show in front. Wth? Final concert by voting people to out? Did they seriously messing up my brain there? If their friendship were strong as an iron, i can't thinking them can kick voting anyone else. But, lets see how its happen next.... |

| Just like that, I really like Sumipanda now lmao. At first she was annoying, but knowing her background removed all that annoyingness. She's just doing her job ya'll. Great episode! This show is definitely becoming one of my favorites this season. Akari is definitely Suzune's donor. If Rena is an organ donor, then Akari is definitely one as well. I can already imagine a heartwarming scene in the future where Rena reads that letter, can't wait. The other Suzune in the hospital was so heartwarming though, I really loved that scene. Really loved the Naked Blue performance, they all looked so cute and I loved the montage. Glasses Nagisa is still very dangerous for the heart. Damn, just when they all became great friends, the studio makes them vote who gets to stay. Reality shows ain't playing. I do hope they all get to perform, I am too attached to all of them now. It wouldn't be complete if they weren't all there. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I did not expect Sumipan and Sally of all people to get character focus, Nor an Idol anime with an organ donation subplot, really going at the genre in a unique direction. Though to tell the truth, I think the fact that Suzume ended up doing the swimsuit performance with her scar obscured sort of fell against the point of the arc. Her embracing it and leaving it exposed would have felt much more impactful. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Well atleast they didn't drag suzus useless drama for another ep. I really thought the performance and votes would go on for 1 more ep. Good it didn't. Seeing the actual swimsuits the girls were wearing made this whole charade seem wasteful. Suzu might as well have worn a school swimsuit. |
| Glad that it got resolved through talking and a costume compromise. Guess a little drama is needed before coming to that solution? The panda's identity has been revealed. Considering not many know who he is in the idol world, he could take that off, right? That letter was a nice touch to get Suzune back on her feet. Especially since the girl is dealing with a similar case: being in the hospital, looking up to her favorite idol. I almost didn't recognize Shiori since she usually has her hair up that look like cat ears(?). That letter came in fast. Guess we're in for a reveal next time. Another round swept with no contestants going home. How many rounds are there going to be? Maybe 1 or 2 rounds? Unless they want to make them a group. µ's II anyone? ... or not. Holy cheeseballs O_O 2 gotta go and the girls have to decide who?! |

| Kinda glad the episode went this way, and it didn't drag it out. Not that the heart thing is bad, but more that it would've come off as an Idoly pride knock off if it used it for way longer. But I'm hype for next week, the type of drama, that I can be curious about. |
| That ending was some Gordon Ramsay show where he had the chefs pick whom gets kicked out from the team lol, I was expecting some girls getting eliminated via lowest *Yell* but not them choosing whom gets the boot, and we instantly get 2 of them out too. Anyways I was not a fan of the song, that was horrible, but the visuals were nice, I thought we would be getting full on CGI for the performances, seeing actual animation for the performance was great, hoped we got that in B.B, albeit the CGI in B.B was already good as it was. Drama got resolved pretty quick which is a good thing, this shit just made me want to cheer for Suzune to win more and more. Anywho cannot wait to see whom gets kicked out next week, please let it be the silver haired bitch. Tho the new visual was lowkey foreshadowing the oldest of the girls and the youngest getting kicked since 2 of them were already sitting but who knows. |
  |
| NAKED BLUE WAS SO GOOOOOD. wish they'd shown more of the choreograph fully, since im pretty fond of learning them :D anddd yeah basically confirmed that none of them are getting eliminated and they're gonna form a group together. probably the most suitable ending for this show tho |
| Finally a great song again after BB by SuzuRena, was actually getting kinda annoyed with the lack good songs after the first 2 or 3 episodes. I liked the part where they showed a bit of the mascot guy's true self as it does a lot in portraying how he also has feelings as a human, not just a mascot entertainer. The final round is going to drop 2 characters, but the deciding factor for the dropout makes me skeptical about it. I am predicting each character will vote themselves out so that nobody actually ends up dropping out due to the tie. |
 |
| Atleast that whole situation around Suzune got a closure. But wait what's with that cliffhanger, them voting two of them out?? |
 |
| "Everything will be alright" reminding me of NiziU a certain idol group. As expected, we resolve this rather easily. Although I kind of wish we got more shots of Suzune in the altered bikini. Pretty cool that she got center and ending fairy shot though P.S. So it seems almost 90% possible she got Akari's heart-- but I was wondering will she actually be able to mail off her letter? Or was it just purely an exercise? IIRC Japan also has laws that prevent people from contacting their donor's family. Oh god, seems like we're going to go through the "betrayal episode". Without a doubt it will be Suzune and Rena, unless they pull the cheesy ol' "we refuse to go down together". They're the highest contenders; but maybe we'll pull a Twicesurvival show asstrick and pull them out via audience request. geptor said: Song is good but if you check swimsuits they wear you will be puzzled. Suzune has one of the most revealing one. I repeat. Girl who supposedly very shy showing skin has one of the most revealing swimsuits. And Koizumi wears T-shirt. What was the problem again? WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? Now that you mention it, most if not all of them didn't even wear the outfits they tried on. Wtf. |

| props to Suzune's fans, she gives encouragement to Suzune. Glad to see they all passed the second selection, however, the next selection must be 7 people... |
 |
| "Must be a tough decision, but its none of our business." It certainly seemed like your business last episode, where did all that spunk go? Nonetheless, the hospital girl's letter was really nice. So was the song. After that after-credits scene, there must be a loser. No way they still somehow all stay. |

Girl who supposedly very shy showing skin has one of the most revealing swimsuits. And Koizumi wears T-shirt. What was the problem again? WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? It was always exclusively about the chest scar. They resolved that by covering it up. Which should have been an easy non-drama filled solution, but hey. Very surprised they're going the exact route as Idoly Pride with the heart, 2 girls, one dead sister, other rival gets the girls heart. |
 |
| Suzune is back on her feet after a letter from another Suzune girl in the hospital. I feel bad for the sick girl, because its the same situation as her when she was very young. It was also nice of the girls to care for her, and are not cold blooded. They start to really care for each other. |
