| This episode went by so fast that I actually got annoyed when it ended lmao. But wow, this was exciting and amazing like usual. Each week, it's getting easier and easier to say that Paripi Koumei is probably my favorite of the season. It'll be sad seeing this come to an end |
 |
| This was so good, I'm itching to watch next episode so much AAAAAAAA. There is something about this anime that I can't get enough of, the ending and cliffhangers of this anime hurt just as much or even more than that of SnK and others and I'm not even kidding. Just one more episode left though :/ I hope we get a Season 2 announcement soon. Using Azalea's campaign to get likes was a little cheap but brilliant lmao, I mean 70k likes is no joke. Next episode should be great as well, it will finally be decided who gets to perform at the fest. 5/5 episode. |
 |
| Ohhhhh ggoooooddd... This episode has tons of HYPE!, i am still so hyped! The QR code on Eiko's side is their Paripi Koumei anime website and the QR code on Azalea's side is their Paripi Koumei Twitter page. |

| Fantastic episode. Check out my reaction/review here: https://youtu.be/bN4wLbAXhmM |
   |
| The glimpses of Nanami's house reveal its complete dullness. So they don't even get paid that well? "What's the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don't even pay you well for it?"(c) lmao |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| This episode was so intense and epic. Best episode so far and i can't wait for the finale... |
| Eiko's new song and the decisive battle starts next episode! Ugh... I'm still hoping for Eiko and Nanami to perform together. Azalea shall end up unmasked and the girls will actually enjoy performing, instead of doing it solely for the money. |
| Not sure I liked that strategy how underhanded it was but I guess there wasn’t really other options like tampering with Azalea’s audio equipment to switch tracks mid song to expose the lip syncing instead of using a lie. Kimurah said: This episode was dumb AF. Azalea's strategy for getting likes it's ridiculous, throwing money at their fans and wannabes for likes. Just a regular and planned event would had easily gathered them enough likes based on how absurdly popular they are. The whole goose hunt in Shibuya (one of the most congested blocks in Japan) is totally dumb even for anime terms. Imagine unleashing 100000 people without a a clear target of where they wanna go in such a crowded area, stampede like moves would had been created, along with complete vehicular shutdowns. Konming plan is even more farfetched, they somehow knew the exact place where Azalea would place their truck along preemtively knowing the whole strategy of buying people for likes. Even with their superhacka, they didn't show any evidence he got the leaks or how did he manage to get this info that probably only Azalea's manager knew of. And obviously they are going for the "power of a song" to make Azalea turn their backs on their own agent. I dunno, I think even shows with magical girls and guys with supernatural powers feels more grounded and believeable at this moment. Azalea's manager is quite a hypocrite, he told the girls to forget about their instruments, but smacked one of the setup staff guys for mocking them on the same instructions he gave them when they allegedly were climbing the ranks in their early days. I assume Azalea may be only locally popular like in the city or something which isn’t that big of a following as a whole thus the need for dirty tricks to grow their fame. I don’t think the exact location was known. The manager just decided to have Azalea appear where the crowd already was gathering. |

| The best episode so far despite the way the strategy is being handled is quite missing some polish to it, the performance was fun and engaging though it could be better if they kinda get rid of the rainbow-ish though the premise of this series is already wacky, so that's just a personal pet peeve. Also need the full version of Azalea's song because it was thrilling. |
| Wow Underworld, that was a good song. Kongming with his brilliant Strategy once again... You love to see how it got executed. Kabe Taijin diss Azalea was so Amazing. Season Finale with Eiko singing Dreamers, I can't wait for next week!! |
 |
| What in the actual fuck, I swear that was just 3 minutes. That moment when you're getting dissed, but it was actually pretty fire. Kabe's diss track was great. Kongming the madlad really scouted Kabe for the team, just so he can roast the enemies. It would be nice to have an official Eiko and Kabe song though eventually. With that said, season 2 please. Kongming was really standing on top of the Shibuya 109 building like a menace lmao. Both sides definitely had some scummy tactics, but to think, Kongming probably had an even more scummier plan, but put it in the shelf for Eiko's sake. I am craving for that final version of Dream, but I can't believe we only have one episode left, what the hell, they better go out with a bang. Also, Underworld is a banger song. |
 |
| huge episode, next week is gonna be even more of a blast also koumei be like:  |
| Waiting for this episode was long enough already. Now I gotta wait another week? The show got me with a good cliffhanger, damn. When the manager guy said they were gonna buy likes for Azalea I thought they meant they'd buy bots to like their post. Lmao. What they're doing is still scummy though. I'm surprised this action isn't banned in this competition. What doesn't make sense is how fast they're reaching 100k likes. After Azalea got 97k the game should be over. Realistically, at that rate they'd easily get 3k more likes even after being "exposed" as another "fake" Azalea (as Kongming's plan goes). And it'd happen before EIKO sings her song to earn 30k more likes which is 10 times more than what Azalea needs... Only one episode left. Regardless of what happens, I'm sure it's gonna be a banger. |

| I rarely ever say this, but this episode flew by so damn quickly! XD Kongming's strategy to combat Azalea's plan was dirty and devious and I absolutely loved it. He took the initiative to get a big head start with Eiko performing one of Azalea's own songs as part of the plan before Azalea themselves arrived at Shibuya. Now I can see why Kongming scouted out Kabe as his diss track aimed at Azalea was brutal, but brilliant. He did so well to ad-lib his way through the track, despite the heckling he was getting from the crowd. I was expecting Eiko to sing her new song in this episode, but that'll have to wait for the finale next week. I can't wait! =D |
| Great performances! Time to unmask Azalea so that Nanamin can stop with the facade and sing how she wants to |
 |
damn who knew Koumei had baby legs |
|
| the show became fucking epic rap battles of history and this ruins my experience. kabetaijin was a mistake |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| Bruh Nanami was asking for the impossible when she said 'Don't look at me' lmao Aaaa let's see how this show ends! |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I don't know man, what they did was clever but kinda scummy, if all the people are gonna do next episode is listen to Eiko's singing and magically start cheering for her this is gonna be stupid, realistically once people have a bad impression about you they won't give you a second chance easily. Also is this the extent of why Kabe's stupid rap was important for the plan? Did they turn the middle of this show into a cringe fest just to piss off the crowd?! Also also wouldn't Azalea have the right to sue them? They straight up used their name! |
| Wonderful episode, the dynamic between Eiko and Nanami is getting stronger and the most awaited battle is beginning, can't wait for the next episode |
 |
| I liked the look on Azalea's manager when he saw those likes cutting off |

| Nanami and Azalea might win but Nanami will concede to Eiko for being genuine since it's clear that she's tormented with all the corporate bullshit. Nanami is also on stage with Eiko in the ED. Nanami is probably pretty based. |
Yes I tried. They really worked. One is for the anime website, and the other is for the Twitter Account :D |
| ok using a rapper to roast Azalea does make sense i guess but NGL i kinda wish we had more Kongming screentime, he just makes the show better also hope the nerd gets to meet Eiko before the end, he has helped a lot an deserves some props |
 |
| the most intense episode as of yet! maybe ep 12 would be beyond this ep! can't wait for it!!! let the clash begin!!! 5/5. |
 |
| nooooooooooo give me the next episode now. |
| I screamed when the episode ended, you can't end it there! Lol I was at the edge of my seat the whole time! Just one more episode, I'm so sad this is ending, if they don't announce a second season I will cry! I love this show so much! |
 |
| It surprised me that Eiko’s Superfan is voiced by Tanjiro’s VA :D |
 |
| Singing competitor's song in public? There's gotta be copyright violation somewhere. |
| I think the last episode will be very interesting, let's show Nanami her true identity |

| Dang! the battle of this episode went into information warfare. (-⊙ω⊙-) Kabe insinuated to the crowd that the Azalea were fake, as well as provoking Azalea to reveal their true self. The real battle will begin once Azalea reveal themselves. As usual Koumei's strategy is flowing well, but it seems like Koumei got worried about Eiko and Nanami's friendship, with the use of his alienation stratagem. (⌣́_⌣̀) Eiko's version of Underworld is good, but Azalea's version is a lot better. Well, fair enough, since it's their song. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It reminds me of BABYMETAL. \m/_(>_<)_\m/ |

 Never watched as much anime as I wanted to |
| Yeah that's how you fool those idol worshippers lol. Also just no way Azalea could win this bet, will waste away the whole purpose of showing those girls being a victim of these new standards of music industry. Expecting a conclusive finale though. |

royalnobody said: because Kongming doesn't have to know? what, is Azalea just not going to take advantage of a massive crowd gathered around a fake Azalea and expose them for being fakes? Their plan is to park side by side to diss and confront Azalea along with stealing their audience. Of course they needed to know exactly where Azalae would end up in their own event. They are navigating a huge ass truck with fragile equipment throught a congested part of the city that conveniently is emptied and surrounded by fog that completely reduces visibility. Your statement about Azalea unmasking Eiko and their group makes no sense in what I stated in my whole post. We're talking about preemtive knowledge of thier location, Azalea doesn't even know they were being targeted by Eiko and Konming. ivanip said: Kimurah said: This episode was dumb AF. Imagine unleashing 100000 people without a a clear target of where they wanna go in such a crowded area, stampede like moves would had been created, along with complete vehicular shutdowns. You don't need 100000 people on street. People tweet and retweet. People retweet. But they need "something" to retweet. Being there to actually experience the music it's a whole different thing than sharing some picture of the actual event. The fans who are not there also need the QR code to vote for Azalea. It feels contrived that the fans that actually spent time going to location to scan the code and have a chance of winning some cash would share the very same QR so others not there would get a shot at getting the money. That's contrived writing just asking the gullible to buy a farfetched plan. |
