| Wasn’t expecting to laugh so hard with this episode. Truly one of my favorite ones so far. Can’t wait to see B Komachi performing for the first time. |
 |
| I feel you there Aqua, never managed to get over Ai myself after all. Kana's so easy, gave into Aqua really fast. Their collab with Pieyon was something else. Ruby and Kana bashing Aqua for changing personality on screen was hilarious. Also Akane's finally here. |
 |
| Another great episode, Aqua is suspiciously good at acting like a regular high-schooler trying to find a girlfriend |
 |
| Yup, Ruby really wants to prove herself but it looks like some characters like Kana doesn't see her yet as a superstar. It's a delight to see Mem-cho in the show, and given her playful personality, she brings in tons of energy this episode. Seems this was more of a buildup episode that carries more with the character building. It was also nice to see a glimpse of Yuki animated, even if it's just a few moments. Not going to lie, I thought the dance scene this episode was hilarious especially with Pieyon's meme like face and voice. |
 |
| Another great episode, as usual. This anime is a banger, and every episode has been fantastic, pushing the narrative forward and developing the characters. The quality remains top-notch, from the visuals to the music, storytelling, and voice acting. It's refreshing to see such consistency and dedication in an anime. Here we go! Akane and Mem-cho appearance! and best boi Pieyon hahaha. I hope everyone appreciates Akane. She is the most realistic character in this series. Akane best girl. Aqua being a playboy lmao. I can't wait for that one YouTuber (lala) to react to this episode HAHAHAHA. Aqua's inner dialogue is so cool, I can listen to him for hours and never get bored. Pieyon's entrance steals the show, making him the best character. All of the animators are having fun animating the Pieyon part hahaha, They went so hard animating that scene. The attention to detail in this episode is insane, especially with the green screen. The animators want people to use it as a meme. The episode covers various topics like being a YouTuber and an idol, and the risks involved in the entertainment industry. Kana's decision to become an idol is her only option, despite the challenges. Ruby's innocence contrasts with her mother's character. The episode is captivating, showcasing the formation of the idol group and the personal struggles of the characters. Thanks for the meal.  |

| Aqua-kun he is a flattering master. B komachi Revivals!!!! Pieyon pieyon!!! Dance I laughed like a crazy person. Thanks for the laughable meal.  |

| the youtuber girl was cringy af |
 |
| Aqua's face says it all, that reality TV show doesn't look like an easy task. At least Kana will probably be watching him... |

| Ruby and Kana are still not on the best terms but Aqua texts her because he has something important to tell, Kana getting ready but immediately disappointed when seeing Ruby lmao. Ruby asks politely for her to join the idol group but she declines, but Aqua begs for her to join the idol club and so she does. Aqua obviously used his acting skills, lol. Aqua is on a dating show since he agreed on it but in return the dude needs to tell him about Ai. Yuki don't mind kissing Aqua because he is a "quality" guy, alright then. Pieyon shows up to help them out, those scenes though lmao. Interesting episode. |
  |
| Wonder how their Idol group would turn out. Have high hopes for that other youtuber Pieyon. |
| That Pieyon segment was..... something. |
| The Hoshino siblings stumble onto Kana, but instead of her expecting something out of Aqua whom she fancies, it's Ruby that wants to talk to her, which she is being uninteresting to the frustrated sister, whom wants to become an idol together with said freelance actor. But knowing this, Kana will be dropped from her acting gigs if the idol biz doesn't work out, and something about Ai is drawn from Ruby herself, much less Strawberry Productions being a powerhouse agency. And if she doesn't want to join, it's Aqua's convincing that push gave to shove and she signed without a consideration. Aqua in a dating reality show, and of the 6 people, the obvious one would be the fan favourite that is the girlfriend herself: Akane Kurogawa. And despite the sister and the actor having their reservations on the show, it's still reality TV at its core, which means that there're no hard feelings, even though the couple gets close, hang out, get intimate and stuff like that. It's clear that Aqua is still on the trails of his father, and the stepping stone with producer Kaburagi with his know-how is how things operate to earn its audience and the actors themselves fitting with the director since these kinds of shows are non-scripted. To the know-how, Aqua is just using his feelings of their deceased mother to manipulate the media, though he certainly was taken aback by Akane's forwardness. More than Ruby not being fit to ask of who Aqua can date with (even for a shoot), both her and Kana are just laxing and not really preparing for their start in the idol business, though producer Miyako with the load-down of infodump, Strawberry Productions do have the expertise to have people teach amateurs, and one such Onegai Muscle YouTuber Pieyon is a mentor to helping them gain subscribers in a short time...though using his channel to promote them, and it sure got HARD N' FAST with the weird Pieyon Body Dance strength training lols. It's hard being self-proclaimed idols, but this is the first step of many...and using an already affiliated group name like B Komachi, how will the audience react? One thing's for sure, it will be shocking. |

Well everyone has a different girl has their best girl you can expect it but personally I never found her realistic or best let's see how they'll portrayed her in anime coz sometimes characters liked in manga not necessarily gets like in anime. |
| Aqua continues being a bad person. The show continues to have no purpose for the reincarnation or Ruby. |
| I'm not really a big fan of the first half, even though I know it will be important in the long run. The second part with the new B-Komachi tho? I dig that |
 |
| this is aqua first project right? after with kanna? it seem like Akane more interesting than Kanna |
| Finally i can update this episode 😭 The Piyeon scene with green screen is obviously done on purpose. |
 |
| part of me before watching this was there's gotta be some kind of Vtuber /youtuber streamer influencer at some point right as annoying as that would be it makes sense for this show to have one and it has already happened lol... those were some cursed scenes to get through and all i could think of was dumbell anime's themes while not as good still funny to think back to was wondering what kind of dumb 101 to being a streamer they would pull a shitpost of something like Ninja's school to being a streamer could've been fun but yeah i guess collabing with a big one is a easy way to gain some followers Aqua continues to suck more news at 11 |
 |
| that's not much of a respectful first impression on best girl (..Akane), why does she look so plain and funny XD |
| This was hilarious. Ruby looked really happy and like she was having lots of fun though. |
| Finally, OP and ED lyrics. I finally know what they're saying now. And they hit a lot harder with the OP and ED playing. Kana is so cute! Her voice reminds me of Kaguya Shinomiya. Kana is my favorite character in the show (so far). Ruby's new idol group is B Komachi huh. Gonna be hard for her to live up to Ai's legacy. Aqua's new live action reality show is so cringe but in a fun kind of way. |
| This show is great man!! I love the characters, and it’s so funny and CUTE I like both Kana Arima and the chick from the dating show as love interests for Aqua |
 |
| as someone who does fitness, gotta say those exercises they were doing were weak. also im wondering if someone at some point is going to ask "hey that girl who is part of a group called B Komachi has the same weird Ai eyes, could she be related?" |
 |
| 2nd best girl akane is finally here! the revival of B komachi. |
 |
| Bad thing is that our ex-doctor-now-obsessed guy, Aqua, made it clear like the sun: No romantical subplot for him in this show. His love interest was like that Oedipus one, but is gone. Poor Kana, the typical short haired girl who japanese authors love to torture. |

| Interesting girl on the dating show for Aqua to get to know! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
Royalty459 said: Nah I need them to add more of that frLoved this episode but I wish they'd get rid of the underlying/implied incestuous lines like Aqua being an Oedipus (mother complex) and Ruby liking her brother. Like why does every anime has to add this shit. This anime would be amazing without it and adding it just makes the characters worse imo |
|
| Pieyon and the dance scene were easily the best parts of this episode. |
 |
| Wow, this episode was great. I was kinda disappointed with the last episode, in comparison to the manga, but this episode was the opposite. |
| Am I tripping major balls or did I just watch a naked chicken muscle man dance for like two minutes straight |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| As a manga reader, I loooved how the Pieyon dance sequence was adapted. Details like that glorious musical theme they were exercising with can't be heard while reading manga. A great episode, as usual. Light Yagami Aqua Hoshino is plotting as he always does, but without losing the fun factor. Kana is adorable as always, also showing her tsun-tsun side... but my best girl, MEMcho, finally appears <3<3<3<3<3. I subscribed to her YT channel as soon as I saw it. Yes, a REAL YouTube channel, even if I rarely ever watch VTubers (well, she's officially a regular YouTuber). |

| WTF DID I JUST WATCH? I WASN'T PREPARED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT 🤣 I have a big question I've been thinking about since episode 2... why aren't they called Saitou Aqua and Saitou Ruby? They use their surname Hoshino and no one thinks about it? They work for the same agency Ai did, both have her face and eyes, and no one even acknowledges that??? Ruby called her mother Miyako by her name as "Miyako-san" instead of just "mom" in front of Kana yet she didn't even thought about it? (I know that's not uncommon in a work place but still), also Kana straight up thought "this girls reminds me of Ai", yet she, and literally every other person in this universe, just ignore the fact Ruby (and Aqua) share the same Surname me as Ai??? And I doubt they can say something like "we are related to Ai" because everyone they have met was told from the very beginning that they are Miyako's children, her REAL children (not adopted), so they just can come out and lie with something like that, then again is not like they even try to hide it, in school everyone knows it, Kana knows it, even the film director who is friend of Aqua knows it. I know that maybe I'm just thinking about it too much, but pls someone answer me that, this anime is great and all, but that question doesn't let me sleep at night lol PD: Kana best girl ❤️ |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| So Kana agreed to be an idol w/ Ruby because Aqua called her cute although I think Kana thought Aqua was going to confess to her. Regardless, she probably wants to date him at some point down the road. I'm glad that one of Ruby's idol members is someone they both know and should be trust worthy. Later on it was funny how both Ruby and Kana got a little jealous of Aqua being on the dating show. Ruby seems to have a bit of a brother complex herself with her reactions lol. She later tells Aqua he needs to date someone that she'll decide on which, funny enough, was the one girl that Aqua seems to respect, Yuki. Using a famous Youtuber sounds like a great idea but that muscular guy with the mask, Pieyon, did look a little weird but hopefully that exposure pays off for Ruby and Kana. Btw, I'm assuming they will be looking for 2 more girls to join their idol group as just the 2 of them seems too small of a group. |
