THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well this was quite something. I was not expecting the girls to get into a wrestling ring. I mean, idols involved with pro wrestling?

Anything is possible now!

I know I keep asking the same thing with every episode, but what the hell did I watch? Like what was the point? Even if they were pointing out just how bad their character designs are or whatever was going on, I still think this is a terrible parody.

Great episode!! Polar bear, that was payback for what happened in the figures ep...

Wait, was that an "official" explanation of why they cut Yoppi's hair??

Poor Airi ;_; "Airi's always been terrible" turning "every dance into awkward flailing". haha she ate them up. They deserved it :p

Also going from water flea to paramecium is a downgrade...

It is a self-parody of the TV show, that is what makes it so funny. Yoppai claiming that the real problem was that Mayu looked too much like her and this is why she didn't stand out (it wasn't - though now that they mentioned it you can see the point), and Mayu confessing the feelings she should have felt in the show about Airi (but never did, but really probably should have in any real world). And sweet Airi getting her revenge for being the cliched battleground between the two characters (in the show her lack of ability helped to both inflame and resolve Yoppai's inferiority complex towards Maya).

The whole episode was classic, including Airi's stuffed mumbling at the end, and that the mat had rips just like if a shark was circling.

The thing I had liked about WUG was that it started by showing the darker side of the idol business, which is pretty unique in animation (of course it ended with the cliched "everything is really peaches and cream). These shorts have the darkness that I liked about the show originally, and if they ever do do a second season, I hope they recapture. Otherwise what would be the point, Idolmaster and Love Live already have the saccharine "being an idol is great" market cornered.

I don't even know what to say, brah!

Airi wins the match, and she was the ref.

In the awesome words of Mr. Torgue: "WTF IS A REF!?"

"Today's Highlights" is basically the entire episode! I was going to say poor Airi but holy smokes that was some Jaws-tier killer shark feeding, brah. Mayu's comment about Yoppi's hair makes me wonder if that explains the new haircut for the movie. Also gotta love Minami's signature "Tasty, meow" catch phrase.

It mostly turned into a verbal wrestling match until Airi won.
