| The long-awaited performance... How will it turn out? After the live performance, Himari decides it's time to give an answer to Yori's confession. Meanwhile, Himari and Yori go on a date to find accessories for Yori to wear on stage. Himari puts a charm on Yori's earrings, a gift from her, to calm her nerves. In this irreplaceable moment, Yori can't help but smile and hope that this wouldn't be their last date. And then, the curtain rises on the SSGIRLS live performance. Those are some seriously long legs. Now this is what a true date should be like. I really appreciate how they use Yori's song about love to help her realize that the feelings she's been having are actually about being in love with someone. Sure, it got dragged out, and any real person would have figured it out sooner, but at least it wasn’t some nonsense where she’s still uncertain. They’re finally together, so now let the true yuri begin... is what I’d like to say, but it seems we've got some drama brewing. Oh well, we have to keep the plot moving somehow. |

| I really liked all the cute moments between them Himari and Yori, especially when they were shopping. And they are finally together. <3 But obviously, things aren't going to stay all happy and fluffy forever. Great performance. The girls did a good job. I'm interested to learn more about Shiho. The upcoming episode will be spicy for sure. |

| What a magnificent performance from Yori it was such a beautiful song. That ending though was tense can't wait to see how it pans out. |
| Well, that was super cute, glad to see them finally dating! We got lots of adorable moments between their 'date' before the concert, the concert itself and Himari's answer, plus their very first steps as a couple :) On the other hand, that new girl sure seems mean to everyone in the band, let's see where it goes in the next episodes! |
| With this episode they adapted the last of volume 3 as I predicted and a small portion of volume 4. I really liked the way they handled the confession and I was completely correct I my theory of episode 6 being the confession. Now for the next 6 episodes/3 volumes will develop their relationship and the story with Shiho and her band. (although I highly doubt the entire story will be adapted) It was exciting to see Shiho at the end it gave a little preview into her dynamic with SSgirls. I'm excited to see more of her in the future episodes. I'm surprisingly getting used to her Va, it suits her surprisingly well. |
| Episode 6 and they are already dating, neat. Of course there's always a girl who has to stir things up, show can kinda use some spice. |
| Ngl kinda hard to go back to this after an amazing Yorukura episode.. but here we go. Yori and Himari date was really cute, don’t blame Himari for getting all excited with Yori in a mini skirt, she looked great. Tons of cute moments with them leading up to Yori’s first live with her new band. Performance was really nice and I love how it served as a confirmation of Yori’s love for Himari. “ That first smile stole my heart away I don’t want to be one of the people you love, I want to be your one and only.” Powerful enough performance to rid Himari of all the confusion she had with her feelings and make her realise this is proper romance she’s feeling. The confession after the performance was so cute and Mizuguchi actually handled it a lot better than I thought. Had to be so hard for her knowing in her heart that performance was dedicated to Himari and that Yori would say yes. Still, physically and emotionally supporting her best friend. “You really are my number one friend” 😭 would’ve broken a lot of people to get best friend zoned that hard, but true love isn’t selfish or possessive, so fair play to Mizuguchi for putting Yori’s feelings over her own. Who would’ve thought Himari would be the one to deliver the first after school rooftop kiss, lol. She’s getting bolder. I like how they’re all confused about what to do now that they’re dating and then realise they’ve basically been doing couple stuff the whole time 😂. I’m excited for Shiho in this story, I know a lot of people been hyping her up so I’m looking forward to how she interacts with the cast. This story needs some spice and drama so hopefully she can bring that to keep things interesting |

| Well, we didn’t get that 10 minute Sunny Spot but it was still a very nice concert, glad they saved the budget for that, I could watch Mari destroy those drums all day lol. I will say tho, I kinda wish they wouldn’t have had Yori monologue over her song, because I was looking forward to hearing it and seeing those lyrics she worked on but it was kinda hard with her talking over it, still loved the scene tho. And this did lead to Yori and Kino becoming an actual couple, very nice to see just 6 episodes in, it was a cute confession scene, now I’m looking forward to the two of them doing things as a couple even if they were mostly doing the same thing as usual near the end of this episode, I did really like Kino instigating that kiss tho, I need more of that lol, maybe she’ll eventually work her way up to the mouth. And poor Aki, things went perfectly but she’s still hurting from it, and Yori even went and said she’s her number 1 friend right after lol, but it seems it made her feel better instead of doing the opposite thankfully. And lastly we got teased on some upcoming drama between bands when Shiho talked some big shit about her new three piece band, perhaps this will lead to an epic jam battle or something, probably not but I can dream lol, I look forward to what comes next all the same. |
| wooo we're officially dating now. whats with that girl's aggression? is she just a "im doing x seriously and you are not thus i am better" -character? hope not. the visual quality has taken a huge hit though.... |

| Sensing the drama brewing. Agreed some spice is needed. |
| Sunny Spot was really cute, I'm glad they pulled that scene and song off so well. |
| Perhaps I am alone in this sentiment, but they really dropped the ball this episode. This has been a very literal adaptation so far, which is normally a good thing in that they are cutting little to no content from the manga, but in doing so they're completely missing opportunities to take creative license and enhance scenes to work in anime form better. For a manga, of course they can't convey music very well. At best they can show the performance, and maybe some lyrics or inner monologue. That is what the manga did, and it works for that format. The problem arises when we're in an adaptation that is this literal, resulting in them lifting everything in chapter 15 and tossing it right in as-is with some animation on top. As a result, they actually end up draining the scene of any emotion or rising climax. As we've seen up until now, their relationship is built on a foundation of music. This entire scenario in fact is centered around the song that Yori wrote directly for Himari to hear, with the purpose of showing Himari just how deeply she feels for her. So why in the world do we instead watch a flashback slideshow with Yori monologuing over it, while the very song that is facilitating this entire scene is relegated to the background where we can barely to take it in? The lyrics are supposed to speak for themselves. There is zero need for dialogue or a recap of the path their relationship has taken; that has already been established in preceding episodes. What it needs to be showing is Yori connecting to Himari through her music, and showing her how much she loves her through the warmth of her lyrics. The lyrics are the dialogue. Their relationship started through music, and it is now culminating through music (also literally in the song choice; the band's opening song is the same one from the start of the anime, and the next one shown is Sunny Spot, the current point in the anime). It would be a very moving scene to see everything 'click' in this way, and it would give more impetus behind Himari immediately running up to the stage right after the song to express how she feels to Yori. As it currently is, that build-up of emotion during the song is missing. I think this is the problem I have been feeling with this show most of this season. It is faithful to the source, but it is not adapting for the medium. It is a romance anime, yes, but it is also a music anime. They need to take better advantage of the fact that they have the full effect of music and animation at their disposal. |

| Pfft, what a fucking wank scene right at the end there, hilarious. |
| I can relate to Yori's observation that despite she's now officially dating Himari, they're doing virtually the same things that they've been doing since they started hanging out. When you finally date a person you've been friends with for sometime, it can just be second nature to simply just simply settle for your regular routine that you've been comfortable with doing alongside your romantic partner. That being said, that purple haired girl at the end is going to stir up some drama.... |
| I think Shiho is gonna be bringing the spice and I think she's gonna be very interesting NGL, especially the animosity she has for Yori lol. |

My one critique is I am so over stories where someone has to lose. This show being one of the worst I have seen with it, like they barely let them getting together breathe before making it sad and showing the friend all dejected. I don't know why so many romance authors think a character has to exist solely to lose. If it's a fight and one person loses awesome, but a lot of romance has a character with less then zero chance who doesn't even try and literally only exist to be sad.
| @isseixkoneko Yeah, definitely. Love polygons can be great, but it's utter trash in this show. One of my pet peeve writing tropes tbh, what you just explained. |
| Long live Yuri! Long live the brides! I'm not sure what to think of Shiho. I didn't like him that badly, but he didn't make a good first impression. I guess it has something to do with Aki. Maybe she was in love with Aki, and upon discovering that Aki is in love with Yori, she left the band. Speaking of Aki, I'm a little sad for her. She puts the happiness of her crush above her own, even though he may end up hurting her. |
 |
| Oh my, Aki has been friendzoned :c. As for that ending... well, we have the shoujo ai, now we'll have a rival band. Let the idol anime begin! |

| A couple formed but another drama in progress.... |
 |
| I'm glad that it didn't take them a whole season to get together, now we can get to some more lovey dovey moments. |
| So the story will now focus on some rivalry I don't think it actually needed, though on the other hand they had to come up with something because the two girls getting together and lovey-dovey dried up the even the shallow drama we have had until now. |

| Himari and Yori finally together. Things gonna be spicy in upcoming episode ig as it seems we've got some drama cooking up 👀 |
 |
| Great episode and that song she wrote was spectacular too, Its nice that Himari finally realized her feelings and they started going out. So that was their fomer band mate huh and I'm guessing that she's also Aki's ex too she's kind of a bitch. |
| Was wondering when the ex-band member was gonna show up to cause drama, at least she won’t turn out to be a ‘love rival’ like I feared (I hope) since the ship has sailed. |
| Yori was incredibly adorable which is what you usually expect from Kino as she's the younger one and all that. But she was surprisingly mature. Can't wait for next week epispde |
| Girlfriend relationship established, now it's time for rival band drama. Purple haired girl was kind of an aggressive witch. |
| Hey! Episode 6 confession! Glad this series didn't beat around the bush. I appreciate getting into the relationship quick and easy. I love how straightforward both of the characters can be; I am not a big fan of misunderstanding tropes so knowing the characters communicate well is a relief. |

| Woohoo! The post-concert scene was really good. Also, Sunny Spot sounded great. Was really looking forward to hearing it. Of course, I wish we could have just listened to the song without the monologue on top of it. Could have been handled way better. You know, since the song was already an expression of her feelings. Yokohama Lab screwing that up was not surprising though. Oh well, the scene was still really nice and I can just wait for the song to be released. Super excited for best girl Shiho going forward. She is already bringing out the claws! |
 |
| Anime only viewer, but it seems they want to rush a bit to reach a certain endpoint at the end of the season, huh? Can't wait to find out what that'll be! |
 |
| While I think if someone's having a crush they should confess even if they will be rejected in order to finally move on, Aki did the right choice here: imagine you're waiting for your crush to give you a reply and suddenly your best friend drops you the bomb on the same day, before the response. That would have made the day chaotic to say the least. |
 |
| That date in the beginning was really adorable. I guess now that they’re official, they’ll have a lot more of those cute moments together. I feel bad for Aki but I do respect the fact she backed off last minute from saying anything. I think she knew she never had a chance. Himari and Yori have something special. I guess she’s no. 1 friend so there’s that, though that might actually hurt as much as if she had been rejected. Looking forward to seeing Yori and the girls take on Izumi and her group. Things might get kind of ugly. Her and Aki definitely have some kind of personal beef… |
| The tears that fell were proof of their love. Himari has found her love which of course falls on Yori. From now on, there was no reason they wouldn't be together. And also after this Aki can also be relieved now. After that, Shiho said she was a former member of the band. I want to know more and why she doesn't seem to like Yori.  |

| I WAS HAPPY...UNTIL THE END AND NOW I'M ANNOYED Betting on Shiho being in love with Aki and is now bitter because she found out somehow that Aki loves Yori. |
 |
| It was inevitable but I'm glad that is over for now. Hopefully Aki doesn't change her mind. Love how quick Kaori closed that door. Wonder if she was trying to protect Mari or something. Shiho seems to be a real fire starter. On a random note, I'm a bit curious what Yori did with her acoustic guitar that she played their last song with and why she switched back to her electric one. |
| I like it overall but the visuals are underwhelming. Their faces are off every other minute, and using the cheap fadeout during the all important live scene is a huge sin |
| By episode 6 the visuals quality had gotten really bad. The anime looks very bad and cheap. Its really sad that this project have such low budget. |
