| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Rin looks really good imo with that black dress on. The New Generation has hopes and it looks like Mio loves them. I think if the girls stick together and work hard, they will succeed. A decent amount of spotlight of the other girls too from various angles. The show is reaching its climax point now.  |
 |
| Poor Uzuki. It feels like she's gonna crumble like what happened to Haruka in the end of the first IM@S anime. |
| Dat budget saving though. It's seriously fucking annoying. What kind of idol anime does whatever it can to show as few performances as humanely possible? It's pathetic, and makes the lack of much else good even more apparent; at least showing us more performances could distract us from how bad and forced all the drama is. |
| Finally a performance ep. Been waiting for so long |
 |
| that was an amazing performance. Poor Uzuki, im glad she is finally getting her own episode next. |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Well I enjoyed the Performance itself (And how long did we have to wait for one my goodness) But that bonding felt so forced I nearly cringed im sorry to say it and hey flame me if you want for it.. But with all the melodrama the insta perfection again and everything smoothed overk.. When you have 2 originals just ...working as random support staff ? Perhaps they wouldnt begrudge them their show but.. you wouldnt be holding hands and nearly wishing tearful best of lucks either.. sorry that part just bugged me since it felt so forced compared to how chunks of this season have gone on..and the fact that no normal person would likely do it after getting somewhat screwed over in their career.. Just throwing the real humanity side out there. And I wonder if Uzuki is heading for a Haruka route... there isn't much time left for that though.. but she certainly seems like she might be soon - People can get all over Mio (for s1's stuff honestly she really earned it) But Mio in s2 her reaction was to be frank fair - and Uzuki unlike Mio seems to just keep holding everything back while trying to hold a pretty much hiatus'd if not nearly disbanded group 'together' |

Better less but (very) well animated, than 3D shit. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I really wish this anime would just drop the cringeworthy drama already. It's SO bad, I don't even- |

And despite how It will be resolved and likely glossed over- When Rin asked if it was her fault.. in a way yes.. yes it actually is. Though as I said it will be solved and glossed over. |

| The Cinderella Project was doing fine until the stupid hag Mishiro came & screwed everything up. I'm about to put Anastasia & Rin on my shit list. Of course it's your fault Rin. You wanted to go on a new adventure & screw over Mio & Uzuki. I cringed when they did chocolate thing. Way to throw it into Uzuki's face. /Rant for now. |

Uzuki isn't cut out for it if she's sensitive over competition. If you want to be an idol but have no ambition then you'll never get anywhere. Just look at all those unknown girls in AKB48. I do have to say that this anime has a way of unintentionally pissing people off. Maybe it's the way none of the characters' actions and emotions seem to make any sense when you compare them to real human beings. |
| I really hope more for Uzuki's suffering. When Haruka drama in 765 I hope more for Uzuki's drama since this CG is supposedly have more drama. I hope anyone not find any glass slippers early. |
 |
| triad primus > new gen lol just saiyan :P and whats up with shimamu? 0.o does she feel bad for no reason?... sigh |
| triad primus' performance was great, too bad not all of the performances were really animated. an poor uzuki... i had a feeling she was going to break sooner or later though. |
 |
| I liked Triad Primus. Certainly one of the better songs in the series in my opinion. I've been waiting so long for Uzuki to have some kind of relevance. Please. Please, for the love of God, give her a good episode. |
| Amazing performance. But Uzuki... |
| I love the fact that they're using In-game costumes for Triad Primus. <3 |
 Visit this blog That I'm working with my friend http://randomnessthing.com/ |
| Dammit.. I wanted to listen to Ranko's song :-( Ah well, the episode as a whole is pretty cool. Triad Primus is a lot better than I expected and Rin looks smokin' in that outfit. Is there really a need for New Gen anymore? |

| The songs shown are good, little bit of drama here and there but all well :) So now it's Uzuki's turn to feel down :S I love this season more due to the fact that it is more realistic compared to the first season, that is the sole reason why the entertainment value felt higher than the prequel. I welcome any shows like this to put a bit of the 'real' music industry world into it regardless of how nasty it may seem and how despondent the watchers are to it. People can judge the idols to their liking whether it's betrayal, fame, etc but this is a pinch of the real industry. One of the flaws in this series is the forced unnecessary drama that could have definitely been portrayed better. Overall, had the series stuck to the perfect happy go lucky world, it would have received a lower score from me. |

| Rin is officially on my shit list. Big time. I get that the idol industry is tough, but her actions were 100% in the wrong when she betrayed Uzuki and Mio by joining TriPri after she had already turned the offer down. She didn't even consult them before she made up her mind. All she did was guilt them into agreeing. Mio may have been wrong when she blew up last season, but this time, sh was 100% in the right. Now what could have been a great unit with TriPri has been permanently soured for me and I will not support them or Rin. I want them to fall flat on their faces. If Rin had joined Project Krone in the same fashion that Anya did, (having a long talk with Minami and getting her true blessing before doing anything) I could support Rin. But no, she betrayed her friends and screwed over their careers. Long story short, Rin a shit. /end rant |
me-me-me said: I am with you. Actually if they went for the "stop being an idol" route for Uzuki it would be really good. She actually accomplished like everything she wanted to do as an idol... But I don't think they will do it. Most likely it will be the typical - "you are precious for me, let's sing again together" thing. It's stupid, Rin: "is it my fault?", yeah, it is. How do you even ask. I know it wont happen, but Mio and Uzuki should push Rin aside. But to be honest Triad Primus' song was really good. Although that doesn't mean Rin != shit. |
 |
| After I saw the performance of Rin's new unit, it have been proven that : Triad Primus > New Generations Even the song is better! Mio is a shit anyway. Poor Uzuki though, losing her egao at the end. It's about time tbh. I hope they will solve the problem differently at least, but then again, this is iM@S and all... |
 |
| I liked this ep, Triad Primus' performance was nicely done. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| For unity thing between Krone and Cinderella Project, I think its makes sense. The one who they're against its not the girls but Mishiro, so there's no hard feeling to Krone girls to begin with. And you're in friggin' ONE stage and company. Even in backstage, most of Cinderella girls become some kind senior who help the Krone girls. Mio may have hard feelings with Triad Primus, but she's just kind and over-friendly girl to begin with. When things go wrong, she only blame herself so she wont hate Karen or Nao. Go rewatch all of her drama if you didnt notice that. Well I do think that Rin is one of the "cause" of Uzuki's case, but isnt her "fault". Mio can overcome this. That Mio you hate so much, in case. So why bitchin' about how poor Uzuki now because of Rin. Please. Uzuki's case is starting even before Rin said she will try Triad Primus, afaik. And it comes from her feelings inside, and triggered to come out by others. ramenshoujo said: For Uzuki--- er if you dont care about uzuki, i-its fine though :|Is there really a need for New Gen anymore? me-me-me said: Haruka's solution is not coming from only Chihaya though, she healed herself too. But I think Uzuki isnt capable to do that.I would surmise that their main supports / 2nd lead should react in a slightly different way. It's perfect that Chihaya's solution was to gather up the others and unite in practicing for the Christmas concert. I fear that with Rin possibly trying the same tactic, while heartwarming, would not address the issue. A better solution might be for Rin to suggest to P-kun (or even Mishiro) that Uzuki should get her own show, or channel, or something that would highlight her competence. (Or, you know, they could go the other way and convince Uzuki that her idol days have come to an end. Shuddering, but perfectly fine, if you ask me. Would upset a lot of people, sure, but I think it fits the Cinderella storyline well (ie that there are multiple paths for a Cinderella to take, and it may not be the one that is primarily presented in the show).) Bu-but, while I do want Uzuki's suffering more, I dont want the quitting conclusion, it's just hard :| |

| Well it's about time Uzuki will break, she has been forcing herself with I do my best part for quite a while now. That's kind of trigger it when it's announce that Rin will continue TriPri. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| This has been the most Ok episode of this season so far and still it was really boring... This season in general has been a world of boredom to me |
mydespairity said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UIhI0BKotM Episode 23 Teaser, Uzuki Breakdown Episode Tbh So it's finally Uzuki time now, it's not that hard to guess she will be feature last. Not gonna surprise for the upcoming drama. Hope producer will have an important role this time to help Uzuki, rather than Rin & Mio with their "we've been forgetting Uzuki this whole time" or something. well man can only wish. |
| I hope Uzuki dies |

| Knew Uzuki was going to break down sooner or later since the moment, she saw Rin singing well with Nao and Karen and then the proposal of them as a grp just 'accelerated' her fears. Throughout the ep, it shows the idols performing well which makes the audience thinks this is a great idea to have collaboration here and there, and everything will work out fine but I beg to differ. I for one was surprised that the cinderella grp sang goin with the other idols outside the grp- I mean it's not wrong but just felt... Sad(?) that this song which was sang together by the cinderella grp, was sang by others as well... It's like this song is kinda special for the grp; much like a solo song is for that particular char yet it's not the same for another to sing... In a way, it's no longer unique or special for that char or grp... I may be being biased but there r things not meant to 'share' or it will lose its uniqueness... I won't deny that triad primus is great but... To choose between 2 grps... I believe it will be hard(even though in real life, it's normal...) And Rin kept asking whether is it her fault- I think she has a bit of insecure parts in which like most teenagers, fear the future and most of all, due to her personality, don't want to hurt anyone thus asking opinions from others and act based on what ppl said and not what she really think... So when Mio gave the ok and Uzuki 'as well', she decided; if anyone of them did not want, she wouldn't make that step. And then. there's Uzuki. I can relate to her since I tend not to say what I want from just thinking what I said may 'harm' the other party- I think Uzuki herself dislikes the idea of either Rin or Mio leaving the grp yet if she stops them, she feel it's wrong of her(I think her friends leaving the dancing studio before she join the cinderella grp, plays a big part...) And to show she's fine, she uses her smiles and even try to convince herself to work hard when her 'former' teammates r all working hard yet in the end, her plan backfired; not able to smile at ease and even losing the fun part of being an idol... Lastly, the producer. I think I gt a little angry over him supporting Rin in working in triad primus and then allowing Anya to continue solo(felt sad seeing Minami singing alone, wearing love laika outfit...Where's your partner, Minami???) I thought it was just for that Autumn concert and now it's going to continue and nobody see how wrong it is(tbh, in the real world, there's no such thing as sticking together forever but this is anime so... Poor Uzuki has to suffer as a result...) I think Anya telling him of going for new possibles had him forget or miss out the impt things when he started the cinderella project...(I don't blame Anya or anyone cos it's no one's fault but it's simply a problem that is easily overlooked since only one gt hurt without knowing it...) All that left is to wait and see how next ep plays out(hope Rin and Mio will do something...) |

While i agree with you, at same time i don't want Mio and Rin to "help" Uzuki(Yet probability this will be be the default solution). I just hopes than she could overcome this by herself, maybe with producer help. |

All that left is to wait and see how next ep plays out(hope Rin and Mio will do something...) I somehow understand that Triad most likely will continues, but I thought that Anya will stops soloing after this autumn concert, too .... Well, now I dont know what to expect anymore, will Uzuki-- er... or may I say, what will Cinderella Project decided? For now they're in fine situation when they actually had overcome one of hardest obstacle (autumn concert), so the next Triad or solo-Anya's activities shouldnt be big problem for them. The autumn concert is the proof. In terms of time-managing, schedule, and such, they're fine somehow. But now, Uzuki's drama is coming. How much Uzuki's feeling and drama affected Cinderella Project, who knows. Uzuki's solution can be done with 2 ways: Uzuki overcome her feelings and accept the situation somehow, or CP is returned "100%" its state, cause they're realized something important blah blah blah. Or maybe alternative way: somewhere between choices above. Why I said whole CP and not only New Gen? Dunno but it will be weird if Anya stop soloing but Triad continues, or otherwise. It's possible tho... but kind of weird, imo. This choice is quite a big deal, and affected CP as a whole. Kyruga said: Or maybe with Miho and Kyouko's help.I just hopes than she could overcome this by herself, maybe with producer help. I just hope Producer is fine when try to help Uzuki *remember Haruka's drama in 765 imas. |

| Hate Keeps me warm |

skystorms88 said: Seems I'm right to stay away from deremasu discussion on MAL... You and me both. |
| All of the Rin and Anastasia hate going on in these discussions is really unnecessary. Although Minami was the main representative for the Cinderella Project the division was still under scrutiny by that witch Mishiro (or whatever her gd name is). She has definitely proven herself to be a 'It's my way or the high way' type of person so if Rin and Anya refused to join Project Krone she probably would've taken it out on the rest of the division. Plus Rin and Anya have been working harder than the others, they certainly deserved more spotlight. They seem to be 2 more popular girls of Cinderella Girls anywho (excluding Minami and Ranko). Plus you guys act as if Rin and Anya are leaving their previous units WHICH ISN'T the case. Both units activities are on hold so Anya and Minami are still in Love Laika and Rin is still in New Generations. Triad Primus > New Generations If any hate should be given for being 'annoying'/etc it should be Mio since the only person she cares about is herself. |
 |
| Yes, Rin it is your fault. Stop asking the obvious. |

After that came the first discussion Anya had with Minami over the whole theme. Rin made up her mind alone before talking with anyone beside the other Triad Primus girls and told Uzuki and Mio about it before talking with Producer. You can either hate both ways or none at all, but you can't say one did it right and one didn't when in fact they did it almost the same. I think you just dislike Rin for any reason and search more bad things about her that aren't there. |
| This episode was REALLY GOOD. Saved the past few ones that were annoying the hell outta me. First off, the concert was great. I especially loved Minami's and Triad Primus's debuts <<< their performance blew me away. Rin x Uzuki was on-spot. But what really impressed me was Uzuki's troubles. The scene where she saw Producer apologizing, Rin's worried glance, and the Director's frown in a hazy sort of time-stopping manner took my breath away. Followed by Uzuki's realization that she's in this cycle where she isn't going anywhere and it catches up to her face. It was so realistic, interactive, and empathetic in understanding how Uzuki feels at this point. It's moments like these that make me have faith in this series. |
| A+ for concert They did fantastic, especially when covering for Fumika who was feeling down. And then we end with Uzuki, who just can't seem to get any momentum and direction. I wouldn't be surprised if she considers quitting being an idol. I really hope she can turn the tides and surprise everyone with a magical comeback. |
 |
| The song at the start was nice-- Rin's new group is great! The song was very nice too Yes finally Usami's breakdown! Was waiting for it They could do it more feelsy tho. like "Ganbarimasu ganbarimasu ganbarimasu!! are... ganbari... takunai..." or something. |
 |
| Rin's performance was neat, I like the outfit. Uzuki is losing it wtf. |
 |
| All goes well, except Uzuki. The stress has begun to take its toll on Uzuki. I knew it's coming, but still... The suffering behind "ganbarimasu". So painful. |
