| This episode had a depressing mood cast over it but I'm glad the group is keeping their spirit high. Trying to keep JELEE's reputation alive is inspiring. Kimura's determination was noticable although she sung out of tune lol. It's time to overcome that fear! |
 |
| HIDIVE is saying this won't come out until next week....but they've screwed up this show's release before Edit: and just like that, it's up now...an hour late |
| Mahiru and Kano's disagreement causes JELEE to go on hiatus. Now that Mahiru is preoccupied with Yukine's project, Mei and Kiui vow to watch over the place they will return to, doing everything to maintain JELEE's presence. While distributing tissues as part of those activities, Mei encounters Sun-Do's Mello and instinctively calls out to her. Meanwhile, Kiui goes to see Miiko to see what she can do. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Man, the group is in disarray, drama's everywhere you look ... random sexual assaults in the broad daylight on the streets, stalker behaviour overload. But will the power of friendship win at the end. Also the cafe lady manager needs new employees ... like now. |

| Hands down one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a very long time. I just don’t know where to start with this one. I’m done fighting the recency bias tho, this show’s going in my top 5 all time. First of all, shoutout to Kiui and Mei for filling in for Kano’s cafe shifts. Real ass friends, sadly they’re retarded and were awful fits for the job 💀 Mei over here freaking out because the customers ordered a “kiss” and Kiui too socially awkward to take orders lmao. Kano taking some time to be by herself and find out why she wants to sing is valid. After basically being put on this career path as a way to please her mom and then that whole fall out, she hasn’t really had time to sit and sort it out. I still feel so bad for her breakdown last week. Mahiru up to 100k followers herself now.. good for her ig.. still a snake for last week’s stuff 🤷🏾♂️ We finally get to see present day Mero.. ngl man she fine as hell. Love girls who dress like her. Mei stalking her at the cafe window and karaoke had me crying tho. There’s no way you should be this good at hunting people down 😭 she’s like one of them idol stalkers who check the reflection in idols’ eyes on their posts to find them. Was kinda important that she did that though because Mero told her about how she and Kano were singing for Yukine’s sake. Shame on the losers talking shit about Kano in class. Don’t blame her for walking out at all. Can’t escape the drama at home or at school, gotta feel suffocating. Mei waiting outside Kano’s apartment for her “friend” not her “idol” was a great scene. Set up Kano coming clean about how she’d “used” Mahiru for her gain as well. The problem I have with this tho is it’s nowhere near what her mom was doing with she and the other girls. Also, even with that, it still don’t make what Mahiru was doing last week ok. Like sure, they’re both flawed people but one person is clearly more wrong here. Again, doesn’t mean Mahiru is a horrible person. Just don’t fw what she did at all with going behind Kano and working with Yukine 🤷🏾♂️ FORGET ALL THAT THO. The end of this episode was magnificent, sensational, whatever synonym you wanna use I was shaken to the core. Mei is the real MVP of this series rn. I know she a lil slow but she has a heart of gold and literally saved JELEE and Kano with her horrible singing lmaoo. But it reached her idol and that’s all that matters. PLUS “you have to take responsibility for making me fall in love with you” oh my god I LOVE YURI. Amazing episode I’m shook. |

| Show's continuing to be way too forced and over-the-top for my liking with this, been only getting weaker and weaker for me with each passing episode that the drama's more corny somehow than saddening to watch. |
| Shizue making a return was nice, though to think she would turn out to be a mukbang YouTuber, lol. And Mei being a stalker... nothing new, though the faces that Mero was making were funny as hell. I really like how this episode focused more on the hardships and feelings of Kano. I would have expected them to just develop Kano's character, but it's great to see how much Mei has developed as well. And it looks like Kano's got her own little harem lol, with Mahiru and Mei. Though now it looks like it's time for a Kiwi centered episode. |
 |
| Mei, you absolute unit, good job! Now I have 5% confidence the anime won't end up as a total dumpsterfire as opposed to 1%. Can the power of friendship pull through? |
This episode is a roller coaster ride for sure. Mei voice clears all, simply can’t be match. |
| Good on Mei to keep the group together, I just hope Kano and Mahiru can patch things up with each other. |
| After last episode melodrama, I thought the first half of this episode was actually decent, then in the second half it turn into another episode with forced drama. |
My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.” |
| 5:21 From Wikipedia: "Yang Yuhuan (Chinese: 楊玉環; 719 – 15 July 756), often known as Yang Guifei (楊貴妃, with Guifei being the highest rank for imperial consorts during her time), and known briefly by the Taoist nun name Taizhen (太真), was the beloved consort of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang during his later years. She is known as one of the Four Beauties of ancient China.". I'm interested in how Mei learned about this lol. 6:19 メロメロ (meromero) - "madly in love; head over heels; fanatically doting; spellbound". So that's where her idol name comes from. 6:54 Lol I love this. 9:03 Hmmmmm I've seen this somewhere before... Mei absolute legend. Respect to the seiyuu, that sounded beautiful in a way. I guess the stuff with Kano is kind of resolved now. I thought the remaining 2 episodes will focus on the group as a whole, but seems like the next one will be Kiui-focused. Oh goddddd I'm not ready for this. |

| huh... The expectations I had for this episode were completely different from what happened, to think they would continue the heavy talk from last episode scene with a light comedy. What a weird choice... was a little disappointed tbh |
 |
| Unless they somehow fumble the last two episodes this is like easiest anime of the season ever. I cannot believe how good this show has been every single week. |
| I'm already missing the days when episodes of this weren't so awkwardly heavy. And that too happening towards the end of its course isn't helping much either. |

While this melodramatic storytelling is painful as is already, I'm so sick and tired of how they introduce a big issue at the start of the episode and it's either mostly resolved by the end or doesn't matter anymore. There's just no depth to the story. It's melodrama over depth.
| @YourAverageHater current issue has been going on since 2 eps ago, far from revolved (according to the author will only get resolved on the last ep). |
| Show's gotten worse and worse. This was painful to watch, not because of how emotional it was but how melodramatic, forced and mishandled this all was. Made Mahiru's character and decision looking really bad with how dysfunctional the whole thing is ending up being and Kano already was on some BS the last ep too. If this turns into a corny, happy ending with all performing together and 'friendship winning' with all these drama stuff being rushed and even more meaningless by end, this would be dreadful af. |
| Mei you've done a great job, I've always hated how Mei acts but after this episode I think yeah like what you do and do what you like. My god, I should want to defend Mahiru but the longer it goes on, the more I can't defend her. Different from what I thought would happen in this episode, but at least I can see Mei trying her best to look after their JELEE. Post credit scene Nox reveals who she really is and someone DMs Kiui and demeans her, the drama increases. I hope that all the drama that will happen in the future is not rushed and resolved well.  |
| Watching Mei crying and singing made me emotional but great job girl, your feelings reached her. Jelee's back! But looks like it's Kiui's turn to face her past. |
 |
| Another melodramatic episode. Last few episode's drama are so forced, it feels like it's trying too hard to make you emotional lol. Now, I'm questioning myself. Was this series always this melodramatic? Idk I think, I need to rewatch the series again before the last episode to confirm it. I thought the first few episodes drama were average to decent level. But it's getting worse and worse. It's such a shame because the visuals and OST are too good. |

| First of all, that performance at the end was the best "bad performance" you could ask for. Mei carries this show so hard it's crazy. This show is in a weird spot for me right now because while this episode in particular was quite frankly, excellent, but I don't know if this dramatic route was the best way for this show to go. It could have kept it at just creating music, but it's going deeper into the drama and it has me concerned now with just two episodes left. I'm pretty certain that this show will have a somewhat happy ending, but some of the decisions from the story just have me a bit baffled, and it's hard to put into words right now. I'll have to see how this ends before I can solidify my opinion. |
| Her singing being awful, and how she won't ever sing was reinforced so many times over the series that it made the moment all the more powerful. |
| Mei the undisputed MVP of the episode. Zwilicht said: With every episode I hate Mahiru a little more. Mahiru did nothing wrong my dude! Kano confessed she was using Mahiru (albeit inadvertently, I believe); meanwhile, Mahiru took once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be more useful to Jelee in the future! It's not like Mahiru used Jelee to become famous and is ditching everyone for selfish reasons! I don't know why some people imagined Mahiru broke a promise or is a traitor when it's literally the opposite! There was never a promise about making a song before the end of the year. Kano never explained why it's so crucial for her, nor did she explain why Mahiru shouldn't trust her mom etc. Instead of explaining things to Mahiru, she threw a tantrum and said something she didn't mean to say. There's a reason why the two other members were fine with Mahiru's decision and didn't protest or call her a traitor. None of them saw why "year-end song" absolutely had to happen and could not be delayed. The only selfish person, as it turned out, was Kano who wants to impress mom; a goal that likely changed at the end of the episode. |
| Have to really give credit to both Kimura and Kiui for acting as golden stewards of the group in its desperate dying hours which were set to be its final hours before the last minute course aversion, saved out of nowhere by Kimura's Hail Mary vocal plea bearing all. Especially because Yoru/Mahiru and Kano weren't going to do anything to save it at that point in time, being too busy/distracted (Yoru) or despondent (Kano) and when you think about it, these two (Kimura and Kiui) were not the original "core" of the JELEE group, but kind of additions which came later on, making their determination to keep it going and salvage it all the more impressive and inspirational. In Kimura's case there is a long-running and well-established personal motivation at play, with her love for Kano's music and Kano herself dating back to before JELEE even existed, but in Kiui's case the motive to me seems even a little more selfless or perhaps unclear. Either out of her friendship with and loyalty to Yoru (not that she's not friends with the other two, but I assume is still closer to Yoru as they've known each other a lot longer, going back years) or because she feels like the JELEE group actually did provide her a place to belong even though she at first didn't want to show up and participate offline in person at all. Or maybe a combination of those. A number of people complaining about the drama, but I like it, but then, drama is one of my favorite genres, so I guess that's a factor. In a way I also liked the situation with the earlier episodes of the series where there were also sad moments, arguments, tension and drama, but it didn't dominate the runtime and tone of the whole episode and much of it was more laid back Slice of Life about discovering yourself, forming the group, making pretty music and drawn art, and finding new confidence, where you could mostly just enjoy it for some cute and funny lines and relaxing scenes while admiring the colorful and high quality art/animation and direction of this series. And leave the heavier messier character drama for Girls Band Cry. But now that this series is wading into the thick of it more and more in its second half I don't mind it. It just means it can't fulfill the role as my go-to comfy and cozy series of the week (tough to do when it's going for gut-wrenching turmoil) and need another one to serve in that placement. |

| Mei saved JELEE! Looks like we are back to resolving another issue for Kiui/Nox in the next episode (even though I thought we had wrapped up her issues pretty nicely previously). I guess we will only have JELEE back together in the last episode for that new song + illustration + MV at the end of the (in-universe) year... The anime always had some melodramatic and over-the-top scenes here and there, so I just see it as part of the anime's...identity(?) |
| Crazy how a single episode made Mei go from my least favourite to favourite character, I still love Yoru but idk Mei really shined this episode. And what kiwi said was complete bs, Just cause Kano is the leader doesn't means she has the final say in whether the group disbands everyone should get an opinion and I'm glad Mei voiced hers at the end. side note but does Mei full on love Kano? Like i thought it was in an idol type of way but idk now with how she acted. Either way this was a phenomenal episode and i now love Mei. |
| People saying how this made them tear up . that singing scene was pure comedy, lmao I actually laughed. yh, I do agree the show is a tad too melodramatic |

I dunno maybe the episode you're commenting on has an answer for you already.  |

RaionShurui said: @Marinate1016 I don't understand this part: Marinate1016 said: She didn't go behind her back though? She was clear and honest about how she got the offer, she wanted to check out the offer, and after checking it out she wanted to go for it.Just don’t fw what she did at all with going behind Kano and working with Yukine I'm definitely a supporter of "if you make a promise you should keep it" and choosing one thing over another isn't a great idea when that choice was taken weeks ago. At the same time I fully respect the choice she made considering 1. She didn't give false hope and say she could do both but was upfront with the fact that taking on the job meant she couldn't help make the song by new-year. 2. As was mentioned in the previous episode this was a great opportunity for Mahiru. Watching every episode up to this point she'd never once received proper or even reasonable feedback for her art. It was either "I love it" or "who's this girl thinking she can draw". When she showed the picture to Kano and she said it was awesome but she felt it wasn't that great because the arm wasn't properly drawn yet Kano didn't understand it and said it was great anyways, but she then went to the meeting with her mom where not only did she notice the issue she also complimented her ability to fix it. Clear difference between a professional and an amateour. I definitely don't want to work with someone who drops me for someone else, but again, I can understand dropping amateour workers for professional ones, "temporarily" to improve yourself and gain some very valuable experience. So I agree what she did wasn't okay, but it was still reasonable. I don't think she's a snake for it because, no she did not go behind Kano's back. But that doesn't change the fact that she went back on her promise. She did go behind her back because she’d already agreed to work with Yukine prior to telling or even talking to Kano. The call with Kano was just to let her know and get the guilt off her consciousness. She was locked in to the agreement already. I’m not debating this again tho, argued with mfs all weekend in the last episode thread so if you want more info as to why she was moving snakey, read that. |

| @Asuno This promise is worthless if Jelee separates, after finding out that Kano no longer wanted to sing or knowing about Jelee's separation, she didn't pursue it, didn't send a message, didn't do anything, Mahiru in these last episodes is being a disappointment total, especially since Jelee is taking this seriously, not just joking, so for her to abandon all the planning with them to go and see what the experience of working with "professionals" is like is ridiculous, her promise is worthless if Jelee separates herself due to her action, she is important in the group, knowing that her actions would affect the group as a whole before making any decision, the least she should have done was to have spoken to the group BEFORE accepting, and not after which I had already accepted, the anime showed that Kano cannot count on Mahiru, Mahiru is trying to deceive herself by saying that it is "for the promise" but it is just for more fame |
| The whiplash between the really comedic part and the super heavy part is too much, as was the change in attitudes of the characters. Their entire being seems to depend on such a flimsy impulse. I though this episode was a bit of disaster |
| Mei was doing the Bocchi lol |
