Damn that was a well played plan, didn't think it would go that way.

Behold of my awesomeness~

This is so exciting, loved how they first tried to steal all the Azalea's likes with the fake QR code and now trying everything to stop them, Kabe was also nice with his rap for this situation xD now I wonder where it is going, but I hope that they'll win!

Using Azalea's publicity stunt is quite sneaky, that's what we like about our boy Kongming.

100 million yen for 100k likes? That's like $10 per like. I can't imagine that this is the best option for this.

Kaiba so savage... so true. Konming is a genius

MegamiRem said:
Azalea's version of underworld is better.
That's a pretty underhanded tactic but well whatever works I guess. Looking forward to hearing Eiko singing.

I'm going to flatly disagree. Nanami's voice was crackling, the sound not as pure or radiant. Aiko in that song was clearly the better performance. Yes Azalea had more facade flash going on, but what was behind it, which is the point of this episode, IMO.

I get some people don't get the rapper inclusion. I"m not a rap fan either, but I can appreciate the way he speaks truth to power in rhythm that really does take talent.

btw Kongming pointing out the exact location where Azalea were show up could be not what you think. You may think its just his tactical genius at play, but it could be that he chose that spot specifically because of how easy it would be to find, and when word broke out of where they were, Azalea would have to show up there. In otherwords, it could be Kongming didn't predict he forced them to fight on ground of his own choosing. A Classic move for a great tactician.

Although with the way this show has gone, I'm waiting for the hilarity of finding out someone that's a fan of Nanami's and heard them sing in the street earlier, did this to help nanami, and leaked the place for them to konming.

Eitherway its genius..

Btw I'll say that like others this is an anime that should have booked an hour back to back for the finale. the suspense for the last episode is killing me.

And for those saying Azalea was better. You know the background music was played, not with instruments in hand. Strike 1. Hrad to know then if the singing really was or not in the performance with how it was scripted. However, even if you want to assume it was or wasn't, its easy to imagine them doing just that.

Compare that to Aiko is a a very new raw amateur. Did she lipsync too? No way, she sounded completely different than nanami. Which means, with fewer performances her singing feels more authentic, although ripping off that song as a cover is kind of meh. Not sure if that fly here in the US with Copyright laws etc.

Be thankful for those you have near who are dear
For time is not always kind to those who would be on your mind
Seize the day, some exclaim, but that which is past, no more shall have its day.

Karasawa hitting the guy for asking why Azalea are tuning their instruments shows that he does want to love what he does, but has become jaded by the industry. Poor thing...

I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

NGL, I want Azalea and their shady producer to win. I found them to be way more interesting than Eiko and gang. Nanami's way more interesting being stuck in a position where she's unhappy, but successful. She also has to think about the success of her band members which is why she can't quit, and she can't really deny that her producer is producing results, and can't really be mad at him since she is going along with it. Despite the producer being shady, he is doing exactly what he promised, and getting results. While the tactic he uses to get likes maybe shady, he is ponying up 100M yen ($1M) to make it happen, despite the show making him look evil, that's a pretty darn admirable and generous investment.

Meanwhile Eiko just sings, and tries to sing better by finding herself. Rapper guy tries to find his game again. Kongming handles everything, and effortlessly works miracles. TBH, they're kind of boring. I don't really feel anything for them, especially rapper dude.

Finally, a song in this anime that I like. Underworld came out great, and I especially like the Azalea version.

Wow that was a scary trick! I mean they for sure would be sued..by Azalea manager and never pay it out...
And Kongming on top of 109? I don't think it is possible to enter there..

I spotted some animation problems like there is no entrace to Azale stage truck and the girls were in that small van.. how did they enter there if the truck was on the move and just the manager got out of the truck?

anyway are the Azalea fans stupid? they are just dancing, the tho other girls were supposed to be playing that music? how they can play drums and guitar if they are dancing?:D that is obvious fake any fan would be displeased of.. they are just dancers now.. and it is obvious that Minami is not singing as it is not possible with such strong physical movements..

"the enigma is that enigmas are more mysterious" what a bad text..

another thing is that there are merely 500-2000 ppl.. where from the 100 000 likes?

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

The battle for 100k likes is closing in, Kongming's second phase is a little underhanded taking shots at Azalea using Kabe. 98k likes vs 70k likes

Interest stacks

Well, I don't know, I think that trying to buy likes is still more "honorable" than trying to steal them like this.

Also poor Nanami, she told her secret to Eiko, and she used it to attack her, Kabe's rap was all about how Azalea are fakes,.split personality, how they use maks to hide the real selves, it was a direct attack to Nanami, I think that more of being ashamed of all of this, she should feel sad and mad as fuck at Eiko.

Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.
