There was a lot good in this episode, but handling of the Ayumu drama dragged it down. It's a great premise, having her feel insecure do to all the changes and losing the attention of her childhood friend, but instead of making her sympathetic, the show paints her as a selfish villain. More than being insecure of being left behind, she outright rejects the concept of Yu having dreams of her own. It's especially frustrating, because we know that Yu's dream involves supporting Ayuma as a School Idol, so Ayumu rejecting Yu's dream is like shooting herself in the foot and only serves to push her away.

On the positive side, I liked seeing that each girl has there own little support group within the school. The game doesn't really show other students helping out, so actually seeing supporters throughout the school really demonstrates that being a school idol is more than another club. I also just like seeing support characters in general.

Finally watching the last 2 episodes before I head to next season anime... lol

Anyways... TBH the Random End Drama and Resolve still felt too awkward, as they're literally out of no where.

Also, I think we just went in a full circle. Where the first issue Yu and Ayumu solved was Setsuna, and now it's Setsuna that solved Yu and Ayumu's issue.

Let’s get the negatives out of the way first. There’s nothing I hate more in this show than the random insert songs in public places they did for the first few episodes. They brought that back in this episode and I just hate it. The song was fine but you don’t need a song in every episode. In this instance, it was brutally unnecessary.

That was really the only thing I didn’t like about this episode, though. Everything else was solid. Some good buildup for the School Idol Festival. Can’t wait to see the big finale next week with the Festival.


Finally there is someone who has the same thought as mine. I also really dislike them too. It feels like they just traded the episode quality with the random insert song in public places for the sake of making sales of the anime. And it's like they were doing hard selling.

I like the anime in overall but not for that random insert song decision.

Blame Lantis for too much insert song. Probably they want to sell cd song. Well on positive side each their insert cd song sell around 40-50k copies.

So many negative comments here... Sigh...

I think this episode was very touching and entertaining. Ayumu's character development has been amazing through the season and her bond with Yuu is nothing but beautiful. <3

Her performance at the end was magical.

Initially, I wasn't expecting the drama to be wrapped up in this episode. I guess that's to be suspected since this is only 13 episodes (before the 2nd season was announced). I still would like to see how Ayumu and Yuu's relationship will turn out

rewatched because of Nijigaku favorite best girl's birthday

After
Ayumu passed from 3rd favorite to 1st, and the predictable events of episode 11 made me concerned that she was going to do something stupid as well and as a result thinking that it was me bringing bad luck and ruining everyone i like or something. I wasn't happy about watching all those yandere memes or reading of people actually wanting to see yet another slap scene, and it didn't matter who would have been on the receiving end. I'm the first that wanted Ayumu to solve her problem with a mature attitude, but at the same time i always thought that a lot of criticism came from people who isn't aware in real life of what it means (i do, a lot...) to have shyness, insecurities, fear of losing your best friend (and/or only) and thinking there's nothing good about yourself overall.

So, i was afraid this could have been the worst episode of the entire franchise and dragged with its negativity into the season finale, and instead it turned out to become my favorite of Nijigasaki series. Ayumu realizes she reacted exaggeratedly, Yuu understands why she did act as she did the night before, and Nana/Setsuna is so good in her choice of words to do her part in fixing the problem.

Everything in this episode starting with Ayumu reaching and discovering her own stage, receiving a flower full of symbolism from Yuu and support from those first-year girls, to the very end of Awakening Promise is absolutely wonderful. This is in my opinion her best song, it outperformed the first one from the pilot easily, and the animation is ... i'm out of words, especially those seconds before the chorus when she's flying in sky smiling happily even after her wings suddenly appear and disappear.

PS Kasumi is still so funny, i was genuinely both sorry for her and amused at the same time when every other idol in the room was leaving for other people requests except for her, picked up as the last one.

Wonderful conclusion between Yuu and Ayumu, I love it!
And we get to see Ayumu singing again for a 2nd time. Wow.

Honestly, watching Ayumu being selfish irks me so much for some reason but I still love Ayumu for being that lovely, cute and adorable.
I can only see them as being best of friends, last episode made it feel like something like a Yuri but I guess I was just being delusional.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Aww, that moment between Ayumu and Yuu was so sweet. Glad they didn't drag it more than it needed to.
