| meh hope its worth picking this back up still at a Average/10 |
 |
| Such an amazing episode, really worth the boring build up until now 5/5. |
 |
| Nice concert. This "Marionette no Kokoro" was very good. |
 |
| Holy crap that was an intense episode. Very high-anxiety as you can feel the panic of the characters, what to do what to do what to do etc. WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS NOT AN 1.5 HOUR EPISODE SHOWNIG ALL THE SONGS IN FULL LENGTH? Yeah, totally. Would have loved to actually see a whole-concert-length episode, where you actually watch the minutes tick by yourself as the group is trying to figure out how to drag things out until Ryugou Kimachi (or however it's spelled; I feel lazy right now) arrived. And by that I mean getting to see BOTH groups perform. Hell we are almost half way through and there is not even an antagonist. A rival group or something, too any of you who have played the game is there anything even close to what im hopping for in this series?I know my tone my sound like i hate the show, but it is quite the opposite. Just getting impatience Don't necessarily need an antagonist to have character development. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| AS I thought since episode 2... Miki is the best of the whole bunch. Charismatic, Great MC skill, strong fitness level(probably only behind Hibiki and Makoto)... She sparkled! |

| Miki is the best idol or what? She sure did sparkled and Ryuugu Komachi got nothing on her. |
| Truly one of the best episodes so far. I'm happy they finally recieved attention. I hope they won't be in the shadow of Ryuuguu anymore. Rest@rt was wonderful, the other songs (the ones we actually heard...) were also pretty good. I'm sad though that they didn't show most of them for longer than 5 seconds :/ Miki was great as well. So if I get it right the infamous Jupiter will appear as the rivals next time... Somehow I'm really dreading it, I hope they won't be the enemy for long. And I also hope they won't do any bigger things to hurt the girls! :( |
 |
| Best episode yet. impressive amount of songs, a lot of animation |
 |
| Finally, a great episode! This series needs more concerts. Miki stole the show (no surprise there), and I'm glad we actually got to SEE it this time. |
  |
| Miki best girl! |
   |
| And the concert proves to be successful but its sad that Ryuguu Komachi did not perform in this episode :(. Everyone went full out with all the energy they have and it was a blast in the concert. Love how the camera pans around the stage and the character movements, but somewhat disappointed that it is short songs. Great episode with the concert that is amazing. |
| Impressive episode! Really liked this one, let's see what's next though! |
 |
| They should just let Miki debut as a solo singer haha. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Finally the others debut T_T Now, how long until they can sing together 12 as 1?? Well, Miki was the MVP of this episode Also, I need to hear all of the inserted song... There's so many... I wish I could hear them all in this ep!! |
"Signature removed"   |
| REST@RT was simply amazing. I'm going to replay that scene over again. |
| Boring ep |
| Miki performance was the only thing entertaining for this ep |
| Episode cute, addictive even if not 100% always, very pleasant musical accompaniment. Plot that moves forward while not as innovative as its concept. Good narrative passages, drawings sufficient. Animations erratic. Very nice ending. |
 |
| Wow that episode really got me. I love Haruka's little speeches. |
| Does anyone know the song that starts playing at 14.09 ? :p |
 |
| Miki being real cool there! Loved how she persuaded the audience. She did right by telling them about the situation. Can't believe she'd grow so much on me. And I love her deep voice! Her cutesy one is okay (definitely better than some others) but I much prefer this. Also Chihaya's sounded like a good one, so I guess I will go hear the full ver. Damn that's a well-deserved rest. Great job. One of the best episodes so far. |
 |
| Really good wrap-up to t he first story arc. Looking forward to the next saga |
 |
on 
| They're finally working their way up. I'm looking forward to what they're going to do next now that they're starting to get a following. I like how they had the crowd chant during the last performance making it feel like a real jpop/kpop concert. Reminds me of this crayon pop video. |
 |
| ...It was good not great. I really wanted this episode to knock it out of the park. With a few exceptions most of the music in the series has been confined to 30 second-1 minute bursts. And this was supposed to be the balls out concert episode. They even engineer a slightly believable sense of conflict. With Ryuguu Komachi being held up by the typhoon. But while there were some highlights. Like Miki doing the Marionette song. And the big finale where they all come together. It was mainly just snippets again. And bad distracting manufactured drama. I remember K-On! had this problem doing big concert episodes as well. But this one was definitely a little underwhelming. Considering how long this series is, might have benefited from a two parter. Also we didn't hear ANY Ryuguu Komachi not even the opening bars of one of their songs at the end. |
 |
| Holy shit, that was so tense! As much as he tried, Typhoon-kun failed to ruin their first concert, get rekt. Awesome job by everyone, props to all of them, especially Miki who both notified the situation to the audience (that btw was nice, they sure enjoyed the show no matter what!) And then made a crazy performance with 2 songs one after the other, what a beast! |
 |
| I didn't post my thoughts last episode so I will now for both last and this episode as both focused on Mikimiki quite a bit. The thing that stood out for me last episode was Producers development, his recognition for everything Miki was thinking, especially in the shopping scene really came through to show how different he is in regards to his relation with the girls from this episode and back when he kept giving them the wrong jobs. It characterized Miki in a cool way too, she has shown us she can be a phenomenal person who tries her hardest, but alike any young girl they have complex emotions they can't exactly understand. She's battling over comfort and excitement and trying to bridge a gap between them, so learning she couldn't join the group made that bridge she was trying so hard to build crumble. But, Producer-san came through and gave her that adorable pinky swear which convinced her to try hard again. This episode concluded that mini story with Miki, her yet again trying as hard as she did before she got the bad news. She learned after saving the entire day, dancing for two songs, that she can still shine and that her effort isn't going to waste! You could see Producers understanding when she asked to do both songs, to him and to her whether or not she will mess up doesn't matter, what matters is that this is what she wants and needs and he had absolute trust in her. That was a special moment. <3 I got incredibly anxious as things were going downhill, but when they turned around and all the corner stones to that happening occurred I got equally excited as I used to be anxious! This was a really fun episode, even if it was also a stressful one. All the girls really showed their best sides. And let's not forget the crucial new information we got... Ami and Mami text through emoticons! |
| I'm so proud of all of them! (๑>ᴗ<๑) |

I would actually die for Miki  |
| Miki was awesome! The dance choreography was amazingly animated too :D |
 |
| Watchers really somehow first were very skeptic.. And then really got into the mood quickly.. Well, things worked out in the end.. But public's reaction is a bit strange to me personally.. |
| Miki carried HARD holy shit what a babe yes she sparkled great midseason concert |
