Wow, that episode was good. The end...Nico's face. Omg.

Seriously though, who posted the performance video?

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

So glad there's 3 more members now! Hanayo is definitely my favourite now. I'm really excited for everyone to be recruited so they can finally start proper idol activities.

Good episode, I'm glad we're seeing the numbers grow. It also means that there is no focus on any single character, which I also like. I'm also looking forward to their next performance, whenever that may be (they haven't even mentioned it).
Next episode looks good as well, looking forward to it.
5/5.

Secret mad "stalker" fangirl X (Niko) seems to be the focus of the next episode. I'm pretty sure that this will be a 2-cour or perhaps this'll get even more cours. It would have to be very rushed otherwise, and they're taking their time introducing every girl and what not.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

About the video that is on internet I really dont know who recorded it. If you see the video is from the begining (wneh nobody was on the auditorium) to the end, but I'm suspecting that the girl that appears on the en d of this episode is guilty.

I really feel like this series is trying to say something. Everyone that opposes this new system (the idol group) eventually comes to be assimilated into it through very slow indoctrination...

Anyways, I'm having a hard time understanding why I'm enjoying watching this so much.

I'm surprised at how Nishikino easily joined the idol group without any reluctance. Well then, looks like the school idol group is ready to explode now.
Nico, the secret fangirl, or the troll?

Who would thought this idol anime would actually be so good!
Characters here are great and songs too, three more to come.
I didn't expect Nishkino and Rin would agree so early.

Hanayo without glasses is adorable though I actually like her more when she is wearing them.

Can't wait for their next public concert.

Hanayo and Maki had pretty clear motives for joining μ's at the end of this episode, but I was kind of confused on why Rin decided to join when she was the one to bring up her tomboyish nature. Hanayo didn't exactly try to convince her otherwise after the flashback. Maybe Rin changed her mind because she took it as a fact before μ's was formed, and Hanayo's efforts to join them planted some seeds of doubt that caused Rin to reevaluate her self image? I don't know, it just stuck out as something weird to me. In fact the whole Rin thing was kind of weird to me since her singing voice is my second favorite out of all of them.

Other than that I liked the episode overall, especially with the more subtle stuff involving Maki. And I'm a sucker for the thing where they change the ending animation/song based on what happened during the episode.

Rin chose to join Muse because she wanted to become more feminine. If you watch season 2, there's a whole episode dedicated to her and her becoming more "girly"

Really delicious watching this episode. The soundtrack is fantastic and the characters, you can not help but love them, because of their sympathy. Now that Kayo, made its entry into the group, teamed up with Maki and Rin, I do not wait to see Nico, in the group.

The gruop is starting to take it´s final shape now. Finally Hanayo with some forced but necessary encouragement took the first step to becomming an Idol and the rest followed along who were also doubtful but felt inspired by Hanayo finally fulfills her dream. The intro btw is so good, don´t know why I didn´t say it in the first episode post... Kind of a bummer that the intro spoils the whole line up though.

Well Niko was obvious from all the "nico nico nii"-videos on YouTube, that´s what I´m mainly waiting for watching this. That was honestly what made me wanna see this anime xP Usually how I´ve been deciding my plan-to-watch list so far xD

"KissXsis" for example only after I saw a certain chocolate banana clip... That´s how considerate I am LOL.

It's the first sighting of the Alpacas~ But what really took the cake of laughs was Hanayo's experience in Honoka's House of Horrors lmao I'm surprised that Umi of all people has an inner idol as intense as a thousand suns xD

So...much...feels in this episode ;~; Just when I thought there was gonna be some tense drama between Rin and Maki, they put Hanayo's feelings first as a common goal and gave her a final push towards her path of being the idol she always dreamt of being. When Hanayo started introducing herself properly, I cried so hard (even harder rn coz I'm rewatching that scene while typing this). Rin, you can finally be girly all you want and Maki, follow your dreams in music! Welcome ta Muse, you three ♡ Seeing them act so close to each other warms my heart~

Nico the idol troll in a dark room typing away lmao I wanna know who put up that video~

Also, Hanayo is so precious girl.. Didn't think about her as such, with her design not really being something I usually like, but she's so cute and beautiful as a personality in some ways.. Hope she'll be happy or something.. ;p

Wasn't the girl at the end the masked one that already appeared in episode one? She seems to be quite the hater xD Granted, not for long.

Still loving it, the emotional moments are so well directed. Welcome Koizumi.

So here it is where the alpaca meme was born lol.

I laughed so hard at the three girls saying their flaws to Hanayo:

-Umi: "I have stage panic"
-Kotori: "I usually forget the lyrics"
-Honoka: "Yeah... I'm kinda retarded"

The three new members are too cute! Hanayo, Rin and her "Nyaaaa" sounds and obviously Maki. I felt it for Koizumi though, the moment she started to speak louder, her courage vanished...

rewatched because of Hanayo's birthday, wearing purple contacts and the upper part of Otonokizaka uniform in her honor

best girl Eli is still the antagonist but those shifty looks with Nozomi mean definitely something

Maki going back and forth from tsundere to clumsy in her house is absolutely adorable, and these are among the main reasons why she is my second favorite

And of course Yukiho and Umi doing embarassing stuff in secret thinking nobody is going to watch them were priceless, including exiting the respective doors to verbally attack Hanayo and the smug face of Honoka discovering Umi's ... rehearsals.

Soon to be funniest girl appears only in the very final moment and it's already something to remember



But... favorite scene is by a long shot the one that begins with Rin and Maki's combined hands that push Hanayo into joining μ's. Yes, it's still that emotional, and i've never stopped feeling sorry for her because she stayed my second to last favorite girl from the group (even if i always liked all of them) before surpassing Honoka and Nozomi two years ago after my second full rewatch. Obviously glad the other two first years joined themselves on the spot because of their own motivations, but it's hard to not be moved by Hanayo's speech in the first place. "DAREKA TASUKETE!" (and at last... she is pretty with glasses, even more without).
