Heh, that was meh. More training and idol discipline..

I really wonder how long this is going to continue. It does seem like the group get out and have some fun though after seeing that video. That does look like they are having some fun there.

Such a cute episode asdfkjsldfkjslfk

Daiki is probably my second fave now. I like the pace the plot is going at. I was worried because the play was going to be in two months time when they announced it, but I'm glad they decided to speed things up. Introducing a new character was great too. I loved seeing the old Shounen Hollywood. That was adorable.

During half the episode though I was wondering whether or not Daiki and Tommy were related. I'm pretty sure they aren't, but they look/act alike so it's kinda eerie.

Great ep though. Love the OST :-)
Next ep is Kira! Looking forward to next week as always.

Reunion of 2 Tommy was nice, especially the part where the former Tommy entrusts his title of Good Luck Charm to the current Tommy.

I wonder if the current Shounen Hollywood knows that their president used to be an idol too.
Well, even if he's not an idol anymore, he's still working in the same field as them, which is closer to his dream compared to the former members.

Not bad. That owl is my favorite character though. He's so chill!

Lol that owl XD Did it try to say "Ho ho ho" in the end? Or was it just making its owl noises.

Mii's theme for this episode was uncertainty of future, or the inevitability that everyone will go their separate ways. It's sad to think about it, but what can you do except focus on the present and have fun?

Hmm the president seems like he may have been one of the idols in Shounen Hollywood along with Tommy's generation? If so, that was a cute yet brief reunion at the end.

I don't know if i am feeling especially emotional tonight but i was tearing up when Mii said "their dreams didn't come true" and there was this "you can't be idol forever"............i am just so invested in idol groups and i know way too many of people who said stuff like "i want to perform together with everyone forever"...but yeah,that's not very likely to happen:(

I was suprised that Creepy Shachou was God, but then realized that it was pretty obvious, seeing they have the same seiyuu lol

'meh' episode~
the part about the first shounen holleywood looked more interesting than the current group ...

I liked how Tommy passed the baton to the new Tommy.
Is that a new ending song? It's nice.

Loved it. Favourite episode so far.

This show is growing on me now. The pacing is really well done and I really like how they're doing character focused episodes and fleshing each of them out. This is a solid 7 and can be even higher as long as it keeps up this quality. Aoi Shouta's acting is great btw.

Also, dat OST! Cool jazz track near the end. Remind me to download it when it comes out.

@LOAD: Exactly my thoughtssss. Feels.

That little "aha" sound daiki puts after almost every last word he says is so annoying ._.
Jeez, my least favorite character as of now

I like this ep better than the prev ep. It's boring at times but the parts where Tommy and the predecessors appeared were quite entertaining to watch. I just don't know why but the predecessors are more likeable than the current bunch of kids.

Ah, passing the torch and the uncertainty of reality. Miracles do come true, alas they aren't your dreams.

Even if this isn't subverting the pop idol culture, it feels so genuine about its characters that I can't fault it in any way. Even if you can't be an idol forever, you can still be buried with the theater making new ones, for that is just how reality is.

It's because they've already evolved from kids to real idols. I really like that the predecessors are keeping in touch with the current idols and helping them grow.

Though this isn't the most exciting/entertaining show, it's quite genuine. I like the messages this show portrays.
Though I hope they speed it up a little in the later episodes...

So the director is not the same as before? Tommy gave the idea that he's dead already.
Ohhh the actual director is God =)

Tommy is like Tomii's elder self. Ryu seems interesting. God (why this name?) has a nice voice. God, God is president? (Meant as semi-pun) But seriously, I didn't expect that.

The ED this episode was nice.

I actually liked this episode, it was deep and really nice. I think I am gonna stick with this show till the end.

Just as many of us thought, the president is one of the originals. Teshi does look like he's still 18, even if he must be 35+.

I feel the part with the dreams of the original group didn't really work. The dreams people say they have when they get a camera in the face doesn't have to have much in common with their real dreams. Obviously, they'd all say something related to the group. (also, didn't younger Tomi say he saw Ko in a music show?)

Meh, This episode was kind of boring.
I'd like something more to happen then just reminiscing and idol training.

This stuff was fine for the first episode, it started getting old in the second episode, but now that it's the third episode, there should be some kind of plot development, some kind of conflict or challenge... or maybe just something to work towards.

The pacing here seems pretty slow for a 1-cour series. Really hope they pick up the pace.

Oh! I am liking the new ending, though. Hope they do something like that for every episode.

Wow this episode wasn't a snooze fest I really liked it!

One of the former idols is now the president of Shounen Hollywood that was the plot twist for the week cause I wasn't really expecting that. He looks like the only one who has really aged. xD

If I remember correctly, the novel is about the first group's story right?

the group's separation that is shown in this episode makes me feel sad. All those feels in the novels only to end up in separation

QUALITY

I'm laughing, like. Why is the president God? What Intelligent Being thought that was a good name?


But otherwise, this Daiki episode was quite sweet. A bit sickening with the Tommy inheritance stuff at end, but the first 3/4 hit home in a good way. Sweet orphan child.

LOL Ryu. Never change.

Less boring than last week and I appreciate the very positive message behind Tommy passing the torch to Tomii-kun, as well as the stark contrast between the tape showing the previous SHO HOLLY members telling what they dreamt of and what they actually end up being.
You dreams don't always come true, but as long as your passion is able to model the way for the future generations and encourage them to follow their own, then you've accomplished a small, but nonetheless true miracle.

I like this animu. I really do.

This series is rather dull and boring. Meh. Utapri and Love Live! are far superior idol shows.

[Spoiler]
And we all guessed it, the manager is one of the originals. Seems rather bizarre though how Teshi hasn't aged a bit and God-shachou has.

^ Lol, but yea I have only watched the first season of UtaPri and maybe a few episodes of UtaPri2 but I like this show much more.

The only part of the show so far that I thought was boring is the first half of the first episode.

That owl is cute and hilarious. x3

This episode had some interesting interactions between Tommy and Tomii.

"Miracles happen without our ever knowing about them. If that is really true, this world is mostly filled with miracles. This world is built upon the miracles made by countless people."

I guess that's true.
