Hmm, this episode went a little wild on the outfit parts but was entertaining in some ways


The song was okay I guess. There's enthusiasm and energy behind it with the neko-like outfits. The fans were also into it as well. However, the performance itself had some sloppy moments.

I loved the new version of "ØωØver!!". Pretty average episode, like the season has been overall. At least they're being consistent, I just wish there was more development.

And it looks like Mishiro really is going to put Rin in an unit with Karen and Nao, like some of us suspected since the beginning of the season. It makes me feel excited for the next few episodes, but also feel bad, thinking about how Uzuki and Mio will feel if that happens.

Now that Riina had her episode, I think Rin, Anya and, of course, Uzuki deserve theirs, now. They're probably the ones who've had less time focused on them as individuals and not with their units.

And so continues the adventures of the director messing everything up and all the girls having personal troubles one after the other in a highly convenient fashion. This season really could do with taking itself less seriously at times, as this direction is really not working too well for me.

i still can't make sense of riina, she goes on and on about rock but doesn't seem to listen to rock music at all....
the episode was still pretty nice though, i liked the scene with the three girls performing their one and only "concert" as unit.

Riina had so much opportunity to be a really great character when she was first introduced but she's such a lame cop out. Always talks about rock but everyone with eyes can tell her ass has never listened to it. There's not even any excuse, either. It's 2015, you can listen to music online with the click of a button, she's just being some weird poser.

I also never really had a favourite girl in this show, I mostly just found them all ok (it was gonna be Ranko until it turned out she actually hates scary stuff, yawn) but Natsuki is officially best girl. What a bodacious babe.

So tell me again, that standard animation like it is in Idolm@ster is not WHOLE UNIVERSE better than 3D shit (like performances in LoveLive) ? Their movers/guitar play etc was animated awesome.

What's up with Nana appearing in the ending out of nowhere? I don't know if she's in a unit with Natsuki or something but it seemed so odd for her to be there...
Anyway, nice episode even though I feel the Miku/Riina unit tension wasn't actually resolved.

I wonder if Rin will quit new generations. She seemed interested when singing with Nao and Karen.
I'd feel sad for Uzuki but I think it would be a good oportunity for Rin since new generations is the only unit I think to be really plain and boring. They don't do anything for me.
We'll see...

They really should have focused on the characters introduced in season 1. Although I don't mind this weeks ep, how the ***k this rates higher than the previous season is a mystery to me.

I didn't realize they used 3D in LL. Everytime a song happened I just skipped it. Never been one to be entertained by stage performances. 3D works now and then, I'll have to go back and watch sometime.

Good episode but the problem with too many characters is screentime and has been the problem since season 1. Focusing on the current 13 character balance is hard enough and they branch out (I like that they did but there will be flaws) to introduce more and more characters which can be considered minor ones but it's hurting the show.

It seems Natsuki ended up making a unit with Nana Abe called NatsuNana, as indicated in the ED credits.

This time we've got Riina episode along with Natsuki.

I gotta say, I laugh a bit when Riina actually don't have much of knowledge about rock despite keep arguing with Miku for their unit image,I guess that's where "Poser" nickname come from.

Natsuki was cute with her hair down when she came to Asterisk concert,and it will be more cute if she have a girly side.

It seems we back focus on New generation girls(especially Rin) though it seems Anya will be involve too.

The drama of not knowing where to go and whether you should continue to do what you're currently doing is real. Nicely done episode.

Natsuki is pretty darn cool. It was also really cool to see the unit at the end consisting of 2 rock idols and 2 cute animal chara idols as a unit.

Best senpai pair for best pair. It's like they're seeing themselves in a few years.

Natsuki's presence made me realize how girly Rina really is. It's not to say she's a poser, but she embraces her rock style in a completely different way from Natsuki's edgy, gritty approach. Loved the scene at the end with Miku's expression as she was watching Rina sing. I hope Natsuki does get in on the ball because she's way too cool to leave out at this point.

It took a while, but it feels like Cinderella Girls found its groove. These one-off sentimental stories about following your dreams and passions are really heavy-handed and cheesy, but at least it's what the show feels comfortable doing. Also, why was Nana there at the end? Was there something that I missed?

I always thought Riina's headphone's were just for show but well her rock is different from Natsu's rock.
I was expecting Natsuki to bring up that parking lot conversation, like tell Riina she didn't have to lie to her about liking rock. But in the end it worked out ok.

That rock performance at the end was cool. I wonder what Bunny Girl will bring if it's true.

Dariina has a nice ring to it tbh.

Ah Riina is embarrassing. She has no idea what she listens to. It makes me wanna shut my ears. It comes across as fake. Natsuki is cool.

This episode was so slow, it made me feel jittery. The unit at the end is nice tho.

Another awesome episode!

Rock really is one of the coolest genre on earth!
Riina+Natsuki is just soo cooool. Really love both of them.
Too bad they have to part ways, or is it?

How does it feel, really, to be denied multiple times. Poor Mishiro.
Now Kimura Natsuki resigned from the band.
I can't see why. The band looks cool though.

Then Kimura Natsuki join unit with Abe Nana?
Or is it Asterisk+Kimura Natsuki+Usamin?
Wow!

Looks like Rin+Karen+Nao is happening.
What happen to Uzuki and Mio?
Wow!

Riina doesn't know much about rock, hm.. Well, a bit surprising.. But even I as anime fan won't be able to tell about many things in anime which are not of my primary interest.. Like in some genres I won't know anything about many of classics, really.. But maybe some knowledge would be nice for her to get, if she wants to be rock idol..
I like how season 2 feels much more than season 1 personally.. I think now I know characters more, and enjoying stories with them more..
