Whoa, this episode got pretty serious. Wasn't expecting that. There's a nursery crisis and the case even escalates into hostage conflict. Hell, even police got involved.

Hoshina must be feeling a lot of pressure this episode.
I love how the kids used their creative ideas to deal with the adults though lol

What a waste of money, probabaly costed 100x more to have that hostage situation than it would have been to just keep the damn school open xD

The kids easily kept out the police assault in creative ways. Natsuki was a totally, totally convincing hostage.

Most ridiculous episode yet, was pretty amusing though. :3

I can't believe the police, media and whoever actually took a bunch of preschoolers holding people hostage seriously. I mean, how is that even believable to the extent you have to setup perimeters, riot squads and even negotiations. xD

What the hell is a bee hive doing so near the ground? XD

The kids were pretty crafty in dealing with those policeman , that's some Home Alone level stuff right there man. XD
I think the first reform the idol dietwoman should do is to to call into question the credibility of their policemen. :P

I get this crazy impression that I'm actually watching a brilliant satire about indoctrination, multiple-parties colluding to keep the people enthralled with song-and-dance, and glossing over social issues with feel-good mantras.

But maybe I should just cheer for the cute girls instead of worrying about all that.

Nah. I have enough of it. The beginning was promising, but now I'm just bored.

Babies holding people hostage to protest the closing of their school. This damn show, man. It was admittedly fun to see those weirdo weapons they used against the police in action. Natsuki still best girl.

A bit nice that it isn't exactly the song that causes the villain of the day to change his ways, but instead several convincing arguments. Changes of pace are nice in a formulaic show like this one.

Those sure were some badass preschool hostage takers! XD Extremely silly premise for an episode, but at least it was adorable in execution. XD

That was a rather interesting but fun episode.

I thought it was pretty funny watching Natsuki be the policewoman.

They didn't need the singing this time, it was the mothers who got the politician on their side.

What about his, "Bam! Refuted!"? I giggled at that.

It's only been one ep and I already miss Momo T^T I loved her chemistry with Natsuki and her overall personality, I need more of her.
Natsuki deserves an Oscar for that deep and convincing hostage act, I was biting my nails in anticipation.

Ok wtf the big bad Rougai boss is a total tsundere, liking their pics on his own free time and then acting like he hates, them. Just give him time, eventually the tsun-tsun will wear out and you'll be left with some dere-dere big baddie episodes

Isn't that the point of the show? It's just that it's done rather poorly and doesn't convey its messages as good as it should and ends up being more of a meme show.

What's done poorly? Just because it has a sense of humor in the way it mocks politics? Because it doesn't get overwhelmingly depressive when looking at idiocy in society? Perhaps you think it doesn't convey its ideas well because it's not conveying YOUR ideas.

Bam, refuted.

Okay, I actually liked this because they didn't blast the evil politician with idol power...

A little different episode this time.

Natsuki looked cute in the police chief uniform. ^^

The whole "hostage" situation was quite amusing.

They didn't have to sing and turn the evil politician into a good person. Those mothers were the true heroes of the episode.

I'm glad the school didn't get closed, after all.
